There are among the North American
Indians some most curious accounts of
the oreation, none more so than that of
the Utes of Colorado. Here, in brief,
is what they say: In the beginning the
earth was coverod with mists. You
could not see before you. The Great
Spirit took his bow and arrows and shot
?shot so well that he scattered the mist
The earth became visible to him, but
there were no men upon it Then he
took clay, fashioned a man and set him
to bake. Man came out white; the fire
had not been strong enough; the Great
Spirit began his workagoin, and this time
the man came out quite black; he had
remained too long in the oven. It was
necessary to try a third time. The ex?
periment at lenght succeeded, and man
came out done to a turn; he was a red?
skin, the most perfect of human typo.
A Sorr Thtng.?A religious paper,
which is supposed to speak ex cathedra,
nnd to tell nothing bnt the truth and
shame the devil, says of the keeper of a.
summer resort, that "his soft crabs nil
run about, perched on the back of chick?
ens, and invite yon to the dining-room."
Now, if that was not printed in n reli?
gious newspaper, no one would bolieve
it.
Mile. Schneider took up a subscription
among the audience at the recent benefit
in Paris for the sufferers by the floods,
and treated the men as capriciously as
ever did her Majesiy of Gerolstein when
she disposed of Prince Paul, for when
they took out pocket-books to search for
a Napoleon, she coolly appropriated their
onitrc contents.
The Galveston News says that between
thirty and forty persons are now living
in Galveston, who-voted at the eleotion
for President of Texas in 1038, when the
whole vote of the then republic was
7,247. Since then the population of
Texas has increased amazingly. Its pre?
sent estimate is 1,250,000.
The Alabama Radicals want a thorough j
cleansing ont of offices, and even go so
far as to tell the President that all un?
worthy and incompetent officials in the J
State are indebted for their positions
to the evil influences of Spencer at
Washington.
A great falling off is reported this sum?
mer in the soles of books and magazines j
