TOPEKA. FRIDAY, JAN. 30.1880
IMF NEGRO 13 NOT A DE
SCENDANT OF NOAH
A brilliant Frenchman, writirfg of
the ancient people of the east, comes
to the above melancholy conclusion.
The white, red and yellow races can
claim th a oh or able distinction, but
the nogro is derived from no one of
the three sons of Noah, Down south
during the days when the shackles
clanked in harmony with the crack of
the whip and the deep-mouthed bay
ing bf the bloodhounds, pro-slavery
divines searched the liible for evi
dence to sustain the hell-born insti
tution. and agreed, &i'nce HaV was
cursed, it was thefr’Christian duty to
help execute the curse.
If the negro’s'brigin had btfen dem
onstrated dthdr than froih tiam, they
would enslaved him for being
an outsider in history. The divines
were able to give a Biblical twist to
any reason fdr their “inhumanity lb
taan.”
The traditions, myths anft histories
of the deluge ai-e more universal than
‘liny others in ebfin Action with primi
tive humanity, The French writer
‘finds most similar the traditidfis Of
the Uhaldekhs ferid’t hobble accobnt.
The Chaldeab’s Account is 'substan
tiated by the discovery of the tablets
by Smith at Nineveh. ’Each tradition
locates the iflood in the valley of the
Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Mis
to Mexico, Oceanico and
'tlte sea Mantis found that the tradi
tion of the deluge had preceded them.
At I the yellow and red races have feu
account And the account is univer
sal, except among the black braiidh
of the human race. The white, reel
and yellow races fei'c precisely the
ones named fes the descendants of
Noah, a*i£ are (he one's whose ac
counts agPeb in mdny particulars.
The hood is ribt a myth, and, whether
unfvershl or Idcal/stattfls a historical
fitct, fend ha's lett its impress upon
the Aryah, Semitic and Cushite civ
ilization. Yet the A frican has no
such tradition. This either leaves
the negro out of the deluge, or, if he
was ot the same stbek, created In
Asia, his ancestor’s rhhst have sepa
rated frofih the main stem anti gone
otT befdre tile flood occurred. He
then mfest *be, we inteY, fen independ
bn’t creation Probably an “indepen
dent grdwt*h from an African proto
plasm, as *&ev. uofeeph Cook would
fehy.
Thobfeh bot our fault, we have
mime a “fuss” wherever we have
£one, and it is demoralizing to have
the negro, at this late d*y, to come
in, and all the scientists ckn tell how
he came and where he came from. If
he did not come of Noah and was not
in the ark, he upsets the story of the
flood. If a universal flood occurred
aftd he irks not destroyed, he then
must be set apart for some higher
destiny. Up to the present, he has
been the slave of everybody, the
standing savage, through kll time, of
one continent, a race without a his
tory. Perhaps when our day comes
(as it has come to other races), vre
may be prottd of our distinct and
isolated position, uncomplicated with
the blunders and crimes of the
haughty and unsympathizing Cau
casian—'-(Our Age.
Either the people's manners are yet
quiet primitive in Liberia, or the cli
mate must be marvellously torrid
1 he Mayor of Monrovia has found it
necessary to order that ‘all persons
cOtrtin* into the city be clothed.”

'Senator Voorhees was mortified
and .chagrined on the flour of the
senate, Thursday, when the Republi
cans drew on him his record as an
original exodus man. *ft appears
that Senator Voorhees and other
Democrats made a report to the
House of Representatives ii?iB7O, on
the Kuklux’Vuestions, in which they
recduhnended an exodus as the only
salvation for the Negro. Exodus
or extinction, said they, h the only
thing left for l*he 'Negro in the future
Rut now, because the 'Negro see'tns
to prefer exodus to extinction, Sena
tor Voorhees and his JJemdcratic
asrociatesare terribly enraDgcd, and
want Ccngrees to put a slop to the
exodus, in order, we suppose that the
progress of extinction so vigorously
carried on by Southern Democrats,
may not be interfered with.
It is somewhat remarkable that
Senator Voorhees and the colored
peopleware in such perfect accord as
ib the dilemma presented. The only
chit hp of disagreement is the exasper
ating fact that the colored people pre
fer th*' exodus to the (Extinction horn

WHAT IS FORTHY?
“What is poetry?’' is a conundrum
we find in an esteethed contempo
rary. When a voting lady receives a
letter from her lover, and finds at
the omega of it those soul-inspirihg
tines—
‘‘The rhse l is red, the violet’s blue.
No knife can etc our lovfc ih two,”
she is willing to ma\e oath Yhat
sweeter poetry was never written.
The little girl of six summers, with
hea'venlv blue ey'os, a laughing difh
ple, fluhy golden hair pink cheeks
and pink sash, is a sweet poem—and
ten years hence sothe young man
will want to ihbti’e and form a coup
let. *The yc’.’bw dog going “kiting’’
fcbwh the street with a tinware at
tachment, is a poem—doggerel order.
l 4 he sad-eyed fisherman, who stanli
'long the river's edge hours
without getting a bite, is a verse
averse to standing tfieHe any longer :
so epics up his lines, which have not
fallen in pleksA'nt ‘placet, and con
cludes to ron-deau-vo home. And
the ft ft 'df tender grass, that appears
after the shows of winter have de
parted, in a spring poem—but hot
the kind the editor “sits upon.” The
man in the white pants at the pic
does that- And now if you
know what poetry is, we give it rijS.—
[Norristown lie raid.
GicsarnftMc IVcikf;licit
bigfHng is discribed in the dic
tionary as the act of ‘laughing with
short catches of the breath', as ‘laugh
ing idlv, tittering, grinning.” It is
silly.and childish eitough anv where
but in the hpust Of God it is abom
nible, yet* tfrere is no place where
giggling is: in ore common than iri
church It is natural in school girls;
but when met with in young wdnieri
of nineteen and twenty it is rinpAr
donable. It is frequently a charac
teristic in young men with incipierit
moustaches, who think they Qualify
themselves for manhood by affecting
contempt for what, thdir elders re
vere. They giggle at Arty thing . If
they catch the eye of an acquaintance
they giggle ; it ally dn*» rises too soon,
for the hyniri they giggle; if a baby
cries they giggle; if norite one drops a
book they giggle; if the clergyman
cough! they giggle; if the plate is
handed to some one who puts noth
ing In it they giggle: if some oric
near thenl sings out or repeats the
responses loiidly they giggle; if tlie
choir inakes a riiistake they giggle.
In fact, ridthing is too small or in.'ig
nitlcaht to arrest their notice and
produce a giggle.—Ex.
Many Spanish abolitionist at Mad
rid are clamoring for the immediate
suppression of slavery in Cifba."
