CjjflwMiTxrgistrf.j CONYERS,GA., THURSDAY DEO 2", Wbfl. ■yf y / £ CA3 N’SWIFE? HowthePciplexing Question jj jfl nswered by the Rev. C. P. IT Carthy. The Itev. C. P. McCarthy, who preach, rs every Sunday in the L Diversity Building, Washington ■•sqimHN as pas tor of what is called the American l*rto Church, endeavored to answer the ques tion, “Who was Cain’s V/ ife T 'ast eve* ] ning. He took his text from the fourth chapter of Genesis and the seventeenth verso. The preacher said that he had aelected the peculiar subject announced at the request of several members of his congregation. Maintaining that old theories at, to the meaning of the Bible stories had ceased to he tenable because of the increased light of science, he said that the theory held by many as to Cain's wife would also have to be aban doned. “The orthodox answer to the question," said he, “is ‘perhaps Cain mar. riod his sister. Well, I don t think he did. Now, lam not going to shirk the answering of this question. I hsve a theory of our race which others do not believo in. Niue out o ten believe that the human race cainc from one pair. I don't believe it. Do you say that is her etical 7 Perhaps it is, hut this is not a question to ho answered by those who cliug to the old theories. That old the ory can never answer it. Iu the first place, Cain could not have married his sister when be departed to the land of Nod, beennse ho had no sister. M hen Seth was born Adam was only one hun dred and thirty years old, a very young man for those days, and Seth was his third ‘child. There is no mention of daughters. In the second place, Cain departed to a country where there were p< ople, and he feared these people would slay him because of his crime, and the Lord recognized the reality of this dan ger and set a mark on him that he might be saved. The Bible nowhere states that thero were only two people origi nally created. Adam was the generic name for the human ram', and ‘male and female created he them. Do you believe that negroes and Chinese are the decon dants of the same progenitors with our selv< s 1 I don’t. Cain went, over to the land of Nod, and there became the chief of a rnce which lie found there. He built a city, lie couldn't have done this alone. This, then, must be the an swer to the question ; there were races of people upon the earth at the time Cain was driven out a vagalmnd, and from this race C\in look his wife." The preacher dwelt at considerable length on the lessons to he drawn from the life of Cain, and exhorted all to a vold the little sins, for even Cain did not become a murderer all at once, but was led up to that great crime by envy and jealous feelings. SCOTLAND. To-day is Scotland’s nntional anniver sary, and it will be celebrated wberevei the sun shines ; for though Scotland is but a small country, sho has poured a hardy and adventurous race 'hroughout the world, and whether in the great cen tres oi trade like New A ork, 01 „in the Canadian woods,or on Asti alien plains, no one of her sons will fail upon t>t. An drew's feast to think of ‘‘Auhl T.ang Syne." Love of country and fidelity to her traditions are strong elements in their strongly marked ohrraoter. Scot tish nationality is a nohlo product. Its vat ions elements, mingling in the strug gle against ltomau power, and the long contest gainst English aggression, fused but slowly. The welding wh°n accom plished was, however, firm, and the steel was tempered in the rigors of a harsh climate and polish and in the eonfiict with a barren soil. The national eliar aeter became keen, bold, self-reliant, and the world now conceives of the Scotch as a people industrious, frugal, inveu live, religious but not superstitious, can lions Jbut notoowardly, metaphysically subtle yet romantic, dowered with all the money getting virtues and still the soul of social glee. It is the |>eculiar good fortune of Scotland that she is known to all nations and yet has incur ml the hatred of none. Like other lands she was rich in poets, painters, philosephcrs and orators, but in Burns aud Scott she was blessed with two sons of geuius who knew her every bill, dale and river, and held everything about her in reverence even to the yellow broom, and yet were such broad and get iai types ol humanity that the world look them to its heart and loved even their prejudices lor their ank \ The names of her mountains and streams became house hold words elsewhere, an l the quaint and carious dialect of her peasantry grew classical. Who has not listened to the murmuring of Alton among its green braes or watched the delicate sjwars of ice forming along the Ayr, under its Twa lings, and seen the wonderful pro cession led by the genius of the stream come slowly down the tide ? For how many ot us the banks and braes of Bou- ny Doon r -mnin always fresh and fair. Are here any hills whose green out lines are so familiar as inose of Mor wen and Ben lomond 1 And how the ro mantic light ever glinmurs over Knliiue and lovely Loch Ael.i ay ! So happy is the late of Scotland that even the peo ple Jugalnst whom her heroes fought, chim a fellowship in the heritage of their renown, and the sympathy of hug Inn,] has been won for Wallace of hllets lie. Politically, 100, Scotland has l>cen f irtunate. Wli.le her destiny is linked with that of tho greatest empire of mod ern times, Rhe still preserves her individ uality, self respect and prosperity in the union. In the great labors of England in Europe, America, Africa, Australia and Asia, in arts, commerce and conquest she has, like Ireland, partaken ; but in the fruits of those achievements, and in the glory of them, she has not been made like Ireland, an alien. To this country Scotland will ever be especially dear, since to her vve owe not merely that gratitude for her achieve ments in art and litetatnre, and that ho mage for her example in many a good cause, which the world owes, brit in ad dition thanks for one of the best elements in our own nationality. Elsewhere we have shown what strong, determined, in dependen men she gave the New World. The record of their work speaks for their worth, and in recounting the glo ries of Saotlrnd, the gentlemen of St. Andrew’s Society should not forget the roll of Scottish Americans, including i herein, as they fa'r’y may, tho ever green and fragrant name of our own Washington Irving. AN EXCITIN J CHASE. The Capture of a Polar Bear. I he Norwich (Conn,) Bulletin recently contained tire following: The skin ot an immense Polar bear lias been received by a gentleman in this city by’the bark Nile, from a friend on the bark Isabella, at Cumberland Inlet, with the following account of its capture: “A party ot men from the Issabella, includ ing a number of Esquimaux aud myself, were walking on the ice :i short dis'anee from the ship, when, rounding a hum mock, we unexpectedly discovered a large bear quietly feeding. We would have returned to the ship without ds turbing it, as we were armed with only one rifle and a few spears carried by the natives, had not one of the several dogs that were with us announced our pres er.ee by a loud bark. The bear, as it saw the intruders, began to advance slowly toward us, but was met by the dog, who attacked the animal vigorously’ but with lttle effect. He shook them off and alter injurig three of them so,liadly that they bad to be killed continued to advance. We discharged the rifle and then (Id to the ship, where we armed ourselves and came back to look after the bear, which bad disappeared behind one ot the nu merous hummock by which we were surrounded. Wo had searched for some time, when as£*one ot the Esquimaux passed the coiner of a hummock ho came faao to face with the infuriated animal, lie gave a ferful cry just as the brute struck him with one of his immense paws. The rest of us heard the cry and rapidly surrounded the brute, which stood per fectly still ovei the body of the Esqui iraux. We fired sixteen shots, twelve of which eutcred bis body before bo re c ivod his death wound. The i alive was insensible when we picked him up and badly torn about the shoulders by the beast's claws, bat was not seriously hurt. Wetbok the body of the bear on a sledge to the ship ; it weighed 1,575 pounds, and was tsn feet from nose to tail, and eight feel and four inches a round the thickest pan of iis body.” Awuitlcd Itic IliKlicsl ItlfSttl nt Vienna, E. & 11.
