WAS JOB A fraud: Job wasn't much of a fellow, after all, in my opinion. He acquired a choap reputation for meekness and patience, by cultivating a crop or two nf tolerably sensitive boils; and I sup pose there isn’t much doubt that Job lid have a considerable yield of sore places; but I can’t see many cartloads of virtue in being patient and quiet, when the exertion necessary to let fly a respectable streak of profanity would have piade the boils ache like thunder. Job did the best he could under the circumstances, and Til bet he hunted about to get iuto an easy position with a ton more of anxiety to l)e comforta ble than he ever cherished to get his name into history. Job and Stanley got more renown out of slim material than any’oody I ever heard of—except, perhaps, Postmaster Grant, of Coving ton, whose fame is erected on the rep utation of his son. What a tip-top thing it. is for the old man that his fame isn’t very ponderous! But the fact of the matter is, Job’s bolo weren’t half so contrary, and hard to live with, as some things which I am compelled to smile at. while the whole inside of me is crammed with “cussin.” Job never had twins. Neither did I, since I come to think of it, but somebody had, and I can be found most any night, altout any time between one and six o’clock in the morning, in airy costume, with a twin under each arm, stirring around with the necessary velocity to shake the colic out of one twin, and to shake the slowest tooth that ever undertook to grow out of the other twin. Talk about “biles!” I’d rather have a peck of carbuncles judi ciously distributed all over me Then Job's wife didn’t have a sewing machine and he didn’t live under another man’s wife who also had a sewing machine. If Job could have listened, patently, to two sewing machines, that had just bcecn greased up and seemed to have an inclination to sew up all creation in five minutes, without feeling that it would relieve him, a trifle, to sit down and “cuss” the inventor for an hour or two, he was better got up, in point of disposition, than I’ve ever given him credit for. But I have to boar all this with a show of patience that makes me appear almost like an angel. I can think “cuss”—and I do some consid erable—but if I uncorked once the mother of those twins would feel called upon to bend up a coal-hop over my head, and I don’t like to have the twins see their female parent taking such violent-exercise. “Biles!” Give us our “biles,” Job, and you take the sewing machines. You can have the twins, too, if you hanker for affliction, and. if you think you can stand it, I could )>c induced to throw the mother NO. 37. m.n sf.eies—volume u.

We think some of devoting our whole time to building railroads. If we don’t do this, I think we shall try to die, pretty soon. We properly should have made arrangements to enter upon this enter prise, a month or two ago, but we couldn’t makp necessary arrangements for a respectable funeral. When I was in New York, however, a few-days since, my attention was attracted to a engaged a couple of mourners each for Alley, Ames afid myself, as I have a sort of a notion that there ought to lie some mourners at a Republican's funeral; and I don’t sec now hut that we three fellows can die under as favor able circumstances as we could expect, loot’s die hoys, and swear that the Democrats killed us—which I guess may he is the fact, figuratively speakiii Dave’Wood. PROFESSOR The Boston Journal of Chemistry says: While Darwin can “ever” the whole animal kingdom, man included, from a single low form of life, Agassiz con siders it necessary to assume separate creations for the different races of men; but we cannot see that either has yet made out his case. Agassiz calls the Darwinian theory “a mire of assertion.” What would Darwin-si*, of the fol lowing, which the Scieni^c Press, of San Incaneisoo, quote from^ireccnt'lcc WARS NOW GOlNU ON. -nave _ ^ peeificdifferences between' the honnl and nervous systems of the white man the and negro*. Indeed, their frames are alike in no particular. There is no. bone in the negroes hotly wbieli is re-1 lativcly of the same shape, size, artic ulation, or cliem!c.dly of the same composition as that of the white man. The negro's hones contain a far greater proportion of calcareoas salts than those of the white man. Even the negro’s blood is chemically a very dif ferent fluid from that which courses in the veins of the white man. The whole I’d agree to take a dozen of the liveliest “bills” that Job liatl, and give ltonds to treat them kindly, if he would take my place at the head of a family of one wife and eleven children, and live, as I do, in the same house with a newly married couple, who haven’t anything to do but love each other to death, and wonder whre in thunder all my children came from. Married folks generally, have more felicity on hand, to l>cgiu with, than they can use to good advantage, but a good deal of it gets pretty well worn out after a while, and' eight or ten pairs of -twins don’t often leave much more than can lie handled without getting into a very wet perspiration. But it’s more or less nggrivating to a veteran to witness the turtle-doving of two beginners, who have to carrv a piece of ice ahout them to keen their hearts from “combust ing.” I toll you I’d rather have “biles” than to be thus reminded of the time when I’d have lwt a cow that Tnhitha was nn angle, whose wings hadn’t sprouted, Til bet a cow row, that she’s no such thing ; and I’ll bet another cow that I should win the first one, if any stranger should holed by Tabitha’s first appearance to take the bet. Then again, Job was not a Repub lican nnd caught stealing from the peo ple. Job had “biles”—no one dis puling it—but lie didn’t have any Credit “Af»-“biters" to pain him, as I have, and as my friends, Colfax and Alley, have. I can’t speak for these t wo fellows—I don’t exactly know how they do feel; but as for myself, I might just as well say here ns anywhere, that I l>ore up under-the stealing first-rate, hut getting found out is what gives me the backache. Colfax and Alley have some outward signs of being unwell that I have, hut I don’t knowhow they feel at the pit of the stomach. .-I had the advantage of Job, somewhat, while 1 was serving my counter by getting up a Pacific Railroad, uniting in close communion the “rocky coast of the Atlantic with the golden shores of the Pacific.” That ojieration did not pain •»c a hit, you l>ct; and if Colfax nnd Alley i»ndu’t took ft into' their' heads ” vi >it the Trcasuttry Department, iV. cri » Ur tmited .patriotism was too n ay for the floors, which broke down ■ ;> et the r<op ,j money run out, wo don » S V s SR ^ht 'to-day.

This war has continued for some time, with varying success. At present there seems no hope of a decided victory by either army. II. The war between Cuba and the mother country. This struggle has continued -for years. It lias beeu pros ecuted with vigor on both sides and ferocity on one. The end is not yet III. The war between Russia and Khiva. The telegrams have informed us lately that Khiva was captured and the Khan conquered. Our morning dispatches contradict this rumor. Russia, though she will doubtless ulti mately be successful, will have to eam her conquest of the Khanate of Khiva by marching over the deserts of the Khan and fighting his soldiers. IV. The war between Captain Jack and his Modocs and the military power of the United States. This unequal struggle, unequal more especially ou the part of the United States, has continued for months. It lias cost us a brigadier-general of the array, a nnm- lier of officers of lower grades, and not a few non-commissiond officers and privates, not to mention the great cx- jx-nses of war in Dragon. Captain Jack, too, has lost, if the telegrams are to l>e believed, a number of redskins ual to more than double the number of his original force, unfortunately for us, without diminishing his ardor or lowering the cfficienty of his corps of sharpshooters. The Universal Peace Alliance has not yet, we regret to say, converted Captain Jack from the ends of his martial ways. Hine tila; lachry- »ue. V.

Tlie,war between Sir Samuel 1 Baker, and his forces and the slave-deal ers of the White Nile. Late dispatches show that the painful rumor of the death of this hardy explorer and ac complished wife has no truth in it. Sir Samuel is therefore now executing his mission in the very heart of Africa. To all these wars must be added the occasional coflicts that occur on tire hanks nf the Rio Grand between the Mexicans and the Texans; the chronic revolutions of Central and, South America; the difficulties'between the English in India and the wild tribes nn their northern frontier — difficulties finally to be settled only by force arms; and the internal struggles, lead ing to occasional bloodshed, in most countries of the world, not excepting our own. Peace nmy come, hut it has not come. —that is, in his bones, muscles, nerves, and fibres, the chimpanzee has not much farther to progress to become a white man. This fact science inex orably demonstrates. Climate has no more to do with the difference between the white man and the negro than it has with that between the negro and the chimpanzee, or it has between the horse and the ass, or the eagle and the owl. Each is a distinct and separate creation. The negro and the white man were created as specifically different as.thc owl and eagle. They were designed to fill different places in the system of nature. The negro is no more a negro by acci dent or misfortune than the owl is the kind of a bird he is by accident or mis fortune. The negro is no more the white man’s brother than the owl is the sister of the eagle, or the ass the brother of the horse. How stupendous, and yet how simple is the doctrine that the maker of the universe has created different species of men, just as He hag the different species of the tower animals, to fill different places and offices in the grand machinery of nature.” Despite the efforts of the Universal physical organization of the negro Hif- <laufjhter / of S hem and Ham, but of Peace Alliance, there arc now a num- fers quite asrnucli from the whiteman s | s fi an , ber of wars going on. Men have not as it does from that of the chimpanzee yet even begun to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning-hooks. We could wish that the Peace Alliance could* have its way, but unfortunately sec ns yet no sign of of such occurrence. There are now going on. I. An internecine war Medicines. me in my lava bed.

A Clergyman lately said that the modern young ladies wore not the TROTTING EXTRAORDINARY. Two Hundred Miles Hours, in Forty-five Burying Of The Law.—A great ceremony, called “The Burying of the ‘ the S Law,” lately took place in the Spanish Synagogue of Jerusalem. It happens once every eight or ten years, and is accompanied by the following circum stances:—There is in the “Talmud Torah” synagogue a subterranean cave, wherein every old leaf torn out from any holy book, every old worn-out Bible, Gemara and phylactery is de posited by all the Jewish inhabitants of every Minting. After eight or ten years, when the cave is full, these old papers and books ore brought out and made up iuto bales. This done, the people begin to assemble at a given time in the afternoon. A cosher (or faultless) Sepher Torah, richly- orna mented and jewelled, fa brought by the Chacham Bashi, and carried by him, #ud the other rabbis in turn, at the bead of the procession. Ho fa f’ol towed bv other rabbfa; next come the hales, abo ut seventy or eighty in num ber, each carried by a Jew ; and then the rest of the people. The procession slowly winds its way out of the front Zion gate for some distance along the city liill, and then descends into Ihe valley of Jehosaphat, where the burial ground is situated. Here is a very deep well, wherein the bales are thrown amidst the singingof the joyous crowd. On Wednesday and Thursday, the 14th and loth instants, the Driving Park at St. Paul, Minn., was the scene of nn extraordinary trot, Mr. Martin Delaney matching his sorrel mare (a small full-blooded Morgan) to trot 200 miles in forty-eight hours for the small stake of $200. The St. Paul Press says of the first day: The trot was commenced yesterday at twenty minuets past four a. m., Mr. J. Cummings holding the ribbons. The mare started out at a rate of more than ten miles an hour for the first two hours, and was gradually stowed to about an average 6ften miles an hour. At five minutes past ten she had completed the first fifty miles, making it in some five hours and for ty-five minutes. She was then given a rest of three hours and a half, and was started at a little past half-past one on the second fifty miles. At half-past seven she had completed it, having made the first hundred miles in fifteen hours, which leaves thirty-three hours for completion of the other hun dred. She made tho last mile of her first hundred yesterday, the fastest of any—five and one-half minutes. Those who witnessed the feat say that the mare showed no sign of fatigue, never sweat a hair, and trotted off to the sta ble to feed at the end of her day’s laltor as brisk as though she had just come from the barn. Of the second the same paper says: Wednesday the first 100 miles was completed, and at half-past seven o’clock the mare was driven to the stable apparently in as good condition as if she had only travelled one quarter of the distance. .Yesterday morning when taken out of the barn at five o’clock to complete the trot she seemed a little sore at first, hut soon wanned up and commenced her days’s work with won derful case. At ten o’clock she had completed thirty-one miles, aud was withdrawn until four minutes past twelve p. m. After this rest, in which she manifested no signs of weariness, she made her next seven miles in one hour and two minutes. Nopains were taken to keep a regular account of her rate of speed, but in general terms it averaged through the day about six minutes and five and one-half seconds per mile for the first fifty miles, and seven minutes nnd two and one-half seconds for the second fifty miles. Af ter the rest given the marc—from sev en until nine o’clock in the evening—all partieson the ground saw that she would make her 200 miles easily. She pur sued her even gait, and a few minutes past one o’clock this morning completed the race, making her last mile nine minutes and thirty-one seconds. Thus she won the wager, and in three hours less than the time given her. She trotted off the track seeming ly unconscious of the marvel she had performed. “Does hanging prevent murder?” asks an exchange.

Buffalo Bill was at Hartford, Con necticut, the other day, and while visit ing Colt’s armory, the large number of spectators who had assembled to see the famous«eout, desired Iiira to favor them with an exhibition of his skill'as a marksman. Bill gave the chew of tobacco in his mouth to a small hoy to keep warm, a small-piece of white pa per was put up on a barn do6r fifty rods distant, B. Wiliam seized a fine new rifle, spit on his hands and in the manner so often described by Ned Buntline, raised the rifle until bis nose rested,on the stock, fired, and a picket was knocked off from a fence ten feet to the left of the Iwrn. This rifle bar rel is crooked, said Bill, so saying he hit it over a stone to straighten it, then shot again, this time barking the shin of an old pie woman on his right flank. A third trial and he hit the barn fair in the centre, and the shout that arose the assemblage attesed the joy of the spectators.. AMARCOmi. A. S.

DAVIS, Chief l’olico, Athens, « W. A. Carlton’s ANTI-DYSPEPTIC TONIC A Western paper says they have discovered a petrified ham at San An dreas, Cal., sixty feet below the sur face. To what reflections does not this incident give rise? Was the ori ginal proprietor of that ham, when in an unsalted condition, corn-fed or oth- wise ? Was his life-blood shed in an antediluvian slaughter house, or did some primitive chawbocon spill bis por cine gore? What became of the re mainder of the animal? Where are (ho gpiperibs? Was aught of him con verted into oleaginous bacon and griz zled for the breakfast of an aborigine in the “vast void of the incalculable past,” over the burning embers of trees whose companions have long since turned into coal-beds, and did his curl ing tail suggest to any mind the possi- . v .. bility that it might be turned . iijto' a TlieSun having displayed thelikenes t in whistle ?
