MARCH OF THE WHITE MAN
HE IS FAST BECOMING THE MASTER OF
THIS GLOBE.
Among the Btile uoticed but
most important factsin the history
of ibe world is the enormous red
eem increase in the number o/'
white men in it. It is barely tvo
centuries (.1683) since those races,
thongh even then he most ener
getic of mar kit'd, formed but a
small fraction in the total humau
itj —probably 10 per cent, of the
whole—and we;e by no means
certain that they could defeud
themselves against the remain del-
Thestrean of Asiatic conquest

coast fringe of India ; Africa be

in the light of subsequent history,
their conquests were incredibly

rible and even formidable events-
Evon a hundred years later the
white people, though under the
operation of the still unexplained
law which at cne time fosters and
at another time restricts the
gaowth of ape pie, were increas
ing slowly, and were still only a
hundred and fifty millions, or prob
ably a seventh of the population
of the gl>be. They had, indeed,
annexed /he . two Americas and
Northern Asia, thus quintupling
the area of their estate upun the
planet; and probably nml iplying
tlmir fixed W9altb by at least tweu
ty-fola—a counfry being always
the largest item in tbe wealth ol
any race or nation—but tuey had
only begun to settle in tbe Wes
tern continent; they had but com
menced to conquer in Sout eru
Asia; they bad visited, but not
occupied, Australis, and iu East
ern Europe and Western Asia they
were only slaves’ to au Asiatic
horde. * The century, however*
ending in 1884 has ueen marked
by an advance si rapid aud so un
broken as to be scarcely credible
aud present one of the most start
ling facta in history. The white
races in and out of Europe, under
the influence of some si ill rnyste
rious call their energies,
have multiplied nearly threefold
aud are to-day, a 3 Mr- R. Gifftnbas
shown in his receut address to the
sialistical society, 420,000,000.
As there is no evidence of any
corresponding increase in iLe
dark races, aud as, iudee t, such
increase has been, outside India,
nearly impossible, the white men
are now, by the best calculations,
one third of the entire population
of the world, instead of being, as
they were only two centuiies sgo,
a lutle more than 10 per cent-
They have, moreover, if auy Ipug
iucreaseu iu physical strength, and
have so developed in brain and
consequent power of organization)
that if may be doub/ed if he whole
remainder of maukied, even if all
were reduced to eaqual weapous,
conld seriously injure the white
third, which, again, if it choose to
ac. together and employ without
pity the weapons its inteligence
has enabled it to cons ruct, could’
;n a few years reduce the remain-,
der of ihe world to an unin habited
desert. Except in the South Pa
cific. where by one means or aD
other, they kill out the darker
men, the white races show no ten
dency of that kind—though, we
take it, in the dawn of history they
exterminated pretty freely, espe
cially in India—but they do show
a strong disposition to take pos
aession of the whole earth and
govern it as they please, The
Chinese are the only great race
remaining which can be said to be
truly independent aud free from
the predominating influence, more
or less directly exercised, of the
energetic white men, who pour ia
increasing streams over the re
mainder of tin earth s surface.
The Chinese keep a few ships, and
a few i mall vessels manned by
daik sailors, mostly p>ra es or

sively occupy Europe, except Ihe

almcst silently, certainly without

Niger, and the still moie exten
sive region drained by the system
of rivers called the Congo. Nor
is there much reason to believe
that th process willsooD be check
ed, for the white men aro urged
forward by an iiresstible spur
over which they have no control.
The increase of tt e yellow race,
which musi once have been so in
credibly fast, has stopped, aud
ihat of the dark races of India,
which for a century has been amaz
ing, is being checked by recurrent
famines; Avbnt that of the white
peoples goes on so fast that the
transport of a hugh army ever;
year across the Atlantic makes an
impression on their numbers And
at their present rate of increase
they will in li)84 be a thousand
millions, or much more than half
of them existing mankind. The
Chinese have recently shown some
resisting power; the English have
appearautly —it may prove only
appearantly—halted, indecisive,
in tLeir march up the Nile, but
the general movement sweeps ever
forward, and within the Centuiy
in seems more that. probably thut
every corner of the earth will be

perceived them to be, will be the

A GRAVEYARD STORY.
A physician who practiced in
tbiH country long years ago was ap
plied to by likely young man for
instruction in mxteria me.lioa. Tbe
young man became a medioal B'u
dent. Not long after he began a
person died of a strange affection
aud the docor being desirous of
investigating the disease said to
h}s embryo Esculapius . “Look
here, , suppose wt go to
the grave 10-uignt and get that
body ; you'll never have a better
chakce to ltarn something about
anatomy ?” Tho youug man was
agreed. They weut to the burial
ground under cover of darkness.
The doctor stcod oft’some twenty
yards from the newly made grave
to keep a lookout aui his compan
ion dug. The bodyiseeker had
rerched the lower part of the grave
aid his work, was almost done.
But on nearing the coffin of tbe
la‘e deceased he swerved a little
from bis course and penetrated
ihe coffin of a grave wLioh was
asperated by only a thin wall of
clay from tbe one he had intended
to rob, The body in the aid grave
had been with its Mother Earth
; just long enough for the different
! elements to be ready to make an
exposition of wonderful properties
•As the pick struck ihe old grave
the phosphorus that had accuinu-
lated wth accompanying decay
became ignited and a great light
enveloped the grave and Ihe dark
ness of mgbt was turned into the
hideousness of a terrible light.
The scene of operations was vaca
ted ; the jouug man fled in nil
haste ;he ruthed past the watch
ful M. D. and the last the latter
heard of him he was tearing
through the undergrowth and
falling over logs as he ran from
the scene of terror. After he
had closed the grave the doctor
went to his office. Id front of it
sal the studeui still panting from
hiß flight. "Doe or if you waut
at y more medicine studied you
must get somebody else to study
it.” TLe physiciuu attempted to
explatr the occurrence, but no in

A TERRIBLE VENDETTA
There has been au old sued beg
tween the tiordoua and Crawfoids
in Morgau county, which resuite l
•u the death of Calvin Gordon on
Tuesday evening. It seems that
old man Richard Gordon, the futh
er of the man killed and uo'ary
public of Wellington District in
Morgan county, presented Henry
Ciawford for carrying couceuled
werpons. Then Crawford to get
revenge tried to have the lines of
the district so changed as to cut
Richard Gordon oft into another
distiict. This brought about the
trouble that caused thedcateof
Calvin Gordon. Both pat tied met
in Aladison, and both parties had
their crowds with tuetn. They tried
to get up a row in Madison The
Crawford party to avoid a difficulty
went a different rente I ome, and
the Gerdon party coming up with
them laughed at the Crawford par
ty for tryinh to avoid a difficulty.
Old man Richard Gordon, told the
Crawford party that it had to be
settled a/ once. Borne one of the
Gordon party cursed old nun
Rooks of the Crawford party, and
young Rooks knocked Mam Got
don down for cursing his father,
and this started the row. Henry
Crawford 'hd nov seem to have
much to do with the fuss. When
he taw Calvin Borden in the act of
Atricking his brother, he tired
across the wagon, shoo ing Calvin
Gordon just above the left eye.
The killing occured about 8 milts
north of MudiHon. The wounded
man was brogght to Dr. Anderson
and physicians sent for, but to no
purpose the ball had done its dead

SWORD CANES FOR LADIES.

“1 guess I'll have to lay in a uew
stock of sword canes,” saida Ninth
street dealer in walking B'icks yes
terday. “That lady took '.he last
one I hud.”
“Do lathes buy swoid canes ?’•
we asked.
“I o they ! Well, I should say
so. Youncr lady ftrtists are heavy
customers iu them. Yon sea they
goaboiit the country sketching
and painting, and they want some

“.Ire you sure they light cows

“That’s what they say, but 1
doub/ it. Between you and me, if

A BOYS GRIEVANCE
•
What ails you?” asked a polices
man of a boy on Fort steel, eas
who und a rock iu bis hand,
was menacing a woman in a doo
yttrd.
Look a here, ” answered the boy
as he arooped the stone und sat
down on the horse block, she.s
been decieving me in ttie awfuiest
manner
“ How/"
.She,s my motuei- Pap died
two yeais ago, and wo’ve neve been
up to see bis grave juice. Every
week she’s promised to lake up
on Sunday she's said to me:
“ ‘Never mind, sonny, We caul
go to-d .y dut your pap's grave
won't run away, all the same. He
lis there to stay.’’
“That’s kind o’ unfeeling like,”
reinurkod the officer.
“You bei it is, but it don't be
gin with what she said und done.
She lock off mourning aud negaa
lo drink lemonade and chew gum
mside of three mouths, an t she
keeps speaking of Limas the late
deceased. Last Sunday 1 wanted
io go up and put some pansies
on pap’s grave, but she gin rnt a
clip on i ho ta. aud said ;
“ ‘Your’paps grave be hanged !
I had to wash for six shillings a
day -'o buy his tobacco, and whia-i
key and and I'll pansy you if you
don’t quit your pestering. ’
“I don’t say pap was perfection,
but I do blame mam for fee'iug
kinder gay over ii.”
“Will sho marry again asked
the officer in a cautious voice.
“(Till she! She’s dying So !
She’s on track of five or six diff
erent men, and she’ll run some of
’em down onless Ihey jump the
town. I guess /hat's why she
don’t warn to hear about pap’s
grave. Jus/ afore you come along
I says to her :
‘Main, its a beautiful day let’s
you aud lgo up und see if anybody
has put a sunflower ou paps grave
“Aud she whte'ed on me and
yelled out ;
“ ‘Pap’s grave again ! Alus
paps grave '. I’ll have a pap around
in about a fortnight who’ll wal
lop pap’s grave out of you, if it
takes a leg.’ ”
“Humph !” said the officer.
“And so,” said the boy as he
slowly counted ihe the five cop
pers out of his vest pocket, I
guess I’ll skip. 1 guess I’ll go
to Arozoua aud become a stage
robber I’llleiruto shoot wiih
both hands and I’ll rob everybody
snd when I get -rich I’ll come
back bere and take that second
husband and mop him all over
pap's grave aud pound him to a
