" Adam's liinry." TRANSLATED BY MARK| TWAIN " Adam's Diary "is Mark Twain*! latest production, It appears in the April number of Harper's Magazine. Here are some extracts from the Diary, " translated from the original MS;" they refer to Eve's doings soon after her arrival in Eden, which is located in the neighbourhood of tbe Niagara Palls :— Monday-—Thia new creature with tbe long hair is a good deal m the way. It is always hanging around and fol lowing trie about. I don't like this, I am not used to company, I wish it would stay with the other aninoaU. Oloady to-day, wind Id the east; think we shall have rain. We 1 Where did I get that word 1 I remember now —the new creature uses it. Wednesday— Built me a shelter against the rain, but could not bave it to myself in peace. The new creature intruded, When I tried to pot it out it ahed water cub of the holes it looks with, and wiped it away with the hack of itH paws, *nd made a nowe each an some of the other animals make when they are in distress. I with it would not talk ; it is always talking. That sounds like a cheip fling at the poor creature, a slur , but I do not mean it so. I have never heard the human voice before, and any new and strange eound intruding itself here upon the solemn haeh of these dream ing solitudes offends my tar and seems a false note. SATUEDAY-~The new creature eatf too much fruit, We are going to run short, most likely. 'We' again—that is its word ; no in c, too, now, from hearing it so much. Good deal of fog this morning, Ido not go out in the fog myself* Tbe new creature does. It goes out in all weathers, and stumps right in with its muddy feet. And talks. It ased to be so pleasant and quiet here Sunday—Pulled through. This d»y is getting to be more and more trying. llt was selected and set apart last November as a day of rest. I tlready had six of them per week, before* Thii morning found the new creature try ing to clod apples out of that forbidden tree Monday—-The new creature says its name is Eve. That is all right. I bave no objections. Says it is to call it by when I want ie to come. I said it .was superfluous, then, The word evidently raised me in its respect; and indeed ifc is a large, good word, and will bear repetition. It says it is not an It, it is a She Saturday—-I escaped last Tuesday night, and travelled two days, and built me another shelter, in a secluded place, and obliterated nay tracks as well as I could, but she hunted me out by means of a beast which she bus tamed and calls a wolf, and came making that pitiful noiue again, and shedding that water out of the places she looks with. I was obliged to return with her, but will presently emigrate again, when occasion oilers. Sunday.—-Pulled through, Monday.—-I believe J see what the week is for, it is to give. time to rest up from the weariness of Sunday; It seems a good idea. She has been climbing that tree again. Clodded her out of it.' Bhe said nobody was looking. £eems to consider that a sufficient jasti* ficatiou for chancing any dangerous thing. Told her that, The word justi fication moved her admiration—and envy, too, I thought. It is • good word. Tuesday-—She has taken up with a snake now. The other animals are glad, for she was always experiment ing with them and bothering them; and I am glad, because the snake talks, and this enables me to get a rest. Ten Years Datbb—After all those years I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her, than inside it without her. At first I thought she talked too much, but now I should be sorry to have that voice fall silent and pass out of my life, Blessed be the chestnut that brought us near together and taught me to know the goodness of her heart and the sweetness of her spirit. The Negro Must Go ♦ The only resolution of the vexing race problem in the South is the ex pulsion of the black man. There is one resolution, and bat one. Cold and cruel as it may seem, the negro muse go. If not by voluntarily, then by force. His presence here is a perpetual menace. It keeps out immigration and capital. It engenders bad blood between North and South. It keeps alive bitter memories. An unnamed fear kills every Southern heart, and unnameable dread darkens every Sen them home. Go he must. Better for black man, better for white man.— Morgan ton Herald Bandbb & Sons Eucalypti Extract,— Under the distinguished patronage of Hia Majesty the King of Italy, awarded Diploma at the International Exhibition, Amsterdam, acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Uni vemtiea all over the globe.
