In I 'aria the carpenters and masons have formed a society, the ebject of which is to prevent work in building on Sunday. A Baptist missionary in China writes home that what an American family throws away in a year would keep a dozen Chinese families; and what a Chinese family throws away in the same time would not feed a mouse. Recently ia Macon, Ga., a yoaDg man acted as godfather to the infant of a friend. The excitement of the occasion caused him to drop the infant into the baptismal font, making a Baptist of it instead of an Episcopalian. A woman was sentenced in an English court to six months' hard labor as a rogue and a vagabond, her crime being that she was in the habit of carrying a sealed and addressed envelope in her hand, and solicting from passers-by a penny to buy a postage stamp. A genius from the Wooden Nutmeg State has invented a clock in which there is a money drawer. Money ran be deposited at any time, but can only be removed during one day in a month. Another notion is in screwing the clock to its shelf so that it can only be removed when the drawer is open. Judge Scott, of Lumpkin, Ga., keeps a cow and a horse whose stalls are divided by a partition. Trying to reach some grain that wasin the horse's trough, the cow stuck her tongue through a crack in the partition, whereupon toe horse bit twoinchejoff the end of it. Tie cow is likely t3 die, for she can not eat s'me the accident. A young man in Athens, (ia., has a valuable diamond pin with a history, which he evidently isn't a-bamod of. His grandfather was a slave dealer, and one day saw a young wench wearing a diamond pin. He asked her where ?be ot it and what she'd take for it. She said she had picked it up in a street in Jlonteomery, Ala., and would trade it for a r-ti handkerchief. Whereupon the honorable Georgian gave the slave girl $' for it and baiidul it down to his admiring posterity. A 1'uffalo :v;?n was surprised the other morning when Le saw a very rich and very stingy citizen out on his lawn with a pan of crumbs feeding a big flock of sparrows. He at once decided that there was a soft spot in the old man's heart, and that he had been misjudged, and as he bid him "Good morning." said: "I see you are up early and engaged in a most humane and kind-hearted act. Feeding bread to the little birds, eh?" "Kind-hearted bed d!" answered the rich man. "I'm feeding the blamed things poison, d n 'em!"

"When not far from her destination she was bailed by a junk, all of whose crew seemed to be uaarmed, and were persistent in their et'orts to trade with the ship, which had slackened her pace by the wind falling. I"resently a number of armed junks swarmed up and began to attack the A nguste. The German crew had to aefend themselves vigorously. Five of the pirates were killed and several wounded. A smart breeze sprang np, and the Gercan vessel got away without loss. It is M.

At present more than ,Vi,(Kjn,0iio gallons are turned out, but not 1 per cent, of it is made from the grape, grain, cider, beet, potatoes, etc., forming its principal sources.

Ye,' said Columbus, 'if you will give me a ship.' So Le had a ship and sailed over the sea in the direction where he thought America ought to be found. The sailors quarreled, and after many days the pilot came to him and said: 'Columbus, I see land.' 'Then that is America,' said Columbus. When the ehip got near, the land was full of black men. Columbus said: 'Is this Ameaica." Yes, ft is,' said they. Then he said: 'I suppose you are niggers?1 'Yea, they said, 'we re.' The chiefsaid: 1 suppose you are Columbus? 'You are right,' said he.

Graham, th Wifa Muriarer, Pap tin Pm!i7 of 2j AtrocioM Cnna Masked Men Take IIi:n From the Jail at Spnogneii.', MUaourl, and With But Few Freliuimarlea Launched tlini Into Eternity. PiT.iM.nEi .r Mo., April 27. About 1:30 o'clock this morning a mot, estimated at from fifty In 100 men, rode into the city from the West, armed with shotguns and rifles, and halted on College street, opposite the jai', which contained George E. Graham, the wife murderer. All belated pedestrians who came in their way were ordered to throw up their hands and commanded to stand away from the street, which order wa3 readily complied with. Very soon knocking was heard at tae door of the SheriiTa place of residence, which is in the same building as the Court-house, part of which is used as a jail. There was the sound of iron and heavy implements rattling, and then there followed a comparative silence, broken only by an occasional order from the horsemen for spectators to stand back. In about twenty minutes then; was a confusion and bustling, which was caused by the taking of Graham from his cell and putting him in a wagon. Then there wa3 a command "All ready, go," and the procession, consisting ot the wagon containing Graham and guards, with horsemen in front and rear, proceeded through the square and north on Boonville street. A considerable crowd of people followed, but were ordered to stand back at the peril of their lives. They still persisted in following, irany of them exclaiming: "We want to help you." "We want to look on, etc." By this time it was nearly 2 o'clock. The mob proceeded with Graham to the northwest part of the city, where there is a grove, beyond the woolen mills, and stopped at the first suitable tree they came to. As to what Graham said while on the wagon nothing :'3 known, but spectators were noar enough to hear the mob ask Graham if he wished to make a confession. He said: "Gentlemen, you all want me to tell the truth." There was a chorus of loud answers in the affirmative from all. He then said that Mrs. Emma Molloy and Cora Lee knew nothing of the murder ef Sarah Graham until February '.". This was the date of the discovery of her body in the well. lie was asked if he wished to make any prayer, and replied: "No, ; d n it, I'm not afraid." Some oüe offered a brief prayer, after whi h the rope was pat over tVe limb of the tree and his body hauled up. He made no entreaties J.r them tospare him, but went to his death coolly, and died apparently without a struggle. In a short time his breath bad lied. Th mob and spectators then dispersed in all directions. The following notice was pinned to his body: "Arbitrary Xotice. When the Coroner is iu possession of this paper, George E. Graham will be dead, and as little puui.hui'at will Iwtvo been inflicted a- if he had been handed by le?al authority. It is a matter of right to the coiumuaity and justice to humanity taat we. the 'Three Hundred.' ignore the law in this instance.

"To Sheriff Donneli: 'Keep your ino-.ittit.hut if yon recognized any of us, or you will die the death of a do;?.' " Mierin" Donnell tells the following tory: "I Aas in bed asleep when they came. Ever since tiraham has been in jail for the murder I have had a guard who comes on at midnight and remains until daylight, while I remain up until midnight myself. This euard is II. W. Douglas. He was up when the mob came. The first thing I knew I heard them coming in, and as soon as I could jump out of bed and put on my pants they were passing into the room, holding Dcuglas tight and fast. Two big fellows ami they were big ones, too grabbed my hands, while two others caught me behind. I never saw so many shotguns and navies before in my life, and they handled theru in a way that was too careless for comfort. All the men wore cloth maiks. One of them said : "I want the keys." "I haven't got them." I replied. "There is no use of Wmg foolish about the business," said the masked party. "We are friends, but we want Graham, and we are going to have him." "Then they went to the bureau drawer, where I kept the keys, but it was locked. They took the key to the drawer from my wife, and then opening the drawer they took out a bunch of keys, and leaving two men to guard rce, they took Douglas out with them and went back to the jail. I suppose they were gone about five minutes, and when they came back Douglas came in and gave me the keys. I didn't see Graham when tbey look him out. I should think there were twenty-five in the room. When they were ready to leave they released me and skipped." " ramam'ü conffsiox. Following are the main points of Graham's coniVsion, which caused the lynching this rooming. The confession was made February 2: I walked with her down to the Gulf Depot, and again tried to induce her to go up to Kansas City. 1 could do nothing with her, and I started to walk ont to the Molloy farm. I thought she would surely never attempt to walk the five miles that night, but she followed right after me. I left the Gulf Depot about 8:30 or! o'clock p. rn., and walked the entire distance to the farm. It was probably 1 :o0 R. m. Thursday, October 1, when the farm pasture gate was reached. At this point I stopped and said: "Now, Sarah, I am just on the edge of the farm, and you must not go np there. It would tear up everything and could do you no possible good." Still she protested that she would go up to , the house wl eleu Cora out. I had picked.

op a stick and wi whittling with a knife, the biade of which was one and a half inches long. She Lad a email limn in her hand, and whro she w so vehemeutly insisting that ate would go n r tar the house and clear things out, I reroipded l.er of a liaison she was engaged iu at Elgin. 111. This so angered her t bat she struck at me with the limb she held in her band. I threw up my hand to ward off the b'.ow, and the knife struck her in the left side of the throat. She screamed, out that I had killed her. 7 grasped her and threw her from me and she fell violently to the ground. I leaned over her and found the blood was flowing profusely from the wound in the neck. I knew then that it was all up with me sooner or later for I believed "murder will out." I oushed the knife into the wound to its full length and then considered a long time what disposition to make of the body. I was almost paralyzed that the deed had been done, and the moment afterward would have given the world to recall it. I then undressed the lody and carried it the well and dropced it in, without a thought that the clothing would have been as secure from observation there as elsewhere. I dropped the clothing in after the body. By this time the moon had just ruerj. 1 sat by the well and pondered over the matter until the first signs of daylight began to appear, when I walked out on the road again and walked up the hill and past the house about 100 leet. I then turned and came back to the house, approaching from the Dorchester side, and stepped to the west bed-room window, where Cora and Ella Molloy were sleeping together.

ANOTHER LYNCHING. Horrible lenth of a Ilmtal Murderer at the Hands of an Infuriated Mob. Kansas Citt, April 27. The Times' Topeka, Kas.. special says: Last Saturday the wife of Jacob Freimuth, a homesteader in Seward County, was cruelly murdered and outraged by Fritz Eupin, a half-witted German, who wa3 dragged to death later. Ilupin had been for some time enjoying the hospitality of the Freimuths. He was homeless and without friends, and they had taken him in until he could find work. On the day mentioned, during the temporary absence of his benefactor, Ilupin overpowered his benefactress and brutally outraged her person. Not content with this, he bound the lady hand and foot and cut her throat from ear to ear. The brute then secured an old rusty hoe, and while the woman was yet writhing in the death struggle he disemboweled her with the blunt instrument. When discovered her unborn babe lay a few feet from the body of the mother, cut in two. Mr. Freimuth returned Sunday, and when he discovered the mutilated body of his wife he became a raving maniac. A neighbor in that sparsely settled region happened to be passing that way shortly after 1-' o'clock, and found him wild with fren.y, but dared not approach for fear of hU personal safety. He rode rapidly to a settlement some eight miles distant and told the terrible tale. A party was at once organized, and returned to the scene of the outrage and found Freimuth weltering in his own blood. He had killed himself with a shotgun. A grave was dusr ana the remains of the unfortunate people were buiied. The posse then set out to scour the country for the murderer, and found hint secreted in a small ravine several miles away from the scene of his diabolical crime near the Cimarron liiver. Some speculation was indulged in as to the proper method of ridding the world of him, but not much time was consumed in deliberating. A fractious and spirited horse was secured and saddled. One end of the long lariat was then fas-tened around his neck and the other extremity was attached to the pommel of the saddle. The horse was started and amid the shouting cf the men and crack of revolvers ritles, the frightened aniaial tore madly away. After a run of nearly rive miles the beast fell exhausted, and the lifeless body of the murderer was loosened as soon as the men came up. The rope had drawn so tight that b:s head was almost t eve red from the body. The features showed that he had died a terrible death. The body was left lying on the prairie, uncovered.

The Baptists are about to commence the erection of a theological school at Louisville, Ky , which will be the largest school of that denomination in the world. At a Methodist conference in Philadelphia the fact was brought out that many preachers of that church receive only $:;ito per year salary, and that the average is not over $."00. Tie statistics of the order of the Jesuits show that it counts 2..100 missionaries, 21-S saints, l.oO martyrs, I.l popes, (K) cardinals, 4,0u archbishops and bishops, and i,000 authors.

J., is the right sort of a man. He tracked a lot of his parishioners up a back alley into a tavern on Sunday night, walked in, planted his broad back aeainst the door, took out his pencil and paper, and noted the astonished parties as they jumped through the windows, tasted the unfinished drinks at the bar that he might swear to thiir quality, and walked out. Such a man is a whole law and order society in himself. There is trouble in the, Congregational church at Woodhaven, L. I., over the action of the trustees in stopping ait entertainment which had been arranged to be held in the church. The Ladies' Aid society connected with the church made arrangements with a single teacher to give a concert for the benefit of the society, and they obtained permission from one of the trustees to use the church. After the services on Sunday evening last the trustees held a meeting, and on one of their number representing that the proposed entertainment was of a theatrical nature they refused to permit its being held. Now the ladies threat a to leave the church unless the matter ia adjusted and the trusts make n C9aces3i93,

A. PAINLESS LYNCHING.

Graham, th.a Springfield Harderer, Twk Morphine Bafora Qsittiag thj Priiw. He Filled Di Slonth With Tobacco that Had Iteen saturated With the Liquid. (Special to later Oreaa.l Srr.txt.iiKLr, Mo., April 23. The remains of George E. Graham were given an ignominious interment to-day. They were placed in pine coffin, pnt in an ordinary delivery wagon, and with no other attendant than the driver were taken to the county burial ground and hidden from view in a shallow grave in the potters field. It was a desolate consignment of the remains of a human being, but remembering the cowardly and heartless burial which he gave hia wife, the community has no regrets to offer for the almost brutal distortion of the body of the intellectually brilliant wretch whose villainy has for two months past been the talk of the continent. An interesting and startling incident has come to light relative to the manner of Graham's death. When his cell was invaded on Monday night and he was informed by by the vigilants that they were not playing a game of bluff, he asked tobe permitted to take a chew of tobacco before his hands were tied, and they consented, and reaching beneath the pillow on his bunk he drew forth a piece of navy about two inches square, and with his teeth tore off half of it. entirely tilling his mouth. It ha3 now developed that this tobacco was SATTRATEI) WITH MORPHINE, and that the trick was not discovered by the four masked men who were with him in the wagon until Le was so completely under its ictluence as to be almost unconscious. This was the cause of the hurried stopping at the outskirts of the city instead of continuing to the McCoy farm, three miies distant, which was understood to be the destination when the mob left the jail. It is also now quite certain that Graham made no statement beneath the ree. Douglas?, the ja'l guard who testified at the inquest, states that he did not hear the remarks attributed to Graham, but was told that lie said so by one of the lynchers. Mr. Molloy SpeaK. Special to Cbieigo Times. SrKix(.FiKi.i), Mo., April 2,. The Times correspondent had a two-hotiM interview with Mrs. Mollov this morning. "I can not," she said, "say anything that would be of interest to the public concerning the lynching. I have not a word of sympathy for Graham's crime, but deplore mob violence. No citizen's life is safe where it prevails. Citizens of Green County whose record is spotless have been threatened in this case solely for refusing to believe me guilty." Whil? at Judire Baker's the correspondent learned that the report that Cora is enceinte is true. "A r.tob," said Mrs. Molloy, "is apt to do anything, but surely they will not sacrifice two lives by gratifying their demoniacal fury against Cora. I want my friends in Illinois to have patience. At tlie proper time all will be made clear. I have withheld any statement to avoid piecipitat ing the tragedy which came Monday night anyway. I have no more to say concerning the lynching.'' Mrs. Molloy left at 10 o'clock for Bolivar, where she will attend Cora, who is suffering with typhoid fever. Instead of receiving the news of Graham's death with indifference, as reported, Cora exclaimed: "My God: my (Jod: is it true?" and threw her hands in the air and fell senseless to the floor. Graham's ante-mortem statement is already having its effect, and the tide is turning slowly in Mrs, Molloy's and Cora's favor. A Prion 1' ha plain's Opinion. Many who look with a careles eye may pronounce the work all in vaiu, that labor with criminals is useless and that conversions to a better life are only a pretense. But I know better. I have had too many proofs to the contrary. I have stood upon the scaffold and seen an innocent man sutler Ihe doom of the wicked, with the protest of his innocence upon his lips to the last moment and the declaration of his trust in the truths of Christianity. Newspapers might scotf at the pretended repentance, Or.t 1 ai profoundly impressed, and still more so when years later the real murderer confessed his guilr. An incident occurs to me, that happened many years ago. which illuv ira'es at once the liability of the law to err, and the reality of certain of thesi conversions. A young man connected with one of tlie best luinilies of tjuincy had in early years been left an orphan, and wheu about fifteen years old got Into very bad company, tine morning a young woman, a daughter of high.y repectable people, but later notorious for her bad character, was found murdered in her bed, her head horribly crushed in and a sum of money, which she was known to have possessed, gone. The suspicioa of guilt fastened upon the young man, who was her intimate, who had passed part of the night of the murder with her, and who, when arrested, had a large sum of money on his person, and who otherwise had the appearance of the guilty one. The affair created immense excitement. it was thought that the boy would be dpalt with more leniently if he should plead guilty, and his counsel and his uncle fairly implored him to do so. But he steadfastly refused, all the time protesting his innocence. SKNTESCEI FOR LIFE. "However, he was prevailed upon, in the hope of getting a light sentence. Never will I iorget the blaze ot indignation that shone from the boy's eyes when Judge Sibley slowly pronounced the sentence, which "was imprisonment for life. He sprang to his fet and cried: " 'I will never, never forgive those who told me to plead in that way, for I am iuno;ent in the sight of God of tbis crime with which they charge me! They have done me a cruel injury.' " I am quite sure that even before this the boy had accepted the truths of Christianity as the only solace in those dreadful hours of affliction. With the consciousness of his innocence and the wrong done him and only the piomises of the Gospel lor comfort, young entered the prison at Joliet, and in the ten years that he lived iu that gloomy abode laid the foundations of a tiae manhood. There came to light good evidence that the real murderer was another person altogether, and Governor Cullom's pardon came forthwith. My young friend left the prison on Christmas day, and immediately went to California, where he became respected and prosperous. His prison experience was the making of him.. ANOTHER CASK. "There was another, more stubborn case, and with a less happy issue. A man had been found guilty of murder by the jury's verdict. 1 was with him a great deal, and tinally he professed Christianity. I attended him to the last day. I even mounted the scaffold with him and gave him what Christian comfort I could. To the last moment lie protested his innocence. I saw the cap Irawn over his eyes, saw the rope pulled, and in a moment saw his lifeless trunk swing in the air. He had left me a legacy, his body, to prevent its going to the doctors for dissection. I think he met his death a true Christian. Yeais afterward his nephew confessed having committed the crime for which his uncle had autlered. I could relate to yon numberless incidents to show you that these conversions have really taken place. These spectacles that I wear were a present o me from a Jew, whom I had once befriended when he was in jail. He took great comfort in praying with me, Jew as he was. In after years he sent me these spectacles, which are elegant, you see, much more expensive than I would have purchased for myself, I have since T&ted him la

Chicago, where he baa a genteel home, a handsome wife and a pretty little girt. The only other article of finery about my persoi is this handsomely mounted cane. It wm the gift to me of an engraver who had be;n convicted of some felony. The man had been an . incorrigible drunkard but be m&i converted lo Christianity in prison, and his after life showed that be had completely reformed.' He became a prominent temperance worker, a director of a Young Men's Christian association, and a respected man in the community. . BEWARIS OF THE LABOR. "I am all the time getting letters and testimonials from those wbo were once criminals, bnt who whife in jail learned to lea l a belter life through belief in Jesus Christ. I am well aware that many profess a quickening of the spirit who are in no way toached. They hope for many little favors, for intercession in their behalf, etc., and all this is a great inducement to a show of repentance. But though we are frequently deceived we are not discouraged. The effort is well worth the while. I preach to the prisoners every isunday. But I find I am able to accomplish a great deal by private conversation. They all know me, and I really think many of them have a warm regard for me. I woald r.ot in any degree excuse or palitate crime. I am well aware that though mistakes are sometimes made, in the majority of iustances the man who is shut in by prison bars simply suffers the penalty of what he might have avoided, had he wished. 'The way of the transgressor is hard, is ever true to my mind. And it ought to be hard. But the only object of punishment is not to inflict physical discomfort. Banishment should be in some degree reform. If .that can be brought about, so much the better. If the unfortunate criminal can be made to psrceive that a pure way of living is also more happy, then will his dark prison experience be a real blessing to him."

THE TERRIBLE TARANTULA. A Texas Fhyoician Who Hat Found a Certain Cure for the Heretofore 1'atHl Itite. Dallas. Tex., Special. 1 The State Medical Convention, which has been in session three days, adjourns to-morrow. The attendance was full and the proceedings of the usual routine sort, embracing discussions of local medical advancement and professional interests. The most re mark -able pa rer read was one by Dr. Brigg, of Fort Worth, who cited a case of a patient who was bitten by the deadly Texas tarantula, and was cured by Dr. Briggs by theaoplication of a liquid made from the bugle weed. He said: "My attention was first called to this plant by Dr. W. H. Cooke, of Boaham, Texas , who received his information from the remnant of the Cherokee Indians left in the mountains of North Carolina and East Tennessee. Any one wlio has attended the fairs and other gatherings held throuzhout Georgia, Teunessee and Kansas during the egress of the Indians from that country doubtless remember that on such occasions there were many Indians who would with impunity allow the poisonous rattle-snake to bite them. It wan observed that in order to counteract the effects of the ioisonious reptile they masticated large quantitiesof bugle weed and swallowed the juice. That the bugle weed was the identical weed used at the time I have absolute proof. I am not aware that there is any literature upon this valuable plant outside of a vague and indefinite account in the United States Disensatory and in the more recent editions it is numbered among the unofticials. Having investigated so far as lay in my power the history of the plant, I procured it and made use of it at the first opportunity." The case has excited great interest, and now the terror of scorpions, tarautulas and centipedes is no more. The Hendricks Monument. Chicago Timet of Yesterday. Judge J. A. Holrnaii, of Indianapolis, Ind.. was at the Palmer House yesterday. Judge Holman is the Secretary of the Hendricks Monument Committee, of Indiana. He stated yesterday that the prospects of receiving sufficient subscriptions for the monument were decidedly promising. There had already been received a large number of small subscriptions, which would asgregite a la rce sum, and the various organizations which have had charge of subscriptions will swell the amount consideracly. He thought the committee Would not adhere to its original design of closing the subscription, books on May 1. as there were a number of cities interested in the work of collecting, which were somewhat late in getting started, and would probably desire more time. At present, he thought, there was between $2"i,Ouo and $v,000 promised, and guarantees which would increase the total sum far beyond the latter amount. The committee desired to collect at least ?100.000, if possible, but would not allow the matter to drag along for an indefinite period if there seemed to be anv difficulty in reaching that amount, fndiana. Missouri and Kentucky had b?en very active in the movement, and Washington City, with its two working committees, had done most excellently. He was particularly please 1 with the fact that a majority of the suscriptions came from the working people, and though small in individual amounts, gave ample evidence of the regard in which Mr. Hendricks was held by those for whom he labored most. The total number of subscribers thui far was about 25,000, and while there were several gentlemen who had given $1,00, the majority of the sums subscribed were not over twenty-five or fifty cents. W. W.Corcoran, of Washington, gave $-"oo, and Senator l'avne, of Ohio, had put himself down for $100. As far äs Chicago was concerned, Judge Hoiman had no fears of excellent results. With such men as Melville E. Fuller, S. S. Gregory, Charles Kern, Erkine M. 1'helps, and other representative citizens, a good return must certainly be received by the committee. Of course the serious illness of Mr. Gregory, President of the Iroquois Club, had tended to delay matters somewhat, but Chicago, he thought, would be most satisfactorily heard from when the time came. No attempt had yet been made to secure designs, and no definite idea of a design had been considered by the committee. There was no doubt, however, that funds enough would be raised to build such a monument as would be a credit to the State and a fitting tribute to one of the foremost men of the age.

My father as quickly answered: 'What would .be the result of an earthquake shock? Booth gazed steadily into my lathers face a second, and, turning about with a courteous "Goodday, gentlemen,' passed up Tenth street toward the theater.

Because, Galignani explains, he once paid court to two married women and promised each that he would marry her when she became a widow. Curious fate soon after removed both husbands simultaneously, and Liszt found himself in a roost embanassing situation, to get out of which he ran away to Borne, and through his friend Cardinal Hohenlohe he got admitted to holy orders.

The Future of the Colered Ititce.

Sleeping on the dirt floor of a Blave cabin in iLfan:y, cold on one side and warm on the other: a' torced circulation on one side and a chilled and retarded circulation on the other, it has come to pass that he has not the vertical bearing of a perfect man. Mr. Douglas thinks that this lack of symmetry creates a resistance to the progress which cannot well be over-estimated, and that we should not measure the negro from the heights that the white race has attained but from the depths from which he has come. Such men as Burke, Grattau, Curran and O'ConDell, he says, come of comfortable antecedents and sound parents, not from the oppressed and famished poor of the faminestricken districts of Ireland. Mr. Douglas writes that he ha often feared a wholesale massacre of the negro race, but that these fears have decreased since the negro has d.sappeared from the arena of Southern politics. j The kernel of his article is contained in these words: "My strongest conviction as to the future of the negro is that he will not be expatriated nor annihilated, nor will he remain forever a separate and distinct race from the people around him, but that he will be absorbed, assimilated and will appear finally, as the Fbcunicians now appear on the shores of the Shannon, in the features q a blended race."
