TIMES CHANGE AND FAHSIONS
ALSO.

In a lecture delivered some two or
three years ego by The Hon. Mr.. Sur
get, OF Boston, on trade and fiuances, he
referred 10 the singular changes of FASH
ion. Nankeens SAID he, were once i'm
ported in large quantities. AS late as
1890 there was one million Of dollars
worth imported; now there is none. In
1906 Canton Grape was first used; 10
1910 ten cases were imported; in 1916
there were 2l 900 pieces; in 1926 the
mportaIion amounted to million and
a half OF dollars; and ia 1874 the article
was not imported! Yet the country has
ost nothing by this caprice of fashion,
as our fair country.women appear as
lovely in ninepenny Lowell calico as in
Canton Grape. Silk was once imported
10 large quantities from China, cargo
of nearly y million dollars worth once
was landed in this country, and now The
whole yearly important from China a.
mounts 10 less than Sloo 900. Great
changes have also taken place in regard
10 the pay of our Chinese Imporiaut;ons.
ln ISIS, $1,000, 600 in specie wei car
ried 10 China, but now our purchases al e
paid for in bills of exchange on Eng.
land, from the proceeds of the opium
'rsde. The Fur trade was commenced
IN 1857, and in 1909 there were fifteen
American vessels engaged in it. and
now it has ceased altogether. These
in fashion and in trade show
The utter impossibilly Of having what
may be called permanent tariff, afford
ing stability 10 The duty imposed when
in fact The high duty OF to-day may re-
quire radical change tomorrow, Eve

MURDER AND CANNIBALISM.

We have been informed upon good

horseback, got in pun suit of party oil
seven Pswnee Mohss on foot, and that
they overlook and killed one Of the lat

ously cut up and eat the body OF the muir
dered victim!--These facts were prompt.
ly communicated to the Chief of the
Creeks, Gen. Mcintosh, who expressed
his warmest indignation at such acts Of
cannibalism, and also his fears that such
unfolt tunate proceedings may lead 10 3
general war among the western tribes Of
Indians. Gen. Mcintosh isa great
lover Of peace, and it is earnestly hoped
that his fears may never be realized.

The oxhydrogen microscope, and magnitied
some twenty millions Of times, all the
species Of animals now existing on the
earth. or that have existed during the df.
forent stages of creation for millions of yeas
past, will there be discovered. In The blood
Iof healthy person, all the animalcuIae are

diseased person they are furious raging and

lin illustration of hs position Iha, man con-
