a bitter and yindctve article in relation to the late
C. J. McNu.y, of Ohio in which is crowded crush
ing mass of misrepresentation and abuse of the Dead

ton with the nomination first suggested at
Washington city by Sias Wright, to a deputation
from the convention who waited upon the dstin-
gushed Senator to urge his own acceptance Of the

LEARNED PEDLAR-Some years ago gentleman
who had been appointed professor in the department
of Oriental literature, in one Of our colleges went out
to Asia to perfect himself in the necessary learning
for his new duties. Not finding all the teaching
which he desired, he came back to Germany, hoping
among the Of that intellectual country to find
some one with whom he could complete his studies.
There he was told that the most learned man in that
department a Jew who had been for several
years in America The professor returned, and after
applying to the rabbi at Boston, finally touched the
object of his pursuit. when, to his great SURPRISE he
learned that the man whom he sought was the very
Jew who had been, during all his absence, peddling
jewcry and trinkets in the professors own college
yard. The pedlar proved to be really possessed of
the learning which had been attributed to him, and
since the discovery the young professor has been pur
suing his studies under the learned pedars tuition
with much atsfaction.-Journal of Commerce

IMPORTANT MOVE OF TRoors.-The following IS an
extract from letter dated Matamoros, August @:
Hays regiment cannot leave here for two or
three days. This expedition is more than an ordi-
nary ranging party. They are equipped with tents
something unusual: all the horses have to be shod,
and paymaster, learn, goes along.

From THE ARMY--Lieut. Lee of the 9Th Infantry,
who arrived at Charleston Friday last, direct from
the army states that General Taylor had reached Ca
margo and all the regular troops with the exception
Of Mays Dragons and Ridgley's Battery, numbering
from 5000 to 1000 men, had reached the same point
but they would remain there only for others to
come up, when 1t was supposed that General Taylor
would proceed at once TO Monterey, with force OF
about 5000 men. The impression prevailed that the
enemy would give him battle at the deile between
Monterey and Saltillo.
MAJOR RINeeoLD's TROOP AT MATAMoRAs.-The

News from the army to the 17ih had been received
at New Orleans. Nothing further of interest had

the army. Gen. Taylor, it is said, affects mys-

instructions he may receive from Washington. His
present orders are that he will make his headquarters

Capt W. L. Ball, of the Kentucky volunteers, is
supposed TO have been murdered by the Mexicans on
the road between Burita and Matamoras.
Another Mexican depot of arms has been found in
Matamoras, and quantity of stores and ammunition
seized.
The regiment of rangers under Col. Jack Hays and
Lieut.. Col Walker LETT Matamoras about the 10Th

route to be taken by them is not known, and will de-
pend probably upon circumstances.
| The I'd regiment of Dragons, which is composed
now of only four companies with about 375 men, has
abandoned its encampment between Point Isabel and
Fort Brown, and at Matamoras at last accounts.
Maj. Gen. Butler is represented to be quite i'll al

expected to the entrance of Gen. Woods command al
Chihuahua, of which they had heard, that of Gen
Kearney, at Santa Fe. Plenty of grass and water was
found on the route between Santa Fe and Independ-
ence but it was exceedingly questionable whether
subsistence could be obtained for Gen. Kearney's
command in New Mexico. 1t is believed that the
army must depend altogether for subsistence on sup
plies from the United States.

APPEARANCE AND Dress OF TIE MExTcANs.-Ad-
iutant General Forsyth, writing from the army to a
paper in Georgia. gives the following description OF
the dress Of the Mexicans. We saw some thirty men
with their high-crowned and broad-brimmed hats,
principally bedizened with gold cords-their pants Of
sailor cut, tight at the waist, and buttoned from the
hip the knee and thence to the foot flying open in
large folds to keep their legs cool; some with
shirts, some without covering from the waist up and
others with their shirts curiousy tied their backs,
by the sleeves over the shoulders All the children
up to ten years were naked. The womens attire has
often been described Immediately remembered Ken
dalls and S;ephenss description of its exceeding
tness and adaptation to hot climate. Gowns not
known. chemise with short sleeves and short
petticoa with the ribosa, for the head, and some
times folded over the bosom, is their entire outfit. 1t

igincs. Many of them darker than our Indians,
and the African blood is plainly marked.

clothing store on Centre street, and apparently out OF

contrary Notwithstanding To do this certain

SuGAR.-A commercial computation puts the whole
production Of The sugar growing countries of the
world in 1914, down at 77S COO tons, of which &c,
0G0 tons were furnished by Cuba alone. In the fol-
lowing year Cuba produced only $4,000 tons but the
increase from other sources was so great that the
total product amounted to 100 900 tons, which was
very little short of that in 1914. The consumption
Of sugar in the whole world is estimated at 100000
tons, of which the United Kingdom consumes about
100000, the rest Of Europe $4,000, the United
States of America 10000 and Canada and the other
British colonies $1,000. The growth of the United
States does not exceed 100000 tons, for about two
thirds of the consumption and the deficiency is sup
piled by maple sugar and foreign Importation.
