WHITE SLAVERY IN MExIco.-An officer in the
Arkansas mounted Rifiemen, in the of high
y intelligent and graphic letter, dated at Moncloya,
and addressed to the editor of the New York esprit
of the Times, mentions the following facts ilustra-
tive of the odous system of slavery in Mexico:
81 noticed, one evening, our hostes busily count
ing money and making calculations, and curiosity led
me to inquire into the cause. She about to buy
girl for cook, for debt Of $50 So | learned
then and afterwards, that a or woman may be
sold for debt, or parent may contract debt. and
pledge his or her child for its payment; and if not
paid at the time the child is sold. man so sold,
receives, towards payment of his debt five dollars,
and woman, two, per month. If the person sold
does not like his master, he may procure another to
pay the debt, and take him; and when such other
person offers to do SO, and the slave consents the first
buyer cannot refuse to take his money. A girl SO
sold may marry if her husband pays the debt she is
free-if not, she remains slave"

SURRENDER OF A MURDERER FROM SALVATION
BANTRY, Thursday.-On the 10Th August 1S45 John
Murphy was murdered at place called Lisheeds,
within five miles of this town. The principal in the
murder was a man named William Downing, the
leader of powerful faction in this county. Since
then the police most DESTROYS to arrest him and
others who were abettors in the crime, and though
night after night they raversed the hills, and large
reward was offered, they did not succeed; Downing
and his associates having been sheltered and protect
cd by his adherents throughout the county. On the
18th December last James T. Flynn, one of the par
ties charged, gave himself up, saying thai he could
not suffer hunger, and those who heretofore fed him
were without food themselves. On the same day
James ID. Flynn surrendered, giving his the
inability of the people longer to assist him. On the
18th December John Mccarthy, third party charged
surrendered HIMSELF and the 9th, the principal,
VIM. Downing, came in. He had been an athletic
man, but his frame shattered, and his counte-
nance so haggard that he was not recognized until
he gave his name. He said that he supposed he would
be hung but even that preferable to the horrid
death which awaited him if he remained at large any
longer.-English Paper.

REMARKABLE.--It is one of the remarkable results
of the famine in ireland, where Indian Corn has mea-
suraby taken the place of the potato that the corn
was selling considerably higher than the best wheat !;
70s per quarter being the price for Indian Corn, and
Cos. per quarter for Wheat The greater ease and
greater variety of ways of preparing Indian Corn for
food, may account in part for this preference

The CHEAP POSTAGE Law AND Posi- OFFICE STA
TIsTIcs--The old contracts of the Post Office Depart
ment, says the New York Express, are fast expiring
and new ones will be made more advantageousy to
the rost Office Department. As it is, the receipts
under the new law largely increasing the revenues
of the Post Office Thus, take the receipts on letter
postage, for the last three quarters:
Total Receipts
for Quarters.
Fourth quarter 1916 s574,69l Sc sl5,327
First quarter 1916 S74S, 724 90 696, 1913
Second quarter 1916 S766,555 50 9i3,767
The expenses of mail transportation during these
quarters were as follows:

LIST quarter 1916 659,645 4,045,0ll
ID quarter 1916 669.6l5 1.055372
Notwithstanding the multiplication of railroads and
steamboats,, the coach mail service of the last year
was SIS, 537 033, and the cost to the Government
was 81 ,l64.57O. The railroad and steamboat trans
portation was S775l ,S2S, and the cost $50, $50.
The total annual transportation S37 1896, Ala, and
the total annual cost S2,7l6,67 The receipts of
the mail service for the last year fell considerably
short Of the expenses, but must remember that in
these expenses included all the mail services per-
| formed for the Government We see that the post
ages of Congress amounted alone during the last
year S275 200, and the post-oce expenses of the
General Executive Departments ought not to be
merated in the deficiencies of the presen. law. There
is reasonable cost the form of increased rates
of POSTAGE and the post-ofce taxes of the citizens
should be laid to meet the expenses Of members OF
Congress and officers of the Government and we can
conceive of more unequal tax. The Treasury
may much more properly bear such burdens than the
correspondence of individuals.

Gun CoTToN.-A parcel of this curious substance
has been left with by DR.. A. ID. Chaloner, Of Phil
adepha, which is beautiful in Its appearance tears
with harsh sound, and can be hammered on anvil
without exploding by the percussion. One grain and
half, by weight is equal to three grains, by weight,
of ordinary gunpowder. The following process has
been found by Dr. Chaoner, and kindly furnished us
by that gentleman. Take of strong fuming nitric
acid (nitrosontric Of Barzslus) tteo parts by
sure and part by of strong suphurc acid
(o Of vitriol) and mix the acids together, in wide
open vessel in current of air to escape the moi
some and irritating vapors given off Then place
some clean cotton, free from grease and picked into
small focks, in another glass vessel, and POUR upon
the cotton the mixed acids, stirring with glass rod
quickly, to prevent the from becoming geatinous.
Then place the cotton under a stream of clean water
and wash it well until acid remains, as will be
evident from the TASTE and by the Of ltmus paper.
Place the of wet cotton between two glass Plates
press out the water, and then dry carefully.
If these precautions are used, the gUncotton will
be found to be highly explosive on the application of
fire, but not by percussion. The nature of the chem
ica compound formed, has been yet satisfactorily
determined. Some chemists think the cotton plays
the part of base but Others that it probably acts
tertium qud. or by the doctrine of presence For,
with the exception of the cotton becoming tougher in
texture, and harsher it undergoes visible change
The cotton of course furnishes the combustibe part
of the composition like the charcoal and sui phur of
gunpowder--whilefte acids supply the oxygen, COR
responding to the nitre in gunpowder.--U Union.
