The following from the Cincinnati Daily
Atlas will be found interesting at the pres
ent time, and should be remembered by our
readers, as there is in all probability much
10 DO said 10 short time ia relation 10 this
kingdom.
THE MOSQUITO KINGDOM.
As We are in some danger OF getting in
to war with Great Britain, about a nation
ot Mosquitoes. it may he useful 10 know
where they are and what they have to do
with us. The Mosquito Coast, no j, is usu.
ally called. is within wha. is called the Re-
public oil Central America. This is the
country, to which our distinguished fellow
citizen. John l.. Stevens, was sent in
vain attempt TO find Government, and Ia
which our notorious fellow citizen +. B.
Squiers, has been sen, ON tho same mis-.
sion. with probability Of equal success.
The Republic Of Central America was
originally constituted of five States, viz
Guatimala, ST. Salvador, Honduras. Near.
agua, aud Costa Ricn. Il lies between q
aud IL degrees n. latitude, and is natural
~ the most prolific aud abundant country
upon the face Of the earth. From Indian
corn To coffee, from whea, to sugar, from
rice TO cocoa and vanilla, Central America
abounds in oil plants and productions. Yet.
this rich aud beautiful country. has bccn
made perfect desert, a wilderness having
grown up on the ruins Of i,s ancient cities.
This 10 the work Of the ignorance, super.
stition aud bad government Of man.
At the time Mr.. Stevens visited Central
America, the five States had fallen to pie
ces, by their own weakness aud powerful
Indian Chief, At the head Of an Indian In.
surrection, was 10 possession Of the Poi,i-
cal power. Mr.. Stevens, therefore, found
no government, end there is in tact, no
Government in what was called the Repuh.
lie Of Central America. Tho country
which is now called the Mosquito Kingdom
has for long time been known a. the
"Mosquito Coast" There is a tribe Of
Indians there known rs the Mosquito lndi.
aus. The Mosquito Coast is properly with.
in the State Of Honduras, 10 which the Eng.
ish have always Ind and maintained Ger.
tain rights. Il is from Honduras the Bri-
fish got nearly all their mahogany, and III
lsalize, they have had naval establish
men, f"r half n century, altogether too lon.
for US TO pretend any conflicting claims.
The Mosquito Coast, properly SO called, is
on the Eastern shore Of Honduras, extend
ing from the 10th degree Of North Latitude
I" the river Escendido in the 18th degree.
The interior Of tho country il inhabited by
savage nation, called the Mosquitoes, he.
cause the country is infected bv most in
supportable race Of that .ormen,ing insect.

per cent, Cor nearly one moiety of the imports
attests the sufierlngs experienced by our manutac
turing industry. IL is known, in fact, that the
goods imported chiefly consist of raw materials
which we manufacture In France: Thus, for ex-
ample, the imports OF silk have fallen from 76 O00,-
0OOf. 10 3S,000,00Of only woollen goods, from
30,OOO,OOOt to l3,OO0,OOOf oleagnous seeds, from
$4,000, 000f to IL 600 000f undressed skins, from
25,OOO,OOOf to 10000, OOOf /; unwrought iron, from
100000 O0f TO 5000 0OOf zlnc from OOOt. to
2,OO0,OO0 The consumption OF coloSial sugar has
declined from $1,000, 000f. to 100000 1t
would be impossible TO calculate all the losses
which have been consequent on the suspension of
the industrial movement-losses to the manufac-
turer, whose mater,el remains unproductve, and
losses to the operative, who barely worked one day
out of two. The exports have sustained reduc-
ton far less considerable than the imports The
difference, as We have shown, Is only per cent.
This result is explained on the one hand by the
hon OF the temporary premiums which were granted
on the exports OF our manufactured produce, and
on the other by the sacrifices which our manufac-
turers imposed on themselves in order to make an
outlet for the goods which encountered their mag
azines Our exchanges have decined-viz., by Is
per cent with the United States OF America, 10
with SARDINIA, Fl with Spain, "a with Belgium, 30
with the German Zoleverein, nc, The only In
crease is noticeable in our trade with England and
the Swiss Republic. Our colonial trade has fallen
OIL by "A per cent. Our transit trade has not suf-
fered less The carrying OF foreign produce across
the French territory amounted to weight of
35l 900 quntals, against 650,000 in lSi7-equva-
lent TO decline of 46 per cent. AS to the mari
time movement of France with the colonies and
with foreign countries, 1t has declined from
3,li6.000 TO 1895, 900 tons-equivalent to q per
cent The foreign flag, however, has suffered to
greater extent than the French. In concluding
this sad enumeration, we may state that the rro-
duce of the Customs duties was in 1913 less by
4S, coo, 000f than in IS47. Our colonial sugar fig
for $4,000, 000f. wooens, for ,000, 000f
wrought iron, for 5000 000f; coffee, for 1000 ,O00f;
olive OIL for 1000, O0Of, &c. In Paris alone, the
falling off of the Customs receipts was nearly so

TRADE or FpArcE.-The Conaitufionnc! says
Many serious lessons may be derived from the
general table Of the commerce Of France IN the
yesr 1S4s, just published by the Custom-house adj
n1inisuaiion They show how dearly the working
classes have TO pay for the luxury Of revolutions
and the enjoyment of revolutionary government
How many privstions, how much distress Of all
sorts, do these long columns Of figures reveal! The
general commerce Of France, which embraces all
cur intercourse with foreign countries, whatever
10 the origin Of the goods imported or the dest-
nation Of those exported, turned, IN 1913, on an
official value Of 20l5. 000, 000f being decrease

CoURTsHIP.-A lover should be treated with the
same gentleness a new glove. The young lady
should pull him on with the utmost tenderness at
first, only making the smallest advance at time,
ultimately around her little finger; whereas the
young lady who is hasty, and in too great hurry,
will never get lover to take her hand, but be left
with nothing but her wits at her fingers ends
