New PURCHASE FOR LIBERIA.--The New Jer-
sey Colonization Society has recently made q
new and valuable purchase of land in Africa
for colonization purposes. 1t lies beyond the
previous bounds of the colony, interior, in a
northeasterly direction from Cape Mesurado,
between the st. Johns and St. Paul's rivers,
and contains about two hundred and fifty square
miles, or one hundred and sixty thousand acres.
Its nearest point is about twenty miles from the
coast. 1t is represented as having beautiful
elevation, an abundance of sweet cool water,
in running brooks from the mountains over
white pebbly bottoms, excellent timbered forests,
q plenty of brick clay, and, what is more note
worthy, good supply of granite stone suitable
for building purposes Some of the brooks
have elevated banks from FIVE to sixty feet high,
and offer excellent mill sites. The whole tract
was purchased of the natives for small sum;
and what is specially gratifying is, that strong
desire was expressed by the native kings and
their people to have the colony established
within their borders, that they might enjoy the
protection and advantages Of instruction which
it would afford them. The site Of q town had
been selected, and twenty-five families Of old
settlers had volunteered to commence the settle
ment.

Mr.. THRAsHER.-A letter has been received
at Boston from Mr.. Thrasher, the late editor of
the Faro Industrial, who was convicted at Ha-
vana on the charge Of participating in the late
Cuban invasion, giving an account Of his trial.
Among the charges preferred against him were
the following: First, receiving letters in cipher
second, receiving loaf of bread wrapped in
piece of paper, containing the arrival Of the
United States ship Cyane; third, that his
mother sent him cakes in newspaper which
had an account Of the Lopez expedition. The
court met on the 18th, and consisted Of presi
dent and six military officers.
A captain in the army made lame defence
for the government Mr.. Thrasher read pow
erful protest against the proceedings. lie was
roughly checked whenever he referred to the
treaty with the United States and Cuba.
The sentence Of Mr.. Thrasher, as previously
announced, is confirmed He is allowed two
hours each day to see his friends, through the
bars of the prison. He says the whole affair
was q ridiculous mockery.

PAUpERIsM.-The society for improving the

a report of their operations the present year.
According to the county official returns, the
number Of paupers chargeable to the State
during the past year'was l04,3 ,399; and during
the same period, the alien emigrants in the
State, chargeablc to the Emigration Depart
ment, were officially reported to be $4,000,
making the whole number relieved 154, ,399. Of
the State paupers, but 45,116 we're natives
while 80, 2S3 were foreigners; to which add the
before mentioned 80, 900 recent emigrants, and
the result shows that 1888 foreigners, or
more than 20 per cent. Of the whole number
relieved or supported, we're from foreign conn
tries and 5,ll6, or less than 30 per cent, were
natives. The report says that "during the year
just closed, although the cases of pauperism
have not abated in activity, the number requi-
ring aid has not only fallen far below the ratio
Of the increase of population, but was numeri-
cally less, by three hundred and twenty-five
families, containing twelve hundred and sixty
persons, than in 1850"

The Smithsonian Institute Building is strange

east baronial battlements, and on the west mo-
nastic roofs and low doorways. The interior is
badly arranged for the purpose for which it was
intended The apartments are entirely too
small. The public lecture-room, instead of being
capable Of accommodating five thousand per-
sons, will not comfortably seat five hundred.
The picture gallery contains scarcely single
suitable spot to place picture, and instead Of
introducing the light through the roof, it is ad-
mitted through the walls, against which the
