! went yesterday to see the Aztec children.
They are certainly singular little creatures, and
must excite interest wherever they GO There is
nothing disagreeable about them; but with their
awkward movements, childish pranks, and occa-
sionai glmmerings Of intelligence they keep the
spectators around the platform on which they are
placed highly interested Their heads are shaped
exactly like the figures in the Central American
monuments, as described and depicted by Ste
yens and Catherwood. That they came from the
Aztec. company, and are directly or Indirectly
descended from that race, is not improbable, for
! it may readily be believed that some tribes of
Indians there preserve in greater degree than
others the features of the first settlers but the
story of their having been taken from temple
in city never before that time known or visited
by white men, is generally believed to be all
fudge, and the exhibitors will enlist more support
from the intelligent community if they put forth !,
less wonderful story.
This is the season for renting houses and
with an increase of population Of over thirty
thousand per annum, the demand is far greater
than the supply, notwithstanding that acres Of
ground have been compacty built up with three
and four-story dwellings, which are readily rented
ut from eight hundred to thousand dollars each.
We shall soon have to come to the Partisan and
Ednburg system Of building houses, one above
another; for how people live and pay such rents

The speculation in the stock market has been
quite moderate for a day or two past, Reading

The zinc companies, from Jersey, are beginning

about from hand to hand, like hot potatoes.
Money is readily obtained, at ordinary rates,

MILITARY AND Moral PowER.-One of the
| London journals contains this passage: 'sIn a
word, the chief visible result of the events of
| the last three years has been to give increased
| force. and audacity to arbitrary governments"
Well, who can wonder MT this? Are not all
arbitrary governments sustained by military pow
er? And on the part Of the people, what, is ,
| there to counterbalance the bayonet and sabre?
| Ignorance on the one hand-superstiton on the
other. Again-after the military comes the
church power. Where the sword and the church
| are the side Of the despots, what cnance for
an ignorant people? Church and State always
makes arbitrary governments, though English
politicians may shut both eyes to that fact when
they come to speculate on continental politics.
| Now, what makes the military? Church and
State. What makes Church and State? Why,
| popular ignorance, which is always the concomi-
tant Of Church and State. Where there is gno-
rance there must be degradation. Yet these
writers want a Hero" or Representative"
incarnation to correct the evils of the age! They
cannot see, and will not believe, that there exists
a church system, that stamps the age with the
impress Of its power" in tithes, bench Of
bishops hollow superstition, and the "sale Of
indulgences," though not in the same form in
which Luther grappled with the abuses of his
| time. Scperate Church from State establish
common schools-and you have moral power.
