A CRUEL AND lNnUMAN ExHIBIrIos.- sue
Of BsInum, in the exhibition Of Joyce Heth, at
which the Snowman now laughs heartily himself has
led to numerous limitations Of that humbug. The
most recent lie that of the Aztec children" as
they are called. These dwarls have been repre-
sentei to the public as types of whole race in
Central Americs-a race Of priests-and the dini.
nutive stature is accounted for by repeated breed
ing in 1t iatermed-that is, breeding exclusively
in the same family. There is no doubt ths., both
in mankind and animals, the repeated breeding of
near relatives deteriorates the race, and leads to
feebleness of body, and, in the human species, to
beciliiy of mind, and even idiotoy. But that it
could produce whole nation of dwarfs, is opposed
to experience, to reason, and to common sense.
Every generation removes the kindred and relation
ship further away, SO that, instead of nation be-
ing affected by it, time wears it ont If We are to
believe the Bible, the whole human race sprang
from one pair; and If the theory put forward for
the Aztec children were true, the whole human
race would be dwarfs, growing less and less every
year, till, at last, men Of full age were reduced
to an inch in height. In the Jewish dspsnsation,
the priesthood were an of one family, yet no such
result followed rs is pretended in the Of the
Aztec children.
But it is contrary to fact and history. There Is
ne evidence Of any race in Central America Of
which these dwarfs are specimens, and to take the
word of interested exhibitor upon such matter,
would be downright absurdity. We happen to
have got hold of some facts in relation to this bust
ness, which place it in its true light.
A Californian adventurer, whose name we have
heard, returning from the land of gold by way Of
Chsgres, met the dwarfs in question, and bought
them for So apiece. They are a cross of Jamaica
muatto and an Indian squaw residing near Chagres.
He brought them to this city over two years ago;
and having them somewhere up town, and not being
able to speculate with them, he gave them away to
IN acquaintance VIII calculating upon the gullibii
y Of the people Of New York undertook to say they
were of q race Of priests in Central Ameri,a,
believing that by publishing the lie in the news
papers, it would pass current, and he would realize
more gold by them than he ever did in California.
Immediately the story appeared in the pious Jour-
nal Of Commerce. and since it has been vouched for
in the ~ ibune and Times, at go many cents per
line.
These abortions Of humanity are only specimens
Of what are produced in Mexico, Central America
and South America, by the infinite crossings Of
white men with black and red The race is dete-
riorated, and has become generally diminutive !;
and, in som instances, dwarfs the result, such
the Aztec children but as to their being speci
mems of . whole nation or race of similar human
beings, it is pure fiction. The following is list
Of crossings in Peru, which shows how the human
race is modified and changed By BREEDING

In all parts Of the world there arc mons.rositiss,
which are horrible and pulsve, and for the sake
Of public decency, ought to be kept out Of view
rather than exposed. In Central America and
Mexico they are more numerous on account of the
crossing OF the Iadian and negro breeds with the
white blood Of the Spaniards. In the United
States, the Anglo Saxon race-the Caucasian type,
which is at the head Of the human family-is pro-
served pure by the existence Of slavery, and hence
its vigor and superiority, was proved in the bat
tie fields Of the Mexican campaign, one North
American b,ing equal to five of the degenerate
mongrels Of the amalga mated breeds.
Thus do We account for the lMsus nat~rG OF the
Aztec children, without resort to the mpudent false
hsod propagated about . pretended Liliputian
race Of priests. They are as much specimens Of a
race in Central America, as Tom Thumb is Of the
Inhabitants of bridgeport Exhibitions Of these
abortions and monstrosities ought to be rity pro-
bited by the authorities, or Indicted by the Grand
Jury. They are revolving to human nature,
and must be painful in the extreme to the mise
rable objects themselves. The "Aztec children
are far mere like monkeys than samples of human
ity found in any part OF the habitable globe.

TIE JAPAN EXPEDITIoN-WHAT HAS BECOME OF
1T 1--WE hear nothing, of late, of the Japan Expe-
dition Is it given upl Can they not engage sail
ors Mt twelve dollars month. What is become Of
Commodore Perry! What is the administration
waiting for? or what was The meaning of all the
fnss created about it, few months ago, contrasted
with the silence now observed in respect to it? We
suspect ,hue the uhoio thing very badly de-
yiscd and, thus far, still worse executed. Half n
dozen small vessels with one or two thousand men,
form but n beggarly fleet to send from this great
country, 10 intiidate, create friendly feelings in
the minds of the semi barbarians of japan. We
doubt, therefore, whether the present adminstra-
ton hos the pluck to carry their contemplated
grand design Into oSecution and it is probable We
shall have to wait for the new administration be-
fore an expedition of the proper magnitude will be
equipped and sent into the Pacific ocean. The
best plan FOR the government to adopt would be to
purchase Up the whole of the Collins steamers,
transform them into war steamers, man them at
all points, and sand them, in company with ten or
twelve sailing vessels, to pay their respects to the
authorities OF Japan. Nothing less than some grand
movement Of this kind viii be Of any service, and
the honor Of this country aud the progress of civil
ration demand its being carried Into operation.
We have 10 doubt that il the present admniStra-
ton do not possess the courage 20 effect such de-
sign, the next viii gladly avail itself IF the op-
portunity to carry ii out.
