think, TO assert, that at least seveniy'ive have
a strong desire to be possessed Of worldly goods

TO lie in a small commpass. There s in every

igenl Americans fail TO grow rich, at least TO Sc.

THE MEN WITH TAILs.-A year or two since
French travellers in Africa reported the exist.

Soudan were much farther advanced in mind

Several blacks of Haoussa and Adamawah re-
lated 10 me that they had taken part in expedi-
tons against a nation called Niam.Niams, who
had tails. They traced their route, on which
they had encountered tigers, girafes, elephants
and wild cames. Nine days were consumed
in .raversiDg an immense forest. They reached
at length numerous people Of the same com
pexon and freme as themselves, but with tails
from twelve TO fifteen inches long. This organ
or excrescence they described as smooth and
moIionless. The Haoussas massacred the
greater part Of The tribe, among the bodies were
some females with the same appendage. Both
sexes were entirely naked. Some lived 10
strawhovels, but the greater par! lived in caves.
The only article of furniture seen among them
was q wooden bench. pierced with hole for
the accommodation of The tail.
This last circumstance is comica enough
the Witnesses were seven or eight, who declared
that they had handled the excrescence, cut it.

The Washington correspondent Of the Phil.
adelphia Ledger says;
| havu just seen the new gold dollar piece sent
down from the Philadelphia Mint 10 The Hon.
George ]. Houston, Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means. The coin consists Of
fiat ring, on which there is superscription,
but no head, as the place for putting head is cut
out. The only objection to this kind Of coin is
the delrIion, TO which it seems, to me it must
be very liable. On the other hand the coin may
be carried on a string, most convenient and
safe way Of carrying money. Half.dollar gold
pieces, not yet called for by law, have been sent
down, and look very preay.-These half dollar
would be more convenient still than dollar pieces
and may be carried in the same way. Quarter
dollar pieces might be struck in California, for
the accommodation Of barkeepers-t twenty-five
cents being the usual price Of a ''drink," in the
goldc ounsry.
