ssThe FIRST proposition for reciprocal free trade
was confined to Canada alone, and limited to
certain natural products of either country but the
question has since taken wider range. 1t is now
believed that an arrangement can be effected and
carried out for the free interchange between the
United States and the colonies of all the products
of either whether of agriculture of mines, of the
forest, or of the sea, in connexion with an agree
ment for the free navigation of the rivers st. Law
renee and St. John, the concession of concur
rent right with British subjects to tho sea fisheries
near the shores of the colonies, and tho remission
of the export duty levied in New Brunswick on
timber and lumber cut within the limits of the
United States, and foated down the river ST.
John, for shipment to American ports.
'sThe free navigation of the st. Lawrence was
prominent subject of discussion during the ad-
ministraton Of John Quincy Adams. At this
time it is greatly desired by all those western
States bordering on the great akes, rs their natu-
raj outlet to tho sea.
s'Thc free navigation of the ST. John has been
rendered absolutely necessary by the provisions OF
the treaty of Washington, and it would be of great
advantage to the extensive lumber interest in the
northeastern portion of the Union. The repeal of
the export duty on American lumber hoated down
the st. John to the sea would be but an act of
justice to the lumbermen of that quarter, upon
whom it now presses severely, and who have
strong claims to the consideration of the Govern
ment
"At present there are no products of the colo
nial mines exported to the United States, except
small quantity Of Goals from New Brunswick, /,
and larger quantity from the coal fields of Nova

the improved smoothing iron. One heater
can be used without changing for twenty or
thirty minutes And as the heaters can be
laid in the fire, not more than one third as
much wood as would be required in using
the old irons. The shirts and collars come
out clean and white from the surface of the
iron, which retains its original polish, being

will be no mistake, about their being on hand

Running to Catch the Cars.

A few days since while standing a. the
depot, at Loudenvile, on the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Railroad, we noticed rather a green
looking chap, who bad just come from the
West on the cars and was going on East He
was busy striding about on the platform, assu-
ming airs which seemed to say to those whose
attention was attracted towards him by his
odd appearance, you tarnal fools this ere
old hoss is railroad passenger himself" His
arms run into his breeches' pockets up to the
elbows--his sugar-loaf beaver-his trowsers
much too short-his vest and pants which he
had long since outgrown, gave to him quite
an antique and ludicrous aspect. While he
was making many and varions observations
the train on which he was travelling started
But tsupposing, as we judged from his move
nents, that he could overtakc the train, pro
vided it had not too much the start Of him
he made no effort TO get aboard, until it hat
moved off some ten or fifteen yards, when h,
began to think he might as well step into Tho
car he had left and take his seat. He step
ped from the platform and took after tn,
train, and the faster it ran the faster he ran
and the farther he ran the farther he fell be
hind. He rowed Justify with his arms, and
piled his legs as we'll as any mortal could do
but to no purpose, except to disturb the re
rose of many gravel-stones which lay alonl
his way, and to create tremendous shout @
laughter among the lookers.on. He fnal
yelled out at the top of his voice to the brake
man on the hindmost car, "stop that darne
old boss. I'm goin." But the cars moved O.
with increasing velocity. Again he cried ou
"you feller there, l say stop that infarnal oil
critter, for must 60" But the old "hoss
didn't stop, neither did he, SO far as we coul
see thon. The last we saw of him was hi
hindmost leg and his coat tail just as he turn
ed curve, which hid him from our view
Wnen and where he stopped, or whether h
stopped at all, we have not yet learned.

New ZELAND.--This remote and hithcr.
10 almost unknown region is becoming an in
tere, ing portion Of the world. The Coiomdl
Church Chronicle, for May, publishes a very
interesting private letter from the Rev. WM
NHILL, Of the Manesian Mission. The let
ter began at the island of Nengone, on the
lst Of August 1852, and finished in October.
The following extract is all We can spare room
for. Speaking of Nengone, he says;
"There are perhaps two thousand peopl c
in our immediate neighborhood, and l sup
pose Eve or six hundred at the other end of
the island. Swaieko, who have been for the
last three years protesting Christians, who
have had no other teachers amongst them
than men from Rarotonga and Samoa, about
whom one reads in Williams Missionary
Enterprises" The two men with whom we
are living, are both young, unmarried men,
who have been working steadily here for the
last six years, great part Of which time they
we're without any resources but their own,
their missionary vessel having made lopg
stay in England. They have gained the ro-
spect and attention Of all the natives and
from the two places, Guiana and Siwaieko,
converted natives Of the island are constantly
going out every Saturday morning TO preach
at other settlements, where the people have
not yet decided in favor of Christianity, thus
extending the knowledge of the Gospel thro
the whole island, by little and little.

Singular Race of Human beings.

There are now in London two very singu-
lar human beings of race which has hither-
to been very little known to the civilized
world. They came from South Africa, where
they are called Earthmen. They are totally
distinct from all other known African races
as much so as if they had dropped upon this
earth from another planet They are dimin-
utive in size, mere pigmies-and unacquaint-
ed even with the art Of building huts They
shelter themselves in caves and crevices of
the earth; when these are wanting, they
make artificial scoppings on the surface, which
they line with leaves and cover with branches
The Hottentots and Bushmen are the avow-
eG enemies of the Earthmen, and when they
meet them will shoot them down like vermin
The poor little defenceless Earthmen have no
refuge but in holes, trees or thckets, and the
tribe is fast yerging to extinction. They are
poor weak people-one Of Natures freaks
and destined not to perpetuate their Iace
Few colonists have seen them and although
it is known that few yet lnger in the noun
tans, these are rapidly dying away, and will
soon become tradition of an elvish afrite race
of old.
The two individuals above mentioned were
carried TO England from The Cape of Good
Hope two or three years ago, and have now
become domesticated in an English family
The morning Chronicle, from which we taxa
these particulars, describes these little Earth
men as IL boy and girl the former fourteen
and the latter sixteen years of age, and "com-
plete little fairies" in appearance. The boy
is three feet three and a'haf inches in height,
the girl trif1e taller. Their skin is of the
brightest and most transparent bronze, and
as smooth and polished as marble. In form
the little creatures are perfect-their delicate
limbs standing out ia the most graceful SYM
| etry, and every motion instinct with the un.
taught ease of nature. The faces, although
decidedly African in feature, are full of sweet
ness and good humor, with an expression OF
archness and intelligence.
They are named Martins and Flora. In
their savage state they feed on locusts, ant
eggs, and such small game as they could take
Till they were carried TO England, they had
no ideas Of God or any Supreme power
At present they have been taught some o
the customs of civilized life, and are able tc
speak little English words, to sing little Eng
ish popular airs, and-the first Earthmen-
to play little airs on the piano.
Few sights are more interesting to think
ing person than that of the last of race o
human beings on the point of being blotted
out from the face of the earth. The individ
uals in question seem to constitute one Of th,
most anomalous forms Of our species, that has
ever yet been brought to the notice of thu
naturalist or the ethnologist. 1t is to be hope'
that further light will be thrown on their his
tory by scientific researches. Toledo Blade

An Excellent Example for Railroad
COmDanies.

The Delaware, Lehigh and Wyoming Rail.
road Company, has issued the following order
for the observance Of those employed on that
Road
"Thc use Of Intoxicating Drinks of all kinds
is strictly prohibited, and any person reported
violating this order, either on or off duty, &C
companied with satisfactory proof Of the fact,
will be promptly discharged"
This is an ordinance which should be en-
forced by every Railroad Company in the
Union. So long as Railroad Companies per-
sist in the ruinous and inhuman practice Of
employing drunken Conductors and Engi-
neefs, we must expect to have our feelings
frequently shocked and outraged by such
frightful occurrences as those of Chicago and
Norwalk, both of which were occasioned by
the effects ofintoxicating liquors. If in any
situation in which a man can be placed, he
should be a sober, responsible man, il is up
on duty as engine driver; and officers cannot
be too stringent in enforcing total abstinence
upon this class of employees in their service.
1t is very important that a Conductor of a
railroad train should be a sober, steady man,
but il is more important that the engine dri-
yer should be such man. A conductor
while collecting fare from passengers cannot
watch for their safety any more than passen-
gers can themselves. The lives of all are in
great extent in the hands of the engineer
Railroad Companies are entirely too careless
| in employing brake.men. The great destruc-
ton of human life on the n. York and n

avoided, had the brakes been applied as they
should have been. The following is the les

Rand Increase Of gold.

Australian fields are known to bave yielded,

in New York from California in the same
thirty days, $o.els,Sl9.-Thus. the two
sources supplied TO commerce over Sl2,ooo'
600 in month, aud succeeding months have
not diminished the average, as far as Callfor-
MIA is concerned. The amount is near $l5,
900 per month actual receipts, or $50,
100000 per annum. Hitherto these vast
means have been rapidly absorbed by the
rising wants Of commerce and trade, and this
absorption has counteracted the influence oi
the gold upon 6xed property. This. process
will continue, but with less force, and more
rapid increase in property valuation may be
looked for.
