 DEATH OF ROBERT OwEN.-The steam ship Europa brings intelligence to New York, of tue death of the celebrated Rob- ert Owen, in his Ssh year. MT. Owens name was identified with sundry relor- matory movements. He proposed to re- construct society, projected variety of measures for the elevation of mankind, and labored diligently in his vocation of phiIanthropist. He was born in Wales in l77l, made his mark as bright scholar in his native town at the early age ot nine years, went from school into grocery shop, and at the age of fourteen went to London. When eighteen years old he became partner in cotton factory, into which Arkwright's machinery had just been introduced; afterwards established the Charlton Mills, near Manchester, and after conducting that concern for some wears, undertook the famous speculation at New Lanark, in Scotland, where he and his partners had the management ot mills and farm of one hundred and fifty acres, and population of two thousand persons. MT. Owen was at the head of this enter prise for quarter of century, expended great sums of money, was visited by prn. ces, clergy, and the curious from all coun- tries. wrote elaborate treatises on the bene- fits of a government like that of New Lanark which did away with punishment and the ,errors of the penal law, and dlii, gently disseminated his peculiar doctrines h 1928, he essayed to introduce his theo " of government into Mexico, but wa; unsuccessful. He afterwards attempted |, establish !" New Moral Community, which failed; started " Labor Exchange Bazaar" which also met sudden end and in 1857, urged his claims to seat II Parliament, in which effort he llkewlse failed. MT. Owen made several visits te the United States, the last of them having occurred some ten years ago. While hert I he received marked attention from tho social reformers, and omitted no oppor tunily to bring his theories before the pub I lic
 Mir. Owen was very enthusiastic Tn hlS devotion to schemes of social re-organl zation; was an avowed free thinker; hat faculty of fixing the attention of hi hearers when he spoke; wrote with ia cility; was a man of impressive presence and had many warm admirers. His son Hon. Robert Dale Owen, was formerly member of Congress from an lndlans District, and was appointed United State Minister to Naples by President Pierce in which post he has recently been super ceeded by MT. Chandler.-[New YOrl Times.

A CASE OF AMALGAMATION AND KID
xApp1NG.-The Chicago Journal of the
Soth relates the following incident:
We learn that young man, the son OF
a much respected Professor in a college in
Georgia, recently came to this city in com
pany with young mulatto woman, as his
reputed wife by whom he had four inter
esting children, whom they brought with
them. BefoIe leaving Georgia, it appears
as we learn the facts, he bought this WON
an who was a slave by paying her mastel
$4,000. They have been residing in thi,
city about four weeks, and on Wednesday
he took letter out of the post office
which requested him TO call at certain
room in the fremont House. He went to
the room and was surprised to meet his ia
Their in company with two officers who in
formed him that he W, uld have to accom-
pany them to his home in Georgia. -
Greatly alarmed, and not seeming to un,
derstand his owp rights, he consented tc
return with them, ard returned with them
on the same evening. The woman and
her children are still in the city, She is
fair muatto woman, and her children
ale perfectly white. They are left with
out support.

ANCIENT SHoEs.--The shoes found il
the s, pulchral chamber of the mummy
discov ared in the Short Cave, neighbor
of the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, in
1918 were made of wrough t
resembling South Sea Island, cloth The
needles used in the making of these shoes
which were in her reticule with several
other trinkets, were without eyelets and
were probably used as knitting needles
are used nowadays. A substitute for a
metal thimble was piece of dressed deer,
skin, that had thumb-hole through it, SO
that when in use it covered the palm of
the hand. The needles had head in
the shape of common sized coat button
and some of these were handsomely
sealloped. These needles were made OF
bone and horn and were very smooth show
ing that they had been much used.
