The Negro's Place in Nature.

We have received copy of pamphlet
with the above title, containing a lecture
delivered in England by DR.. James Hunt,
before the London Anthrop illogical Society.
DR.. Hunt is one of the most eminent natu-
ralists of ngland, and bis lecture takes the
position that the negro race IL adapted by
nature to position of suborlnation. He
overihrows the arguments of the Abolition
lists in a m ssterlY manner. So much i'm
Portsnce was attached to this Lecture in
England, that Professor Huxley, of the
Royal College, esssyed to give an answer
to it on the part of the Abolitionists, but he
rather succeeded in confirming than des-
troying DR.. Hunts arguments. This Lee
ture has been reprinted in this country by
Van Evrie, Horton & Co., No. 1872 Nassau
street New York, and will be sent postpaid.

perished In the flames. In 1919 Caracas, tho
capital OF Venezuela, was destroyed by an earth
quake, and 10000 livesaost. During the great

In the burning Of the bridge. In CONSTANT
nople, 1871, 10000 houses were burned. and In
1888, 10000 houses and so mosques were de-
stroyod. By the great fire in London, 1866,
which ragged four days and nights, 1888 900
houses and SO churches were destroyed. In

The following communication is published
In the New York EUeRing Post. 1t is not very
amiablc in It's tone, but Its suggestions NAV
have some weight:
Having seen the notice given by the Assist
ant Treasurer that he will sell to importers GER
tlhcates OF gold, for the purpose Of paying du.
ties, at one quarter of one per cent. less than
the market price, would like 10 know who is
to make the market pricei Does the Secretary
mean to be governed by the Coal IIole2 Does
ne mean that gamblers shall dictate to him
what that Is to BET 1t was supposed that Com
gress gave the power to Mr.. Chase for the mr.
pose OF reducing the premium on gold. and of
giving stability to the market.
Why should he who holds this poWer Ieave
1t TO Others Why not make il himselr1 If
he wants to get all the premium he can. then
let him say he will sell at two hundred and he
will get II directly, as he Is sure to DO in n
roundabout way or If his purpose is TO reduce
the price, why not come at It at once and saw
he will sell 10 importers gold at fftyper cent, I
He Is the man to dictate, NOT 10 be dictated 10
and by taking proper standpoint he can aid
Instead Of putting a stumbling-block In the
way Of legitimate trade.
Now, do not believe that great reduction
would be advantageous but stability would
even If the premium were double what It now
Is. Let Mr.. Chase say whether Il shall be more
or less, and legitimate buyers have some trust
worthy price, and can assure him that the
future management Of this matter will be well
"elghed by the people. AN IMPORTER.
