A member of the Senate Tinsne Com.
mittee stated that he is 10 favor of the

ceived information from the revenue de.
tsctives on the northern frontier of the
discovery Of an ingenious scheme for
smuggling spirits from Canada to the
United States. It consists of baby
manufactured out of tin, which is filed

There is a genuine "war of races" at
New Orleans, between the Creole and
American citizens, all about the teaching
# French in the public schools. The |
American element has control in the city,
md is determined that French shall not
