A Succession WORTH PoyDEMNG.-
suggestions of an exchange to Its readers, 10
a neighborng city, that in the present times
of exorbitant high prices for the necessaries
of life, and comparatively low wages where
with to procure them, il is the duty Of the
weather. class of landlords to ease, in de-
gree, the burden Of the living, by the reduc,
ton Of rents, are worthy Of consideration in
our own city, as well as elsewhere
4" As there is general disposition among
employ ers to cut down wages and curtail e
penses. which is no doubt influenced bY the
general stringency in monetary affairs
throughout the West it is but right that the
rents should 90 down voluntarily N just such
proportion as the means TO pay IS being re-
duced. Il is better to moderate the cost Of
living to the workiugmen-e most valuable
population, without which no city can be per.
manenty prosperous 10 hold up prices
to such a standard as to force them to quit
the cils aud find other homes Such a policy
by landlords will become ruinous 10 them
selves aud the city, and a voluntary reduction
of the present most exorbitant rents will be
gratefully received by tenants, and will in the
end, in our opinion, be a profitable invest
ment. 1t Is easy enough to placard little
cots, many OF which are only improved dry
goods boxes, with the glaring figures Of SO,
S25 and $50 each per month, bat !; is no, so
easy to hnd the " wherewith to procure re-
ceipts for those sums. 1t is safe thing
to say that when the working men are pros,
porous. the cityis prosperous and when they
are oppressed the local trade is correspond
! ingly depressed. In view Of this, we would
suggesi to landlords to voluntarily moderate
their rents for their own as well as the gener-
al interests. Besides paying rents the work
| ing men must have means to support their
families. many Of them large ones, in these
\ times OF fancy prices and when the load is
too great for them, landlords, as well as re.
tail dealers, are the first to feel the opp-es
sion aid to suffer from the effect. We hss
many complaints, and wsrningly appeal tC
the wisdom Of property holders. Blood can
not be pressed forth from turnips, neither
can moneyless men pay. Small salaries viii
not satisfy large demands, neither viii ar
obstinate persistence IN runious policy lead
to happy results We give these suggestions
only for what they are worth, not for bun
coube, but because we feel their truth, ant
would advise honestly what we believe for the
greatest good to the greatest number

From the West Chester JeGersonian
Negro VS.. Caucasian.

Our attention has been directed to the follow
ing remarkable passage from lecture recently
delivered by. Professor Agassz, of Boston,
There is nothing new in the statement that there
are radical differences of structure in the various
races of men. Science has long since settled tn
fact that the Caucasian and ihe Negro are two
species of the human family that are widely sep
arated from each other. But we did not know
that the opposing characteristics of the white and
black man were so numerous as they are said to be
by Professor Agassiz. His statement win be read
win interest, and he speaks with. authority that
is seldom or ever disputed either here on in
Europe:
II have pointed out over hundred specific
differences between the bonal and nervous sys-
TENS If the white man and the negro. Indeed,
their frames are alike in no particular. There
is not bone in the negroes body which is rea-
lively the same shape, size, articulation, or
chemically of the same imposition as that of the
white man. The negroes homes contain a far
greater per centage of calcareous salt than those
Of the white lnan even the negro's blood is
chemically very different fluid from that which
courses in the veins of the white man. The
whole physical organism of the negro differs
! quite rs much from the white man s as it does
from that of the chimpanzee, that is, i'll his bones,
muscles, nerves and Gbres, The chimpanzee has
not much further progress to become negro
IMAM negro has TO become whlte man Inns
fact science inexorably demonstrates. Climate
has no more TO do with the difference between
the negro and the chimpanzee, or than it has
between the horse and the ass, or the eagle and
the owl Each is distinct and separate ere
alton. The negro and white man were created
as different as the owl and the eagle. They
were designed to fill different plans in the sys-
TEN. The negro is no more negro by acct
dent or misfortune than the owl is the kind of
bird he is by accident or misfortune. The negro
is no more the white mans brother than the owl
is the sister of the eagle or the ass is the brother
of the horse. How stupendous, and yet how
simple is the doctrine that the Almighty Maker
of the universe has created inherent species of the
lower animals to fill the different places and Off
ceS in the grand scenery of nature ~

SuDDEN DEATH.-lt with more ,h'n ordinary
regret that we record the demise Of Miss Louisa
Shnltz, at her fathers residence, near franklin
linville, on Tuesday evening last. Miss Shultz
had lived in the family of A. II. Greenfield, Esq,
of this place, for several years, and was well and
fvorahly known as the affable and obliging
saeswoman in the store Of Mr.. Greenfield. She
had been on visit to her parents for the last
few days, and although not altogether well
when she left here, was not regarded as at ill Sc
riously indisposed. On Tuesday evening she
retired to her room, apparently in better health
than for several days previous, and nothing was
afterwards known of her. until in the morning,
when she was found dead. 1t is supposed that
death was caused by rnsli Of blood to the head.
Miss Shultz was universally respected for her
many virtues, and q iayorite with all her ac-
unaintances

Dir. BAGBY's LEcTURE.-The lecture of DR..
Bagby, at the Court House, on Wednesday even
ing, was very decided success. The audience
although not large, was decidedly appreciative
and intelligent. His amusing story of the hog
and the cabbage, and sketch of the true Vir, in
ian, were intrspersed with touches of pathos as
genuine as they were unexpected. "But the
lecture does more than merely amuse All
through it runs like silver thread, genuine
love and admiration Of odd Virginia, that
comes like warning and lesson TO the age
that is so rapidly ehacing her land marks
This lesson does not come in u heavy, didactic
style, or in the shape of an obvious moral at the
end but one feels when he has heard il, that
he has gathered from the whole something
TO remember" AT the close of the lecture
which, on account of the lateness of the hour,
was cut very short--a number of gentlemen
waited on the Doctor to induce him to repeat his
lecture, hut this was impossible, as his engage
ments are always made some time ahead. He
consented, however, to return here some time
early in the fall, when all who can should hear
him. He is an accomplished and educated man,
and speaker Of no ordinary merit.

SHIPMENT OF WHEAT TO CHIcAGo-Many stories
have been going the rounds Of late, about ship
ments of grain from the east and other places, to
do not seem to relish. The Tribune of that city
charges that these stories have been set afoat by
SPECTATORS, for the purpose Of affecting the grain
and flour markets. The following, taken from
an ex change, are the views of the Tribune in o
condensed form.
The Chicago Tribune regards the stories afloat
of shipments of wheat from California TO France
and back TO New York, and thence to the cities
of the Northwest as much exaggerated. Some
California flour, consisting of a few sacks, was
brought to Chicago, as a curiosity, and not, says
the Tribune, because of any deficiency in the
supply of that market. The present high ices
are only regarded as temporary and liable to
tumble at any moment. They are the result of
the combination ofspeculators upon exaggerated
statements of the scarcity ofbreadstutfs.
The ''corner" upon breadstufls has been sue
cessfully maintained much longer than the specu-
ulators expected /; but its time is nearly spent
Alilers buy no wheat at present prices, and sales
of flour are confined 10 retail dealers, to supply
the immediate wants of customers. Transactions
in wheat and -four, however they may be report
ed, are merely bettines upon the time that the
corner" Can be sustained. The fall sinevtable
and cannot be far distant. "Ifthere lie a farmer,
or miller, or any other person." says the paper
above referred to, "holdng any wheat OF flour
for further rise, such person Will have his eyes
opened very speedily"
On Thursday there was 10000 bushels Of
wheat and CT, 900 barrels OF -four in store in
Chicago. The daily receipts are fully equal to
the demand tor local consumption, and there is
no other demand now, and will be none until
the new crop comes in. Spectators are ready
to sell out, and their victims will be just that
class Of men who believe that the mills oil Roches
ter and Oswcgo are running on wheat imported
from Europe, and that Chicago is sending to CAL
ifornia for -four This is SO well understood
here that it is surprising TINT any person beyond
the city continues TO hold either wheat or -four
with the expectation Of an additional rise.

PORT DEPOSIT AFFARs.-We gather the fol-
lowing from the letter Of the Port Deposit cores
pondent of the Cecil Democrat:
The Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad is
now finished as far as Middletown, and we ex-
pect the cars TO run through town in few
days. Owing to various causes, this piece of
road has been delayed good deal, but Messrs.
lleckart 4 Keaveney having taken the contract
to finish it on the LIST ult., they have carried it
through with great vigor.
In one month they have moved an immense
amount of earth and rock, filled DOCKS graded
and laid down nearly mile of track with a great

been done, against much bad weather, great diff
fculty in getting grading material, &c.
