A negro in Virginia is gradualty turning white. |
During the seven days fight around Richmond he |
observed small white spot on his arm. This has |
increased until one-third Of his body is white and
the akin EsoftSs an infants. He ought to hurry
and register before it is too late.
The Central Pacific Railroad Company have in
troduced 'snitro-glycerine" with great success in
blasting their way through the Sierra Nevada |
mountains. The nitro-glycerine is made in small
quantities on the spot, and thereby is avoided the
danger arising from its decomposition or fermenta-
tion. The difference in cost, and the greater re-

gate saving Of fully one-halt
TIE GEORGIA correspondent Of the New York
Times states that the worst effects have been pro-
duced upon the negroes by the harrsngues OF the
Northern politicians who have recently been
travelling through the Southern States. He says
they have got the idea, more or less widely, that

news from Mexico that cable dispatch from VI
emma last week stated that rumor was prevailing

MILAN in Mexico. Mexican news announce his
capture by JuAREz on the!!15th; and If the order
reported TO have been issued for his execution

if issued, it has been executed.
AMERICAN CITIZENS who hoped TO improve their
condition by going to Honduras, Mexico, Brazil,
Yenezuela, &C., are finding from costly experience
that they were under delusion. Many have a.

dismal account os things in Spanish Honduras,
furnished by an emigrant from that place, who is
glad to get home again. The land is very fertile,
but the climate is hot the inhabitants are but half
civilized, and the only system Of taxation knowni is
for every party in power to get all it can. This is
REPETITION OF the old story from similar adventu-
rers. There is no place like home.'

According tothe New York Herald, the RoBERTs
ring Of the Fenian organisation is making immense
preparations for another raid upon Canada. The
Fenlans in that city alone have already stored
away enough artillery and ammunition to equip
one hundred thousand men and supply them with
the material Of war for six months. The secret
arssals ara said TO be of the most deadly weapons
known s II to modern warfare. The arms thus col
lected have cost $500, 900 and the ammunition over
one million. The leaders Of the Fenian organiza-
ton now claim that the United States Government
have formed determination not to interfere In
any movements they may make against Canada
in future. Tho movements under the within few
weeks would seem to indicate demonstration

pressed thatathe parallel TO last year may be-
further carried ort, and that brought and insects
