EVERY day adds to the insults which
those who now rule in Mexico are offer.
ing to the people and the %governmen,
of the United States. There is evident.
ly a disposition to provoke a collision
on the part Of the leaders to-day in
Mexico, between their government and
the United States, while tho letter Of
Escobedo to Governor Gomez, of Nuevo
Leon, is especially bitter and insulting
towards the Yankees" as he calls the
people of the United States. His motto,
be says, is "Death to all strangers"
Aud he adds:
"Before we get through with the
foreigners, the Yankees will think we
are in earnest, and the time will come
when their notsbles will be begging for
their own heads, instead Of begging for
the Austrian
Language and doctrines like that used
and promulgated BY Escobedo will bring
republicanism to r~eproach in Mexico. He
is a curse to his country who aims at
embroiling it in difficulties with a nation
from which it has received only kind
ness and good example.

TIE BED OF THE 0cEAS.-It is stated
that soundings have been made in the
North Atlantic to so great an extent that
it is now possible to map out its bed
quite accurately. This ocean is a long
trough of varying depth, extending,
probably, from pole to pole. Its bed
follows the general structure Of the land.
Here and there rocky peaks, like that Of
Tenerife, or huge mountains of sand,
such as the Grand Banks Of Newfound-
land, reach up to or beyond the surface.
Between Ireland and Newfoundland
there exists a remarkable plain, known
as the tslsgraphic plateau, which is sv-
identity q continuation Of tho great wa.
tsrshsd which, between ATTITUDES 40
deg. north, surrounds the earth, and
divides the waters flowing north from
those flowing south.

DRUe PaEscRrPrroSs.-According to
the New York Commercial Adverti,er,
there is a growing feeling in that city
in opposition to the administration OF
drug poisons as remedies. 1t says the
people, unlike some physicians, do not
consider it sufficient to cure a disease
by killing the patient; and, if this con-
viction be q strong one in the case Of
properly, prescribed, prepared and ad-
ministered potions, how much stronger
is it in instances where mistakes are
made either in prescription or prepars-
tionI The Commercial claims that there
is no good reason why doctors pre-
scriptions should not be written in
plain English, "iustesd of the may
mixture of bastard Latin and zodiacal
signs that now makes the document a

LIxcoLN's vIHws.-on page 81 OF
Henry j. Raymond's life of Abraham
Lincoln, you will find the following
"Judge Douglas has said to you that
he has not been able to get from me an
answer to the question whether ] am in
favor Of negro citizenship. So far as l
know, the Judge never asked me the
question before. He shall have no &C.
cssion to ever ask it again, for l tell him
very frankly that I am not in favor Of
negro eitiztnshp."
He accused Douglas of manufacturing
opinions for him, and r%epudiated the idea
Of his disposition to produce an equality
between the negroes and the white peo-
pie. And on page 6s he adds:
"Now my opinion is that the differ
emit States have the power to make a
negro a citizen, under the Constitution
of tho United States, if they choose.
The bred. Scott decision decides that
they have not that power. If the State
Of illinois had that power I should be
opposed to the exercise of it,"
Upon these opinions Lincoln was
elected President Of the United States.
Il is we'll known that while he advocated
the gradual emancipation of the slaves
and the compensation to loyal owners,
he earnestly urged the policy of colon
izing the negroes either in Africa, or
Central America, or in the West Indies.
Congress placed at his disposal $500, 900
to be expended in colonizing them. The
plan failed. New Grenada objected to
their coming, and some of the agents
proved faithless and incompetent in
attempts to settle them elsewhere. But
Lincoln objected to their remaining in
this country. On pages sos and SOC Of
Raymond you fnd an account of an
interview between President Lincoln
and q committee Of colored men, on the
l4th day Of August, 1862. In urging
upon them the necessity of colonization
he said:
You and zoe are different races. We
have between US broader difference
than exists now between any other
two races. Whether it is right or wrong
I need not discuss; but. this physical
difference 10 a great disadvantage to US
both, as I think. Your race suffer very
greatly, many Of them BY living among
US, while ours suffer from your presence.
In q word, we suffer on each side. II
this Is admitted, it affords a reason, at
least, why we should be separated"

PRoPHRoIEs AND FORTUNE.
TELLING


One of the most innocent kinds Of for
tuuetelling is that connected with fore
telling the probable state of the wealth
err. In former days in Boston, we used
to be favored by philosophers who in
dulged in these predictions, and New
Yorck City was similarly favored for
many years by the sage Of Brooklyn
Heights. Since the death Of that we'll
known meteorological, q number OF per-
o n have aspired to wear his mantle,
but Zone Of them with very remarkable
success. There is n individual, how
ever, who takes holder flights than Mr..
Merriam did, and predicts the condition
Of the weather. for a whole month ahead.
1t happens, Of course, that he misses
the truth as often as he hits it, but ae-
cording to another of the philosophers
Of thi, class; that only makes it so much
the worse for the facts, and he goes on
with his predictions with tho Same vigor
az before. Thus, for example, the hor-
oscops for the first Of August was set
down in his calender to be a dry day
marked by "Aying clouds, with little or
no RAIN" but for the first Of August
will be remembered BY most people as
a dsy when the clouds did not fly much
in any direction. This philosopher also
casts the national horoscope, and he tells
US thsttho position ofthe heavenly bodies
towards the close Of the present month
of August, in connection with the
"baueful square of Saturn" indi-
Gates u great many fires in New York
and vicinity considerable activity among
the light-fngered gentry, together with
poisoning, murders, suicides, etc. These
are quite safe predictions to make, so
far as the city Of New Yorkis concerned
and could be just as easily made by any
school boy as by an assrologer. Au-
gust is generally q bad month Tor hres
everywhere throughout the country, be-
cause everything is dry, and is just the
month for the spontaneous combustion
Of cotton waste, oily rags and friction
matches. In large cities, it is also a
favorable time for thieves, for a great
many persons are in transit from place
to place, crowdiug the railway trains
aud the ticket-ofices, giving fine oppor-
t~unities for pickpockets; and, in conse-
quence Of the absence of families from
their houses, there 10 moro than the
usual risk of the robbery of dwellings.
As for ~poisouings, murders, suicides,
etc., they are, unfortunately, happening
all the time. So il will be seen that
this sstrologer deals in a very safe style
Of predictions when he gets away from
the weather. What he says has no sort
of value, and yet it is Of precisely the
same kind Of meaningless g%eneralities
that all fortune-telling is made up, and
by means Of which many people swim
died out of their money.
