"Last week we had occasion to buy q

American felt, which was offered at
four dollars on Broadway, was offered
for three on Sixth Avenue, and two
stores higher up AT two. Did any law
of morals compel us to pay four dollars
for what was scarcely worth twoH The
wreath which finally trimmed the hat
was offered, within tho limits OF one
block, at every price from six dollars
TO three" We know a lady who was
asked in Broadway, seven dollars for a
ten kettle, tho like of which she
bought. in the Third avenue for three
dollars.

been made, that he had declared the 5-20s

The quotation charged against him was
taken in part from debateion an entirely
different bill. and had no reference to the
$40 bonds. The debate was upon the legal
tender notes, the interest upon which was
to be paid in currency, and the question
about payment in gold did not come up
until some time afterward, in a committee
of conference. He never made speech of
the kind attributed to him, on the gold

A NATURAL MUMMY has been discovered
at Possession Island, in Saldanna Bay, near
to Ichaboe, on the southern coast of Afri-
ca, and has been brought to England. The
mummy is that of a negro, apparently
about twenty-five years of age, length,
five feet ten inches. The body, which was
found in coffin, is entirely perfect, and,
unlike the Egyptian mummies, the skin
has not suffered the least incision; the teeth
are perfect set, and every one in its re-
spective socket, and as firmly imbedded in
their proper position, as when in life; the
hair in the head is also quite perfect. The
subject had received the rites of sepulture,
the jaws being bound up, and the great
toes tied together. The hands are
crossed upon the body, just below
the breast, and what is very extraor-
binary, the shirt is in perfect preservation,
without adhering to the mummy. The
present specimen is in far more perfect
state than the shrivelled and dried Egyp-
which is of common pine, has been per-
fectly ''kyanised," to use a perhaps not
very proper, but modern term. Every fibre
is perfect and durable; but while the wood
has increased in weight fourfold, the num-
nv has decreased in equal proportion
The cloth retains its pliability, and is prob
ably of the original weight. The coffin was
found imbedded in guano, about four feet
from the surface, and an inscription, which
unfortunately has not come into the Dos
session of the owners, is stated to have
shown the date of interlnent to have been
