AN, EXTINCT RAcE.-One Of the most
remarkable races that ever inhabited the
earth is now extinct They were known as
Gaunehes, and were the aborigines Of the
Canary Islands. In the sixteenth century,
pesiilence,e slavery aud the cruelty oftthe
Spauiatds succeeded in totally exterminating
them.e They are described as having been
gigantic in stature, but of singularly mild
and gentle nature. Their food consisted Of
barley, wheat and goats milk, aud their
agriculture was of the rudest kind. They
had religion which taught them Ofa future
state of rewards and punishments after death,
and of good and evil spirits. They regarded
the volcano of Tenerife as punishment for
the bad. The bodies of their dead were
carefully embalmed and deposited in cata-
combs which still continue to be an object
of curiosity to those who visit the islands.
Their marriages we're very solemn, and be-
fore engaging in them the brides were fatten-
ed on milk.

TIME DOES Ir.-Time has a wonderful
power in taking the conceit out of persons.
When young man first emerges from the
schools and enters upon the career of life,
it is painfully amusing to witness bis self
suficiency-he would have all the world to
understand that he has learned out'-that
he is master of all knowledge and can unrsvel
all mysteries. But as he grows older, be
grows wiser, he learns that he knows great
deal less 'han be supposed be did, and by
the time he reaches to tbree-score years, he
is prepared to adopt as his own the senti-
ment of John Wesley: when was young
l was sure of everything; in a few years,
having been mistaken athousand times was
not half as sure of most things as was be-
fore. At present l am hardly sure of aOy.
thing but what God has revealed to man..

NEWSPAPER SPoNGEs. - An exchange
makes the following sensible remarks: There
are many people in the world who make it
business to sponge the reading of their
county paper without any expense to them
selves. This has often been noticed and
commented upon. They are found wher.
ever the paper is left-in shop, Office, store,
or BARRIERS shop-and often borrow it before
the owner has an opportunity of raising it
from the table. This is done BY very many
who are abundantly able and whose duty
would seem to be, to sustain their county
paper, by subscribing and paying for the
same.

The Public Debt,


The Democratic papers are bowling
about the last monthly exhibit OF the
Secretary of the Treasury, which
shows a small temporary increase of
the public debt, as compared with the
preceding month, mainly occasioned
~ the payment Of the semi annual in
terest on the bonds, the Russian pur-
chase, and several millions of ante
war bonds. The fact is that the
public debt has been reduced during
the past year, over seventeen millions
of dollars, as may be seen by the state
ment Of the Secretary of the Treasury
for the month OF July. This is at
the rate of over one million and
half Of dollars per month. Taxa ton
has been materially lightened, and
the interest on the debt largely re-
duced. Even with the enormous
frauds upon the revenue, practiced
by the Whisky Ring, and the alarm
ing oOrruptions of the JOHNSON ad-
ministration, the financial exhibit
is cheering; and with the election of
GRANT and CoLFAX, and the faithful
adherence to honor and honesty, we
may soon see the debt continue to de-
crease, and the burdens of taxation
still further lightened.

Of the best political speakers in the
country, the overwhelming and unan-
swerable exposition by that gentle
man in this city on Saturday night
of the shoddy character of the New
York platform, and his merciless dis
section of Mr.. Hendricks misrepre-
sen ations, operated most effectually
to dispel that delusion. By common
consent it is agreed to have been a
mastery speech. It had all the usual
force and logic OF the Governors
efforts, combined with the keenest
raillery and the most incisive sar-
casm. Governor Baker surpassed
himself on Saturday night, aud his
speech is the theme of universal

The FHRdlng Business.

The people are opposed to funding
the public debt for the reason that
1t fastens an enormous burden upon
the people in the way of interest with
out reducing the principal. Even at
the rate of four per cent. interest, the
people will have paid In interest in
forty years an amount double the
principal of the debt without dimin-
ishing it a dollar. In other words, at
the end of forty years the people will
have paid in interest about five thOus-
and millions, leaving the principal of
the debt, twenty-five hundred mill
ions, just as il was when the debt was
funded. The people are opposed to
this KIND Of tinancleriDg.-
opoEs Sentinel, Dem.
If the Democracy objects so stoutly
to funding a public debt bearing sic
and sereIa and three tenths per cent.
interest into loan bearing four per
cent, what shall be said Of the fnan-
cial policy of funding city orders.
which average about three Dey. cent
interest into a fuUored loan bearipo
Ten per cent. interest? Yet such i
the stupid folly of the new Demo-
cratic City Administration. 1t is an
outrageous wrong to the poor labor
ing men who were the holders of the
orders, (sold by them to the bond
spectators at a ruinous discount,
and fastening an enormous burden
upon the people in the way Of inter
est without reducing the principal y
for ten years to come.
