Camden Affairs.

The store of Messrs. George Brewer & Co.,
in Camden, situated on Market street, below
Front, was entered by burglars on Wednesday
morning, who, after ransacklng several desks
and drawers blew open the sale with guupow-
der, and succeeded in securing about one hun
dred and fifty dollars.
AT an early hour on Wednesday morning
some venturesome burglar broke into the Office
of Mr.. Scull on Taylor avenue below Second
street, but only got one dollar to reward his
exertlons. MIR. Scull had lelt his safe unlocked,
so that burglars might not do any damage in
blowing it open.
One hundred and ninety building permits

hundred more will be issued before the season

John Lubbock. Some of the specimens OF the
finer quality are of exquisite skill and workman
ship. They are of porphyry, horneblende,
granite, serpentine, nephrite, and the hardest
varieties of amphabolie rock.
zone Of the most interesting classes Is agri-
cultural. They are unlike any implements or
utensils in STORE found In the Chic valley, or
any other part of the country. They were un-
doubtedly used in tilling the soil. One repre-
sents the modern hoe, and our domestic imple-
ment rs but little improvement on that of the
mound builders. specimen before me is of
limpir quartz, of faultless workmanship. Their
smaller quartz weapons are very fine, ranging
from the common horn stone up through all the
varieties to the present chalcedony. The celts
or axes represent an extensive class, and are OF
almost every style and finish. Some are very
large, weighing over ten pounds. A granite
implement far surpasses these in size, some
weighing over twenty-five pounds. The use of
this was probably to dress hides or crush corn.
Their mortaTs and pestles have been recovered
their pipes, discs and porpbyrytic rings for games.
"The household gods-tdres and pendtes Of
people forever lost-are among the contents
of mounds added to the fine collection OF
early art which | have made in this
interesting region.
''The ornaments with which they decorated
their persons, the weapons with which they
fought, the implements with which they slew
their game, and the vessels with which their
domestic board was served with viands, have all
been recovered, with a large number OF miscel-
laneous articles in stone, which constitute,
with those from other antiquarian localities,
one of the most extensive and valuable collec-
tiOns of early American art yet made.
zone object sought ID these researches is to
make full collection of ancient art, represent
ing the archaeology of the northern division o1

There is no one substantial reason
for continuing the existence OF the

osynary feature has given way to Il
wholly partisan purpose, and the aus
pcnsing of charity 10y millions to oilers
and voluntary Migrants is made sub
scryicnt to the plan iol making Rad''
cal voters. II this machinery is to be
run any longer it will be only to oper-

Will the people Of the North submit
any longer to pay the costot SO g'9hn-
tic q piece of party machinery! AS
it works now, those who are brought
out for political support at the South
are mainly from the host attached TO
the Bureau. They dispense so much
food for 50 many votes, and the North
pays for the food. Such hanSers-on
can know nothing Of the wants OF the
Southern people, nor care to discover
the most ciiectual mode of eXtlcatlng
them from their misiortuncs. with
this Bureau machinery in their hands,

An Idea of Progress.

1t is talked of seriously to form a
company in the United States for the
purpose of selling motive power, trans
mitled by compressed air in iron tubes
from 4 central focus to any machine
shop or manufacturing establishment
in any part Of Of a great city. 1t Is
contended that such motive power is
equal to any other now in use, and can
he transmitted to almost any given poin;
like gas or water. This idea it practi-
cally developed to the anticipated cx
tent, would cause an immense amount
of work now doue by hand to be done
by machinery. 1t woul reduce the cost
Of machine labor One-half, cause tall
chimneys and steam engines to disap
pear, reduce the danger Of explosions
to comparative naught, and be of great
advantage in n sanitary aspect. The
idea originated in France.-N Y. En-

The Mixture Of Races.

From Prof. Agassix' Work on BRAZIL
"Let any one who doubts the ey'l OF
this mixture OF races, and is, inclined,
from a mistaken philanthropy to break
down all varriers between them, come
to Brazil. lie cannot deny the deter
ioration consequent upon an amaiga'
nation of races more widespread here
than in any other country in the word,
and which is rapidly etlacing the best
qualities of the white man, the negro
and the Indian, leaving a mongrcI, non,
descript type, deficient in physical ana
mental energy. At time when inc
new social status of the negro is a sun

%perience of a country where though
slavery exists, there is far more liberal
ity towards the free ncgr.y than he mas
ever enjoyed in the United States Lc'
MS learn the double lesson: open all the
advantages of education to the negro
and give him every chance OF success
which cultivation given to til" maj
who knows how to use it but respects
the laws Of nature and let all our deal
iuos with the black men tend to pre-
serve, as far as possible the distinct
ness OF his national characteristics, an'
the integrity Of our own
