A CoLORED IDEA OF BusINEsS.-We find

for stealing cotton:

Massachusetts, and Maine.

Puzzled at the increase of children
among the foreign population of Massa
chusetts, and a corresponding decrease oil
the natives, DR.. Slower and other curious
investigators made dilligent efforts to I'M
ravel the mystery. Areport upon the sub.
ject revealed the presence o { social crime
such as aliases Puritan m orality below
that of the worst parts of Europe. But
Massachusetts, is not alone in this bad en-
inence. Maine is alongside of her. Mr..
Warren johnson, Superintendent of the
Maine Common Schools, reports decrease
of 1868 scholars between the ages OF
four and twenty-one years from the census
of 1858. The decrease in the past year
has been 1882; in 1854 it was 4,l4l, and
the total decrease from the maximum of
1860 is nearly 10000. Mr.. johnson is
shocked at the statistics and exclaiims:
Have we ceased to be a producing peo-
ple?" " Are the, vital forces expended in
brain labor and lost to physical reprOduc-
tion?" and, 4" Are the modern fashionable
criIninalties of iEfanticide and feticide
creeping into our State community ?"
We should think that MIR. Johnson's fig
ures are sufficient answers to his last in
terrogatory. 1t will be seen from the fol-
lowing conservation between Dom Piatt,
the Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, (Rad.). and an intelli-
gent delegate to the late Negro Conven-
ton, that the New England women have
impressed Dinah quite as disastrous as the
New England men have influenced Sambo.
Dom Piatt having asked his negro friend
if he had not bright anticipations of the
future of his race" this collaquy ensued !:
"No, sir; have no bright anticipa-
tons In q few generations the colored ,ra-
ces of America will have DISAPPEARED. We
have taken the vices with the virtues of
the stronger race, and they are fatal to u.s."
6" don't clearly understand you"
"Weil, sir, it is generally believed that
the black race is a hardy race. This is not
so. The average duration oflife, under the
whip, on the plantations, was only ten
years. The supply was kept up by the
masters care in breeding it being his in
while the mortality continues through dis
sipation, the increase through population
has fallen off painfully. On plantations,
and in neighborhoods where, before the
war, children swarmed almost, you scarce
ly find one now" r.r .Ir.T
Why, how do you account for that !?
What becomes of the children ?'
The mothers have learnt, from New
England, how to kill them. You know,
sir that New England 10 dying out from
lack Of Yankees, and the poor colored
people have not been slow to learn. But
while they receive fresh supply from en-
igration, the coiorod race has none.''

KANSAS PACIFIC RAILwAY.-It is the
purpose of this company to push their
road at once to Denver. A few days
ago we saw an advertisement i'm the st.
Louis Democrat for the contract to con-
struct the first division ofthis road from
Sheridan onward. in the n. y. Iiib-
une of the l4th instant; we notice the adj
Vertisement of two New York banking
Roases announcing that they were the
agents for the sale Of the bonds of this
company. The loan now on the mark
ct amounts toS6, 100000, payable 80 years
from date, with interest at per cent.
per annum in gold. They are placed
on the market at SO per cent, and are
secured by mortgage Oh the road to be
built, together with the Government
land graut of alternate sections for ten
nTilcs on each side of the ro4d. The
distance from Sheridan to Denver is
237 miles. We hope there will be moth
ing to prevent the company from push
ing this important line of railroad to
Denver without delay.

SEVERE srORMs.

Central Kansas and many Of the East
ern States have been visited with severe
storms within the last few weeks. We
published accounts Of the heavy rain
nils at Junction City and Paola. which
proved very destI uctiYe to life a1d
property. We now hear of another
storm at junction City. a dispatch to
the Commonwealth gives the following
particulars:
At this point and as far as can be
heard from III all directions. terrific
rain fell on the tight Of the 18th. COM
nIcncing about ii O'clock and continu-
ing until about day. During the fash
Is of lightning the entire surface pre-
scented the appearance of a sheet of wa
ter. The rivers rose rapidly, but not TO
so serious an extent as during the late
freshet. The temporary structure fffhtie
by the railroad company at Chapifiails
creek was carried off.
The track near Fort Riley is badly
damaged. This mornings mail train
going east returned to this place.
The rain fall at Fort Riley measured
five inches, or one and u half more than
OH the 18th of June.
The Leavenworfh CnH mentions a
storm that ragged with unwOnted fury
Ola the Missouri side of the river. 1t
states that in its reSistless course it par
lcyed not with obstacles, riotiBg in de-
structiOn and death as if it knew and
felt its power.
The Lawrence Tribune gives an ac-
count of a storm OH the night of the
18th that .'deluged the country rs far
south as Ottawa, and probably much
farther. though we have no reports from
beyond that point. The road bed of
the Galveston railway was very badly
washed all along the route, and in some
places immediate and extensive repairs
will have to be made before business
can be safely done on the line. Al a
culvert near Norwood the earth is EN-
'iircly washed away from beneath the
track at each end of the culvert and
numerous other breaks have occurred.
An engine was sent up to Lawrence at
night, and succeeded in getting through,
but OH its return trip got stalled abOut
two miles from Ottawa, and was obliged
to lay to- until daylight, which gave a
chance to make such temporary repairs
as 10 enable it to proceed.
sour informant represents the storm
as having been terribly violent, aud that
great damage was inflicted upon the
country generally. Old settlers upon
Coal and Wakarusa creeks say that no
such storm-espccially i'll the line of
fire-works-hasb been known since 1865.
Further east railroad bridges have
been washed away, telegraph lines
blown down and "a general destruction
of property. The accounts of these
storms are truly distressing and we are
glad that we have not been visited with
them.

PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.-From in
dications at the Treasury Department it
is believed the next public statement
will show another large reduction in the
public debt, though not near so large az
exhibited the first of the present month.
The receipts from customs and internal
revenue, is considered good for the
dull season. Estimating the receipts
and expenses of the Government for
the remainder of July on the basis of
what they have been to- the present date,
the statement on tire Ist of August will
show a reduction of upwards of five
millions dollars.
