INDEFINITE PosrpoNEMENr. AT

INDEFINITE PosTPoNEMENT.- The an-
aouneement that owing to the failure of the
statue of the Mexican monument to arrive
eu time, the commissioners having charge of
lhe dedieatory ceremonies, have decided to
indefinitely postpone the dedication. will be
received with regret throughout the State. A
large number of societies, FIRE compaaies and
military associations had made extensive ar
ra2Rements to participate. The cause of the
delay in receiving the statue, is owing to
disaster which occurred to the steamer Oh
which it was shipped from Italy.

PROSPEROUS sSfs.TE-Incredible as the
statement may appear, there is one State IN
the Union not only out Of debt, but with
about 100000 surplus. Stranger still,
this State is Western State-1owa. 1t has

TIE GREAT FIRE IN AFRICA.-The cable
announces fire in Africa Of dimensions
sufficient to warm Siberia. Five hundred
miles by one hundred and fifty have been
burned in the southern part; and though
not announced, it is safe to infer that griiled
monkey, roast sprink box and harte beest,
stewed snakes and par bold elephants, may
be found there or thereabouts in e1traordi-
nary profusion. If the incendiarism is in
the region Of the Basutos and Beers, it is
to be hoped that both have had fair taste
of the elements-particularly the Beers. So
tremendous confagration as this is repor-
ted to have been is almost if not altogether
unprecedented Its importance may be
defined when we know more exactly where

SPANISH CRUELTY.--The blood thirsty
disposition displayed by the Spanish troops
in the capture OF the British schooner jeff
Davis has attracted the attention of the En-
glish to the practices countenanced by Gen.
Dulce. The JEFF Davis was captured in the
old Bahama channel because she had on
board FIVE Cubans who were endeavoring to
reach Nassau. Two of the passengers were
wealthy. They were surrounded by mob
of volunteers and deliberately murdered in
the presence OF their families, pistols, guns,
bayonets and knives, being brought into play
to satisfy the passions of the volunteers.
The Captain and crew are still in prison. The
outrage will cost the Spaniards more than
they can afford 10 pay.

The Public Debt Exhibit.

The statement of The public debt just is
sued, differs from that of last month in con-
tanning full details instead of consolidated
items as heretofore. The present statement
shows that the aggregate debt bearing coin
interest to be 81, l07. $40, $50; debt bearing
interest in lawful money, SOS, COS, 600 ag-
gregate of matured debt not presented for
payment, 6,003,403; debt bearing no in
terest 4l4,4l3,4S5. Total debt, principal

Tha Indians.

General Butler, in letter to the Chicago
Tribune, says that he proposes to treat the
Indians as wards of the nation. as denizens
of our soil, with right OF occupancy only
TO such part as we may assign them. Mass
achusetts has always treated the Indians
within her borders in that way, and She has
had no trouble, nor has she ever asked any
aid from the General Government. he re-
marks that nothing can demonstrate the fact
of the utter iucapacity and hopelessness OF
our Indian system--or rather want of sys-
tem-than to say. on the Northern side OF
the indefnable line which divides us from
British America, there has never been a
war, or treaty, or a substantial subsidy
and on the southern side of the line, which
divides us from Mexico, the same is true
and in Alaska the Russian Government have
never had any difficulty with the Indians,
but no sooner do we raise our flag than there
trouble, the Indians and whites at logger,
heads, and blood flows on the frontier.

to be going out of vogue. Our japanese
correspondent says that the bend has been
in fashion in Japan for four centuries. The
spinal curve had its origin in the custom
which Japanese ladies have of carrying their
babies on their backs, and the panier had its
origin in the broad silk girdle which is swath-
ed several times around the waist and fast
ened in large bunch behind. 1t will thus
be seen that our American ladies' never fully
carried out the japanese iasbion-they have
never appeared with the baby" which
