THERE is no denying that our
luxuries are rapidly on the in.
crease, and that the ingenuity Of
man, constantly taxed to invent
them, is achieving wonders. What
the list Of luxuries will present
for the convenience and enjoy
ment of our grandchildren, puz.
zles the imagination. A philoso-
phical writer asks:
"Will experimenters succeed at
last in manufacturing pears and
peaches out OF their elementary
ingredients, so that fresh fruit
may be made to order in midwin-
ter? Will balloons be regulated,
and air travelling rendered practi.
cable, so that each man shall keep
q balloon hitched to q stake by
his doorstep, and horses and
boats thereafter be supertluOus
Will one immense Drummond
light, from a lofty tower, illumi'
nate the city at night, and one
vast umbrella, swung along, shade
it by day."
AS to a beneficial system o.
practical Rrial navigation, we have
no doubt that will be achieved
and the method of lighting a city
alluded to above, has been declar
ed feasible by men Of science.

THE INDIANS DIsGUsTED.- The
ridiculous display made at the in
stance of Secretary Fish in the
White House, before Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail, seems to have
filed the aboriginal mind with
boundless contempt for their Great
Father, and they have returned to
their native wilderness determined
to fight him to the bitter end.
These grim chieftains of an exas-
perated and ferocious race came to
washington to lay their grievances
before the President. Instead of
being received in manly way, they
were treated to strawberries and
icecream, and to the sight of fash
ionable dowagers and gaping aliens.
They left the White House in dis.
gust, determined to make war upon
the whites, whose unseemly exhibit
ton in the national wigwam seemed
like a farce and q mockery to their
savage feelings.
Gen. Grants Indian policy must
be consigned to the same grave
which already contains the decay.
ing relics of his English, st. Do,
mingO, and Cuban policy.

fares, visit the towns and cities,
view the beautiful country, be-
come acquainted with the people
and partake Of their hospitalities.

represented, there could be no

VLLANous SALTPETRE.-The
fighting material of the European
powers is estimated as follows:
France has 4l4,632 soldiers on
the peace footing, 647,271 Of a
field army, or 1850, 900 for her en-
tire war strength. Austria has
27S,470 men on the peace estab-
lishment and S3S,700 men for her
full war strength. Prussia has
726, 900 on peace and 1855, 900 on
a war footing. North Germany
has 3l5,527 ON the peace and 944,.
32l on the war lists, while the to-
tai war force of Italy is put at
573,72l. What q force to slaugh-
ter can be brought into the field at
the command of but one man. As
to the combinations that have been
or will be made no one here can
know. In the above estimate the
warlike forces of Russia, Spain,
England, Belgium and Holland
are not included, but there is food
enough for powder to satisfy the
bloodthirsty spirit Of one or more
despots.

TIE Citizens Meeting regarding
the cut of, took place last night.
r. s. Buck, Esq., was called to the
chair, and Captain J. n. searles,
selected Secretary. The city char
ter was the first question to dis
cuss, which was OverFuled, when
the "cut Of" question was taken
up. The following resolutions
were offered by Judge Springer:
Resolved, That IL is the sense Of
this meeting that the best interests
Of ViCksbnrg render 1t absolutely
essential, that the spprehended cut
of, on the Louisiana shore, should
be prevented by any practicable
means available to that end.
Resolved further, That II 10 the
sense Of this meeting that the dan.
ger which II is apprehended, will
result from Q cut of on the Louisi-
lana shore, can be best remedied by
diverting the Mississippi river from
9 point at or near Paw Paw island,
and bringing the water TO the bend
Immediately above Vicksburg.
Passed.
Resolved, That the City Council
be requested TO employ Q surveyor
to make such surveys % may be
necessary TO the acquisition Ofsuch
data a. will be sufficient to q de-
cislOn regarding the cut of Of the
Mississippi river, as spoken Of In Q
former resolution. Amended.
Resolved, that this meeting re-
commend Mr.. Searles as the sur
veyOr, eassed.
Resolved, That q committee OF
five be appointed BY the chairman
Of this meeting, TO memorabilia
Congress and the State Legislature,
for any appropriation necessary to
aid In preventing Vicksbnrg from
being cut of from main channel Of
river, passed.
The following resolution was In
trOduced BY Judge Springer and
lost:
That the City Council be request
ed TO appropriate the sum Of $780,
| 900, either by taxation or otherwise
for the purpose Of the cut of a
mentioned in former resolutions
and that such appropriations b'
made by the 1st Of next October.
Judge COwan made Q few strin
gent remarks regarding the City
charter, recognizing 1t as a bill tina
was in direct violation Of the wish
es of the tax paying citizens o
Vicksburg, oppressive, onerOus, II
all its features, and concluded b,
introducing the following resOlu
ton:
Resolved, That o committee Q
five be appointed to prepare forth
with q petition to the Governor Q
this State, requesting him TO vet
the amended charter of Vicksburl
passed by the Legislature.
The following gentlemen wer
placed upon that committee:
Warren COwan; A. Burwell
: ThOmaV HaCkett; Owen McGarI
w. A. RirChild ; Il. 8. Buck.
The meeting then adjourned.

A COOL way of plundering the
Government of its lands was ven.
tilated July 9, in the House by
Mr.. Julian Rep. of Indiana, who
showed how, under the swamp
land act, lands have been survey
ed, after a Jreshet, and millions
of acres have thus gone into the
clutches of the State authorities
to be dealt out to speculators.-
Arkansas, Mississippi, and Lou
isiana had thus got hold of 2S,OOO,-
600 acres. The way in which the
swamp act is carried out just now
is reported as a huge, frightful
conspiracy against civilization and
the rights Of the people. The
Radicals have already told so
many facts of each others "con-
spiracy," ''robbery," &C., that by.
and-by Il may be presumed the
eyes of the people win be wide
open to the facts II the oase.

VIvIsEcTIoN.-London has re-
Gently been excited by an incident
at first supposed to be horrible.
The rumor was that a negro had
bee naayed, and the adherents Of
Exeter Hall we're all on fire. A
white child had been accidentally
burned, and Mr.. Geo. Pollock, of
st. Georges Hospital, London,
cut q bit Of skin from the shoulder
Of a negro and applied to the burnt
part Of the child. The operation
was successful-the negro bit of
skin adhered and became q part of
the skin of the white child. Here
upon it was reported that q poor
black man was fayed against his
will, and that the surgeon intend
ed to change the child into a ne
gro, despite the wishes of its par
ents. So great was the excitement
that the London papers had to
make full explanations.
The negro was paid sovereign
for the bit of skin, which he parted
with cheerfully, and would like to
part with all his cuticle at the
same rate per bit; but the surgeon
had no idea of changing, in out.
ward appearance, q Caucasian into
On African except to the extent Of
q spot of less than q pea in size
The experiment is valuable, and
suggests q new form Of miscege
nation. The skin of a negro un
d. the hands Of q skillful opera
tor, can be taken off and grated
upon the body Of a white person
or the reverse, thus enabling tht
Radical to change his complexion
or If we cannot change the spot
Of the leopard, good Republican
can be made as spotted as III
leopard. This information Is val
uable to all Office seekers Of th
dominant party

TIE tax on "gross receipts v
which has been taken of, in order
that the income tax might be kept
on, yields about S6,300,000. 1t
