seryation, the mortality among the negroes had
greatly increased since they were emancipated,
and this increase resulted from insufficient food
and clothing, poor shelter and carelessness and
lack OF judgment in tending gtheyoungan nurs-
ing the sick. Pulmonary complaints, formerly
almost unknown, had become prevalent and
fatal He discussed Darwin's theory of thestrug-
gle for life. and maintained that its truth would
6e strikingly illustrated on this continent by
the gradual disappearance of the negroes, who,
now that they are brought into active compe-
tition with the whites, must inevitably perish
according to the law Of nature, which preserves
only the strong and vigorous races. In the
DAYS of slavery" he said, SIT was for the inter,
est of the white men that the negroes should
increase in numbers, There was, therefore, no
struggle between the two races the stronger,
ON the contrary, aided and protected the weak
er. Now the case is changed and, with all the
feeling of kindness we have for the negroes, and
our unwillingness to see them suffer, the ag-
pressive energy of the Anglo Saxon race will
push them out of existence"
The Colonel thought that, as the negro race
disappeared, new and vigorous civilization
would spring up in the South that would lead

some one to present the claims and necessities

How NITRO GLYcERINE IS MADE.-Thls
wonderful explosive was discovered in
1S47, by an Italian named Soboro, but
it's practical application was made by
Alfred Noble, a Swedish engineer. The
process by which it is made is thus
described: Every one knows what gly-
cerine is-a clear syruppy liquid, sweet
to the taste and somewhat greasy to
the touch. It's scope of employment
ranges from the surgeons dispensary
to the ladies boudoir. Chemists term
it traitomic alcohol, and it may be de-
rived from fat or tallow by action of
lime and sulphuric acid. It's proper
ties are many and various, but as they
have no bearing upon the present sub
ject we shall abstain from noticing
them. If quantity of nitric acid be
added to twice it's weight of sulphuric
acid, glycerine be poured into this, and
stirred carefully, the whole being sur
rounded by freezing mixture, we OBJ
tain that wonderful substance known
as nitro-glycerine, which has more than
ten times the explosive force of gun
powder. 1t forms on the surface as an
oil of a pale yellow color, is perfectly
inodorous, and has sweet aromatic
taste. 1t is poisonous whether taken
internally or absorbed through the skin,
and small doses of it produce distress
ing headaches. 1t does not explode
when brought in contact with fire, and
remains unchanged even when raised
to temperature of boiling water; but
at about forty degrees Fahrenheit it be-
comes converted into an icy mass, which
merely requires friction to develop all
its explosive qualities.

MODERN ExTRAvAGANcE.-T Lon
don Spectator, in commenting upon the in
creasing extravaganza exhibited among
wealthy people at the present day, makes
some remarks as good for this latitude,
as for England, as follows;
at is coming rapidly to this-that a
first-class leader of society with a first
class fortune, to be 'on level with his
position wants or chooses to think he
wants, house in London, house on
the river, two palaces at least in the
country, shooting-box in the High
lands, hotel in Paris as costly as his
London house, villa at Como, floor
in Rome, an establishment in Cairo or
Constantine, yatch, a theatre, and a
racing stud, and then thinks that life is
as monotonous as it was when Sin his

Connolly to resign, whereupon Connolly
retorts that he won't, and says that what
ever his acts as treasurer may have been,

answer for their conduct, if not in the
courts, certainly at the hands of the
people at the next election.

We regret to learn of painful disas-
ter which has occurred this week on
Salt River. A boat Of California dem
ocrats being heavily loaded with both
the " new departure" and the "heathen
chinee, were unable to make full time,
and were overtaken and run into by an
other boat of Maine democrats (who had
only the "new departure on board).
The California boat was telescoped by
the Maine boat, and both were so badly
injured that the passengers all instantly
made new departure for the bottom OF
the river. From there we are glad to
learn most of them happily made their
escape to the shore of each bank, and al
last accounts were engaged in collecting
timber and material for another bark
which it was hoped would be ready fol
another departure in 1872.

The LAST DODGE OF THE RING.-
Deputy Controller Storrs Of New York
city, discovered Monday morning that
the doors of the cases and shelves in the
county bureau, in which We're deposited
all the vouchers for bills paid by the
controller in 1870, had been opened by
some unknown persons, and that thir-
teen packages of receipts for several mil
lion dollars during 1869 and 1870 had
been stolen. The private night watch
man and the police patrol about the
matter till 8 o'clock in the morning,
when the robbery was discovered by the
janitor. The door of the cabinet con-
tanning the receipts was forced open
with a jimmy. A list of the stolen pa
pers will be prepared at once, and de-
tectives are already at work for the dis
covery of the thieves.

A STRANGE SUBSTITUTE FOR IRON
Paper, which formerly was only used
for printing, writing and other purposes
consistent with its pulpy material, is now
employed for entirely opposite purposes,
where strength and tenacity are essential.
The latest and most unlikely use to
which it has been turned is the manufac-
ture of railroad car-wheels. An inven-
ton has been made by which disks of
paper, after being subjected to heavy
pressure, are rendered strong and solid,
and being fitted with steel tire, have
all the requisites for this important pur-
pose.

THE TANIMANY FRAUDS. The people
of New York city are taking legal meas
ures to secure, if possible, part of the
money stolen by the Tammany thieves,
and as great as the robbery has proved
to be, it seems that even yet the whole
has not been told. 1t is now openly as
serted that, in addition to the millions of
which they have plundered the treasury
they have increased the city debt many
millions more than any published state
ment hitherto given, and that instead of
an Indebtedness of s125,000,000, New
York city owes round 100000, 000.-
No wonder property holders are getting
alarmed, and that associations are being
formed to secure if possible some of the
ill-gottcn gains of the ring robbers.

Animal creation is imbued with a won
derful power, known as instinct, which
in many cases stands them in better stead
than even the reasoning powers do man.
The horses of the great Mississippi Val
ley unerringly sought out weed of the
prairies when afflicted with heaves. A
professional gentleman of Boston, rec
ognizing this fact, compounded the Pra-
irie Weed Balm for inhalation in cases of
cough, cold or other diseases of the lungs.
A long test renders its recommendation

complaints duty. Used with Prairie
Weed Balsam, it has gained host of
