sUEz CANAL.

An official report lately published,
gives a statement of the business
of the canal since it was opened in
November,1S69. From it we learn
that during the Year 1870, 491 yes
sells passed from ocean to ocean with
a total tonnage of 436,61S tons. OF
this number 319 were British vessels,
Is French, so Turkish and Egyp-
tian. and 26 Austrian. Russia,
Greece, Denmark and the United
States each sent one. Since May,
1870, registers of the time of entry
and exit have been kept, and they
show the average time consumed in
passing through the canal to be a
little less than forty eight hours. In
many cases this time has been con
siderably reduced. The French
steamer HoOgly, for example, a YES
sci of LII tons burden, drawing
twenty feet of water, passed through
in July on her way from China to
Marsailles in twenty-six hours. Sail
ing ships are towed through with
out difficulty in from two to three
days. The largest vessels which
passed through in 1870 were the
Jumna, transport, of 5000 tons bur
den and eighteen feet draught, and
the Delaware, Bombay packet and
cotton steamer, of 1857 tons burden
and twenty-one feet draught. When
first opened the canal had only six
teen feet of water, which has since
been deepened sufficiently to allow
the passage of vessels drawing TWEEN
ty-one feet. The transportation ot
cotton and tea steadily increased du-
ring 1870, the statistics showing that
for the year 39,3O0 tons of the for
mer and 1926 tons Of the latter
passed through. Thereport furnish
es good ground for believing that
the canal, which it was feared would
prove a failure, will become one OF
the great commercial thoroughfares
in the world.

what Girls shonld Drink

am astonished that a young wo-
man who is ambitious of a clear, fine
skin, should drink strong tea. 1t is
a great enemy to fair complexion.
Wine, coffee and cocoa may be used
without tinging the skin; but as
soon as tea-drinking becomes s reg
ular habit, the eye Of the discrimina-
ting observer detects it in the skin.
Tea compromises the complexion,
probably, by deranging the liver.
Weak tea or coffee may be used oc-
casionally in moderate quantities
without harm; and those who live
much in the open air, and are Occu-
pied with hard work, may drink
either in considerable quantities
without noticeable harm, But 1
would advise all young women, who
would preserve q soft, clear skin, and
quite nerves, to avoid all drinks but
cold Water.-ErcbaRge.

San Domingo.

Our late news from San Domingo has
taken sudden turn, and the 'sNO An
neXation" party appear in such start
ling attitude, that we are half inclined
to believe there is but little fany truth
in the statements received. We do not
proposed to enter into any argument
on the improbabilities connected with
these rumOrs. But be they true or un-
true, we have little doubt that an in
tluence foreign to the general voice of
San Domingo is at work, in exciting
this disturbance. Cabral has found a
convert in the shape of one Luperon, a
dominican General, who has deserted
the cause of Baez and gone over to the
enemy. 1t is not the first time such
men have been discovered, but as we
do not hear Ofhim taking ganybOdy with
him, and as we have q faint idea of the
gallant Dominican in cap and spurs ten
dering his individual services to the
commander of a handful of men, we
are unable to feel much anxiety, so far
as this one act is concerned, about the
popular desires of the San Domingo
people for annexation. But we regard
their desires as but q small part OF the
query whether San Domingo shall be
annexed. OF course if they do not
want annexation that should end the
matter. But even if they do want it,
there is much more than that eLe fact
to be ascertained. One other inquiry
that should be made is, does the United
States want Pittsburgh Gazette.

Some curious fellow figures out that
six million hours each day are wasted
by the women of the United States in
in lacing and unlacing their CATERS.
At the low estimate of one cent an
hour this waste of time of aggregates
eighteen million seven hundred and
eighty thousand dollars year. To get
rid of this he calls upon the inventive
genius of the country to give us some
thing for the ladies, that will be both
trim and neat and save this waste of
time and dispense with a great bother.
The amusement so long indulged in
by Boards of Education, of annually
changing school books for the benefit
fo Publishers, has been curtailed lit
tie by the Legislature by the passage of
a law confining that recreation to once
in two years. This will be quite re-
lief to school book buyers.

Destructive Fire at Portsmouth, O.
Loss 100000,
PORTSNOUTH O. Ms

PORTSMOUTH, O., March 6.
About two o'clock this morning a
fire broke out i'm the rear of Eberhardt's
on Market street, which
destroyed one of the most valuable por-
tions of the city. The Taylor House
was entirely destroyed. Eberhardt's
and the whole of the massive
block, in which were Flanders & Nor
gan's clothing house, Yoaklie's music
store, Valley Book Store, Thomas Dugan
& Co.'S bank, and the, Times newspaper
office. TimmOnds' grocery, on Front
Street; Renhardt's wholesale confec-
tionery, Limn's livery stable, and sew
eral other buildings, were consumed. =
The entire square between Market
street and the alley west of it is heap
of ruins, except Wise's clothing store.
1t is the most destructive fire with
which Portsmouth was ever Visited
The total loss will probably reach two
thousand dollars, with an in
surance of only thirty or forty thousand
dollars. Numerous narrow escapes
were made, but no lives were lost. The
origin of the fire is not known, but
there are suspicious of incendiarism..

position of Chief attorney for the Nor

Ex-senator Revels has shown more

Ex-senator Revels has shown more
prudence and modesty than many
Senators anu would-be Senators of
fairer complexion. Gov. Alcorn, of
Mississippi, has for some reason declin-
ed to leave the Governorship for the
SenatOrship to which he was elected,
and new election for Senator is an
nounced for the 18th inst. Ex-senator
Revels has been mentioned as one of
the available candidates for the Repub-
iican vote, and he has been urged to go
down to Mississippi to look after his
political interests. He refuses to do so
saying that whilst he would feel highly
hOnored and gratified if the Republi-
cans of Mississippi should return him
to the Senate, it would be improper for
him to attempt to influence them so to
do by making personal appeals and
pledges to the members of the legisla-
ture. Under the circumstances he said
he felt it his duty to remain away from
Mississippi until after the contest is de-
cided, SO that it cannot be said hereaf-
ter that he tried to influence the Leeis-
lature in his own interest.
1t is not surprising that the Wash
ington politicians "are good deal
puzzled over the action of Mr.. Revels."
His course is a violation of all prece-
dent. , sd ~

confined to these States. They are
commonly ascribed to that blood thirsty
ASSOCIATION of robbers and mur(lererS
known as the Ku-Klux-Klan.
But to aScribe atrocities like these tn
a particular band of Williams that has
been organized i'm the South, is not an
explanation which can be accepted as
sufficient. How is it that such an affiIi-
alton of savages is permitted to exist in
the South? 1t is SOLELY because sonth-
ern society grants it a sufferance, be-
cause southern public opinion does not
Drana It's crimes with its reprObation,
but indirectly connives at them, and
sometimes even apologies for them.
When several Englishmen, last sum-
mer, We're captured, and afterwards
murdered, by band of brigands i'm
tne mountains of Greece, the whole
Greek people, and their Government
were held responsible for the crime.
This was on the principle that brigands
could not carry on such operations ex-
cept with the implied consent of the
population and the Government. So it
Is In those parts of the South, where
the outrages to which we have referred
are 50 frequently perpetated. The root
of the whole evil is In the low tone of
public opinion, and in the inferior civ
ilization which prevails SO widely,
especially among the country popula-
tion of the South; and Kentucky. we
are sorry to be obliged to believe, par
takes very largely of the. same char
acter.
What to do for the repression of these
atrocities appears to be a matter of no
little concern, both with the President
and Congress- If it were possible to
punish whole communitie., the best
thing that could be done would seem to
be to visit the consequences on the
State themselves. But this appears to
be impracticable, though not only these
States, but the whole South, are sure to
suffer very heavily in all their interests
on account of the existing state of af-
fairs. The crimes and brutalities in
question have sort of connection with
the late rebellion, and hence the local
authorities continually appeal to the
general government for assistance, on
the ground that they are themselves
unable to repress them. 1t seems,
therefore, that there is nothing to be
done but for the President to employ
the army of the United States for pre-
venting disorders in the south, Just as
he does among the savages of the far
west. Everybody will rejoice, however,
if this can be avoided.

A Fight with Indians Fourteen
ApacheS Killed.

By the last evenings southern coach
we received hasty note, mailed lust
as the coach was leaving La Mesilla, in
forming us that the Silver Citysettlers,
having become hostile over the repeat
ed depredations of the Apaches, organi-
zed party under the command of
Capt. John Bullard, one of the best In
dian fighetrs in Grant county, and start
ed in pursuit of the last marauding
gang. After a fatiguing marchsthey
came up with the red devils in the vi
cinity of the Apache Pass mountains,
and severe fight ensued, resulting i'm
the killing of fourteen Indians and the
wounding of many more. None of the
attacking party were seriously injured,
though number received slight
wounds. \ considerable amount of
stock was recovered. The news was
brought to La Mesilla by the Tucson
coach. A few such lessons may teach
the Apaches that government rations
and reservations are better than cutting
around loose.

Outragcs in the South.
From the Providence Journal !

From the Providence Journal
The facts which have lately been
brought to the attention of the govern
ment relating to the condition of the
South go very far towards confirming
all that has been said about two kinds
of civilization among the American
people. Law seems to command no
respect in several of the Southern
States, and the consequence is that
there is no security for life or property.
1t is not that every man is murdered
or robbed, or, in strict sense, liable to
be either murdered or robbed. But it
is that if a man escapes these outrages,
he owes his immunity to something
else than respect for his right and the
protection of the law. Let him but
announce certain opinions on the ethical
or political questions of the day, and
his immunity will very soon cease. He
will be straightway- exposed to any
outrage which savage passions may
prompt. He will be no more safe than
he would be among the Indians on the
Western plains. Even among these
he might live without nolestation, but
he would continually feel that he was
entirely without guarantee for his safe
ty and subject to barbarian caprices.
This is just about the condition in
which a man of northern origin now
finds himself in some parts Ofthe south.
His origin makes him subject of sus-
picion, his prosperity may provoke
envy, his higher intelligence and char
acter are pretty likely to awaken hos
tility, and if he chances to hold an office
under the government he must expect,
first of all anonymous letters, ordering
him away from the neighborhOod, then
aforInaI notice that if he is not gone by
a certain day he will be visited in a
way he will not like, and if he presunles
to disregard warnings like these he
will be attacked at night, perhaps on
the highway, perhaps in his own house.
II he is not murdered on the spot, his
life will be spared only on condition
that he will go away never to return.
With negroes far less ceremony is used.
If they become objects of political odi-
um, or of any other kind of hate, they
are visited with summary retribution.
Their houses are burned, their dones-
tic animals are destroyed, and not un-
frequently the negroes themselves are
murdered wherever they are met
These atrocities have of late been most
i'm South Carolina and in
Kentucky, but they are by no means

ARREST FOR ILLEGAL KIssING.-A
well known gentleman of this county
recently travelled in the vicinity of
Freeport, this county, ostensibly for
the purpose of buying horses. He is
fond of the fair sex, and passing by q
certain neighborhood he learned that q

near by. Calling, and finding the hus-
band absent, his old feeling Overcame
him, and he saluted his old acquaint-
ance with hearty kiss. When the
husband came home he learned of the
affair, and became enraged. The wife
said the horse dealer had forced the
kiss, whereupon the husband made
complaint before a justice, and the af-
fectiOnate horse buyer was arrested.
