The st. Louis Times has this little edi

The st. Louis Times has this little edi-
torial about one Of the Dent family:
Mr.. w. d. w. Bernard, a near relative Of
the Dent family, and of course dear to the
heart of the President, was lately appointed
national bank inspector for this section of
country, including Missouri, Kansas, Iowa
and q good portion of Illinois. When it
was thought possible that brother-in-law
Casey might be removed, cousin Bernard
was picked out as his successor, but the
President changed his mind about the re-
moval of Casey, and consequently pro
vided for his wifes cousin in the way
spoken of. The examination of national
banks is a clerical piece of work. The ex-
aminer simply walks in and counts the
cash and notes, to see that the sums agree
with those put forward in the last pub
lished statement. The fees for such Job,
which can be done in an hour by a good
man, average about 500 for a bank with
$685. 900 capital.
1t is usually done once a year, and has
lately been gone through with by Mr.. A. NJ.
Britton, whom Grant has just removed to
give place to his kinsman. Cousin Ber-
nard, however, who doesn't believe in hav-
ing an office without making something of
it. has given notice that he shall commence
the work right over again and go through
with it to the end of the chapter. Of course
the bank proprietors are indignant "a tbev
have a right to be. They say they 40 NOT
object to the examination at any time when
any good reason exists for it, but thew do
object TO being plundered to enrich a hun.
rry relative of the Dent family, who. for
some reason unknown to everybody. has
been overlooked in the distribution of Office,
till the last day.

CanpibaI Statistics.

Nowadays we have statistics on every
thing The diligent readers of the daily
papers can tell the exact number of tooth
picks manufactured from the tbirtieth day
of December, 1870, to the thirtieth day of
December, 1871; how many bushels we're
devoured in the United States during the
past twelve months; the number of clergy
men afflicted with the bronchitis since the
battle Of Bunker Hill, and other equally in.
teresting facts. The last batch OF statistics
comes from a Sandwich Island paper, and
certainly that ought to be a reliable author
ity upon the subject regarding which it
gives facts and figures. 1t says that the
race of canuibalsis larger than is generally
supposed The Battas, according to Fried
mann. may be reckoned at 100000 souls;
the cannibals of the Niger Delta at 100000;
the Fans, according to Fleuriolt dc Langle,
at S0,000; the cave jewellers of the BassutO
cOnntry-about a tenth Of the whole popu-
lation-at l00,00 the Mann N Jams at about
500, 600; the Miranhas and Messages, ac-
oording to Marley, at 1000; the Australian
Aborigines at 10000; the Melanisians, with
ont including New Guinea, at 1 ,000,0 900. 1t
must be taken INTO account, however, that
most Of these people are cannibals only in
war, and that it is an ancestral custom,
more than appetite, which causes them to
eat an enemy instead Of burying him.
