Eliza johnson, colored, was arrested and
sent to Jail yesterday on the charge Of steal
ing one dollar iii money.
Levi j. Leon, who was recently acquit-
ted in the Criminal Court of the charge OF
arson, publishes, in yesterdays Banner, a
card, in which he makes a clap-trap appeal
for sympathy" because this paper stated
last Wednesday, that a coat belonging to
Leon had been found in ArOnsOn's store.
1t is the province of this paper to publish
facts, and any fact connected with the re-
cent case of incendiarism is of absorbing
interest to this community Just now.

balances Will be paid on orders on other

much value in merchandise. The reg
ulating power will not be gold, or gold
alone. but what IN can only repre-
semitic commodities. These COM
modities will be symbOliZed on paper,
and the use Of metallic currency, IN
consequences, will be proportion
ateIy diminished. Transactions Will
be made on samples, and the
merchants of the future viii be
spectators IN products, as our brokers
are in railway shares. The spirit OF
the age is speculative, and the tendency
beyond question is to monopoly ana
Capitalization. What changes COM

THE MERCHANTS OF THE FUTURE

New York Commercial Bulletin
A German statistician has lately given
n tabular view OF the commercial move
ment of the world as shown IN the ex-
mort and import trade of nations. In
some regions. as in Africa, 1t Is difficult
To make an estimate; but what is equal
" striking is the fact that while old com
mercial countries maintain their trade,
new ones are dawning, as 1t were, INTO
the activity of commercial day. On
lacking at the trade figures Of half-clv-
ilized countries, we see IN them the
great key to the commerce OF the fu-
ture. The trade Of some countries does
not always grow in proportion to the
superior intelligence and commercial
spirit of their people, but oftener ac-
cording as its natural productions are
in demand by other people. This m
iuences the export trade alone. The
imports depend more ON, first, the
available exportable matter, and sec
ondIy the necessities of the people, or
rather on their appreciation OF the
wants of civilized life. But here again
calculations are often at fault, for 1t Is
not the people upon whom most depen-
dence is placed that always turn out
the best customers. Even IN two
peoples. like the Chinese and Japan
csc there is q great difference IN
aptness or willingness TO avail them
serves of the results of progress. Social
habits and chronological considerations
both enter rs factors. The surprising
development Of such countries as Egypt
show us the probable impetus winch
will mark the trade of what may be
led the undevelOped commercial
regions of the world.
1t is this very fact which viii pre-
| serve such manufacturing countries as
ENGLAND from decline. Trade IS only
J becoming with some lands, and their
inhabitants are but Just becoming ac-
auainted with the products OF eIyllza-
ton. TIL such time as these new
countries themselves begin to manufac-
ture. they will doubtless be customers
of Great Britain, France, Germany and
America for such articles as each can
sell cheapest. In the meantime, how
| ever. there is little doubt that when
once the barriers which separate
| China from the rest Of the world are
broken down, it viii enter in the mark
cts with all the advantages which ITS
immense and skillful population viii
i've n In different kinds OF manu-.
features it Is more than probable It will
completelyut shut out European com
petitors. Late travellers through China
have not only been amazed at the pro,
gress the Chinese are making, ou'

Of the first members Of that order in this

OLD HAGS.
The Fate of Old Women Among the
colorado River Indians

colorado River Indians
From Mai. Powell's Forthcoming Book
The life of an Indian maidenis blithe
and merry for a few years, but when
she becomes a wife she is soon broken
down with the pains of motherhood
and the heavy labOrs which fall to her
LOT. and she soon becomes wrlnkled,
c,arrulous. cross, scOlding, IN fact an
0Id bag. OF course such hays are not
pleasant company in camp, and IN the
heIiaf of the Numa such old hays grow
n0lier and meaner until they dry up
and whirlwinds carry them away, when
they are transformed into witches; and
lest such fate should befall old women,
thew are taught that it is their duty to
die when they are nOlCngerneeded, and
Il they do not die by natural means IN
reasonable time, they must commit SUI
eide. This they seem very willing to do
rather than to meet that terrible fate OF
being transformed into witches and be-
ing compelled to live in snake skins,
and wriggle about among the rocks,
their only delight being 10 repeat the
words of passers-by IN mockery. l once
saw three old women thus voluntarily
starving themselves. rOdeup to what
was almost a deserted camp, the three
old women only remaining, sitting by
the fire and intently gazing into the
embers. They seemed to heed not my
approach, but sat there mumbling and
oroaning until they rose, each drags ing
M her weight with a staff, and then
they joined in a sidewise, shutting, tot
tering, senile dance around the fire,
propped up by their staffs, and singing
a doleful song. Havlngfnished which,
they sat again on their heels and gazed
into the fire, and l rode away. On CON-
ing to thenew camp of the tribe the next
day. and inquiring Of Chui-at-au-um-
peak. their chief, why these women
were left behind and what they were
