TIE NAHY OF THE FU7 UKE.

From the Nelc York Times Of his morning.
Il does not require any great degree of

/ tresentalives oftbe men who were formerly
and justly called seamen-have q hearty
dislike OF being packed into gigantic iron
pot, and then sent TO sea with the lid &C.

sons OF romantic tendencies hate the iloD-

the mast-head, there to expiate in prolong-
ed solitude his last trick upon the purser
The modern Inidshipman Is pale and
studious young man, who ls constantly do

would as soon dream of laughing in church
as of playing tricks upon the purser and
who believes mast to be an extinct spe-

over the disappearance OF the nightmare of

ued struggle between the builders of IRON
clads and the foTgeTs of monster guns would
have resulted in the final Abandonment of
armor The actual conqueror of the IRON
clad is, however, the torpedo. OF what

water, and which can reach and blow up

care. Bravery, seamanship, caution, and
skill OF whatever kind eau avail nothing

| and America are at the mercy Of the
stealthy little enemy, and in the place Of
hotly contested naval battles, nav al warfare
can now offer Us nothing more exciting
than the sudden sinking OF ship-ioads Of
unhappy men.

RIVER OF INK.-The water from the
mines above Cumberland is impregnated
with sulphate of iron, decomposition of
sulphuret of iron in the coal, and flows
into Wills creek. The creek is now
very low, and but small body of water
flows down the bed. AT the head of the
city are located two or three extensive
tanneries, and in the tanning of hides
large quantities of tannic and gallic acids
are poured into the stream. As soon a.
these acids come in contact with the sui
phate of iron, the water becomes black
as:is now the case in front of our city
There are millions of gallons of ink now
lying in the bed of the creek, which

THE MIXTURE OF RAcEs.-In the
South Carolina Legislature, bill was
up prohibiting inteImarriage of races,
under severe penalty. The colored
members of the House were against it
unanimously, and the whites were in
stinctively for it. But the latter, after
some skirmishing, withdrew their sup
port from the bill, and it failed by an
overwhelming majority. ..... ...-
We do not understand that previous
laws against the intermarriage of the
whites with the blacks were repealed
by the failure of this attempt to increase
the penalty. We hope it will be long
time before the laws of this State pro-
hibiting such marriages will be repealed
In referring to the subject the New York
Journal Of Commerce says: Gas the
so-called Civil Rights bills in the North
do not incite colored persons to mingle
freely with whites at the hotels and
theatres, so the legalizing of marriages
between the two colors would not, as a
matter Of course, make such marriages
common anywhere. The effect upon the
complexion of the future inhabitants OF
South Carolina will probably be less
striking than the friends of the defeated
bill anticipate. And this effect, so far as
there is any, will be more injurious to
the negroes than to the whites. The ne
gro race takes not life, but death, from
"miscegenation." The negro, in his un-
adulterated state, is long lived, almost
proof against climatic maladies, and pro-
life. The mulattoes are not remarkable
for longevity, are more liable to certain
classes of disease than any pure colored
race, and in no respect hold their own il
the struggle for existence against eithel
whites or blacks. The new relations O
independence and self help IN which the
negro is placed by the abolition of slave
ry have not, on the whole, it is said, beef
favorable to the spread and perpetuity o
his race at the South. The shortest nat
ural process for wiplng the negro off tn
face of this country would probably b
to encourage his intermarriage with tn
Whites"

Professor Davis.

Many quiet and aseful men pass along through the busy throng of hu- man life, whose histories, if written, would be interesting and sometimes thrilllngly so. Professor Davis of Tucson is one of these, judged by the following brief sketch written by Col. R. J. Hinton to the San Francisco Post:
 Thomas Davis has spent over a quarter of a century ln the practical control of mines, and possesses also a more than fair theoretical knowledge of the sciences which are connected with his pursuits. "The Professor" as he IS usually called in this section, is one of those marked characters found only. it would seem, in mining and frontier regions. He is a man of over seventy years of age, who looks like sixty" and a hale and hearty three score at that. He is q Philadelphian by birth. His father was for many years connected with the United States Mint as assayer Professor Davis was in Texas in 1859, participated in all movements connected with the Lone Star Republic" was in the various battles, and being captured. was priS- oner in Mexican hands for two years. He served as guide to the American army, and participated in the Taylor campaigns. He went 10 Africa, and, being shipwrecked with others, made a long journey across the southern extremity Of the continent, thence sailed to India and back home by way of Central America. He has been in Cuba, mined in Brazil, Peru, Aus tralia. several years in California, al placer, gravel and quartz, and for sixteen years past has been engaged in Mexico. having charge of large operations. The old gentleman Is 6ardy, studious, observant selfOpin- ioRated. but wise in his specialdes, honest and temperate in character and habits. and almost ss open and simple as q child in his ways.

The Winter here some times gets as cold as thirty degrees be. low zero. The wet seasons are sr SC were that sufficient amount of catarrh, rheumatism and neuralgia are acquir. ed 10 last two seasons.

 We have sent the writer such docu- ments as the Territory has and some others. This climate is hard to excel in the matter of good he4lth, and it is particularly kind 10 all rheumatic, ca tarrhal and asthmatic ailments.
