Agricultural Capitalists Of Central
America.

gress of agriculture in the last
few centuries, in comparison
with former ages, the earth is
not yet subdued. The last few
years have developed the fact
that the Continent of Africa is a
country of vast natural fertility,
and if it were placed under the
conditions ofproper cultivation,
would yield untold productions.
The following is interesting as
showing the capacity of Central
America. We take it from the
Cincinnati Live Stock Review:
"Mr. James V. Thomas, an
American citizen, long resident
of Nicaragua, and familiar with
the resources of Central Ameri-
ca and the habits and customs
of the people, has lately contrib
uted a series of interesting let
ters to one of the daily newspa-
pers of New York, setting forth
the benefits that would accrue to
the United States by making a
ship canal across Nicaragua
He claims that such a thorough
fare would make New York the
central city of the world, and
make San Francisco her asso-
ciate. Besides this, he says, it
would give American planters,
mechanics and merchants an i'm
mediate and near field to create
another India in place of that
which is rapidly forstalling even
our domestic productions. Last
year India sent nearly $500, 900
cwt. of wheat to England-one-
sixth as much as the United
States, and one third as much as
Russia. The British revenue
from India is $25O,O0O ,OOOa year
or nearly the total cost of ope-
rating the United States Govern
ment. The British army in In
dia employs and subsists 2OO,-
600 of Her Majesty's subjects,
and controls $40, 100000 human
beings. They make a commerce
of S50o,O0O,OOO a year, cotton,
jute, rice, tea and indigo lead
ing. They give employment to
$4,000 vessels, and to $500 miles
of Indian railroad, in which
S5oO,OoO,ooO find profitable in
vestment. In Spanish America,
which repeats nearly every nat
ural production of India, and
adds many others exclusively it's
own, there are less than thirty
millions people, more than two
thirds of whom live on the Pa |
citic slope; they are weary of
revolutions, ripe for orderly gov
eminent, hospitable to strangers,
and frugal. With the help of
Yankee organizing power and
machinery, Mr.. Thomas thinks
this region might be made vastly
productive and remunerative."

PAINT FROM MUMMIEs.-The Washington Gazette
saws that the old mummies are at last being put
to some practical use. We don't see why they
should not be made use of. They certainly have
no relatives whose feelings can be wounded.
Few persons are aware that veritable Egyptian
mummies are ground up into paint. But in this
country and in Europe mummies are used for this
purpose-the asphaltum with which they are i'm
pregnated being Equality superior to that which
can elsewhere be obtained. and producing pecu-
liar brOwnish tint when made into paint, which is
priced by distinguished artists both of this and
other countries. The ancient Egyptians, when
they put away their dead, wrapped with cloths
saturated with asphaltum, bulded, as it were, bet
ter than they knew, and could have never realized
the fact that ages after they had been laid in the
tOmbs and pyramids along the Nile, their dust
would be used in painting pictures in world then
undiscovered, and by artists whose languages were
then unknown. That portion of one of the Pha-
raOhs, or Potiphar, the historic Mrs. Poti-
phar may even now be on the canvas of a Vernet,
Millias or Church, who may question?

MISCELLANEOUS.

MANNERS IN BUsINEss.-Under this head the
Fancy Goods Record makes some good points, as
follows:
"There are ways Of attracting custom as there
are ways of repelling it, and we are reminded of
the value of manners in bushes by an incident of
our own experience when we accompanied some
ladies shopping in quiet country town. The
shopkeeper's manner was well calculated to drive
people from his shop. He was a slovenly, bushy
haired man, with smileless face and suspicious
eyes, that seemed to regard every passer-by as
burglar, and ever customer as positive swindler.
His till was fitted with a patent burglar alarm,
which gave a cang every time he opened it to
change a ten-cent piece. He watched with the
glance of detective every lady who handled
piece of goods, as if she proposed slipping whole
piece of Horrock's cotton under her cloak. Indeed
his entire manner made the party feel uncomforta-
bic and impatient to be out of his place. Finally,
when one of the ladies gave him five dollar bill
to pay for her purchases, he put his glasses to
examine it slowly and carefully, then pulled out
the burglar proof drawer with its ring alarm, clos
ed it on second thoughts with another clang, and
hied away to the other end of the shop to make
sure from an old bank note detect0r that the note
was not counterft, after which he modify made
change. The party have never called upon him
since, and no member of it ever will. The whole
conduct of the said, as in so many words,
"Look here you people, you can't cheat me, and
you can't have my goods until am satisfied about
you. have every device for swindlers, so keep
your distance" The result was that he lost Gus
tom, for no cares to be suspected obviously OF
being thief. 1t is possible to please customer
by your manner and your business arrangement,
and to disgust him or her by pettiness and dis
courtesy. Proper caution is a good thing, but 1t
need not be exaggerated, in this case, into uni
versal distrust and offensive suspicion. A shop
keeper, to attract customers, must see that the
looks, as well as the ways of his shop are invi-

"An incident occurred yesterday at house of
a gentleman on North Charles street which shows
how rowdies avail themselves of New Year hOspi-

the carriage in front of the door, after inquiring
of the hackman the name of the resident, boldly
rang the bell and announced to the servant who
answered it that they had come to pay their re-
spects. They were shown into the dining room,
and after eating and drinking heartily, one OF
them took up deck of cards lying on the man
tlepieee and challenged his companions to game
of casino, which they then entered upon. The
gentleman whose hospitality they were thus so
outrageousy abusing requested them to desist, but
was insulted and told to shire hall, "go bag his
head" etc. police officer was then sent for and
the party withdrew, one of them wantonly break
ing pier glass which stood in the hall on his way
out. No arrests were made, the gentleman max
ing request to that effect"
