BATON RoUaE, Sept So.-The Howard

following statement and appeal: 1--WE thought
ton days ago that the generous and munifcent
response to our appeal for help for our needy
sufferers would have more than supplied our
wants, but it is apparent now that unless we
receive mere assistance there will be great
suffering in our midst. While we have been
fortunate compared to other places in our
death list we have had over 100 cases of
yellew fever many of which we are satisfied
would have proved fatal mad it not been for
| the timely aid extended us from abroad. Our
| reports for several days past show an average
of over fifty new cases daily. Our means are
nearly exhausted, and without assistance there
will be great loss of life and suffering

One of the first things that strikes

The next remarkable feature of
Japanese life is the mode of convey
ance. The only sort of carriage
used in japan is a small affair like
an overgrown baby carriage. This

man. The men who make q liveli.
hood by drawing them are possessed
of wonderful endurance. They will
run at top speed q distance of ten or
fifteen miles without showing fatigue.
The lecturer touched on the Jap
anese method of fighting conflaga-
tons, which consists in tearing down
all ths buildings surrounding the
burning portion. The fire engineers
are redlculously inadequate, the men
being desperately excited and there
is an utter want of system, but great
courage and energy is display ed, and
when the buildings are small the
plan adopted has advantages. The
people are he says, kind to the losers
by fires and will go out of their way
to buy from them so as to set them
on their feet again. Mr.. Morse adj
mires chopsticks, and in the main
approves of the Japanese food which
consists of fab, raw and cooked
vegetables, milk and eggs.
On the whole, the lecturer was OF
opinion that in many respects the
Japanese far exceeded us in the con.
venience and propriely Of their life.

! Historical Fact for the silverltes.

The following fact from Mscaulay
is respectfully referred TO the people
who imagine that the recoining of
deprecated silver dollar is to be fol
lowed by immediate prosperity.
The silver coins from England had
become from clipping and sweating
so much under weight, that they
would no longer pass at their face
value, and the question Of an entire
recoinage was being agitated all
through the country. As the silver
shilling from those causes had be.
como worth only about nine pence,
. party sprang up 10 favor of only
putting nine pence value of silver in
to q shilling. Maoaulay says:
"Those politicians whose voice
was for delay gave Less trouble than
another set Of politicians, who were
for q general and immediate reooin-
age, but who insisted that the new
shilling should be worth nine pence
or nine pence half penny. Al the
head OF this party was William
Lowndes, secretary OF the treasury,
and member. of parliament from the
borough ofSeaford, q most respect
able and Industrious public servant,
but much more versed in the details
Of his office than in the higher parts
of political philosophy. He was not
in the least aware that q piece of
metal with the kings head on it was
q commodity OF which the price was
governed by the sallio laws which
govern the price of piece of metal
fashioned INTO a spoon or buckle,
and that it was no more in the pow.
er of parliament to make the king.
dom richer by calling a crown a,
pound than to make the kingdom
larger by calling furlong a milo.
He seriously believed. incredible as
it may seem, that if the ounce of
silver were divided into seven shill-
ings instead of five, foreign nations
would sell Us their wines and their
silks for smaller number of ounces.
He had considerable following,
composed partly of dull men (sic)
who really believed what he told
them, and partly of shrewd men %
who were perfectly willing to be
authorized by law to pay hundred
pounds with eighty. Had his argu-
ments prevailed a vast confscati0n
would have been added to all the
other evils which afflicted the nation.
Public credit, then in its infancy,
would have been destroyed.

Flint Once was Sponge.

You never would think it, would
you ?-but I'm told that flint really
is nothing more nor less than
sponge turned to stone. Once the
sponge grew at the bottom of the
sea, as other sPoDges grow now, but
that was ages aud ages ago, and
since then the sponge, turned to
flint has lain covered with rocks
and earth Of many kinds piled thicK
about it. Seen with q microscope,
dint shows the make of sponge ia
its 6bres, and sometimes you can
see, oedded in it the shells of the
tiny creatures on which the sponge
had fed. Now and then inside q
a flint will be found bits of the
sponge not yet changed.
That last proof settles it, but
must say it's hard to believe, :
