met at the train by an intelligent little
American citizen Of African descent, who
relieved me OF my baggage, and after a

THE CHANGE THAT HAS HAPPENED.

looking around the city, and the day has
been so clustering that had | been 30 in

store, the point Of f,cks across the river,
and the river itself, snd the remains ofthe
old fort, all force be to the conclusion
that It Ia siill old N,E Creek at last. The
city contains about 100 inhabitants, and
from what little | have seen the majority
OF them seem to BID men OF business. I.
