A sPEECHLESS RACE OF MEN.

DIR. Fields book on Java says:
This part of the world would delight
Mr.. Darwin by the strange races it
contains, some of which approach the
animal tribes. In the Island of RHO
the Resident assured me there were
wild men who lived in trees; and in
Sumatra the Resident of Palembang
said there were men who lived in the
forests with whom not only the Euro
peans but even the Malays could have
no intercourse. He himself had new
er seen one; yet, strange to say, they
have pretty traffic with the outer
world, yet not through the medium of
speech. They1ive in the woods, and
live by the chase. They hunt tigers,
not with the gun, but with weapon
called q sumpitan, which is q long
tube, out of which they blow arrows
with such force. aud that are so keen
of point, and touched with such dead
ly poison, that the wound is almost
Immediately fatal. These tiger skins
or elephant tusks they bring for bar
ter-not for sale--they never sell any,
thing, for money is about the most
useless thing they could have; they
cannot eat it; or drink it or wear it.
But as they have wants, they exchange :,
yet they themselves are never seen.
They bring what they have TO the
edge of the forest, and leave it there,
and the Malays come and place what
they have to dispose of, and retire. II
the offer is satisfactory, when the Ma
lays return they find what they
brought gone, and take what is left
and depart. If not, they add a few
trifies-more to tempt the eyes of these
wild men of the woods, and 80 at last
the exchange is effected, yet all the
while the sellers keep themselves in
visible. This mode of barter argues
honesty on both sides.

A PAPER CARPET.

A description is given of paper
carpet now made in England, and de-
signed to initiate parquet flooring, the
paper being printed in patterns to imi-
tate different woods from photographs,
so that, As it is stated, the resemblance
is absolutely perfect. The floor is
first prepared by being made perfect
ly level, and the crevices filled up with
plaster Of paris over the surface, as
thus prepared, hession is stretched
and Oh this, first lining paper and then
the patterned paper is pasted, the
whole being finished with coating OF
a peculiar kind of varnish, described
as wonderfully hard and wear-resist-
ing. This kind of carpeting can be
kept perfectly clean with the greatest
ease, and though the wear of paper
carpeting may be thought problemat.
ical, the inventor states. that he has
had rooms covered with it for some
sixteen months, without showing any
appreciable signs of wear. Its appear
ance also, is very satisfactory to the

HELL.-The theological world is
being agitated with fire and brim-
stone. The newspapers are teeming
with dispositions on eternal punish
ment, purgatory, and biblical quota
tons. The Oregonian seems to have
been selected as the vehicle through
which to hurl the hot shot. In this
connection it is interesting to a look
err on to note this talk, among the
other themes of popular agitation,
which, one by one, in waves, sweep
the country from ocean to ocean.
Spelling schools, temperance revivals,
hell, all have their day. There are
always advance thinkers in every
sphere who are ready to start the
ball rolling. Once started, hun
dred thousand of the smaller fry each
give it kick and it goes spinning
across the continent. There is no
doubt a destiny in it all. Thought is
stimulated, ideas stale and out of date,
are remodeled and remoulded, and
though the conservatives are always
confident that they win the day and
carry the argument, yet the agitation
purges the isms Of the age, and I'M
consciously, even among the most
conservative, the world of thought
moves, and they, per force, are carried
with it. There is probably no preach
err or writer on this subject of eter-
nal punishment, who does not think
his position unassailable, his srgu-
ments unanswerable. But the world
thinks differently, and goes on its
way rejoicing that the individualism
in society is such powerful factor
in the process Of sitting truth from
error. So bring on the birthstone
and the purgatory and let US have
plenty of it, for agitation never harms
truth, it is only error that "writhes
in pain, and dies amidst its worship
pers."
