generally claimed concessions. Fac
tors, however, were not inclined to
accept lower prices, their free sales Of

monetary situation and rendered them

ilictory, that from abroad being shady,
while from tho east it was slightly
better. Sales yesterday summed up
100 bales, divided 400 to exporters
and 200 to spinners, closing firm at a

The YOuDg Pilot of the Belle
Creole.

Some thirty years ago Mrs. Caroline
Lee Hentz surprised as well as de-
lighted many readers of fiction with
well written stories, containing de-
scriptions of scenery aud life in the
south, interspersed with love sketches
of the most beautiful character, and
seasoned with a multitude OF stirring
adventures.
Among her earliest and most brill
liant efforts was Linda romantic
sketch of life and social events as they
appeared in the olden golden days Of
slavery. The story is laid among the
rich and luxuriant orange groves Of
Louisiana, on a sugar plantation, where
one hundred and fifty negroes labOred,
with a change now and then to the
flowing waters of the winding Alabama
where the Belle Creole glided over the
foaming current with the speed of an
eagle and the grace of swan, and
where the young pilot Roland Lee
rescued Linda after the boilers blew
up and the boat was wrecked, thereby
becoming the hero of the work. The
scenes in thesketch are very dramatic,
and are graphically related, while the
tone of the novel is healthful and
without objection. The work has re-
Gently been republisbed by I. B. Pc
terson 4 Bros, Philadelphia, Pa, and

II Malone was not bought by a mess
Of republican pottage, he at least gets
the credit Of it. His position is not a
desirable one, and the laurels hc will
gather cannot be such as honorable
men generally desire. lie may be con-
scientious and in the main right. He
may have been driven to his course by
the abuse Of bourbon newspapers
and the party lash; he may
hi& his grievances; but his posi-
ton is nevertheless an unfortu-
nate one. He may get even with
his enemies, but it will be at the ex-
pense of many life long friends and
ties. The loss of a few clerkships and
the other patronage at the disposal Of
the senate is a small matter, but it is
something to turn over the United
States senate from one party to an :
other, especially whsu it gives the alb
solute control Of the government End
all its departments to one party. The
responsibility for such an act is very
great for one man to assume. How
ever, if MIR. Malone is satisfied the
democratic party and the country can
stand it.

OUR TAx.EATERS,
And the Way They Hustle Up
solid Citizens.

A little stir has been created in
various quarters, within the past few
days, by the city authorities.
1t was all right at first, and many
who complain at present Of tax bur
dens did not do SO when an appeal was
made, year or two ago, to help the
then suffering city with empty Golfers
1t is feared, however, that there is no
balm for the payers, and that they will
have to grin and bear it, at least for a
period. The economy at first 50 earn
estly practiced in all quarters is re-
laxing in many, and instead of re.
ducing expenses, as we'll as prospective
taxes, the indications point to a swell
ing up in many directions.
At the same time the dilapidated
end rutty condition of the highways,
asouad the edges of the city and with
in its borders, while not wholly i'm
passable, are in a fix that cries loudly
for repairs.
The kind of notices which people
are receiving speak for themselves,
and read as follows:

the foundation of a new building, a vault was
opened containing a large number of human
skeletons, whose surroundings proved them to
have lived not later than the twelfth century,
NJ. BrOca found the average capacity of 115 of
those twelfth century skulls to be 1 1,426 cubic
centimetres while another series of skuls-l25
in number-taken from acemetery belonging to
the early years of the present century, gave an
average of 36 cubic centimetres more. The av-
erage Partisan skull would thus seem to have
increased considerably in capacity during seven
centuries of progressive civilization. That this
increase has gone on slowly but surely as man
progressed from barbarism to civilization may
be inferred from study of the cranial capaci-
ties OF the various human races. Thus, while
the brain capacity of the European amounts to
81 cubic inches, it is only 81 i'm the Esquimau. IS
in the negro 50 in the Australian, and a i'm the
Bushman. These are merely averages. and. as
such, do not bring out the important fact lately
noticed by lie Bon, that among the lower races
the limits of variation in the cranial capacity of
individuals OF the same sex are much less eX-
tended than in the higher races. Thus, among
modern Parisians large and small skulls vary by
about 600 cubic centimetres. while negro skulls
vary only by 2O4, and ancient Egyptian by $50
cubic centimetres.
Another important difference in the cranial
capacity of the higher and lower races is con-
nected with sex. and serves to throw light upon
the influence of mental exercise in increasing
brain capacity. According to Prof. Bischoff OF
Munich, in recently published work the differ
ence between the average brain weight of men
and women is 1011 per cent. Much of this Is
undoubtedly due to difference in stature. a tall
person having, cGte7-is paribus, larger brain
than one less in height; partly, however it is at
tributable, there can be little doubt, to inferior
mental training. Among the lower races where
the women have not only charge of the off
spring, but have also to share. and that largely
in the husbands occupations, the brain capacit,
OF the two soxes shows nnch less difference
