q. In less than a month Boston has
shipped 800 barrels of New England
rum to Gorce, one of several African
ports where this seductive beverage is
employed to spread the blessings of
Boston culture. Beer is, or was, pro-
hibited to the people of Boston, but
rum is consigned by the shipload to
the unOflending natives of Africa. 1t
is the old story in new form, of the
converted young women, who, finding
that her jewelry were dragging her
down to hell" took them off and gave
them to her sister.

THE progress made by the Chicka-
saw Indian race disproves the asser-
ton often made that it requires gem
erations, to come and go befor the
best results of civilization can be at
tanned. A letter in the Chicago
Times is quite complimentary to our
red ucighbOrs. The writer says
'In everyday life the Chickasaw of to-
day compares more than favorably
with his white neighbors over the
Texas line. AS very strict prohibi-
tory laws concerning liquor are en-
forced, very little intOxicatiOn is seen
III the Nation. The good effects of
these laws are readily discernable in
the infrequency of brawls aud af-
trays which are so common in those
Western States where whisky is con-
sidered a staple commodity. The in
fluences Of civilization and education
are more easily discovered in the old
Chickasaw female than in the male !;
or, in other words, the women seem
to have become possessed with Il
higher civilization than the men have
yet aspired to. While education has
moulded the Indian into an intolli-
gent man, he has remained neVePthe-
less obtuse to the more elegant
refnements of civilization. Not so
the ladies. Your correspondent
has met several Chickasaw ladies who
were possessed with all the grace and
accomplishments of New York
belle-ladies who by reason of culture
and refinement could occupy the
highest plane of society in ametropol-
itan city. OF course very few Chick
asaw women have attained the stand
ard occupied by these ladies ;yet they
one and all, show strong instruction:
toward a higher civilization.

nefnced Coins.

On a sober second thought nothing
is more just than the refusal Of the
Government to take mutilated coins,
and the consequent depreciation of
these coins. To allow this thing Of
punching and boring holes in coins
will soon destroy the currency IN the
country, so that hardly a piece of
money can be found that viii net
have a hole IN it. This is done by
thieves and swindlers, whose occupa-
ton is now gone. Punched or bored
coins now are only worth what the
silver in them is worth. They will
all have to be made over before they
will be money again. A coin with q
hole in it is not mOney-it is only a
piece of silver bullion.

The horse car companies of Philadelphia call upon their drivers to work eighteen hours day. in all wsathers, with one Sunday in four thrown in. Five hours are allowed for eating, sleep- ing recreation, &c., &c One of the drivers recently told gentleman, who communicates the fact to Food and HeazM for September 10th, that he had not seen his family in four months. He was too sleepy Sundays, after the week. work of one hundred and eight hours, to go to them, being compelled to de- vote the day to rest, and as they lived some distance off he could not spare the time Twenty minutes were allowed the drivers every day for meals-not for each meal but the three, or an average of six minutes and a fraction each. Not long since London cab driver told some enquiring gentleman that he had not seen his little boy, then three years old, awake for over year. The boy and his mother lived in 8 portion of the city far removed from the stand at which s.cabby', did business, and as he never got home till late at night, and left before day-break in the morning, it had happened that his little boy, whom he dearly loved, had never been awake when he was at home within the twelve OA4AOS1AOAoOAy why should a man remain in a business which is so imperative and exhaustive in it's demands or serve corporation which has no more consideration for the comfort of its employees.
