The Earliest People of England.

1he earliest race of men who peopled
England, says Grant Allen in Know
ledge, were the black fellows of the
palRolIthlc or older stone age. They
were l~ow-brOwed fierce jawed, crouchinr
creatures, inferior even to the existing
Australians, and were all swept away in
the last glacial epoch. Long after the
glaciers of the ice age had cleared off
the face of the country, Il second race
occupied Britain, some of whose de-
scendants almost undoubtedly exist there
at the present day. These were the
HeoIthlc, or stone age men, who have
been identified, with great probability.
as a branch of the same isolated Basone
or Eustrarian race which now lives
among the valleys of the western Pyre-
nees and the Asturias Mountains. Onr
knowledge of them is mainly derived
from their tOmbs or barrows-preat
heaps of earth which they piled above
the bodies of their dead chieftains
From these have been taken their skele-
tons, their weapons, their domestic uten-
slls, and their ornaments. In stature.
the neollthic men were short and thick
set, not often exceeding five feet four
inches. In complexion, they were prob
ably not white, but swarthy, like the
udiheSG 1IdIIdHS OF SpanlafdS, or even
the Moors. Their skulls were very long
and narrow, and they form the best dis
tinguishing mark eff the race, as we'll as
the best test of its survival at the pre-
sent day. The neoliths were unac-
quainted with the use of metal, but they
employed weapons and implements of
stone, not rudely Clipped like those of
the Older stone age, but carefully ground
and polished. They made pottery, too.
and wove cloth; they domesticated pigs
and cattle, and they cultivated coarse
cereals in the little plots which they
cleared out of the forests with their
stone hatchets or tOmahawks. In
general culture, they were about at the
same level as the more advanced Poly
nesian tribes when they came into con-
tact with European civtFiose of the
bar baerrQ VE7,lWy h iiShhq dkrors. They appear
have lived for the most part in little
tockaded villages, each occupying a
mall clearing in the river valleys, and
uled over by a single chief; and the bar
ows usually cap the summit of the
boundary hills which overlook the
title dales. Inside them are long cham
,ered galleries of large, rough-hewn
,tones, and when these primitive cree
ions are laid bare by the decay or re-
noval of the barrow, they form the so
" Druidical monuments of old
ashioned ~antiquaries, a few of which are
Celtic, but the greater part Eustrarlan.

SANDERS Against Hawaii.

In a Norwegian newspaper (the
Drdnamen Times a person, who calls
himself the Commissioner for the Nor
wegian immigrants in the Sandwich IS
lands" and who gives his name as Ii.
Lange, makes a long statement about
what he calls :. the purchase and sale of
white girls in Hawaii" After making
> violent attack on the Consul OF
Sweden and Norway, he goes on to say;
nThe consul has written home that
the immigrants are under the protection
of the Hawaiian Government, which
means that we are governed by the large
planters who in reality rule the Island,
the King, his Ministers, and Judges be
ing all under their sway.
I'VE will now proceed to contradict
the Consul when he says that no slavery
exists on the Islands by giving proof
that several transactions have taken
place in our presence and certain know
ledge. A native of Finland bought
a girl for seventy-tive dollars, VINO
was a fellow-passenger on the Beta
A negro and a Norwegian, long resi-
dents of the Islands, purchased each {
girl on condition to work the three years

When LOrange was obliged to leave

countrymen, he sold his servant girl t.

be mentioned, An oyerseer on the al

a girl, and proposed to Mr.. AleNande
to buy her, to which Mr.: AleXande
agreed upon receiving 500 for her, t
which the lover ~demurred, and offered
smaller sum-, and after considerable
wrangling something like trading o

The STEAMERS OF THE FUTURE.-There
is reason to believe tn t the merchant steam
vessels of the future will be shorter, broader.
and of gre ter draught than some of the
gre I ocean ste mers 1t present running.
At Ieast that is the opinion of Mr.. William
Denny. the famous Clyde shipbuilder, who
At a recent meeting of the Dunbarton Har-
Dor Board, moved that engineers skilled in
dredging and improving rivers be asked to
export as to the deepening of the river Leven,
at Dumb rton, to ! depth of three feet deeper,
than the present depth of the river Clyde.
The steamers of the future, he pointed out,
would be very much broader, and. as a con-
sequence, very much deeper, md requiring
a greater draught of water. Besides, as
these ste mers would be used for express
purposes, their cargo End coal-carrying
capacity powers would not amount to a
great deal of dead weight therefore, the
light DR., ught of the steamer of the future
would, probably, be not very much less than
her load d ught, and might be as deep, il
not deeper. than the greatest load draught a
present. Mr.. Denny's motion was seconded
by Mr. Robert Nc MILAN, another well
known shipbuilder, and the speeches of bott
these eminent authorities so deeply i'm
pressed the other members of the Dunbar
ton Harbor Boar,ss that it was it was carried
without a dissentieh- voice.

We have been reliably informed that
several of our Jewish fellow -citizens of
this parish, who have heretofore acted
with the Democratic party, intend vo-
ting for Louis Trager, the Republican
candidate for Congress in this District,
for the sole reason that he is a -1er.
We are surprised at tkis and regret
very much to hear it. Certainly these
gentlemen are acting without due re-
Election, for they should be the very
last to wish to establish religious test
of fitness for office. Do they not know
that ninety-nine out OF every oae hun
dred of the citizens OF this parish are

been tolerant. We hope that these gen
tlemen will reconsider their llasty de-

This is an era of consolidation. The
railroads are consolidating, the tele-
graph lines have united into one gigan-
tic company; the match manutactu-
rers have formed syndicate, and now
the starch manufacturers, propose to do
the same. A few months ago, the
makers of ma ches, discovering that
competition was injuring them, consOl-
idated into one gigantic monopoly,
which now supplies the whole country /;
which is so powerful, politically, that
it secured from the Republicans Il bill
abolishing the tax on matches, and so
strong financially, thatit could put up
prices 100 per cent.
Wednesday, as the telegraph in
forms us, the starch manufacturers,
representing millions OF dollars of cap
ital, met at Cincinnatti and cQnsolida
ted into single company, which will
regulate the production and fix prices.
Washerwomen may be prepared. there
fore, for a steady advance in the price
the new monopoly gets well under
way.
1t is sample of the times. We may
expect to see many other industries fol-
low the example of the telegraph, match
and starch companies. Why should
not all the furniture men unite in one
furniture company, and the carpet man
ufacturers, trunk manufacturers, etc,
try the effect of consolidation and mo-
nopoly I? 1t enables them to decrease
expenses and to raise prices, and gives
them complete and absolute control OF
the market. 1t brushes out it is true,
the small dealers, and places the country
in the grip of monopoly but it pays,
and will, therefore, go on, we suppose,
as long as the people will bear it.
