We learn that the enterprising puF-
chasers are citizens of Canada, Michi-
gan, New Jersey, Texas and other
states. They send surveyors and ex-
perts in the lumber business into our
forests to select the most valuable tim
Der lands. They intend to open the
Manufacture of lumber, with narrow
gauge railroads and gang sawmlls, and
they seem to have the purpose Of send
ing their goods into Mexico, Central
and South America, While the enter

these strangers, il is to be regretted if

its advantages. Anyway, the current

lOkOudma Letter.
Although the average stature of this peo-
pie is under the standard of most OF the
European nations, it is about equal to the
average OF the French; that is, the male por.
ton. The females are very much below the
hight OF Western women. But they have
the same muscular traits as the males. They
have well-developed Limbs and capacity for
labor and fatlguing work that seems aston
ishing. To see these women at work in the
fields, managing the immense hoe in use
there, with their scanty garments, which al
low the sun TO look upon their shoulders and
the upper portion OF their bodies. leaving
their limbs .unfettred, they appear models Of
symmetrical development. Beautifully
rounded arms and limbs, with smallest
Of feet and hands and smalj-boped.
they present the spectacle OF what
the human form should be in lie
natural grace and finish. An extraneous
appliance is never permitted to assist Dame
Nature in giving shape or line to the COM
pact anatomy of their bodies The children
are wondrously strong also. They are har-
messed into the general care Of the hitler fry
OF the household as soon as they are large
enough TO have a smaller child strapped on
to their backs. They learn very early the
skill OF bearing burdens upon their shouI-
ders. As they increase in growth the cspac-
lty for this sort of work is duly fostered.
The women, young and old, are to be seen
bearing loads upon their backs that the nm
initiated in such work would not be able to
stand up under. They will travel miles
laden this way with a speed that would be
sufficient to tire an average Western woman
If entirely Unincumbered. In fact, there are
very few women who could at all walk the
distance the old women do while bearing
heavy loads. And all this is performed on
an sbstemious vegetable diet

rHE aUININE BLooD.rAx.

The APPEAL, staggered by the confident
assurances OF the protectionists that quinine
when taxed was cheaper than when untaxed,
ventured to ask how dollars worth of quiz
nine with twenty cents tax added could be
had for less than a dollars worth without
:. the twenty cents? The Chattanooga Times
notices the question and states that the AP-
PEAL lacks knowledge upon the quinine
subject. Just so, and it asked for informa-
ton, believing that newspaper as well as
man is never too old to learn, and the Times
answers in these words: 1--WE say TO the
APPEAL that quinine has never for one day
or hour been cheapened 10 the consumer by
the repeal of the duty, whatever iobbers and
druggists may have made out of that bit of
demsgoguery" We must confess that this
reply still leaves us lacking knowledge how
a dollars worth of quinine with twenty cents
added costs less when the added twenty
cents is sublracted from the sum of 81 90
We are glad to find our protectionisl
cotemporary, however, expressing its opinion
that the trade should be thrown open to all
corners, and quinine be as cheap as it can be
m ade, and also denouncing the duty on the
raw material out OF which quinine is made
as "a clear and outrageous discrimination
against the American manufacturer" That
is the right spirit. Let the American manu-
facturers in every branch, including the
American ship-builders, have full liberty, as
they ought to have, to buy their raw M aterial
where they can buy it cheapest, as well as
to cell their production where they can sell
IL dearest

crease of wages, took Italians, Germans ana
Scandinavians and gave the work to them'
and there was no protection in the law to
which the American could apply. Yet these
capitalists appeal to the country to continue
their unjust privilege under the pretense OF
protecting American labor from the pauper
labor of Europe-and American smartness
is 10 have dust thrown into its eyes year
after year in this clearly fraudulent manner!
Will the people of this country permit this
privilege to continue by which one set of
men is allowed to exercise means Of making
money not extended to the rest. The wages
of the laborer are forced down by these
holders OF privileges. The capitalists gen.
orally enjoy privileges not granted to labor,
and 30 the rich grow richer and the poor
poorer. This existence OF privilege, another
name for the existence of injustice, is slowly
but surely arousing conflict between capital
and labor, conflict most dangerous and
fatal to the capitalist, conflict that, in the
words Of the New Orleans PiodsUne,
sis in the nature of things, more ire
pressible than the one which Mr.. Seward
predicted. 1t has begun, and if the existing
parties are not swift to profess lis purposes
we shall soon be entertained with the specta-
Gle of great labor party with Revolution
upon its banners"

MEXICAN FEARS OF Am ERICAN EN-
2 % u

The capitalists OF the United States are
covering Mexico with railroads, and by 30
opening the country to com rerce are giving
the Mexican people opportunity TO enter
upon a career of prosperity that will trans
form that republic and FIJI her ports and
markets with the hum of business. In re-
turn for this the conservative, hang behind,
old-rut-loviDg portion of the nation are
aroused TO jealousy and distrust, and are
sure that the United States intends to swal-
low up Mexico, to absorb it by insidious aud
GLOW, but sure conquest. REcho du Merique,
a Mexican paper published in the French
language, has recently expressed the opin-
ions of this class of the people there. 1t
says the Americans regard Mexico as land
of promise, field for exercising their con-
queriDg spirit of enterprise. The boundary
line separating the two countries is an
imaginary one; adventurous pioneers will
enter, will fill every avenue of profitable
trade, the railroads will be run by them,
their merchant marine will control the
ports, couple oil millions. of them will
people the valley of Mexico, fill the
agricultural districts, own the mines, oc-
cupy the whole of the northern frontier,
own all the grand lines of transit, with
a network of capital they will grasp all the
great affairs, interests, and enterprises OF
Mexico. Here is the complication of dangers
respecting which the Echo warns the country.
W hat does it advise should be done to avert
these solemn dangers? Favers must no
longer be granted to Americans, enterprises
must not be allowed TO fall into the hands OF
their companies, division of interests must
be effected 30 as to arrest the concentration
of American influence. This is to be effected
by inviting Eoropean capital and-encourag- |
ing European competition sgainst American |
All possible elements of opposi- |
tion to American predominance must be
aroused. The English and French must |
have their share of concessions and contracts, |
aud in this way the tendency toward the an |
nexation OF the country by the Americans |
turned aside. 1t is.notable that there is no
appeal to Mexican enterprise, Mexican in
.elligence, Mexican industry and Mexican
spirit of self-reconstruction. Sorry we are it |
is so, for we should like to see our neighbors
but if they are to do so the source OF
heir prosperity must come from within, not

THE colt IN NcErH cAKoLInA.

When the big boys wish to engage in some
| adventurous deviltry they are unwilling to
trust their secret with the trundle- bed trash,
unable to endure the labor of the proposed
jaunt, and they resort TO all sorts OF
strategic maneuvers to rid themselves of the
little fellows. They are sent off on silly
errands, 10 return only TO find their older
comrades gone. The white Republicans of
North Carolina have resorted to similar craft
and cunning to rid themselves of The trouble
some and pesky negroes in politics. Three
weeks ago the white ofice-holders of North
Carolina stole away from the blacks and
fixed up ticket TO suit themselves, and OF
course the colored people, who furnish the
voters, have repudiated the arrangement,
and tomorrow they will hold convention
on their own hook and nominate ticket
in opposition to the one chosen by the
Federal ring. So it seems that even the
negroes of the benighted hills and mountains
of North Carolina have caught the spirit Of
independence that pervades the most enlight-
ened of their race in all sections of the
country, and have sci up for themselves. In
commenting on this revolt in North Caro-
lima, the Washington Post shows that the
Republican party would have no Offices to
distribute but for the colored vote, but still
the blue.book shows that there are but few
blacks on the payroll. These complaints have
been growing more and more indignant for
years, and the spirit of revolt has finally
broken out in revolution. Neither con-
tempt, evasion nor Indifference can hereafter
silence the blacks. While they are denied
their proportionate share of the Fed
eral patronage, they are treated still
worse in the elections held in the North
ern States. No negro is elected to Con-
gress or to the Legislature in the
Northern States. In many Republican cities
and towns there are large numbers of colored
men who were never slaves, who are edu-
Gated as well as their white neighbors, who
own considerable property-some of them
being very wealthy-and who pay their full |
share of the taxes. Yet these black men are I
no more considered in making up Repub- |
lican tickets, or in appointments TO local |
offices, than 80 many black sheep or black |
cattle would be. They are expected TO do
heir proportion of the voting, and there |
heir political rights are made to terminate. |

than meter of the ground. Under one
OF the lower plates he put ball of lead,
metre inHdi ameter. The fact that BODY at
a certain elevation gains in weight as it ia
brought nearer to the ground was verified
by weighing bodies first in one of the upper
balances and then in one of the lower
ones. Furthermore the bodies varied in
weight In the lower plates according
as the mass of lead remained under
them or was taken away. The difference
In these weights showed the degree of
attraction exercised by the mass. The
value thus obtained, compared with
the attraction exerted by the earth alone,
furnished means of ascertaining, according
to the laws OF gravitation, the ratio between
the density OF the earth and that of lead,
and the latter being known, of determining
the mean density Of the globe. NJ. Won
Jolly's experiments gives this density as
1852, with probable error of plus O068,
figure that agrees quite well with other de-
termination, particularly with that of
Bailey's of 5.67.
