SLAVERY is disappearing every W here.
When the United States az war ma.
cessity set the slaves free, the corner
stone OF the institution was swen,
away. IL was only question of a
short time when it would totter and
fall wherever it had found foothold
In 1879 1t was declared by law passed
by.th Cortes that all the slaves on the
Isle OF Cuba over the age Of 30 years
should have their liberty at once. The
same law provided that while all slaves
under that age should be nominally
free, yet they would be compelled tc
serve their former masters eight years
provided the latter would keep them
and pay them wages. Under q late
decree the latter law has taken effec,
and slavery on the island of Cuba ID q
thing Of the past.

PHrLADRLFHIA. Tuesday August 8, 1855.
New carpets so soon.
Substantially all the styles o.
next fall and winter are here
and ready.
1t is a new notion ir
Philadelphia to have them
SO early; but it isn't new in
the quicker cities. The car
pets are made. People are
in and out of town. They
are thinking OF carpets. Why
shouldn't they see them and
be turning the subject over
in their minds.
So, when we say the car
pets are ready, we mean
they are here to be looked
at. Be free to look and 90
away. There's a great deal
of looking to be done. Take
your convenient time.
But now is the time to
throw out this hint. By
and by you will want your
carpets at just such a time;
and we shall be busy then
very likely. As soon as you
know exactly what you want
then is the time to buy and
give us plenty of time to
and lay. There's a
great deal in our having
OF time. We can do
work in a little time,
and we mean to do it well;
but we can do it better slow
ly. Give us the time if you
can.
We want to say a word to
those who do not know very
closely what we are doing
in carpets.
You think of US as buying
a n d selling ten-thousand
different things; and when it
comes to any speciality, no.
matter what, there are some
who say: "let's go to some
body who knows nothing
about anything else but car
pets,' or whatever else they
are going to be unusually
careful about.
Let's nave a word on that.
In the first place it doesn't
follow that a m a n who
knows nothing about any
hing else but carpets is wise
about carpets; and, if he isl
wise, ne may not have thej
carpets; and, if he has them,
ne may not be able to sell sol
adyantageouely. The profit
able time in the carpet bust
ness Is rather short. Ii wei

pets we should think we had

having ridden in from the agency on
Tongue river, tie scene OF the appre-

went under orders to the agency in
advance of Captain Forses battalion of

the information he could. made for the
fort, reporting the situation to Captain
Forse on his way back. He says the
whole affair is scare, and SO far as he
could see or learn there never was any
good reason to fear serious trouble. He
met settlers within four miles OF the
agency who had heard nothing whatever
of the trouble, and who said the Indians
had never been more quiet than at
present. The female school teacher at
the agency has kept up her school, and
her scholars have not been disturbed by
any excitement or reports. In fact
everybody was going about as usual, and
the people did not know that any dis
turbance was feared until Campbell
arrived and told them the troops were
coming. Forse's battalion was expected

On that day let ali our people forego
their accustomed employments and
assemble in their usual places of worship
to give thanks to the Ruler of the uni
verse for our continued enjoyment of
the blessings of free government, for
renewal of business prosperity through
out our land, for the return which has
rewarded the labor of those who till the
soil, and for our progress as a people in
all that makes the nation great. And
while we contemplate the infinite power
OF God in earthquake, flood and storm,
let the grateful hearts of those who have
been shielded from harm, through
His mercy. be turned in sympathy
and kindness toward those who
have suffered His vlsitations.
Let us also In the midst of our
Thanksgiving, remember the poo- and
needy with cheerful gifts and aims, 30

be made acceptable in the sight of the

at Washington, 1t is said, it is hoped
by national political leaders on each
side that the other side will secure q
majority in the house of representatives
1t is held that the prevailing party in
the house is certain to furnish damaging
campaign material against itself. Ex-
perience has taught both sides that the
party which holds the house majority
for the two years preceding presiden-
tial election suffers thereby and this is
given as reason why both sides are
secretly courting defeat.

leisurely after hearing Scout CampbelPs
report that all was peaceful. A letter
from the priest at the agency states that
there was some excitement among the
Cheyennes at first over the arrest of
Chief Crazy Head and two other bucks
on the charge of sheep stealing, but it
WAS heceuse they feared the arrest of
other parties than those implicated in
the transaction. When, however, they
found there were to be no more arrests
the excitement quickly died out, and
everything is quiet. Agent Upshaw is a
new man and is not used to handling
indians, SO that he was easily frightened.
The opinion is freely expressed that if
an agent who understood Indian manners
and customs had been in charge at
Tongue river the demand for troops
would not have been made.

failed to get it and wrote the governor
to know why his bid had not been ac-
cepted. In response the governor sent
the attorney general to Yankton to in
vestigate the case and no one knew his
