An Old Race of Savages.

1t is a curious fact that Mexico
possesses an island in the Gulf of
California only couple of miles
from the mainland of the State of
Sonora, and not thirty miles from
Hermosillo, the capital of the State,
over which the national or State
authorities exercise no jurisdiction,
which has never been thoroughly
explored, and which is inhabited by
a race of Indians totally unlike any
other tribe of aborigines in that
part of the world. The island is
twenty miles long by twelve miles
wide. The Indians inhabiting il
are called Ceris. They live OH fish
principally, and do not hesitate to
eat those which have been cast up
on the sands by the sea, even if
they are more or less decayed.
They will also eat almost any kind
Of animal, not being particular
whether it was killed for that pur-
pose or not. Some few years ago
they were very hostile and would
allow any one to land on the island,
and even as yet no exploring party
has ventured to go any distance in
land, so forbidding are they and so
treacherous.

Not Sold by the Dozen.

In the windows Of Broadway
book store was recently exhibited a
set of chickering's Shakespeare, in
eight 16mo volumes. The books
are masterpieces of the printers
and binders art. They are bound
in half morocco, with the covers
beautifully fooled. The volumns
caught the eye of a good old wom-
an, who had no doubt been seek
ing bargains in dry goods stores.
She popped into the place and,
pointing at the works, said to the
salesman: "How much air them

Ninety dollars for the set of
eight" blankly answered the man.
Ninety" and she turned and
fled, forgetting her usual, "Well, l

When the country newspapers find
foreigners invading the field of the

merchandise and selling them to the
farmers, they arise and whack the in
truders and advise the farmer to buy
his goods Of the home merchant. And
when foreign printing houses send
