The New Orleans Times-Democrat, one of tho airiest of southern newspapers, is taking a hand in tho discussion of the race problem. Unlike most papers north and south, tiie T. D. contends that the negro race is not increasing. One point it makes is of much interest. Wherever the negro race is left to itself, with no “visible admixture” of white blood, there the negro population in creases slowly, if at all. It even falls off. It is so i:i Ilayti, in Ilarbadoes ami in Jam say’s the T. I).

Of the 85,049 per eons, two-thirds were unmarried. If matrimony is stormy indoors at times, it seems to havo a tendency to keep people from outside scrapes., Only 19,953 of the whole number arrested were women. tg®rder5blj , ’<KCt’-h;tli’ of all the crimi¬ nals wero of foreign birth. Very few Chinese were among them, a large num¬ ber being Germans and Italians. A not¬ able increase of arrests among the Rus¬ sian residents of New York city has been observed. Only a fraction over 5 per •cent, of all the prisoners were unable to read and write. Our criminal classes are becoming educated. The occupation of barkeeper furnishes more recruits to the police court lists than any other. Print¬ ers come next. There were 19.009 who hail no occupation at all. It pains the journalistic soul to observe that 83 editors were among those arrested. There were 82 doctors and 95 lawyers. Portugal has declared a protectorate over the Iviko Nyassa region, ia Central Africa. Great Britain has warned l’or tugal off, on the ground that Livingstone discovered this region before Portugal diil. Thereupon Portugal produces old folios to show that, her explorers had penetrated to tliis region in the Seven¬ teenth centuky. Tit©odd thing about fiotli these claims is that tiie region was in habited when botli these superior races made their discoveries, and neither ap pears to think tho original natives have any claim to be consulted in tliis matter even on tboir own soil _ The supreme court of the United States is several years behind with its business, mid goes farther behind all the time, The establishment cf an intermediate court to try certain classes of cases has often been proposed as a relief Chief Justice Fuller advocates it. But it would not probably afford much relief As iloii" peaT as tliere waa a higher court of ap - anywhere litigants would not stop till they had carried their wars through that too. The transfer of the money in the United States treasury from Treasurer Hyatt to Treasurer Huston will be sig¬ nalized by a recount of all the money in tho treasury, dollar by dollar. In round numbers there are §200,000,090 in the treasury. Nearly three-fourths of it is in standard silver dollars, Tlie counting will require the work of sixty experts four months. Forthe first time in the history of na tions, English has been used as tiie lan guage of diplomacy. Tho Samoan nego nations at Berlin are in that language, This is in deference to the Americans on the commission. Americans ai-e the jioorc-st linguists among nations, except the French, and rarely know any lan guage but their own. They grumble in any case. Peach growers say now the crop will be so large that the price will beaway down to noth¬ ing and will scarcely pay for handling. Curious! But perhaps this summer the children of the poor millions in cities will get some of the fruit which is life and health to them. In the witness box in London, Mr, Ikirnell made a striking impression of personal beauty. His face is said to be, next to Mr. Gladstone's, the handsomest and most distinguished looking in the house of commons. The editor of The Paper Makers’ Circu lar says this is the age of pulp. It is everywhere; it seems even sometimes to get into people’s beads. i There Is only ore singer alive who cun strike high tl and hang on to it.

Journalist John h. Sullivan. The strongest animal in proportion to size on this continent is John L. Sullivan. John lias gone into journalism, seemingly quite unaware that the laurels of a jour¬ nalist can add nothing to his fame in the eyes of Ids admiring fellow countrymen. In iiis first newspaper letter Journalist Sullivan gives us scientific information as follows: “If your esdB are all bunged up, you simply apply hot water, as hot as you can bear.” He also tells U3 that “a fighter don't feel so bad while bat¬ tling." Very respectable men go to prize fights, he says, and enjoy them, which is probably true. “I do not eat a large quantity of food.” quoth John, "but 1 eat three good meals a day.” Finally the champion gives figures to prove that prize lighters sometimes live to be 70 arid 80 years old, and continue to lie good prize fighters till 35 or 40.

And we recommend her, if she wants to be kissed again, to say nothing about it It isn't nice in a young lady to blab like tlutt. Her verses are not very original, to tel) the truth. They are in the same vein as a certain rare and famous poem.

Under them, if a foreigner lands in this country with bis work engaged and ready for him be forehand, he is ser.t back home under the law forbidding the importation of contract labor. If. on the other hand, he comes without money and without prospect of work, he can be sent back anyhow as a pauper. Not much inventive genius lias sprung from Mexico, but recently two natives of that countrv havo constructed an electrical shoal water indicator for ships and U)ate that promises to liave much , value.

The Boston ^arts H^heory that Miles Standish «us an I.ishm. n. Be cause his name was written P. Miles Stan dish, lie was probably the original Paddy Miles. The New York Sun do stroys this theory, first on the ground that Miles Standish lost a wife through bash fulness, which no Irishman ever did since the world liegan. Second, Miles Standish sent another man to do Iris courting for him, and no Irishman ever did that cither. Horne rule for India is probably the next great question which will agitate the vexed .-sealsof British statesmen. The annua! congress of natives of India, now including 1,500 mem tiers, have issued a significant declaration of rights. Among their demands is one that the natives of India shall be freely admitted to admin¬ istrative and exec utive places.

They are unique. They are quite as heavy and obscuring as a London fog. They add an element of great danger to shipping interests. The danger becomes more terrible with every year, as the number of small and large craft increases on our coasts. Already no great fog set- , ties down along the eastern shores and remains for twenty-four hours that some accident does not occur Collisions take place, and often great iron steamers that start out in the fog return to port a few hours later with jagged, gaping holes in tiieir sides, lucky that they did not go to the bottom at once with all on board.

It is not generally supposed that artists are of a pious turn, but both George In | ness and Albert Bierstadt ascribe their success to a power higher than them selves.

Railroads that make ^ at 1 n . have p rol , abh - the advantage, both ns to pas and to future tlme - Corporations that issued fifty year mortgages ten or twenty years ago now find themselves obliged to pay an annual interest considerably aUrve the current market rate. On the other hand interest was never so low in the history of the Union as it is now. ll is by no means certain this will con tinue. Corjiorations and individuals, therefore, that can escape near payment of debts by giving longtime mortgages at 34 to 4 per cent, will find this an easy way out, and be able to shove their debts off upon posterity. In 1870, the Erie Railroad company issued fifty years bonds at 7 per cent. Some of nt tiic new new Trie l^ruls oonub <Ut are ror for eighty years. When the Now York Oen tral leased the West Shore road, three years ago. a $50,000,000 !>ond was issued at 4 j)er cent, that had 475 years to run Possibly by the time that debt comes due mankind will need neither railroads nor interest money. The Illinois Central has out various seventy year bonds at from 3; to 5 per cent. The Kentucky Central has some 100 year 4 per cents, while the New Jersey Central has .$50,000,000 5 per eents that run 100 years. Atchison and Topeka bonds ran fifty years. A gentleman well informed on road topics says there are now in the stock market fifty-venr railroad to the amount of $800,000,000. and of thirty and forty-year lionds, §500,000, 000. In Great Britain railroads have carried the long bond business so far that their mortgages are practically never paid, Tlieir permanent debts amount to §2,500,000,000. Their rate of interest is from 11 to 5 percent., with a very smail amount at 0 per cent. Dwarf's in Africa. Probably the most ancient race on the globe aro the strange dwarfs who it is now certain inhabit a considerable ixir lion of Centra! Africa. There are two tribes of them—the Alika, or Wambutti people, north of Stanley's Aruwini river, and the ftatwa, south of the Congo. Tiie two appear to be a kindred people. In general there seems to be about as vieiottsfiess inclosed in their make¬ up as a body of 4J feet high can iioid.

Greeley was there as the correspondent of his own paper. Re seems to have disliked Washington, a nd speaks of it as “this hole.” In his first letter he says: “Living here is hor¬ ribly dear for those who have to see peo pie.

There are a doze: here who will do better for my eye being ou them Tho Tribune was a very great power r in the land in those days. It was tin j head and front of the little party that j was trying to organize itself against sla- 1 very, and its utterances were looked fo ! daily with eagerness by both its friends and its enemies. Like great editors in ; all t< times, Greeley was held responsible r everv word in his paper. He was ! threatened with violence and death viu’i ous times during 1S55-0. In January, 1850, lie writes to Dana; Every traitor and self seeker hates me with a demoniac hatred, which is perpetually bursting; out Lastly your friend. Jutige Shanklaud, gen eval of tho Kansas volunteers, has notified me that he shall cowhide mo (for rudeness in refus i ig to he further bored by him) the first time he catches me in public.

Once he was actually vaulted by Mr Rust. Dana <\ v ; e d into The Tribune ex tracts from other papers, showing the outrageous character of the attack. Thereupon Greeley writes to him: 1 ivouid Dot publish articles about gust's as sauit on me. Hut especially tiio.se that speak c f my weakness, iaotfeusivcucss, etc. 1 do not desire ant sympathy At all events, 1 don’t wish to beg for it It was as much as a man’s life worth to speak his mind on certain topic s in those duvs. Yet not for one moment did tiie great editor keep silence. He was vexed beyond measure that Tho Tribune had allowed tiie pro-slavery part of Pierce's message to go by without a good round editorial rating, atthesame time that it had printed eleven columns oil the feasibility cf sustaining Italian opera i:i New York city. lie begins his letter: Friend Dana—What would it cost to burn the Opora hoitse? If the price is reasonable, have it done and send m»» the bill Tiie letters show Greeley oftentimes worried, sometimes furious, and attimt alt'Sst wild. It was during th© long and tedious contest that ended in the election of Banks to the speakership in the win¬ ter of 1850. Greeley was then working ; with might and main for Banks. • Gajoi ery, argument, persuasion, every known inducement was used to win over mi he rents to the Banks party. Sometimes a member would be recalcitrant. Then Greeley would attack him in the paper After a time he would yield, and lie won for Banks. Not knowing this, Mr. Dana at home, perhaps, would continue to stab him artistically in the paper. He would j see this and fly into a rage, curse The Tribune, and swear be would never vote for Banks. Greeley in despair would write: Dana—I Khali have to quit here or die unless you slop ultaeliing peop.o without eoasulUni- me. After the election of Banks, Greeley writes of somebody who ia probably still I alive, as Mr. Dana does not give his | name: j -may be os pi'uat a rascal as he is rascals repr<» ■ if so, l bng’in to see the utility of in the general economy of things batiks would never have bec»n elected without him lie car. ttill you a story as interesting as the Arabian Nights, and n great dual true* ilc bus (lout: more and incurred more odium to elect liauks than would have been involvtnl in beating ten speakers It is odd to note the uncertainty and slowness of the mails between New York and Washington thirty years ago. We note, too, that Greeley was anxious and felt ill used as a callow beginner in jour¬ nalism when his letters were not printed immediately. One of his maxims was this: "Never waste ammunition on those who have already committed suicide.” Greeley wrota of the paper’s southern policy: l charge j-oa above all things not to allow any tiling to get in which seems impelled by hatred of the south or a desire to humiliate that section. One of the letters begins: "Dana, for God's sake, speak the truth to me.” The National Guards have never beet, in better shape than they are at present. Congress apportioned §100.090 for militia expenses among the states according t<> population this year, and the citizen sol iliers in some of tiie states are making good use of it. A member of the medical staff of the Chicago insane asylum thinks that death would be better for women than being sent to that as;, lum.

Biciiiop, the Mind Header. The Society for Psychic Research have admitted that occurrences take place which cannot be accounted for bv tho ordinary laws of matter. Bishop, the mind reader, so called, gave the best proof in modern times that there are facts lieyond the ken of the ordinary five senses. Bishop always said that he per formed his feats in a semi-hypnotic con¬ dition. Ilis mind reading was more properly thought transference. If an article was hidden anywhere, in the house in which he was or out of it. Bishop, blindfolded, and grasped 1 bv the wrist bv the man * * who , , luJ , the article , or one of Ins . accorn pliers, would walk directly to the spot and find it. In Boston bo drove a cat’¬ riage, blindfolded, through the streets for several squares in quest of the hid¬ den object and found it. Th© only condition' he made was that the ix'i son who grasped his wrist should keep his mind on each step of the road to tho hidden thing, leading gra.ln ally, mentally, to tho thing itself. Bv “ transference of nervous or psychic in¬ fluence from his leader to Bishop, tho latter, remaining quit© passive mentally, was drawn ou till lie found the article. This and like feats were called muscle reading bv main Bishop always said that anybody could do them. It is a fact that in a company of half a dozen persons there will generally be found one or more who accomplish these facts. But latterly Bishop lias succeeded in somo of Ilia performances without any physical contact at all Ho has np preached the sphere of a real mind r °ader. It was in accompiisuing his most marvelous feat, reading a thought without physical contact, that be at lout met his death. For some time he has been subject _ to Cataleptic seizures, At tho close of the greatest triumph of lus life, he was taken with one of these attacks and never re covered. His irregular habits of life may have hastened his end. Ho was of a superlatively fine and sensitive nervous temperament, exactly the organization that cannot endure alcoholic stimulants or excesses of anv kind. Butdlishop put no chock upon himself. His health was •BiCi rtain, and if is said ho was insane for a time. lie was only 11 years old at Iris death. Tho summing up of his case must bo that ho undoubtedly manifested powers which science cannot account for at pres ent. Beautify the Earth. Hero in America wo have destroyed much of tho original beauty nature put into the landscape, and have not replaced it with the beauty of civilization. The scarred, yawning face of tho earth in places where man has wounded it and left it makes tho landscape unsightly throughout our whole country. “ The sense of the beautiful should least prompt us to make our door yards lovely. It is the time of year for this. Tho living green of our own native blue grass waits to be transplanted to spots which man and woman have rendered hideous. In great cities a door yard is a luxury. But in towns and villages it belongs to almost every home, however lowly. If you have it, niako it a thing of beauty. Gather no tho rubbish over it, every scrap, and put it where nobody will ever SCO it Level off the vard, loosen its sur face and cover it with tho over glorious emerald sod. In one corner plant a clumpof old fashioned liinc bushes. Tiie children will carry tho perfume of the lilac blossoms in their hearts along past many a iveary milestone on the du: •y road of life after you are dead and buried. Plant roses, too, and other flowers, but not so many as to obscure the emerald grass. Plant trees and vines. Have shade and greenness and bright coloring all about your home, though it be a rented cabin of one room. Teach your children to make their school house yards fifaiuli ful, too. •‘tims oar 1 Two characteristics mark tiie Russian people: an intense reverence for the czar, and an idolizing adoration for tho mere picture of any royal or sacred personage. While visiting Kieff, Mr. Morrison, an English lawyer, entered a telegraph of¬ fice. As he passed through the door, he gave tho usual continental salute by raising his hat; but be had advanced only a few steps within the room, when a loud shout bade him take off his hat. The English¬ man went up to the shouting official, and apologized for his unintentional rudeness. j “It is not for me, sir,” replied theclerk. “It is for tho emperor,” and he pointed over hi3 shoulder to an unflattering col ored picture of his majesty Alexander m.

It is a good plan for those who wish to improve their throats to chew pure spruce :r.nu, pine gum or that of the compass wood of the western prairies, for the ex¬ ercise of the jaws develops the throat, and the resinous qualities of the gum strengthen digestion. 1 don't mean to recommend the habit of chewing gum, is practiced U Its devotees, but there xvr was nil unsightly Iiabit which had 3 12 ich to be said for it. Rank dyspep¬ tics, with the coating eaten off their stomachs, as the doctors say, find relief to their oravi, ;s by chewing pure spruce gum. and all agree that the lungs are ; a:tt‘’l- for it.
