ARE WE BECOMING INDIANS?
Certain mvhus of Enropo have ceased for n
while their ponderous speculations oil the hal ita
of the megatherium and the food of the
ichthyoBanrus, and casting aside their favorite
Dryasdust topics, they are bonding all the
cnorgies of their mighty minds to an estab
lishment of the theory that, "Americans are
rapidly assuming the physical characteristic''
of Indians." "A Hciontilic gentleman of Phi
ladelphia," who has very prudently eoyualod
his name, has unhappily exposed to j4''rench
mau the family aecrets which he should have
kept closely locked in the recesses of his sci
entific breast, but as tho Frenchman has cru
elly blabbed them to the world, and the worst
is now known, wo may as well repeat here
the evidence he has given to support tho in
dictment which has been brought against us:
"Tho Anglo-American prcsmiU from tlio second
generation cltHraoturislloa of tue. t.vpu which is nt
unlike Unit of liif l.euiu be: uiifH, t tit) IrviuoH, and
Hie Cherokee l,i buis. Tlio skin bee me dry as
leather; it loses me warui'li of color ami ruddiness
of cheeks, and In their sUta I iiih color of mU'l tinc
tures it in men, and nil Insipid paleness in women.
The head decreases in si,.', and lice imei round or
pointed. ItUeovereilwi.li sin 'th hair of a dark
color. The neck lengthens. The eyes are sunken
in deep cavities whicii are q'lii.o near each other.
The Iris becomes dark ; Hie eye's epressl n piercing
and wild. The long bones lorjrtlieii chleily iu the
upper extremity."
When "ye gentle s wage" were driven from
their lands, thirsting for revenge, they little
knew what a terrible fate awaited us, anl
even the most blool-thirsly warriors who
have been translated to liu happy hunting
grouuds where big chiefs win take heap white
bcalps are supposed to jj'i. must look down
with gnm satisfaction u ion the result of our
aggressions, as it is recrdi .1 in tho above ex
tract. In tho "Arabian Nights" enchanters
merely turn a fow men into stones, or dogs,
or birds, or beasts, temporarily, and they
usually are soon restored to their normal
condition. Hut here tho whole Anglo-American
race, which runs up now to many mil
lions, become from tho second generation
like unto "the Lenni Lenapos, tho Iroquois,
and the Cherokee Indians." No wonder that
the republic is going to tho dogs !
Where
would we be if wo did not receive a large in
fusion of European virtuo uud superiority in
the ship-loads of English, German, and Irish
emigrants V
The statement in regard to American com
plexions is quite alarming. Perhaps tho men
may reconcile themselves to the fearful doom
of having their skin forever tinctured with
the "color of mud" by the hope that means
may yet be found iu the lager-boor shops and
the whisky-mills for restoring "warmth of
color and ruddiness of checks;" but what will
our women think of tho allegation that their
countenances are uniformly characterized by
an'insipid paleness ?"' Must we send to Paris
for whole ship-loads of French rouge ?
And then our heads, too, decrease iu sizo,
and become round or pointed! Whilo we are
felicitating ourselves upon tbe size in well as
the quality of the American brain, tho scien
tific gentleman of Philadelphia rudely dispels
this pleasing illusion. Since the date of his
epistle, too, a confirmation of his theory is
afforded by tho fact that a burglar confined
in the Isew lork iomos loreea no., only ins
head but his whole body through a. wonder
fully small aperture; and when he writes again
to Paris we hope he will give his views at
length on the question whether Americans
are purposely cultivating extra small heads ou
account of the facilities they give for escaping
from prisons.
To complete the mortification of American
ladies, they aro invariably doomed, in this age
of blondes, to possess hair "of a dark color,"
and instead of bewitching their lovers with
deep blue eyes, they are forced to bo content
with dark orbs possessing a wild and picrc ing
expression. It is possible that at tho worst
the hair might bo dyed, but no means have
yet been devised for eradicating the fierce
Indian glare which darts from every Amorican
countenance, and if any timid young Parisian
beaux come to this country, let them look
well to their nerves !
The indictment does not rest wholly on tho
evidence which was treacherously furnished
from our own city. It has been discovered
in Paris that "the French glovers all make
gloves for the American market with much
longer fingers than those intended for Euro
poan consumption. This argument is per
f ectly unanswerable, unless we fall back upon
the theory that our fingers have been length
ened by tho prevailing tendency to clutch
other people's money, instead of an irresisti
ble law that is revenging tho aborigines by
imposing upon their successors all their phy
sical characteristics.
We are also told that "the language of
Americans tends more and more in its stan
dard phrases to become like the red men's."
Here is another strong link in the chain of
evidence closing round us. We cannot deny
that some of our leading politicians love to
"talk Indian," and such Indiau phrases as
"how," "big drink," "whisky," "scalp,"
"tomahawk," "papoose," and "squaw," have
been introduced into our vocabulary to a fear
ful extent.
Tii "iiiiPiisv. feverish, and incessant
activity" which inspires tho Yankee, and espe
cially the propensity for whittling, are set
dow n as clear evidences that we are becoming
Indians. Some people may entertain tho no
tion that the aborigines were naturally indo
lent, except when absolute necessity forced
them to seek food or to wage war against
theu enemies, and it is not easy to under
stand how they whittled incessantly before
they had knives, but tho Bcientifio gentlemen
have settled these matters In their owa way,
and we havo no right to disturb the smooth
and powerful current of their argument.
They have passed. judgment against us, and
the onlysnre remedy for future Americans
who are specially anxious to possess immami
lato skins, hnjr and eyes of the proper color,
heads of good sizo, and other transatlantic
advantages, will be found in timely precau
tions to bo born in Europe, where science and
civilization love to dwell, and whero no fear
of the impress of the dusky shadei of tho
Lcnni Lennpes, tho CUierokees, and tuoTusca-
roras need bo enter-tar
mo i Nuo rln X fin a nci nn.
Dt;i;iN tho past.few days considerable share
of public attention hns Ucon attracted to a
peculiar financial transactioiVjn which George
Mount jof' and Alexander J. Vr'pktman have
figured most conspicuously. This particular
nmrC like .ill nf hor cases, has tvS sides to it.
,lindwill continue to boast of two sides, to
tho confusion of tho public, until i jury of
twtivo men has knocked tho bottdm out of
or.o fide or tho other. Mr. Mount joy it will
bo remembered, dovotcs a large share tf his
time, cnorgies, and capital to tho inariljfac
turo of whisky, but is not quite as acti1ny
engaged in tho business just at present as e
whs some time since, in oonsomionco of tue
revenue officers having seized his establish-!
meut for alleged "informalities." Tho seizure
of course grieved Mr. Mountjoy considerably,
and, therefore, when ho heard that a gontle
mnn, who describes himself succinctly as "a
traveller in Texas, Florida, and Mexico," was
stopping at a hotel in the vicinity of Fair
mount Park with a marvellous machine for
the redistillation of whisky in his possession,
Mr. Mountjoy hastened thither to examine it.
The little "unpleasnt tness" with tho minions
of the law into which ho had boo: lod natu
rally disgusted him with tho imperfect me
chanism which had not proved capable of
avoiding "informalities," and he doubtless
anticipated a future exemption from all such
vexations through tho agoncy of tho neat
device which rumor credited to the posses
sion of tho "traveller in Texas" and other
foreign parts.
To slido, at this point, from Mr. Mountjoy 's
version of the affair to the story told by Mr.
Wigktmnn, we find that tho former did not
trouble himself about tho patent double -action
self-operating machine for the redistf
tillation of whisky when he arrived at the
caravansary near the Park, but sat down to- a
glass of lemonade, with ono eye riveted upon
huge bundle of greonbacks footing up
!fl(),(MiO. The uppermost bill was apparently
a genuine "V," and such, apparently, was
tho character of tho undermost. Those be
twixt and between woro not visible, except as
to their edges. Tho upshot of tho wholo
mutter according to tho Wicrhtman version
is, that the glass of lemonade bo completely
turned the head of Mr. Mountjoy, that he
parted with a duo bill for $1000, and with
ftlOOO in tho genuine filthy lucre of the
period, in return for 10.000 of lucre which
dil not prove as filthy as it might have been.
Hence tho tears which Mountjoy shod, and
the deep distress from which Wightman
was relieved by the magic writ of habeas
corpus.
Such is as consistent and intelligible an
account of the latest city sensation as wo can
deduce from a free draft upon the stories of
btth Hides. In discriminating between the
hue and the false, the probable and tho im
probable, we have received muteri;;l assist
ance from the follow ing announcement, which
is clift.ed from the advertising columns of a
mon.ing contemporary:
"5 . T'illl.APKI.I'IllA.'jlJlA C. I.-Wo. tlio un
dpiMRiii'd. hereby (five notice of our intention to aj ly, l

OH AS. M. HOI.UttMiv.
,1 AS. A. MeMIJM.lN,
J AS. A. McDON'oUCiH."
This gives a color of truth to tho above
hypothesis. Tho banking establishment con
templated by Mr. Mountjoy necessarily
demanded a working capital, and although
10,000 may appear insignificant for such pur
poses to the uninitiated, it was unquestionably
more than $ 4000, and quite sufficient to set
up a concern of the "wild-cat" or "stump
tail"' order. nt it would appear that the
whole financial scheme has been knocked in
tho hend for the present, and with it perishes
likewiso tho laudable desire of Mr. Mountjoy
to avoid future "informalities" iu the whisky
business by the use of Wightman's patent re
distilling apparatus.
THE MUTINY ON THE SABINE.
Vestehday the cable treated us to a harrow
ing story about a mutiny on board of tho
practice ship Sabine, which is now lying at
Cherbourg with a large number of midship
men on board. We are told that a conspiracy
to blow up the ship, in which twenty-two
sailors were implicated, was discovered; that
a fuse placed in communication with the
magazine was actually ignited; that the danger
was discovered by a cabin-boy, who extin
guished tho fire; and, finally, that seven of the
mon were summarily condemned to death and
hanged at tho yard-arm. A despatch from
Washington this morning states that the Navy
Department has no information of this terri
ble occurrence, and that it is not credited.
The story is so extravagant in all its details
that it is almost impossible to believe it with
out some Biiomuiiuai coimniiaiioii. it seems
scarcely possible that tho .commander of the
Sabine would have assumed the responsibility
of hanging seven men without communicating
with the Secretary of the Navy on tho subject
especially when it is possible to communicate
so easily
We have a shrewd suspicion that the wholo
yarn is the concoction of some mischievous
midshipmen, who told it to some anxious
seeker for information at Cherbourg and hud
it telegraphed across tho Atlantio as a good
joke. Midshipmen are addicted to such
things, and this story U so gorgeously blood
thirsty that it is scarcely possible to attribute
to it any other origin. :
There in of course a bare possibility that it
may bo true, and if bo it ought to cause a
strict investigation into the whole system of
naval management and discipline. Admitting
the desperate character of some of the men
who ship on board of our mon-of-war, it doos
not seem likely that twenty-two sailors would
conspire to blow up a Hhip in order to be
revenged upon certain officers unless they
had been outrageously ill used. There have
been various reports lately about the cruel
treatment of men on board of
more than one naval vessel, and for
the credit of the navy theso
should be investigated and the olTending offi
cers brought to justice. The laws for tho
government of the navy are very strict on
this point, and various cruel punishments,
once extensively iu vogue, such as bucking,
gsgging, sweating, tying up by the thumbs,
and othors aro forbidden in tho most explicit
tonus; and tho penalties for tho violation of
theso laws aro sufficiently severe to pro
tect the men, if they are enforced. The
truth is, that the men frequently find
it difficult to get a hearing. The sailors
and tho subordinate officers aro not permittod
to communicate with the Secretary of tho
Navy, except through the commander of the
vessel and tho admiral of tho Uoet, and if
those officers chose to pocket their petition,
as they frequently do, when they are of a
character likely to bring themselves into
1 trouble, tho aggrieved parties have no re
press whatever. It is certainly tune that
there was a chango in this system, and whilo
discipline must be maintained, officers must
be rtmde to respect tho rights of the men
und(V their command, and if any of thase
stories of cruelty which havo lueu set afloat
of late are true, the Secretary of tho Navy
owes it to tho dignity of his office, to the ser
vice itself, and to tho country, to make an
example.
We hope and believe that this Sabine
mutiny may prove to bo a mere myth, but if
it should be true, the mere statement of the
commander of the vessel ought not to be held
sufficient as to the necessity for his action in
the case, but it should bo thoroughly investi
gated and all the facts made known.
Tim Hichmond Wltiy, tho organ of the Wal
ker p.'.rty in Virginia, asserts that there is not
a shadow of a doubt of tho intention of the
legislators belonging to that organization to
ratify the fifteenth amendment to the Consti
tution. It is said that Governor Ssntor ex
presses tho same view in regard to the newly
elected Legislature in Tennessee. Tho uid
of both theso States will probably bo essen
tial to its ratification; o.d whilo we would re
joice in their approval of it, assur inces of
such action by tho incoming Legislatures
must be received with many grains of allow
ance. The Wiiff may be correct in it s opi
nions about tho Virginians, but wo have n
faith whatever in Senter's prognostications of
tho course of tho new Tennessee Legislature.
TllK XKW USK OF ST K Ail COLLWItS.
Some weeks ago we had tho pleasure of deserlbinfr
the trial trip of th.j steam collier Kattle.sjake, the
llrstof tho new line projected by Mr. Walworth 1).
C'rane, with the aid and under the ausplc.; or tin;
Heading Kallroad Company. This line Is an experi
ment, and like all experiments It is opea to a sus
picion of failure until success is actually assured by
practical demonstration of the substantial c'viructer
cl the enterprise. All persons Interested in the coal
trade have long felt the want of some more reliable
and economical means of transportation than the
old-style wooilen colliers, but the dlfllculties in the
way of bringing about au improvement lnv.j been
lnai y. Theso have now been successfully sur
mounted, tin; ltiittlesnake has fully realized
the most sanguine expectations of her
projectors, anil new boats will bu put
upon the line us fast as they can bo turuel out
of the Klnp-yai'd. These steamers will create a com
plete revolution In the coal trade, and by ensuring
rapid transportation and prompt delivery in all
kii' of weather and at all seasons, both shippers
ai. i consumers will be bene:;ted. As an example
of the workings of the new system, we may state
that a ciiri"o of coal was lauded Iu Portsmouth, N.
II., by the Hattlesnake, wlihin seven days from the
time when it was taken from the mines iu Pennsyl
vania. The Kattle.smike has proved herself a
BtLUUch sea-beat, and as fast as it is desirable to
have such a vessel.
The second of this new line of colliers, the Centi
pede, made a trial trip a few days ago, und her per
formances were In a high degree satisfactory. She
run down to Cape May against, a Hood tide inside of
seven hours, ami returned with a fair tide in live
hours ami 111 ty minutes. The. engines worked ad
mirably, making S. revolutions per minute with 'Hi
pounds of steam, and without any heating of Jour
nals or oilier irregularities that are usually to be ex
pected ou occasions of this kind. The Centipede is
170 feet long, with U! feetCiuehes width Hi beam,
t.ud her cargo capacity is ono tons. Like the ltattle
nnake, tho Centipede was designed and built by
Heuney, Son V Co., at Chester, and she
is a fine specimen of their engineering taste and
ability. The Centipede resembles the Hattlesnake
in nearly all particulars, except some of tho arrange
ments on deck, and they both are flue, handsome
vessels, that will do credit to their projectors and
builders wherever they may go. The accommoda
tions for the captain ii ml crew are ample, and, in
fuct, everything about these vessels is of the most
complete and substantial description. The Centi
pede Is under the command of Captain William B.
Kallught r, an able and experienced seaman, who
has oided with his advice in her construction, and
who is highly pleased with her appearance and per
formances. The company will now proceed as rapidly as possi
ble to add new vessels to the line, and it is their in
tention to lay the keels of two 8D0-ton ships and
two of looo tons each. It is estimated that these can
be run with as little cost as the 6o-ton vessels,
while their increased cargo capacity will make them
so much more serviceable.
Wilh a lino of such vessels as these In operation
between this point and all the porta, along our
Atlantic const from Maine to Texas, the delivery of
coal In anv iiiantity and at any required time, with
the utmost promptness, is almost reduced to an ab
solute, certainty, und the ellect cannot be otherwise
than stimulating tothecoul tradu of Philadelphia.
With the wootleu colliers both consumers and
shippers have been annoyed by the uncertainty of
having the coal delivered just wh'sn it is wanted,
and in the winter season it is frequently impossible
to carry on the business of transportation at all.
The bteum colliers obvlato all these dlitlcultles, and
it has been proved already that they are a success.
Tiiekk ake at present probably more rtiUadel-
phlans In Paris than have been seen for a long series
of yeaih ; some attracted, no doubt, by a desire to
w itness the Kmnoror'a f. tt. A very pleasant reunion
of such citizens took place threo days back at the

Messrh. J. Watson So :
In the destructive tire that occurred at Ninth and
Wallace streets, on Tuesday uoon, we had one of
your .celebrated Fire-Proof Safes. It was exposed
to an intense heat for about twenty-four hours. The
building was large and tilled with much combustible
material. On opening the safe we found all our
books and valuable papers completely preserved and
aa bright and fresh as when put In the safe. The
heat-resisting qualities of your safes ari really
wonderful, and we think greut advantage is derived
from your Inside door improvement. We shall want
another of your safes.

cpi tiliii: it I found everything destroyed, and fire
buri:lnji therein.
Y( a will recollect, gentlemen, there was several
of jour Safes in t hat lire, also several in the lire at
Elxrn and commerce Mrcets, the next May, Ave
weeks afterwar.ls, all of which upon being opened
proved tiicy were Ure-proof indeed, for I witnessed
the opening of tin; must of them, aud In every ease
the t'OLteiits were preserved, while Safes of other
mikeiH were partially or entirely destroyed. I at
( lice com luded to have something that I could dc
pctM upon, and purchased one of your Safes.
The safe I purchased of you at that time was sub
jected to a white heut (which was witnessed by sev
eral gentlemen that reside in the neighborhood) at
the destruction of my Marble Paper factory, 921
Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of the
24th Inst. Alter digging the safe from the ruins,
and opening it this morning, I was much pleased to
ilnd everything, consisting of books, papers, money
and silverware, all right. I shall want another of
your safes as soon aa I can get a place to continue
niv business in. I could not rest contented with any
other make of bares.
