{ the number of thousands of these ne-
eroes in Rome; but from the inciden-
tal mention’ made of them in the Latin
authors, they must have been quite nu-

| first importation to the end of the em-
| pire, there must have bean at least,
1,000,000 brought into Italy, though
this ts-must-probably but a very mod-
| erate estimate. ‘These must have mix-

absurd ; for every one who has stueied
tha subject of raza, or observe l the ef-

appt, at all times, this freedom
| from admixture in that country is even
| much more remarkable than in the
| case of Italy.
| There is one way of accounting for
| these facts, and but one, and thatis,
| that so different are the Caucasian and
| Afrieen races that they cannot be
| permanently mingled together. The
mixture produces a being which, if not
La partial hybrid is, at least, a subject
| to diseasa tht it can be propagated to
| but a few generations, when it dies out.
i We sce this tendency in this country
almost forcibly shown in small number
of desendants of mulattoes. Now and
| then we see a quadroon, in Virginia,
| very seldom ap octoroon, and beyond
| that degree the blood can not be said
to exist at all.
It is this tendency of the mongrel to
die out that has destroyed all traces of
negro blood among the Indians and
Egyptians. Those of them who were
sprung from negroes died out many
centuries ago, leaving the original stock
as perfectly pure as if there had never
been an African imported into either
Romeor the kingdom of the Pharaohs.
And thus will it be in the South.
Not only will the pure negro race van-
ish from the earth in the course of a
few generations, from causes which
must make even the slightest admix-
ture of blood will be left among us; the
same effects will result in the South as
in Italy and Egypt, and there will not
be left a trace, save in history, of the
African race having ever existed in

Glimpses at Fashion’s Boudoir.
There are few subjects that have
been productive of such an amusing
amount of song, satire and moralizing
as the startling mutations in female
attire. Yet, notwithstanding tAe*vio-
lence and point by which the attacks
may have been characterized, the love-
ly votaries of the fickle goddess Fash.
ion, have ever been inflexibly faith-
ful to their mistress, and have invari-
ably vanquished all opposition. Wo-
man is not inaptly defined by an an-
cient cynic to be “an animal that de-
lights in finery ;” and the ancient man-
ifestations of fashion seem to prove it.
In almost every age of the world’s his-
tory it has been a preplexing problem
to decide how much the belle of the
| period owed to nature and how much
to art. Apparently we are as far re-
moved from a satisfactory solution of
| the question as our ancestors. The mis-
| tery that now adays attaches to every
| portion of the female figure, where bold
| and swelling curve are desirable, is
positively paralyzing in its perplexity.
| Paniers, bends, chignons, pads and the
thousandand one contrivances by which
| Broadway beauties are made up, ren-
| most curiously interesting animal in

With respect to other ar-
propose to show from quaint old obser-
vers that in almost every particular
our great, great, great grandmothers,
in the matter of aggravated extrav-
agance, were decidedly ahead of
us,
Take the last perplexing contortion
—the Grecian bend—for example;
and we find from various stinging illu-
sions or satirists and caricaturists of the
period, that it raged in all its ungain-
ly deformity in 1753; and that women
then reduced themselves as nearly the
shape of monkeys as possible. Writing
of fashions in France, the Countess of
Wilton delicately says: “It excites
entertainment to know that inventions
for increasing the size of the female
figure behind were common under the
last Princ: of Valois.” While in
England, at the same time, the dresses
of the ton are described as—
“Bouncing behind— with flounces in
rows,
Puff and pucker up knotson your arms
and your toes.”
It seems curious that the artificial
posterior hump should have rendered
enormously high heeled boots then as
now an essential portion of dress. But
so it seems, as the following extract
from a versifier in the Salisbury Jour-
nal of 1754, will show :
“Mount on French heels when you go
to a ball,
"Tis the fashion to totter and show you
can fall.”
Another observant chronicler of the
same period gives some additional par-
ticulars. He says, “they wear their
shoes high, both painted and patched,”
while still another rhymer almost ac-
curately describes the pedestrian at-
tempts of modern ladies of fashion in
the lines,
“Tottering like the fiir Chinese—
Mounted high and buckled low
Tottering every step they go.”
A clever satire in the London Mag-
azine three years later, 1777, indicates
that some modifications had been effec-
ted in the fashions, and that in fact
they were more preposterously absurd
than in 1753.—Albion.

outrages in Alaska, already published,
that the Indians guilty of the recent
murders belong toa warlike tribe
called the Kakes or Kakeons. They
committed many murders and out
rages heretofore, always escaping pun-
ishment. Upon hearing of the mur-
ders of the traders, General Davis pros
ceeded in the steamer Saginaw to the
neighborhood of the tribe. Finding
it deserted, he ordered their villages
burned, the tribe was frightened. Davis
does not anticipate any serious trouble
and feels master of the situation. The
steamer Saginaw is to be fitted out, and

of the Kakes to further punish them
if the murderers are not surren-

Reports prevailed of the death of ex-
President Johnson, at his home in
Greenville. Inquiries were everywhere
made as to the truth of the rumors,
They were doubtless based on the in-

alarming condition of his health, a
private telegram having represented he
was dangerously ill last night; but a
dispatch dated this evening says that
the ex-President’s condition isnow very
much better.

The Senate of Bhode [sland has re-
fused to ratify the suffrage amend-
ment to the Federal Constitution.
The object of the Senate was to post-
pone action until the May meeting of
the legislature. In the meantime
there is to be an election of a new leg-
‘slature by the people. The example
of Rhode Islan is lost on the radi-
cals of Pennsylvania. Rhode Island
has adopted negro suffirge for herself
long a ago, but er legislature is not
willing to ratify an amendment which
affects other States without aclear ex-
pression of the sentiments of the peo-
ple. The radical cravens in the Penn-
sylvania legislature dare not even sub-
mit the question of amending the State
Constitution to the people.
