CURRENT TOPICS. 
Soldier*’ Homesteads— The Land Department 
of the Northern Pacific Railroad gives notice 
that there are abundant government, lands, of 
the very finest quality, along the line of that 
road in Central Minnesota, which are open to 
setllement as free homesteads. Lands of this 
character near to raflroitd3 are now compara¬ 
tively scarce in the West. The above-named 
Company carries all homestead settlers over its 
line at reduced rates, and gives them the free 
use of a comfortable Reception House while 
they nre selecting their land and preparing a 
house. Information, maps, etc., may bo ob¬ 
tained by addressing the Rand Department, 
N. I*. R. Tt., at 23 Fifth Avenue, New York. 
of the architecture of buildings has neooniu 
the current topic ft f most large towns. Mansaid 
roofs arc denounced because Mansard roofs 
helped to spread the flame* in Boston. Why 
not ent the throats of all cows because Mrs. 
O’Leary’S cow kicked over a kerosene lamp in 
a stable «r wood, in the midst of wooden build¬ 
ings, lumber yards, etc., and set Chicago on fire ? 
Some cities propose prohibiting the erection of 
Mansard roola because Boston was burned, 
why not prohibit the use of fires iu cities be¬ 
cause Are burned Boston ? We are theqneei est 
people on the face of the earth when we get in 
a freak to Ik- so! Mansard roofs can be built 
juft its safely us any othc-r-of material that 
will not born more than that, ef any other roof. 
Sensible, plain, common sense people will think 
it far better to so erect and arrange building* 
for lighting and heating them ft* to lessen dan¬ 
ger from tiro, ami Improve and Increase the 
agencies for putting the fire out if it once be¬ 
gins to burn. Why should the root, or sty lc of 
roof, or it building be condemned more than 
its inflammable contents?

Forty Thousand Jaws to Colonize In the 
United States. 
The General Land Office at Washington has 
received Information that a movement is on 
foot, by the Israelites of Buropc for settling tt 
colony of Roumanian and Continental Jews In 
this country. A company is formed with a 
paid-up capital of $ 1.500,000, who contemplate 
settling in thin country some8,000families, com¬ 
prising 40.000 persons, mid the question is pre¬ 
sented to the General Land Office whether the 
United States Government will extend to the 
company a title to a tract of land, euy 250,000 
acres, for this purpose, on condition that so 
many families should bo located annually, it 
being the desire to have but one settlement. 
The Lind Department has replied that there is 
no law providing fur the. disposal of public 
lands tn the manner proposed, even If a com¬ 
pact body of land comprising such an area 
could bo found, but shows how the title may be 
acquired by the beads of these families under 
existing laws, and furnishes the writer with the 
necessary circulars relative to the public lands 
of the United States.

MONEY AND TRADE AFFAIRS, 
New York, Monday. Nov. 18. 1872. 
There was loss excitement In the Money and Stock 
markets last week, on account of the Boston lire, 
than the opening of business on Monday morning 
threatened. Money ruled dear, and the merchants 
wanted more discounts thun the bunks could accom¬ 
modate, while on the Street the rates on first-class 
paper were9.3di percent. The Stock Brokers had 
frequently to pay a bonus over 7 percent.. Tot demand 
loans, but the! had no serious difficulty In getting all 
they required, while the Slock market rapidly recov¬ 
ered from the first panic decline in prices. Our 
present table Of quotations Is nearly up to week be¬ 
fore lust on most of the ltuUronds and Telegraph. 
The l’aciflu Mail still lingers below 90percent..owing 
to some suspense in regard to tbe fine steamship Ari¬ 
zona, out of t ime between Panama and Aan Francisco. 
The Treasury was not culled upon for the rolief of 
Boston by any extra measures to ease the Money 
market, and the sales of gold and purchases of U S. 
5-20s. were only to the usual weekly sum of *1,000,000 
each way. 
The shipments of Gold prove but temporary, and 
the open market is nearly one per cent, lower than 
last Monday. The shipments of the week were *5,- 
550.000. 
Trade in Merchandlse is moderate. The Dry Goods 
business,as usual, Is dull In November, and will so 
continue, no doubt, until after the New Year, The 
export demand for Colton and other Produce is fulr- 
ly active, and ahead of last season in respect to the 
value of oleuniuees from this and the Southern ports. 
The reassembling of Congress early In December 
will probably re-opett questions of Currency and 
Banking. The progress of trade and railroad build¬ 
ing bos evidently gone ahead of the supply of Cur¬ 
rency, and tbe National Bank Circulation demands 
more elasticity to keep the Money market from ex¬ 
ceptional stringency In t.hc Full and Winter season. 
The last quarterly National Bank Statement shows 
a lower pro rata of lawful Money to the immediate 
liability of the Banks than vver before—two per cent, 
lower than in June. Binco 1870 the Treasury has 
withdrawn *40,0G0,u00 Greenback Certificates, here¬ 
tofore employed as a banking basts, a,id there has 
been no accession «t the Money centers of Greenback 
Notes, in sufficient sums to take their place. In the 
Intervening two years the liabilities of the Banks 
have increased *200.000,000, which, at 20 per ceut., 
should require 140,000,000 more basis than before. 
The country, on the other hand, has *41.000,000 more 
Bunk (limitation, but all this slays out In the South 
and West, to which quarters the Act of lS70distribut- 
ed the new Issue, and it la only for h few weeks in 
the Summer that the New York Banks accumulate 
more Notes than required for their ordinary business-

James Anthony Froude, the English his¬ 
torian, came hither to enlighten American peo¬ 
ple as to the relations which have existed and 
do exi-t. between England and Ireland. He 
has given us t In-English vknv of the question, 
the English phase of these relations. They have 
been both plausible and inconsistent with what 
is regarded the humane in civilization. Hie 
facts have been interest ing, and have attracted 
the attention of students of history. Baying 
this to an Irishman, the other day. he said: 
“His facts are itV.n. sir! d-ble lies; that is, 
such of them as arc essential to the support of 
his position." He has certainly roused the Irish 
nature in tills country, and the ltev. Father 
Burke is replying to him In a series of lectures, 
giving the Irish view of the subject. Two lec¬ 
tures havo been delivered. He analyzes Mr. 
Froude’a leotures with a good deal of sharp¬ 
ness, yet always with good nature. So between 
the two views tho truth may be reached in

Man’s Inhumanity to Man. 
In our old writing books, “Man’sinhumanity 
to man makes countless thousands mourn," 
was written and re-written until it became au 
axiom. Tim manner in which patients In hos¬ 
pitals, tho insane, the culprits in prison, the 
workmen and apprentices under bosses, are 
often treated by those who, clothed with a 
little brief authority, forget that no man is fit 
to govern others who does not know how to 
govern himscif, the revelations of cruelty, of 
inhumanity, which have been made as to the 
treatment of patients in insane hospitals by 
irresponsible “ attendants ” and “ nurses,’’ are 
sad commentaries upon our civilization, and 
will cause those wbo have friends so unfortu¬ 
nate as to be diseased with insane maladies, to 
shrink Trom subjecting them to the chances of 
such treatment. Does civilization make men 
callous? Or is the civilization and enlighten¬ 
ment of the pre-ent but one remove from the 
barbarism and brutality of the past? 
Thler* President for Life. 
France is a queer country and the French a 
queer people. One reading the current of 
events there, cannot help thinking of a bat uis- 
turhod in the sunlight or of the owl imitating 
the eagle at mid-day, such is the floundering 
which the people are evidently making to put 
on the harness of civil liberty and adjust them¬ 
selves to the new order of things. A few days 
ago it was announced that an effort was to be 
made in the National Assembly to make Thiers 
President of France for life. Now it is asserted 
that Thiers don’t want t.o be President for life. 
AYe should think not, indeed! Who would? it 
would be almost equivalent to a sentence to 
State's Prison for life for any man to be made 
President, of a republic for tbnt length of lime, 
so far as actual weur and tear is concerned. 
SEMI-BUSINESS PARAGRAPHS, 
To Lead ull Competitors is the aim of the 
proprietors of the New Wilson Under Feed 
Sewing Machine. It is founded on the very- 
best principles known in the sewing machine 
science, and improvements, in advance of all 
oilier sowing machines, arc being adopted con¬ 
stantly. Tne Wilson is rapidly gaining the pref¬ 
erence of all parties that are acquainted with 
sewing machines, and it baa already taken the 
front rank among the first-class machines of 
this country; and its price, owing to its being 
manufactured where labor and material is 
much cheat er than in Eastern cities, is fifteen 
dollars loss than all other first-class machines, 
which fact alone is sufficient to induce all to
