PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 2M. 15c. per £1 sterling
On oompariug these rates with the English Mint price 01
lis.lold. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly 'dearer in Paris than iu
London.

The steamship Japan arrived at San Francisco,
Nov. 22, from Hongkong and Yokohama, with 557 Chinese

DULUTH.—Iire lately noticed the rapid growth of
this rising little city. From the Duluth Alinnesotian of
the 13th ult. we take the following telegrams, which have
inaugurated the completion of telegraphic communication
with that city :—" Duluth, Minnesota, Nov. 11, 1869. To
the Mayor of Chicago. Telegraph completed. Duluth,

BicE, Mayor of Chicago."

LAD VERrissusNT. J—lienceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of. Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th:—" Rome, July 21,1806. - The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly," We
extract a few out ofmore than 68,000 cures:—Caro No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness de Brehaa, of seven years' liver complaint
