Sailing Of the Baltic Fleet-Ihe Baltic fleet, the

anxious thousands crowded The waters of the So.

last adieu and breathe their good wishes for sue

two gay yachts braved the uncomfortable wealth

their anchorage under canvas. There was no
good Queen there to wish success nor were the

hope of returning IN the autumn, deserving of be

Prices must come Dotcf1 The New York Cour-
ier. after inquiries respecting the present supply
and quantities to come forward of agricultural
products, hazards the opinion that prices have
reached their highest and the next movement will
be retrograde one, although present prices may
be maintained two or three weeks. The Courier
bases its opinion on the fact that there are one
million five hundred thousand barrels of flour to
come forward before harvest, from the Western
States and the Canadas which are awaiting the
opening of the canals in the State Fifty
thousands bushels OF potatoes on their way
TO the New York market from Nova Scotia I'M
der the reciprocity law, The crop of potatoes in
Nova Scotia last year very large. Free
trade has, within few weeks, opened this market
to consumers and the chances are that liberal
supply will come forward, under the present high
prices. We hope for the benefit of consumers,
that these predictions may be realized The high
prices of food affect many kinds of business in.
jnriousy as II takes nearly all the money the la
boring population earn to find themselves in
food, which they cannot do without.

The Pope and the C=ar.-In 1915, when the
Emperor Nicholas in Rome he visited ."His
Holiness" and the latter reproached him with his
prosecutions of the Catholics. The car did not
deny his different ukases which the pope had pur-
posey collected and pointed out to him. He ac-
knowledged them, on the contrary, very frankly,
and justified them by saying he acted in this man.
ner because he could not naturally regard Cath>
olicism the true religion. At these words,
Gregory XVI. rose, and placing both hands on
the shoulders of the autocra said, in the presence
of Cardinal Acton, Well, then, emperor of Rus.
STA, |, in my twofold character of an old man and
the chief of Christianity, curse thee, and sooner or
later this maediction will reach your head, how
ever lofty it may be-" The Paris Universe relates
the above, which is certainly dramatic.

A VISIT TO THE BATTLE FIELDS.

correspondent of the New Orleans P;cayune
at Brownsville writes:
have just returned from visit to the battle
grounds of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma,
but scarcely vestige remains to denote those
fields which rebound so much to the gallantrY of
our regular army. On the former field cannon
ball IS occasionally picked up, which is the only
indication that it was ever used except for the
peaceful purpose of grazing the large herds which
at present roam over it.
g AT the Resaca de Ia Palma the faint outlines
of the recoubt which the Mexcans occupied on
the west bank of the Resaca, still visible but
SO overgrown with brush and underground that
they can scarcely be followed. One or two trees
still show marks of the strife, and few shreds oil
old shoes and an occasional battered canteen are
also to be found in the chapparel but there is
nought else to show that here the scene Of
one OF the most closely contested fights of the
war, where bayonets often crossed, and where
hand to hand fights were frequent, the scattered
combatants met beneath the shades of sweet
| scented minora or amidst the tangled brush

IL We are gratihed to announce to rea-
ders CATHARTIc Pill, (of which see advertise
ment in our colums) from that justly celebrated
Physician and Chemist, Dr., J. G. AVER. His
Cherry Pectoral, everywhere known as the best
remedy offered to the Public for Coughs, &c,
has prepared them to expect that any thing from
his laboratory would be worthy of attention. As
no one medicine is more universally taken than
Physical Pill, the public will be glad to know
of one from such a trustworthy source. We
happen to know, and can assure them that this
article has intrinsic merits, fully equal to any
compound that has ever issued from his Cruci-
bes and consequently is well worthy d trial
whenever such medicine becomes necessary

The following account of Mr.. HOLLOWAY s
NEWSPAPER MUSEUM will be read with interest !:
Mr.. HoLLowAY is certainly a very remarkable
man in some respects. His business is carried to
many and distant countries, requiring large writ
ten correspondence; unfagging attention, and
promptness in pecuniary matters Ii, IN our bust
ness intercourse with him, we have Just idea OF
his character as business man, we doubt wheih-
er he is excelled either in Europe America
We have been surprised at one thing, and that is,
that in the transaction of such large business he
finds time in his correspondence, 10 display so
much politeness in SO handsome manner. Nor
is il mere French work, we think, but genuine
cleverness. Moreover, he seems to know good
deal about almost every thing and you not un-
frequently find him dropping a remark about
matters near you, and which you would suppose
would escape the attention of foreigner. His
Newspaper Museum, however. explains it-and
il is to that we beg ID call attention.

The President and his Policy.-The New York
Evening Post deprecates the war tone of the
Washington Union and other administration iourn-
ais as prejudicial TO the business interest of the
Countrywide editor assumes that
If the warlike givings out of those prints which
pass for the organs of the administration are not
authorized, the public have right to know it
1t has been suggested that delegation of the most
eminent merchants from this city should proceed
to Washington to inquire of Mr.. Pierce whether
the alarm by which the community is agitated
has any just foundation. We do not see that there
would be any reason on his part for Withholding
the information. A declaration of his intentions
would either have effect of quoting the apprehen
sions which exist. or of admonishng the mercan-
tile community to prepare for the worst.

The Coal Nine Explosion-We give few par
ticuars of the explosion at the Midlothian Coal
Mines, in addition to those furnished by tele-
graph:
The pits were considered perfectly safe, from
foul air but in making blast an old shaft sink
ing accidenty, crashed from which poured forth a
volumn of gas that became ignited
The explosion caused the earth for miles around
to wave and rock like twig in the wind Over
one hundred white miners were fortunately out oil
the pit at the time. Every effort made to
rescue those that were alive Dead men were
found with the flesh charred to their bones, hold
ing shovels, picks and drills in their hands. The
flesh those still alive is burned to the bone as
if it had been roasted The pits are seven hun
dred and seventy feet deep.

A Fearful -Adrenture-Last Saturday, Thrift
ling coincidence occurred at Pattersons Falls, II
Sparta about five miles north OF this village: A
little boy only four years old. of Mr.. r. L.
Patterson, left the house of his parents about two
o'clock and wandered to the head of the falls half
mile distant He not returning at five O'Clock,
a search was made in the direction of the falls
when at once the worst fears of his parents were
realized.
He had gone over the brink of the precipice,
and his track in the snow gave evidence, which
covred the more abrupt juts of of the falls. In
the distance below dark speck was all that could
be seen, and nothing could be heard except the
sepulchural roar of the wafer. After considera-
bic difficulty the summit of the falls effected.
The dark sneck proved to be a hole produced by
the fall from which he thrown into the snow
about three yards to the left He had fallen one
hundred, and finding he could not retrace his steps
he ventured further, passing three other falls
less dangerous, where he was found nearly fro
zen.
According to the boys account, he then felt sick.
He was immediately taken to the house, and soon
revived. What is particularly providential is the
fact that he received no other injury than sht
bruise upon his head and the severe cold he suf
fered while in his dismal abode He honored us
with a. visit yesterday. ard we found him pat
tern ola boy worth looking at.-DansuiHe ~ Y.
