We quote these scales of charges of the three
classes of hotels, because the memoranda may
be useful in the hands of every one, as a basis
of calculation, and standard by which to make
settlements, allowance being made for the vari-
ations of the compass in different ATTITUDES
| LORD JOHN RUSSELL and suite, while at
Vienna, numbered so many persons as to oc.
cupy thirty-two rooms at the Hotel Munich
and what with the continual visits of couriers
and of his Lordship's travelling countrymen,
the Hotel seemed transformed into an English
colony. His Lordship had with him his wife
and six children, his doctor, the tutor and the
governess of his children, besides three young
English ladies of quality, and ten domestics
1t would be worth ian exchange paper remarks)
while to get the bill of expenses for all this
party, and also to inquire what such suite had
to do with a grave diplomatic visit of brief
duration.
AN EXTENSIVE LUxURY.-An inquiry into
the cost of fashionable amusements always DEM
onstrates that "the sordid ministers of reli-
gion " do not get all the peoples money The
New York Mirror, abiding to the Italian Opera,
says that Madame Lagrange is receiving 81, 900
month, or $48,n00 a year; Mrati, $500 a
month; and Morelli and Marini, from 81, 600 to
$4,000. To these salaries, add rent at the rate
OF $1,000 month, gas and advertising at
$4,000 month, and the aggregate expenses
swell to not less than $25, 900 month During
this period, there are usually twelve perform.
ances, so that, unless the treasurer's books show
a nightly credit of something over 1000, the
Opera speculation can hardly prove paving
one.
| Louis NAPOLEoN.-The Washington Union
closes long editorial with this languages:
"We are aware, and we regret that the EN-
peror OF France Is not a friend to the United
States but, at the same time, we sincerely hope
he will never fall by the hand of a cowardly as
sassin. We neither believe him a saint. nor
desire to see him become martyr"
There never was nation toward whom the
kindly feelings of the human family were more
inclined than toward the United States of
North America and it calls for the practice of
all the tyranny, oppression, and dishonesty we
are capable of manifesting, to avert from us the
constant exhibition of the kindness and gene.

A DOUBLE FUNERAL.-We copy the follow
ing from the New Orleans Delta of the 9th
ultimo:
awe yesterday witnessed very solemn and
impressive scene in the second district, no less
a spectacle than double funeral which took
place under the following peculiar circum-
stances: Salvador Vidsea a well-known citizen
belonging to the Portuguese Society, was taken
sick day before yesterday, and, it is said, had
previously willed large portion of his proper
ty to b. Paradeda, dear friend of his. Be
ing about to die he sent for the latter, who on
entered his sick room, was suddenly attacked
with cholera, and had to be conveyed home
i Both died about the same time and were buried
together yesterday by the Portuguese Society,
who attended the funeral in a body. Such is
life! The friends are not parted in DEATH"
The New Orleans Delta rejoices that the first
district court has at last found jury who are
not afraid to assume the responsibility, and
that they have just consigned no less than three
murderers to the gallows, and one to the peni-
Tertiary for life-Dan. Callaghan, John Shields,
and Patrick Kennedy.
From THE ALTAR TO THE ToNB.-Tbe Wash.
ington city papers of the I'd instant contained
the following:
Married, on the 29th ultimo, by the Rev.

MARTHA +. SEwELL, all of this city:

DR.. McFarlane has published a letter in the
New Orleans True Della, in which he declares
that cholera, smallpox, and yellow fever, now
prevail in that city, and that the two former are
almost epidemic.
CALIFORNIA LAND TITLES have been in such,
an unsettled condition since the discovery of
the gold mines, that latterly the difficulty re-
specting them has seriously retarded the pros
perity of many parts of the State. The miscel-
| laneous mobs who hocked into the country from
all parts of the world seemed to have rather
loose ideas respecting property and land titles,
and having acted thereon, and been now in
actual possession until towns have in some
| cases grown up on these disputed estates, many
| persons may perhaps think it rather hard that
the decisions of the California Land Commits
sion are gradually upsetting the squatter titles,
and restoring the lands to their rightful owners
This is truly gratifying to all who love right
rather than wrong, and who desire Justice to
| triumph over the fat of rabble. To be sure,
these claims cover immense estates, but the
reader must remember that they were purchased
before the discovery of the gold mines, and
| when land away off in such a remote corner of
the world was of little value. They were bought,
too, by pioneers in the settlement of California,
whose rights could not be affected by subse-
quent discoveres.--Phtl. North american.
Mormon EMIGRATION is flowing westward
steadily, and in notable numbers. Since the
navigation of the Ohio river opened this spring,
| 1900 of these emigrants passed through Pitts
burgh, on their way to the city Of the Salt Lake,
and others daily expected. They are under
stood to be from Great Britain, where Mormon
| proselytism makes steady progress. At Liver
| pool there is Mormon agency supported es-
pecially for the purpose of aiding emigration.
It has this year sent upwards of $500 emigrants,
of whom it paid the expenses of 100. We see
it stated in one Of our exchanges that many of
these emigrants were converted in Liverpool,
where, it is supposed, the Mormon preacher
circulates among the poorer classes of emf
grants seeking passage to America. However
this be- appearances indicate that the accessions
to the Mormons this year will be greater than
for any previous one.
The ELLSWORTH Herald makes the following
astute observation;
at does not seem to us that the doings of
