THB REcENr EARTHQUAKES IN THE MEDlrER-
RANEAN.-A letter, dated Malta, October IS,
says:
Intelligence continues to pour il from sur
rounding and more distant countries which felt
the earthquake on the night Of the nth aud
morning Of the 18th inst. III seems to have
been more sepsibly felt in the interior than in
the seaport towns of the ~neighboring Island of
Sicily. In Naples the shocks were severe and
of long duration, and so likewise in Calabria /;
hut it appears TO have been generated in Asia
Minor or in Syria, as, indeed, has been gen
crafty the case when phenomena OF this nature
having any degree Of intensity have been felt
in Malta with which countries, rather than
with the nearer land Of Sicily, Malta in this
respect corresponds. At Rhodes the shock was
ielt at 240 A. NJ, on the 18Th, and was so
violent that fifty hoases aud The celebrated
tower are reported To have been rNzea to the
ground in the town, and many others seriously
Injured. Nyhile the village of EriaGda is in ruins.
with a deplorabIe loss of life.
Alexandria also felt it, and in Cairo there
have been casualties from falling houses and
mosque minarets. The duration of the shock
throughout Egypt is reported to have aver
aged - seconds the LING agrees with Malta.
The Austrian lloyds steamer Adria, though
distant fully Fifty miles from Rhodes, felt it so
severely that all on beard thought she had
struck on some new submarine formation. The
st. Andrew English steamer, bound to Alex
andria from Liverpool and Malta, at a distance
of three hundred miles from this last mentioned
port, got SO strained by the shock that she

EXPERIENCE OF A SuRGEoN.-In 1888 the
son Of al Eaglish clergyman attended the
medical classes of Edinburg University, and
lived in the third flat in Bristol street, in q
room which cost him six shillines and six
pence a week. In after years, when swaying
The surgical sceptrc Of England as Sir Ashley
Cooper, his professional income in one single
year amounted to $ll5,000 and yet, during
the first twelve months after he settled down
in London, and was working as a lecturer on
anatomy and surgery, his receipts from private
practice only amounted to five guineas.

H A TRUE SHor.-Ihe Paris correspondent Of
the NewYork Commercial Advertiser, refer
ring to the article in the Noasteur against the
English press, for certain structures on the cor
rupt speeulations of Government officials in
france, says:
The causes of offence were found in the
columns Of the Times, Daily News aud the
Morning Advertiser, but particularly in an
article IN the first, which charged much Of the
blame Of the present financial crisis in France
to the corrupt speeulations Of members OF the
Government, who have a controlling influence
over the finances Of the country. So true did
this shot Of the Times fall that the day after
the appearance Of the article y certain member
of the Napoleon Cabinet, who had built up a
colossal fortune in u few years Of official life,
went to the Emperor and rendered his resigna-
ton. His Majesty not only did not accept
the resignation, but he consented to the de-
mand of the Minister that a note should be
inserted in the N0ajtesr against these attacks
OF the English press. Tins is this note, which
has made SO much noise, explained.

y NN IN 4 Divine Bell. Hon. Erastus
.rooks, one Of the editors Of the New York
Express, gives an account of how it felt to go
down in a diving bell--the Nautilus, the other
day, in the East River. He says he had a
very good time, and saw sights.
2 Going up in q balloon, or down in q diving
bell, is q feat we should judge pleasanter to
read about as having been performed by an-
other, than to perform ones self.
When old Sheridan was travelling. with his
son Tom, in the mining sections OF England,
the latter minated his intention of going
down into a mine.
:" What are you going to make a fool Of
yourself in that way for, Tom ? . said Sher-
,idan.
swell, when a man goes back to London,
after travelling in Cornwall, he would like to
have it to say that he has been down in a mine,
you know /" replied Tom.
And why the devil can't you sag so, then
without, stultilying yourself by doing t.n was
the exemplary parents reioinder.

CnEAr PoRK.--It appears from the reports
in the Western papers that the price Of pork
will be considerably reduced the coming season
below the rates paid at the same period last
year, when there was o greater demand for the
article. The average figure then was a trife
over $6 a hundred pounds. Now we see il
quoted at SIS rs. The cause Of this decline is
ascribod to an expected diminution in the ex-
port to Europe, and not to any deficiency in
the crop. While there is . falling off in Ohio,
Indiana aud Kentucky, It is made up by the
abundant supply in Iowa., Illinois and Mis-
souri,. The excess IN the stock, as compared
with last year, is equal to 100000 hogs.

The FooD OF ENGLIsRMES n FRENCH
MnN.-Tle domestic economy of the two peo-
pie is widely different. John Bull goes it strong
on meat and beer, while johnny Crapean Is
satisfied with his loaf of bread and niodlcnm Of
ria ordinaire. The Englishman in London eats
three hundred pounds of -four a year, made.
into bread aud pnddings, which is a @fayorite
dish with him, while the Frenchman in Paris
consumes a pound a day or three hundred and
sixty pounds a year.. The quantity Of beer
drank by an Englishman is about equal to the
wine of the Frenchman. The Londoner makes
way with one hundred and nineiy two pounds
OF meat in the year, while the Partisan, con-
sumes only one hundred and f~orty-siX pounds J;
but the latter consumes two hundred and sew
enty-four pounds Of vegetables, while the for
mer eats but one hundred and twenty-eight
pounds.
The consumption of sugar in France is
increasing. From six and a half pounds a year
per head 1t has reached nearly eight aud a half
pounds, notwithstanding the dearrcss Of the
article. Unfortunately, the consumption OF
spirits has increased in d much greater proper
ton. Previous to 1880 each Partisan consul
med but nine quarts Of caH-de-tie in the year;
lie now CONSUMES fourteen. The supply Of fish
asdoabled in Paris since 1877, and the price,
except of very inferior kinds fish, is enormous.
Fish in that capital, and indeed throughout
all France, is still a luxury; n%'orcas j Lon
don and most parts of England u take rank
for price and plenty with The other necessaries
of life.
