go bravely on. Ever since his Honor the Mayor
made the happy discovery, that the original tu-
mults in that quarter were altogether defensive,
and that the prosecuted white there, had only
taken the law and their revolvers in their own
hands, in an innocent and retributive way ssthe
position of the city government" and its DISPOSE
ton likewise, seem to be perfectly understood.
As consequence of that understanding, the ex-
empary gentlemen who at first were content with
prohibiting the ship-buiders from caulking their
own ships, have advanced a few steps farther, and
now prescribe the terms upon which the owners
OF vessels shall discharge their own cargoes. The
next movement, no doubt, will be to take charge
of the vessels and cargoes altogether, and con-
servatye neighbor of the american, will straight
way give us the benefit of the affidavits taken by
his Honor to show that somebody, FIVE years ago,
did something to render such movement alto
gether proper and reasonable now. We can only
express hope, that the newly constituted au-
thorities may be content to remain on their own
side of the sn,-though, to be perfectly candid,
we do not exactly see that we should be a great
deal worSted by the change.

pressure UPON FTsH.--Mr. Pell, in his address to
the american Institute on the subject of fish, saws
that at ninetythrce feet below the surface of the
water Il shad would be compelled to bear about the
weight of sixty pounds to every square inch of sur
face on its body; at three hundred and siXty-one
feet one hundred and eighty-one pounds; at six
hundred and six feet, two hundred and eighty-six
pounds; at four thousand two hundred and six feet
eighteen hundred, and thirty-one pounds to the
square inch; at six thousand feet, tun.
Whales sometimes descend into the depths of the
ocean four thousand nine hundred feet, when they
sustain considerably over the enormous weight Of
two hundred thousand tuns nearly, if not quite,
one hundred and thirty-eight tuns to each square
foot of surface exposed. The fish do not of course
feel this pressure, it is exerted all portions of
their bodies alike.--Scientifc american.

SLEEPING CAR.-Zenas Cobb, of Chicago, ILL.,, has
invented an improved sleeping in which four
persons comfortably sleep in the same space
that they occupy when sitting in the car by
day. This is effected by having the seats and backs
to slide on ways until they meet, thus forming a

lst the day on which the contract term expires:
The grounds for the building were given BY the
government, and the city of Toronto has voted
$4,000 toward its cost. Other municipalities are
required to complete it. The Mavor and other
officials, and Mr.. Vankoughnet, Minister of Agri-
culture, were present at the ceremony and made
speeches. The latter said that, with the single ex-
ceptons of glass and tin, all the materials used in
the building would be produced by Canadian work
men. Agriculture alone, he said would never ms Ike
the country rich and prosperous. 1t had been too
much the fashion to suppose that the growth of grain
and roots would suffice for wants. but the peo-

THE COMMENCEMENT AT HARVARD

The Boston Daily Advertiser of Wednesday pub
fishes the Neurology of the graduates of Harvard
College for the past year. These notices occupy
nearly nine columns of the paper. The ascertained
deaths during the part year, have been only thirty
an unusually small number The number of deaths
during the academic year ending July, 1851, was
tortytwo; in 1882 fortytwo in 1858, sxty in 1854.
httyone; in 1855, ffty-one in 1856, forty in
1897, forty eight; averaging forty-eight per year
during the seven previous years. The number
therefore, during the year Just ended is eighteen
less than last year, and eighteen less than the aver
age for seven preceding years. Ofthose who have
deceased during past year, sixteen were lawyers
live were cergymen, four were physicians, two
were merchants, one teacher, one was plan
ter, and one had no profession.
The forty-second Visitation of the Divinity
School of the University took place on Tuesday
The attendance of ladies and gentlemen, and of cer-
gymen of various denominations was quite large
Essays were read by the young gentlemen of the
graduating class. The Rev. Cyrus A. Bartol of
Boston, delivered the annual address before the al
umn and at the conclusion of the address the alum
nj of the school, with such guests as had received
invitations from the President, dine together in
Harvard Hail. In the afternoon the alumni held
their annual meeting in the Chapel, for the discus
sion OF such subjects suggested by the exc
cutiye committee.

Wednesday morning before crowded audience
Inc Boston Courier states that one hundred and
twenty-five young men applied for admission to the

was decided on Wednesday evening. 104 were ad-
mitted, and of these four will be examined for ad

COMMERCE OF FRANCE.

we take the following very valuable statistics of
the commerce Of France from the London Econo-
mist
The total value of all importations made into
France for domestic consumption and for exporta-
ton to foreign countries, was, in 1855, 2,l59, 7O0
O0Of; in 1856, 2,740, 900 000f; and in 1851 26S9-
0OO,OOOf. The total of last year, was it will be
SEEM nearly 5000 0OOf below that of the preceding
year The total value of all exports made from
france-that is French and foreign productions
combined-was, in 1885, PISS, ZOO, 000f.; in 1856,
2,1409O0 ,0O0f; and in 1857, 1888, 300, 000f The
value of exports last year consequently less bv
about 100 900 OO0 than that of the year before. If
we take the total value of importati0ns for French
consumption alone, we find these figures:
1855 1884, 100, OOOf
1856 $50 500 OOOf
1857 lS72 900 OOOf
The value of the imports last year was conse-
quenty "a 67G 600 less than in the preceding year.
If we take the total value of exports of French
productions alone find these figures for the said
three years
1855 1857 900, OOOf
1856 1898 100 O00f
1857 l,S65 900 OOOr
The value of the exports last year consequent
y over 600 900 francs below that of the preceding
year. On the whole these returns are less unfavor-
able, especially regards the exclusive commerce
OF France, than from the commercial crisis of last
year might have been expected; but it is to be
membered that the crisis broke out at the latter
part OF the year, and that the French, by of
extensive renewals of bills STAYED off great part
OF the consequences of it to the present year.
The totals of French imports and exports above
given, do not comprise the precious metals The
