CUsTAR's SYSTEM OF CULTIvATING ''LOYAL-
TY."-Gen. Gustav, commanding in Texas, in
his testimony before Thad. Stevens Obstruc-
ton Committee, at Washington, says, "when
our people first entered Texas the people
seemed as loyal as the most patriotic man
could WISH" He thinks they are now so hos
tile to the Union that If the troops were with
drawn it would be unsafe for "loya" men to re-
main there. The Chicago Times explains why
1t says: The State has swarmed with our
troops since the war closed, and the people
have been made to feel the rigOr Of military
rule. 1t is under this rule that they have
grown sullen, discontinued and dislOyal. Gus
tar, in command of district, will generate more
treason in one day than kind and magnani-
nous policy would in century"
Anybody, who knows anything of human ma
ture, will perceive the truth of this remark
1t is to be hoped the President, with the prac-
teal wisdom that distinguishes him, may see
the prOpriety of applying both the conclusion
and the remedy naturally suggested to the
whole South.

Before the shades of evening had fairly fallen the
steps of the First Presbyterian Church swarmed

rush of humanity, in broadcoth and Silks bespan-
rled with Jewels and wreathed in smiles, poured in
through the openings and up the long asles; and at
half.past I, the hour appointed for the ceremony,
the ediice fairly packed by an assembage bril-

Trichinosis in New YOrk-lts Reported Appear

ance in Several Pork-Packing Establish
ments.
The World states that the report of "trichi-
nosis" having made its appearance in the pork
establishments of this city is but too well founded
in part proof of which it adds;
Gas a proof of the authenticity of the report, no
fewer than eight pork butchers in Washington and
Fulton markets have discontinued further purchases,
and have entered instead into the beef and mutton
business Such was the credibility attached to the
report that pork has decreased in price during the
last week about four cents on the pound"
The best method of detecting the presence of the
trichine in pork is by closely examining thin slices,
cut ongitudinally, not tranSversely, with good
microscope 1t is more difficult to perceive the worms
in sausages, owing to the resemblance they bear to
many of the grstly substances used in the manufac
ture of this species OF food. The trchina, which
found and submitted to the action of hydrochorc
acid, NAV be then fully examined. They are then
perceived to be entirely different from and much
smaller than meat maggots, which are nothing more
than the production of the Larvae OF flies.
The trchinG may be destroyed by keeping sausages
which have been we'll smoked for long time I'M
used and exposing them in the interim to severe

THE FALL IN PRICES.-The New York Post of
Tuesday evening, noticing the panicky feeling in
business circles says:
THE decline was great Yesterday though some
kinds of merchandise were held by owners with
considerable irmness. So much effort to make sales
has rarely been put forth; and the disposition was
everywhere manifest TO close transactions and to
realize The concession in dress goods is large
il extends TO prints and all line fabrics; ON standards
and woOens it is lightest
The fall in one month, on the basis Of some of the
prices of goods sold at auction yesterday is reported
to be fully one hundred per cent, hut this is of
course no criterion whatever of the market. The
average decline may not exceed twenty or twenty
five per cent. in that line.
There is very general feeling of insecurity in bu
siness circles, amounting almost TO panic in some
quarters; and this adds to the depression, Nobody
questions the policy of selling butthe public, and
particularly the men in business do not readily buy.
LUNATICS NUMBERING THEIR kEEPERs.-A terri
BILE scene occurred recently in the Lunatic Asylum
of St. Pierre at Marseiles, France. Three patients
determined to murder their attendants. To effect
their purpose they wrenched away some iron bars
placed around stove, and with them fell on the
first warlman they saw, and beat him about the
head TIL he died. Another keeper, hearing his
companions cries, came TO see what was the mat
ter, and was Immediately attacked and likewise
killed. The three madmen then took the keys from
the pockets of their victims and entered the adOn-
ing wards to murder the other attendants, but TAX
ing no notice Of the patients. The wardsmen,
however escaped, and stopped the progress of the
madmen by fastening the door on the outside -
Meanwhile the whole establishment was alarmed,
and the officials, attef desperate resistance,
ceeded in overpowering the three murderers with
out receiving any serious injury.

JUDGE CLEMENT c. CLAY.-This gentleman,
now confined at Fortress Monroe, was on Tues

granted the privilege of the entire fortress du-
ring the day time. This privilege came to him
unexpectedly, and from source which ehti-
ties it to the highest respect of the officers OF
the garrison. 1t will render his Imprisonment
less disagreeable and tedious, and it has ex-
cited a great many enquiries as to its probable
import. The VirginidR says there are rumors
at Old Point that the release of Mr.. Clay
might be soon looked for, but of course time
only can prove the truth.
President Davis still remains under the same
rigid course of Imprisonment adopted shortly
after his incarceration.
