Excitement on Cherry.

The moHotony Of Cherry street, between
Church and Union, was greatly relieved
for a while yesterday afternoon by little
unplessautness between a merchant and an
individual from the rural districts. The
bows Of the countrymsn's wagon by acci-
dent came in contact with the awning
Of the merchant and tore off the weight

careless, and hence the trouble. City
Marshal Beckwith put a stop 10 hostilities
by advising the merchant TO repair TO his
place Of business and directing the country

The ExEMPREss CARLoTTA Il find in one of the
Brussels journals interesting details regarding
the condition of the unfortunate widow of the late
Emperor Macmillan. She still resides at the chateau
OF TerVueren, and is closely watched in the long walks
that she is in the habit of taking in the park as she
has several times endeavored to deceive the vigilance
OF her keepers This supervision annoys her
greatly and she sometimes breaks out into violent fits
of passion. She passes considerable portion of her
time in the telegraph Office at Tervueren, and is con-
tinuaIly sending kilograms to the various European
soVereigns to complain of the restraint in which she is
kept These dispatches sent off in presence to the
Court at Brussels and she will not quit the office un
til she receives answer
One of the most curious features of the mental con-
don OF the unfortunate Princess is her popularity of
refusing to sit down at table to take her meals The
officer on duty, who generally dimes with her. is COM
PEELED to eat off the of the chmneypiece, and
she herself will only eat from dish when some one
has tasted it in her presence. Her fixed idea is that
people are always trying to poison her, She passes
agated nights, and it is only towards morning that
she obtains few hours peaceful Sleep But for the
energy of her organization, she would never be able
to resist the fatigue consequent upon the feversh ex
element under which she is always laborng.

The UNITED STATES PILE OF GoLD-The transfer o
the Sub-Treasury at New York from Cen ButteIfelc
to Senator Folge has necessitated the counting of thu
gold in the vaults. The reporters thus got a glimpse
OF the government stronghold and the piles of gol(
therein, and describe as follows:
The vaults of the Sub-Treasury are two in number
and situated on the main floor of the building The
sides and root of each eight feet of granite ma
sorry and two feet of iron plates Between the plates
are musket balls laid in loose The floor thirty feet
OF masonry and two feet of iron plates Between also
with layer of musket balls Each vault is closed by
four iron doors, weighing each and fastened
by two combination locks to each door. The three
inner doors fastened without key while the locks
on the outer ones are operated by of nstu-
ment about an inch long by bali an inch wide, which
may be carried in vest pocket. Each vault is about
twelve feet square. On the sides of each apartment
built hundred and twenty chests of iron each
of the capacity OF quarter of million in gold COIN
Each chest, when full is closed with iron door, and
fastened with lock which is sealed so that the door
cannot be tempered with without breaking the seal.
=" At present there are about 100000 in gold
coin and about $4,000 in silver, contained in about
$50 of the $40 chests. The loose cash is in boxes
placed by the respective tellers in the vaults each
night after the close Of each days business
Many people are under the impression that each
coin Is counted separately in these examinations but
little reflection will convince them that this is an err
ror. One man could scarcely count 500 600 on an
average, IN Gay, ana to examine at this rate would
consume too much time nor would it be necessary
Each denomination of gold coin is packed separately
and the bag labeled with tag. showing the character
of the coin and the amount In the process of count
ing one of the sealed chests will be opened the con-
tents carried on trucks into the gold ROOM and then
one bag will be counted, and the remainder of the
same denomination weighed against it in accurately ad-
justed scales. Should any pcrceptibe difference in
weight be noted the contents Of the deficient bag will
be counted and thus any vii! be guarded against
Should nothing occur to prevent the examination will
progress at the rate of $4,000 900 per day.
