TIE South Boston fats, now uncovered
and covered by the ebb aud flow of the tide,

long sea wall is to be constructed.
THE Canadians are troubled by the con
tinued exodus of their French; but the
French are not the only people who leave
them to seek work and thrift in the United
States Emigrauts slip through Canada
as through sieve into our borders. OF
1901 emigrants who arrived at Toronto
during the month of June but III remained
in Canada.
The order directed against the priesthood
10 sympathy with the Carlists by Minister
Gorilla was an extremely bold one, and it
remains to be seen whether it will be effec-
tual 1t is now clear that the chief strength
of Don Carlos lay with the clerical inhu-
ence of Spain. We can therefore credit the
report that his movement started with sew
eral millions aud a calculation of 10000
men. 1t seems to have ended, as usual, in
fight and executions.
THE Cortes will assemble in October--it
may be to elect king. CASTELAR, dces not
believe that king can be chosen, but,
writing to a Buenos Ayres newspaper,
makes note Of the singular assurance of the
diplomatist 0lozaga that a candidate for
the throne, acceptable to everybody, had
been found. Since both Prim and 0lozaga
are reported in favor of Prince Napoleon,
it is just possible that he means Plon-plon.
A YOUNG lady in New Haven, sixteen
years of age, recently met with the total loss
Of one eye and the serious injury Of the 9th
er. She had placed bottle of ammonia in
warm water, with the object of loosening the
cork. Being heated the natural expansion
suddenly forced the cork and liquid from the
bottle, the latter full in her face The pow
erful medicine penetrated the eyes, causing
intense pain and fearful discoloratiou. Skill
ful surgery has saved one eye, but the other
is entirely gone.
JOHN CHINAMAN, who is rapidly becom-
ing bone of contention between the polit
ical parties, is being taken hold of vigorous
ly also by the different religious denomina
tons in california, aad we are pleased to
learn, with the most gratifyingsuccess. The
Celestials take very kindly to the religious
dogmas of the various churehmen Being
freed from the severe restraints and penal
ties which are imposed upon Christian con
verts in China, the California Chinese APP
pear to have their minds opened to the re
ception of new ideas and new truths, and
the belief is expressed by many, that 10
few years after their arrival here, all or
nearly all of them will be led to abandon
their heathenish mode Of worship and adopt
Christian principles. We hope so.
THE Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany start two trains a day from New Y ork,
the one via the New Jersey Central to Har-
risburg, and the other via the Camben and
Amboy to Philadelphia, which carry pas
sengers, without change of cars, to Omaha,
Nebraska, distance Of about sixteen hund-
red miles This stupendous enterprise is to
be followed shortly by improved family cars,
equipped with beds, furniture, Kitchens,
g., for the accommodation Of passengers,
and will start at Philadelphia and New York

The protector Of these moving houses is de
voting all his efforts to render them safe and
commodious They will be built Of various
sizes and capacities. A party or family Of
fifteen can hire one for the round trip, and
can control it as completely during the time
they use it as they would rented tenement
THE EGG TRADE There are very few
persons who had an idea of the extent of
the value of eggs as an article Of commerce.
It is said that France alone produces seven
to eight billions annually 11qnfity which,
if blows aud strung would twice encircle
the globe. France exports about six mil
lions, chiefly to England. The estimated
production of eggs in Great Britain is two
billions annually, and yet England pays
about 1000, 900 in gold for importations
from France, Belgium and Holland The
egg trade iu Paris is a very important one,
and subject to municipal restraints They
are sold in baskets of l,040 each. They
must not only be whole and fresh, but of a
certain size, and officials are appointed by
the city government to inspect, not the
number and quality, but the size, of the
eggs. These inspectors are supplied with
ring, all eggs passing through which are
condemned.
COMPETITION tells upon the cost OF ocean
telegraphy. The new French line begins
with a tariff Of $40 for ten words, aud the
old line at once comes down to $3.50 for a
message of the same length. We have
reason to anticipate an uniform rate of SIS, 90
for both lines before the end Of the present
season. The pressreports by the new line
show an improvement in quality over those
which, by its elder rival, have been very
regularly one-balf trash. With the aban-
donment of the old prohibitory rates of
charge, the business of ocean telegraphing
viii exhibit wonderful increase in populari-
ty and profit 1t is predicted that seyera-
additional cables will be laid across the At
lantic within the ensuing FIVE years.
AN IRON Cylinder Stove, without any
CRATE, and which consumes its own smoke,
has recently been patented in Bavaria In
