-Apprehensions are expressed by some
Northern Journals that this Continent is
threatened with another visitation OF Aslatic
cholera. The fact that the pestilence has
made its appearance in Poland is considered
of Significance, when taken In connection with
the. first general irrnption OF the cholera IN
Europe, in 1929, which first developed itself in
Southern Russia. The tornadoes and floods
which have distinguished this and the last sea-
son are asserted to have always preceded
visitations Of cholera. ~
The extraordinary mesmeric phenomena
produced by Home, the American medium, in
London, are being made the subject OF care
full examination by Professor Crooke, the en-
inent chemist, DR.. .Huggins, the equally en-
inent astronomer, and Sergeant Cox, OF the
English bar. The results Of their yet incom-
plete examination are recorded in London
scientific Journal. The investigators are salts
fed ofth immense scientific Importance Of
the subject. Professor Crooke and Sergeant
Cox both seem to be convinced Of the exist
ence Of a .snerye atmosphere of various inten-
oenyeloping the. human structure" DR..
Huggins has not yet been able to satisfy his
mind, and wants to make further expert.

ss.@2A private letter nom an En-. lishman in
Paris, of date July 9th, written by close OBJ
server OF French society aud current history,
expresses the writer's opinion that events are
proceeding regularly in that city looking TO-
the return OF. the Bonapartes. The Comte de
Chambord's last manifesto, in which he offers
the "white fag" OF the Bourbons and OF Joan;
of Arc as the. banner of progress In the nine.
teenth century, has thrown the Legiumisti
cause. into utter contempt: . The Orleans
Princes, also, are suffering from some of the
obloquy brought about BY the Bourbon head 4
Of their family "I9 addition, says the writer,
1.-THE :. members, Of the Orleans family hold
themselves too cheaply here for men Of their
station, and will 4 should say, soon fudtS ex-
pedIent to return. to England. They are too
much NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. with nobodies, and
they lose caste in consequence" -
"A Paris Correspondent, writing on June
lith, says that Comte de Chambord came to
France at the invitation of his rLegitimist ad-
.heren:s, who felt certain that the recent cleo
items to the Assembly would result In his ia
Tor. 1t was arranged that he should be present
at the Chateau Of Chambord to receive the Or
leans Princes and the deputation of loyal
sFrenchmen, who, it was supposed, would come
to him, and solicit his assuming at once the.
throne Of France. But when the result Of tha
elections began to be, known, on the morning
: of the lth instant, the Comte became furious,
said that he had been deceived, and announc-
ed his purpose not to remain any longer In the
country. BE then issued his manifesto, which
has 30 damaged his party, and left Chambord
that:njght. Those who know him best say that
he never expects to come again to France.
The examination of druggists and drug
clerks in New York, under the new law, Is
now going on. The applicants for certificates
of license to dispense medical connections are
s.put throughn q rigid course of questioning in
pharmacy, materla medica, chemistry, practi;-
: cal science 1.-The nature and efficacy OF poisons,
&C., and the. examinations so far have been
generally favorable. DR.. Doremus, the presi-
dent of the board of examiners, in aletter to
the Journal of Commerce, gives the number OF
druggists in the city as about 500, exclusive of
the wholesale merchants, and the clerks will
number about $50. Their licenses will amount
70. about ST., ,500.- He shows the fitness OF the
board for the duty to be performed, and con-
z tasds that certificate Issued by it will prove
of advantage 70 the possessor within-zsix
months, after which tipe it will be illegal to
prosecute the business without a certificate.
The effect of the examination, he says, will be
to remand incompetent persons and novices
to a more thorough preparation, swell the
classes of the pharmaceutical schools, elevate
the profession and protect the community.
,.y.FMfher advices from the East confirm the
report Of the wonderful calamity which 5etell
s.the Island of Camaguin nearly three months
& ago. 1T appears to have been no ordinary
earthquake, but one of those terrible land
sinks which are even more to be dreaded. So
long ago as March, we learn, subterranean
Disturbances had agitated the island and open
ed the earth in extensive crevasses; but the
final catastrophe did not occur until the first
of May, when whole village sank bodily into
the fires below, carrying with it large numbers
of people, and leaving in Its place deep
crater OF a violent volcano, spouting stones
and fire and smoke, and setting the forests of
the island in flames. A more overwhelming
and terrible destruction never visited coun-
ythan this is represented tobe. The island
is one of the most productive of the Philippine
group, afording large amount of the ma
