MILK AS REMEDIAL AGENT. Consider.
bic lately has been said in medical journals
concerning the value of milk as remedial
agent In certain diseases. 1t is stated on the
authority of DR.. Benjamin Clark, that in
the Fest Indies warm milk is used to great
extent as specific for diarrhea. A pint
every four hours will check the most violent
diarrhea, stomach ache, incipient cholera,
and dysintery. The milk should never be
boiled, but only heated sufficiently to be
agreeably warm, not too hot to drink
Milk which has been boiled is unfit for use.

Richmond. The decrease In the number OF hogs
heads inspected at Lynchhurg was 1,aas. the total
weight Of hogsheads, boxes and loose tobacco tti-
spected In the year 1s7I-'f2 ls,ao3Tes pounds,
decrease compared with the previous year OF 3,l1l
| 73I pounds.
twill I've noticed that the Inspections for the year
just ended vary little from those of the preceding
year, which was lonG-crop year, and that the
stocks on hand are about the same, except In Rich
,noud where the increase Is about thirteen hundred
hogshead5. When the largely-increased demand is
taken into acconnt--a demand occasioncd In great
part by recent congressional legislation, resulting
In reduced and uniform taxation on manufac-
tured tobaccothe increase Of stocks is fully II not
more than counterbalanced.
THE NEW CROP
l. Accounts from the principal tobacco growing re-
gons of the State indicate that while on the north
side OF the James river the crop is considerably
reduced IN quantity and deprecated in quality,
owing to drought and other unfavorable circunl-
stances, on the south side the prospects are of u
crop fully up TO the maximum Of last years pre-.
dnction and Of excellent quality.
We call the attention Of those interested TO the
fact that the crop of the State is made to appear
larger than 1t actually is by the custom prevailing
mt our warehouses of treating tobacco already IN
spected nj other points not as re-nspected but as
for original Inspection. This custom has prevailed
10 such an extent that tobacco removed from one
warehouse to another at the same point of inspec-
ton, which is very frequently done, Is counted
twice or oftener according to the number of re-
movals.

BuRSlSG OF THE EsctRtAL.-A cable tele-
gram from Madrid announces the burning OF
the monastery and palace of the Escurial,
and probably the mausoleum Of kings, which
is included in the vast establishment. The
E>curial Is situated in the town Of Escurial
dc Abajo, about twenty miles from Madrid,
aud was built by Philip II. in tulGIment OF
VOW that hc would build the most magniti-
cent monastery in the world If st, Lawrence
would give him the victory over the Frenc b
in the battle Of st. Quentin, 1a57, ST. Law.
renee suffered martyrdom by being hroiled
Oh gridiron, and by Il quaint conceit the
king caused the ground plan of the Escurial
70 be made III the form Of n 9ridiron.
The foundation was laid in 1863. Twenty
one years aud $15,00O,00 were spent in its
construction. The whole cdiice, which is
mainly OF the DOric order, was built of white
stone, spotted with gray, resembling granite.
The most striking feature is the church, built
in imitation OF ST. Peters at Rome, in the
form oil Greek cross with Cupola and two
towers. Directly under the high altar is the
mausoleum, built ofimsper and black marble,
from design of the Roman pantheon, and
containing the remains Of all the sovcreigns
of Spain since Charles V. There were several
splendid paintings in the church and palace,
many other works OF art, tine libraries, &c.
The Escllrial has been Il summer residence
of the kings of Spain from the time OF It's
completion, andiS regarded one OF the greatest
treasures OF Spanish architecture aud history.

Thc steamer China. which arrived ut s

Early on Saturday morning, August oath.
the America arrived at Yokohama, and during
the day landed all the passengers and cargo
for that port, and transferred 10 the Shang-
hal branch steamer what there was for North
CHINA. There remained on board the officers
and crew, two trSt-class passengers, the mails,
and lI3 Chinese, destined for Hong Kong
AT II O'Clock at night the America was
discovered TO be on fire. She burned until
the AFTERNOON Of Sunday, when she was
towcd out Of the way of the shipping and
sunk. Three Americans and fifty-nine
Chinese were lost. besides iumber of Jap.

treasure and lightweight remained on board
the vessel when burned.
The ship had been coaling all iav. At 20
O'clock ut wight ali was reported safe, when
the c1lIcerS retired. y little before II O'Clock
the SteWardc>s smelt something burning, and
smoke was discovered rising from thetreght-
deck below the ladies' saloon. An alarm
was immediately sounded. Captain Doaue
Was the first man in the saloon with the hose.
but was driven back by the smoke.
With n sudden and furious roar the flames
burst forth, deciding the fate of the chip.
The smoke prevented the flooding Of the
magazine, and attention was turned to saving
the passengers. The Cinnamon crowded the
ladder, which gave way, precipitatinS them
into the water. Several unsuccessful at.
tempts were made to sink the burning ship
by shot from the war vessels in the harbor.
A court of inquiry found that the fire appa-
iatuS was III good working order, but that
the long time which elapsed before stream

caution Or great ttrdincSs in the engineers

pounds had been on the donkey boiler at the
time the alarm was given, and the fires in

aud working the fire might have been en-
tinguiShed and the ship saved. The court Is
convinced that the fire WAS the result OF in
tention. not Of accident. The induccmcnt
may have been antilalhy toward the Steam
ship Company or officers, or the fact that the
Chinese passengers were supplied with large
