Our hard times have reached China. In
that country the demand for silkworm eggs is
80 much smaller than usual that there is great
distress throughout the country. So if ones
resources are shortened on this side of the
world his numerous daughters buy fewer silks
and the manufacturer makes fewer calls for
his raw material, and so it goes from point to
point and the last ripple Of our panic is felt,
perhaps, in the middle of the Chinese Empire

A New York iterateur who wrote o book
about the devil, and who expounded some
what at length upon the nature and habits Of
his Satanic majesty, is dead. The probabili-
ties are that he can now judge Of the merits
Of his own work. Ben Butler mourns that
Kernot was gone for in writing this book
about the devil, he only wished to nerve his
brain-power sufficiently to begin the history
of the great war-horse of Essex.

The approval Of this requisition would cause
the issue OF wharf bonds in payment, at nine-
ty cents on the dollar, and the prices allowed
IN the contracts were about double the mar
ket cash prices. Owing to the depreciation of
the bonds, the contra ctor would not receive an
exorbitant cash price for his lumber, but the
city would be obligated for double the value
OF the material and assume the payment of
double interest thereon.
The Council had declared this system to be
vicious, and expressed their determination to
limit expenses to actual cash receipts. Mr.
Burke announced that he would not pursue
the policy Of his predecessor, but would soon
er stop the wheels Of government in his depart
ment until solution Of the financial problem
Is reached. With this view he had appointed
only such employees as were absolutely essen
tai to police the streets and continue the
drainage, sthey, OF course, through necessity,
take their chances for cash payments.
It was referred to the City Attorney.
THE ELECTIONS.
The election for City Surveyor, Secretary Of
the Council and City Notary thereafter oc-
Cured. The nominations were I. S. Hardee

Gil were made, Mr.. Dan Scully and MIR. Hardy

People who fear that they may possibly be
buried alive will be glad to know that DR..
Douchet, one Of the leading physicians Of
Paris has obtained prize from the French
Academy Q. Medicine for his discovery Of a
method by which to distinguish real. from ap.
parent death. The discovery IS thus explained
In one OF the medical Bulletins: When the
temperature falls to 20 degrees above zero,
centegfade or 65 degrees Fab, death is Ger
tain. Now d.. Douchet has devised taer-
lnome:e', when he calls necrometcr, so
graduated that. if, when placed under tie
armPit OF q person supposed to b. dead. il
marks ae.c, then life : indeed departed be-
yond any possibility Ct mistaks. OF the
merits OF this ingenious device, so lar as any
experiments Q. performances are concerned
10 account is given.
