I'uE dry goods importation ut New
York during 1873 IS stated by the Journal
Of Commerce, which devotes close atten-
ton to this matter, at $114,16O,465. This
IS nearly twenty.three millions less than
the importation OF 1872, and eighteen mil.
lions less than 1871, but it exceeds the i'm
portation OF any previous year excepting
1855, when one hundred and twenty-six
millions worth OF dry goods were landed
at that port. These values represent only
the foreign gold cost Of the goods, the
freight and duty not being included. The
dry goods importation represents about
one.third Of the total imports at New
York, which may, therefore, be set down
for 1870 at the large aggregate Of about
three hundred and fofty-two millions.
The Journa!of Commerce, in commenting
upon the statement, says that from pres
ent appearances the receipts for 1874 will
not be as heavy as those for 1878, and
that the market will not absorb the same
quantity oil goods, unless "s further inHa-
ton Of the currency shall make this q
lavorite stumping ground for foreign
lubricants"

WAsHlNeToN, Monday, Jan. 5.-The
Hon. j. Proctor Knott, formerly a Rep.
resentative IN Congress from Kentucky,
has written letters TO Congressman and
to the Surgeon General urging govern.
ment investigation Of the origin and
and spread Of the cholera last summer.
The Surgeon, General indorses Mr.. Knott's
suggestion, and today the House passed
resolution, on motion Of Mr.. Dawes, .di.
recting the investigation to be made by
one'ot more army surgeons detailed for
the purpose. Medical officers, with spe-
cial qualification for the work, viii be az.
signed to this duty, and 1t Is believed that
the result Of their inquiries will throw
much new light upon the subject, and be
OF great interest to the medical and scier1.
titic world. All the localities where the
disease ragged will be visited, and the ex-
perience and opinions Of local physicians
and boards Of health will be considered.
1t does not seem to be generally known
that, from January /, the fee Tor register
ing letter mailed at any postoflce in the
United States, and addressed to any other
postofi1ce in the United States, is eight
cents In addition TO the regular letter
postage. Until further notice the Post
Office Department will not provide

The vulgar habit Of putting the feet

The Banking and Currency Committee
will hold an evening session tomorrow,
to compare views upon the currency
question. The effect OF the visit the mem.
bers OF the House have just made to their
constituents appears to have been ,onlyto
confirm the views they previously enter
tanned upon financial subjects. The in
aationists are confirmed in the idea that
more money is wanted, and the contrac-
donists are more positive than ever that
an additional isaueof fpaper money would
be an unmiigated evil. ,TS1 ITT.

A CORRESPONDENT Of tho Charleston
Nv. Va) Courier writing from Augusta
county, Virginia, gives an interesting
statement as to what the female semina.
naries Of the town Of staunton
have done for 1t In mere dollar and
cents way. We take the following ex.
tract from his letter: 'llttGF 7.
staunton at the close Of the war
claimed perhaps $500 population, and
she now boasts Of $500 or 1000, though I
think the tormer more correct. What
has caused the great growth OF this inland
town with few or no natural advantages
otslte? What has caused this city with
not one level street in 1t TO thrive and to
dot the hills with residences whose taste
and beauty are only equalled by ourlarger
cities? These questions naturally enough
suggest themselves to even the most
careless visitor. Perhaps the main
channel through which money has
poured into this small city are the
large female schools. There are no less
than five schools, and some Of them have
almost national reputation and have
Well sustained 1t ior some years past. at
three OF these schools there are about six
hundred young ladies from a distance !:
and estimating (the estimate is far less
tean those sch0 haze to pay would put IN
each to spend five hundred dollars in the
community, We may well see how The
whole city Is flooded with money! But
the fact is merely, II not all Of, a hall
million dollars are thus distributed among
all classes yearly
Every business man in the community
receives some benefit from this annual
distribution. ''77
