thousand Germans are about leaving
Prussia for the United States, on ac-
count of the CONSUMPTION. During the
month of April, 3,481 German immi-
grants arrived at New York. of whom
2,658 came from Prussia. Since jan
uary 1, s,616 immigrants have landed
in New York. While these arrivals
show a decrease from the immigration
of last year, they are steadily increas-
ing, and, doubtless, with a reasonable
prospect of a European war, the fig
ures will be larger hereafter.
THE new twenty. cent silver pieces,
designed, principally, for circulation
on the Pacific coast, will soon be cast at
the Philadelphiamint. There is moth
ing especially novel about the design.
The obverseof the coin will have the fig
ure of liberty taking it easy in a sitting
posture, and surrounded by thirteen
twinkling stars. The word ''liberty" vii
appear on the maiden's shield, and the
numbers, 1875, under her feet On the
reverse, the eagle with his talons kick
ing at " twenty cents" will scream
United States of America" The edge
of the coin will be smooth, instead of
futed, to distinguish it from the twen-
ty-five cent coins.
AMONG the first results of the revival
of business will be an immense emigra-
ton to this country from Europe. The
enormous increase of the continental
armies will stimulate thousands to es-
cape the conscription, and if the Ger
man system of universal military ser
vice IS adopted in England, as it is quite
possible that it may be, we shsll have a
large immigration of Euglishmen and
Irishmen. So soon as the the laboring
classes in Europe are sure that they can
obtain employment here they will emil
CRATE by thousands, and we need no b.
ing except a revival of business to in
sure plenty of work to every man who
lands on our shores.
AN upheaval of mud has occurred in
Pass a TOutre, one of the mouths OF
the Mississippi, forming an island
with an area of about eight acres, two
feet above the surface of the water. Ii
is thought these upheavals will seriously
interfere with Capt. Ead's ietties and,
indeed, it looks as if it would be nee,
essary to keep a Gatlin-gun in readiness
to break the mud lump, for it seems
! they are simply inflated with gas gen,
Grated by the vegetable matter deposited
under the mud, and can be pierced and
dissipated by a we'll directed shot. The
abolition of mud Jumps may become 6
source of serious expense in the much
needed Improvement of the mouths Of
the Mississippi.
A STEAMSHIP arrived IN New York the
other day with cargo of !, $50 sacks Ot
salt and 100 barrels of arsenic. The
bulk of the salt was stored in the lowel
hold, and the remainder was placed be
tween decks with the arsenic. During
the voyage the contents of several bar
rels of the poison was scattered Ovel
the salt. The cargo was discharged

them forwarded without delay to Coun
try customers who had bought to arrive
The cargo had not entirely disappeared
however, before a chemist was called il
to ascertain if the scattered poison haC
penetrated the bags holding the salt
and it was found that it had to such al
extent as to endanger the lives of tn
consumers of the salt. Instantly tn
, telegraph was used, happily with entir
! success, to secure the return of tn
dangerous commodities to the city
