According to the report of the secre-
tary Of the silk association Of America, the to-

received at this port for April was 81, 764, 991,
which represents the foreign cost in gold, ex-
elusive Of freight and duties. The total
amount of raw silk received here from April 8
to April 80, was 4O6 bales and cases, and the
total from July I, 1874, 7,427 cases and bales.
Eleven bales of pierced cocoon were received
during April, or a total Of 1, ,476 bales since

The Channel Tunnel.

The Channel tunnel, if it becomes an
| accomplished fact, will test very severe
IL the abilities of the ''ventilatiug"
architects and engineers. The Engi-
neer, after celebrating curious stats
tics on the subject, arrives at the con-
olusion that, having regard to the num-
Der Of trans sent through daily, it will
be necessary, if ordinary locomotives
are used, to renew the air In tho tunnel
entirely every hour and, as the tunnel
will be twenty miles long, and all the
air must be Withdrawn from one end or
the other, a current Of air must be pass
ed through at the rate Of twenty miles
an hour. These results are, Of course,
on the suppOsitiOu that the air would
be rendered IrTespirable by the coke
smoke evolved, and the obvious altera-
tive Is to apply motive power by means
other than those In use on ordinary
railways It Is yet to be decided by
the engineering world whether the erec-
ton Of q shaft or shafts IN the channel
is practicable: and there Is no work IN
existence at sll analogous to the pro-
posed structure. That through Mont
Crnis is comparatively short and admlra-
bly, situated for purpose Of ventilation,
while the Metropolitan Railway is rid
died with openings. shafts, and holes IN
every difec0o5sA ADd even London smoke
sud dirt fail tJ make it's atmosphere
more than dense, or IN some parts dlsa-
Rreeable.

1t is reported that Russia has, with
great earnestness, urged England to send
delegates to the international code conference
at st. Petersburg. II England persists in her
refusal, it is probable that the whole project
viii be be dropped, in accordance with the

The mutineers on board the schooner
Jefferson Borden, Capt. Patterson, from New
Orleans, March s. for London, took the Op-
portunIty to carry out their plot to seize the
vessel when on watch with the first mate and
a boy. The latter was gagged, and the men
then struck the fret mate from behind frac-
turing his skull. The second mate coming to
the rescue, was thrown overheard alive. The
hoy got free and alarmed Capt. Patterson,
who coming from the cabin with two revoIvers,
fired upon the mutineers with effect. One of
them received seven bullets, a second was
wounded in the stomach, and the third may
live until the vessel reaches London.
A ring has been formed in New York
to control the production and price of petro-
leum, and it is reported they have succeeded

The Man of Genius.

The difference between the man Ol
talent and the man of genius would be,
that the man of talent could be replaced
by a dozen men of ordinary power,
whereas a million Of such men would be
no nearer to replacing the genius. A
thousand dwarfs may be kept back for
ever by a barrier which is overstepPed
as soon as there comes a single giant ;
and if the young gentlemen who we're
plucked for their de rec in any given
examination were multiplied by thou
sand, they would be as hOpelessly un-
able as before to make one Of NewtOn's
immortal discoveries. In the same way,
q clever man may write something which
is superfcialy Just like a irst-rate
poem, but when we take 1t TO pieces we
find it to be nothing but a skillfui com
bination Of echoes, whereas in a single
gong or verse which shows genius there
is always something which could not
have been borrowed from anybody else
In short, originality is the mark of
genius in this sense, though the word is
constantly used to denote great powers,
which are, riRidly speaking, merely a
faculty for doing more quickly than
usual what has been done ny others
before. The man Of genius
introduces INTO the .sorld something
which was not there before. instead Of
simply using up old materials.

THE TWO ANGELS.
BY JOHN G WHITTIER.


God called the nearest angels who dwell with him
The tsndeTesst one was Pity, the dearest one was
Love.
Arise" he said, "my angels; wall of woe and
Steals through the gates of heaven, and saddens all
within.
"NIy harps take up the mournfuI strain that from
The smoke of torment clouds the light and blights
the asphodels.
Fly downward to that under world, and on its
souls Of pain
Let Love drop smiles of sunshine, and Pity tears
like rain"
Two faces bowed before the throne, yelled in their
Four White wings lessened swiftly down the dark
abyss of air.
The way was strange. the flight was long; at last
Where swung the lost and neither world, red.
wrapped in rayless flame.
There Pity, shuddering wept; but Love, with faith
too strong for fear,
Took heart from Gods a'mighti0ess and smiled q
smile of cheer.
And 10! that tear of Pity quenched the flame whereon
it fell,
And, with the sunshine of that smile, hope entered
into he'll!
Two unveiled faces full of joy looked upward to the
-Four white wings folded at the feet of Him who sat
thereon!
And deeper than the sound Of seas, more soft than
falling flake,
Amidst the hush Of wing aud song the Voice Eternal
spake:
Welcome, my angels yo have brought a holier
Hencefyr h it's sweetest song shall be the song of
sin forgiven !"

The Lick TrnSt.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
Mr.. Lick's trustees have at length taken
a decisive step with view to relieve
themselves from the peculiarly embar-
RAISING position in which they have
been placed by this deed of revocation.
The original deed conveyed to them, as
trustees, large amount of property IN
which they had no personal interest,
and established certain very delicate re-
latiOns between them and the beneficial
ries under the trust, which were Capa-
bic of being viewed in widely different
lights from different standpOints,
When called upon to recoL vey to Mr..
Lick the property decided to them for
certain specific public uses, they nat
uralIy felt some doubt as to the course
which they ought to pursue. To COM
ply with Mr.. Lick's demand might have
seemed like a tame surrender of the
rights of the public, if any rights had
IN fact been vested, and a weak betrayal
of public interests, while on the other
hand their motives were liable to gross
miscOnstructiOn if they refused such
compliance, Placed In this embarrass-
ing position they seem to have adopted
the most ludicIOus course open to them
in institutIDg a suit the object of which
is to relieve them Of all responsibility
in the premises, and TO refer the whole
matter to the decision of the courts
The complaint of the trustees, filed on
Saturday in the nineteenth district
court, asks for leave to resign their
trusts, and for the appointment OF new
trustees to be their successors. The
complaint is in the nature of an old
fashioned bill In equity, and the court
in dispOsing of the matter will have to
pass upon the question whether the
original deed was valid and irrevocabIe.

AS OTHERS SEE Us.-In giving his
constituents an account of his recent
visit to America, Mr.. Il. @. z. ChIders,
NJ P, said he was never so amazed as
when he compared his last trip with
one he made fifteen years before, Just
previous to the rebellion. He noticed a
great development IN national feeling.
Formerly the Americans thought too
much of what others were thinking or
saying of them; now they appear TO
have acquired thorough imperial and
national character, and had grown in
national confidence. He also noticed
that the proportion of foreigners, es-
pecially Germans, had greatly Increased.
At the close of his speech he gave the
hattering assurance that the Am. ricaus
were not wanting in good manners, so
brietY, and ciyility-a delusion which
his countrymen-. generally entertained.

The diverse of the coin viii have the fig
ure of liberty taking it easy in sitting
posture, and surrounded by thirteen
twinkling stars. Theword ''liberty" will
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 TWEEN
ty-fve cent coins.
AMONG the first results of the revival
of business will be an immense emigra-
tion 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 shall have a
large immigration of Englishmen and
Irishmen. So soon as the the IaboriDg
classes in Europe are sure that they can
obtain employment here they will emf
CRATE by thousands, and we need no. h.
ing except q 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 POutre, 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. It
is thought these upheavals will seriously
interfere with Capt. Ead's jetties 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 a
source Of serious expense in the much
needed improvement of the mOuChs of
the Mississippi.
A STEAMSHIP arrived IN New York the
other day with a cargo of I, $50 sacks of
salt and 100 barrels of arsenic. The
bulk of the salt was stored in the lower
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 over
the salt. The cargo was discharged,
delivered to tie consignees, and by
them forwarded without delay to ooUn-
try customers who had bought to arrive.
The cargo had not entirely disappeared,
however, before a chemist was called in
to ascertain if the scattered poison had
penetrated the bags holding the salt,
and il was found that it had to such an
extent as to endanger the lives of the
consumers of the salt. Instantly the
telegraph was used, happily with entire
success, to secure the return of the
dangerous commodities to the city
The interesting question now is, who
shall stand the loss The material can
be used only in tanning or some like
chemical process, and, of course, it's
value is greatly reduced.

THE placing of mail boxes in the
Chicago street cars has proved a very
successful and popular experiment.
Most of the lines pass by the Postof-
fee building on one street or another,
and the mail boxes are empted on each
trip. Thus a man living six mi, es dis
tant from the office, has his mail deliv-
cred as quickly as though he had taken
the car himself and deposited it in per-
son. The innovation commends itself
for adoption in ell largo cities.
