was sent fiom Boston 10 France, announc
ing that on the previous day great
cyclone, with its center at that time in
Newfoundland, was moving eastward
across the Atlantic, and in four or Ave
days would probably arrive In Europe
by way Of Ireland. The storm did, in
fact, reach Ireland on the 10Th Of Jan.
uary, and proceeded eastward. This
verifcation Of weather forecast is men
toned by NJ. II. larry, in a communi.
cation TO the French Academy Of Science
on the possibility Of predicting the arriv-
al OF transatlantic storms in Europe.
The particulars which reach us Of the
late Berlin panic are quite interesting,
though they prove the trouble to have
been entirely local. A party Of Berlin
bears had sold short on Vienna stocks to
the amount Of 10000 shares. The
bona fide holders in Vienna, learning Of
the corner, refused to ~ll or lend, and
the Berlin party, unable to ell their
contrncts, went under. Thirty declared
themsslves hnkrupt, and two or three
finished their venture by committing
suicide.
CAPTAIN GENERAL VALMAsEDA, OF
Cuba, has issued a proclamation Offering
pardon to rebels who surrender before
May 80, 1875. The pardon is uncondi-
tionsl for all except deserters from the
Spanish force, who will be required to
serve in the vanguard Of the army until
the end Of the war. The proclamation
declares that enough loyal bayonets
remain in Spain to make those Spanish
soldiers bite the dust who continue in
cioec union With thc insurgents, shedding
the blood Of their former companions
and brothers."
The Chicago Inter. Ocean thinks nothing
short Of Chinese wall will.prevent Am
orleans from paying sl0O, ,0OO, 900 in gold
annually for the pleasure Of crossing the
ocean. II objects to the transfer Of this
amount to English pockets. and suggestss
cure. II says; There is no way OF pre-
venting the expenditure Of the money
in this way, but there is way to prevent
its going 10 England, and it is very sim
pie. let Americans build steamships,
and other Americans will take passage
in them, and the money they pay for
fares will remain at home.
We have been visited by princes and
grand duke. and Kanaka king, but we
have never had a real princess among us
except the Princess Salm-Salm. Now,
however, il is announced that the
Princess Louise, Of England, the very
much the better half of the Marquis of
Lorne, will visit us next fall. Here will
be an opportunity for the women's clubs
to outdo in their reception ofthe Princess
the absurdities Of the men who kotoued
to Kalakaua and the Prince Of Wales.
They would find il very difficult to sue
cessfully rival masculine folly in this
matter; but no one knews what women
eau really do until they try.

The attention Of the Mexican author
tiles has been called to the repeated out
RACES on the border, and an intimation
conveyed in firm but respectful language
that in case the Mexican Government
did not interfere and put a stop to the
invasion Of Texas by parties from the
Mexican side Of the river, this Govern
ment would feel in duty bound to do it
for them. All the available troops in
the department will he used to assist the
State forces. The presence Of Colonel
Mckenzie on the Texas frontier with the
men whom he led across the Rio Grande
in pursuit of the marauding kickapoo
Indians, is regarded as an evidence that
some good news will soon be heard from
that quarter
RECENT dispatches from Japan say
that the authorizes of Fukien show them
selves alive TO the necessity Of increased
intercourse with Formosa. Commission
er Shew, who petitioned in January that
the Viceroy's official residence should be
changed from Fukien to Fomosa, now
addresses q memorial TO the throne, ask
ing the removal OF all restrictions on trade
with or emigration to that island. This
document reveals the remarkable fact
that all Chinese hitherto forbidden under
heavy penalties to enter the territory of
the savages trade or iater-marry with
them; also that stone posts have always
marked the line where the aboriginal
territory begins, Thus new evidence is
afforded that China never controlled
savage Formoss. In answer to petition,
decree was issued authorizing coloniza-
tion.
