IT is to be hoped that congress will
make a judiciously liberal appropriation
for the securing of proper representa-
ton of this country's products at tn"
Paris Exposition next year. The i'm
portance of being presented before the
world in our most favorable attitude is
such that the interests of every depart
ment of our natural trade demand
prompt attention to the matter. The
great worlds fairs are growing rapidly
In significant Importance All who
were so fortunate as to visit the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia last year will
readily acknowledge that, as a means
of advertising the industrial products of
a country. no means can be more eff
cient and thorough than these great
fairs 1t is certain that foreign coun-
tries increased their trade with the
United States to an enormous extent
by being represented at Philadelphia.
This benefit was mutual Our wares
and manufactures have fonnd market
in every part of the world So, in the
coming exposition, an opportunity will
be afforded to drum ,, the whole world
for trade The country can afford a
trifing expense to make the best of
this opportunity

The LARGEST SAURIAN Professor O.
G. Marsh has recently received collec-
ton of reptilian remains from the crus-
taceous deposits of Colorado, among
which he has found portions of an
enormous dinosaur which he states is
larger than any land animal hitherto
discovered. The dinosaurs were a tribe
Of immense saurians, having many
mammalian characters, such as me-
dullary cavity in the long bones, short
pachyderm-like feet, sacrum of five
united vertebre, and lateral motion of
the lower jaw. They include the igua-
nondon, megalosaurus, ETC., herbivorous
and carnivorous. The alligator belongs
to the same order. The reptile discov-
cred by Prof. Marsh probably measured
from 50 to 6O feet in length. 1t was
herbivorous and seems quite distinct
from any species hitherto described.
The name Titanosaurus montanus has
been applied to it.

The Earthquake in Montreal
Montreal Special, Nov. At


A severe shock of earthquake was
felt throughout this city a few minutes
before this morning. There was but
one shock. It extended over large
area, but was not accompanied by the
usual rumbling, but with sound like
that caused by the sudden colliding of
two bodies. Every person on fat in
earthquakes is anxiously awaiting news
from the adjacent country, and in ex-
pectation, also, of the recurrence here
of the appalling phenomenon. People
are talking to-day Of the ancient proph-
ecy of the pious Catholic monk, that
the island Of Montreal would, before
the end of the nineteenth century, be
swallowed up by al'ae te,r,e trenablante, and
every one who reads French, and can
find the book, is peruslng the account
of the terrible earthquake of 1862, in
Lower Canada, when Indians described
the trees of the forest as all engaged in
a drunken dance, and, as tradition has
it, the falls of the Saguenay, Ha-ha bay,
and the tall surrounding cliffs were
formed by the terrible CONFUSION Of
nature.

THE exports of wheat amount to at
least two and a half millions of bushels
of wheat per week at present. At this
rate it will not take a great while to
carry abroad the greater portion of the
surplus wheat crop, The exports OF
produce from the ports of this country
for the week ending Nov. 6 were 3,OOO,-
600 bushels of wheat, 100000 bushels
of corn, 100000 bushels of rye and as
many bushels of barley, 5000 bushels
of pork, 100000 pounds of lard and
bacon.

Mr.. W. A. PHILLIPS, of Kansas, on
Monday, the 9Th, introduced in the
house of representatives a bill for the
establishment of a system Of postal
savings banks similar to that now in
use in England. The fact that the gov
eminent could apply to the payment
of its own debts several hundred mil
lions Of dollars-some believe from hall
to two thirds of the whole debt-from
money borrowed in this way from the
people and the fact that SO large a
number of savings banks have recently
gone into bankruptcy causing an enor-
nous loss to the people, will give such
a measure great strength In congress-
and much favor with the people. The
savings deposits Of the people of the
United States are not less than one half
of the public debt-Onc billion of dollars
and the advocates of the measure
claim that the government could get all
this vast sum of money at per cent.
interest, with which it could pay all its
outstanding six per cent bonds amount
ing to nearly that sum and by SO doing
would accomplish three great ends viz.
first, save per cent interest on bill
lion of dollars SIC, 900, 600; second, pay
the other 4 per cent. interest-$4O OOO,-
0OO-to the people at home instead Of
sending it to Europe; and lastly, but
not least, afford the vast number Of
poor people who have this enormous
sum of money on deposit, an absolutely
safe depository for their money where
it els secured by the faith and wealth Of
the whole nation. 1t is not to be denied
that these are considerations worthy OF
the attention Of the law making power
as well as worthy of the favor of the
people.
. 1t is also argued, in favor of the
measure. that a system of deposit il
any money order post Office, would
afford greater conyeniences than ii
savings banks as the depositor coule
generally reach such a post Office easier
and if he emigrated from one state tt
another he could go to the nearest office

A New IRON Notwithstanding

A New IRON ALLOY. -Sideraphthite is
the name of a new iron alloy, composed
of Is parts iron, % nickel, 4 tungsten,
5 aluminium, and 5 copper. 1t is
said to resist sulphuretted hydrogen, is
not attacked by vegetable acids, and
only slightly by mineral acids. 1t IS
really more useful than standard silver,
while it can be produced at cost not
exceeding that of German silver. For
alloys that have to be silver-p plated to
prevent oxidation this material is a per-
fectly successful substitute.

had not seen occasion for an officers

vored the reduction to $4,000.

Hlndoo WOmau,

There Is no place on earth where benevolent
work among women Is more needed than In
India. Christian missionaries have been trying
for half u century to convert the Hindoos, but
have scarcely succeeded in bettering the con-
dition of tho people at all. True, the strong
arm Of the English government has mostly
suppressed female infanticide, but n female
child among the Hindoos Is still unwelcomed
at her birth, untaught in her girlhood, en-
slaved when married, accursed as widow, and
unlamentcd at her death"
Lady Anna Gore Langton declares that whas
is most needed among these poor creatures Is
intelligent women physicians from Europe and
America. India o3ers an immense field for
somo of our weu-cducated, energetic women
doctors. Their labors would not only be be-
nevolent, but exceedingly lucrative. Sir salar
Jung sent to America for one lady physician.
and she has now an extensive practice anon z
women and children, and Is on tho high road
to wealth.

The Power of Fashion.

In tho memoirs of st. Simon is to be found
an account Of tho way ridiculous Partisan Ia
dies dressed their hair in l7l3. Their head
dresses are described as "edihces Of brass wire.
ribbons, hair aud all sorts Of tawdy rubbish,
more than two feet high, making wOmcn's
heads seem in the middle of their bodies IL
they moved ever 50 lightly the structure trcm-
bled, and the Inconvenience was extreme. The
king. Louis XIV, could not endure them, but,
master as he was of everything, was unable 70
Danish them. They lasted ten years and moro
despite all he could do or say" ...
Another significant circumstance relative 70
the power Of fashion is, that while the indu-
ence of the clergy was so potent as to produce
the crusados, they utterly failed in an attempt
they made TO put tho ridiculously long shoes
worn at that epoch out Of fashion. 1t was then
the style among both ladies and gentlemen, in
England and France, TO give an enormous
length 10 the toe. The clergy aforesaid con-
strued this into m impious attempt to add .
cubit to the stature, and therefore denounced
it. But, though they could overthrow thrones
and send million Of men to tho deserts Of
Asia, they could not prevail against the long
toes.
