year the tendency of panic to strike large concerns
irst and the small traders atefward pointed out.
The circular year eufOrces this point and shows
that effect Of panic OF 1873 is nearly exhausted

mainly those OF small traders. This VIII be seen by

The circular says: 1.-THE above figures indicate an III
crease in failures during 1876 Of 1850 in number as
compared with 1873 which, III its turn, showed an ID
crease Of nearly thousand those OF 1874. The

THE CITY OF ERzEROUM.

The pashalic of Erzeroum is the most
important in Asia Minor, including a
population of 500, GOO people dIstribut-
ed in 1,500 villages and towns. The
chief city is Erzeroum, now being fire.
quently mentioned in connection with
the Russo-Turkish war, which has a
population estimated at 40, 900 besides
its garrison. Ofthese 40, 900, 80, 600 are
forks, 5000 Orthodox Armenians and
$500 Catholic Armenians. In 1927
the population was estimated at So
900. The number of its Inhabitants is
constantly changing, owing to the
great number of people who arrive
and depart with the Pesti-
lsnce has often made serious inroads
upon the population, and emigration
has taken man people away. The
city contains % khans, Is public
baths, 20 mosques and merjids and
churches OF the Armenian, Latin and
Greek Christians. The new part of the
town is partly surrounded by an old
castellated wall, but a large part of
the place Is not walled. A deep
ditch was excavated round the sub
urbs some years ago TO keep off the
Russians. There are some curious
and ancient buildings in and around
the citadel, and nearly thirty tombs in
the shape of circular towers, with con
ical stone roofs, alter an early Sara
Genie style of architecture, dating,
some of them, as far back as the
twelfth century. The most elegant
buildings ever erected in the city are
in ruins, being two colleges, nj of
them remarkable for its minarets,
which were built of fine brick, iuted
like Ionic columns, and enameied in
some parts with a blue color. The
winters in Erzeroum are very severe,
owing to the elevation 5000 feet above
the sea. The plain about the city,
which is thirty or forty miles long,
formerly contained hundred -four
ishing villages, but emigration has de-
populated many of them which now
lie in waste. The chief trades are dye.
ing and tanning morocco leather.
Great numbers of horses and cattle are
reared in the plain. Regarded strate-
gicalIy, the town is not favorably To-
Gated. Although at a high elevation,
it is surrounded on one side by a
higher hill, which in the hands of an
euemy would render . defense exceed.
ingly difficult. Some of the submits
Of these hills are continually covered
with snow.

LUcIEN j. BARNES, of the Bureau Of

showing the movements Of bullion

United States and foreign countries.
He says at no former period has this
country been in such a healthy and
favorable condition. For the fiscal
year ending June. 1876, the balance in
trade and merchandise was in favor OF
the United States to the amoun of
nearly $50, O00, 600 specie. The value
Of this amount has been nearly
doubled during the three-quarters of
the present year. II the present very
hattering prospects are fulfilled for the
remainder Of the present fiscal year,
Barnes thinks that the balance OF trade
In merchandise will not be short of

FOOLISH FELLOWS.

The ways of the buffalo as described By
travellers in the far West are as strange as
those of the Heathen Chinee. If "a herd Of
these animals gets on the north side of q
track, it will stand stupidity gazing, though
the locomotive passes within hundred
yards of it. But if two miles from the
track on the south side, the whole herd is
thrown into the widest commotion. Re
gardless of consequences, it will make for
track, and if the train is in it's way, each
individual buffalo will go at it with the
desperation of despair, plunging against or
between the locomotive and the COR. There
was notable instance of this in the winter
of 1871-72, when the ponds and small
rivers were frozen solid, and the buffalo
was forced to the larger rivers for water
The conductors of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad, after having trains
ditched twice in week, learned to have q
very decided respect for the idiosyncrasies
of the buffalo, and when there was posi-
bility of striking herd on the rampage for
the north side of the track, stopped the
train until it had passed.

WHAT THEY DO WITH THE OLD
RHINOCEROSES.

I What they do with the old rhinoceroses
has often been subject of thought by
those visitors to the British Museum, who
know that the staff of the establishment
invariably obey the Act of Parliament
which renders it impossible to remove any
thing from Great Russell street. Everyone
knows that q stuffed rhinoceros will, in
course of time, become unpresentable, nor
can the toughest elephant hide always keep
the straw lining from appearing in q very
Objectionable way. All who remember the
old staircase of Montague House, have felt
that there is limit to the exhibition of a
giraff which had been received at period
so remote that it was described as "camel-
leopard" The difficulty is got over in
way creditablc to the ingenuity of the sci
entifc staff of the Museum and honorable
to their sense of obedience. They stuff the
old rhinoceroses into the new ones; they
line new elephants with the unpresentablc
remains of their forerunners; in the bowels
of the last giraff lie the relics of his pre-,
decessors. This beats the selling of Pha-
raoh for balsams.

During the greater part of the year the rural
population live in wagons, or in tents
pitched in the midst of their herds or flocks
sheep numbered by thousands, and cattle
by hundreds; they are not rooted down to
the soil, or troubled with over-much
baggage, consequently it is not so great a
hardship for them to move away from
home, as it is for farmers in the more set

toned to trek to pastures new; if a Boer has
$4,000 acres or so of land, we'll watered and

where it may be situated Qess than this will
not suffice his needs, for the land is as yet
unfenced, with the exception of few acres
round each homestead); the grass is burnt
off year after year, at great sacrifice of
valuable provender. The common mode
of travelling is by ox-wagon; the Boer will
inspan his oxen twice a year, and take his
produce, wool and hides into the nearest
town for sale, and return home laden with
coffee, tea, sugar, salt, gunpowder, shot,
and other commodities, to meet the require.
