A Remarkable Man.

NJ Cernuschi, the well-known bi-met-
alist who visited the state last year, has
had very remarkable career. He and
Alessandro Castellani fought side by
side behind barbados in the old italian
revolution. Cernuschi left Italy and
came to France after political events
had rendered an Italian residence tenn
porarily distasteful to him. He lived
nnootly in Paris for some time, but was
soon employed by NJ. Arago in the bu-
reau of longitudes, and his remarkably
versatile talent soon displayed itself in
many ways. His views on paper money
brought him into relations with the adj
ministration of the Bank of France. and
he was soon allowed to become the agent
of loan At this business he accumu-
lated several millions of francs, the
foundation of his present fortune. Then
he went rapidly forward.
He is wonderfully acute in business.
Shortly before the Franco-Prussian war
came on, he bought up all the cognac in
the market of Bordeaux and sent it to
London. Meeting NJ Castellani in that
city, he invited him to dinner, and in
the course of the repast remarked, go, /
made 100000 francs to-day out of that
little speculation in cognac" When he
started on his little journey round the
world, Castellani advised him to keep a
sharp lookout for fine japanese bronzes.
Cernuschi organized caravan in japan.
went far into the interior. and brought
back the materials for this splendid mu-
scum, which we had the pleasure of see
ing last evening. There are few parks,
if any, in the world, which have, like the
Pare Monceau, palace like that of M.
Menler at one end, and mansion like
that of NJ. Cernuschi at the other of its
rich and verduous lawn.

WAR NOTES.

The Russians are fortifying Rodosto, evil
IDENTIFY continuing every means to gain a
flrm hold on Bulgaria, and are preparing to
hold 1t if need be against all adversaries
The meeting of the congress rather increased
than abated their activity in that respect.
A TELEGRAM from Belgrade says that the
GOODNESS with which the plenipotentiaries
have individually received the propositions
made by Minister Ristics, representative of
Servia in Berlin, creates a feelin of de-
spondency. The second and third classes
of militia reserve have been called out for
immediate service.
A CORRESPONDENT at Berlin SAYS the
compliance of Russia with the demand of
England and Austria for the evacuation of
Bulgaria by the Russians on or shortly after
the conclusion of peace, and the garrisoning
of the Balkan line by the Turks, is deemed
the sine qua non on which the success of the
congress depends.
The congress has decided to admit
Greece, with consultation voice in oues-
tions affecting Greek interest.
THE Russians are sending reinforcements
against the Rhodope insurgents, who seem
to be making preparations to take the of.
fensive.
THE situation in the Russian and Rouma-
MAN armies is a miniature copy of that ex-
listing about Constantinople. The Rouma-
man government is certainly not disposed
to quarrel with Russia, but the feeling be-
tween officers and men of the respective
armies is so strangely antagonistic that the
proximity of the two lines renders unfortu.
nate complications possible.
1T appears that within the last few day
there has been imminent danger of a con-
tilct between Russians and Turks, Baker
Pasha or Fuad Pasha having on the 18th
given the Russians few hours notice to
remove an observatory overlooking the
Turkish lines. The porte, on being in
formed of the affair, ordered the military
authorities to MAINTAIN peace.
GEN. ToDLEBEN refuses to detach more
troops against the Rhodope insurgents in
consequence OF large reinforcements of
Turks which have arrived at Constantinople.
KILOGRAMS from Cettinje announce that
on the 14th instant the Turks from Scutari
attacked the Montenegrins and were re-
pulsed.
THE questions which threaten the success
of the congress are believed to be the ces-
sion of Antivari to Montenegro, the posi-
ton of Roumelia in relation to Turkey, and
of the administrative and governmental
organization of Roumelia. Bessarabia will
be yielded to the personal wishes of the
car, and Roumania will accept Dobrud ia in
exchange. Territorial concessions in Arme-
MIA will not meet with opposition from Eng
land.
MENTION is made of an Anglo-Turkish
Understandings kind of supplement to the
Anglo Russian agreement. 1t secures the
paramount influence of England not only
In Asia Minor, but at Constantinople
A DISPATCH for Constantinople, dated
Syria, asserts that Turkish delegates have
been instructed to withdraw from the con-
gress, and declares that Turkey prefers to
execute the treaty of San Stefano, if con-
gress decides to grant autonomy to Eperus,
Thessaly, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A REMARKABLE will case has Just
been decided in Cleveland, o. In 1875
Nancy Hatch made will, properly
signed and sealed, leaving her property
to certain persons named in the instru-
ment. Last August she became insane
and tore up the will, shortly after which
she died. The legatees then appeared in
court with witnesses, who testified in de-
tail as to the provisions of the will, and
asked to have it revived and probated,
claiming that it was really her last will,
and that after becoming insane she had
not the power to revoke it. The Judge
has now sustained this claim, and the
will has accordingly been revived and
probated.

SHIPYARDs in New York and Brook.
Ign continue very poorly employed. In
Boston business is fair. A letter from
San Francisco reports business still dull
there, but slowly improving. Trade is
fair in Chicago and New Orleans. Ship
building on the Delaware is declining
Some yards are discharging men. Other
yards are employing large numbers, but
many men are still unemployed.

GEN. LIE Due, the commissioner of
agriculture, is experimenting on new
root called chufa. 1t grows in hills like
the potato, is about the size of walnut
and has the flavor of an almond. 1t is
no trouble to raise, and the experiments
made demonstrate that hogs and chick
ems fed on it are of the most. superior
quality, not only in their size, but in
the luscious sweetness of their flesh. 1t
Is predicted that chufa will become a
staple crop among farmers in a few years.

AT Stockton, CAL, a doctor in sinking
well, at the depth of 90 feet came upon
something which prevented further
progress. A drill lowered down re-
bounded with hollow sound, as if strik-
ing the roof of house or the deck of
vessel. He then put down sand pump
and obtained a good stream of water
which brought up with it two brass nuts
of peculiar pattern. For several weeks
past the stream has brought up quanti-
ties of tow or oakum and scales of iron
or copper. 1t is apparent that some sort
of vessel is sunk there, though how it
came so far inland is a mystery, and
shaft will probably soon be sunk to ex-
plore the matter.

HE new fruit which Mr.. Hollister the
ootanst, has introduced from Japan to
San Francisco, has as many varieties as
the apple in western Europe, all of them
retaining more or less of the sweetness
peculiar to the species. 1t is known as
the japanese Pishamin. aud, according
to Mr.. Hollister, it is the most beautiful
OF all the fruit he has ever seen, and the
most delicious to the taste. Four of
those which rjpened in California weighed
three-quarters of pound each, were of a
iicn yeiiv" voler, And Looked like balls of
wax

The highest lodge of Good Templars
resolved, in a session in Boston, that
" the use of fermented wine at the sac
rament of the Lords supper is no where
sanctioned in the scriptures; that it is
not proper symbol to represent the
blood OF Christ and its life-giving power,
and that the use of it in the house of
God on such solemn occasion is a
bulwark of the liquor traffic.

IT is intended to rebuild the Tuileries,
or at least the central portion. The es-
timated cost is about 100000, and the
building will be used as museum. for
France has done with emperors and
kings, or at all events believes she has.
Meanwhile they are holding concerts in
the orangery of the Tuileries, and led off
with one in behalf of the sufferers by
the explosion in the Rue Berenger.

In chuch festival in city in Maine,
meals were sold at 81 apiece at two long
tables. A fine repast was served at one
table by negro walters, while at the
other exceedingly plain fare was dis
pensed by the prettiest girls in the vii
lage. The choice was hard one to make,
and the eaters were about evenly
divided. The pastor ate plain food.
