to all. appearances quite dead. having
been in that state for nearly twelve
months past. She awakens, however,
once every twenty-four hours, precisely
at ten o'clock at night, and will converse
with the family and others for about
twenty minutes, when she will again re-
lapse into the comatose state and remain
so until 10 o'clock the following night,
at which hour she revives to the minute
throwing out her arms and folding her
hands to ,ether and raising upon hcr
shoulder until the spectators imagine
that her bones are cracking. She re-
mains in that lsborious state for the
space OF ten minutes, when she comes

tics. "A singular feature OF TIE case Is

the bulk of the others large class sailing
vessels, the fleet having total carrying
capacity OF l0,000.009. bushels grain,
The list does not include many ether
vessels chartered to come here which
aro not yet ready to sail from ports in
Europe. Next month the arrivals will
be the largest ever recorded at the
Baltimore custom house in the ga me

more grain elevators are needed at once
for this point. one at Locust Point aud
tho other at Canton, which now Ii ave

600 bushels respectively. Previous TO

OF the trade recently shows that if the

French Ambassador to Russia, who is here en-
route to st. Petersburg, will probably delay his
departure till after the festival. Owing to the
Emperors indisposition the ceremonial will be
reduced to IA minimum" The Berlin Idgss1iah
says It is rumorcd that Count de Sant-Vallicr,
the French Ambassador has rendered his
resignation in consequence of difference with
Prince Bismarck. The Reichstag yesterday
adopted without debate the motion before men
toned calling upon Prince Bismarck to cause
suspension during the Parliamentary session of
the proceedings instituted in the Berlin Criminal
Court against Deputy Fritzche.
The debate on Herr Schnclgan's motion for
the establishment of an autonomous govern
ment in Alsace-Lorraine, having its seat in the
province itself, was commenced Deputy Kable,
Oh behalf of the protest party, declared that he
would only support the motion on condition
that it also demanded the creation of popular
freely elected Assembly.
Prince Bismarck stated that he was ready to
support in the Bundcsiath measure granting
such degree of autonomy as would accord with
the military security of the country. He said
that the situation in Alsacc-I Lorraine must not
be viewed in too rosc-colored light, and in
stanced the attitude Of the clergy and the success
of number of the protest party ut the elections
The development of tho present Provincial
Commission into regular parliament could
only be taken into consideration when definite
motions concerning the mode OF election were
submitted to the Bundcsrath. The granting
to Alsace- LORI a:nc Of the right of appoint
ing members Of the Bundesrath would only
strengthen Plussia's votes therein, thus
unnecessarily modifying the constitution.
But an arrangement was possible for a consuta-
tive representation of the province with u voice
in the discussion Of laws directly affecting it.
At the same time, having in view the security OF
the country, every concession must be made
liable to revocation. The scussion then closed.
