: There is = great rush to buy the $40 re
certificates at New York. Post
master James has sold $4,000 900 worth Of
hem, and on Friday last the number Of ap-
plicants was ,sfeatsr than ever. At least
Due kundredsand seventy women, and more
than as many men awaited the opening of
the cashiers window at IL q. m. Then, in
IN hour and half, the $4,000 worth on
hand was sold, and hundreds who had wait.
ed to BE- served went away disappointed.
Among these was an old gentleman who had
paid fifty cents for a place near the head of
the line.
In Bellevue hospital, New York, the
other night, while Edward McAllister, one
of the night orderlies, was putting a shroud
the body Of a man known as "John the
Woodman," the muscles in the dead mans
body suddenly contracted and the left arm
struck him on the eide of the head. Nc.
supposing that the dead man had
to life, ran for = doctor, to whom he
told the story. The physician on inyesti-
CATION pronounced the body ~lifeless, and
discovered the cause of the orderly's scare.
autopsy was made or the body, when it
ascertained that death had resulted from
Paris green poisoning.
The Calcutta correspondent Of the London
Times says: "The great khoomb or duo
decennial festival, at Hurdwar, threatens to
be as disastrous in its consequences az was
that of 1867. From seven hundred and
fifty thousand to one million pilgrims as
sembled, and, despite the precautions taken
by the authorities, cholera in a severe form
broke out a few days before the close of the
fair. The streams of returning pilgrims are
now carrying the disease in various direc-
tons toward their homes, and outbreaks are
reported from Delhi, Umritaur, Ra-
wul. Pindse and other places of northern
India. At the last mentioned station some
cases have appeared among the European
troops" tds& q
Considerable interest is being manifested
in the expedition to Rio de Jaueiro which is
to sail from New York July 5. The pro-
ject is the result Of the meeting Of merchants
and manufacturers at Cooper institute in
February, to recommend measures for the
promotion Of our trade with Brazil, and the
Esteamer accommodations limit the members
Of the expedition to sixty persons, who 20
ont. for the purpose Of observation and Of
te1hihtnz such American products as are
likely ID End q market in that country. The
cost Of the paseage will. be $500 per head
md the party are expected to return in the
latter part of September, the journey thu:
looming in the Brazilian winter, when tn,
climate i healthy and delightful.
Between 1857 and 1876 the value of i'm
ported and cereal food consumed in Grea
Britain rose from s35, 00O, 600 to e1l0,OO
900, about one.half being represented b,
wheat in fact, it seems that the half q
every loaf eaten in England is made of for
eign wheat. One point which has not BEEF
fully noticed before is that to-day the use o
food derived from animal sources has yer,
much increased in England. Thirty year
ago not more than one.third of the EnRlisl
people consumed animal food even once il
the week. To-day nearly all Of them use
at least once every day. Now, ten year
ago the United Kingdom produced nint
tenths Of the meat and dairy produce whic
was eaten, but last year three.fourthe onl
we're made, the other fourth coming fror
abroad.
