Five Hundred Millions of Dollars in
Gold.
London saturday Review, July >.

ifNtitNAi
Last week the coin and bullion held
by the Bank of England reached the
sum of $50, 142, 525, which is the largest
amount ever collected at one tine in
the Golfers of the bank In the same
week the cash in the Bank of France
was within few thousand pounds of
ninety millions sterling, while the coin
and bullion held by the bank OF Ger
many fell only little short of twenty
eight millions. Thus the stock Of the
precious metals held bv these three
great institutions reached the almost
incredible amount of one hundred and
fifty-three millions sterling. Nearly
half tho stock OF the Bank Of France
is believed TO be in silver; while accord
ing to Mr.. Goschen, the Bank of Ger
many has almost ten millions i'll that
metal. In round numbers, therefore,
the three banks hold between them
about one hundred millions in gold. To
minds not accustomed to consider such
matters from the bankers point of view,
these colossal figures may convey the
notion Of abounding wealth. These
tigui es prove beyond the possibility of
dispute that these great institutions
have resources at their imm ediate dis
posal more than sufficient TO meet any
demands that may be conceived likely
to be made upon them. But the pos
session of such a vast amount oi gold is
the very reverse of profitable. 1t is an
embarrassment to the banks themselves,
end rs sign Of the state of trade il ir
the rever, Il favorable. 1t bears testi-
mony to general stagnation.

Indicinus Advertising.

X man was standing on the corner of Santa Clara and first streets yes terday, denOuncing newspaper adver- Using to crowd of listeners. Last week. said he, II had an umbrella stolen from the vestibule of the - church. It was a gift, and valuing it very highly, spent double its worth in advertising, but have not recovered it."
 "How did you word your advertise ment ?'' asked merchant.
 'Here it is," said the man, pre- ducing slip cut from a newspaper. The merchant took it and read:
 'Lost-From the yestibule of the - church last Sabbath evening, black silk umbrella. The gentleman who took it will be handsomely re- warded by leaving it at No. -, San Fernando street."
 "Now," said the merchant, 'I am liberal advertiser, and have always found that it paid me well. A great deal depends upon the manner in which an advertisement is put. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if you do not acknowledge then that advertising pays I will purchase you new one."
 The merchant then took a slip Of paper from his pocket and wrote:
 If the man who was seen 10 take an umbrella from the vestibule of the - church last Sabbath evening does not wish to get into trouble, and have a stain cast upon the christian character which he values so highly, he will return it to No. = San Fer nando street. He is well known"
 This duly appeared in the paper and the following morning the man was astonished when he opened the front door of his residence. On the porch lay at least a dozen umbrellas of all shades and sizes, that had been thrown in from the sidewalk, while the front yard was Literally paved with umbrellas. Many of them had notes attached to them saying they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser to keep the little affair quiet

What g Shark Swallowed.

The following letter, written by one
of the officers on the British bark Lut-
terworth, has beer handed us with the
request to publish IT,: "While the Lut-
terworth was laying becalmed in the
tropics, a large shark was observed
swimming around the ship. A large
hook with chain attached was baited
with four-ponnd piece of pork. The
shark made for it and bolted it. In
hauling him up the chain parted, and he
coolly swallowed the hook, chain and
pork. Another hook was then baited,
which he instantly seized, biting a
5three-inch rope in twain and also swal-
lowing it with another four pound piece
OF pork. Another hook was then baited
with similar piece Of pork, and with
this the shark was caught and landed
on our main deck. All hands cleared
from him, for he was in terrible hut-
ter. His tail was cut off with the car
.penter's ak, which quieted him little
Some said it was not the same shark we
had hooked before. He was cut open,
when We found the two large shark
hooks and chain and rope snugly coiled
away, with eight pounds of pork, in his
locker. 1t seems almost Incredible, but
all hands are witnesses to it."-Port-

DIR. WILLARD PARKER admits that the
Binghamton Asylum for Inebriates has
not fully answered its purpose, but he
holds that it is not failure. cit has
proved, in spite of all, that the disease,
inebriety, can be cured; large proper
ton Of those treated have been restored
to health and usefulness, and, when
men talk OF cost to the State, we can
point to these numbers Of men, who,
instead of being a burden and curse, as
every drunkard is, are useful and valu-
able citizens" DR.. Parker argues that
drunkenness is vice that, if persisted
in, puts it's possessor beyond the reach
of moral influence, and makes him a
proper subject for treatment.

A RATHER " tough ;" dog story comes
rom ST. Louis. During the recent
,old snap" little pet dog got out of
loors, and when at length found he
was on his back, frozen stiff in death,
as was supposed. A little boy, son of
the owner of the dog, suggested that
the body be placed near the fire, to try
if it could be thawed back to life; and
SO it was put on rug, and the little
boy began to rub the paws and nose.
Some hot whisky was forced down it's
throat, and presently signs of returning
animation appeared, and the dog is now
alive and vel!

THE English murderer Peace is a
desperate man. While on his way from
London to Sheffield for trial, in the
charge of two prison warders, he sud
denly leaped through the window of the
railway carriage while the train was run
ming at the rate of forty miles an hour.
An officers caught him by the foot, and
ne hung thus suspended for two miles,
the signal rope being out of order. At
last, by violent kicking, he contrived to
pull his foot out of the boot and fell to
the ground. He received a conclusion
of the brain and lay senseless on the
track until he was recaptured.

THE RUSSIAN PLAGUE.
Horrible Picture of the Rayages of the Pesti-
lance.

Horrible picture OF the Ravages OF the PesH-
lenee.
A letter from st. Petersburg saws of
the plague in Russia: It has spread in
the southern provinces at a rapid rate.
Thousands upon thousands have died
with it within the last five days. The
victims when taken live about two hours
and turn black all over as negro. All
the physicians ordered to the care of
the sick have died within twenty-four
hours after their arrival. Corpses are
burned and so are the houses in which
the people die. Whole towns have been
laid waste the past few days. Govern
ment has placed Gordon of soldiers
around the infected provinces, so that
people cannot get out and spread the dis
ease. Any who attempt to break through
the Gordon are shot dead on the spot. The
people are beginning to feel uneasy all
over the empire. The Government, of
course, does not allow the news to get
out. All reports are suppressed, but
the worst of all is that nobody can get
out of the empire. The Austrian and
German Governments have placed
double Gordon of soldiers along all the
frontiers, preventing all persons from
entering their territory from Russia.
All persons from Russia by railroad are
stopped at the frontier, and detained
twenty days in quarantine, their bag
gage and clothing disinfected, and, if
they prove all right after lapse of
twenty days, they are permitted to cross
the border. During the twenty-days'
quarantine the people are housed in
large sheds and barns, without any ac
commodations or comforts. Of course,
knowledge of this fact keeps the people
from travelling. There is no
possibility of slipping out anywhere.
The Government is doing all in
it's power to prevent the disease from
spreading, but il it is not stayed soon
the victims may fall by thousands daily.
It is much worse than the yellow fever
was in the South last summer. It was
brought by Tartar soldier a month
ago, who on leaving Turkish territory
pulled off from dead Turk on the bat
tle-held handsome silk shawl, which he
tied around his body. On arriving in
his native town he presented the shawl
to his sweetheart, girl of 10 years. She
tied it around her body, and danced
about for joy, in a room in which were
some twenty-five people. In two hours
she died, and in five hours after the intro
duction of the shawl into the room the
whole party of twenty five had died. All
turned black. In three days the whole
town, containing 1000 people, had died,
with the exception of forty three per-
sons, who had fled in time. From this
town the pest commenced spreading all
over the country.

WHAT, is generally alluded to as the
bicycle mania" has ceased to be a
mania, and has now settled down to'be
regular thing, The Americam BIZ
cycling Journal, of Boston, is the Or
gan of the craft, and is a prosperous
slxteen-page journal. It contains the
prospectus of bicycle tour through
England, which is to take place next
July, and which will doubtless rival the
Woodruff expedition. A partyof twenty
American velocipeders are to take a
6OO-mile ride through England in thirty
days, passing $50 cities and towns en-
route, and hauling up at place called
London. The cost Cabin passage to
and from England, with hotel expenses
there) is 500. In England a company
has just been formed, with capital of
$175,000, for the purpose of manufacture
ing velocipedes, SO the demand for them
there must be greater than ever.

Grating the coffin, with other displays
sthable to that occasion, was $4,000.
This excess brought an immediate reac-
ton, and since then flowers for mortuary
purposes have nearly fallen out of use.
Another feature in funeralsis the choice
of evening as the time of service, after
which the remains are taken away for
interment. The escort to the grave on
such occasions is limited to the smallest
number that may be required. It
would be well If another point could be
brought into fashion-that is, an abate-
ment in display Of mourning, which,
indeed, were contamination deyoutly
to be wished"
The present depression is seriously
felt among the undertakers, who find it
very difficult to make collections.
Hence they are changing their policy,
and, instead of encouraging expensive
funerals, they advise the contrary, I'M
