A London special says: A great SEN
sation was caused at BRISTOL by the dis
covely of cargo of 600 tons of human
bones being discharged there to the Or
der Of . local firm engaged in manufac.
turing manure. The bones were shipped
from Rodesto. at Constantinople, and
are supposed to be the remains princi-
pally Of the defenders Of Plevna. There
aro complete limbs among the horrible
cargo, and in some cases the hair still
adheres to the skulls. Peter Cooper says
it is common thing among the British
to buy human bones. In fact they will
take all they can get at any time from
any part of the world. They use them
for manuring lands.
The New York Public of the l4th inst.
says: "The exchanges last week were
materially disturbed by the unusual day
of prayer on account of the preside mt.
In this and other states the week embra-
ces but five days OF business, olthough
the exchanges as respects the payments
on drafts and checks by mail were near
ly the same as if things had been open
six days. In some states the exchanges
closed Thursday, in others Tuesday, and
considerable difference results in the
comparative payments made during the
week. hence the exchanges cannot be
taken rs of usual Significance, and the
increase shown only proves the volume
of business. Had the week been unln-
terrupted it would have been still more
in excess of the business done for the
corresponding week."
