The steamer Coptic, which sailed Thurs
dav from San Francisco for Hong Kong,
carried away nearly 1900 Chinamen-the
largest number that ever sailed from this
port. OF this number, over 900 were pro-
yided with return certificates. Notwith-
standing the crushing and squeezing to
get aboard, great deal OF good humor
prevailed among them. An item worthy
OF remark is that every one OF the 1.2OO

A fire occurred early Thursday morning
underneath the kitchen in the Brevoort
House, at Fifth avenue and Eighth street,
New York. About one hundred and fifty
guests were asleep at the time. and these
were awakened and hurried down to the
main hail. Nearly half 4 hundred employees
were also slumbering at the time. These
were also aroused; but great difficulty was
experienced with the female servants, who
were seized with panic, and threatened
TO lump out OF the windows into the
street. The fire was eXtinguished, after
causing a loss Of about $500.
The Republican and Leader, La Crosse,
Wis. has further details OF the. cyclone
which visited the little town Of Arcadia, in
Trempeeau county, Monday night. None
of the injured will die. The storm struck
the town at midnight. Upon the approach
Of the storm the air was SO charged with
electricity that lights could not be made to
burn. People rushed to their cellars to
avoid the danger which seemed imminent.
The atmosphere was Of reddish green
color, with strong sulphuric 0dOr, and the
roar OF the tornado was deafening. Barns
and outbuildings were torn from their foun-
datiOns, dashed to fragments and scat
! tered in all directions. Broken boards.
| trees, bricks, and stones filed the air, aud
were hurled so violently in some cases as
, TO drive them through the sides OF build
! ings. Mrs. Bessy and Miss Piper, who
were most injured 10y their falling resi-
dence, are considered out Of danger. The
cyclone seems TO have spent its force up
/ North Creek Valley, damaging property,
but causing no loss Of life.
