Many persons will take a Cost

gardless of style, providing it is
low in price. We have over
hauled our entire coat stock, and
find some coats left from last
season. Some are short, some
are medium, and some are wraps;
all with few exceptions, being
made of fine cloth and we'll trim
med: they lack nothing but the
newest style and could we'll be
used for marketing, stormy wealth

pay to make over. The whole
lot is moved out of our regular
coat stock and marked at bargain
prices on separate tables. The
regular prices we're not less than

Sahara, the name given to the I'M
mense tract of the continent OF Africa
which stretches from the Atlantic
Ocean to the River Nile, distance OF
more than 2, 900 miles, and from the
base of the Atlas Mountains to the
borders of the Soudan. Formerly this
region was believed to be huge sandy
plain, dotted over here and there with
speck like little Gases; but it is now
known to consist mainly of plateaus,
some of them Of very considerable ele-
vation; and the table land in the IN
terror is much more fertile than was
supposed, though in the west there is
an area equal to that OF the Mediterra-
mean covered with trackless sands,
which are prolonged as sandbanks for
miles into the Atlantic Ocean. A por-
tion of this area, which is believed to
be on lower level than the bed of the
ocean, it has been recently proposed to
food from the Atlantic, so as to furnish
q waterway into the interior; and it has
also been proposed to open a channel
from Gabes, on the coast of the Med
iterranean. 20 the great marsh lakes OF
Southern Tunis, the effect OF which
would be, it is said, to convert those
lakes into great inland sea, fifteen
times as large as the lake OF Geneva. A
considerable caravan trade is carried on
across the Sahara between Morocco and
Tripoli and Soudan; and the French
Government have had it in contempla-
tion to construct trans.Saharan rail-
way to unite Algiers with the Senegal
and Niger regions. In the course of
the work connected with this proposed
railway, remains have been discovered
buried in the sand, which prove Sahara
to have been at one time more populous
than it is now, and its trade much more
extensive. The existing population,
which is entirely nomadic or pastoral,
is estimated at from three to four mil
lions. The chief product is salt.--[Cas-

The Cuban Comedy.

New York, ia letter from
Havana dated April 5 b says: There
are serious accounts from the In
terror IS to the movement OF large
parties OF bandits, aud government
troops continue to come IN. fesser'
day a tatta ion of regular troops
was sent from Havana to Vuel aar-
riba and for few days the coast In
the neighborhood of Havana was
occupied by detachments OF troops.
The government is apparently
waking up to the situation. Private
accounts from st. DJmingo cay the
Cuban refugees there are in possess
sion of large amounts of money and
are preparing for landing In
Cuba in combination with
parties here. This is probably the
cause of the extraordinary move
ments Of troops. The government,
in spite of all these facts, pretends
TO ridicule all reports of threatened
invasion.
News has reached this city that
the minister for the colonies has
made new loan of So, 100000 with
Hispsno, Colon al bank of Barcelona,
for the account of the Cuban trea-
sury. The Cuban treasury will pay
1 per cent. com mission on the loan
and interest at 81 per cent. per an
mum. This measure has caused the
greatest indignation here, and added
TO the state OF profound alarm and
general discomfort, prevailing as to
q loan aud contract made with the
same bank 1880, rnd considered one
of the calamities which brought
about the present state Of affairs.
The bank is already receiving $780,
300 daily from the income OF Cuban
custom houses. The present loan
adds $4,000 daily. A perfect panic
Is reigning in the markets; mer-
chants in order to sell their drafts
nave to submit to large loss on cur
'enJ rates.
