NJ. Ferry's Ministry has decided to
make Il bud for peasant votes by rails
ing the duty on corn, now 40 low as
to he useful chiefly for statistical pur-
poses, to four times its amount-thnt
is, to 2fr. 60t. per quintal, II II per
cent. upon the average value. This
is about equivalent toa duty of IS.
per quarter in England, assuming the
average price to be 4Os., and is not
very courageous. 1t will not be sufi-
cient to restore wheat growers profits,
as much threatened in France as in
England, while it will raise the price
OF corn to all non-producers. 1t is
said, TOO, that Il large section of the
peaSantry, who eat their own produce,
will be irritated at the favour shown
to their neighbours, while MI manu-
tactnrerS are protesting and forming
organisations TOR defence. One bre,d
riot in ii great city, would shake Nj.
Ferry more than any discomfort at
cheap corn aud such IA riot is posi-
bic, the artisans being already muclr
distressed. They feel the effect of
that depression in the great trades
which is observable everywhere, and
which has not yet been thoroughly
explained, and are, of course, ready to
believe that the Government, with its
expenditure and its 'plots for the
benefit of the rich," is the cause of
their suffering. The degree of this
suffering, especially in Paris and Ly-
on<, is said 10 be quite unusual, the
dread Of cholera having diminished
the influx Of foreign visitors, and in
creased the desire of the rich to get
out of HE crowd.

 For some years past the temperance or Prohibition party have been laboring in the direction of entire prohibition throughout the country, and although they have not been altogether successful, yet in some States they have far exceeded their greatest expectations. More notice has been taken of the late campaign in Georgia, and more especially in Atlanta, than of any campaign since the party was formed. Considerable excitement was aroused when, the other evening in temperance meeting in Atlanta, rich young girl was palmed off on the un- suspecting audience as a drunkards child. Indignation was aroused throughout the en- tire city, State and, I may almost say, coun- try, when the fraud became known but why ssthis should be thus' is beyond the comprehension of your humble servant, for far worse frauds are perpetrated in either party during the presidential campaigns. If the pity and sympathy of the audience could be aroused in this way as in no other, why shouldn't it be donea For it merely

 During the past year the Young Mems Christian associations of this country have been very active in well doing. The new building recently dedicated at Brooklyn is one of the finest and most useful of it's kind in the world. All over the world new Y M. c. A. buildings have been erected or pro- jected. Atlanta is to have home for young men result of the recent religious and moral awakening there, and the enthusiasm has reached from Atlanta to other southern cities, such as Nashville, Macon, etc. Wash ington young men are raising funds for a home. Albany proposes to have a young mems building, Syracuse will soon open one and two or three Massachusetts cities are on the way to the same accomplishment. At Worcester the association asked for $91, ,000 upon condition that pledges should not be binding till the whole was secured. Business men have taken hold of the enterprise with spirit, 80,000 has already been subscribed and the chances of completing the fund are so promising that the association will strike for round $100,000 in order to carry out more fully the objects in view.
 At recent gathering of medical men in Philadelphia Dr. w. s. Janney, late coroner of that city, made the startling statement that 'sno healthy man or woman ever dies in this climate from cholera morbus." :" He re- peated the remark to the editor of the Medi- cal and Surgical Reporter, saying that the I records of the coroners office would substan- tiate his words. He explained that by ''healthy" he meant person without organic diseases and of average strength and vitality
 ''Such person" i" he said, Stwhen dying with symptoms of cholera morbus always dies from poisoning Casually arsenic), and the case is one of suicide or homicide" The ex- coroner first examined into these cases when stout, healthy man of his acquaintance died after illness of thirty-six hours with symp- toms of cholera morbus. He had been at tended by four reputable physicians, one of whom had signed the death certificate. Yet enough arsenic in the deceased to kill dozen men. He afterward met with five or six sim liar cases. Dr. Bartholow, in conversation with the editor of the Reporter, said that he had not the least doubt of the correctness of
