Bordeaux delegate, several other doctors,

infected town of Alcira. They went to the
sick-beds of fifteen cholera patients at the
Hospital de In Carload and to pri-
vate houses. The visitors were escorted
everywhere by q crowd Of enthusiastic
natives. who evidently regarded DIR. FeIran
as the third Redeemer, the other two being,
according to DIR. Feran, Christ. the moral
savior Of mankind, and DIR. Pasteur, the
physician savior. Most of the patients are
recovering. There are only two very bad
cases there not inoculated. Mendacious
official statistics set down the population of
Alcira at $4,000. The real population is
20, 900 or ~, 600. OF these the correspond

were reinoculated. After minute examina-

reinoculated, twenty were cured out of
fifty of each category under treatment. On
returning to Valencia the whole party was
obliged to undergo the absurd pretense of

MEXICAN FINANCES.

Consolidation of the National Debt-The
Maximilian Issue Repudiated.
TCity Of Mexico dispatchI
The Government announces in the Dia-
rio 0fciGI its plan for the consolidation of
the entire debt of the country, with the ex-
ception of the floating debt, which is already
provided for in an authorized issue Of
$25,OO0, 900 bonds at six per cent. The con-
solidated debt will bear interest at three per
cent, but the maximum interest will not be
reached until 1890. Next year, 1886, one per
cent will be paid in 1887. Ii per cent in
1888, per cent; in 1889, % per cent. !;
and in 1890, 3 per cent. The National
Bank of Mexico will have charge of the
negotiations, and the interest will be pay
able in the City of Mexico, in New York,
and in London. The debt of Macmillan
is formally repudiated.
Foreign capitalists are reported to have
advised this Government in this matter,
and it is believed that now this complete
financial readjustment will revive the credit
of the nation abroad.

The Worlds Great Statues Compared.

The statue of Liberty Enlightening
the World is the largest work of its
kind that has ever been executed. The
famous Colossus of Rhodes, according
to the proportions which the legends
attribute to it, was but miniature in
comparison. Other great statues are
also in comparison quite small. Thus
the Bavaria, at Munich, measures 10
metres 70 centimetres; the Virgin OF
Puy, 16 metres; st Charles Borromeo,
% metres. The Vendome Column in
Paris is only A metres in height, and
Liberty Enlightening the World meas
ures 46 metres from the base to the top
of the torch, or 305.1 feet above mean
low water mark. An idea of its size
may be formed from the following fig
ures: The forefnger is 2.45 metres in
length and LA metres in circumfer-
ence at the second joint. The nail
measures s85 metre by .26 metre. The
head is 4.40 metres in height. The eye
is go metre in width. The nose is /. IL
metres in length. CA metre equals
80. 36S inches About forty persons
can be accommodated in the head. It is
possible to ascend into the torch above
the hand. It will easily hold twelve
persons. The total weight is 200, 900
kilos, and the entire work represents
an outlay of more than a million francs.

dicating blood poison it has no equal. A
friend who had been a great sufferer from that
disease, contracted during the war, you will
be glad to know has by the use of your REM

mercurial rheumatism, so that his skin and
tongue and breath are as pure as a child's
without the least faint. He desires me to say
this to you, and to thank you with all the sin
certify of a grateful heart and healed body for
giving poor, frail humanity so effective a rem
edy for a disease hitherto regarded incurable.
Let every one similarly afflicted take your
remedy, and they surely will be well again.
In his behalf, and to encourage others, | glad
