ga recent order of the Treasury
directs that in the examination of
passengers baggage, whenever the
dutiable value of the goods shall ex-
ceed $500, they must be sent to the
appraisers stores for examination,
but that when the value of the goods
is less than that amount the examin-
alton and appraisement may take
place on the steamship dock. In
determining what constitutes passen-
gers baggage the Board of General
Appraisers lately held that a wed

free as passengers baggage, on the
ground that this portion of the ward

The Fellow Fever Plague Puts
an Embargo on 347 Ships.
Reports from Santos, Brazil, to
Philadelphia merchant, reveal a sad
story of yellow fever at that import
ant seaport in South America. An
epidemic has been raging there for
months, and the dead have been
piled in trenches of great length. 1t
is claim d that more victims have
been .ept away in and around
Sanh.s than have died in Central
Europe from the cholera plague.
Three hundred and forty-seven
vessels are awaiting their turn to dis
charge valuable cargoes shipped
from all parts of the world, and they
will, it is claimed, be there a year
hence, still waiting to be towed
alongside the discharging berth.
WAITING NINE MONTHS.
Many vessels have been there nine
months with sixty vessels ahead of
them, with their crews dying on
board and in the badly-managed hos
pitfalls. The Philadelphia brigantine
Odorilla, with a cargo of railroad
machinery, which merchandise gen
orally take preference over other
cargoes. arrived on May 25th from
this port, and thus far nothing has
bee landed.

and the greater number of vessels
have received nothing. To the credit
of some shrewd brokers who have an
ironclad demurrage clause in their
charters their demands have been
satisfied.
THE ARGENTA's $4,000 PICK UP.
The bark Argenta, from this port,
received $4,000 for her detention
beyond the discharging days, which
was paid without hesitation.
Captain Bartlett, eff the Argenta,
attended the funerals of fifty-seven
shipmasters who died there of the
fever. Five captains of British
ship died before the vessel left port.

we're enacted, and are still witnessed,

diverging from each other as they
pursued their several courses. Both
comets were visible on their return
in 1852, but they were pale and faded,

Bella comet, a conclusion mquestion-

This, then, is one of the latest con

of fatal adventures Of the same kind,
it has naturally gained a good deal of
credit for the author.
This aeronaut arranged his balloon
and the parachute SO that he could
ascend with the latter wide open. He
accomplished this by making the par

was thus able TO 10 without netting
car or any of the usual apparatus. The
balloon after the parachute had been
attached was inflated nj the Nillette
gas works. The cords OF the parachute
were of the unusual length Of thirty
two metres This enabled the aero
naut to retain all possible freedom Of
movement on his little seat. The top
OF the parachute was provided with n
conical chimney. through which the gas
of the balloon was to be discharged.
The imitation was effected without
accident, except little embarrass-
ment caused by a small storm. Then
the aeronaut rose In view of a great

George Sand lin the Revue DIES DeuN
Mondes, May 10, 1S40) called attention
to a new poem in prose, entitled lie

Two children of Kindred genius
were nourished in that ancient house.
five years before the volume containing
the Journal, letters ana poems Of
Maurice de Guerin was published, the
public had learned to know his sister
Eugene and delight in her wonderful
letters Indeed, Sainte-Beuye thought
her genius equal, if not superior, TO HOY
brothers.; but Matthew Arnold, to
whom the Englsh-speaking world is
indebted for a first introduction 70 the
brother, says: mo one has a more
profound respect for NJ. Sainte-Beuves
critical judgments than | have; but il
seems to me that this particular iudg-
ment needs TO be a little explained
and guarded, In Maurice's special tai
ent, which was a talent for interpreting
nature. for finding words which incon-
parably render the subhleSt impression
which nature makes upon us, which
bring the intimate life of nature Won
derfullv near to us, 1t seems to me that
his sister was by no means his equal.
She never, indeed, expresses herself
without grace and intelligence; but her
words, when she speaks Of the life ana
appearances of nature, are in general
but intellectual signs-they are not,
like her brothers, symbols equivalent
with the thing symbolized.'
Maurice de Guerin died in 1880,
when he was only twenty-nine years
old. Suddenly, in the following year,
when George Sand Introduced his work
to the French reading world, IL was
discovered that a new star had indeed
risen above the horizon. Twenty-Five
