MISCELLANEOUS. 
Monday, March 15,1SSO. 
On the 13th tnst, the schooner Alaska, Captain 
McKenna, left San Francisco for the Artie seas. 
She went farthest north last year, and was last to 
leave In returning. Papers and correspondence 
have been sent, by her to the commander of the 
Jeannette, which he possibly rnay receive, it Is 
singular that those Interested In the welfare of 
the crews of the Mount Wollaston and Vigilant 
when asking the Government to send a vessel to 
their relief, sent nothing by the Alaska, the first 
outgoing vessel. 
Dennis Kearney and bis followers have caused 
much trouhle In San Francisco for some time past. 
California has adopted a constitution which pro¬ 
hibit* the employment of Chinamen. Moreover, 
the San Francisco Board of Health has pronounced 
Chinatown, that part, of the city occupied by the 
CclestUls, to be. detrimental to the public health. 
On the strength of these facts Kearney has allowed 
his eloquence free flow, advocating Instan¬ 
taneous and violent ejection of the Chinese, 
and Inflaming the workingmen against the bloated 
capitalist. Many times has the city trembled 
under the apprehension of riots and disorders. 
These have, however, been staved off by the firm 
attitude of the better class of citizens. A large 
number of citizens representing the wealth, re¬ 
spect ability, and decency of the city have formed 
an organization styled the Citizens’ Protective 
Union. Their object is to support the constituted 
authorites In maintaining order. Mayor Kalloch, 
who was elected by Kearney’s clique, sympathizes 
strongly with his constituents, but the Protective 
Union threatens him with Impeachment If he 
favora their measures. Thus the matter stands at 
present_The llerald Relief Fuud for the Irish 
famine has now reached the sum of $ 200 .627.75 ... 
On the morning of the 10th lirnt. an elephant was 
born at the winter quartern of Messrs. Cooper, 
Bailey &, Co.'s London Circus, in Philadelphia. It 
is an unusual occurrence for an elephant In cap¬ 
tivity to bring forth young, hence the advent of 
this baby has excited some interest. The baby 
weighs 213 pounds, stands 80 inches high and is 35 
inches long. The mother Is 23 years old_An 
attempt was made to assassinate Mayor Baxter, 
of Louisville, Ky., on the 13th Inst.; he escaped un¬ 
hurt. The would-be aasasslu is a worthless char¬ 
acter named Sam Redd, who had been discharged 
from the street cleaning department for drunken¬ 
ness. He Is now I 11 Jail.... At Middletown, N. Y., 
five women were recently elected school trustees 
... Captain Fads, the famous engineer who has so 
effectually opened the outlets or the Mississippi, 
proposes to build a ship-railway across Central 
America Instead of a canal. He has entertained 
Congress with a long report of Ills plans.... 
The Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com¬ 
pany Is to be consolidated with the company of 
the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Railway. 
General J. H. Pevereux, receiver of the Atlantic 
and Great Western road, will he president, and 
P. I), cooper general superintendent.A none 
sectarian religious organization, named the Salvar 
tlon Army, which was organized In London a few 
years ago, has Rent a division of missionaries to 
this country to light sin and unrighteousness. The 
division consists of one general and seven subordi¬ 
nate officers, the latter being all ladies. Each 
wears a cap with a red velvet band on which the 
words “Salvation Army” are embroidered. They 
have begun work in the New York saloons, and 
have so far met with but Indifferent success. 
Petitions are now being circulated In different 
States and Canada addressed to the Legislature of 
New York and to the Government of the Dominion 
in favor of the International Park at the Niagara. 
Any petition that coals nothing to sign la exceed¬ 
ingly popular.. .A rew months ago a five-cent 
coffee house was opened in San Francisco. A cup 
of coffee and a roll of bread are given for a nickel. 
This institution was so well patronized that 
the other day the fifth establishment of the 
kind was started. These coffee houses are no 
doubt a great benefit te the wandering poor.... 
Recently there has grown up In large cities quite 
a business In cutting Images In Ice for evening 
parties. It. is a big thing on loo. These fee fig¬ 
ures are generally used for holding raw oysters, 
and the oystera have no difficulty about keeping 
cool lu them. Ice dishes are also made for holding 
fruit. In Philadelphia one Ice sculptor uses nearly 
4,000 pounds of ice a week in (his way. He makes 
Atlas with the globe on his bank, the globe being 
hollow to contain the oysters, and charges rrom 
$2 to $5 for this cool mythological gentleman, 
globe and all. A very popular Image Is an ele¬ 
phant with an oyster dish on his hack,

The shipments of live stock and fresh meats from 
the United states to Europe have received a 
sudden Impetus, those of last week being the 
largest m any week for more than a year. The 
steamer Thanemore, which sailed for England 
Saturday, had on beard 540 live cattle, which Is 
the largest shipment of live cattle on any one 
steamer since January 1 . The total shipments 
last week were 1,908 live cattle, 4,3os quarters of 
beet, 1,700 carcasses of mutton, 60 live sheep and 
660 hogs.The many friends ot Wm. J.

nearly two-thirds, Is lu grass, being only a sllghly 
larger proportion than on the small farm area.

The French journal L'lndustree Lailiere, remark¬ 
ed in a recent Isbuc that 1879 will be deservedly 
known aa the “ year of deficits,” The crops appear 
to have been bad nearly everywhere throughout 
France. The yield of wheat was 82,000,000 hecto¬ 
litres (a hectolitre la 2 , 6-6 bushels), the grain being 
generally of a bad quality, while 100,000,000 hecto¬ 
litres are wanted for the ordinary requirements 
of the country. The rye crop Is short by 10 , 000,000 
hectolitres; barley has not been altogether defi¬ 
cient In quantity, but the quality is very poor, 
for It was spoiled by rains, aDd Indian corn 
was badly affected by extremes of wet and 
heat. Oat* alone, of all the cereals In France, 
gave satisfactory returns. Forage crops and pas¬ 
tures were likewise badly Injured. 'The hay 
crop was short, and, from exposure, lost In quali¬ 
ty; ball of the Lucerne crops was never got In- 
Potatoes rotted to the amount of 60 per cent., 
which Is a serlouB hardship to the poor people of 
France, and, Just at this time, especially so. The 
French beet root sugar industry suffered by a de¬ 
ficit of more than 26 per cent, and the vintage of 
the country barely reaches 25 , 000,000 hectolitres 
as against an average of 60 , 000,000 and upwards— 
a result due to phylloxera and frosts of unusual 
duration. The French fruit crop suffered greatly , 
apples, peaches, pears, and plums being ahuust 
altogether wanting. The year 1879 was, as ap¬ 
pears irom the record, as consistent In its disas¬ 
trous effects upon the agriculture of France as In 
England, and to a less extent the same condition 
01 things prevailed In most of continental Europe. 
... .According to the Mark Lane Express of March 
10 , the weather for the previous week had been 
favorable. A considerable area of spring grain 
had been sown early and a favorable seed-time 
seemed likely to be secured. The autuum-aown 
wheat presented a generally satisfactory appear¬ 
ance. as also did the pastures. The offerings or 
home-grown wheat at the country markets were 
generally scanty, fanners having been occupied 
with field work. The imports of foreign were fairly 
liberal. Opinions relat ive to the course of prices 
in the immediate future are pretty equally divided, 
the chief interest centering upon this country 
Very little business wasdone lu wheat for arrival, 
despite the more accommodating disposition of 
American holders. Australian was pretty freely 
offered at reasonable prices. Maize was In very 
limited demand, and unaltered In price. The 
sales of English wheat, last, week wore 29,63<> quar¬ 
ters at44S. 7d. per quarter, against. 44,491 quarters 
at 39s id. per quarter for the corresponding week 
last year. The imports into the United Kingdom 
during the week ending Feb. 23th were 776,134 
hundred weights of wheat and 147,678 hundred 
weights of flour. 
THE EYE-OPENER. 
We have received from our friends In several 
parts or toe country a number or circulars signed. 
N. J. Mayes & Co., Sweetwater, Tenn., offering on 
favorable terms a recipe for making sorghum 
sugar, several kinds of spring wheat, tomatoes, 
corn, etc. From the wording of the circulars arid 
the manner of conducting the business wo sus 
peered the firm to be a humbug, and u letter Just 
received from a thoroughly trustworthy person In 
that neighborhood leaves no doubt about, the cor¬ 
rectness of our surmise. " No such circulars are 
ever sent out In this neighborhood,” our corre¬ 
spondent says, “ and of course the thing Is a hum¬ 
bug.”
