The total loss is put down at $2,500,000, and (he insurance wall amount from $800,000 to $1,000,000. The time between New Orleans and Yera Onus is to be shortened to two and a half days, by omitting two or three stops of the steamers. This is done to encourage iraffio between Mes>V> and &e United States.

The New York Bulletin loams nprm the best WaHliiugLun authority that the i government will not put in circulation j ! any of the silver coinage, in pursuance of the redemption act, nntil gold has fallen to about 110, as with gold rang ing above that quotation, the coin would be bought up for export. The Rome (Ga.) Commercial states that a merchant of Resaca employs a umber of children to collect bullets from the hard-fougbt field.

A New Orleans correspondent of the New York Times stated that if affairs in Lonisiana become settled, a foreign company, with a capital of $20,000,000, is ready to come and purchase 400.000 or 500,000 aores of land in the state and settle upon the parehase industrious English and German agriculturists. The English aretio expedition is nearly ready to start on the dreary voyage to the north pole. The amount of the appropriation to equip the two vessels was about $500,000. The Swedes are also fitting ont an expedition for the same purpose. There have been thirty-two arotio expeditions, British and American, since 1848. It is not much to the credit of the new Bessemer steamship, which is de signed to prevent sea sickn:ss, that on her recent trial trip between England and France she only made a speed of twenty miles in seven hours. Most people would not object to be a little sea-siok, in crossing the English chan nel, if they make the trip in two hours. Boynton, the swimmer, orossed in a much shorter time than the Bessemer. The imposing oeremony of placing the red hat on the -head of Cardinal MoOloskey, took place in St. Patriok's cathedral, New York, yesterday. The novelty of the event—the first of the kind in this oountry—attraoed a large number of ecclesiastical dignitaries from far an 1 near, and 'probably not one-twentieth of the people who desired to witness the ceremonies were accom modated. The newspapers in California evi dently do not lack faith in the bonanza of silver. “ Our bonanza” is still their theme, and they point with pride to the fact that since January 1, the sum of $2,484,000 has been paid in dividends, all of which was taken out of the ground in two months. This is said to be the yield of the “ consolidated Virginia” mino alone, so there must be "millions in it.” Nukkbous lumber-yards, frame houses, careless use of fire and a high wind did the business for Oshkosh, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.

Last year a sodden conflagra tion licked up six hundred houses and other property worth $800,000. This last oatsstrophe is overwhelming, and much suffering will result. LAUBA BX JOHM a.

There bas been much talk about the great west. There has been much talk about the capacity of it to sustain mil lions and tens of millions of inhabitants. Out of it weie to be manufactured many Btates like Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. This was all very well while the popu lar ignorance prevailed in regard to the region of oountry between western Missouri and Kansas and the Rocky mountains. But late developments have shown us what it is. It is several thousand feet above the sea. It is, therefore, in its latitude very cold. It is treeless, But worst of all, it is de prived of any water irrigation. That is a primary necsssity of life. Without it life cannot exist. These pacific plains, extending from western Kansas to the R-cky mountains, are destituted of it. The inference, .therefore, is that that im mense territory can never be made in habitable to any large extent. It is the great A merican Desert. Some portions of it may be made available, as Colo rado and Nevada, for example, as min ing districts for gold and silver. But in its great extent it is a barren waste. There will be no new Ohio, Indiana or I Illinois west of Missouri and Kansas. This is a fact that should be understood by the people, not only living in the states, but in the territories beyond. What is called the great west is a myth. It is a delusion which is leading tens and hundreds of thousands of people yearly to their destruction. No man in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana or Illinois should leave their fertile f ilains and their advanced civilization or the problematical chances that await them in Idaho and Colorado. The great American Desert lies beyond the Mississippi. It is safe to say that one-third of its expanse, from physical causes, can never be within the reach or the resources of man. Therefore, let the cry of the great west cease. We must go south. There is to be found the best and most pro ductive land on thiB continent. It is to befonnd with great improvements at almost the price of the barren lands in the west sold by the government with out any improvements. Take Virginia, for instanoe: If her old, worn-out lands were agriculturally renovated and improved, she could better support five times the population that she now does, and that is an illnsration of all the sonthern states. This inorease in population in the next fifty years will go south and not west. It is bound to do so by manifest destiny—CSnefnnaff Enquirer. Macready’s Way. In a volume of reminiscences of Mao- ready, the actor, an extract is pnblished from a letter to a friend, in which he describes the method he punned to perfect himself in bis art. A line in the opening of one of the cantos of Dante made a deep impression on . him in sug gesting the dignity of repose. In his practice he adopted all the modes he conld devise to,acquire the power of exoiting himself into the wild°st emo tions of passion, at the same time coeroing his limbs to perfect stillness. He would lie down on tne floor, or stand straight against a wall, or get his arms within a bandage, and so pinioned and .wnfinsd recite the most violent pas sages of "Otheilo," ‘‘Lear,” or " Mac beth.” ‘ He would speak the most pas sionate bursts of rage under the sup posed constraint of whispering them in the ear of him or her to whom they were addressed, thus keeping both voice and gesture in subjection to the real impulse of the feeling. Snoh was Macreaay's process. Now-a-dayB there are scores of powder burners who conld teach him an easier trick to gain the applause of the multitude. —It is said that Gustave Dore is to reoeive $50,000 for a series of designs for a new edition of Shakspeara.
