"In my opinion it will he Impossible for the :ru.-t to maintain a control of the Calcutta juie supply. I was approached this spring by a leading st, l.ouis merchant, a warm personid friend of mine, who urged upon me the necessity of going into the jute-baggimr combine, stating that I could not hope to light it successfully, as it pra tically hail cotrol of the situation on hoih shies, meaning tiiat the trust could at any time corner both the jute supply and the bugging market. This ] deny, anil anticipate that the result of the coining season will suppoit my position. The Calcutta jute output is about bales, of which about I,lt>'i,0ill bales are used In Calcutta, ami nbout -0 per cent, of the entire output is jute butts. To buy up ibe output each season would compel the trust to roll up a steadily increasing stock of jute, iliat would require the wealth of a Vamlerhilt to carry in the i-ourse of a few seasons.

V? jfeagMjjjgda ? i ri^wtMi n~r.**~* | The Eiffel Tower Struck by Lfglitniug* A few days since the tall tower was, during a storm, hit by a thunderbolt, and many sensational stories have been circulated in reference to the occur- * rence. .Some reports spoke of the lightning rod having been melted into a ball, others of a shower of molten imn dropping on the bystanders, and, again, others had wonderful tales of sheet ii^hlnin^andelectricshocks. In <-c>ii!$e<|Ucnee the shares at the Bourse went down GOf. in one day, a result probably showing the "true inward* noss'f of the canards. At the last sitting of the Ac: demy of Sciences, M. Mascart gave the true account of the incident, tor accident there was none. ' ' The tower ton is nrotected bv three lightning rods, one vertical on the ".-i highest point and two oblique ones a little below, on the belvedere sides. 8nniu time since, it seems, the end of the topmost rod was noticed to be slightly shaky, and as the piece wetghs several kilogrammes, it was thought prudent to tuke it down for repairs, while the iron nut serving, to hold it, screwed fast to the lower half, was left in place, It is this nut which was mistaken l'or a ball of melted iron. On examining it afterward, it was found indeed that some particles had been struck oft' by the fluid, as when steel is struck with a flint, and to a like phenomenon the flying sparks may be attributed, but no appreciable portion of ihe metal was melted off* While ihe storm was at its highest, aigrettes of light kept issuing from the three rods, and the keepers were surrounded with a luminous haze. They were startled by the loud report when lightning struck the rod, hue neither then nor at any time did they experience any shock. No harm befel any one on the tower at the time, and none can happen from thunderstorms, the conductibility being practically perfect.? Scicii/ijlc American. A Novel End of a Church. Our Southern Preobterian elder and friend, Dr. J. N. Spencer, of this city, told us,the following: Arriving at Pigeon Cove, a summering place in Massachusetts, Saturday evening, Sunday morning he inquired of the laudlord asto the churches and their relative iiositinn. The landlord infnrmfid him ihilt Universalists at one time had the largest membership and finest church now they had neither preaching, congregation nor membership, and their elegant house was closed. It happened on this wise: At the close of the civil war the church and congregation were greatly distressed as to what was to be done with the Southern rebels, as they were pleased to call them. They called a council, and agitated and discussed the subject and could arrive at no re-s suit. They appointed a committee to wait on their pastor and he could give them 110 relief, and they determined, congregation, membership and all to disband, as they would have nothing to do with a church that could not supply a hell for the Southern people. Sax Fkancisco, Oct. 26.?The Associated Press correspondent at Apia, Samoa, under date of October 9, conlinns the report of the election of Mataafa as King of Samoa by the chiefs of the various districts. It was expressly provided that Mataafa should serve as King only until the agreement entered into by the three foreign powers should go into effectl'hcn, if necessary, a new election would be held. Tamasese's followers did not signify their assent to the election. The correspondent states that a j number of Tamasese's followers on i he island of Savaaii made an attack on some of Mataafa's followers. Maaafa's chiefs decided to punish them ?'->? rktt.4 1 Art 1 i"l 11U3 iiuwuu, auu ji\/u iraiiivio a< m Apia on October 10 for Savaaii. The departure of the warriors for Savaaii makes certain that a battle occurred on that island, as reported in the cable dispatches yesterday. An ocean traveler finds many dis comforts abourd ships, but can generally count on fresh and pure air at any rale. Not always, however, it seems ; for a Gentian steamer that recently crossed-the Atlantic reported that while some hundreds or miles from any land she passed through clouds of dust, which fell thickly on deck. Strange as it may seem, scientific men tell us that such phenomena have frequently been noticed, and the dust has Muuetimes been so dense that vessels have run ashore in the obscurity of the atmosphere. It is supposed to be car- . rial by high winds from the vast deserts of Africa. A Pittsburg police official tells how the bright lights of that city tend to prevent crime. He says that on every street wh re the arcs are put there is . . not a nook or corner that cannot be easily looked into, and that all kinds if suspicious persons are fighting shy of their once dark haunts; that so thoroughly do those who love darkness i t..in IhiJq thiiuo lunina thflt".

At the close of June there were twentythree crematories in Italy, ten In America, one in Germany, one in England,one in France, one in Switzerland, one in Denmark and one in Sweden?a total of thirty-nine.
