'A ttory comes from German that the scrofulous affection under which the Emperor suffers has broken out with a renewed virulence. It is said that the leading medical authorities of Germany give him but ten years of sanity or life. John BCurtis, of Portland, Me., has made $1,000,000, in the manufac ture of "chewing gum. He is said to have more girls working for him than any other man in the country, to say nothing of those whose jaws fire continually grinding the gum. The rage for decoration grows in New. York. Wealthy families leas ing expensive apartments often put many thousands of dollars upon the walls. A tenant with a five years' lease in the Dakota flats has spent $5,000 in decorating the wralls of his apartment. In the event of the European out break Great Britain would be able to send to sea at a month's notice forty fDur battleships and belted cruisers.to cope, in caseof necessity, with France's twenty-three, Russia's fifteen; Germany's twelve or Italy's ten; so that no possible combination of any two of the great powers would place England at a disadvantage.

And yet there are to day men, women and children in Chicago on the verge of starvation. The new disease, alleged to be a successor to the grip and called La Nona, Is said to be a form of the pellagra and to be caused by the use of mildewed corn flour, which is con sumed in North Italy in the shape of polenta. The victims sink into a peaceful sleep and die unconscious instead of sneezing their heads off and living, as in the grip. Victoria Woodhull has issued a circularinLondon denouncingQueen Victoria because she appeared at a recent "drawing room' wearing the great Kbh-i-noor diamond as a brooch and otherwise dressed out like an Indian squaw.

The annual catch of fish on the European and North American coasts is computed by a German 'statistican to amount ro $150,000 tons.. A ton of fish corresponds with t w en tyfive sheep in weight. and with twenty sheep in nourish : iug power. Therefore the total Eu ropean and North .American catch equals in umber42,0Q0,00Q sheep, and in. nourishing power 30,000,000.

St. John's Lodge and Concord Chapter, of this city, propose to dispose of the Masonic Lodge build ing now owned by them and to erect a handsome new structure , in an other part of the city. With this end in view they have, in connec tion with the Y. M. C. A., secured an option onjche P. K. Dickinson prop" erty, corner Front, and Chestnut streets, for $30,000, one-half cash and balance in one, two, three and four years, -with interest. The committee for the lodge and ehnpter consists of Messrs. W. li. Chadbourn and John C. Chase and Dr. W. E. Storm. The property is 140 feet on Front street and 182 feet on Chestnut street and the proposition is that the Y. M. C. A. build on the South em corner of the lot and the Masons on the Northern corner. The build ings, if erected, will both be'hand some, substantial structures, ele. gantly furnished and fitted with all modern conveniences. The option will expire May 21st. To the Unitei-felty Alumni. The Centennial Alumni Reunion at the last Coimnejieement was so refieshing to the hearts of all pres ent, so honorable to the University, and so creditable in its results, that it is clearly essential to the welfare and growth of the institution to have an annual reunion of the Alumni at each Commencement. Feeling the inspiration of that great occasion, the Association unani mously adopted the following reso lutions: 1. That an Alumni Reunion and Banquet shall be held at each Com mencement, and that a committee be appointed to arrange the pro gramme for 1800. 2. That the Alumni Association should have an organic connection with the University and some voice in its management! 3. That a Chair, of History in the University should be endowed, and that a committee of twelve be ap pointed to take steps for its endow ment. The President of the Association. Hon. Walter L. Steele, incompliance with the first of the foregoing reso lutions, appointed the undersigned committee. The Ti ustees fixed Wed nesday of, Commencement week as Alumni Day, and directed the Fa culty to make the necessary ar rangements for its celebration. The Philanthropic Society, to whom be longs the choice of tlie orator to de liver the literary address on that day, is courteously and loyally co operating with the Alumni Asocia tion, and it has united with us in se lecting Col. W. II. S. Uurgwyn as the orator of the day. It gives us a Vory great pleasure to state that Col. Burgwyn has con sented to deliver the address. His subject will lw: "The Necessity of Preserving the Memorials of the Past and of Transmitting to Poster ity a Just and Faithful History of North Carolina."' Historical investigation is occupy ing, just now, more of the thoughts Jand energy of scholar and patriots than almost any other line of study. There i much in the history of our State to excite our admiration, stir our hearts and kindle our love, and there is enough of untruth and of want of fairness in the current and accepted histories of the day to stimulate us to set forth fairly and impartially the history of our State and its people. Please inform us whether you can come, so that we may provide suit able accommodations as to lodging, and make proper arrangement- for the banquet and reception. We beg leave to add, in justice to ourselves and to the occasiou, that the Memorial Volume of the Proceed ing at the Centennial Celebration in has been delayed in its pub lication bv causes beyond our con trol.
