v . . SATIRDAT, APRIL 2, 1S0. From the New York Mall. THE DOWNFALL A Ulanco at the Becllae in Merchandise, Jewelrj, Etc. To tell in general terms that breadstuffs, dry goods, jewelry, or any other of tUo necessities or luxuries of living ure falling in price as gold falls, is to convey but a very vaguo idea to raost people how much that reductioc really is compared with prices three months, a year, or live years a ' ) ; and knowiDg how much inter- . 'cd readers of every class are iust r ow in this decline, wo have taken ?r tie trouble to procure information ciently specific to gratify the geno vtl desire for details such reading, i. fact, can be quite as readily landers' iod by the lady of the house as the lor 1 thereof, with his learned head full of par values and discounts, apr r. imate prices, and so forth. l'rom ail we learn, the downfall of j rises has not waited on the decline ct gold, but in most cases preceded it, the somewhat dull season having male all 8el!er3 anxious torealize. Sterling silver goods aro always -v!latgold rates, the premium of thi day of the hour even being aJied to tho bill oftlio purchaser. Notwithstanding the fact that sinco thj war the wages of employes have teen materially increased doubled, in many instances silverware has r,o5 increased in price. This is to be attributed to the fact that during this time important improvements in macbinery have been effected, with pr-at saving of time and labor. Stcrhn ; silver forks and spoons, staple artic lea of trade, and indicators of the prices of other goods, aro new soli at II 73 per ounce in tfo' J. which is less, even, than the pri je at which they were held in 18G1. A suzar with the grocer, these are ku linc articles in trade coaxers of custom, wa ought to say and the profit made by their sale is not worth tltinsr about. The silver, before rr.auutacture, is worth about $ 1 33 rtr ounce, leaving forty cents for iiinufacture. interest on money in vc-ted and profit of sale. These figures apply to all solid silverware, thi differenc3 per ounce as between the price of one article and another 1 pine made by the greater or lesser amount of labor in their manufacture jjunnar the cast ten years tne im provements in tho manufacture of sil vcr Roods in this country are more caarLed than in other branches of this multifarious business. V e are now ahead of either Franco or England in the manufacture ot articles or daily use, and, and although we do not tmnufacturo artistic work for the market, as they do, we produce occasional articles quite as fioo as they make on the other side. If we do not competo with them in the lighter artistio work in precious metals, it is not that we lack the talent of either design or execution, for we have both raised it and imported a stock of it, but bocause much ot' this work, if not all, is the labor of head and hand solely; and for the servioo of these we pay iiiiuh higher prices. Another leading article illustrative of tha decline is the omnipresent watch, of which wo ha?e got a word to iy. " Out of resp-act to the ladies," as they say on tha ferryboat?, and becnuso wo know how much moro they value timo and money than the degenerate sons of men of the present, we shall begin with their chronomettTZ. Thn watch which in the spring of 1SCD would have cost a hundred dollar1, can now be bought for eightytire. Self-winders, then worth a hundred and eighty, now sell for a hundred and fifty. Ua richer watches, cameled and jeweled cases, the redaction in prices has been in this ratio. A. e'en tie man 'a watch of the cele brated Frodman's mako can now te h.Miirht for $123: in March of last year it was worth $320. A first-class Titlany watch, then worm v-u, now soU for 3; tha geooni grade at :M then worth $213Cold chains for ladies, sold in 1SG9 for SCO. $10) and $120, have been re duced to 130, S3 and $100 respect-! tr, ! v. (jentlemcn'n guard chains, weighing tli'tr pennyweights and of eighteen carat cold, sold at S110 a year ago, can now bo bought for $93. (If iawelrv it is more difficult to convey a clear idea of the importance of the fall than of those goods named, so endless i tho variety, so unlimited tha raog3 of prices; but wo can give Jlisr lDterestmg tacts aDOUt tncni, ' ..fii lanrAtrn tnr evprv-fiav wear. aoM Iflt March lor from $(J5 to $100, can now Lc had (or from $55 to $So, a,ls(on. tho reduction varying as tho ekraent of labor in tho produc tion of the artiolca lessens or in ?r-nscs. Diamond jewelry aro always col 1 for eoH. Those precious gems h v'h been etcadily increasing in prioe i'cr many years, owing to the simple fact that tho quantity ot gold abovo uround is increasing inusn moro rm'wllv than is the ouantity of lii.L.T.rmJ. Tho calculation is that the rate of this advance is an nually about equal to tho interest on their value; in other words, that the diamouds purchased to-day . will bo worth twico a much money .sixteen years hence, provided in tho 'iin time another Uoloonda be not discovered. This increase, however, ao.Hea only to diamonds ol first wa:er; off color-diamonds do not ad vaaco in the same proportion. In a letter just rooeived lroni Amsterdam, tho writer speaking of diamonds, says " that diamonds are dearer and more Jidicult to obtaiu than ever: the ar rivals to Europe of rough diamonds .rira verv small and thev aro held SO liizh that thev arc cuttiog very few in Amsterdam." A lew other quotations and we are done. The ODera g'ass sold a year ao tor $17 50 can now be had for three dollars less; ladies' shopping bags worth $1U to $1G. for $a to $i3 50; dressing rases sold at $25 to $ 100, for $22 to $85. and the higher v )ods at proportionate reduction. Broozcs simply vary with the diff :rence in the price of gold, but as an etample ot the decrease ot pricea we uiav say that a hanusoma mantle set worth $100 last Spring can now bo had for $335. Vienna gilt knick-knacks and Paris elegancies of every kind aro about twenty-five per cent., a fourth lower than the rates of a year ago. And so on with the hundred thousand articles under this head. Wouldbe purchasers need not hesitate to buv at the present prices, need not wait anticipating further reductions, for we believe we state tho simple truth in saving that in many of the

articles wo have named, and many others which wo have not, tho merchants have brought tho price bo low that the further fall in gold can effect them at 1-nst but very slightly.

ATTE-PT TO MTHDEIi a aixsEK PAUTY. The Residence of the Belgian consul at Ean Francisco mown up with Powder Description or the liulns. One of these mysterious occurrences which seem to transpire periodically in this city took place last evening at 1517 Powell street, the residence of Mons. Grisar, tho Belgian Consul at this port, in the form ot a tremen dous explosion. ;v pan ui gentlemen, consisting of Messrs. Lazard, of the firm of Lazard & Freves, Eugene Dewey,-Theodore Lcroy, and three brothers, Raphael, Henry and Sylvan W eill, haJ just arisen irom tne table la the dining room, auu passeu to a house in the rear of the one in which they bad dined, whea they heard a verv leud report, which apparently proceeded from somewhere near them. The house m which they stood shook violently, and they ran into the open air. Smoke was seen issuing from the building they had just left, and as soon as it wa3 thought prudent sever al ventured to enter the place. a ne table in tho dining room which they just left, was moved f rom its place, and the dishes it had held neany an broken. Passing through into tho parlor, every thing it had contained was in a mass or rums. . largo marble-top centre-table was destroyed, tho top being broken into pieces and scattered about the room. Chairs, lounges, etc., lay in a promiscuous hnan near the front of the apartment. and all the glass in this and adjoining houses was totally demolished. In one corner of tho parlor was a large opening, tne noor naving Deen Diown away and tho carpet torn from its Dlace. This was. of course, the sub ject of immediate investigation, and . . . . i- ii tne nrst odjccc noticed explained tne whole occurrence. This was the remains of a corrugated iron powder cannistcr, whicn would hold at least ten pounds of Ihe explosive material. This article was firmly wedged in one corner, and was with difficulty removed. It is of the kind used to store powder in, and was abputUwelye inches in length by four inches in breadth. The force of the explosion had split it in two; the corner was torn off and blown several feet away. The floor of the room was very much damaged and almost unsafe to tread upon all the boards being forced from their position, or broken or split. The portico fronting the house was wholly destroyed by the force of the concussion, the planks composing the flooring of it being, each and every one, blown into tho street or an aa joining garden. As soon as the news ot tee aiiair spread, a large concourse of spectators throosud the street, ea ger to obtain a glance at the damaged premises. Ubiet Urowiey and a party of officers were promptly on hand and prevented any encroachments or undue demonstrations by the crowd. An investigation of the space under tho floor oi the parlor led to the dis coverv ot certain tacts wnicn snow A . " f 1 1 most conclusively that the whole af fair was a premeditated deed. On the wet clay were noticed the imprints of hands and leet. .Near the spot where the canister was found was a quantity or paper, partly ournea, portions of fuse, and several bits of . ... strong cord. The spot in which the canister had been placed was the nearest to the centre of the dining room tablo that could be reached, and shows clearly that tho intention was to murder tho inmates while they sat at the meal. A fact that goes to sup port this theory is that, by good for tune, they happened to leave tne taoie earlier thin usual that evening, and no ono was in the house at tho time of the explosion but a Chinese domestic. Chief Crowley has been unable so far to find any clue to tho perpe trators, and it will probably pass away without tho true cau30 or animus be ing brought to light, although it 13 suspected that Irench politics had something to do with it. Mons. Grisar. the proprietor of tho houee, was expected to arrive in this city to-morrow night oh his return from Paris. TEA STORE. TEA STORE! II. A.

The Responsibilities of the Liver. Tha Hirer has a very Important part to perform In the animal economy, lis function li two-fold. The fluid which It secretes tempers the blood and regulates the boweis, anu upon tue quantity ana quali ty of the secretions depends, In a groat degree, the adaptation of the blood to the requirements of the svstem and the due removal of the refuse matter which remains In the intestines after the wort ol digestion has been accomplished. one of tho principal uses of Hosteller 8 Stomach Bittern is to tone and control this riomewhat unruly organ. The antlblllous properties of the preparation are scarcely secondary to Its virtues as a stomachic. Its operation upon the liver in net violent like that of mercury, but gradual and gentle. Instead of creating a sudden tumult In that sensitive gland, It regulates its action by degrees. Hence, it Is a safe remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremendous excitant, Is not. X he more naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be lestored to lis normal omuiuou the better, and It 13 the peculiar property of this harmless vegetable alterative to relulorce and regulate without exemng or convulsing. The success which has aneuueu ius uo as a remedy for atlections or tne liver is proverbial. Persons of a bilious naou who take it habitually as a protection agaln3t the attacks to which they are constitutionally liable, pronounce It the best liver tonio In existence. The eymptoms of an approaching tLt of biliousness can hardly be mistaken. A pain in the right Bide or under the shoulder blades, a eattioa tinge In the whites of the eyes, sick headache, a feeling of drowsiness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and general debility are among the usual Indications of a morbid condition of the liver, and as soon as they appear the Bitters should be tesorted to in order to ward our more seri ous consequences. Consumption. The Three Remedies. " Schench's Put,uosio SYBUP," for tho cure of Coughs, Cold, Bronchitis, and every form of Con sumption. The peculiar action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt matter by expectoration. Purine's the blood, and thus cures Consumption, when every other remedy falls. "Bcheuck'a Sea-Weed Tonic" for the eure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and a'l diseases arising from debility. This tonio Invigorates the digestive organs, supplies the place of the gastric juice when that la deficient, and then enables the patient to digest the most nutrlclous food. It Is a sovereign remedy for all cases of Indigestion. schenck's Mandrake Pills," one of the most valuable znedloines ever discovered, being a vegetable substitute for calomel, and having all the useful properties ascribed to that mineral, without producing any of Its injurious effects. To these three medicines Dr. J. H Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the Treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pulmonic Byrup ripens the morbid matter, discharges It, and purifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstructions therefrom, give the organ a healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint, which is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. The Boa-Weed Tonio Invigorates the powers of the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion and bringing it to a normal and healthy condition, improves the quality of the blood, by which means the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the lungs becomes impossible. The combined action of hose medicines, as thus explained, w 1 cure every case of Consumption, if the r medles are used in time and the use of the is persevered in sufficiently to bring the ca ,e to a favorable termination.
