! a HORRIBLE CRIME-One of the most fendish and
dastardly crimes that has within knowl-
edge perperated Wednesday night within half a
square of police headquarters.

the horrible brutality of seven
From what can learn of the shocking affair it
appears Mrs Seller who resides in Jefferson City, and
who had been on visit to friend living here, while
walking along Grod street, between ST. Charles and
Carondelet about half past 10 o'clock was attacked
near the corner of Grod and Carondelet Streets by
seven men, and suddenly thrust into an alley.
The gate closed, she was knocked down, and in
the midst of the binding rain the entire pro-
ceeded to outrage her person.
One brute kept his hand over her mouth to prevent
an ALARM and in the of few minutes she
tainted. Returning her she cried for the po
lice and tine men fed in body.
The unfortunate victim, more dead than alive, made
her wayto the Office where the details of the outrage
were reported.
She remained there during the night returning to her
home this morning. When attacked, she on her
way to the BarOnne street cars.
Some hopes entertained that the wretches will
be arrested and from the of feelings at present.

TIE CHINESE QUESTION.

The curious report from one of the Pr0vin
cial Governors of the Chinese Empire to the
Pekin Regency, which we publish this morn
ing, is evidence, we think, of the Sill
cerity of that hitherto exclusive Govern
ment in protesting readiness to enter into
moro intimate relations with the rest
of the world. "The most important things
ito be regarded" says this official, speak
ing of the revision of treaties with
foreign powers, care good faith and what Is
fright" and he strongly advises the Regent
to purse q frank and straightforward policy,
stating plainly what China can grant
to the rest Of the world, and acting
fairly up to his word. He approves
of admitting embassies from foreign courts
and recognizing the British, French, Americans,
and other great Powers as equal nations, for
"our sacred dynasty" he says, has no desire
"to arrogate to itself the sway over the
Glands within the bOundless oceans, or
"reaure that their ministers should rem
oder homage" He approves also OF
accrediting Chinese ambassadors to foreign
capitals, on the ground of the constant inter
course between China and other countries, and
he anticipates from the beginning already
made in the appointment of the Burlingame
mission a great increase of diplomatic relations.
As for the Christian religion, he believes that
no harm can come of the missionaries labors
and they may safely be admitted and pro-
tected, for they are certain not to make many
converts.
In regard TO the extension Of trade we re-
greet to say that Tsang shows less common
sense, and exposes himself to the wrath and
contempt of the British and American mercan-
tile colony who have so tiercely fallen foul OF
Mr.. Burlingamo. Tsang does not approve OF
steamboats,, railroads. or teegraDhs. And
whatever We may say of his errors on these

1t rather droll to consider bowman of those
who joined in the Humboldt celebration knew
who he was, or could tell, if put upon their oath,
what "The Cosmos" is. We can imagine the
botheration and despair of many who joined in
the festivities. if they were compelled by law
to read that remarkable but rather difficult
work. At Dubuque, Iowa, it is gravely related
that one of the Committee of Arrangements
inquired whether it was certain that Hum
"boldt would arrive, or whether all the fuss
"would MT be for nothing" Probably the idea
of the celebration originated with our German
popul alton, to whom the memory of Humboldt
is dear for the sake of his well known liberal
opinions. 1t was taken up by well-read Amer
leans. As soon as it was ascertained that there
were to be professions, concerts, and beer
drinking, all classes were filled with admira-
ton for the illustrious savant. There is no
harm in all this only it is little funny.

The State Prison seems to be rather sin
gular place TO which to send an insane man.
AT Newport, N. H., on the 10th inst, William
N. Kinney was found not guilty of murder by
reason of insanity, upon which, according to
the report before us, Judge Perley sentenced
"the prisoner to confinement in the State
"Prison until liberated by due course of law"
We do not understand how man found mot
"guilty" could be sentenced at all, and still
less do we understand how lunatic could be
sentenced. Probably there is some technicality
about this matter which is beyond our knowl-
edge; but so many odd things are done with
the mentally diseased in these days, that we
have felt it right to make a note of this case.

War has at length been formally declared

younger branch of the great Prussian family.
His life was an example of the vanity of Grand
Ducal glory, and the uselessness of royal
lineage and consanguinity as an aid to human
happiness. Although holding in various parts
of Germany and Spain the titles-over and over
repeated of Duke, Burgrave, Count, and
Baron, he was unable to bestow single one
of them, or any simpler name belonging to him,
