PARAGUAY.
PARIS, Jan. 6.-Later advices have been re-
ceived from Paraguay. War news meagre and
unimporJant.
Mr.. Mcmahon, American Minister to Para

to the American flag having been guaranteed.
SPAIN.
MADRID, JAN 6.-There have been quite for
midabe Republican demonstrations at Seville
and Jeres de Lafontra. At the latter city the
insurgents made futile attempt to seize arms
and ammunition from the arsenal. Gen. Ca

force of soldiers to hold the town and remove
the arms to Cadiz for safety.
A proclamation has been issued raising the
state of siege of Madrid. Gen. Prim, in an Of
fetal circular, declares that the provisional
government does not intend to disarm the vol
unteers.
Senior Sagosta, the Minister of the Interior,
has issued circular in which he ascribes the
recent troubles in Cadiz and Malaga to the in

Ramarks-There is firm feeling for domestic
Wool, but the market has been comparatively quiet
since the new year. The demand for ', DOL in De-
cember better than during the previous months,
but confined generally to the low and medium quo
tations of fleece and pulled. better inquiry for
the finer grades is expected this month and in Feb
ruary. For California and Texas Woods the demand
has also improved, and prices are quite firm. The
stock may be considered light. Fine foreign Woods
neglected, but as the stocks not considered
large and but little prospect of there being repish
ed by importations it is supposed that the pres
ent supply will be worked off before another season
is over. Low foreign Woods continue in moderate
demand. The market is getting rare of certain
kinds required for filling yarns and blanket purposes
The stock in the hands OF the manufacturers is
duced to very low figure and it is established
fact that the article will not 60 lower, there is
disposition their part to repenish their supplies
The stock in the country is known to be smaller than
aths period for ten years past, and it appears
certain that the remainder of the clip will go into
consumption at higher prices than now prevail.

Dispatches to Evening Papers.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The Times Washing
ton dispatch says it has been stated that the
tariff bill, now in committee of the whole in
the House, will be withdrawn and referred to
the Committee on Ways and Means for revis-
ion 1t is not probable this will be done. The
friends of the tariff do not want it done, be
cause of the delay which will ensue to it's
damage Its opponents think it can be defeat
ed more easily by loading it with Objectionable
amendments and by fostering the hostility of
rival interests which demand protection. In
any event it will have hard work to pass both
Houses and the gauntlet of Andrew john
sons veto before the 4th of March next.

nIaC0uRAGING STATE OF AEEAIRs

New YORK, Jan. 6.-Private advices from
the City of Mexico concur in representing the
condition of affairs in the Republic as most
discouraging. Maximilian's invasion seems to
have resulted in political blight that leaves
very little hope for the future of the country.
There is no respect for law, and the civil au-
thority is both corrupt and powerless. The
national exchequer is bankrupt and toe adj
ministration of Juarez impotent to correct
abuses. From all parts of the interior ac-
counts show no safety for life and property
The impression is gaining ground among all
classes, that the only hope for Mexico is to be
found in the United States, and protectorate
with view to future annexation is spoken of
with increasing favor. 1t was believed Gen.
Grant would inaugurate a policy of this kind
on his elevation to power.

A Practical SUGGESTION. - Miss
Dickinson in her lecture on Wednesday
night dwelt with great force upon the
necessity of bringing up girls to some
occupation by which they can earn a
livelihood. We have never heard the
case put more cogently or illustrated
more happily. She several times praised
in high terms the generosity and mag
namimity of our San Francisco repre-
sentative men. We should like to see
her put these qualities of theirs to the
test. Ia New York Peter Cooper found
ed a noble institute where gratuitous
instruction is given to girls in any art
or study which they wish to acquire.
This institute has done world of good
and has earned the blessings of thous-
ands for its founder. IL was the work
of one noble man. Now let Miss Dick
iuson endeavor to interest our" gener-
Gus and magpanimous merchants and
in similar work. Should
she succeed she will leave behind her,
when she returns home, lasting me
mortal in her honor.-S. r Chronicle.
