HOSTILE RELATIONS.

Rumors of hostile relations, as
between Prussia and Brazil, have
been current for some time. They
are explained as the outgrowth OF
a tavern brawl, utterly unworthy of
diplomatic notice. 1t appears that
seven or eight Prussian officers, be
ing in a coftee-house at Rio de ia.
neiro, got into quarrel with some
Braxilians. Hard words arose, q
general fight ensued, and the Prus,
SLAMS, having elected their oppo,
nents, went to work and smashed
everything in the house. While
this pastime was in progress the
police arrived. Most unfortunately,
the Prussians resisted the officers Of
the law, more fighting took place,
wounds were given on both sides,
and finally the belligerent foreigners
were captured and taken to prison,
Among them is said to be a neal
relative of Prince Bismarck's, and
the whole business looks very disa-
greeable. A diplomatic correspon.
dence has been exchanged, and the
prisoners have been set at liberty.
But the report from Hamburg that
a German squadron was under or
ders to fit out at Kiel and sail foI
Brazilian waters seems to be con.
firmed, and it is not impossible that
serious complications will arise
from an absurdly Insignificant oc-
casion.

MEXICO.

The latest news from Mexico in.
dicates that the most recent turn OF
fortunes wheel appears to favor the
Juarez government. Diaz is fast
losing the prestige acquired by the
recent victories ofthe revolutionists
and his leading generals, and prom.
inent supporters are deserting his
waning fortunes. The latest news
is from the City of Mexico, and is
most likely inspired by the Jaurea
party; whilst the previous..informa
tion came from the headquarters, Of
the insurgents. Itmay not be re-
liable, or at least may turn out to
be considerably colored by the ad.
herents of the administration. Ii
will be some time before we shall
have perfectly trustworthy news
and in the meantime all is in doubt
If the first rumored victories al
Saltillo, by the insurgents, shall be
confirmed, Juarez may yet have
trouble in restoring order. But after
all Mexican battles are but trifling
affairs hardly more than New
York street fight, and the accounts
Of them are always greatly exagger-
ated.

A HUGE GRIST.

The French courts martial have
ground huge grist, according to
the latest reports. No less than
IA, ,37S persons have been through q
form of trial, and 2,022 have been
convicted and sentenced. Nearly
eight months have passed since the
surrender of the Commune, but that
period has not been long enough to
carry out the revengful policy which
the Government seems to have de.
termined to pursue toward the rev
olutionists of Paris. There must
be yet more courts, it is said, to fin
ish the work which is now in hand,
This spectacle of trying legion Of
men, seriatim, is certainly an unpar-
alleled one in history.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. "A,

A man named NJ. D. Pierce, who
it seems was Sheriff of Fon-du Lac
Co. Wis, was found dead in his
room at the Union Hotel here to-
day, with pistol shot wound in
the left breast and pistol lying on
the floor. A letter to the landlord
was found on the table,, which says
''Do as you please with my remains,
but my wish is that you take my eff
fects and by their sale realize
enough to get me covered up under
the snow and frost. All l want is a
box and hole. l am Sheriff of
Fon-du Lac Co. Wis, and want to
be buried before you communicate

Another letter to his deputy, Robert
Cosgrove, desires him to settle his
affairs as best he can, and to do all
for his wife and babies that is pos
sible. He had been here since the
9th inst Only go cents were founda
among his effects.
Further particulars are received
of the lynching of two desperadoes
near Seneca, Neasha, county, Mis-
souri,, last week. 1t appears that
Louis Swimm, and another despe-
RADIO known as "TeXas Joe" alias
"Buckshire," induced a German,
named Henry Salsman to go two
miles from Prairie City to get some
whisky they had secreted. After
getting out of town they assaulted
him with clubs and left him for dead,
after robbing him of $25 and a
watch. Salsman recovered suffi-
ciently to crawl back to town and
report. the affair. Swimm was az
rested in Seneca by the vigilence
committee, and Buckskin was sub
sequently captured after being shot
three times. Both hung upon tree.
Before their execution Buckskin
confessed having murdered eleven
men during the past year, and the
total booty obtained being only 500.

The purpose is announced of ar
resting Tweed each day on a fresh
indictment, until the entire 15 found
against him shall be completed.
Why not then have new batch
ready? He will have become accus-
toned to it, and feel rather lost with,
out his daily arrest. 1t seems to
us this affair is becoming rather
farcical.

GOLD DISCOVERIES,

The reports of gold discoveries
on the north shore of Lake Superior
are confirmed from various sources,
though it appears probable that
some of the stories in relation to
the richness of the deposits have
been exaggerated-that, for instance,
of gold-bearing quartz worth $4,000
a ton. On the western end and
north shore of Lake Shebandowen,
which is reached by about forty
eight miles of travel over a splendid
government road from the shores of
Lake Superior, well defined veins of
gold-bearing quartz, much of which
is decomposed, have been found and
traced for several miles. These
veins contain, in addition to free
gold, galena, very pure silver glace,
and iron pyrites. The sand in the
streams of this region has been
found to contain gold, but whether
in paying quantities has not yet
been ascertained. The silver min
ing in the region of Thunder Bay
continues immensely productive.
At Silver Islet the quantity of the
silver daily dug out is only limited
by the force the operators are able
to employ, and the supply appears
to be inexhaustible. Other mines
in that region are yielding finely.
The lands in which silver or gold
has been found, extend back from
the lake from fifty to one hundred
miles. One man has purchased 49,
600 acres from the Canadian gov
ernment at one dollar an acre. The
total population in the neighbor-
hood of the mines is about eight
hundred; but in the spring there
will doubtless be an immense rush
of fortune seekers to these remark
able gold and silver fields. The
country is wild and broken, with but
little timber, or soil capable of cul-
tivation.

LOUISVILLE KY, Dec. %.

Yesterday evening Mrs. Charles
Weisert, living on Shelby street,
went to the house of her mother-in.
law, Mrs. Anna Klorner, living in
the suburbs of the city, aged sixty
five, and brought the old lady home
with her to stay day or two. This
afternoon when the old lady started
to 60 home, Mrs. Weisert attacked
her with a hatchet. knocking her on
the floor and mutilating her in a
horrible manner. No cause is
known for the deed. The old lady
will probably die before morning.
Mrs. Weisert was arrested but pre-.
tends to know nothing about the
affair.

are the documents, official cores
pondence, and other evidence on
the part of the United States, max
ing alone seven printed volumes, ,and
the right is reserved to file such ad-
ditional papers as may be consider
ed important. The demand of the
United States is for payment Of
claims of the classes following:
l. The claims for direct losses
from the destruction of vessels and
their cargoes by the insurgent
cruisers.
.. The national expenditure in
the pursuit of these cruisers.
3. Loss in the transfer of the
American commercial marine to the
British flag.
4. The increased rates paid for
insurance on American vessels.
5. The prolongation of the war
and the increased cost to the Uni
ted States in the suppression of the
