An Englishman who has been visiting Metz
writes toa London paper A stroll through
the streets of Metz shows many change.
The first thing that must strike any new
conner is the prodigiou> number OF shops
which arc to be let, and the good will Of the
business to be sold. PlacardS with shop to
let or business to he disposed of meet one
ut almost every other door. And should
say that Il good portion of the shops
which are now open are kept by Germans.
All the restaurants, with hardly an exception.
have Rcstuwation,' and often Ven IND
Bier.' too. added to their French titles.
Many shops, notably cigar and book shops,
are wholly German. and are Kept
bv German owners. No one can doubt
that the French trading GLASSES are
cmigratine largely from Metz. Had
one not already known that this was
the case. one could guess that it was by
seeing in Nancy numbers of shops with
from Metz after their tenants names. And
the spirit of the people: Well. there is no
use denying it, the people do not seem at all
inclined to turn good Germans. had seen
GOOD deal of hatred Of the Teuton on my
way through the occupied departments. But
il was as nothing compared with the abso-
lutte horror of the conqueror which is shown
by the middle classes in Metz. They are eN-
tremelv ostentatiolls i'll their patriotism,
which they seem to think is best shown by
slaring ut every one whom they fancy to be
a German, and giving the Germans the cold
shoulder in every possible way. l am
told that, as might be expected, none
of the German officers here are adj
mittcd into French society; and that
if by chance an inhabitant Of Metz finds
himself in the same room with German he
instantly leaves it, and never puts his foot III
the house again. All the attempts OF the
Germans to bridge over the great gulf which
yawns between the two nationalltlcS have
hitherto failed completely on the admission
of the victors themselves. 1t is the delight
of the inhabitants on days when one of tho
German military bands is expected to play
on the ESplanadc-the Rotten Row o.
Metz-to crowd round the orchcstrs
previous to the arrival Of the musicians
and then, directly the band strikes up
to dispense in every direction, leaving
| the Prussian officers, their wives and friend:
alone in their glory. Every Frenchlnan il
Metz tellS'you, with patriotic delight, how the
tri-color flag is still fixed to the top Of the CD
thedral spire, and how the Germans have
offered unayalingly large sums TO any one
who will remove it. 1t should he noted III
passing that the said flag is so small as to be
only Just visible to the naked eye, and SO
exceedingly dirty that no one can tell, eX.
ccpt with eyes enlightened with patriotic
faith, whether it be the flag of France, Prlls-
| sin, OF Timbuctoo."

The Pittsburg Gazette tells this: "One of
our policemen observed an individual stand
ing in the doorway of a store. Approaching
him, he requested him to move on, and as
the stranger did not immediately start he
asked him his name. The stranger did not
reply, but took his hands out of his pockets
and put them up in front Of the policeman's
face. In an instant the officer grabbed the
culprit, and with considerable difficulty sue
ceeded in carrying him to the station-house,
placing him before the lieutenant in charge
In reply to an inquiry from the lieutenant.
the officer related what had taken place, and
also stated that the culprit had attempted to
strike him with his fists. The lieutenant then
asked the stranger what he had to say to the
charge. The stranger did not speak word,
but instead took out a slate and pencil and
wrote, Il am deaf mute; have been to the
deaf mute reiinion at the - Hotel, and
stood in the doorway waiting for horsc-car
to carry me home.' Perhaps the officer did
not feel streaked amidst The laughs and jccrs
of his brother officers

HORRIBLE AFFAIR IN Otis, MAss.-A MAN
Friday evening last at Otis, Mass, there oc-

of "fooling" with firearms and pointing
them at people sin sport" The foolishnesS
of such acts is beyond the power of words

in death In hundreds of cases. This particu-
lar case of this criminal folly was one Philo
Clark's. He had Il gun in his hand. lie says
he had cleaned it out with water, and sup
posed 1t to be empty. His sister, Mrs.
Ellen Turner, who had come into her bro
TIERS house with her husband and her lit
tie daughter to make call, sat near by
with her husband. Clark was talking with
them, and held his gun in his hand. The
little girl asked what he was going to do
with it. "Shoot your mother" said he, and
pointed the gun at her head. ".Takc good
aim, Philo, said the lady; and her daugh-
ter ran and clasped her arms around her
mothers neck. The next moment Clark

injuring the little girls arm SO that amputa-
ton will be necessary. HE had 10 evil in
tentloDs, being on the best Of terms with
Mrs. Turner, and is overwhelmed with
grief" He is a steady, industrious man, in
the employ Of the Gold Spring Iron Com
pany. Mrs. Turner was only twenty-five
years of age, and her daughter is six. The
event occasions great excitement in Otis.

just ARRIVED.

At that old and well known saloon,
named the Magnolia, kept by Gaige l.
May, there arrived on yesterday heavy
invoice of the choicest wines, whisky's,
champagne and ale for the use of their
bar. The Magnolia is one of the Oldest
and best known saloons in town, and
strange to say in all the changes of pro-
prietors it has passed through in the last
ten years, it has always been kept as a
first class house, But it was never better
kept or in better hands than now. The
proprietors always keep the best liquors
that can be had, and look to the comfort
of their customers. For those who would
sport they will find the live tiger in his
den in the rear. And while the anna
tuers play at billiards, there are chairs
enough for all to sit by and watch the
game, and for the lonely man, if it is
cold the stove is always hot. He can get
the best of liquid warmth at the bar; can
sit in chair and read all the papers,
by the most brilliant gas light

EMPIRE MINING COMPANY.

This company is pushing the work of
developing their mine as fast as possible.
The trustees have let contract to RIM a
tunnel to the ledge distance of o. feet.
The contractors have been at work but a
short time and are now in 100 feet. The
ore from this mine is argentiferous gale
ma, and will not work Nv the ordinary
mill process, and in order to test its value
more satisfactorily, they pr pose as soon
as the railroad is open for business, to
ship fifty tons to the Auburn mill at
Reno, for reduction. We are satisfied
their rock will pay well could it be work
ed at home, and in mill of their own,
but the experiment of shipping it SO far
and paying thirty dollars per ton for
working, may not prove remunerative to
the owners. But the trial is worth maxi
ing, as establishing beyond a donbt the
real value of their ore, and will form
basis for future operations

COMMITTED SUICIDE,

Yesterday morning Chinaman was
found dead in his room in Chinatown.
As near as We can learn, the facts of the
case are these: His name was All Ye; he
had been sick for a day or two, and had
financial difficulties; whether he had lost
IN stock or at the China tiger, We could
not learn. At any rate he took too much
opium, and was found dead in the morn
ing. No Coroner's jury sat ON the body,
because it is as lawful here for a person
to die of opium or strychnine. as whisky
or any other medicine His friends
buried him at four o'clock yesterday, with
the usual Oriental ceremonies The
fashion of suiciding is not confined to
the superior race. Our Celestial popula-
ton seem to have their troubles. financial
and social, and take the short route to
end them; and we expect soon to hear of
Indians and dogs following the noble ex-
ample OF SO many whites, and leave their
country for their country's good.

MEXICAN MILL.-This is one of the
first mills built in this county, and the
building is very much larger than is
needed now, under the present manage
ment. The mill was formerly run by
both steam and water power, and con-
tanned all the new inventions, and So
called improvements of the day. In the
palny days of the Mexican mine, money
was no object, and their mill was the pet
toy of the mine owners; but as the rich
ore of this mine became exhausted this
mill was found to be too expensive q lux
ury, and was sold to Mr. Sharon. He
placed it in the hands of Mr.. S. Fountain
who thoroughly overhauled aud made this
one of the best mills in the State. 1t is
now run entirely by water from the Car
son river, which has a fall of twenty
eight feet, and uses one of Laffelles Tur-
bine wheels. This mill has forty heavy
stamps, twenty pans, ten settlers, and a
working capacity of one hundred and
twenty tons per day. It was overhauled.
enlarged, and repaired last wear, by Mr..
Lockwood. It is now owned by Hon. J
p. Jones, and is under the able manage
ment of Mr.. Lyman who is not in posi-
ton throug b favoritism, but has worked
his way up from a battery feeder, to be
one of the best and most competent Su-
on the coast. =.
