FOREIGN Notes.

MFR. l.. j. Jennings observes that it
is not in the blood of the English peo-
pie to be polite, but their bearishness,
he remarks with equal truth, is chiefly
on the surface.
Don Carlos was obliged to leave
Paris and taSe up his residence in Bel
gium or Switzerland, in consequence of
an official notice from the French Gov
ernment that his absence would be ap-
preciated.
The Princess Salm-Salm has taken
for q second husband a tall English ex-
Secretary of Legation, the younger son
of lord. A Prussian Embassador at
tended the wedding breakfast, the EN-
peror William sent congratulatory
telegram, and a choice band of Jenkinses
fiuttered round the scene.
"A rich widow, living in London, has
taken to initiating the Queen, and does
it quite successfully. Her carriage is
of the same peculiar build as the
Queens; horses of the same shade and
height, driven by positions in mourn
ing livery, like her Majesty's; and, as
she continues the resemblance in her
own attitude and dress, she not unfre-
quently deceives the faithful subject.
Prince Bismarck would have made
his fortune as an interviewer in the
press. Writing to his wife from water
ing-place, he says: "Opposite me (at
the table d'hete) sits the old Minister
=, one of those figures that appear
to us in Nightmares, a big frog without
legs, who, at every bite, opens his
mouth like a carpet-bag, from ear to
ear. SO that |, in fainting state, have
to cling to the table. My other neigh
Dor is Russian officer, decent young
fellow, built like a boot-jack, long,
thin body, and stumpy, handy legs"
Marshal Bazaine is now residing
with his wife and children at Llanes, q
little village of the Asturias, where the
Count de Mendoza Cortina has offered
him hospitality. This gentleman is
proprietor of the mines of St. Louis de
Potosi, in Mexico, and it is through him
that the mother-in-law of the Marshal
receives the revenue from her Mexican
estates. Bazaine has no fortune. and
that of his wife was completely absorb
ed by the expenses of his trial, which
the French Government vigorously ex-
acted, even to the extent of seizing a
clock of the Marshal and pair of mis-
pantaloons to meet the balance due.

pOlntment or Federal supervisors OF EieC-
tons in that city, was presented to Judge
Treat on the 23d, and by him referred to
Judge Dillon, with instructions to make the
appointments asked for by the petitioners.
The Court therefore appointed Mr.. E. T..
Allen Chief Supervisor for the District, and
instructed him to report to the Court the
names Of Supervisors for the respective dis
tricts. Col. Broadhead opposed the grant
ing of the petition in an argument of some
length, in which he took the ground that
the law under which the Court proposed
to act was unconstitutional, and in evasion OF
the rights guaranteed to every State.
There is disagreement between the two
parties in Colorado as to whether the recent
election for Congressman in that State was
for the rnexpired torn in the Forty fourth
Congress only, or for both that and the full
term of the Forty fifth Congress. The Re-
publicars claim the latter to be the case,
while the Democrats hold that there is no
law to warrant the election of Representa-
tive for more than one term at one election.
The Democratic State Committee, in this
view of the case, has issued a call for all
Democrats to vote for a Representative of
the Forty-fifth Congress on the 7th Of No
vember, and will contest Belford's right to
a seat after the expiration Of his present
term. The Republicans will take no part
in the election, relying upon the legality of
their claims for both terms.

Petroleum is now found in Cali
fornia, and the time may not be far
distant when, with increased demand
and higher prices, the working of that
source may pay very well, but at pres
ent would not be remunerative. Whilst
in Pennsylvania the boring must be car
ried to a depth of from 1900 to 1000
feet, one has in California canals or
veins from so to 100 feet long, in which
the oil collects by trickling out 1rom the
clefts in the rocks.
Fall River, Mass, from small be-
ginnings has rapidly increased in man
ufactures until it has become Il formi-
dable rival of Lowell, notwithstanding
its deficiency of water power. Indeed,
this cheap worker of nature has been
almost everywhere superseded by the
more trustworthy agency of steam.
Winter puts an icy blockade sometimes
upon the rivers, and summer exhales
them to the skies, but no vicissitudes
like these affect the steam engine, which
only asks for its allowance of fuel food
and then accomplishes its work without
grumbling or strike.

r. M. Wallace, United States Marshal
for South Carolina, has made an official re-
port to Attorney General Taft concerning
the recent troubles at Cainhoy,
S. c. He says that white man
fired the first shot, which killed a
c0lored man. The negroes then
opened fire and drove the white men away,
killing six of their opponents and wounding
several others. It is not known that more
than one colored man was injured.

considered fatal.
DIR. Julius S. Thebaud, well
known New York physician, was RAM
ming a charge into a cartridge when an
explosion occurred, and large piece
of the cartridge was driven into his
body and lodged between the heart and
left lung, causing death in few hours.
DR.. Thebaud was preparing to 60 on q

dent occurred.
John Howard. an old citizen of
Rochester, Mimi, was fatally shot on the
night of the 18th. A son of Mr.. How
ard and a man named Mayo were
watching the stables against horse
thieves, unknown to Howard, who,
hearing a noise in the barn, went there
about midnight, and was shot by mis-
take by Mayo, who took him for a rob-
ber.
AT Moline, H., the other day, q
young man named Pauison foolishlv
pointed a gun at a young lady named
Miss Minnie Carr, in order to frighten
her. The gun proved TO be loaded, and
Miss Carr received terrible wound in
the right arm. The young couple were
said to be atfianced lovers, and the
young man was naturally quite dis
traught over the sad result of his fool
ishness.

WASHINGTON.

A Washington dispatch says the presenta-
tion of the address from Ireland to Presi-
dent Grant, through Messrs. O'Connor,
Power and Parnell, members of Parlia-
ment, has been deferred. Power and Par
nell have been informed that, according to
etiquette, the resolutions will have to
come through the British Minister
here and the State Department to the
President. An obstacle has been found to
the success of the first step in the wording
of certain parts of the resolutions. One part
cites that, 'having suffered through seven
centuries of tyranny, the Irish people make
their greetings to the United States
and its President etc. This can
not, 1t is contended, be passed by without
an act of disrespect on the part of President
Grant to her Majesty's representative. The
resolutions are magnificent evidences of art
and taste, appearing like plate Of purest
alabaster, inlaid with mosaic. They are
left in one of the rooms of the White House.
The President has approved the commits
sion of VIM. T. Hughes, of Illinois, to be
Agent for the Indians at Green River and
Standing Rock Agencies, Dakota.
Col. Elmer Z. Washburne, ,chief OF Treas
ury detectives, has been requested to resign,
according to a Washington dispatch. No
cause assigned.
A decision of general interest to the hold
ers of life-insurance policies has recently
been rendered by the United States Supreme
Court. The suits in question were those of
policy holders residing in Mississippi dur
ing the war, and who were debarred by the
War from remitting their annual premiums
against Northern companies, and the Court
held that the companies could lawfully de-
clare such policies forfeited by reason OF
non-payment, but the assured were entitled
to the equitable value of the policies arising
from premiums actually paid, this equita-
BILE value being the difference between the
cost Of new policy and the present value
of premiums yet to be paid on the forfeited
policy at the time of the forfeiture.
President Grant has issued a proclama-
tion, designating Thursday, Nov. 30, as
day for national Thanksgiving and prayer.

PACIFIC COAST.

UMATILLA, March. 1.-The scow be-
longing to Grant & Stone, engaged in
removing distractions and widening the
channel at Umatilla, rapids was blown
up this morning at II o'clock. The re-
port of the explosion was heard several
miles from the scene of the accident,
portions of wreck were scattered in every
direction. Nothing definite is known as
to the cause of the explosion. Some
say the boiler exploded and others that
the accident was occasional by the
igniting of package of giant powder,
which was slowed too near the furnace.
All news from wreck yet received is
very indefinite and unsatisfactory. 1t is
quite evident the loss Of life is very
heavy. So far as known one man was
killed outright. two wounded so that
they will not recover, and twelve missing
probably blown into the river and
| drowned.
Later-Ths following are the names
of the missing men: Connolly, Hanson.
Mangan, Sullivan. Fogg, Kruss. Hath
away, Bryder, McWalley. Watty, Ten
brook, Newell and McCabe. The ex-
plosion was so terrific it shook the build

boat was blown into pieces and is o
complete wreck. As yet McCabe's body
has not been recovered.

left, the south wall Of the burned work

The Charitable Meeting.

The meeting for the purpose of arrang-
ing affairs for the benef. of the patients
at the County Hospital, which nu-
merous citizens promised to attend and
which should have taken place yesterday
at y o'clock, was postponed until the
death Of one of the patients out in that
institution shall prove beyond doubt
there is any real necessity for such
meeting. No one believes there is any
downright necessity for any public steps
to be taken in the matter at present.
Allow the patients say from five to seven
days to linger along without any food or
attention. and if they do not get well I'M
der that treatment then charitable
meeting will be held and few whole
some tracts and sermons delivered to
them, which will surely have the effect
of curing them. Three persons attended
the meeting for the relief of the inmates
of the Hospital, and as matter of course
nothing was done. 1t will take just two
hundred dollars in coin to run it month
with six patients, 80 the public can form
some idea OF what is necessary. II the
parties who promised to stand in aud
help the institution along intend to do it
they really ought to waste no time. II
aid is needed from the public the public
should sustain them.
