Gossips of both genders, give up
the shameful trade of tale.bearing;
don't be the DEVILS bellows any long

season them with the salt of grace
Praise God more and blame neigh,
bore less. Any goose can cackle,any
fly can find out sore place, any
empty barrel can give forth sound,
any brier can tear a mans flesh
No flies will go down your throat il
you keep your mouth shut, and no
evil speaking will come up. Think
much, but say little; be quick at
work and slow at talk; andFabazs ali

China and Great Britain to prevent tho

Something Wrong.

London, Jan. 3l.-The situation does
not tighten any this morning. The Sc
crecy concerning the delay in conclud-
ing the armistice still continues and
will increase the irritation and sus-
picion. There are singular contradic-
tions in official and semi-official state
ments. One from the Porte is that
the Turkish ENJOYS accepted the terms
and concluded peace eight days ago,
since which time nothing official has
been heard from them. The other is
from Russia, and is semi-official, that
everything is all right, but that there
has been delay in the transmission of
results. something is wrong. One ex-
planation that is being received is that
a secret understanding exists between
the Porte and Russia, and that the an
nouncement of an armistice is being
delayed to allow Russia to complete
her military preparations necessary to
carry the agreement into effect. There
has been large and swift concentra-
tion of troops south of the Balkans,
who if negotiations are being made in
good faith are not needed. The great
est secrecy seems to prevail everywhere
at the front, and a good deal of angry
protest is being heard from Austria.

Boston, Jan. 31.-A FIRE broke out
this evening in the fifth story Of the
large six-story brick building at 121
Nedford street, Charleston district,
used for the manufacture of fine furni-
ture by F. W. Holmes & Co. The build
ing was 450 feet long, extending back
200 feet to the Mystic river, and was
filled with furniture, large amount in
the upper stories being finished. A vio-
lent snow storm, with a strong east
wind, delayed the firemen, and the en-
tire building was soon in flames. Three
alarms, followed by a general, were
sounded, and it was only by great effort
that a most disastrous confiagration was
stayed. At 1870 p. m. the fire was
under control. The factory and con-
tents were completely destroyed. to-
gether with eight houses. Some twen-
ty families are homeless and between
400 and 500 workmen thrown out of
employment. The total loss will reach
5000, 900.

Booths Railroad Land Bill.

Washington, Jan. 81 Senator
Booths bill, amendatory of an act of
March 8, 1868, restoring lands to
market along the line of the Pacific
railroads and branches, provides in
substance that where routes have been
changed the lands previously withdrawn
from market shall be restored to entry
and rated at the minimum Government
price, unless the odd numbered sections
have already been patented to the rail-
roads, in which case the even sections
will be rated at $3.50 per acre, and
that where settlers on the even sections
within tracts excluded from grants to
railroads have paid to Government
double the minimum rates, while only
$1.25 shall be charged by Government
for the adjoining odd sections, they or
their heirs shall be allowed to enter an
equal number of acres of any unoccu-
pied lands held at the minimum rate,
or half the amount of their original
entry. If their additional entry is
made upon lands held at double mini
mum rates, the bill also provides that
this right of supplemental entry shall
be assignable.

The House of Commons.

London, Jan. 31-The House of Com
mons was crowded this afternoon by
persons anxious to listen to the debate
on the governments motion for the
supplementary fund.
Mr.. Forster, amid cheers of the
opposition, introduced his amendment
to the vote of credit, declaring that the
House sees no reason for adding to the
peoples burdens by voting additional
supplies. Forster said he saw nothing
in the peace conditions endangering
British interest, and he was convinced
of the absolute necessity Of his amend
ment. The vote demanded by the gov
ernment was unprecedented. If it was
the duty Of the House to vote money
when wanted, it was the duty of the
government to say what it was wanted
for. Forster then arraigned the recent
foreign policy of the government and
declared they were not entitled to this
vote as vote of confidence, and did
not need it for any interest of the
country.
Forster was followed by Mr.. Cross,
who held opposite views. The debate
continued through the evening session
the speakers on both sides being fire.
quently greeted with cheers and shouts
of applause.

The English War Fund.

London, Ian. 3l.-It is reported that
at the Cabinet council yesterday the
party of action gained the ascendant,
and an important ministerial statement
will he made at an early date of the
pending debate, which will alter the
aspect of the situation. If no news
touching the armistice be received be-
fore division is had, the governments IS
majority will probably exceed one hun
dred. The signing of the armistice
would reduce the majority and increase
the bitterness of opposite attack. There
is talk among the radicals of opposing
the money vote by obstructive tactics
in the event of the armistice being con-
cluded. 1t is believed the Home Rulers
will leave the members to their indi-
vidual responsibility.

Service observer at Kitty Hawk, n. c.,
reports to the chief signal officer as fol-
lows:
The steamship Metropolis is stranded
on Currituck beach. three miles south

The chief signal officer ordered one
Of the operators at Kitty Hawk station
to go at once on horseback to the scene

as rapidly as it can be obtained.
The wreck is about twenty miles
north from Kitty Hawk station. The
Metropolis sailed on Tuesday from
Philadelphia for Brazil. She was dis
patched by the contractors for the Ma
deria and Memorea railroad and carried
200 laborers, 800 tons of railroad iron,
and several mails for Brazil. The
steamer was commanded by Capt. An
kers. Paul j. White, formerly chief
engineer of the Lehigh Navigation
company, and James 7. Moore, well
known engineer, were in charge of her
cargo of railroad stores, etc. The wife

London, Jan. 31.-A meeting was
advertized for o'clock this afternoon,
at the Terminus hotel, to protest
against the supplementary vote OF
&c, 900, 600. Long before the adver-
tized hour the hotel and all the ada.
cent streets and open spaces were filled
with crowds, who cheered the govern
ment, sang patriotic songs and held
impromptu meetings in support of the
governments policy. The proprietors
of the hotel called in the police, but the
small squad sent in response to their
request had no effect on the crowd.
Several public rooms in the hotel were
gutted. No attempt was made to hold
an anti.credit meeting.

NEW YORK.


New York, Jan. 81 Postmaster
James has addressed the following tele-
gram to Postmaster General Key:
1.-THE Assistant Treasurer of the
United States at New York, refuses to
receive trade dollars on deposit from
this office, and 1 am therefore compelled
to refuse them from the public, which
causes serious annoyance and complaint.
Please instruct me in regard to the
matter"
The Assistant Treasurer says that the
reason why he refuses to receive the
trade dollar is because it is not legal
lied, and were he to be succeeded and
his accounts closed up, his successor
would unquestionably refuse to counte-
nance any trade dollars which he had
accepted.

WASHINGTON.
Banning's Army Pay-Bill,

Washington, Jan. 31.-The army pay
bill introduced by Gen. Banning, fixes
the annual pay of officers of the army
as follows: The General, S10, 600 year;
Lieut.. General, 5000; Maj. General,
$1,000; Brigadier, So, 600; Colonel, SO, 900;
Lieut.. Colonel, s2,5OO; Major, 80, 900;
Captain tmounted), 81, 800; Captain (not
mounted), $1,000; First Lieutenant
tmountedl, $1,000; First Lieutenant
mot mountedl, 81, 400; Second Lieuten-
ant, (mounted), $1,000; Second Lieu
tenant mot mounted), 81, 900; ordnance
storekeeper, 1000. The second sec
ton makes considerable reductions in
allowances for forage and for rent of
quarters. Section three increases the
monthly pay of non-commissioned Off
GERS as follows: Sergeant Major from
S23 to S34 per month, Quartermaster
Sergeant from S22 to S33; Chief Trum-
peter from S22 to S24; First Sergeant
from S22 to S33; sergeants from SIT to
S24; all cor porals from S15 to 800. The
bill reduces the pay of commissioned
officers, including allowances for quar-
ters, fuel and forage, in round num-
bers, about 81, ,25O,OeO per annum. 1t
increases the total pay of non-commis-
stoned officers about s55, 900 year, but
this will be much more than compen-
sated by the reduction in the number
of these men provided for in Gen. Ban
ning's bill to reorganize the army. The
two bills reduce the cost of the army
between five and six million dollars.
