Infammable material naturally abounds
in the city of Quebec, and when such vigor-
Gus specimens of it's humanity as the Irish
men and the French Canadians employed
in ship labor quarrel among themselves as
10 the true method of remedying their
grievances against capital, and proceed to
settle their differences with guns, pistols
and boat hooks. the wonder is not that three
or four are killed but how it is that the
mortality is not very much greater. In the
pursuit of the rights of labor all these men
were short time ago acting together in one
trade union organization, but the Canadians
believed that they were not properly treated
by their associates and formed a separate
society to take care Of themselves, and the
Irish seem to have regarded this fact rs an
evidence that their late associates meant to
surrender q common cause. Hence, when the
Canadians turned out two thousand strong
and marched through street peopled by the
Others, this fact was accepted as a challenge,
and desperate fight followed. AS the
Mayor has only forty policemen with which
to keep order the case passed entirely out
of his jurisdiction, and state of civil war
ensued, in which the mob had possession
OF the city and plundered the gunshops,
hardware establishments and similar deposit
tories OF edged tools. BY to-day the city
will no doubt be occupied by troops If the
trouble continues.

sad Ahlicticn for General Grant,
The sad news was received at an early
hour this morning of the death OF Mrs.
Sartoris, more Familiarity known as nellie
Grant" the favorite daughter OF our hon
ored ex-President. The event Is one that
will carry sorrow into many household OF
the land where she was known and beloved
for her gentle ways and womanly virtues.
The great heart of the people Of the United
States will likewise throb in sympathy with
her distinguished father, who while enjoy
ing distinctions such as have never been
bestowed upon any other American has
been overtaken by this sudden bereave-
ment In few more weeks he would
probably have clasped her in his
arms, but mysterious Providence
has ordered otherwise, and he will
return home to find the family circle
broken and the hearthstone cold. The
tidings will reach him in the midst OF
the pomp and ceremony of distant
lands and while our own people
are proudly watching his career
and glorying in the honor of which he is
the recipient, but he will turn his eyes
homeward full of tears and the memory OF
his dead loved one will overshadow all the
pleasure OF his long and eventful journey.

In to-day's HERALD will be found somo
details of the projected international Con-
vention OF Jews to be held in Paris in Sep
TENDER next. That will be in some respects
the most remarkable of all the international
conventions lately proposed or held. 1t
will draw its intelligence from wider
range and will represent more countries
and more peoples than any body ever as
sembled Tor deliberation on the interests Of
u common creed. Our list OF delegates
given to-day is necessarily incomplete, as it
only names those from countries in Eu-
rope, one country in Africa and from the
United States. Jews all over the two
American continents, as well MS in different
parts Of Asia, will doubtless be represented
also.

The WEATuER.-The disturbance that was
organizing in the Gulf, and to which attention
was called several times, has moved northward
and is now over the Gulf and South Atlantic
States. The pressure rose quickly in the New
En- gland aud Middle Atlantic districts when the
depression passed into the ocean oil the coast of
Nova Scotia, and il is now very much above the
mean throughout all the northern sections of
tile country, particularly over the upper lakes.
Rain fell in the central valleys, lake regions
and on the Gulf coast. 1t was heaviest in the
first mentioned districts. The weather was fair
in the Northwest and the South Atlantic States
The temperature has fallen in nearly every por-
ton Of the country, except on the South Allan
tic coast, where a decided rise occurred. The
winds have been from fresh to brisk over the
lakes and in the central valleys, increasing in
some sections to high from local causes, and gem
orally light in the other districts. The disturbance

ances and possibly toInadoes will be experienced
over the South Atlantic States during the next
few days. The temperature will fall rapidly rs
soon the disturbance leaves the coast. The
weather over the British Islands is fine ut nearly
all the stations. The weather in New York and
its vicinity today will be cool and cloudy, pos
sibly with rains. Tomorrow it will be colder
and partly cloudy, with showers, followed by
clearing

By the South American news us found in
a Callao journal Of the Odd ult. we have to-
day the report that certain Colonel
Fisher, presumably citizen of the United
States, had reached Lima and proceeded
thence to Chile on an exceedingly i'm
portant mission. He is described as
bearer of dispatches from our gov
eminent to the governments respec-
lively of the two belligerent Powers,
and the contents of his dispatches are even
described rs rendering the mediation of the
United States in the pending war. This is,
we believe, the first the public has heard
Of this mission, which is an unusual cir
cumstance. 1t is also little unusual for
the contents Of dispatches to foreign gov
ernments to be made known by the bearer
before they are delivered to those to whom
they are addressed. These, however, may
be only accidents and the mission be just
what it is said to be. We trust it is. 1t
would be handsome and characteristic
proceeding for our governm ent to take this
step, and one likely to have good results.

Grant in China.

In the letter from Tientsin which we
eral Grant continues his report of the ex-
tremely interesting conversations with
Chinese officials upon the subject of the
mediation in regard to the quarrel about
Loochoo. The conversation with Lii
Hung Chang, reported to-day, presents the
Chinese claim to those islands, but, hap
PLY, is not restricted to that subject. On
the contrary, it touches points that will
be regarded as OF tar greater interest
on this side of the Pacific Ocean. The
Generals plain and vigorous expressions Of
opinion on the subject of the Chinese dit
fculty in California and on the Pacific
coast generally, his views of how the diff
Guilty may be overcome and of what the
Chinese government may do in that direc-
ton are worthy of attention, as they pre-
sent very directly the results of sound
judgment on case of general interest.
Perhaps the Generals expression of
opinion on the subject of third term
and on the great hippodrome well
come will attract still more attention.
To the Viceroy, who referred to the time
when Grant would again. be President of
the United States, the General said
"Your Excellency is very kind, but there
could be no wish more distasteiul to me
than what you express. have held the
office OF President as long as it has ever
been held by any man. l have no claims
to the office. / have had my share
or should be given to any CITIZEN" This
is downright declaration SO tar as it goes;
yet we judge from the rest of the conversa-
ton that the Viceroy was not convinced
that Grant would not again accept the Office.
But, then, those Asiatics never suppose
that man means what he says.

The British Parliament was prorogued
yesterday, and the royal address, which Is
a part of the formality of such occasions,
will be found among our cable dispatches.
1t will be noted that it is not the colorless
and indefinite production commonly set
down to be delivered from the throne. In
its simple constitutional character
Queens Speech must touch every point OF
moment in public concerns-for room must
not be left for the charge that any topic
was avoided or overlooked; yet the speech
that must touch all things must scrupu-
lousy avoid the indscretion of expressing
an opinion on any. Her Majestys Ministers
had difficult ground to get over on this oc-
casion, and have handled their case with
great dexterity and with an adroitness not
often devoted to the composition of formal
speeches. The successes of the govern
ment are touched. lightly and with con-
seriousness that they needed only refer
ence; and the few points that the Ministry
has no occasion to boast over are, of course,
not insisted upon. In the account given OF
the Berlin Treaty it is happily stated that
"the territorial arrangements stipulated
have been faithfully executed" tor the
word stipulated" is precisely the one
which describes what has been done,
but would not describe what is re-
quired and has not been done, as, for
instance, the reconstruction of the Grecian
frontier. Directly there is not u word on
this point, which is remarkable omission,
tor the Grecian difficulty is the only really
important topic now on the boards in the
politics of Eastern Europe. In summing
up the reforms in Turkish administration
exacted from the Porte, the deposition of
Ismail Pacha is counted, which certainly
argues great poverty in more Legitimate
material. Her Majes'ys expression of the
hope that the fighting in South Africa may
have cleared the way for enduring peace
does not claim great deal, and is, conse-
quently, not in conflict with the news
which. it will be noted, tells of q new
series of active operations against the Zulu
King in the marshes of the Umvalosi River.

Who, then, is likely to be the candidate
Will it be some one from the HERALps list,
which we observe attracts the attention of the
out at the last moment? Mr.. Kelly is be-
lieved to prefer Judge Church, and the
Judge, if we may form legitimate induction
from a conversation of his with reporter
of the Brooklyn Eagle, is not unwilling We
suppose, however, that Mr.. Tilden would
hardly agree to the Judges nomination.
He would consider him dangerous rival
for the Presidential nomination, and it
would be very bitter pill for him to swal-
low-to stand by and see Judge Church
nominated and then help to elect him. Pos
sibly Mr.. Kelly may agree that ii he may
name the candidate he will not name any
one so disagreeable to Mr.. Tilden's feelings.
Leaving Judge Church out of view there
is large field for choice. There are twelve
names now on the HEBALD's list, but from
these must be deducted those OF Messrs.
Tilden, Robinson, Hewitt and Cooper. We
suppose Mr.. Dorsheimer's name should also
den. This leaves seven names, besides the
dark horses, of whom no doubt there are
several. 1t is not worth while now to dis
cuss these names We may do so on another
occasion.

Orange Culture in FIorida.

Ten or twelye year old orange trees will not yield $50 to s6O per tree, on- ly in exceptional cases. 4 hundred trees to an acre, $10 to a tree would be better than most people do. Then, if the trees are not properly attended to, orange orchards decline, the bodies become covered with barkmoss and bark lice, and the limbs full of Spanish moss. Many orchards in Louisiana have become almost worth less, the fruit small and sour, by such neglect. But when properly attended to the orange tree is one of the most beautiful in the Southern States, and the most profitable of fruit trees. It is the queen of fruit and ornamental trees. Whether buried In beautiful and fragrant blossom in spring, or laden with golden fruit in autumn, or destitute of both blossoms and fruit in midsummer, it's twigs and branches always clothed with a pro- fusion of dark green leaves, it is a magnificent tree that everybody ad- mires.-Orange County, Florida, Re porter.
