The pope sent fresh dispatches to the
bishops of Chilli and Peru on the 18th
inst Recommending them to use their
influence in favor of peace.
AN assassin fired two shots at Lord
Lytton, viceroy of India, on the 18th
inst, but missed his intended victim.
The assassin was arrested.
GEN, ROBERTS telegraphs from Cabul
under date of the 18th that he had de
feated the enemy on all sides, but that
parties of Afghans still remained in that
neighborhood. 1t was his intention to
open battle with them again on the 18th,
unless they sooner dispersed. The total
British loss during the days fighting
Oh the 18th was, 43 killed, including 6
officers, and rs wounded.
THE bulgarian assembly, says Wen
ma dispatch of Dec 18th, was dissolved
because the leaders of the majority re-
fused to allow Prince Alexander to have
any voice in the nomination of the new
cabinet. The cabinet appointed to carry
on the government until the new assem-
bly, shall meet, with Bishop Clement, of
Tirnova, as premier and minister of pub
lie instruction, is such as will demon
strate the princes anxiety to avoid the ap,
pearance of his siding with either party.

18th says: A fire broke out last evening
at the we'll Of" belonging TO E. O..
Emerson, in red Rock. The well had
been cleaned preparatory to torpedoing
and was left open. Supt. Mason
passed by with a lantern, and the gas
ignited and set fire to the rig. The well
made flow and the burning oil ran
down the hill to $50 barrel tank, which
caught fire. The fire communicated
with $4,000 barrel iron tank which was
soon in blaze and burned steadily un-
til o'clock this morning. Rivers of
oil flowed down the valley and through
the Main street of Red Rock, burning all
the business and private houses in the
town. Three hundred families are home
less, and there is great suffering. The
scene at the village after the fire had con-
sumed all there was to feed on was simply
appalling, 4 dense black cloud hung
over ali the surrounding country and
nothing but blackened beams and still
smoking ruins, showed the site of what
had been not long before thriving vii
lage. Relief committees were sent from
several surrounding towns. TIE loss is
estimated at fully 100000.

ANOTHER interesting piece of sculp-
ture from Jerablous, on the banks of
the Euphrates, has been recently de-
posted in the Assyrian gallery Of the
British museum. The slab in the case
measures about IA inches thick, feet
high and feet 2 inches wide. Down
the middle of the face Is full-length
figure of q man in profile to the right,
in nigh relief; with long curled beard,
wearing q tightly-ftting garment with
short sleeves, bordered neck, and futed
folds over the breast. Over this a loose
robe passes over the right shoulder and
under the left arm. The feet of the
figure are encased in shoes with mar,
row turned-up toes, OF very eastern
form. The left arm of the man is ex-
tended and holds out short staff with
a long groove and bars. There are
eight lines of hieroglyphic Inscription
n the so-called Hamathite language.

Poor Return for Intended Kindness.
San Francisco Post.

There is no pleasing some women, as
case just pending in an Oakland court
exemplifies. 1t seems that a Mr.. Van
Duffy, who is a bachelor, boarded at
the same house in East Oakland with
Mrs. Bennett, married lady, and that
on a recent occasion, when the latter
was going out for a ride, she left her
two-year baby in the charge of Mr.Van
Duffy as particular mark of her con-
fdence. To amuse the little cherub
Mr.. Van Duffy tied 1t firmly but COM
fortably on the end of pole, and held
it up so that it could suck the plums
growing on the trees in the orchard.
He did this, he states, because he under
stood that ripe fruit was good for chill
dren. After few hours spent in this
manner the mother returned, and. in
stead OF admiring Mr.. Van Duffy's in
genuity, has abused him like pick
pockt ever since. The fact that the
baby died the next day of collie is no
reason, Mr.. Van Duffy thinks, why Mrs.
Bennett should 90 huffing around and
have him arrested for malicious mis-
chief. It's to be hoped that the jury
will do something to check this grow
ing tendency among women to make
fuss about trifes.

THE Chinese IN California have be
gun to go. The steamer that sailed
from San Francisco for Hong Kong on
the 10Th took 901 of them to their ma
live land. The port statistics of San
Francisco show that the arrivals OF
Chinese during the year ending No
vember 1 were 6,128, and departures
8,746-of whom 6,229 went to China
and 2,517 to Honolulu-the excess OF
departures over arrivals being
2,61S. 1t is estimated that there
are $4,000 Chinese on the Pacific
coast, which shows that this population
is decreasing, for when the anti-Chi-
nese agitation was begun, few years
ago, the estimate was 100000. The to-
tai number of Chinese arrivals for the
twenty years ending December, 1878
was $50, ,430, and the departures and
deaths 133 ,491. At this rate the Chi.
nese will soon cease to trouble the Cali,
