The Tariff Question in E1agland.

A cable dispatch from London to the
New York World indicates that little
value is placed upon the Quarterly Re.
gieao's 8 statistics and comparisons as af-
fecting the relative merits of protection
and free trade. This is in harmony
with what has been assumed by reve-
nue. FefoTmers in this country. The
dispatch remarks that "if England were
receiving 900 emigrants day instead
of losing 200 day, and if she had mil
lions of acres of good land to offer to all
corners, the figures would tell different
tale" Speculation continues rife in
England regarding the probability of
carrying through a measure of retalia-
tion with reference to the tariff.
1t appears that great stumbling block
in the way is the clamor for the protec-
ton of the farmers, for with duty on
foreign breadstuffs, which could hardly
be avoided if the manufacturers secured
a duty on foreign goods, the cheap loaf
could no longer be maintained. The
Tories will not hesitate to accept even
this danger to make an issue on the tariff
question, and some of the younger Lib
erals advocate speedy Incorporation of
the retaliation doctrine in their political
code, in order to steal the thunder of the
Tories. But there are too many Liberals
yet who have not forgotten the war Of
the corn laws, and who will not give as
sent to such an innovation.

A NEVADA PANT MrNE.-The ledG

A NEVADA PAINT MINE. The ledge
of terra sienne discovered by r. Ell. LO-
gan, of Empire, near the Carson river, has
been practically tested by house and sign
painters in Carson, and all pronounce it
equal in every respect to the burnt sienne
which sells in San Francisco at twenty
i've cents per pound. The ledge was a
blanket formation, and is eight feet in
depth. The supply is inexhaIs..;.,J,',e. and
all that has been so far found simply
has TO be ground up, mixed with oil
and ready for use. An Appeal repor-
ter was shown samples of it yesterday
Two coats are sufficient, and when
vanished it is of bright cherry color,
and when placed alongside the paint
manufactured in San Francisco an ex-
pert cannot tell the difference. When
taken from the ground it looks like red
chalk, and can be made into paint on the
spot by simply mixing it with saliva.
The Indians use it to paint their faces,
and manufacture it by combining it with
fish oil Mr.. Logan says he can furnish
it by the ton, and coin money at 8 cents
pound. The dome of the capitol needs
to be painted, and what would be more
appropriate than TO have it covered with
paint taken from Nevada soil7

The Week In NIIncIng lane.

LONDON, July 22-In the Mincing Lane
markets during the past week there has
been no change for the better The recent ar
rivals of West India sugar have considerably
increased the stock. Prices have fallen one
TO two shillings per hundred weight, except
for crystallized, and refners operated more
freely at the decline. The low brown sorts
are more steady. Beet sugar was slightly
dearer, as 1t Is thought that the pro-
tracted dry weather may affect the pro-
ducts. Coffee was inactive. Coloury CeYlop

prices. East Indias and foreign were fre
quently uussleable on previous terms. Rice
was unsettled by large shipments to Europe
and favorable harvest reports. Saltpetre

quiet, and prices favor buyers. Red leaf
China teas sold readily at fair prices. New
arrivals of black teas continue very unsatis-

INTO THE WOODS TO DIE.
The Effect of a mOIher's Harsh
Words ON a Delicate and Sensitive
Child.


On Monday forenoon, for four contin-
uOus hours, the rain poured down in
this neighborhood. Just before the
storm broke Mrs. Anna Reivea, of
Sleightburg, seeing her twelVe-year- old
adopted daughter Alice sitting languidly
in the room, screamed to the child:
''Get out of this room, you little
wretch Why don't you go somewhere
else to lie aroundl Get out of my
sightp
The pale, delicate child looked meek
ly into her mothers eyes, ard her sad
and supplicant gaZe would have turned
a heart of stone. For few moments
she stood in dazed kind of way, and
then, with a long sigh of resignation,
went into an adjoining room and threw
herself on lounge. A short tine after
ward the mother went into the room,
but the child was not there, and she did
not see her again until afternoon, when
she was borne senseless into the house
by a number of boys. The boys had
found her lying insensible on a
rock in the woods. When they
first saw her they supposed
she was a tramp, and began TO
pelt her with stones. On advancing to-
ward her, however, they discovered who
she was. and seeing her unconscious and
blue, they thought she was dead. The
boys were small, and the sight frightened
them very much. They went for a
crowd of larger boys, and they carried
the apparently lifeless form to her home.
It was nightfall before, by rubbing and
baths and the administering Of proper
stimulants, the child was restored to
consciousness, and it was many hours
before she could either speak or
walk. When she was enabled to
speak she said that feeling sad and
almost forsaken, with no one to
love her, she determined to go into
the woods and lie down to die When
she arose from the sofa the rain had not
begun to fall. but the sun was shining its
brightest. Wandering on through the
woods, she at leng h, tired and worn out,
lay down on a rock, and gradually be-
came unconscious, probably from weak
ness. These she had lain in the drench-
ing rain for four hours. until found by
the boys When her mother asked her
why 1t was shs had gone away, she an
swered, with tears In her swollen eyes:
II thought mamma and papa didn't
love me any more, and l went into the
woods, where God looked down on me.
and where the birds sang me to sleep"

TWO FIENDISH CRIMES.
The Terrible Deeds of a Crippled
Negro In Darlington.


COfStCS NO' ~ AHSooS VUty -.
We have received information of one
of the most atrocious deeds ever re-
corded in the annals of crime. On
Tuesday of last week, on the Larry
Hyman place, about tweEty- five miles
from Florence near Pee Dee, in Marion
county, Sam White, colored, a cripple
who has lost the use of his legs below
the knee, committed criminal assault
upon his own sister, the wife of another
cOlored man, also named Sam White
After he had committed the fiendish
deed he became frightened at the
consequences, prodcured gun,
loaded it with buckshot, and quietly
awaited the arrival of his brotherin-
law, who was at work on his farm.
When he came home, this inhuman
monster took deliberate aim and fired,
killing Sam White No. 2 instantly, nine
buckshot having entered his head, liter
ally tearing it to pieces After the COM
mission of this last act he crawled off to
the woods, ard an organized search
failed to discover his Whereabouts. A
warrant was sworn out before Trial JUS
tice Bryant McWhite, who undertook
the search and arrest with posse, which
was continued until Thursday, when Sam
was found hiding in gum pond under
some whortleberry bushes. Being called
upon to surrender be defied the officers
of the law, and replied by q threat to
kill the first man who attempted 10 ar
rest him, and began firing at the party
with pistol, emptying the six chambers
of it at the officers, but fortunately with
no effect on any of the party. He was
taken in custody, and on Friday sent to
Marion to Jail. Being afflicted and un-
able to work, for the past six years the
murderer had been entirely dependent
upon and supported by his sister and
brother-in law, which shows the un-
gratefulness of the fiend for their con-
sideration for him. There was great ex-
element at the deed, and the colored
people could hardly be restrained from
lynching him, which would have been
too light punishment for the villain.

We are not to infer that Mr.. Arthur is
as needless as Andrew Jackson, and we
certainly cannot suppose that he has
either the brilliant talents or the reckless
ambition of Aaron Burr. But he would
be dang rous President for the United

granted that he would go in for every
thing that could win him the favor of

It is not unlikely, if we are to Judge
from his antecedents and his alliances.
that he would play into the hands of the
worst of the Irish ring leaders and poll

LITTLE Rock, July % The outlaw trou-
bles in Perry county have broken out
afresh. 1t will be remembered that few
weeks ago Judge Harris and J. l.. W. Mat
thews, editor of the F0atrche Valley Times,
were ordered by 'select" band of outlaws
to leave the county. Affairs had reached
such crisis that Governor Churchill sent
General Newton, Commander OF the State
militia, to the scene to investigate matters.
A truce was temporarily effected, which
was broken last night by the cowardly
assassination of Mr.. Matthews.
A special to the Gazette, of this date, from
Morrelton, says: "a messenger from Per-
ryville arrived here at daylight this morning
for doctor to attend j. L w. Matthews,
editor Of the FOuTchs Valley Times, who was
shot last night at j o'clock In front of his
office. Eighteen buckshot took effect in
his left side and arm. Matthews and
his clerk, who had been out to
the well for water, were returning
to the office, the clerk leading, and was on
the eve of opening the door, Matthews be-
ing Just behind, when the shot was fired and
Matthews fell. A man was seen running
off so fast that he could not be recognized.
A note was left at the residence of Judge
Harris, advising that gentleman to leave
the county" Later dispatches announce
the death OF Mr.: Matthews.
