IS wears of age, threw her down, poured
gasoline over her clothing and set it on

in this State, for several years. Mrs. Ber-
nard came to Laper a few weeks ago from
G~reenvilIe, where she lives. She is the
wife Of quite q prominent lumberman, and
a woman about 40 years old. She has
been busy meantime attending meetings
and mingling in general society, but CIV

w~ickedness. She is under arrest.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-A Herald Wash
ington special says: A singular misap-
~prehension has got abroad concerning one
part Of the. new treaty with China. 1t is
asserted in some journals that before n
law changing the present status Of immi-
grafton can go into effect it must be sent
to China for the Emperor's approval.
There is no provision Of this kind 10 the
treaty. The error has arisen from care
less reading OF the correspondence between
the Chinese and American correspondents.
The Chinese proposed that the regulations
adopted here should not go into force I'M
til they had been submitted to the Chi
nese Government. To this the American
Commissioners replied at once that such
an agreement was entirely out Of the
question.

time, az be always has, with the Southern

Senator NJ. G. Butler, in talking about the
future Premier. said to-day We bear no
malice against Blaine: he is a thoroughly
good fellow; he has pitched into us enough,
Heaven knows, but ne has never done it in
any spirit Of malice. This is the universal
talk about Blaine on the Democratic side.
II one desires to hear Blaine abused it is
To the Republican side he must go. The
latest mode Of addressing Mr.. Blaine is to
call him a." Mr.. Secretary" This mode Of
sa utation never fails 10 bring forth a
smile and a merry twinkle in his eyes. He
