A caLoaoFoRm STORY.

4 story comes from Kentucky which
deserves to cap the climax for wildness
and extravaganza, though 1t is told quite
soberly, and as il it were matter of fact.
It is to the effect that the discovery of the
preparation of horrible crime had been
made through death-bed confession. A
house was burned, and the owner, with six
children, persisted. Il is now said that
cdr James n. Brandon of Coneyville on
'' his death-bed confessed that he and John
4" Whittingill and Bill Taylor Whittingill,
did the deed. Brandon says that they
"took a syringe and ttre,g chloroto,1n
"Mroagh the keyholeS into The different rooms,
q and waited until it had caused deep
"sleep" This entities Kentucky to the
prize offered by the Sazarac Lying Climb for
the most audacious lie on record. Bat
after all the story is not artistic. It ought
to have informed the public how many
hundred gallons of chloroform it took to
send the victims into ga deep sleep" when
administered In the way stated Certainly
it may be regarded as indubitable that
there was not enough of the drug in Ken
lucky to send these people to Sleep
"Squirted it through the keyholes, in
deed if any such story has been told by
anyone on death-bed, it must be that the
cause of death was deliriua tremens, and
that the morbid Imagination of the patient
created the ridiculous incident. But it is
evident that they continue to raise
fac article of unsophisticated journalists
in Kentucky, or this narrowing tale would
not have been gravely sent over the wires
as piece of genuine news.

THE new pAsI1AnEsrARY RULES.

The new rules of procedure proposed by
Mr.. Gladstone are, in brief, as follows !:
The Speaker is to have authority to bring
= debate to an end, or as we should say,
to move the previous question, but the
proposition must be supported on d.
vision by more than 200 members, or op.
posed by less than 10. Again, no member
shall be entitled to make more than one
dilatory motion in Committee of the Whole.
Hitherto every member might speak as
often as he pleased, or as often as he could
catch the eye of the Speaker. Motion for
adjournment is not TO be in order until
the motions of the day have been disposed
Of. Provision is made for bringing i'm
portant questions before the House under
the plea of urgency in despite of
factious opposition. In drawing bills mem.
bers may only speak to the whole question
on enc of the readings. Heretofore this

WHY raEY ARE PLEASED.

1t seems that the thieves and their or
gans are extremely glad because Mr. Sar-
gent has not been nominated Secretary of
the Interior. The reason of this rejoicing
on the part of the thieves constitutes the
most conclusive proof that President
Arthur made most serious mistake in
changing his mind on this question. The
people who are delighted to have Mr..
Sargent kept out of the Cabinet, and who
are no doubt equally pleased to have him
sent out OF the country, are precisely those
against whose Vaccinations the admins
tration has the strongest motives for pro-
viding. The opposition and enmity to
Sargent from beginning to end has been
the opposition and enmitY of alarmed
scoundrels, and it is this class which
expects TO reap the benefit of the Presi-
dents. action. Mr.. Arthur has in truth
missed great opportunity of strengthening
his administration. At present he has not
one really powerful man in his Cabinet
Every department Is presided over by
mediocrity. This is just what the rings
and the thieves want, but it is not what
the people want. and it is not the kind of
arrangement to build up public senti-
ment favorable TO the Administration. Mr..
Sargent would have been the most useful
man in the Cabinet. And though it is
true that he himself has benefited by the
Presidents infrmity OF purpose, that in
trinity of purpose has deprived the country
and the Republican party Of the very best
man who has been named for the Int
rior Department. After declining to put
Sargent there. however, the President can
scarcely listen to the advice of those who
are urging Cbafee for the place. The con.
trast would be altogether too marked in
that selection.

conld be done on each of the three read
ings. The Speaker may suspend member
whom he has been forced to NAME" for a
week, month, or the remainder of the
session. Bills are to be referred to great
standingccmmitteea, each composed of frcm
sixty to eighty members, instead of being
examined clause by clause in Committee of
the Whole. The clotuye, of which SO much
has been said, Is really nothing more than
our previous question, only that it is
moved by the Speaker instead OF by a
member

BRIEF SAN FRANCISCO ITEMS.

John 0'Neal, for robbery, has been sen.
fenced to State Prison for life.
Ira S. Parke, aged "a, well-known
mining man. fell dead Friday right at
Bash and Montgomery streets. His home
was Virginia City.
n. B. Bayly, who has been drumming
up custom at Sacramento, Marysyille and
elsewhere, for Blch. Meese & Co., wholesale
liquor dealers at 32l Montgomery street,
was arrested last evening By officer A. I.
Fields, at the Oakland Ferry, and lodged
in the City Prison on charge of embezzle-
ment preferred by member of the firm,
who accuses him of having collected some
$500, which, it is alleged, was spent in dis.
sipation and gambling. Bayly claims that
on settlement his account would not be
far short of being square.

TELLING TIE rRura.

Il is refreshing to find at least one Rus.
sian journal telling the truth about Sko-
beliefs speech, in declaring that he voiced
the sentiments of millions of Russians.
For this is undoubtedly TIE actual fact,
and it is further shown by the preparations
which are being made 20 welcome the Gen.
eral on his return to st. Petersburg. Nor
can it be questioned seriously that despite
its polite representations to Germany the
Russian Government is covertly support
ing this movement. It would of course be
impossible for any journal to approve Sko-
beloff's speech in defiance of the censorship,
nor would the meetings to welcome him be
permitted if they were rot serving pur-
pose. There are indications that the advo.
Gates of Panslavism either have obtained,
or are about to obtain, the ascendancy in
Russia, and if that happens, or when it
happens, rupture with Germany will be
almost certain. The conflict between leu.
ton and Slav must be fought out event
ually, no matter what pauses occur in it,
and though the results of the past seem to
warrant the belief that the Slavs will 90
to the wall in this struggle, they are still
formidable and persistent enough to give
their adversaries great deal Of trouble in
the meantime. At this moment the upris.
ing in Dalmatia is giving the Panslavist
Russians an opportunity of which they
have no. been slow to avail themselves,
and it is quite possible that the issue of
this small war may be to give Russia rev
and strong hold upon the trans-Danubian
peoples. and to shake the allegiance OF Aus
trias Slavonic regions to the center.

TURKEY nEcoGN1zmG TIE s1rUA71oy

The Porte, it is said, has undertaken to
assist Austria by detaching a number of
battalions to keep the Albanians from act
ing in support of Montenegro. The pre-
sumption is that the Porte recognizes the
hand of Russia under the present cempli-
cations, and is therefore willing to throw
itself into the arms of Austria. Certainly
there is very little room for choice in this
regard. Austria is no more friendly to
Turkey than Russia is. Both are intent
upon getting all they can from the decay
ing empire, and if the Tnrk possessed any
judgment he would be likely to let these
powers fight it QUE between themselves
Austria will no doubt return this favor,
however, by doing the Porte an injury at
the earliest opportunity, for that is the
Austrian way of evincing gratitude.

THOUGHT IN A DOG AND A WASP.

a small sized but fleet running dog
chased a large raceoon from wheat field,
and overlook him on the bank of the creek,
about rod from the water. The raccoon
faced the dog and sat upon his launches
for battle. The dog seized him just below
the forelegs In front and tried to shake him,
but could not, for he was heavier than the
dog. The animal Immediately set his long,
sharp teeth in the side of the dogs head
and clasped him in his claws. The dog,
whining with pain, tried to pull away and
shake off the raccoon, but was held fast,
when he turned to the creek and dragged
the raccoon, which still chung to him, into
the creek, where he held him under water
adroitly keeping his own rose out, till the
raccoon became so exhausted that the dog
shook him off and then seized him by the
throat and mastered him. The occupant
of room with the door open into the
street was startled one day by the en-
trance, with buzzing noise, of a large
blush wasp of the kind which captures
spiders to place in their nests fer their
growing wasps to feed upon. After flying
around the wasp went to a corner Of the
room where large house spider had made
broad web near the ceiling with long,
close hiding place down in the corner. the
wasp flew under the web and examined
this hiding place closely, apparently to see
if the spider was at home, and then, as if
satisfied of the fact, flew out of the room,
and, returning, dropped down on the
center of the web, buzzing and futtering
like caught fly. Therelpon the old
soldier rushed out in great haste to cap
ture his prey, and as soon as he came within
reach the wasp picked him up and few
away with him. Was. it reason or instinct
that caused the action of these two animals
under the circumstances Whateley says
instinct is q blind tendency to some
mode Of action independent of any consid-

FRENCHMEN EsGHEwrNG BRANDY.-Tec.
totalers will be delighted to learn that
temperance movement of no ordinary
strength has begun in France. The inhab-
itants of that country are not, it is true,
forsaking the rough Bordeaux wine which
is known by TIE name of lie petit bleu but
they are eschewiDg brandy; and it is
hoped by those who are sanguine that,
having given up the more seductive find,
they may in the end be induced to suuen-
der the less palatable drink. Possibly this
might be the case, but for one little diff
Guilty, which does not seem to have
quite presented itself TO the tenn
perauce advocates. The real cause Of
decrease in the consumption of brandy in
France appears to be that so much infe-
rior cognac has been vended Of late
throughout the country that the people,
in sheer despair of getting anything better,
have simply forsaken the beverage rather
than be any longer deceived. There is,
hawever, unfortunately, nothing in the way
Divine that can really be classed as inseri-
or to the terrible stuff with which it is the
wont Of the French peasant to regale HIM
self. and thus all hopes of his being
weaned from his wine, as he has been from
his brandy, swiftly vanishes. Perhaps. If
the teetotalers could offer him a better
drink in its place, they might lead him to
temperance. But that is task which
they co not seem capable CT accomplishing.
