A North German Steamer

The Feeling Between England
and France.

LONDON, October 16.-A cores
pondent of the Times from Constan-
tinOple says: The Sultan has signi6ed
his acceptance of Said Pasha's condi.
tions for remaining in Office, viz: The
abandonment Of the Austro German
alliance, the acceptance of the accom-
plished facts in Egypt, and re -estab-
lishment of the good understanding
between England and France on the
Eastern question was only in princi-
pie. The Sultan really desires to
Illustrate Said Pasha's plans if the
crisis continues.
ST., PETERSBURG, October 49,
Freezing weather has set in, and navi.
CATION has been suspended in the
Volga and Kama rivers on account Of
drift ice.
PORTSMOUTH, Obtober 16.-The
transport Nevada has arrived from
Ismalia with 286 invalids. Thirteen
men died on the passage.
DUBLIN, October 16.-The Free.
mans Journal, in reviewing the pro-
gramme of the National Conference.
says it is strictly constitutional and
parliamentary, and only within the
lines Of the constitution can the battle
of Ireland be fought.
Elaborate military preparations are
being made at the Vice Regal Lodge.
The soldiers leave the lodge only in
couples. Half the available force will
be retained in the barracks at Mar
wood. The hangman is threatened
with assassination if he ventures to 20
to Ireland to perform an execution.
LONDON. October 16.-The cargo of
the steamer Preston, ashore near Bur
wick, is still being thrown overheard.
Three tugs were in attendance yester.
day, but nothing could be done to-
wards floating the vessel. This morn
ing the Preston remains broadside to
the sea in bad position. No lighters
or boats can get alongside.
The North German Lloyd steamer
Frankfort burned yesterday, while at
anchor in the harbor Of Bremen
Haven.
The Times says it has reasons
to believe that there are good pros
poets of a friendly understanding
being arrived at between France and
England in regard to Egypt.
CAIRO, October l6.-It is believed
in official circles that the proof Of
Arab Pasha's completely in the June
massacres in Alexandria has not been
Obtainable. 1t is claimed that the
Swiss can prove that many Bedouins
were shot by Arabs orders for loot
ing,
CAIRO, October 16.-Arabi Pasha
persists in declaring he will defend
himself if denied English counsel at
his trial.

CHICAGO, October 16.-A Pekin,

we'll known merchant, also President
and Secretary Of the Crown Distilling
Company, of this city, in which D. 7,
Mills, of Boston, is interested, left
here on the 18th of September for Bos-

tives and widows and orphans. The
dealcations aggregate over dlteer
thousand dollars.

A recent steamer from the Orient
brought to San Francisco a remarkable
curiosity, is the shape of a live sala
mander, which is confined in large
wooden trough, and daily supplied
with fresh water and live fish at the
Palace Hotel. The salamandpr comes
from Japan, and was captured in a
fresh water lake in the mountains.
The specimen is three and half feet
in length, has four feet and an exteu-
sive tail, the head being broad and
fat, and shaped like a heart, and the
eyes so small as to be hardly discerni
BILE. The mouth is not unlike that Of
the crocodile, and the novel guest al
the hotel is known to be at least sew.
en- years old. 1t is dark brown in col.
Or, the epidermis being covered with
excrescences, which are watery glands
secreting an acrid viscid fluid.

AT the Hamilton county Democratic
convention held in Chattanooga Sat
urday, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Bo it resolved, by the Democratic
party Of Hamilton county, Tenn, in
convention assembled.
]. That believing firmly in its prin-
ciples enunciated by the Democratic
State convention at Nashville, Tenn,
on June 81, 1882, we indorse the same
2. We pledge to the Hon. Wm. B.
Bate, Democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor and to Hon. Geo. G. Dibrell,
Democratic candidate for Congress, in
the Third Congressional district, the
united and undivided support of the
Democratic party of Hamilton county.
A minority report was offered but
the above was adopted after discussion
by vote Of 30 TOT.

Cruel Punishment.

1t is one Of the pleasing customs of
our fellow countrymen Of Alaska to
torture witches. Every village has
a medicine man to whom the sick 20
for treatment. The medicine men
treat only by incantation, paying no
heed to the sanitary condition. In case
the patient dies they ascribe the
calamity to some witch-generally a
peor relative of the deceased. The
person accused of witchcrait is then
seized by the tribe, tied to a tree,
beaten, starved, gashed with knives,
and, after a week of torture, burned
alive. During a recent visit of the
steamer Dakota to a Ohilkat town the
crew rescued two women accused oi
being witches, who had taken refuge
with lady missionary. AS it was
feared the latter would forfeit her life
for harboring the witches, she was re.
moved with them to Wrangel.

ATTORNEY General Lea denies EN-
phatically the sensational report
which originated from the Chatta-
nooga postoflice and the Associated
Press agent at that point, that he had
instructed the Grand Juries of the
State to indict the conductors and
agents OF marriage and birthday as
sociations. The wish was father to
the thought. The head clerk of the
Chattanooga postofice, probably
having a little extra work to do on
account of the mail Of these associa-
tions, furnished the item, which was
telegraphed back from Washington.
General Lea reiterates his opinion as
to the legality of the marriage societies
He does not say whether there are too
many of them for all to do a pr rosperous
business, or whether some are better
constructed and managed than other
ornot. These are questions for an intel
ligent public to investigate Some
will and should go down, doubtless,
but there is a chance for the fittest to
survive and continue to do a legitimate
business, the same as any system Of
insurance, benevOlence or mutual
benefits. No one should join any Of
these associations without looking into
the plan and ascertaining the probable
cost and benefit. Those who go it
blind have only themselves TO blame il
they are disappointed. The companies
should be ready at all times to explain
their methods, and state-uuder afli-
davit, if required-what they have
done. Those who conceal their opera
tions are liable to excite distrust and
suspicion.
