The London - Times :" on Mr.. ParneII.
LONDON, December 13.-The Times, in
its leading editorial to-day, says there was
never a more incorporating defiance
flung in the face OF the English nation or
Government than when Mr.. Parnell, in
his speech in the rotunda mt Dublin on
Tuesday evening, declared war upon con-
stifulionsl principles, and the connection
between England and Ireland. II is i'm
possible for the pnblic men OF England to
regard this renewal OF Irish warfare with
indifference or contempt. The situation
j. serious. and will tax the ability Of Eng
lish statesmen to the utmost.
Not Libel.

the recorder to-day. A verdict OF not
guilty was returned. The judge said he
thought there was no case TO 20 TO the

another.

Hanged For MANY Murders.


On the 30th of November, at 10 a. M,
dreadful woman, one Kate Macy, was
hanged in Stein-an-Anger, the frontier
town between Syria and Hungary. In
the annals of crime she win occupy one
of the first places, for, although she con-
fessed to six murders only, she was con-
yicted of twenty-six, and we may sup
pose that she committed many more.
She found means of obtaining poison
from chemists in small provincial towns
By pretending to have a house full Of
rats. The small cakes which she sold in
tiny shop were so universally liked by
old and young that she could sell poi
soned cakes TO the persons who wished
10 rid themselves Oft superiluous rela-
tive without arousiug suspicion. Her
first murder was probably that of her
own husband, and when this remained
undiscovered she committed success
sion of other murders, for which she was
paid by the parties concerned. Hervic-
Tins were men, women and children,
old and young, and although her neigh
hors had long suspected her, still no one
dared for sometime TO accuse her OF the
dreadful crime She was believed to be

that the Dominican friars of San-an-An-
ger were able to found a religious socie-
ty which gained great influence in the
curse Of years. Although she confessed
10 six murders, the court of justice con-
demned her only 70 hard labor for life;
but the imperial council appealing to the
high court, obtained death sentence
which WAS signed about the middle OF
last month. Ever since the sc ntence
was communicated to Kate Macy she
spent her days and nights III praying
and fasting with her father coniessor
ever by her side. On Thursday the
hanginan arrived from Budo- Pesth, and
Kate Macy was taken TO the place OF ex-
ecution at the other end OF the town.
When she appeared in the street every
evry one was surprised To
see a meek little woman of about
fifty years of age, with kind, motherly
expression in her small face. She was
escorted by detachment Of imperial
Dragons and followedN by thousands
who had come from all parts of the
country to see her As she entered the
wooden fence which conceals the gibbet
from the eyes of the public she started,
for her daughter came up to her and
begged leave TO enter with her mother.
When she was refused she tainted IN
the arms of some women who had come
with her. The hangman fulfilled his
terrible task in few seconds. In the
meantime the crowd outside behaved in
a most shameful manner. They sur
rounded the murderess's daughter and
declared she must be executed also, be-
cause such dreadful woman's entire
race should be extirpated once for all.
The ruiiians would have lynched the
girl had not brave wo nan stood up IN
her defense, and by her undaunted
courage intimidated those near her I'M
iii some Dragons came to her rescue.
Kate Macy refused to name the persons
for whom she prepared her poison, so
that they cannot he prosecuted. Wen

Tho sham and the Real.

Every good thing has its host of imitators;
every genuine article its counterfeits. Bad
manners and wicked habits have theirs also,
but he who shams the bad never boasts oft,
while they who ape the virtues of the good or
simulate the genuine never hesitate to place
the counterfeit before the public in their most
alluring tones. When these people initiate
they always choose a pronounced type or
popular subject 10 copy from; and when they
claim TO be as good as So.and-So. " or to sell
an article equal to ''So-and-So," the public
may depend upon IL that Mr.. $50 and-So'
and his article are always of the best kind.
Thus the sham is always proving thegenuine
IN crit ofthe thingit copies.
A firm of enterprising gentlemen produce
and popularize al article Of household use,
such as the Royal Baking Powder, whose con"
Venieuce, usefulness and real merit make tor
itself an immense and universal sale. A
hundred imtators rise on every hand and az
they hold out their shaun articles TO the pub
lie, yelp in chorus, Buy this; it's just as good
as Royal, and much cheaperl" The Royal
Baking Powder is the standard the world
over and its imitators in theircry that theirs
is 'sas good as Royal" are oil time empha-
sizing this fact In their laboriOus attempts
toshow by analysis and otherwise that the
''Snowball" brand has as much raising power
"as the Royal" or that the Resurrection"
powder is as wholesome as Royali or that
The Earthquake" brand is "as pure as the
Royal as well as by their contortivc twist
ings of chemical certificates and labored ef
forts to obtain recognition from the govern
nent chemists and prominent scientists who
have certified thesuplinrityo Royal over all
Others, they all admit the Royal to be the
acmeof perfection, which il is their highest
ambition to initiate But the difference be-
tween the real and these mutations, which
copy only its general appearance, is as wide
as that between the paste and the true dia-
mon1. The slams all pay homage to the

THE TARIFF.

HOW THE SENATE BILL IS TO BE FIXED UP.
WASHINGTON, Jan 2S.--A Republican sena-
tor said o-day that there was no intention to
allow 50 ruinous bill to pass the senate as this
tariff measure in its present condition. OF
course a list that suited Beck and the other
free traders was not for the good OF the indus
tries Of the country. The friends Of protection
intended to fix up the bill when it came to be
considered in the senate, and If not there, ia
conference. 1t was confidently expected to ad-
Just it when it had all been gone over before it
was sent to the house. He said that there were
several Democrats who would vote for the bill
in the end They would have to do so The
intention was to fix up all the iron list 10
what it ought TO be, except az to
steel rods and tin plates, and possibly cotton
ties II was impossible to put back the duty on
the rods and bare. because the wire fence was
involved in It, and every one was crowding
down eheet iron. These two classes would
have to go, but beginning with pig iron, all the
rest could be pnt back to where il ought TO be.
It was barely possible that cotton ties also
could be restored Pig iron would be put at
So re, and iron ore probably at so cents
The various grades of manufactured iron and
steel would be raised in proportion. The votes
of the West Virginia and Maryland senators,
and Mcpherson and Brown, we're depended
upon to sustain the proposed restoration Of the
non and steel duties. The same thing would
probably have to be gone through with. 1t
was necessary 10 yield these points now In
order to make progress with The bill; but the
senator was confident il would come out right
N the end The Pennsylvania senators and
representatives introduce every day numerous
peutions from workingmen, asking high tariff
duties

grant mandamus to compel the New
York Central and the Erie railways to
forward freight when the freight hand
lers had gone on strike. The reversal
is one Of wide-reaching Importance, es-
pecially # it shall be sustained by the
court OF appeals. Justice Haight held
that those injured by the refusal to for
ward freight had a remedy in an action
for damages. The supreme court held
that the railroads must do their duty as
common carriers, because they have a
special highway granted them by the
state; that the men had right to strike,
and the railways to refuse to raise the
wages, but still innocent persons must
not be expected to bear the consequent
ees. The railways must do their duty.
The decision has quite taken away the
breath of the New York monopoly or
gans.
