These simple facts are we'll

authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto

Woes ON the Water.

LONDON, Dec. PA dispatch from
Oporto, Portugal, announces the arrival
there of the British brig G. d. T., from
PaspebIac, Canada, from which port she
sailed November %. She brought SO per-
sons whom she rescued from the steamer
Plantyn, which sailed from New York for
Antwerp November IL, and had not since
been heard from.
NEW HAVEN, CT, Dec. 27.-Ten men
have arrived to take the places of the nine
men frozen and one killed on the bark
Mohawk, which will proceed on her voy-
age to Calcutta tomorrow if the wind is
favorable. The physicians are unable to
tell for 4S hours to what extent amputa-
tion will be necessary in the cases of the
nine frostbitten sailors.
KEY WEST, FLA, Dec. 27.-The New
York papers of the 10Th inst. report that
the steamer Egyptian Monarch, which
arrived at Liverpool on the 4th inst, jetti-
soned about 300 bales of cotton on the
Florida reefs, where she grounded on No
vember IA. Nearly $50 bales of cotton
have been brought here by the wreckers,
and as more is coming in nearly every
day grave doubts are entertained whether
it is from the Egyptian Monarch. By the
10Th the exact number of bales iettisOned
should have been known, and it is thought
that another steamer grounded about
December 3.
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 27.-Some anxiety is
felt here in regard to the White Star Line
steamer Celtic, which is overdue. Her
owners have sent a powerful tug to
Queenstown, where she is to await further
orders. The Celtic sailed from New York
December 10 for Queenstown and Liver
pool.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Messrs. Funch,
Edge & Co., agents of the steamer Plan
tyn, state that the vessel was inspected by
the United States local inspectors just
previous to her departure from this port,
and that she was furnished with RATS and
boats sufficient to carry 300 persons. She
had provisions for 120 persons, although
she had on board only 81 passengers and a
crew of 40.

Canada's orangemen ana Catholics

ST. JOHN, N. f., Dec. 27.-Advices
from HarbOr Grace state that the Orange
procession yesterday, while passing Ships
Head, was fired upon by a crowd. Az
first the Orangemen thought that the fir
ing was from powderguns carried by
their friends until they saw their men fall,
four being killed and some ten or fifteen
wounded. The police dispatched from
here at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
reached Harbor Grace at O'Clock this
morning. The horse police, which fol-
lowed, went part of the way by train, and
also arrived there this morning. The
night passed quietly. One hundred spe-
cial cOnstables We're sworn in this morn
ing. There is great excitement in the
neighboring villages and many arrests are
expected.
Two of the killed were Orangemen and
two Roman Catholics. Eight persons are
reported to be mortally and from IS to 20
slightly wounded. Head Constable Doyle
is among the wounded. At present there
is lull in the outbreak at Harbor Grace,
but the neighboring town of Carbonear, a
few miles north, is in a state of the widest
frenzy. More than 900 men are parad-
ing the streets and preparing to march on
Harbor Grace. Crowds of men are
hurrying up from the whole
extent of the north shore
of Conception Bay to the scene
of the disturbance. All business
places are closed. Most of the private
dwellings are protected by bars and bolts.
If the riot breaks out anew the officers of
the law will be powerless to protect life
and property. 1t is now rumored that the
government has cabled to Halifax for
troops and a ship. If the Carbonear con-
tingent marches on Harbor Grace the re-
suit will be terrible to contemplate.

DIR. Detmers Characterizes the State
ment of NJ. Bert as False.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-The statement made
by Paul Bert, as contained in the Paris
cable dispatch published this morning. in
which he processes to quote from the report
of DIR. II. j. Detmers, of the United States
Bureau of Agriculture, to the effect that
diseased and dying hogs passed through
the stock yards at Chicago daily, and
were sold cheap and shipped to Bordeaux
and Havre, have drawn out a letter of
protest from DR.. Detmers. He declares
the statement of M. Bert to be not only a
perVerslon of facts, but falseho0d, In
his Official report to the Commissioner of
Agriculture is contained all he has
ever had to offer concerning the
transportation of diseased or dead hogs.
and there he simply called attention to
tnelr transportation to rendering tanks
entirely distinct from the packing houses
as affordlng means of spreading the hog
cholera which prevailed in 1873 and 1879.
Or. Detmers declares that the regulations
OF the Chicago Stock Yards are such as to
render 1T absolutely impossible that dead
hogs could be smuggled into them. and
should an animal die in the yards it is at
once delivered to a soap-grease rendering
establishment outside of the yards, and
cannot possibly get into the packing
houses.
PARIS, Dec. 27.-The government has

Chambers have pronounced upon the bill,

A Wonder Among widows.

A few days ago prominent fisancter
died in this city, leaving a widow hardly
half his age, whom he married for second
wife some fifteen years since. At the time
of his second marriage he had several
grown-up children who, as usually hap
pens, were very angry, and who insisted
that his new wife had accepted him on
account of his wealth. Despite the diff
ference of their ages they were in
sympathy and lived happily together.
She always resented the charge of
mercenaries. and now that he is
dead she has opened boarding house, re-
solved to take care of herself. Although
her late husband was held worth several
millions, it is given out that he had lost
his fortune in Wall street and that he left
no will. Some of the widows friends nave
urged her to insist on her legal rights, but
she stubbornly refuses to. The dead
fnancier, who devotedly loved her, is
thought to have provided generously for
her in his will. But even if the will had
been destroyed she woIld be entitled to
her dover, but she will allow no action in
her behalf

The White Elephant ON Deck
Neac York World.


Information has just been received by
Barnum, Bailey 81 Hutchinson, through a
letter mailed by j. B. Gaylord from Man
da ay Golden City of Palaces last Octo-
Der. which confirms the recent cablegrams
which were published concerning the pur-
chase by that firm of a sacred elephant
from King Theebau. The letter contains
a partial description of the animal, and
among other things states its height at
nine feet six inches, that it is young, in
excellent health and condition, and provid-
ing no accidents are met with will arrive
safely. 1t is also stated that the purchase
was effected only after the intercesslon of
the Bishops of RangOon and Mandalay,
together with the personal request of the
Mother Superior of the convent to Queen
Soojahat, the wife of King Theebau, who,
it is said, rules the KING with a rod of
iron. AT all events, the elephant was de-
livered over to Mr.. Gaylord by the Kings
master of elephants, and was then hur-
riedly placed on board the British and
Burmese Steam Navigation Company's
steamer Terasserim, which sailed from
Rangoon on the Sth of this month. 1t is
expected that the animal will be here by
next June.

A Change of Tactics


He had taken three terms of the gym
nasium, and could muscle a twenty.
tiye-pound weight, turn a handspring,
knock sand-bag blind and box the pro-
fessor all over the room. More than one
pupil had sighed for his skill, and re
marked that the man who should tackle
him would be mashed to pulp in a min
ute.
Yesterday morning he was coming up
Howard street, full of life and yigor, when
he came across an express wagon with a
wheel off. He made some inquiries and
received curt replies. This led him to re-
mark:
"Young man, some one Will cuff your
ears some day.
But it won't be you!"
''Don't be too sure of thatv
''Maybe you'd like to begin now? ?" said
the young man as he quit his work and
stepped to the walk.
Il think | can cuff some manners into
you," replied the other, and he reached
out to begin.
The young fellows right arm gyrated
around for ten seconds, and then his fist
shot out and landed on the citizens nose
like kick from colt. He was going to
follow it up, but before he could spit on
his hands again the other man started of
at the rate of twelve miles an hour, and
turned the first corner like a streak OF
light. Later in the day he explained to
an inquirer:
