Death of Mrs. John P. Smith.

Last evening about half past five o'clock, after eleven weeks of intense suffering. Mrs. Maggie E., the young wife of MT. John P Smith, passed away. Troubles resulting from child birth had developed into pyae- mia, and though the best medical skill la bored to save her life, and the loving care of 8 devoted husband watched about the bed side, the angel of death lowered near and at last called her from her couch of pain. Only eighteen short months ago she was a happy bride, looking with rosy hopes down the wis tas of time, and when the joys of motherhood seemed about to crown her young life her cup of happiness was filled to overfowing But she now lies cold and stark in the em- brace of death, and her husband and friends have naught but fragrant memories to recall the flower that had blossomed among them. Of sweet and lovable disposition, pure ss the lily that blooms the whitest. she nestled down warmly in the hearts of her friends and these will cherish loving memories of her gentle spirit, while their hearts will go out in sorrow and sympathy for the young husband who has been so sorely bereaved. The funeral will take place to morrow morn ing at 9 o'clock from St. Marys church, after which the remains will be inferred in St. Bernard's cemetery.

A letter written from the state of Chia pas, Mex, last month says that the chol era has scourged the southern part o that state since last July and is still rag ing. The writer says that whole families have died in a single night, and on some plantations there are only three or foul people left alive. Many bodies have been devoured by the dogs, because those who were stricken were at once abandoned The town of Tuxtla had 5000 inhabitants, 600 of whom are dead. Of the 5000 ir Tonala over. 900 are dead. This town suffered most severely, twenty to thirty persons dying daily. The government or. gan of Chiapas implores the general gov. ernment to render assistance, as the mum. Der of victims is immense and misery and want are great.

Petit ms ace coming iu against the propos e,l bill to exempt 40 days wages from attachment. It is claimed that the workingmen do not ask 1t; that its movers are demagogues, having an eye to workingmea's votes, which If the frst premise is correct is labor thrown away. Certainly one result of the passage of the bill would be to cut off great many poor families from getting credit at the stores, for few merchants will take the risk the n.w law will put upon them.
 To-day the judiciary committee have hearing upon the Holland county court matter.

The Vienna correspondent to the Lon- don Chronicle gives the following account of the circus fire at Berditsheg :-'"The performance had reached the fifth item in the program, some clowns being in the ring, when another clown in acting cos tune rushed in, shouting 'Fire!' At first the people thought this was part of the performance and laughed; but immedi- ately afterward the ringmaster rushed in and gave the alarm. The scene of horror that ensued was indescribabls. The au- diencs were so closely packed that motion was almost impossible. Some in despair flung themselves from the galleries, and parents unable to save themselves made a desperate attempt to save ths1r children by throwing them down into the ring. Some of the men, wearing the long coats of the Russian Jews, were entangled on spikes and remained hanging in the air, while the whole building resounded with heartrending cries. In the ring, where the clowns had been performing, there was a carpet, and for little while the children were safe in the center of this ; but when the grown up people in their despair began jumping from the dress cir cle and galleries the whole ring became one inextricable mass, in which the chil- dren were trampled to death or suffocated before the flames reached them. But even this was net the worst. The horses soon became unmanageable, and about dozen of them, driven mad with pain and terror, broke into the ring, trampling to death the people huddled together there. All this occurred in less time than it takes to describe, and in twenty minutes all was over-at least half the people who had been in the building being burned to death or suffocated. At the windows and various exits scenes of the most horrible description were enacted, some of the strongest, in the efforts to extricate them selves from the struggling mass, forcing others weaker than themselves into the flames. The fire brigade was summoned, but the engine was delayed by falling through the ice, and when it arrived the water in the tanks was frozen. The doors of the circus opened inward, and the side entrances were nailed up. Efforts were begun on Sunday to recover the bodies. At the main entrance to the circus lay the burned and blackened bodies of a heap of victims, their heads fairly outside the door, while their bodies were held as though in vice by those who had crush ed upon them from behind. Further in- side the ruins many of the bodies were burned to cinder. The total loss of life has been ascertained to be 268."

Both branches of congress are working away at the tariff revision, the inevitable discussions making the rate of progress very slow, considering the little time left. The opposition seems to be chiefly aimed against the manufacturing interests of New England, the idea apparently prevail ing that by crippling these industries the country will be bensfitted. And yet the country was never supplied with as good wares or as cheap wares as it has been since, by judicious protection, manufac- turing has been stimulated so wonderful ly. And the farmer never before had such good markets or obtained better prices.
