SMUGGLING CHINESE. Chinese are now being smuggled across the line from British Columbia in large num- bers. Several persons are in the busi- ness. A sloop arrived in Seattle, Wash ington Territory, lately directly from Victoria, with twenty-two Chinamen on board, who were landed on the beach north of town. This information reached the officer too late for him to make any arrests. Three or four sloops are con stantly engaged in this illegal traffic, and large numbers of Chinamen are brought to American soil every week. From employees on the regular steamer the smugglers keep posted as to the movements of the revenue cutter, and thus evade capture.

swOOPING DOWN ON CUBA.
A Few Patriots from Key West Nabbed
 Just as They Were Landing.

On Dec. 6 the commander of the musquito fleet doing guard duty on the south side of the Island of Cuba, received information that an attempt to land number of insurgents would be made. He went with his vessels to 8 point between Santiago de Cuba and Guantam- amo, and early on the 7th instant surprised two boat crews as they were landing. Fire was opened on both sides but without loss of life. The commander of the fleet captured seventeen men.
 They proved to be native Cubans, who had sailed from Key West in a schooner, which they left for the open boats on the morning of their capture.
 The leader of the insurgents is said to be a man whom the Government have been looking for. The prisoners will be taken to Havana for trial, and, it is thought, will be executed.

TWO LIVES SACRIFICED.
Wife and Husband Driven 10 Suicide by
 the Islanders of Village Gossip.

Prof. ". H. Brown. formerly of Red Hook, Duchess County, N. T., killed himself through despondency over the death of his wife. Brown was a school teacher in Red Hook. About three months ago some boys who became incensed at his wife over some trihing thing, originated scandal affecting her chastity to which there was no foundation. It became the talk of the village, and coming to her ears, it made her frantic. She vainly protested her innocence until, overcome by anxiety and humiliation, she took Paris green and died. Her husband after the funeral of his wife, made arrangements to leave the village, all the while pro- testing that his wife was innocent, and declaring that he would kill himself. After his departure nothing more was heard of him until an Associated Press dispatch was received announcing his death by his own hand. The news has caused profound feeling in Red Hook, and an effort will be made to put the responsi- bIity where it belongs. There seems to be no doubt that the lives of both husband and wife were sacrificed by village gossip.

The New State.

Mir. Vest, of Missouri, spoke ill the United States Senate against the bill to admit a part of Dakota as State. There was no need, he said, for the ad- mission of new States in o-dsr to strengthen the Union, and there was no need to rush this Territory into the con. dition of State. The population was not enough to entitle it to 8 Representa- tive in Congress, and it would to a cer- tain extent be disfranchisement of the States already in the Union to give the present population of Dakota two Rep resentatives in the United States Senate, as we'll as Representative in the lower House of Congress. The demands said to have been made since 1870 for the ad- mission of the Territory had been the demands of ambitious politicians. Gen. Grant had been credited with the state ment, while President, that Dakota gave him more trouble than all the other Territories put together; that the trouble there was that there were two streets in Yankton, and when one street did anything or got anything done the other street rebelled, and it would re. quire almost all the civil and military power of the United States to keep the peace between the factions. The trouble was that there were too many statesmen | n Oak ota.

MELANCHOLY DISASTER.
Twenty-Seven Oystermen Drowned In th
 Rappahannock River.

Advices from Baltimore, Md, dated Dec. IA, state: Officers of the steamer Mason L.. Weems, which arrived this morning from Rap pahannock River, Va., report 8 fearful loss of life among the colored oystermen on that river in the storm of Tuesday.
 About twenty-five colored men were out in their boats longing for oysters when the storm arose. The gale capsized almost all the boats and those which escaped being capsized were unable to reach shore and it is supposed were sunk.
 The men were thrown into the rough water, and were unable to swim to the shore. Many of them chung to the boats for g. time, but were finally washed away and drowned. Very few of them escaped. Eleven bodies have been re- covered already, and as many more are said to be missing. It is scarcely possible that any of these latter have escaped death.
 Additional intelligence from the Rappahan- mock is that fifteen canoes started from the Lancaster side, above Urbana, to go to a schooner on the Middlesex side to sell their oysters, when the storm struck them. There were three or four white men, and the whole number drowned was twenty-seyen. Two more bodies, thirteen in all, were recovered near Mill Point. further down the river.
