VERY INTERESTLNG.

From the n Y.sun.l
Mr.. Roger @. Mills of Texas is
second on the Carlisle Morrison
Committee on Ways and Means.
His name comes directly after that
of Gel. Morrison himself If the
Free Trade procession ever starts.
Mr.. Mills will be very near the
front.
On Saturday Speaker Carlisle and
Col. Morrison went to Philadelphia
to attend a reception at the Com
monwealth Club. Mr.. Mills re-
mained in Washington; and the
absence Of the two chieftains who
take precedence over him made the
Texas Congressman for the time
being the official and responsible
representative at the capital of a
Tariff for Revenue Only.
How did Mr.. Mills act, with this
great responsibility resting on his
shoulders? We find that on that
same day, Saturday, with Speaker
Carlisle and Gel. Morrison off on a
prepagandist mission to the very
stron ghold ola Tariff for Protection,
Congressman Mills delivered HIM
self as follows to a correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Press:
81 am Just as much in favor of the
principles "a ever, but the sentiment OF
the House is too clearly against it TO
give any chance of success. and we will
be compelled to substitute something
less surprising in the way of reduction
Of the tariff.

Democrats have been bitterly opposed

China Determined to Fight, I'm
less France Backs Down
@ Completely.

A late New York special states
that a private letter from gentle
man residing at Canton, dated De-
cember 9Th, says, China is deter
minedlto fight, and war can only be
avoided by France backing clear
down to the ground France made
an awful muddle of the whole affair.
Had she acted with force at first,
Tonquin would now be hers, and
everything be quiet. The idea of
occupying the country with only
1000 or 1000 troops is too absurd for
serious contemplation, but that's
just what France attempted. France
ia her delay and want of resolution,
led China to believe chat fear kept
ner back, and this idea has taken
such hold on the Chinese mind
that she would not be satisfied with
anything short of a complete sur
render of she position which France
has assumed. The Tonquin troops
are pouring in from the north, and
are being raised here. The writer
says Chinaman told him the 9th
er day; at is no use trying to get
along peaceably with country like
France, which is the most trouble
some nation that ever existed. China
must rise up as one man and crush
the pride Of the French. Germany
tried it, but although she succeeded
in winning the day, stopped short
of the mark, so now it rests with
China to complete the humiliation
of proud and arrogant France" \"
Such is tho sentiment of all the
Chinese, from the highest to the
lowest.

Referring to the danger encount-
cred by pedestrians in crossing the
streets in Paris, correspondent of
the London Truth writes 'Drivers
may go at full speed over the cross
ings, and pedestrians must not ex-
pect the slightest forbearance. Often,
indeed, it seems as if drivers OF
empty cabs increase their pace at
crossings for the purpose of fright
ening nervous pedestrians. There
is, moreover, not a pin to choose be
tween drivers of cabs and of private
carriages. The latter are frequent
ly the greatest offenders, especially
near the dinner hour; and it is i'm
possible to acquit of serious blame
masters who bid their coachmen to
make haste home, no matter if it be
the hour of dusk, with the gas still
unlighted, or if, as at this time OF
year, night has set in. The gallep
home from the theatres about mid
night is equally scandalous, though,
happily, pedestrians are then less
numerous.

HOW TO PROPOSE.
OPINIONS FROM SOME OF THE FAIR
ONES ABOUT MAKING THE BREAK.

OPINIONS FROM SOME OF THE FAIR
ONES ABOUT MAKING THE BREAK.
A bright-eyed girl, who is a skill
full angler for hearts, thinks young
man, to be successful, should pro
pose after very short acquaintance,
take the girl by storm as it were,
while she is pleased with new
beau, and before she has time to
tire of him; then follow the pro
posal up with vigorous courtship,
let's of flowers, bon-bons, drives,
theatres, &C., and if she consents,
insist on short engagement, by all
means.
Another we'll known blonde beau
ty, who has created sad havoc and
has had much experience in this
line, says the only successful way
to propose is when least expected.
Allow no time for consideration, and
then insist that the acceptance must
be "now or never" She feels sure
that is the only way that she will
ever be captured; but she thinks
very few men are bold enough to
try that game.
A handsome young widow, well
known in society circles, who is not
SO rich as she was, says the only
successful way TO win her is to offer
= fine house, horses and carriages,
with plenty of money to keep them
up. a
A dark-eyed girl, with tangle
Of soft brown hair shading her brow
says: "If a fellow is desperately in
love with a girl, and is persistent in
| his efforts to win her, he is sure to
gain his suit. Widowsrs understand
this point, and know exactly how to
make love and propose, and you
will observe they are always sue
cessful." She knows one case where

makes her nervous about the re

To those of our merchants, who
do not believe that a standing ad-
vertisement in newspaper pays,
the following from one who has
tried it, and knows whereof he
speaks, will be of interest:
Standing advertisements in
paper command confidence. The
man who for years resides in COM
munity and lives reputable life
even though be be ofmoderatc abili-
ty will grow in the confidence and
esteem Of his fellowr. On the same
principle, q newspaper advertise
ment becomes familiar to the eyes
of the reader. 1t may seldom be
carefully read, still it makes the
name and business of q man familiar,
and its continued presence in the
columns Of a paper inspires oonf-
donco in the stability of the adver-
tiser. gt,.

Those who have seen the much
talked of dynamite explosive will be
interested to know that it looks
very much like moist brown sugar.
Nitro -glycerine, at low temperA-
ture, is active agent in dynamite,
but is mixed with some absorbent
substance. The absorbent material
thus used in silicious earth-a fine
white powder composed of the re-
mains of ofinfusoria, and resembling
powdered chalk; this takes up two
or three times its weight of the
nitro -glycerine, without becoming
pasty, and the ingredients are east
ly mixed, leaden vessels and wooden
spoons being used to avoid danger
Gus friction. When fameis applied
to this mass it burns with strong
fame, without any explosion; but
when ignited by a decorating fuse,
or even by a sudden blow, its eX-
plosive force is tremendous.

JAMES MUTT, SLAYER OF HIS SISTERS
sEDUcER, STANDS GUILTLEss OF
s MURDER IN THE EYES OF THEE
LAW AND HIS FELLOW


PIrTsBuRG Jan 22.-As early as
z o'clock this morning all the en-
frances to the Court House were
besieged by crowd far exceeding
in mum bers the attendance on any
day since the trial began. The
doors open at 8 a. M, and
blocks of people wedged into the
narrow passage way and moved
slowly up stairs, and soon filed the
ceurt room. Promptly at $50 o'clock
Judge Stowe ordered Court opened,
and the prisoner was escorted to his
seat in the rear of his counsel He
was carefully dressed, but his face
gave evidence ofthe mental strain
to which he had been subjected. He
had slept very little last night.
At 9:57 the jury filed in, and as
they seated themselves the silence
that prevailed was oppressive. After
answering to their names, the Judge
said "Gentlemen of the jury, have
you decided upon verdict
They replied "We have"
The court then said: ''The prison
er at the bar will stand up"
Mutt, who was very weak and
much affected, attempted to rise to his
feet, but had to be assisted by one
of the court officers.
Gentlemen, what is your verdict?'
asked the court, to which the fore
man replied:
"NoT GUILTY,
Con account of insanity at the time
the act was committed"
The crowd, which with difficulty
had been restrained during the day,
gave-Eent- TO its feelings of approval
in loud cheer, which the immense
crowd on the out side took up and
answered back and another cheer
went up from those inside. Finally
order was restored and the Judge
remanded James Mutt 20 Jail until
tomorrow, when, in accordance
with the motion of his counsel, a
Commission will examine him. as to
his present mental condition. Mutt
was taken back to his cell. Mrs.
Mutt and Miss Lizzie were not pre-
sent. They Remained at the resi-
dence of Mayer Brown where the
glad tidings were quickly conveyed
to them.
