French and German Sailors Fighting.
PARIS, December 25th.-Le lfqtin this
morning prints, though without giving full
credit to the report, a telegram from Lis
bon, announcing that German man-of-
war has just been dispatched from the
Island of st. Thomas in the Gulf of
Guinea, for Balergo, in consequence of a
conflict between party of French sailors

The Question of Home Rule for Ireland.
New YORK, December 26th-A. M.-The
Suf'S London special SAYS: Parnell is so
thoroughly satisfied that Gladstone intends
to push through the next Parliament his
measures for home rule in ireland. that he
no longer troubles himself with party in
trigues or shows any interest in the rival
ries of his opponents. Michael Davitt's
position continues to mystify the opponents
of home rule Many prominent Liberals
have expressed great concern as to
his future course. His calmness
at time when he might
be expected TO become demons.rative is
puzzling and his unusual urbanity, and his
care to seize every opportunity to announce
himself in perfect accord with the policy
and wishes OF Parnell, have excited gen.
eral suspicion that definite promises of
complete home rule for Ireland have been
given, and that both Parnell and Davitt
are quietly waiting to see the promises full
filed Should absolute home rule in
local affairs be given to Ireland, many
believe it would be used as lever
to widen the breach. and ultimately
secure entire independence. Indeed, it is
said tonight that Davitt, in a conversation
with a prominent Radical last year, in
sisted that a separate Parliament foI Ire
land should be Immediately established at
Dublin, and further declared that its first
duty would be to sanction the organization
of rifle clubs throughout Ireland, with a
view of preparing Irishmen for the strug-

Indian Outbreak Feared-Suicide of a
Sailor.
PoRT TOWNSEND, December 24th.-A tele-
gram was sent here Yesterday signed by a
number of citizens of Quillayute, about 125
miles from this place, stating that there
was danger of an Indian outbreak, and
asking for protection. The revenue cutter
Immediately took company of soldiers
from the fort and proceeded to the scene of
disturbance. No particulars have been re-

by the i'll treatment of the Indians by white
settlers. No very serious trouble is anti
cipated.
Captain Topp, an old sailor on this coast,
who arrived here two weeks ago as first
mate of the schooner Marie E. Smith, from
Kahului, committed suicide last night in a
small house back of the town, by shooting
himself through the head with pistol.
He must have died instantly. The cause
of suicide was probably money troubles
and heavy drinking. Captain Topp was
Dane, aged about So years and was 'consid-
cred a first-class sailor and officer.

The Office of Vice-President having be-
come vacant by the death of the late Mr..
Hendricks, and the Senate having chosen
John Sherman President pro TEN. of that
body, there is a general disposition to re-
gard him i'll law and in fact as Mr.. Hen
bricks successor and Acting Vice President
of the United States. A morning cotem-
porary protests with great insistence that
there is no such office as Acting Vice
President, and that the Senator chosen
recently to preside over the Senate is tenn
porary President of that body and nothing
more. He has no fixity of tenure, it argues :
his term of office may end with the day,
or even the hour, in which it began.
Therefore, it claims that Mr. Sherman can
not properly be termed Acting Weep

The Vice-President's office, with its
emoluments and perquisites. is not mag

A PoMPEuAN HousE.-A house recently
unearthed in the excavations at Pompeii
had evidently been in a state of repair
when the volcano buried it. Painters
pots and brushes and workmens tools
were scattered about Spots of whitewash

had been bundled up in a corner all by
themselves. Dinner, however. had not
been forgotten. A solitary pot stood on
the stove; and there was brown dish in
waiting before the oven, and on the dish
a sucking-pig, all ready to be baked. But
the oven was already engaged with its full
complement of bread, and so the sucking
pig had to wait. And it never entered the
oven, and the loaves were never taken out
until after a sojourn Of seventeen hundred
years. The pig and the bread had been
there since November o. A. D. 10. NJ.

PUTNAM CAvE.-The cave out of which
Israel Putnam dragged the wolf is seldom
visited, because it is in stony, mountain
Gus forest, in remote corner of Connect
cut. A picnic party recently made the
tedious trip, which involved several miles
of rough walking. There are pictures in
primers of Putnam entering the cave erect,
with blazing torch held above his head
The hole is really SO small that it can only
be explored on hands and knees, and an
adult cannot turn around in it. The length
is 300 feet, and tradition says that the hero
followed the beast to the further end, shot
him between the eyes by their own glow,
and was then drawn out with him by
means of rope.
