RIOTERS ON THE ERAMPAGE.
THE SLUMs OF LONDON MAKE
TROUBLE IN LEICESTER.

Desperate Fight Between the Police
and the Rioters-Many Broken Heads
The Mob Dispersed-SensatiOn in the
Chamber of Deputies-FIashes.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The rioting at Leices-
ter was renewed at midnight Friday. The
character of the mob IS very different from
that Of the crowds which created the dis
turbances Wednesday and Thursday Most
OF the strikers from the hosiery mills have
withdrawn from the street,, being satisfied
for the present with the decision to
have their differences with the
owners settled by arbitration. Their
places were filled in the mob
which committed its outrages in the
early hours of Saturday morning by
the lowest roughs, vagabonds and thieves of
the city led by few demagogues, calling
themselves Socialists who had come down
from London to foment and prolong the dis
turbancea For q time the rioters had
things their own way. They marched
through the streets in separate gangs, each
OF which was large enough to overpower the
police and special constables Welo were gen
orally isolated or assembled in small
squads. The police, however, soon
rallied, and attacked the main
body of the rioters in force. A des-
perate fight ensued in which many bones
were broken on both sides, although no one
is believed to be fatally injured. After half
an hours merciless hand -to-hand fighting
the rioters succumbed and fed in all direc-
tions, leaving their wounded and several
prisoners in the hands of the police. Among
the latter are some old criminals who have
long been wanted by the police for past
offenses.

national conventions. He aided largely in
making James Buchanan president.
In 1862, at the expiration of the term Of
Edwin D. Morgan, the Republican war gov.
ernor Of New York, Mr.. Seymour was
elected governor by the Democrats There
were many who believed that he would not
support the war measures of the general
government, but he responded to every call
for troops, although never in accord with
President Lincoln. Because of his connec-
tion with the New York riots, which fol-
lowed the conscription, he has been as
severely criticised as any man of the time
He was again candidate for governor to
succeed himself, and was defeated.
In 1868 he presided over the Democratic
convention in New York which nominated
him for president against his wish He
accepted the nomination, however, and in so
doing made, as he has said, the greatest
mistake of his life. He received but eighty
electoral votes, suffering painful defeat
He was never again prominent in public
life

Will King William Do 1t?

LONDON, Feb 15.-The Times publishes a
dispatch from Vienna which states that
King William has resolved to sign treaty
of peace with Bulgaria regardless Of the ag-
gressive action and the menacing attitude
of Greece in the southern portion of the Bal
kan peninsula. This is undoubtedly the
view of the Servian kings intentions which
the Austrian government desires to have dis
seminated and believed abroad, but it is
greatly at variance with the increased vigor
displayed by Servia during the past few
days in the preparations for promptly re-
Stunning the war at the expiration of the
present truce which ends by limitation at
midnight on Sunday the 2sth Of the present
month

Of tramps, who entered the drug store and
burglarized the safe of Mr.. L. R. Schmal-

a whole block was in flames, and liz short
time e25, 900 worth of property was de,

Inquiring Into the Riots.

LONDON, Feb. 15-Sir Hugh Childers,
home secretary, has appointed committee
over which he will himself preside, to in.
quire into the causes which led to the riots,
the character of the persons who partici-
pated in the disorder and the conduct of the
police in dealing with the mob
The queen has written an open letter ex
pressing her sympathy with the tradesmen
and others who suffered by the riots of lest
Monday and Tuesday.
The better classes of London have been
thoroughly aroused to the real needs of the
unemployed. Of the 100000 already sub
scribed during the past three days for their
relief nearly all has been contributed by
metropolitan merchants and bankers.

A RunOr Denied.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The Standard pub
ished dispatch from its correspondent at
Berlin, who says he is authorized to state
positively that China will not send special
envoy to the vatican, as was rumored that
she would do, in order to counteract the
growing influence of the French through
their missionaries in the administrative
affairs of the Chinese empire and its de-
pendencies. The dispatch adds that China
will probably send ENJOYS to Berlin, Vienna,
Paris, and the court of the Quirinal at
Rome, and that the latter envoy will also
be accredited to the vatican.

German Enmity to France.

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The Posts Berlin cor
respondent says the feeling among German
manufacturers against taking part in the
Paris exposition, to be opened in 1889, is very
general and exceedingly strong. 1t Is likely,
therefore, that large majority of them
will ignore the invitation extended by the
exhibition officials, and the German exhibit
will be very small.

he left there he studied law in Utica, N. Y,

ok Governor WilliamL Marcy of New York.
While with Governor Marcy he became Ia
miiiar with the workings of legislative
bodies, and when, in 1S42, he was elected to
the state assembly by the Democrats of
Oneida, he at once took prominent posi-
tion. That legislature was composed Of men
OF more than ordinary ability, and 1t was

Returning to Utica he was elected mayor,

DR.. Rink relates q curious tradition of
the ESquinauX, which we can hardly
quote here, bat the gist of it is that man,
who desired to make his sister his wife,
was transformed into the moon, while the
woman became the sun. Something like
the same legend has been traced as far
south as Panama. Another notable things
about Esquimaux traditions is that the
moon is associated with fertility in women.
The superstition is both very ancient and
very widespread, and, indeed, seems TO
have been the root of the moon worship of
the oriental nations and of the mysterious
rites of the Egyptians referred to by Hero
dotus Luna is identified by some myth
ologists with Soma of the Indian mythol-
ogy-i. e., the emblem of reproduction. In
China, according to DR.. Dennys, the man in
the moon is called Yue-loa, and is believed
to hold in his hands the powers of predeatin-
ing marriages. He is supposed to tie to-
gether the future husband and wife with
an invisible silken cord which never parts
while life lasts. Miss Gordon Cumming,
III her recent account of wanderings in
China, relates that in the neighboorhood OF
Foo-Choo she witnessed a great festival
being held in honor Of the full moon;
which was mainly attended by women.
There was a temple-play, or sing-sone,
going on all day and most of the night,
and each woman carried stool so that she
might sit out the whole performance. This
reminds US of what Mr.. Riley States in the
4" Book OF Days as related by John Audrey
in the seventeenth century; In Scotland,
especially among the Highlanders, the
women make courtesy to the new moon,
and our English women in this country
have a touch of this, some Of them sitting
astride on gate or a stile the first evening
the new moon appears, and saying Il fine
moon; God bless herp The like | observed
in Herefordshire. Al the Year Round.

The Eject of Alcohol.

DR.. J. G. Jewell, Superintendent of the
Home for lnebriates, recently gave lecture
on the effects of alcohol on the human
body, in the course of which he first men,
| toned some of the authorizations which
are found in liquors, ard which have
serious intoxical effects. Alcohol is the
Intoxicating ingredient in all spirituous
liquors. Ii is deadly poison TO all plants
! and animals. The part of a leech dipped
| in alcohol becomes paralyzed forever. AL
| cohol injected into a frog with small
hypodermic needle will kill it in a minute.
If half an ounce of it be injected into a
dog he will be dead before the needle is
drawn out. Any man not accustomed to
the use of liquor, who drinks six ounces OF
alcohol, will almost Immediately die.
the lecturer. The poison works slowly in
them, he said. They die before Their
time. The liquors at bars is usually
diluted with water The drinker gets only
about 25 per cent of the alcohol. Ex-
periments have shown that there is an
immediate congestion of the walls of the
stomach when alcohol enters. Alcohol,
being an antiseptic, prevents digestion.
Hence every drunkard must become dys-
peptic Chronical alcoholism produces in
Illumination of the stomach. The action OF
the stomach being suspended, the drunk
ard will not partake of food. AT the
Home of the Inebriates the lecturer said
he had seen drunkards vomit half of en-
ordinary bottlefull of blood a day. Alco-
hol is q dislocator. 1t produces great dry
ness and thirst. Hence those who have
imbibed it cool their thirst with beer,
which influences the full flow of blood.
Hence it is dangerous for drunkards to be
wounded or cut. The drunkard, he said,
is a hundred per cent. more liable to acct
dent, disease and death than the temperate
person. Alcohol also hardens the brain,
enlarges and changes the liver, and inter
feres with the proper action of the lungs.

SNAKE River PLAcEEs-P. L. Bruce and
Charles Colburn were among the depart
ures by rail last evening. Their destina-
ton is the placer deposits at the head OF
Snake river, Idaho. The fact was recently
mentioned in the Chronicle that an advance
agent was on the ground and had secured
several placer claims. which Mr.. Bruce will
work with the electrical process invented
by him for saving gold. Several samples of
sand containing yellow dust from that To-
cality, as fine as bolted -four, were shipped
here and run over the electric-charged cop
per plates. The test is said to have demon
strated the practicability of saving by the
electric process all of the fine gold con-
tanned in the samples. Mr. Colburn, who
has an interest in the invention, was so
well satisfied with the successful results of
the experiment that he resigned his posi-
ton of timekeeper for The Best & Belcher
and Gould & Curry Mining Company, san
guine that placer mining with the Bruce
electrical process will prove more remuner-
alive Virginia City Chronicle.

An EASY CURE FOR HIcooUGH.-Hic-
cough is a conclusive contraction of the
diaphragm. 1t is only necessary to allow
an exceeding long, and at the end forcible,
expiration to follow long and quiet in
spiration. The slow inspiration, especially
when it is chiefly performed by the wall Of
the chest, prevents the phrenic nerve from
being too powerfully irritated, while the
long expiration gives this nerve time to re-
cover from its over-irritation. A remedy
which the writer has tested many times
without failure, can always be used upon
a person who has the +" hiccoughs" by some
one else. You say to your friend some
thing like this " See how close together
you can hold the tips of your forefngers
without their touching. No; keep your
elbows out free from your sides You can
get your fingers closer than that. They are
touching now. There, now, hold them So.
Steady" By this time you generally ask,
" Now, why don't you hiccough p" The
involuntary tendency to breathe slowly
and steadily when the attention is fixed on
performing delicate manipulation. is here
what counteracts the conyulsive action of
the diaphragm Exchange
