The Germans have been making
some guns for the Chinese, and at a
trial at Canton, the head of Chinese
officer was blown off. 1he Orientals
will decline in future to have any more
guns manufactured in Germany,
More snow has been seen in Eng
land this year than for great number
of wears. In the Moreland districts
of the North the snow drifts have
been so deep that in some instances
they have been tunneled and solitary
houses have, with difficulty, been sup
piled with the neceSsaries of life.
The most unique specimens of dance
programmes we're seen at a grand Pol
ish ball in Austria. All the ladies re-
ceived exquisite little fans of ivory
and silk, emblazoned with the white
eagle of Poland in silver, and painted
with pretty picture of Galician
wedding by Polish artist.
Saturday night a mob of $50 men
went to the house of r. B. Swankins,
wife heater at North Manchester,
Ind, and babe him pack up and leave
town. He was beaten and kicked
through the main streets, escorted half
mile down the railroad track, where
two muscular men gave him terrible
whipping with black snake whips till
the blood trickled down his arms and
fingers. They then compelled him to
promise never to return to North
Manchester and allowed him to de-
part.
One of the heaviest land suits in
the history of Minnesota has been de-
cided in the United States Circuit
Court. 1t was the case of the North
ern Pacific road against the Manitoba,
and 100000 was involved. The
two roads cross each other near Glyn-
don, Mimi, and each claimed the
possession of 100000 acres of land
near that point. The principal con-
troversy was as to which grant was
made first. Judge Brewer decided in
favor of the Northern Pacific.
Extraordinary snow storms and ex-
ceedingly cold weather are reported
from England for the past week. 1t
is an unusual thing for railway train
TO be showed in, on the ''snug little
island" but a dispatch states that on
Wednesday six trains were showed up
for 4S hours between Newcastle ard
Morpeth, and the passengers were re-
duced to drinking the water from the
foot warmers, and pillaging the par
cels-post hampers for food, even cook
ing dead rabbit found by the track,
at the locomo i've fire. Such state
of affairs must have put quietus on
the coolest inhabitant."
A Pennsylvania man has invented
a mechanical COW mixer which can be
operated by pulling string. He
should present an accident insurance
policy to every one who buys the in
strument, as the mixer must stand at
short range while working the ma
chine.
The only persons who reaped any
benefit from the London riots were
the GLACIERS and hatters. Tall hats
were freely sacrificed by the mob as
the insignia of grasping aristocracy,
and the plate glass windows were a
tempting mark for the destructive So
clalists.
A singular shipwreck is recorded in
the case of the brig Ada L. White.
She was loaded with coffee, and in
storm when the water got below and
wet the cargo the coffee rose like
yeast, and with a shock that shook
the entire vessel, burst up the decks
and opened great seams in the vessel,
so that she quickly went down.
The use of sealing-wax for letters
is steadily declining and the custom
will soon be among the things that
were. "The wax is still used in To-
calities comparatively retired, and in
some sections of the country where
fashions come latest and linger long
est" says dealer, but he recognizes
that the days of the fashion are num-
bered.
