LONDON, Dec. 31.--There is q signif.
cant sign of the times in the contempt
with which the Republic is openly
spoken of in even the minor cities of
France. In the smaller communes the
citizens are more cautious in their speech
and in truth they have no strong prefer
ence for any particular form of govern
mcnt There could be no greater con-
trast than that between the bovine man
ner in which any rumor of change is re-
ceived in the country and the enthusiasm
which the Royalist produces in the city.
The extreme left is prepared for the
struggle which cannot be long in coming
and all parties are confident rs to the re-
suit. The bourgeois are handicapped by
the standardization with them of the
commune, of which General Cluseret is
q formidable representative, but they are
in the majority now and it will be a hard
task to dislodge them from power.
The Clericals desire more for
their support than the Royalists are
willing to promise. for the latter are
aware that there Is no choice for the
others, and at bottom they have no wish
TO parade too openly as their champions.
THE RUSSIAN CRAZE.
Everything is la Russo now, and at the
salons, such as those OF Madame Adam,
the gatherers pretend to like the caravan
tea and predict that the alliance between
Russia and France is an accomplished
fact. The taking Of the Russian loan has
not disconnected to any great extent the
financiers of London and Berlin, for
though the Northern power has always
met the interest on her securities there
is limit even to the credit Of Russia.
SIGNIFICANT MARRIAGE.
The Royalists attach a significance to
the anticipated marriage of the Grand
Duke Alexis to Mile. Helene d. Orleans,
the daughter of the Comte de Paris. The
match is now spoken Of as u surety, and
the uncompromising monarchists pro-
claim it as the one thing necessary to
transform the incongruous parties of the
Centre and Right into happy family.
There are two things to be considered:
Whether the Gar will think it wise to
give his consent to the nuptials. and
whether by argument or compulsion
Alexis would link his fate to the lady in
question. The Grand Duke has run his
ChIeeL III poIh honlspllereS, anu mas
gained popularity in both. He is con
siderably over 40 years of age, while the
presumptive bride is only II, but she is
quite plain, to say nothing of the dis
parity of age, while he, compared with
other European princes, oan still be con-
sidered model Of manly beauty.
The Morganatic alliance with one Of
his mothers ladies-in-waiting has been
dissolved and the fair one has found a
complacent German officer to shield her
with his name, so there is no question of
scandal

It's oniy a Mexican custom

Senior Romero, the Mexican Minister, says
that he does not believe any such occurrences
had taken place in the City of Mexico as were
stated to have happened in a dispatch from
ElPaso, Texas, purporting to give an ac-
count of great clerical uprising in the Mexi-
can Capital. Senior Romero said that If any
thing of such mag nitude had taken place we
should have heard of 1t by cable via Galveston,
and not received the first intimatlon of the af
fair from such a place as Ell Paso "Be-
Sides" he said, ~ have official dispatches up
to last Friday evening and they don't say a
word about It, II any such thing had hap
pened they would have said something about
IT., especially il 1t had such an ending as is
given in the published dispatch" The Minis
ter added that 1t was q Mexican custom for
every one on the 2sth of December to tell the
biggest yarns he could think of and then laugh
at those who believed them. 1t was sort OF
an American April FOOLS day, and he thought
that perhaps the published story had such an
origin.

WASHINGTON. DECEMBER 81, 1888.
THE DANGER OF WOODEN STEAM
BOATS

The burning of the steamer Bristol of
the Old Colony Line, at Newport Sun
day morning, calls TO mind afresh the
danger in the use of light wooden boats
for passenger service. There have been
three boats of this class burned within
three weeks-two on the Lower Missis-
sippi and the Bristol. There was ter
rible loss of life in one of the disasters
on the Mississippi, and it would have
been even worse with the Bristol had the
passengers not just 'disembarked and the
boat tied up in her slip at Newport. If
she had Seen under way in Long Island
Sound when the fire broke out 1t Is
hardly probable that soul would have
zen saved.
The accounts Of all three disasters unite
! the one fact and that is that the
flames spread with lightning rapidity,
the thin, painted joiner work burning
like tinder. There is nothing much
more inflamable than the ordinary
wooden steamboat. The difference be.
tween the boats of the Old Colony Line
and the Mississippi River steamboats, is
that the former have higher and larger
superstructure and are therefore more
dangerous. 1t is matter of surprise that
these Old Colony Line boats have moi
burned long ago.
The very appearance of a craft of this
description suggests fire. We are no
endeavoring to alarm the public or tc
injure the steamboat business, but. tC
point out constant danger and urge the
greatest precautions; not only to urge
precautions but to advise the building o.
iron boats. The days of the wooder
passenger boat ought to have been de
clared over long ago, just as the close o.
the era of theatres without adequate fire
escapes was demanded by public senti
ment.
If the steamboat business does no
warrant the building of iron boats ther
the business ought to 60 down. But If |
were choice between iron boats ant
boats reasonably secure from fire and NJ
boats at all, we should soon sec whethe
there was enough in the business to jus
tify the use of iron in construction in
stead of great masses of wood that look
as though it was piled together for tn
express purpose of kindling fire.

Description of the Queer Dwelling
Adorned with Skulls.
There are two large posts in front,
eighty feet high, on which rests the
large peaked shade, around which there
hangs q graceful fringe of young sago
leaf. The front is about thirty feet wide,
and the whole length of the house is
100 feet, tapcring gradually down to the
back where 1t is small. Our compart-
ment is about twenty feet high and ten
feet broad.
The front is common platform,
hoOred with the outer skin of the sapo
palm, and kept beautifully clean. The
whole is divided into courts, with di.
visions of cocoanut leaves nine feet high,
on which hang various figures, not at all
good looking From the top of the
cocoanut leaves hang graceful curtains
of the young frond of the saeo palm.
Standing on the platform in front and
looking down the whole length along
the passage or hall, with the various di.
visions and their curtains, it has q won

In each of the courts are numerous
skulls of men, women and children.
crocodiles and bears; also many breasts
of the cassowary. All are carved and
many painted The human skulls are of
those who have been killed and eaten.
The daintiest dish here is man, says the
