TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. p, 1892.

Col. MosBY, who is now as familiar
with Mexican affairs as with those of
t,is country, recently told the Ga
zE1rE's Washington correspondent that
the so-called Mexican "rcvolutionists"
were doing all their revolutionizing in
this country. What he said was true
in every particular The revolution
ISIS are really bandits, who, after
pIundcring farm houses and travellers
on the south side of the Rio Grande,
cross to the north side and by superior
numbers set the Texas authorities at
defiance. As it is an international al
fair, and IS Mexico is friendly ccun-
try the United States, and not Texas,
should correct the evil at once, and
Mexico has good ground for complain
ing that this government has not done
so long ago.

THE CHOSEN SEvEN.-The people in
Coloma, Mich, are aroused against an
eccentric religious sect, known as the
Chosen Seven They are an off
shoot of the Free Methodists, and have
been making thing very lively for a few
days past. The leader is Thurston
Carter, . man about forty years of age,
who has succeeded in getting about
dozen people under his influence.
About the only features of their relig-
ious "crankism" consists in making a
great noise, creating notoricty for the
participants. Eccentricities are the
foundation OF their belief.
The men and women have spells, "
when they tear their clothing in shreds,
and pull their hair from their heads.
Carter. the leader, declared a few days
ago that he had been commanded to
sacrifice his infant child HIS wife OBJ
jected to the command being carried
ont, and by frantic efforts prevented
him from plunging a butcher knife,
which he had in bis hand, through the
child's body.
The anti-Cartertes are now taking
hand, and propose to rid the otherwise
quiet little village of them. The town
became too hot for Carter, and he went
TO Waterville and held . meeting. He
come near being killed by unknown
parties on his way home. He was
seized and treated to g coat of hot tar,
and literally feathered. He swears
vengeance upon the tar handlers.

TIE opposition to an extra session of
the new Congress upon the ground that
tariff legislation is to be approached
with caution and advanced with care,
seems TO most reasonable people to be
the very extreme of absurdity, mas
much as such a session would give those
who are to legislate upon the subject
more time to devote to its considera-
tion

CONGRESS WILL re-assemble to-mor-
row week. During the month of De
cember it was in session forty hours, all
told. That fact is by no means indica-
tive of much other legislation during
the two remaining two months ofthe ses-
sion than the passage of the necessary
and regular appropriation bills. And
yet, if it were so disposed, it could do
some very important and beneficial
work in that time.

HIS Lees SET ON FIRE.-Charl's
Fields is in the Chicago hospital, hor-
r,blv burned about the legs and lower
part of the body. He is the victim Of q
Christmas Joke. Fields had gone to
sleep on a sofa clad in uniform not eX-
actly fitted for street wear. Under the
table was q pan containing several
Jumps of tar. Thomas Files, funny
man who boards in the same house
with Fields, came into the room and
conceived the idea Of tarring the legs OF
Fields. He melted the tar and deity
smeared it on Then hc awoke Fields and
waited 10 hear him say, "Ha ha' but he WIS

so long ago.

Ir WAS an old-time Christmas, in one
respect at least. That was the weather
which was too cold for out of doors
sport and noise. 1t was a quiet one,
therefore, and one that made the FIRE
side, the refrsshment table and The side
board the more comfortable. To many
it was happy and joyous one, and as
sympathy, without material help, is
meaningless breath, nothing need be
said to mar their pleasure by illusions
to those to whom ii was otherwise, ex-
cept to suggest that the wants Of the
latter are still unsupplied.

THE 'TISER ON TEACHERS.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
The mantle of Ka Leo seems to
have fallen upon the Advertiser,
Judging by its article on school
teachers IN its issue Of Tuesday. If
the Advertiser would take the trouble
to inquire it would probably find that
school teachers of these islands are
almost without exception men of
very good social standing.
If the Advertiser expects, indeed,
to find every individual of the 25O
teachers Of this kingdom without
spot or blemish, the chances are that
il will be disappointed. But can the
Advertiser trot out for inspection any
similar number of men or women,
who will average up better than the
teachers of this kingdom? Certainly
not. That trumpet has not blown
yet.
But if the Advertiser considers
that it can abuse one man or set
of men on the ex parte statement of
one individual who may have made
those statements, possibly from in
terested motives, and retain the re-
spect CT its readers, it was never
more deceived. PEDAGoGUE.

THE MARIP0SA.

The Mariposa on her last trip to
the Colonies had a very rough pas
sage from Auckland. The following
account is taken from the Australian
Star Of April lst;
"The II NJ. s. Mariposu arrived
in harbor yesterday afternoon after a
very stormy passage from Auckland.
The vessel was within $50 miles of
Sydney when the gale broke on her
with so much violence that she had
10 be hove TO. For 80 hours the big
powerful steamship made no progress
while fierce squalls of hurricane vio-
lence dashed the tops from the huge
waves and swept them IN binding
spray over the vessel. The sea was
exceptionally heavy and breaking,
and to the passengers, who braved
the deck, it appeared the good steam
ship could scarcely escape being over
whelmed by the mountains of water.
The Mariposa, however, proved a
grand seaboat, and although there
was no shelter on deck from the
binding drift, the big liner shipped
no heavy water, and sustained no
damage whatever. This weather
lasted for two days and half, when
there was a lull and the mailboat
pushed on for Sydney at the top of
her steaming power. The non-arrival
of the Mariposa on Tuesday after
noon, when she was due, caused
some little surprise, as her passages
had hitherto been so regular; but
when Wednesday passed and there
was no sign of her it was generally
taken for granted that she had en-
countered the gale which had given
the coastal shipping so much trouble
and that she had hove to to escape
the heavy beam sea which she
would have TO meet. This proved TO
be the case, and the safe arrival of
the vessel set all anxiety at rest

TO KILL THE BABY KING.

Madrid, April ia most decided
sensation was created to-day by the
making public of a further confes-
sion made by Munoz by the magis.
trate who has charge of the case.
Munoz told the official that at a
secret meeting of the Anarchists lots
were drawn to decide which of the
members should kill the boy King of
Spain. This statement caused much
anxiety and precautions to guard
against the attack upon the King are
being greatly added to. Several
Anarchists under arrest have con-
fessed that an attempt was to be
made to blow up the Royal Palace,
but none until now has acknowledged
that direct attempt upon the life of
the King would be made.
Cadiz authorities have made a
further discovery of secreted dyna-
mite, and much alarm prevails among
the inhabitants. 1t is feared the
May Day demonstrations at Cadiz
will be marked by dynamite out
