parts display the hag of wear the colors
OF this government against insult
brutality and death, inflicted in resentment OF
the acts OF their government and not for any
fault OF their own. It has been desired
in every way to cultivate friendly and
intimate relations with all the governments
of this hemisphere" We do not cOvet their
territory; we desire their peace and prosperity
We look for no advantage in our relations with
them except to increase exchange Of commerce
upon a basis of mutual benefit. We regret
every civil contest that disturbs their peace and
ready to give our good offices for the
restoration OF peace. It must, however, be I'm.
derstood that this government while exercis.
ing it's utmost forbearance towards weaker
powers, will extend its strong and adequate
protection to it's citizens to its officers and to
it's humblest sailor when made the victims
OF wantonness and cruelty in resentment
not of their personal misconduct but of
the official acts of their government.
Upon information received that Patrick Shields:
an Irishman and probably a British subject, but
at the time a fireman Of the American steamer
keweenaw, in the harbor Of Valparaiso for re.
pairs, had been subjected to personal injuries
in that city largely by the police, directed the
attorney general to cause the evidence Of the
officers and crew of that vessel to be taken
upon its arrival in San Francisco: and that
testimony is also herewith transmitted. The
brutality and even SaVagery of the treatment OF
the seamen by the Gillian police would be in
credible if the evidence OF Shields was not sup
ported by other direct testimony and by the dis
tressng condition Of the man himself when he
was finally able to reach his vessel The captain
Of the vessel says: HE came back a wreck;
black from his neck to his hips from beating;
weak and stupid, and is Still in a kind of a
paralyzed condition, and has never been able to
do duty SINCE
A claim for reparation has been made in be-
half of this man, for, while he was not a citizen
OF the United States, the doctrine held
by us, as expressed in the consular
regulations is "the principles which are main
tanned by this government in regard to the pro-
lection, as distinguished from the relief Of sea.

cumstance that the vessel is American, is
evidence that the seamen on board are such,
and in every regularly documented merchant

the 2lst instant, but in my opinion I ought not
to delay longer to bring these matters to the at
tention Of congress for such action as NAV be
deemed appropriate.

New objects of Interest to Admirers of the
Beautiful.
A rare jewel on a slender chain
pleaseS fastidious tastes.
Ornate vases of Berlin ware are
among the new importations.
Safety matches lie concealed in a
miniature little wood basket of silver
Holders for Worcestershire sauce bot
ties are like extra high coasters with
perforated bands.
A glass dish for flowers has an outer
covering of real lace, which has been
overlaid with gold.
Silver gilt spoons with enamel bowls,
and silver gilt bowls with enamel
handles come in the same sets.
Little racks are sumptaous in brass,
Dresden china, Berlin faience and sill
yer. They are large, useful and orna-
mental .-+.a 80.
Silver cornucopias with perforated
borders hold silken bags that close
with cords and tassels. They are in
tended for bonb ons.
Little glass cabinets with ormolu
mounts are intended to hold the little
pieces of faience bric-a-brac to which
allusion has been made.
Trays for sealing letters have an edge
like a crinped rutfle. These hold a
cradle for the seal, receptacle for the
stick of wax, a tiny lamp and muci-
lage pot.
The most exquisite pieces of bric-a-
brac in the form of tables, chairs
screens, sedan chairs, toilet tables of
colored enamels covered with painting
and brass mounted, are brought out for
the holidays
Ob!ong boxes of silver, prettily
chased, have at one end cross bar, at
the other square superimposed box
The rest is to support the curling
tongs; the little box is an alcohol lamp
for heating the tongs.
Since last week the whole town
fairly blooned with coquetish bows of
ribbon, lavender, blue, pink, black, en-.
amel, to fasten the dainty jeweled
watches at the side. Never did fash
ion more quickly spring into life, and
there are few prettier fashions.
The ver-to-bewanted-a and ready ball
of Irvine is luxuriously mounted now
in round silver barrels, the thread
emerging through the bung; now in
silver fruit the thread coming through
the stem, and again the colored ball is
mounted between two ornamental
standards, and this is the prettiest
of all.
Fans are a feature of the season.
Fancy an expanse of gray gauze with
the tiniest lace edge. In the center is
a chic figure in black with a pointed
cap en- her head leaning against a
couple of rails. This landscape meets
imperceptibly into the gray. The old
gorgeous style of ornamentation yields
to this daintiness in monotone.
The ring holders of Dresden china
that were brought out about five years
ago are copied this season in silver. In
the center of the base rises a tapering
column. On this the rings are dropped
until they lodge on a ringed shelf. The
convenience of these ring holders as
we'll as their beauty insures their popu-

GOOD MANNERS.
A Mistake Often Made By Young People in
Society.
Be your natural self and take no
thought of the consequences. Other
people don't observe you half as much
