LORD WoLsELEY is now engaged in
writing the biography of the great duke
OF Marlborough. He affected to have
no great admiration for General Grant,
whom he placed fourth or fifth in the
list of American generals; and as Grant
fills about the same place in American
history that Marlborough does in the
military annals of England, we think
Lord Wolseley cannot have any great
admiration for his subject. 1t is g-eat
mistake to attempt book writing in that
frame of mind.

Failure OF = Stockton Msrcb ant.

STOCKTON. CAL, May LII. o. South
worth, one of the best known business
men of this city, today filed petition
in insolvency. He is member of the
firm of Southworth & Grattan, but the
failure does not affect the business as
bis interest was transferred for the bene-
fit of creditors last January, and is now
in the control OF his partner, who is
wealthy. Mr.. Sodthworth gives his in
debtedness ss 1884, 600, bat includes
claims against corporations on which he
as director is a surety, which reduces
his individual debts 10 100000. The
available assets figure up to $155, 900.
Accom- mediation to his friends and drop
in real estate property account for the
failure.

A German sAloon-Keeper Nearly Sewers
His wife's Head From Her Body.
SALT LAKE, May 1.--Ons OF the most
cold. blooded and deliberate murders
ever perpetrated in this territory oc-
Cured at late hour last night In sa-
loon kept by Charles Tia iede, seven
miles south of the city.
Screams were heard late at night,
after the saloon had been closed. Soon
after midnight Thiede went to neigh
boris house and informed him that his
wife had been killed. Two neighbors
went to the saloon and found Mrs.
Thiede in pool OF blood near the sa-
loon with her head almost severed from
her body. The sheriff was sent for and
arrested Thiede. who first admitted the
crime and then denied it.
The prisoner was brought to this city
just in time to escape the wrath of an
angry mob congregating to lynch him.
Thiede is German. He came here
from New York and is q vicious chArac-
ter. He tried to kill himself this after
noon, but was prevented by the officers.

M. Castillo Found Guilty OF . Heinous
Crime.
The trial of M. Castillo was concluded
yesterday in Judge Smiths court.
Castillo was charged with arson, in
trying to burn down the home of Angus
tin Samosa on Upper Main street. He
is one-legged man, and some OF the
evidence against him was to the effect
that his crutches were heard in the
vicinity at the time of the attempt at in
cendiarism.
The jury found Castillo guilty of arson
in the first degree, and he will be SEN
fenced Monday morning.

pose of examining his bracelets.
"Only the eyes of the figure were Wis

TALAs WITH MoTHERs.-No. 2.

Much is written at the present day about
She care and feeding of infants by people
whose only capability for dealing with the
subject is a fertile brain, and whose only
aim is to appear in print; every mother
knows how unsatisfactory and fallacious
such adviceis when she attempts to follow
it. How to feed the baby is the greatest
problem met with in the happy state of
motherhood, and upon its solution depends
theA1alth, the happiness and the life of the
child. If the mother is able to nurse her
child, the question of feeding is practically
settled; if she is not, she should be guided
by those who have had successful expert
ence in feeding babies and not allow herself
TO experiment with different foods. There
are scores of artificial foods Offered for sale,
but the best IS none too good for the baby.
Eminent authorities who have thoroughly
investigated the subject OF infant feeding,
and scientists who have analysed infant
foods, unite in pronouncing Mellin's Food
to he the only perfect substitute for mothers
milk. 1t is palatable, nourishing and
strengthening; the weakest stomach will
retain and digest it, and the puniest child
will thrive upon it beyond the mothers
fondest expectations.
For cOnValescentS, cOnSumptiveS, dyspep-
tics and the aged, Mellin'S Food is also OF
incalculable value. 1t is food, not medi.
cine, and the system receives the nourish
ment it demands for its daily needs. For
those severely ill Mellin's Food will sustain
recovery when convalescence has been
eStabliS shed.

and their sons and daughters. I regard
Mr.. Astor as q fair sample Of the new
American in England. His money Of
course enables him to do anything he likes
He might stand on his head on the top of
the Duke of York's column or play leap
frog down Pail Mall with Mr.. Vanderbilt.
1t is doubtful, by the bye, If either Of
these performances would make him
cause Of more plying smiles and compass
sionato shoulder shrugs than his forced in
trusion into London journalism or his os-
tentatious purchase of the Duke Of West
minister's Thames bank villa. He has too
much money to let the people who find it
pleasant to know him show what they
really think of his desertion of his own
country. And rather suspect that he
knows very few who are great enough in
themselves to be Indifferent to the money
power he Yields.
There is a class of noblemen among the
English aristocracy who are above any and
all outside influences altogether-men
whom gold does not dazzle. regard them
as the highest type Of nobility In every
sense, and 1 consider the Duk of Nor

sort Of man 1 mean. The Duke of Rut-
land in another. The poorest, humblest
American, were he q gentleman, might
enter the society of these noblemen and be
cordially received by them. But all the
wealth of the Astors and Vanderbilts COM
binedScould not get recognition for its pos
SCISSORS from the same men were there no
other recommendation.
And ] am morally certain Of one thing
buying and hiring grand houses in Eng
land by foreigners for no rhyme or reason
but the exhibition of a bit of vulgar swag-
ger would not be in any sense a credential
Of respectability to them. Much the re-
verse, / should imagine. AS for the Duke
Of Westminster, he is q shrewd man Of
business, and like all the Grosvenors has
as keen an eye to the main chance as
horse dealer or a patent medicine drum
mer. Yet cannot somehow think that
any very lasting friendship has sprung up
between his grace and the American pur-
chaser of Cliveden. Indeed the reported
controversy concerning the right Of prop
erty In the visitors book would seem to
negative the presumption of the existence
of very amicable relations l often won
der how men like Mr.. Astor can wish to
fill fourth or fifth rate position in Eng
land instead of the first place in America.
He cannot at one moment rely on the fact
that he is an American, and therefore the
equal of any man, and at the next set up
as q English country squire or a London
editor, and therefore several pegs below
the dukes and other nobility. He must
make his choice.-Cor. San Francisco Ar
