ASININE.

"What fools these mortals be-"
can be readily seen from the bad
break the Senate made last
Thursday in the following mat
ter:
"The House bill prohibiting
the throwing of dead animals or
fowls on the streets or private
premises of persons came up
recommended tor passage by the
Sanitary Committee.
On motion of Mr.. Waddell the
recommendation of the commit,
tee was non .cOncurred In and
the bill rejected. The bill on the
same subject introduced into the
Senate by Mr.. Taylor was ta.
bled."
Now, all we have to say to
that is this. We would like,
very much, to chain Mr.. Wad-
dell to the dead carcass of q COW
that has just died of the murrain
and have him 80 remain until the
buzzards shall have ceased pick
the flesh from the whitened bones
Then, perhaps, the eff lvia of de
composition and decaying gases
will bring him to his right mind.
We think Mr.. Waddell has had
the misfortune, if misfortune il
bet is certainly a misfortune
10 the inhabitants of Tennessee
that he should be so afflicted -oi
having been born without a duly
equipped olfactory apparatus
aud consequently he has nc
means of telling the difference be
tween cologne water and very
ancient limberger cheese, or rOt'
ten sauer circuit. We will wager
a straw hat that he can make NJ
mistake between bay rum anC
Jamaica rum, smelling or non
smelling organs. We recon-
mend a special preparation of al
stinks, odors and exhalatiOns b,
prepared for Mr.. Waddell's ben
eft, and that gives as an idea
Mr.. WaddelPs weakness may b.
in that very direction and per
haps he revels in the perfume
that trail in the air after the pro
gress of a night curt. "Famil
iarity breeds contempt" and 70
the good of Tennessee we recon
mend Mr.. Waddell to go to hi
room, shut himself up tight, an,
there invent the most diaboli
stinks thai ever asssiled mOrta
nose, aud then perhaps the en-
ioymentmay pail upon him, an
we can have dead carcasses burn
ed or buried.

Vengeance on the See Yups.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-The as
sassination by highbinders last evening

sensation in Chinatown than any other
happening in years. The streets in
that quarter are crowded tonight with
eXultant members of the See Yup Soci
ETY. of highbinders, who are celebrating
the death of their most powerful enemy
1t is said that the murdered man was
to have received $1,000 for destroying
the See Yup Society, and that he was
backed in his efforts by the Chinese
Vice-Consul, King Owyang. The Con-
sulate is heavily guarded tonight, as it
is well known that the See Yups have
placed price of $1,000 on the head of
the Vice Consul. 1t is understood that
the assassins Of Little Pete" received
$1,000 for their work. The Sam Yups
have been thrown into disorder by the
death Of their leader, but it is ex-
pected that when reorganized they will
execute summary and adequate ven
geance upon the See Yups.

Anti German Prejudice in France.

1t has recently been announced, with
an air of authority, that Lord Salisbury
gave to Sir Edward MaIlet the refusal of
Lord Dufferin's place at the embassy in
Paris but that our then Enlbassador to
Germany refused the offer, prefeming
ito retire from the diplomatic service. If
there is any shadow of foundation for
the announcement, ii could only mean
that Lord Salisbury offered to submit
Sir Edward Malet's name ito the French
Foreign Office, as the late NJ. Wadding-
ton before he died used to assert that he
had put an end effectually to the same
rllrnor which was circulated after Lord
Lyttons death had previously made va
can't the embassy in France Nj. Wad-
dington intinlated at Downing Street in
the most emphatic manner that if Sir
Edward Malet had been our representa-
tive at any other European capital ex-
cept Berlin, his name would have been
gladly accepted at the Quai d'Orsay:
but his Government instructed him to
make it cletarly understood TO the Gov
ernment of the Queen that an Embassa-
dor TO the court of Germany must be
considered as disqualified as candi-
date for that post TO the French repub-
lic.-London World.

Foreign Coins i'm France.

The Cour de Cessation decided to-day
that the possession or passing of foreign
bronze coins was not punishable unless
the accused was shown to have been the
importer or an accessory 1t copse-
quently quashed decision of the Lyons
tribunal ordering the confiscation of
such coins. As if in anticipation of this
ruling, the Chamber to-day agreed to a
bill supplying to such coins clause 135
of the Penal Code, against counterfeit
money. This renders the person know
ingly passing such coins liable to a fine
OIL not less than three and not more than
six times the pretended value. The bill
also empowers confiscation of the coins.
nj. Jourde mentioned that in large fac
tory near Blaye the workmen were paid
in Argentine bronze coin imported at
Bordeaux and costing only one-third of
its nominal value. NJ. Bouge blamed
the Goevrnment for having SO long toll
Grated these foreign coins and for hav-
ing till quite recently accepted them at
Postoffices. He urged the hardship of
Furnishing the poor, who We're now
mostly the holders, and proposed that
the State should accept the coins for a
fortnight and then get rid of them.
Other speakers, however, insisted that
the public had had ample notice, and,
though, NJ. Bourge reduced his fort
nights grace to two days, his amend
ment was rejected by 323 votes to 1S9.
Persons in possession of foreign bronze
coins are to be allowed to re-export
them, though fear was expressed by
some speakers that they might be re-
imported Precautions, however. are
now being taken at the Custom Houses
and no appreciable quantity is likely to
be smuggled over in peoples pockets

down, but just as they were about to tie
him and lift him on his horse. pre-
paratory to carrying him away, a large
troop came up and opened fire. The
horse was shot and five Cubans fell.

nap was a failure, snapped his revolver
in Fondevilla's face, but it failed to
