Thomas McMahon Settle Difficulty.
Judge Hine yesterday suspended sem
tence in the case of Thomas Mcmahon,
charged with practicing the trade of "a
plumber without securing state license.
1t was agreed that he would not again
take up the trade until he had secured the
proper credentials.
The treatment of such cases, as pro-
vided by the state law, is peculiar. After
defendant is found guilty he must be sen
fenced to fine Of $50. The fine must be-
recovered by a suit brought by the state
before a justice of the peace. This pro-
Vision, cited by Judge Hine, led to the
compromise between the principals.

HOW THE BIBLE SELLS.

Several of the literary magazines
publish lists every month of the most
popular books" said representative
of large northern publishing house
who was in the city looking after the
southern trade, relates the New Or
leans Times Democrat. these lists
are compiled from data furnished by
dealers and public librarians at diff
ferent cities. ana the volume that usu-
ally occupies first place is, of course,
the novel that happens to be the fad
of the day. As matter of fact. how
ever, none of them have ever printed

most popular and the best seller, not
alone for this month or last month
but for every month of the year. That
book is the Bible. 1t may surprise

eral colored maps and a very useful
index. The sale of that edition has
been enormous, and has run into the
hundreds of thousands. The wars on
both sides of the water have had a
very marked effect in increasing the
demand for Bibles. You can make a
calculation of the total force in the

London, July 27.-All the powers APP
pear to have received an identical Chi
nese appeal for mediation, but in the
absence of definite news regarding the
fate of the ministers and of any reli-
able indication of the original origin of
| the appeal, it seems that Lord Sails
bury, the premier, considered il was
not even necessary to publish the fact
that the appeal had beeI received or
to do anything beyond formally ae-
knowledging it, with perhaps an init
nation that nothing could be done I'M
til news from Picking had arrived.
If it could be ascertained beyond
doubt that the reports of massacre at
Peking were unfounded--and there is a
disposition here to believe that the
ministers may, after all be held as
hostages Lord Salisbury's policy
would probably incline more toward
the Cancellation attributed TO Wash
ington than to the revenge attributed
to Berlin. But while there is no cessa-
tion of the deluge of rumors, it is be-
beginning to be believed in Shanghai,
Canton and other points that the vice
roys are as completely in the dark as to
affairs in Pekihg as the Europeans
themselves.
