FOREIGN NEWS.

P A R I S , Dec. 6 —Intelligence has been received here that supporters of Prince Alphonso, son of ex-Qaeen Isabella, have made overtures to Mrrshal Serrano. They, however, continue to be active and hope-ful . A very liberal manifesto has been drawn up and circulated among members of the royal family, to secure their support before its publication, which is expected at an early day.

M A D R I D , Dec. 6.—Marshal Serrano's departure for the north has been postponed until next week.

S A X T A N D E R , Dec. 6 — T h e republican general Salamanca, at Bilbas, is making a diversion upon Orduna, while Gen. Loma is operating simultaneously in Ginpuzcoa. The object of these movements is to weak-en the lines of the Carlist general Mendiri. in Navarre, which now prevent the revic-tualing of Pam pel ana. Opposed to Sala-manca is the Carlist general Magrovijo, and Gen. Egans conducts the defensive operations against the republican general Loma. Five thousand men under the lat-ter have landed at St. Sebastian.

P A R I S . Dec. 6.—The second balloting for municipal councils in those districts of Paris which failed of election last Sunday were held to-day, and resulted in the return of three moderate republicans and two rad-icals.

A meeting of the members of the lef t was held to-day, which the expediency of immediately proposing a dissolution of the assembly was discussed. The views of Mr. Jules Favre, however, were adopted as the sense of the meeting. They were to the effect that it would be best to permit a dis-cussion of constitutional bills first, and await the result, which was sure to be their defeat ; then all the fractions of the lef t should unite in a vote in favor of disso-lution.

L O N D O N , Dec. 6 . — T h e ship .joiners and carpenters in Clyde have resolved not to submit to the proposed reduction of wages and a large number have struck off work.

B E R L I N , Dee. 6.—The federal council has accepted the principle of the Imperial bank and agreed to the conditions submitted by the government for the cession of the Bank of Prussia to the empire. In order to put the proposal in suitable form for legislative consideration, the subject has been refer-red to a committee, and it is expected final action will be reached next month.

Prince Bismark, in the course of his reply to Herr Windherst, in the reichstag said : 44 I am in possession of conclusive evidence that the cecumenical council was cut short on account of the Franco-Ger-man war. The council's votes would have been very different had the French been victorious. I know, from the very best sources, that Napoleon was dragged into the war very much against his will, by Jes-uitical infinences. He strove hard to re sist these influences. At the eleventh hour he determined on peace, and kept his resolution half anhour. Ultimately he was ovtrhowered by persons representing the Vatican."

come. The result of a continued lock-out will be somewhat discouraging, as the fail-ure of the two parties to come to an agree-ment will throw out of employment about 40,0o0 men and seriously affect the iron and coal mining interests of the State.

M E M P H I S , Teun. , Dec. 6.—Three negro prisoners were taken f rom the Pascagoula, (Miss.) jail on the liHh ult. and hanged by the mob.

A. K. Smedley, a young man rssiding in Magnolia, Miss., was shot and killed there on Thursday by a man named Troby. No cause for the murder is known.

A highly respected man named Bowers, residing in the Swiss colony in Grundy County, this State, was called to his door at midnight, Thursday, and shot dead by some unknown assassins.

S T . L O U I S , Dec. 5 . — T h e Globe has a communication f rom Chester, 111., which gives an account of a little boy—brought there a few days ago by two ruffianly-look-ing men—who, f r o m his appearance and the story he tells of his parents ,his former home and surroundings, is believed by the people of Chester to be the long-lost Char-ley Boss. Ue fully answers the description of that boy ; has been taken f rom the men. who had him in charge, and will be re-tained until the parties in Philadelphia can be heard f rom.

JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 5.—Considerable excitement exists throughout the State over the demonstration of the White League at Vicksburg. Well-informed persons think similar outrages will be committed in other counties, as a recent pronunciamento of the Leaguge, pretending to call a State con-vention of tax payers on the 4th of Janua-ry, has been published in all the Demo-cratic papers in the State. The call for the convention recites the woes and trials of property-owners in this county at length, and is quite sensational.

O n f i le W n r - P a t h .

P I T T S B U R G , Pa . , Dec. 6.—The war be-tween the Western Pennsylvania Railroad and Columbia Conduit Company is not yet ended, and to-day assumed a serious, war-like and ludicrous shape. Several days ago the men in the employ of tlie Bailroad Company tore u p the pipe, wasting there-by something near a thousand barrels of oil. The Conduit Company had removed its force, and .the railroad hands found no opposition. This af ternoon rumors were current that the Conduit Company had en-listed a large number of men, when the rail-road authorities sent for reinforcements. About 200 in number were sent on a special train, armed, a la militaire, with guns, bayonets and car:ridge-boxes. The rail-road men built a xedoubt with railroad ties and small forts put up to defeat the enemy should ne come. The fact is, the Conduit Company sent no *.orce out, have no men at the spot near Powers' Bun, ex-cept six or seven men who watch the ene-my and report. Matters may turn out serious, but it is not likely, unless a force is organized in Franklin and Butler Coun-ties, which is not improbable. The Con-duit Company is expected to come into court to-morrow morning, through a svflt in ejectment, as the land belong to them by purchase, and so claim damages for ctting the pipe and wasting the oil.

C L E V E L A N D , Ohio, Nov. 6.—A special to the Herald f rom Conneaut says the store of B. Pot te r & Son, at West Springfield, Pa. , was robbed and burned this morning. The robbers entered the store some time after midnight, blew open the safe and took therefrom $10,000 in bonds and cur-rency belonging to different parties in the vicinity, and then set fire to the building. The flames were discovered at 4 o'clock this morning, but too late to save the building. The stock of Potter was insured for $4,000. A general search is being made for the perpetrators of the crime, who are supposed to belong to an organ-ized band that entered a store in Girard a few night ago. There they blew open the safe, but were fr ighteden away by persons who came to lean the cause of the explo-sion.

W A S H I N G T O N , Dec. 5 . — A fall bench of judges of this District to-day decided that the late grand jury, which indicted the al-leged safe burglars, was illegally chosen, and therefore all indictments found by that grand jury are null. The mat ter came up on the case of Huff, found guilty of steal-ing a horse and carriage f rom the continen-tal Hotel in this city. His counsel appeal-ed, and the case has been decided against the legality of the g m d j u r y

W A S H I N G T O N , Dec. 6.—Senators and members have arrived to-day in large num-bers have arrived to-day in large numbers, and there is no doubt of a quorum in both Houses to-morrow. If one were to judge f rom the gossip and speculation in the ho-tel corridors to-day and to-night, the im-pression would be general that i t was the first session of the Forty-fourth instead of the last session of the Forty-third Congress which is to meet to-morrow. But little is said as to what the later ill do, beyond a general concurrence that there will be little or no important legislation beyond the passage of the appropriation bills. Some of the Western members prophesy that the Bepublican inflationists f rom that quarter will inaugurate a warfare against the spe-cie resumption policy of the forthcoming message, but others say that no such issue will be forced, in the straightened condi-tion of the Reoublican party. Even job-bery, headed by Tom Scott 's mammoth scheme does not seem to meet with much favor.

The civil r ights bill is admitted to be dead.

Some of the wise m9n at Washington believe that President Grant 's recommend-ation of a speedy re turn to specie payments will prove to be a '^fire-brand." Now "fire-brands" are not bad when properly applied.

The rumor that an offensive and defen-sive alliance has been formed between the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, and cotton-tax lobbies, is worth bearing in mind. I t should be remembered, fur ther , that only a Democratic success a t the next election will make i t possible for such a scheme to succeed.

I t is not possible that the Senators who are opposed to the confirmation of Mr. Jewell as Postmaster General can make even a respectable showing when the ques-tion comes u p for settlement. Mr. Jewell has already shown himself to be an Execu-tive officer of whom the Republican party has reason to be proud.

S E N A T E . The Senate was called to order prompt-

ly at noon by Vice-president Wilson. Rev. Dr . Sunderland, chaplin, in the open-ing prayer, re turned thanks to Divine Providence for the many blessings bestow-ed upon our nation, and said : " W e ac-knowledge our chastisements, and pray we may be corrected through them. We be-seech Thee to show Thy favor upon this people and help Government in its great responsibility ; help the Congress of the United States, may the candle of the Lord light them through every difficulty."

Vice-President Wilson then took the Chair.

Mr. Corbett, f rom Rhode Inland, offered a resolution instructing the Secretary of the Senate to inform the House of Repre-sentatives that a quorum of the Senate had assembled, and that the Senate was ready to proceed to business. Agreed to.

Mr. Corbett also submitted an order providing that the hour of n eeting of the Senate should be daily at 12 o'clock, until otherwise ordered. Agreed to.

Mr. Conkling offered a resolution pro-viding for the appointment of two mem-bers of the Senate to join a committee on the par t of the House of Representatives to wait upon the President of the United States and inform him that a quorum of each house of Congress had assembled and were ready to receive any communication he may desire to make. Agreed to, and the chair appointed Messrs. Conkling and Thurman on the part of the Senate.

Mr. Morrill of Maine, f rom the joint select committee appointed at the last ses-sion to Jrame a government for the Dis-trict of Columbia, submitted a written re-port accompanied by Sunday statutes. I t provides for placing the District under a board of three regents, to be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Sen-ate, and who shall themselves ap-point subordinate boards of health, police, &c., the powers of all being minutely determined. The people are to elect three members of the board of educa-tion. All expenditures are to be controiled by Congress. Laid on the table and or-dered printed. The chairman laid before the Senate certificates of election of Geo. F. Edmunds, U. S. Senator f rom Vermont , and of Wm. W. Eaton, from Connecticut, for the term commencing March 4th, 1875.

W A S H I N G T O N , Dec. 7 . — T h e hour pre-ceding the opening of the session was spent by the members in greetings, hand shakings, and expressions of regret or re-joicing over results of recent elections. The galleries were crowded and the corri-dors were almost impassible at noon. The proceedings formally opened with prayer by chaplain Butler, who prayed for the purification of the power of that great en-gine the press. The clerk then called the roll, which showed present 238 out of 301 members, consti tuting those four new members,—Schell and Chittenden, of New York, Carpenter, of South Carolina and Finch of Ohio had the oath administered.

Resolutions were offered by Garfield and and Dawes to not i fy the Senate that the House is in session, and for the appoint-ment of a joint committee to wait upon the President and inform him that Con-gress was prepared to receive any commu-nication he desired to make. Dawes, Hale, of N. Y., and Beck were appointed to serve on the committee on the par t of the House.

Mr. Phelps asked an unanimous consent for introducing for immediate consider-ation of a bill to repeal the law known as the "Press Gag Law."

Mr. George F . Hoar, of Mass., asked whether it was the custom to transact bu-sines before the receipt of the President 's

a message.

Mr. Butler, of Mass.—Oh yes. The Speaker's usage is not to transact business af ter the committee is appointed to wait on the President, until the President has beenfheard f rom.

Mr. Cox—Let the bill be read aud per-haps there will be no objection.

The bill was read. I t amends the sec-ond section of the act of the 22d of June , 1874, by providing that the provisions of the 33d section of the judiciary act of 1779 shall apply in all cases, except in an action of libel, and stands in courts created by an act of Congress in the District of Clum-bia.

Mr. Hale, of N. Y.—I object, unless the bill be referred to the Judiciary Commit-tee.

The House at 12-35 took a recess for half an hour. The recess was fu r the r extended for half an hour,and at the end of the time the President 's message was received and read to the House by the Clerk.

The President sent to the Senate to-day the nomination of Marshall Jewell, of Conn., to be Postmaster General.

The contest for the Wisoonsin senator-ship promises to be an extraordinary one. The candidates are the present incnmbent. Senator Carpenter who is seeking a re-elec-tion, and ex-Gov. Warshbum, and it seems to be the prevailing sentiment that the chances are in faver of the latter. The two weak points in Carpenter's record are his vote for the salary grab, and his re-tention of the money, and his strong efforts last session to secnre the passage of a press gag law. I t connot be denied that Mr. Carpenter's course in these two matters was, in a high degree, offensive. He not only voted for the grab and took it, but was defiant in his manner in speaking of it, and was very far from recognizing the wrong in his conduct. Of all men with the exception of Flanagan, of Texas, he as-sumed the most what-are-you-going-to-do-about it manner. He thought bis services were worth the money, and so he voted for the grab. He needed the money, and so he was going to keep it in spite of his con-stituents. This conduct, and his connec-tion with the press gag law, have alienated a great many of the friends Mr. Carpenter had in the early part of his senatorial ca-reer, and were the cause of the election of a great many members to the next legisla-ture, some pledged for Gov. "Washburn,-

and all, against Mr. Carpenter. Within the past few days two letters have

been written and published—one by Sena-tor Howe and the other by Gov. Wash-burn. Senator Howe's letter is ostensi-bly a calm review of the comparative merits of the two candidates, but is in real-ity, a defense of himself, for he has been guilty of exactly the same things with which Mr. Carpenter has been charged. I t is necessary for his own indication, there-fore, that his colleague should be reelect-ed. He tries his hand a little at Judge Poland's game of proving that the " gag law" has no relation whatever to the press. But nobody has any faith in such proof, for, whatever those who see nothing but *'innocence" in the law may remember, the majority of the people ' have not for-gotten that it was the notorious Shepherd who was chiefly concerned about the pas-sage of the bill, and it was he who, im-mediately after it went into effect, secured the indictment of a New York editor under it.

In the matter of the back pay, he mere-ly charges that Gov. Washburn did the same as Mr. Carpenter, in 1S56. Gov. Washburn did receive compensation under a law which changed the manner of com-puting the salaries of the members of Con-gress, in the year mentioned. The change, however, was simply from the per diem of S8 to $3,000 per annum, and at the same time some perquisites were cut off, so that the amount received under the change was much less than before. Moreover, the law of 1873 was retroactive for a term of two years, while the law of 1S56 was passed as soon as possible after the assembling of the first session of that Congress. The similarity of the two acts, therefore, is somewhat difficult to determine.

In Mr. Washburn's letter he refers principally to a letter written by him in 1871, and produces the letter. Carpen-ter's friends have long threatened to do this, saying that it contained a promise made by Washburn, not to be a candidate against the senator. The letter, however, contains no pledge of any kind, and, for all there is in it, the Governor is perfectly at liberty to pursue any course he pleases to take in the coming senatorial contest. He is certainly not bound by anything he may have said in 1871, to approve of Sen-ator Carpenter's action in the salary grab and "gag law" matters. How he stands on the financial, and other important ques-tions before the country wc are unable to say, but it would be difficult for him to hold wilder notions than those entertained and advocated by Mr. Carpenter.

The contest between the two men is cer-tainly an interesting one, and so far as the discussion goes Gov. Washburn seems to have the best of it. Carpenter appears to be a dead weight on the Bepublicans of Wisconsin and there is a wide-spread dissat-isfaction with him. He has not shown him-self to be the man it was supposed he was. He is brilliant and accomplished, but his public life has not been marked by that consientiousness and statesmenship that people like to see in a United States sena-tor.

S A T U R D A Y ' S debates in the German Reichstag show that Prince Bismarck has now fully committed himself to a conflict without truce or parley with the Church of Home and its German adherents. He has not only carried and put into rigid execu-tion the celebrated Falk laws and given the supervision of all religious organizations to the Minister of Public Worship, but, as our last Berlin dispatches state, he has per-manently suppressed the legation at the Vatican. This act and the views express-ed in bis reply to the Ultramontane deputy, Windhorst, seem to cut off every hope of a reconciliation between the Chancellor and the church ; and Bismarck will now un-doubtedly follow out to the bitter end the war to the knife which he has thus boldly proclaimed.

I t is said that it recommends a speedy re-turn to specie payments, leaving Congress to determine the earliest practicable day I t discusses the propriety of interfering with Cuban affairs ; it treats of the Indian peace policy,civil service reform,Louisiana, Arkansas, &c. I t is said to be an interest-ing and well prepared document. We hope to giva it to our readers in full to-morrow.

The Coldwater Republican of Dec. 5th contains full particulars of the terrible murder—as it seems to us—which occurred at Bronson, on Saturday, Nov. 29th, some particulars of which have already been published in the TELEGRAPH :

The tragedy occurred at a house in the town of Bethel about 2^ miles east of Bronson village, on the Chicago road. The house was occupied by a family named Davis. Mr. Davis is a mason by trade but has been living on this farm for the past few years. His family consists of himself, wife and three daughters—one of them having been married, but two were at home. During the summer Mai tin Bun-nell had worked for Mr Davis, but about three weeks before his time had expired. On Friday Bunnell came to help Mr. Da-vis kill his hogs, and was to remain over night. During the evening Bunnell and a young man named Ashley Sargent had been playing cards. About half an hour before Bunnell retired, this young girl, Aimeda Davis, had gone to her room. The house is divided into two rooms below, and two above, with a lean-to on the back side, which was used as a kitchen. The family were sitting in the kitchen. The door from the kitchen into the main part when open forms a^door to the stairway ; when phut the stairway is open. To get to the girl's room it was necessary to pass through the room occupied by Bunnell at the head of the stairs.

Mr. Davis says the girl had retired about half an hour before Bunnell. After he had gone to bed, Mrs. Davis thinking he might want some more clothing, went part way up the stairs and asked him if he was warm enough. He replied that he was. She then called to Meda and asked her the same question. She made no reply after calling her two or three times. She then went to her room and placed her hand on the head of the bed but did not feel anything of her. She then simply made the remark that "she would settle with her in the morning. As she turned round and came out of Me-da's room Mrs. Davis saw a shadow passing from the stairway to the bed occupied by Bunnell. She now thinks that when she went into her daughter's room Bunnell thought the tragedy would be discovered and his best way was to get down stairs. But when he heard her make the remark above quoted he decided to get to his bed and abide a better lime to get out. Mrs. Davis passed down stairs and shortly after Bunnell came down. Mr. Davis was sit-ting in the door and was obliged to move to allow him to pass out Young Sargent was also sitting near and he says that Bun-nell looked as though he was sick. His boots stood by the outside kitchen door. He put on his boots with his back the the family and passed out. As he was passing to the door he spoke to Mary, Meda's sis. ter, who was sitting near the table writing asking her if she was writing. She simply replied, yes, and he passed out. A short time after this Mary went up stairs to re-tire. She did not strike a light to undress by. She called to her sister but she did not reply.. She then placed her hand upon the bed and found it wet, and moving her hand along further, touched her arm which was lifeless, when the truth flashed upon her that she was dead. She screamed, which immediately brought the family to the scene of the horrid tragedy.

The girl lay diagonally across and down in the bed, having nothing upon her but her chemise and stockings. The body was covered with a blanket. Her left hand was up near her head, while her right arm lay down by her side. On the window sill about two feet from her was the instru-ment that had been used in accomplishing the sad and tragic act. The throat had been cut in several places. Two penetrat-ed the flesh, one injured the winddipe slightly, one cut into that organ, while still another nearly severed the windpipe, and cut the jugular vein and other small arteries.

The neighbors soon came in and the par-ticulars were sent to Deputy Sheriff Den-nis, of Bronson, who immediately resolved to arrest Bunnel as the party who did the deed. He was tracked to his father's house, but the father refused to open the door. The Sheriff broke open the door, and upon searching found young Bunnel under the bed up stairs, fife was arrested and taken to Bronson, and has since been brought to this city. Bunnell's father and mother positively denied that their son was in the house, and had not been for three or four days.

Mr. Davis thinks if there was any cause why Bunnel should do so dastardly a deed it must have been simply jealousy. Bun-nel had asked this girl to go with him to a party on the 4 th of July last, but she then refused. On thanksgiving, the day before the tragedy, he had again asked her to go with him to a party on Thanksgiving even-ing, but she refused. She did go, but with Ashley Sargent and her sister. Mr. Davis thinks if his oldest daughter had bean in bed he would have murdered her too. Meda had evidently gone right to sleep when she went to bed as she was up the night before. There were marks around her nose which show that there had been an effort to smother her and keep her from making an outcry.

An inquest was held on Saturday last over the body and the jury rendered the

" verdict of suicide. As Dr. Beech went up on Monday to

make an examination of the body we called upon him to get his views of the case. He confined his narrative to the spots on the stockings and the marks on the wall and window. He says: ' ' T h e bed is about 17 inches from the wall. When the door opened it would strike against the bed. Probably in committing the crime Bunnell had passed around the head of the bed and reaching his hand over grasped her mouth and nose, holding her firmly. With his other hand he reached around and per-formed the deed. On the wall from the window down about six feet were spatters of blood, growing less in number and size the farther they were away from the head of the bed. The building is made of logs and mortar chinked in between. In this concaAe surface between the logs spattered with blood, were two spots which looked as though they had been rubbed with the hand or foot. The doctor believes these spots to have been caused by the struggles of the girl throwing her feet against the wall, which cause the spots on the stock-ing. If she had stood up on the floor the stockings would have been completely sat-urated with blood and gore. On the car-pet behind the head of the bed were also spots of blood. I t was supposed by some that these might be bloody water spattered there when Dr. Byms washed the body. But Dr. Beech claims that it is pure blood. His explanation is "that when the young man got through he flirted his hands to get blood off from them. This would account for the spatters on the carpet.

There are some marks on the window which could not have been made by the hands of the girl herself. There doctor says they are much larger than his own hands could make placed in the same posi-tion. The prints are believed to be those of a left hpnd, and could be made by plac-ing the fingers on the sill and allowing the razor to slide off. I t is supposed that in the struggle the girl had got pretty well off the bed. I t was necessary for the assassin to put her back on the bed, and to do this had to lay down his razor.

The doctor thinks it must have been about 15 minutes from the time the cut was made until the girl was dead. Dr. Marsh entertains substantially the same views. He was present with Dr. Beech at th examination.

As there have been various reports start-ed in regard to the virtue of the girl, we asked the doctor . the conclusion of the physicians upon examination of the organs. His statement is that the girl had no cause

for sliame. We were allowed an interview with Bun-

nell at the jail on Thursday afternoon. We informed the young man that we came to find out what he had to say with regard to the matter. He said ; Davis sent for me to come up and help him kill hogs on Fri-day. I went down, and after they were killed I intended to go home, but Mr. Da-vis told me that if I would wait until the hogs were cut up, I might take a piece home with me. I did so. After it was cut up I went into the house before going home, and, the night being so severe, Ma-ry asked me if I had not better stay all night. I finally decided to do so.

During the evening they played "pitch" and "seven up" which I know nothing about. After a while I spoke to Mrs. Da-

always did and she replied yes. Reporter—Did Meda retire before you ? Bunnell—She did. Reporter—Did Mrs. Davis come up stairs

to speak to you. Bunnell—She asked me if I wanted any

more covering and I told her no. Reporter—Did she speak to Meda ? Bunnell—She asked her if she wanted

anything more but received no answer. She asked her again %pd Meda got off from my bed, when her mother told her, I will settle with you in the morning. Meda then told me : Mother will not have a chance to settle with me then. Meda then went down stairs and soon came up and went into her room.

[We wish to insert here what Mr. Davis says with regard to this point as wo did not speak of it above. He says, Meda could not have come down stairs without my knowing it. The door, if it had been opened, would have made a noise and we should have aU known it."

Reporter—Why did you leave the house after that ?

Bunnel—Because I feared that when Mrs. Davis told Mr. Davis there would be some trouble as Mr. Davis is a very quick tempered man.

Reporter—Do you know there is some very strong circumstantial evidence against you ?

Bunnell—Yes, I have no one but my-self to swear for me. But God knows I am innocent.

Reporter—Did you not tell your father when you got home that Meda Davis was murdered ?

Bunnel—I do not remember of saying so.

Bunnell is a fine looking young man, not over 22 years of age we should judge. With dark eyes, slender form and not over 5 feet and 8 inches in height. There is nothing malicious in his appearance. He does not appear as nervous as one might naturally suppose he would were he guilty of the atrocious crime imputed upon him.

The examination took place before Jus-tice Purinton on Friday too late for us to make any report before going to press.

—The village Board mee t to-night. —There were thirteen at breakfast in

the county jail this morning. —See inside fo r an account of the Bron-

son tragedy, and interesting State news.

—Don't forget Pike 's Opera House Min-strels to-night, a t Union Hall.

—The Western Union Telegraph Com-pany are about to establish a line connect-ing Kalamazoo with South Haven.

—Prof . Kelley, who taught the graces of the dance here, is now showing the Adrian youth how to touch the light fantastic.

—Pike 's Opera House Minstrels made a fine appearance on the street this afternoon in their parade. They give their first con-cert at Union Hall here this evening.

—Wortley has received the last and one of the most beautiful of the groups of Rogers, 44 The Knock at the Window,' ' which we advise every one to pee.

—The office of police justice at Grand Rapids is not a sinecure. Seven hundred and ten cases have been* tried before Jus-tice McBride within five months.

—L. C. Shorno's grist mill at Hamilton, Van Bnren Co., was destroyed a few even-ing since, with about $5,000 worth of grain and flour. Total loss $7,000 ; insured for $5,000.

—The printing telegraph which is in use at the Asylum for the Insane fo r sending messages f rom the Superintendent 's office to the south wing, is to be extended to the office of the Western Union, on Burdick St.

—Cider that is now in the right stage for dr inking may be kept as long as desired, if put u p in strong glass or stone bottles, with a spoonful of white sugar and two or three raisins in each bottle. I t should be kept in a cool, dark placc in the cellar.

—The new wife of the editor of the Chicago Times, is the third Mrs. Story. She was a dashing widow. Among the presents was one from the bridegroom to the bride, of a deed of a half interest in the Chicago Time*. This is equal to a gif t of half a million well idvested.

—The Michigan Central haye just gained a small victory over their rivals in gett ing the f re ight tariff f rom Detroit to New York established at a lower figure than f rom Toledo. Detroit is 35 miles nearer New York, but heretofore the tariff has been the same f rom both places.

—Let our relief committees see to it that no worthy poor suffer for the want of food and proper clothing. But the lazy and shiftless, who are able to work nnd will not, ought to be pinched a little with cold and hunger. I t is God's way of teach-ing industry and economy.

—J. E. Warner starts for New York the day af ter Christmas, to buy $100,000 worth of the wildest kind of animals for his show next year. Tell all your little boys that they cannot see them unless they are good u p to the t ime the show opens.—Lansing Republican.

—A Mattawan correspondent writes us that on the n ight of Friday, Dec. 4th, a burglary was committed at the drug and grocery store of E. Moore, of that place. The rascals entered by breaking through a sash. A small amount of goods and money was carried off. The burglars were frigh-tened away. No clue has been obtained.

—Delos Drew, the ticket agent of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad, has invented a novel device for the accom-modation of ticket sellers. In consists of a very simple mechanical appliance by which the agent is enabled to have the tiokets delivered into his hand by merely pushing a brass knob under the pile of tickets he wishes to sell f rom. Mr. Drew has made application for letters patent.

— We saw quite a novelty to-day, in what is called a central bracket. Most brackets are made to place against the wall in some position, but the one in question is 'suspended on a pivot, very richly and elegantly carved, and makes a convenient ornament for a bay window. I t can be easily taken apar t and folded u p compact-ly.

The Detroit Daily Post, of Saturday, gives a long account of the performances of a Galesburg boy, Frank L . Corry, in the matter of reading minds. His perform-ances already rival those of Brown, the no-ted mind-reader. Mr . Corry gave a public exhibition of his skill in that ar t at Ypsi-lanti the other evening, .and a gentleman who was present communicates to the Post the following account of the strange things he saw there: He says that Profs . Esta-brook and Bellows, of the Normal School, and Dr. Owen acted as the examining com-mittee, and that every precaution was ta-ken to guard agains d c ption or collusion, while the tests were as difficult as i t was possible to make them. Having blind-folded Mr. Corry, a well-known merchant in the audience passed down two flights of stairs, passed half way round the building, retraced his steps, and passing around in the opposite direction, went to his store, a square or more distant, placed his false teeth in the safe, replaced them in his mouth, and, returning to the hall, report-ed that he had secreted an article unob-served by any one, and asked the mind-reader to lead the way to it. Without hes-itation, Mr. Corry grasped the merchant 's wrist and started on a rapid trot out of the hall, oown the stairways, followed by the committee, first around the building in o r e direction, then in the other, and then to the store, going directly to the drawer in the safe where the the teeth had been a a few minutes before, and finding i t emp-ty, passed his hand slowly up the mer-chant 's arm to his face, with the remark . " T h e article is in your mouth, s ir ,"

A different and even more difficult test was this : A gentleman stated that before leaving his home that evening he had writ-ten four words upon a piece of paper, and then hidden the paper with a view to hav-ing Mr. Corry first tell what the words were, and then find the paper. The blind-folded revealer of secrets, taking the ques-tioner by one hand and with the other pointing to a large card-board containing an alphabet, deliberately spelled out four words, then stepping across the room took from an inside pocket of an overcoat which hung across a chair a glove, from one ®f the fingers of which he drew out a small slip of paper. This he handed to the committee, and to their astonishment they found written upon it the four words just spelled out from the card board- The questioner said those were the words he had written, and he had concealed the paerg), Mr. Hauptman.

W h a t ibay be Seen a t Woitl«y*s« The progress of the fine ar ts in the pro-

duction of artistic ornaments and accesso-ries for the household evidently increases every year, and i t is creditable alike to the artists and the people that the demand for beautiful forms and exquisite workman-ship is steadily growing. A few years ago a handsome bronze dock was rarely to be met with, even in the houses of the lefined or wealthy. Now, there are few houses, making any pretension to taste, elegance or refinement, that are not graced with bronze ornaments of beautiful design and finish, marble statuettes, one or more of Rogers' groups, or some of the graceful and artistic table, toilet and mantel orna-ments, which are so characteristic of the period. This is the age when people de-light in making the home the throne and crown of living—the sanctuary and the bodoir. These reflections were suggested a few days ago while looking a t the very unique and beautiful gold, silver, bronze and other goods, at Wortley*s—larger and richer in quant i ty and material than ever before brought into Western Michigan, rivalling in style and value the contents of the best establishments in the large cities, of a like character. Mr. Wortley takes especial pride in keeping the best of goods and the newest of styles in everything in which he deals. I t is like going through a splendid ar t gallery to see his collection of bronze statuary and figures,—the new groups by Rogers, the exquisite clocks, the charming ornaments in bronze, verd antique, marble, silver,and gold, and combinations of all. He buys these articles because, in the first place, he knows the taste and wishes of the people of Kalamazoo, and believes these things will please them either to behold or pur-chase ; secondly for the pleasure they afford him in making his store a place of beauty and a joy to others ; and thirdly, that he may have them to dispose of if any one desires to buy—satisfied if he main-tains such an establishment here as will do credit to the good taste of Kalamazoo and surrounding country. This it is that has given Wortley " the call" over all competi-tors. He loves his business, takes pride in it and snares no pains to make his store at-tractive.

Had we space to do so we should be glad to speak of the large quantity and the unique beaut}' of the jewelry bijouterie, etc.; the gold and silver-ware; the dia-monds and gems, and the myriads of mag-nificent articles which make u p this un-equalled toute ensemble, bu t it is much pleasanier to go and see for yourselves.

Oa the 29th of the present n o ith, grand vocal and instrumental concert is to be given at Union Hall for the benefit of the new Jewish temple now approaching completion. I t is intended to make this concert one of the best ever given here and one that, by its own merits, should draw a full house. A first-class soprano, and"a violinist from Chicago, will take part in this musical event ; and yielding to the wishes of his fr iends here, Mr. Epstein, eldest son of Rev. Mr. Epstein, of this place, now in St . Louis, will be present and give exhibitions of his mastery of the piano. In this connection we ^ive the following extracts from late St. Louis papers regarding Mr. Epstien's ability :

The instrumental par t of the programme was all good. Prof. Epstein played with great taste, his interpretation of Li zt 's "Fantas ie" being excellent. He is un-doubtedly a magnificent performer, and a valuable addition to the teachers of the Conservatory. All the part ipants in the concert are deserving of praise. There is not room to mention all of them, but Miss Spaeter's performance of Thalberg's " F a n tasie in Son
