States report that tofcil gross hank exchang--es
for the week ending December 19 were
$1,096;914.659, an increase of 36. 1 percent,
compared with the corresponding week a
year ago.
The N. Y. Tribune's cablegram says:
While Gladstone denies the accuracy of the
published statements, still it is not denied
that he has resolved on conceding the prin
cipal of home rule. The conviction is uni
versal among the English of all parties that
Gladstone means to crown his career by
carrying through Parliament an Irish
scheme satisfactory to Parnell.
The liberal press in Russia is urging an
alliance with England as the sole means of
settling the E ustern question and punishing
the perfidy of Germany and Austria.
The City Bank of Houston, Texas has
failed for $500,000. It was regarded as one
of he souudest and best in the state.
Many poor people were among the deposi
tors. The Marquis of Hartinston publishes a
card, saying: ""No proposals in regard to
the demand of Iris.li members for legislative
independence has been communicated to
me. I see no reason to depart in any de-
-owe from the declarations I made and the
opinions I expressed in my speeches in the
li.te election, in Lancashire and elsewhere,
hi the policy announced by Mr. Parnell as
loader of the Irish parliamentary parly.'
The Gamden Consolidated Oil Company
of Parkersbnrg, VV. V.-., has suffered a loss
wf -ver $50,000 by three forged drafts. It
ja.not known who the perpetrators of the

prises destruction in nineteen of the thirty-
four districts of the islands. 1 he rein nn

and China to Li Aung I hang, the Chinese
Prime Minmter.
On account of the increased denriud f

MBioailv eharaetenstlc Of both JfiQtflaiM
and Gladstone. In no other couutry conl
a project which five years ago have lieeu re
garded as the universal extremity of treas
on be so suddenly sprung on the public,
and so seriously discussed as the matter of
Irish home rule. Ofcouise Hawarden aud
Windsor are at war. A story reaches me
to-night on absolute authority, that Glad
atone did write to the queen, stating his
views about home rule. She was enrage ;
sent for Lord Salisbury, and gave him Glad
stone's letter. He only said it was an in
discrete thing for Gladstone to do, and that
he never could keep his pen oft from paper.
A dispatch from the Creek Indian nation
says: "The four delegates who were re
cently appointed to represent that nation
in Washington this winter, and who started
for the capital last week, are uuder unoffic
ial instructions to urge the adoption by
congress of a territorial government for In
dian territory. It is stated that a majority
of the people in the territory are in favor i
such action."
The estimates of the superintendent of
the coast and geodetic survey for the next
fiscal year amount to $568,000. Included

the re-survey of San Francisco bay and ex
amination of the San Francisco bar and en
trance tosthe harbor, and of the mouths of
tho Sanramento and San Juau rivers, a work
which, in the opinion of the superintendent
has been rendered
Randall has prepared a bill b.r introduc

would be necessary only in case a vacancy
should occur simultaneously with the vacan

secretary of state and other cabinet officers,
have the right of succession during the

Newport. Dec 14, 18S5.
Editor Yaq:-ina Mail: There is a man
at present stopping in this town who tells a
story that sounds as strange as one of Baron
Munchausen's tales, but the man is certain
ly not '-razy, and appe irs to be a man of
intelligence and large experience. Now,
what he tells may be known to the scientific
world, or it may be yet a Government
secret, but I certainly think the facts as
stated by him are new to the general pub-
aud so far as my observation goes tne
pers have bad but little to say on the
subject.
He states that he came out from England
to Victoria on one of the torpedo boats.
Two w ere sent out and are now at Victoria.
Their names are the Shore and Serf. He
says that they carried a cre.v of eighteen
men; that they made most of the passage
under water at a depth of about six fathoms;
that they made twenty-six miles an hour,
aud that only one bucket of fuel was used
in the whole passage; that they had no use
for fire-men or engineers, but that the
motive power used was electricity and hy
draulic, and one man managed the entire
business. He states that none of the crew
were allowed to even look at the machinery
by which the boat was propelled. They are
both of ahout 300 tons each and 305 feet
length. They could sink below the surface
at will, and arise to the surface when the
weather is fine, and could in five minutes
take in air enough to allow them to remain
under water three or four hours. They
cruised in the Bay of Biscay, aud were ex
perimented with and tested. They then
crossed the P tlantic and down the Straits of
Ma ellan. Two convoys a companied them
the Thunderer and Galatea, but the tor
pedo boats had to constantly wait for them.
In bad weather they would remain under
water and move along among the fish as
quietly a:s on a 'a';e, and the crew were as
comfortable though sitting in a house.
Tn oivinir this storv I cannot vouch for
one word of it. I only give it as the man
states, and h is here tn speak for himself.
But if it is true it sems to one it is indue 1
wonderful and he 1'otg dre -m of displacing
steam is at last realized.
We have heard for many years of the
Keely Motar until it has become a jest:
rkon it u-sia ,1 dme 1 that a locomotive could
be run cross the continent from New York
to San Francisco on a thimble fn'l of water.
Such stories are published, read and laughed
at. But how much less strange is it that a
vessel of 300 tons can be sent from England
to the Pacific Joast on a bucket of fuel, ami
lriven along at the rate of twenty six miles
per hour-not over the water, but under
and through it. Many of your readers have
doubtless read Jules Verne's story of "Twen
ty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. " If
these statements be true, Jules Verne',
vision has become ;i reality. But my object
in sending you this communication is not
merely to give publication to a strange
story, but to call forth, if possible some
information on the subject. We all know
that experiments are constantly being made
with electricity as a motive power, and we
know that many wonderful results are
1 iined for it But. i it known that it has
yet taken the place of steata in our couutry
auv iirac.tic d oumose? And we have
bad many stories in our papers about torpe
do boats and the wonderful things perform
u.l i- them but. have we anvthing in com
parison to this achievement, if true? It
these boats can be driven under the water
,t tl.B r;itfi of sneed claimed, they could
. , o
live down at V ictoria and pop up in o
Francisco harbor the next day. and wdiat
war vessel couia coiiLeim wnu men,.
ships would be but playthings, and harbor
fortifications they could laugh at.
To sum up the whole matter, has Lnglan
stolen a march on the rest of the world and
;iveu the first great pr .ctical demonstration
if the startling ind wonderful revolution in
motive power anrt ocean navigation, ."" "

steel, and U cigar-shaped, with a glass con
ning tower in the center, from which the
commander can keep a lookout. There are
three engines, one to work the screw in the
stern, which propels the vessel, aud two to
work the propellors on either side, which,
when set in motion, compel- the boat to
s:nk. aiid maintain her at a eertaiii depth
below the surface. The motive power is
steam, and her speed, submerged, is only
three miles an hour. The enormous utility
of such a vessel as this, or the one described
by Gapt. Winant, in naval warfare is at once
apparent. Moving without the Uightest
apparent sign of its existence, she can
launch torpedoes against hostile vessels,
enter a harlmr unpreceived and render use
less the most complicated system of sub
marine mines. It will be seer that there is
a remarkab:e difference in the invention of
Mr. Nonlenfelt and the boat described by
Capt. Winant, and said to lie in Victoria,
ii, that the former is run by steam power
and the latter rnn by electricity; the former
making three miles per hour and the latter
twenty six miles per hour. It is as Capt.
Winant says. "Has England slolen a m irch
on the rest of the world in this invention?"
or is it a grand hoax?
SHERIFF'S SALE OF REAL PROPERTY
Speaking of "Girl Life in India," the
Christian Ah-o-ate says: The little girls
are married as young as three years of age,
and should the boy to whom such a child is
married die the next day she is called a
widow, ami is from henceforth doomed to
perpetual widowhood she can never marry
again. As a widow she must never wear
any jewelry, never dress her hai-, never
sleep on a bed, nothing but a piece of mat
ting spread on the hard brick floor, and
sometimes in fact, not even that between
her and thecohl bricks; and, no matter how
cold the night might be, she must have no
other covering than the thin garmemt she
has worn during the day.
She must eat but one meal a day, and
that of the coarsest kind of food; and once
in two w eeks she must fast twenty-four
hours. Then not a bit of food, nor a drop;
of water or medicine must pass her lips, not
even if she were dying. She must never sit
down nor speak in the pn senc.e of her mother-in-law,
uoless they cunmiu l her to do.
Her food must be cooked and eaten apart
from the other woman's. She is a disgraced,
a degraded woman. She may never even
look on :it any marriage ceremonies or festi
vals. It would be an evil omen for her to
do so. She may have been -. high caste
Brahminic woman; but on her becoming a
widow, any, even the lowest servant, may
order her to do hat they do not like to do.
No woman in the house must ever speak one
word of love or pity to her, for it is supposed
that if a woman shows the slightest com
miseration to a widow she will immediately
become one herself.
It is estimated that there are 80,000 wid
ows in India under six v "rs of age.
Notice is hereby arive- that by virtue of a decree
