from oppression of non-resident land

some of the most prominent of the Amer

but expressed tbe deepest interest in the
posture of affairs in Ireland, and predict
ing that a benefit to the working classes
of Ireland would eventuate from present
disorders. An address was issued to the
people of the United States embracing in
strongest terms the ideas expressed by the
various speakers. It alludes to the diffi
culties under which the Irish people
labor in procuring a living; to the hard
ship which the present system inflicts ;
to legislation hostile to their interests
wnicii bas been enacted : to tbe numer
ous instances of personal cruelty to ten
ant; to the decrease iu population by
famine and exodus, and to the gloomy
situation of to-day. It calls attention to
tne better land laws of other countries,
and protest against the attempt of Lord
Beaconsneia to prevent tne last means
left them to secure reform by agitation.

Parnell and his colleagues have uronosed
a just and sensible method for a desired
betterment of affairs, and the American
people are pledged to remain deaf to tbe
appeal for sympathy and reform. The
Irish people are urged not to allow zeal
to outrun discretion, and are, in conclu
sion, assured of support not only of the
peume oi uie unuea states out oi tne

T Trial t Kajor Reno at Fast Meade.
Dbaowood, Dec 4. The Seno ' court
martial which has been sitting at Fort
Meade since Saturday last, has examined
about fifteen witnesses, all of whose test
imony was favorable to Reno, in that,
while admitting his inebriety, he showed
no particular malice towards Lieutenant
Nicholson with whom he had an alterca
tion in the officers club room on October
25th. That night Reno was under the
influence of liquor. He struck Nicholson
on the arm with a billiard due, breaking
the cue and Nicholson threw him on tie
floor. Nicholson provoked tbe assault
by saying he could whip Reno. This was
tne extent oi tne trouble that mgnt.
Un August 8tb, Reno, while in the club
room, knocked out two lights of glass.
Federal officers testified that they had
seen many worse things happen in tbe
club room on different occasions.
Post Trader Fanshaw testified that
Reno and several took supper at his
house on August 3d, and the accused was
slightly under the influence of liquor, but
did not insult Fanshaw or wife.
To-day Miss Ella Stureis. daughter of
the post commander, testified that on the
mgnt or November mtb, while sitting in
the library, she was statled by hearing
some one tapping on the window, and
going there to see who it was her eyes
met Reno's, wmcu irigbtenea ner nearly
to death. She saw Reno only a few sec
onds. My first impression was that he
would shoot me if I moved. I thought
he had hard feelings towards father.
Reno's face was pale and looked desper
ate. .
General Stureis testified that he was
nailed out of bed by his wife on November
10th, and going down stairs found both
his wife and daughters frightened. He

and dissipation at that post, the extent of
which has just been revea.ed to him by
the evidence produced at court martial.

Bah Fbamcisco, Dec 3. The arguments
on the question of whether the old or the
new city officials have a right to their
seats between tbe present date and tbe
first Monday in January were continued
betore the supreme court torn morning:
After recoss this afternoon Judge Wallace
said that the decision of the lower courts,
which gives tbe offices to the Dew offi
cers, was affirmed, and that the decision
would be filed to-morrow or the following
day. This decision places the new -officers
in their positions from 12 o'clock
yesterday. Then was a general feeling
of relief around the new City Hall when
the news was telephoned that the su
preme court had decided in favor of the
incoming officials. In anticipationlof the
decision all tbe old officers located at the
City Hall affected by the decision were
prepared to take leave of their offices,
and had their records and books in a
condition to be examined, so that nothing
was really left to do but to make the
formal transfer. In the treasurer's office
the money will have to be counted, which
will necessarily consume a day or two,
and before the old treasurer turns over
the treasury to his successor, he will re
quire some twenty-five or thirty receipts
for moneys and ,otner valuables transferred.
To-night Mayor Bryant will read bis

- At the andual meeting of the Mexican

were nearly $700,000. Overdraft due the

dent in his report, after reviewing the
operations of the year, closes. "Although
no actual developements of value have
been made in the mine during the past
year, yet it is know n that the exiftence of
an ore body in the Union Consolidated
ground on the north, and the Hardy vein
in Ophir, which bas produced over $200,

kenin connection with tbe)fact.of the great
improvement shown in our ground as a

and the killing of another : Sheriff Moore
of Mendecino county, left Chico a few
days ago in company with Mr. Stanley
and a few others, determined to make
another attempt at the capture of the

lieve that they were secreted in Butte

was certain. Seeing that it was impossi

immediately oroke for tbe (hick brush
near at hand. A volley was fired after
them and Billings fell mortally wounded.
lirown and Gauuts made thoir escape by
running in opposite directions, followed
by a posse oi tne snerin l party. Gauatz

FOREIGHV
Th Brilliant and Koral Wedding.
Madrid, Nov. 29. Tbe weather had
improved in the morning to such a degree
that as early as 7 o'clock the streets and
balconies were thronged with people and
much animation prevailed. Many houses
had been decorated and triumphal arches
are erected at various points. Everybody
is speaking of the marriage of King Al
fonso and Archduchess Maria Christine,
which would take place in the afternoon.
In the morning the bands of the regi
ments quartered in the city played a re
veille before tbe Royal Palace and after
wards marched through the principal
streets. The royal wedding was solemn
ized at Atochi church according to the
programme. The bride left the Pardo
Palace in the morning for the ministry
of marine, where apartments had been
prepared for her, in which she was robed
for tbe marriage. King Alfonso left the
Royal Palace for Atochi church shortly
before 11 o'clock. He was accompanied
by Archduke Renier, and was preceded
by eleven carriages, containing his
mother, ex-Queen Isabella, the Princess
orAustnrias and other members of the
royal family, grandees of Spain and court
dignataries. The bride approached tbe
church by another route. She was ac
companied by her mother and was prece
ded by four carriages containing ladies of
bonor and court dignataries. Tbe bride
was ricblv dressed in white and wore a
diadem of brilliants and . insignia of the
Marie Louise order. Troops lined the
streets through which tbe procession
moved. Tbe Atocnt churcn was splen
didly iUumidated and decorated with
silken draperies. Tbe diplomatic bodies
and bponisn g andees and a deputation

A.IVKBPOOL nov. A meeting, the
attendance at which is estimated at 15,
persons, was held opposite St Georie's
Hall to-day. Parnell fully endorsed She
speeches for which the recent arrests
Ireland were made. He strongly denou
ced the action of the government, which
he predicted would utterly fail in its ob
ject. The agitation against landlords, he
said, wonid be continued. Kesolutinns
moved by Parnell and carried with en
thusiasm, are to the effect that the arrests
are arbitra-y, unconstitutional and calcu
lated to weaken the confidence of the
people of Ireland in the impartiality of
the law, and that the government which
squanders the blood and treasure of the
people iu uniust wars abroad, while mis
ery and famine are unrelieved at home,
stands condemned iu the eyes of all right
minded and thoughtful men.

LMTfs sad Tamnlteas Meeting.
London, Nov. 30. The gathering in
Hyde Park to-day in response to a call
for organised demonstration in favor of
the Irish agitators, consisted of an im
mense mob. A fair sprinkling of green
favors was observable, but by far the
greater number of persons present seemed
to be attracted more by curiosity than
sympathy.. A goodly number of bands of
music enlivened the march from Trafal
gar-Square, and many -banners were dis
played, but not all or these belonged to
the home rule associations. The proces
sion was swollen by the Tichborne re
lease association, the democratic work
ingmen's club, and similar bodies, not in
any manner connected with Ireland or
Irish agitation. Tbe orators of these out
side associations addressed separate
groups, while the mam meeting was in
progress m the park. One of the princi
pal speakers of Irish sympathy meeting
proper was Wm. Archer Redmond, borne
rule member for Wexford. Tbe speakers
were surrounded by a dense throng
which cheered so enthusiastically as to
render the speeches utterly inaudible,
except perhaps to those on the stand.
The resolutions protesting against the
recent arrest of Irish agitators and de
nouncing present proprietary in Ireland
were carried by acclamation. The less
noted speakers, particularity at side
meetings, used most seditious lamrnace'
and . their utterances seemed to create
ranch amusement. The authorities had
apparently taken no preparations what
ever ior order, aa only three policemen
were in the vicinity of : the meeting.

London, Dec 3. A correspondent at

is the only possible course open for the

sumed by the majority. Nobody will be
able to comprehend bow the minority, so
strong as that of the present hamber of
deputies on wbicn the government has
been leaning ror ten montbs, can declare
that it will not support this very cabinet.
except on the condition of framing the
programme and imposing this on it, for
every individual deputy has the right of
submitting an army bill, and an interpel
lation followed by tbe order or tbe day
is a device only to enab'.e'the majority to
show the ministry the withdrawal of its
confluence, in discussing the probable
vote of confidence, which will end the'
crisis by consolidating the ministry, the
correspondent says : It seems bevonu a
doubt this vote will be given, because the
left is not acting in common accord. A
certain faction of the majority will resist
the fame of the cabinet and will force the
majority not to upset the ministry which
Gambetta does not wish to succeed, and

containing baggage was on the way hither,
an explosion occurred. One baggage van
was blown to pieces and seven carriages
were thrown off the rails, but nobody was
injured. The explosives which destroyed
the imperial baggage train are stated to
have been placed on Monday evening un
der tbe rails at a point which tbe imper
ial train would pass just before entering
the Moscow railway station. The czar
arrived safely, however, at 11 Monday

when he spoke as follows:; "Qentlemm :

Th S ssassiB Plana.
Moscow, Dec 3. A person who was in
the baggage train at the time of the ex
plosion, says that a baggage train of 14
carriages and two locomotives was dis
patched half an hour before the train
carrying the Emperor, but by a fortunate
chance the czar's train overtook the bag
gage train, passed and left it some dis
tance behind. The explosion attracted
the police and a crowd of people, who
were loud in their expressions of horror.
Telegraphic communication was inter
rupted ror a while, owing to tbe posts
having been blown down by the explo
sion' Two railway omdials, who were in
tbe immediate vicinity, were badly in
jured. Tbe - perpetrators doubtless
thought ' tne czar was in the
second train. The public prosecutor and
magistrate soon arrived. - A letter was
found in the court yard of an empty
house. Concealed under the snow a wire,
connected with a battery in an outhouse,
from which passing trains could easily be
seen, was found.. The house was bought
in September by a yonug maa who w s
observed digging in his cellar bv bis
neighbors but disarmed suspicion by de
claring that bis reason for doing it was to
obtain sand, rrom this cellar was dug a
passage in which a train of powder
was laid connecting with a mine nnder
the railway. More wires were found be
hind the wall paper. It 14 supposed that
several persons were engaged in tbe
work.
St. , Petersbcg, Dec 3. The official
account of the attempt to destroy the im
perial tram on Monday night states that
the explosion occurred as the baggage
train was entering the Rogoeh quarter of
Moscow. Tbe train was turown off the
rails, aud one baggage van and two pas
senger carriages thrown right across the
line. The explosion caused a gap in tbe
permanent roadway four feet and eight
inches deep, 16 feet long and 18 teet

The Reward Offered fur the Capture of

: " The Uses of adversity.
We heard a story lately which inter
ested us gjatly , as a striking instance of
"taking the bull by the horns." As tbe
conseqaence of an unfortunate specula
tion, a family suddenly reduced from
affluence to penury. The blow was a
terrible one, and for a brief period the
Whole family seemed paralyzed: bnt it
was the noble-hearted wife who first
roused herself, and bravely prepared to
act with decision. The only pittance
which remained was less than a hundred
a year,and this sfor people who had been
accustomed to horses and carriages, and
to fare sumptuously every day, and with
seven children to feed and to clothe t Of
coarse, the father looked out for employ
ment which in some measure reestablish
his position; but fortunes are not re
made xa a aay or a year; and his wife,
delicately reared and accustomed to a
large establishment, resolved as a step to
discharge every one of the servants.
"We have health and we have hands,"
she said,; or at any rate nsed words to
that effect speaking to her children. "We
most work; and what we do not know
how to do we most learn." Of course,
the first tiling was to remove to a small
house, one only just roomy enough to
contain its several inmates. But not
even a "general servant'' accompanied
them. A frugal system of diet was
adopted, in which we believe oatmeal
played a considerable part, and every
purchase was made in the cheapest mar
ket This rare lady - had a horror- of
pauperism, thosgh she had not the un
grateful pride which would have made
her decline all help offered to her
children.. They were taught to keep
themselves in more ways than one; and
when the darkest days were over, and
the "silver lining" of the cloud began to
show, there is a good reason to
believe that she felt more of the good
that had been bidden in the trouble.
After all, the time waa not so sad as it
seemed. We may be pretty sure that it
sifted friends in a wonderful manner ,and
that it was found that the true and loyal
were to bs met within all classes. Some
acquaintances, of course, dropped off;
bnt it is doubtful if adversity tests
friendship more that does prosperity.
The rich and happy are much envied,
and sometimes slandered; but the best
feelings of the best people are generally
drawn towards those in trouble. We
fancy, too, that the brave lady of whom
we are writing did not allow herself to
be ashamed of her poverty. If people
whom she had visited in other days on
equal terms drove up to her little parlor
without any lachrymose manner; though,
perhaps, if very busy starching or iron
ltg, she kept them waitings few minutes,
making dne and truthful apology for do
ing so, under these circumstances, it is
very likely that her hand, though
rough and hard from household work,
was pressed with more than - usual
warmth' by delicately gloved fingers.
Now, if that wife had been content to sit
bemoaning her helplessness and misfor
tune, while appealing right and left for
aid, what an inferior position would she
now be in, not only in reference to
worldly affairs, bnt m regard to the es
timation ' ef her -rlaracter. Besides,
energy is very conitgious, and hers must
not only have cheered her husband in his
trouble, but most have been communi
cated to her children. The constant
occupation, too, was the very best thing
for them all; it left no time for mere
fretting; and, probably, natural fatigue
from physical exertion ' prevented
anxious thought from keeping them
awake at night. No doubt our heroine
was very glad when - brighter davv
dawnei again, and she could return to
more-congenial occupations than sweep
ing rooms and lighting fires, but we be
lieve she would do just the same as be
fore should the same terrible occasion re
occur. ChambeT'eJaurmal.
The suffering Saltan.
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian, writing on
the 24th of September, give's a gloomy
account of the state of affairs on the Bo
phorns. He says:
. The supposed attempt to assassinate
the snltan has m&da a deeo imnreasion.
and Abdul Hamid is now brooding over
the stormy scenes and violent events
which had rendered possible his advance
ment to the throne. Uarlv rumors are
floating about as to mental derangement
and wild measures being instituted to
give a fancied increase of security to the
Enlace of Yildiz, and though it would be
ardly safe upon such grounds to assert
that tbe present enltan was going tne
way of his predesessor, it is certain that
the unfortunate monarch at the present
moment is suffering from great nervous
depression, and can hardly be brought
to pay the necessary , attention to public
affairs. While gloom and distrust reign
at the palace, anger and despair have en
tered every Turkish household at Con
stantinople. Discontent is hardly the
term for the feeling with which the
present state of affairs is viewed by the
people in general; for the language of
individuals when they find themselves
free to express their thoughts is disloyal
in the extreme. How can it be otherwise
when, aftet months of patient waiting,
they find matters going from bad to
worse; and the promised amelioration as
far off as ever? The last Bairam has
been anything but a season of joy; for
the straggle to keep the wolf from the
door has left nothing for feasting. For
the first time within the memory of any
one at Constantinople, perhaps in the
history of the Turks since they first be
gan to form a nation, the troops did not
receive a month s pay either in Kamazan
or Bairam. Only the officers received
half a month's pay, and even this relief
was not extended to all, while the rations
upon which these families depend for
food nave been railing into arrear. The
people are cowed, and among themselves
hardly venture to air their grievances
for fear of the secret police. I have
heard lately of one officer who ventured
to present a petition to the Saltan having
my stenonsiy disappeared. Jits unily
have sought for tidings of him in -nun,
and the supposition is that be is aaw on
his way to some distant place of exile for
having spoken too plainly of the distress
among the poorer officers, tulortu'
nately for the people, the scarcity of
money, and the distress it occasions, is
not brought home to the ministers and
the heads of departments. Ihey always
manage to secure their largo salaries
whether debts remain unpaid. - No steps
nave yet been takes for the reorganiza
tion of the police and gendarmie. or the
redaction of the army and navy.. The
imperial trade was signed lor the dis
banding of some seventy-five battalions
during the Ramazan, and it was said that
the men would be sent to their homes
immediately after Briramr bnt appar
ently the Scraskeir tte has not been, able
to provide the necessary money for pay
ing even a portion of the arrears due to
the poor soldiers, and the arsenal for the
same revon cannot furnish the neces
sary transport.

A Hlue&ut Eelle.
. An historical human cranium has j
been found in the Church of the IT -'
Trinity, in the Minories, London. T
weight of evidence seems to show t
this grizly relic is the head of II
Grey. Duke of Suffolk. ili rr

Jane Grey, the wife of Lord 'Jr....
Dodley. The Duke of Suffolk, v '
his hapless daughter wm in the 1
awaiting the pleasure of the stern 1
whose throne the poor girl Ls i l '
few days reluctantly usurped, joir- i ;
rebellion fomented by L;i Jt
Watt, and, being subsequently cap-. :
was brought to London, tried,
and beheaded on Tower Hill. A v
posse or antiquaries ' have natj:
rushed into print oa the "nce!i
relic" question .and are charactf-ristu
at loggerheads over the Duke t
Suffolk's skuU. One gentleman st
mines that the head may belong to 1 .
noble house of Dartmouth; but snotL
learned pundit points out that, in t
sixteenth century, the Lepge tarn -were
settled in Ireland, and, ia 15&4,had
hardly attained sufficient social rank to
entitle them to be beheaded when it oc
curred to them to commit the crime of
high treason. Thus it may be borne ia
mind, says the Daily Tdegraph,i.uX the
various degrees of butcherly etiqnff a
were scrupulously observed in the
executions which followed Wyatt's
revolt The Duke of Suffolk was decari-
tated, but Sir Thomas was hange4,
drawn and quartered at Tybura;
whereas the traitors of the meaner sort
were merely hanged and mutilated at
the top of the acclivity called Hay HiL ,
Berkeley square. On the other hand it
has been contended that the property in
the head lies , either in the Duke of -
Buckingham and C bandog or in the ear
of Stamford and Warrington, while an
other enthusiastic amateur of ghastly
sight proposes that the ugly thing
should be placed in a glass case for ex-
in union in uie national l'orrrait
Gallery. At all events, it seems expedi
ent that something definitive should be
done with the head, and that speedily.
For many years, it is Btsted, the sexton
or the clerk at the Church of the Holy
Trinity has been in the habit of exhibit
ing the potential head of Henry Grey,
Duke of Suffolk, to curious parishioners.
It has been kept in a box, and from con-
tinuous handling much of the hair and
beard have been worn away. At present
it is understood that the church in tii
Minories will, ere long, "be demolished
to make way for -a further extension of
the Metropolitan railway. - In view of
this contingency, it would certainly be
advisable ta find an asylum for the head,
and at least one proposal marked by
common sense has been made, to the
effect that the "relic" should find decent
interment in the church of St Peter ad
Veticula, on the Tower green. If any
lineal descendenta of the Duke survive,
and care to rescue the memory of their
ancestor from oblivion, it is quite open
for them to seek the permission of Her
Majesty to place a suitable inscription
on the tablet over the " niche where the
head found final sepulture. Othervuie
there is really no great reason why the
present generation should trouble itself
about the cranium of this decapitated
Duke. There are several heads now
lying in museums. The Prepaganda uy
Rome have, or had, or should have, i
head of Father Gsraett the
English Provincial of ths Jew-ait, tha
was judicially buteheredijs' St Paul's
churchyard for beiujPFrvy to the gun
powder plot '- The head of Fisher,
bishop of Rochester, who was decapitated
in the reign of Henry VTH., has found
its way, oddly enough, to the Ambrosial
library at Milan, there is also, not the
head, but the heart of Lucrezia Borgia,
the celebrated and much maligned con
sort of Alfonso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara.
The bead of Liord Chancellor fcur T nomas
Moore was begged by bis devoted daugh
ter, Margaret Roper. The relic was '
kept by her many years in a leaden
casket, and waa at length buried with
her in her tomb at Canterbury. .Finally, -the
head of Lieutenant-Colonel Francis
Towuley, a member of an ancient Lan
cashire lamiiy wno commanaea u
famous "Manchester regiment" ia the
rebellion of 1845-6, and who was execut
ed on Kensington Common, together
with the "Jemmy" Dawson immortal Lzsd
bv Shenstone. and other gallant
Jacobite gentlemen, was, in one time, to
be seen under a glass case in the drawing-room
of a London house, the resi-
dence of a lineal deecendeut of the ill-
fated Colonel. This highly interesting
head has quite recently, we believe.been
reverently interred. The respectful ex
ample should be followed in the case of .
the Lead of the Duke of Suffolk.
People's heads were not intended to be
made peepshows of, and there is vet an
other and very pleasing reason why the
head of Henry Grey should disappear as
swiftly as possible from public ken.
That truly alarming portend, the head of
Oliver Cromwell, exhibits fearful
symptoms of coming to the front Al
ready a lugubrious trumpet has been
blown in public, and an "anthentio
pedigree" has been claimed for a head
which somebody has got somewhere, and
which be solemnly declares to be lie
skull of ths great protector. In the way
of a controversy touching Oliver Crom
well's head madness lies.
The Gift's Chests
Banished by ths reigning king, the Gd
was leaving his domain of Bivar, accom
panied by eUty knights, but ths sinews
of war being absent, the Cid took'asida
his nephew, Martin Anthonez, and sent
him to Burgos to fetch two Jews, Rachel
and Bidos. These were ordinary receivers
of the Cid's spoil on his return from cam
paigning. Coming to his camp, these
two, Rachel and Bidos, were hopeful of a
bargain, so tbe Cid showed thm two
enormous iron-bound oaken chests, full
to the brim of sand and stones. The sur

lie told the Jews that he eould not carry
away with him this rish and heavy treas
ure, and bagged them to advance on tbe
security of tbe two chests enough money
to meet his present wants, adding that if
they were set paid at the end of the year
they might sell them. The money lent
was 300 marks ia gold and 3tf0 ia silver.
Duly the gross fraud was d iscovC ed. If I
am not mistaken, the Cid givf s coior to
the poem on hint regarding this event,
and finally, after his capture cf Valentin,
he ordered the two Jews to be properly
paid, saying that in the chest ttiere was
not only sand, but his 'golden - word of
honor.- - :
