C lJlTCIIIR, Secv, 158 ,. M. M. llCTLKK, Chairman. Mind Your Business. It is the safe rule, the only safe rule. A man has enough to do to attend to his own ptiaincss. The man who attempts to correct his neighbor's delinquencies is himself liki-lv to iret into trouble. If the neighbor is going in wrongful and unlawful courses, let the law and its nroner ministers ileal with him. That is what the law and the olliccss are for. This is a serums matter. J;ut it is tenfold more serious to intefere with an individual who is acting within the lim its of the law for others to undertake to menace, to constrain, to unlawfully injure him. The individual may, in deed, bo exasperating and vexatious to his fellows, aud yet keep within the limitations of the law. There are such cases where forbearance is hard, and for that very reason the golden admonition, "mind vour own business," is all the more needful of imprcsslye remembrance. I.ut when it comes to lawless aggres sion upon an individual who has con fessedly done no more than irritated spite ful malign incy by action of undisputed legality and that, too, in pursuance of conscientious regard for public duty then the offence assumes the most serious form. 'When, under such circumstances, men fail to mind their own business, fail to remember the lawful rights of a citi zen, and agree or act together to intlict violence upon him, let it be in what de gree soever, they become criminals, and criminals of the most dangerous sor.. They then heroine movers in a conspira cy of Midi quality that the very founda tions of society are undermined. So dangerous is .such offence that it cannot be admitted in the case of lawless aggres sion without setting up the major pre mise from which the destruction of all law and of the order of society necessa rily follows. If one man. or one combination of men, may with impunity violently aggress up on tin; person of another with law less hands, then any other man or any other rombiiiat ion of men may do the .same thing; and this is anarchy. It may sit iua light thing to an excited man or a gang of men who have conceived a spile uiraiust some individual, to plan to in timidate him, to "slug" him, to give him "a black eye," and by such force to drive him from a lawful coursa of action. l!':t society in its right and sob-r mind dors not .so regard it. Society can no nnire loh-rate an exertion of lawless force suf ficient to black tin eye than it can toler ate an exertion of lawless force to da-h out the brains of the victim. It is not the degree of force, but the lawles.-j quality of it, which renders it the deadly foe of society. Hence the law proclaims stringent pen alties against violent outrage of what ever tlegrr. J fence, too, tne law ilc clares that the man who plots or attempts wrongful aggression upon another, when in the urosecution thereof that other h killed, is a murderer, and punishable for the guilt of murder. Hence, again, th" law regards so seriously tin; crime of conspiracy to intlict forcible injury upon the person of a citien. And the law- is right in till this, lieing right, the law should be vindicated against all infrac tions of the fundamental condition of society vindicated promptly, complete ly, even sternly. Nothing less than the stem enforce ment of the law will teach thoughtless, obstreperous, vicious men the necessity, to others, if not to themselves, of mind ing their own business.

C. A. AVOOSLEY. A Flnei:ai. in Costa Kica. A fa miliar sight in Costa Rica is a death pro cession. "When some one is dying the friends send for a priest to shrive him. The latter comes, not silently and solemn ly, a minister of grace and consolation, but accompanied by a brass hand, if the family are rich enough to pay for it (the priest receiving a liberal commission on the business), fir, if they are poor, by a number of boys ringing bells and chant ing hymns, llehind the band or b: 11-boys are two acolytes, one bearing a crucifix and the other sw inging an incense urn, Then follows the priest in a wooden box. or chair, covered by a canopy, and car ried hv four men wearing the sacrament- ! al vestments, and holding in his hand, j , . covered with a napkin, the Host the j emblem of the bodv of Christ. People ' upon the streets kneel I as the procession j ; I? i . 1 passes, and then follow WXUII 11. .1 Hill 11 III" ' " me nousc oi tue oying. me nana or oei:- . ringers stand outside, making all the disturbance they can, while the pritst, f olio wed by a motley rabble, enters the death chamber, administers the sacrament, ind confesses the dying soul. Then tho procession returns to the church as it came. Going and coming and while at the house the band plays or the bells are rung constantly, and every man, woman, and child within hearimg fall upon their knees, whether upon the streets or at : their labor, ami breathe a prayer for the j departing spirit. I Funerals are occasions of great cere- ' .. . . mony. Notices, or avisos, as they ate. called, are printed r.r.d posted upon all of the dead-walls, like announcements of an auction or an opera, and printed invi- t . 1 ' ' . tations are sent to all the acquaintances of the deceased. The priests charge a large fee for attendance, proportionate . . j - - 1 to the means of the family, and when - hey arc poor it is common for some one i to solicit contributions to pay it. The spect acle of a beggar sitting on a street corner a.-king alms to pay the burial fee of his wife or child is a very common one. ami quite as oiten one can see a father carrying in his arms to the ceme t r' the coflin of a little one, not bring able to pay for a priest anil a carriage too.

Tsovol Drinkiog Glasses. A novel fashion at seaside resorts this season has been the introduction among v ery rich women of a drinking glass especially designed for the purpose of imbibing tho particular kind or kinds of mineral water that milady affects. These glasses, tho first of which was, of course, imitortod from Paris, aro of various de signs more or less elaborate, some of them revealing tho most exquisite work manship. They are fastened. to a gold or silver chain and worn dangling from the belt. The custom, which is a new one, i.4 naturally in danger of being car ried to excess and serving as an excuse for vulgar display. This is true of all new fashions; but, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that a private and ele gant glass from which to qualT sulphur or Hawthorne water is vastly more de sirable and agreeable than drinking the same liquids out of a coarse tumbler that lias been pressed by the hps of thousands of the common herd. And since tho imagination plays so large a role in our actual experiences, it may K questioned whether the obnoxious flavors of mineral waters generally would not be materially -modified for the better by the prolonged use of these individual aesthetic glares. Vie all know that champagne taken out of a tin cup or a t-th niug loonies at once insipid and disagreeable. From a logical standpoint, thcrt;fore. aml in inverse ratio, even sul- phur water might Income palatable in proportion to the magnificence of the drinking glass.

Nwr York Ilour.- A Schoolmate f Dlrn?l!. As Mrs. Jiisraeli's bedroom was always encurnlxred with her husband's Ixxikfl, Uenjamin might well say ho was "bom in a library." Shortly after Benjamin's birth Mr. Disraeli went to reside fit Theo bald's road, and I have often Ik'ci taken there, by my father.

Rev. E. Jones in London Standard. Artists In Crime. criminal classes in Mexico are The among the most accomplished artists in their line to lie found anywhere on the face of the earth, and possess, moreover, a marvelous powt r of simulating inno cence, which enables thnu to impose upon the most incredulous. They em ploy the latter faculty to great advantage; in securing situations as servants, in which capacity they find ample scope for their genius. If you detect them in thieving and discharge or punish them, their viiidicliveness knows no bounds, and they will boldly threaten future ven geance. Nor are they slow in concocting schemes to that end with sundry gentle men of the garrote or the stiletto who outwardly as respectable as anybody prowl the streets nightly in the interests of their employers. The pleasant possi bilities arc that some fine evening, when you least expect it perhaps as you are returning from the opera, humming a favorite morceau, or revolving sweet plans for love or lucre such fancies will lie dispelled by a sudden rain of cudgels upon your devoted head, or, w-orse yet, by the keen thrust of a habaja into the back of your liest claw hammer Coat just between the shoulders. If you lie not killed outright and yell for tho jioliee, the chances aro ten to cne (you being a foreigner) that the assassins will assert, in voluble Spanish, that you attempted lo murder them, and the police will finish what they failtxl to accomplish. Irish Times. 3Iusici:mft In Xcw York. New York contains about 300 orches tral players capable of taking part in musical performances of the highest class. Mr. Thomas' orchestra at tho fes tival in the Seventh regiment armory in contained 300 players, and Dr. Damrosch's of the year previous 2.0. In both cases musicians were brought from other cities, because it was, of course, impossible to command the services of ail the capable players in New York for tjiese monster occasions; but thero are the number mentioned of good orches tral musicians in the city. Counting all the members of military bands, theatrical orchestras, makers of dance music, and others in humbler walks of the art, the musical population foots up over 3,000. It is doubtful whether any city in the world contains so many musicians as New- York, or pays thy better class of them so well. Many make sufficient money during the regular season of nine months, from September to June, to ena ble them to devote the summer to rest and relaxation. Dozens of the leading players go to Germany in tiie summer to revisit their old homes, for the vast ma jority of the professional musicians of America aro German by birth. Native born Americans have not as yet come to look upon music as a means of liveli hood. New York Tribune. Sardines for KTcryhoily. A recent story about tho disappearance of tho sardine is said by reputable im porters in this city to apply only to tho poorer grades. These have been usually packed for export. It is now said that packers on the coast of I'riltany, France, have secured some of the finest of these delicate fish. More especially is this the case at Etel, Concameau and St. Gilles. One packer of Brittany has cured this season 13,200 cases of 100 lioxes each, which, on the average of fifteen sardines to the Ikix, will make nearly 20,000,000 fish. The fish being large, well selected and delicate, and packed in pure olive oil, command a good price, as they have no competitor of consequence in the poorer grades. A portion of this catch has already reached the United States. It commands at retail forty cents a box for the boneless sardine and thirty cents for the plain. New York Mail and Express. Advice to Amateur Naturalists. To would be naturalists, Dr. Abbott gives the following excellent advice: "Avoid the highways when you take a walk. Do not turn aside for a stretch of Bwrfmp. If you have any fear of wet feet, be properly shod before starting. It too often happens that the sights best worth seeing come to you when in a bit of wet meadow. By very many, walks are thought to be enjoyable only in what is commonly called pleasant weather. If I have seen something new, that day is pleasant, however the thermometer re gisters or the winds blow. In the noon of midsummer days, it is proper to re main in doors to rest, to keep cool, if happily you can. Nature herself, just then, is taking a nap." The Epoch. Tlie respectable sum of 800,000 a year is expended by the government of Cuba for chemical analyses in cases of sus Iected poisoning and all kinds of medico legal investigations. Arkansaw Traveler.
