CHARLES KEAN.

Among the on-dits which reach us by the Liverpool,
is the report that Charles Kean has won the heart Of
Miss Angela Burdet Coutts, the daughter Of Sir Fran
els Burdett and the principal devsee Of the late Duch-
ess Of ST. Adams, whose first husband was the rich
banker Coutts. The Duchess, when Mr.. Coutts mar
red her, actress At his death she obtained an
immense fortune which she left to Miss Burdett upon
condition that the young lady should take her name
Among the undehnable subtleness Of feeling which
awaken the tender passion Miss Burdeu's penchan for
the actor may have originated in her gratitude to the
actressor at least her obligations to the Duchess for
leaving her one OF the greatest fortunes in England
oyercae the arstocratc preudces which ladies' Of her
birth entertain against the theatrical profession The

THE BANK FISHERIES.

The last PASSPORT Sentinel publishes the
following provision of the Treaty Of Oct
90, 1918, between the United States and
Great Britain, relating to Bank Fisheries,
for the benefit of those engaged in the fish
ing business. |. is important that the lam
guage of the Treaty on this subject should
be generally understood, particularly NJ this
time, and it will be well for fishermen who
are ignorant of it, to give it a perusal.-
A strict adherence to the provisions Of the
Treaty may save much difficulty. The
Sentinel says, the British are Uncommonly
active in preventing and furnishing all in
Judgements of the treaty stpulations.
WHEREAS, differences have arisen re-
speeding the liberty claimed by the United
States for the inhabitants thereof, to take,
harbors and creeks, of his Britannia Mal-s
ty's domnions America, it is agreed be-
tween the high contracting parties, that the
Inhabitants of the said United States shall
have forever, in common with the subjec

NorthwardIy indefinitely along the coast,
without prejudice, however, to any of the

Fishermen to dry or cure fish at such por-
ton So settled, without previous agreement
for such purpose, with the inhabitants, pro.

And the United States hereby renounce
foEever, the liberty heretofore enjoyed or
claimed by the inhabitants thereof, to take,
dry, or cure fish, on or within three marine
miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks

minlons in America, not included within
the above mentioned limits: Provided
however that the American Fishermen shall

"LET EVERY MAN MIND HIS OWN BUsI-
NESS. This is good maxim, but its ap.
plication is sometimes questionable. We
have lately seen it applied to the friends of
temperance, who try to stop other people
from drinking rum. Let every man drink
who chooses. says one, it is nobody's bus
mess but his own.
Well, thought we, as we laid down the
paper, perhaps it must be so-we cannot
force people TO be sober; so as the bell has
rung for nine, we'll shut up the office, 20
home and 60 10 bed.
On our way we heard atremendous rack
ct in a low dirty looking building; and amid
the din, the shrill cry of murder was dis
tinctly heard. We rushed in and found 4
great ragged brute of a fellow with blood
shot eyes, mauling his wife and children
with an old rickelty chair We wrenched
his weapon from him and tumbled him into
corner, from which he was too drunk to
extrlcate himself SPEEDILY. We asked him
what he meant by such conduct. "What
is that to you," said he-"let every man
mind his own business"
We cleared for home and wenteto bed .
About two or three o'clock in the morning,
we were awakened by rumpus in the
street. There was bud swearing and cries
Of" take him off heis s,abbing me-" We
ran out and found twp or three young men,
all very much intoxicated. They had been
playing billiards or some other game at a
gambling house till dat late hour, and hav-
ing been stripped oftheir money by black
legs, and good deal tuddled withal they
were in very savage humor, and fell gu,
and quarreled by tie way. We ventured
to say that the places where they had been
ought to be shut up, but one of them indig-
nantly replied Let every man mind his
own business"
So we wen, back 10 bed again.
Next morning we went to pay our taxes.
"Higher than ever" said we, "how is
this!" "Oh"sald the treasurer, "the town
has had SO much to pay for paupers. y
well, but what made so many paupers?"
at was rum | suppose We asked an
old citizen if nothing could be done by
striking at the root Of the matter. Per
haps there might" said he "but the people
mind his own business"
While we were at dinner that day, poor
woman, pale, dirty and cadaverous, came
to the door She had two children with
her as haggard as herself. She begged
for cold victuals, ole clothes,-any thing
She did not tell her story, because she had
been there frequently before, and told all
to the good woman of the house. We en-
quired about her case, and was told it was
pretty much like fifty others within a cir
cult of few miles Her husband was a
poor drunken scamp, who spent all the
money he could get for rum, while his life
and children were fed in part from our
kitchen. Going from dinner we met the
identical fellow in the street, and asked
him why he did not leave off drinking and
go to work? What do you think he said
Why Let every man mind his own bust
ness?"
Having a note to pay in bank in few
days, we hurried back 10 the office and be-
gan to turn over the leaves of our big leger
to see who owed money which ought to be
collected. There was Tom Nokes owed

The lumber of Maine is carried To Rhode

naturally arises, why does not the capital

villages spring up in Maine? The answer
is, Maine is under Loco Foco nisrule
Men in other states who have money will
not invest in this State, in Joint stock asso-
Citations, while it is the policy Of The day to
make war upon all corporations, and even
upon all wealth. Nor indeed will the cti-
zens Of Maine combine their means for the
same purpose, since all associated wealth
is specially denounced, and they are liable
to share the same fate as The public treasury,

We may as well give it up. We can do
nothing in Maine while Loco Focoism is 10
the ascendant. Ken Jour.

better never try again. As we understand

will complete it; by another individual
