MORALS IN TRADE.

No greater mistake is conceivable than the
common one ofcxclmng the principles OF The
HIGHT toned morality from the calculations OF hl'
sincss. There are thousand ready to ask, with
aS,onishment, "What possible conne1inn can
there he between mans moral principles ana
character and his success in business mattrrs!
Nor is this all. Nota few are in the habit ol
imagining that a very strict and concIen'ious ad'
hrrrnce to moral principle is not only no he p'
Inn, a very serious hndrance to prosperity IN
trade: and that a man, to get ahead OF the world
must at times stretch his conscience little,
ovcrreach his neiahbor occasionally, or take
advantage orhis ignorance or inat'rnton.
Now. without wishing to assume the position
of lecturer on morals to mercantile readers, we
must be- permitted to donht not only, but deny,
utterly. the cxprdiency, in a business view
merely, OF dsrrgarding any Of the dictates oi
sound morals in the conduct of business affairs.
We not only deny the necessity Of any resort to
overrcachins, any violation of the stricfcst RUE
Of integrity, or any violence to our own con
science in matters of business, hut we are pre-
pared TO maintain that every kind and drsr'" o

norton Of the failures of Individuals and aSsoc''
a,ions arc owing to had moral principles or
deficient rule of integrity. The late Gideon

Magaznr himself ono of our most upright ana

that he was not accustomed to receive messages

THRILLING INCIDENT AT TIE MENAGERIE

THRILLING INCIDENT AT TIE MENAGERIE
NOBLE GALLANTY OF TIE LIoN.-On
Thursday of last week, during tho heavy
storm of wind and rain, while the extensive
collection Of wild beasts in the mcnagcrIc nf
Mcssrs. Raymond & Warnings were in the
village of Norwalk, a feature was introduced
in the exhibition not previously announced
in the bills. About four in the afternoon a
violent gust of wind blew down the canvass
which forms the large pavilion, completely
envcIoping the spectators and cages OF ami
mails in one common mass OF confusion.
The accident happened at the time when
Miss Adcna, the Lion Queen as she is styled
was pcrlurming in the den IF wild beasts,
and as the fright of the animals rendered
them seemingly uncomfortable, great fears
were entertained for the safety OF that inter

told. The uproar among the lions. tigers
and leopares in the performing cages gave
raise that they were dcvouring Miss, Adel'-
