A Cody was lately carried before n
Judge at Hong Kong, charged with mur-
dering the captain and crew of British
Cody ship, on board of which the defen-
dant, with others, was being transported.
The Judge dismissed the complaint, on
the ground that, by British law and
treaties, the Cody trade was identical
with the slave trade; that those engaged
in it were, therefore, pintes, and that
the kidnapped Coolies are justified in
gaining their liberty at any hazard, even
il itinvolyed the sacrifice OF life. II this
decision be sustained it may have a good
effect. But the difficulty of the Cody
trade, which distinguishes it from the
African slave trnde, is that each Cody
represents an emigrant, or is supposed
to do so. Most of them land all are sup
posed toy ship under an engagement,
against which there is no legal objection,
and which, if faithfully carried ont, there
probably wodld not be much to COM
plain Of. But, unfortunately, this is not
so in MI cases. In the guano islands Of
the Pacific this is particularly the case
No attention is paid to the expiration Of
. the limit Of seryitude expressed in the
agreement with the Cody, or MS to the
remuneration for his labOr. He is fed
badly and used harshly, until death re-
lieves the poor wretch from the engage
mcnt. Even if the Peruvian authorities,
who control the islands, felt disposed
which is probrbly doubtful-to interfere,
the poor Cody, working to death away
off in his seabound grave, has no means
Of presenting his case to the tribunals.
We believe it is only in the dependencies
of the South American countries on the
Pacific that these Outrages are practised
with impunity. In Demern and other
British colonies, the trade is under legal
supervision, and the condition Of the
Cody is that of an ordinary laborer, and
his rights are protected.

Prices IN PNms.-Poor people can
not go to Paris now to live, everything
is so costly there. Never. for the past
quarter of century has the cost Of liy-
ing there been so excessive. Tho shop
keepers really add to the recognised
value of nm article so much for the loss
of trade during the past year, piHs so
much more for the rent they owe and
the bills they have not yet taken up, p'ns
again the composition money due to
them for the agony OF feeling they have
endured during the seige Of Paris, for
the time the Commune lasted, and for
the knowing that the Prussians are still
on the soil of France. Put these differ
cnt items together, and the result will
be that the consumer who buys his or
her dress, or furniture, or stationery, or
jewelry, or what not, in Paris, pays from

ticle in Paris thnn il would cost in Lon

proportion. holds good as to eating,

babes are there treated
Soon after their birth they are rubbed
down with salt and tightly swaddled in

"the bal blood" The unhappy little
creature is only occasionally released

infants should he frightiul.

To DETECT THE ADumERATToS OF Tea,
The simplest method is to burn the
tea and weigh the ashes. Any kind of
tea from the best quality down to the
most common must not leave over per
cent Of ash; while those ndultcratcd sorts
have actually given 30 to 20 per cent, of
ash, proving that at least 80 to 40 per
cent of worthless or injurious stuff had
been added. II n pound Of such tea
cost 81, II would contain from 60 to 10
cents worth Of tea and some six ounces
Of plaster, sold for about 9 cents per
ounce.

Some people have an idea that news
papers will lie. Others are so wise that
they will only believe n newspaper report
when they think it would be easier for
the paper to tell the truth than to tell u
lie. Others think it the evidence Of
flashing wit to reject with derisiye
laugh any evidence for authority coming
from "the papers" To such m extent
has this thoughtless judgment Of the
press been carried, that much of It's
sphere of usefulness has been circum-
scribed 1t is true there must be some
occasion for this widespread impression
-"there must he some fire where there
is 50 much smoke"-yet how many men
can show record for correctness, accu-
racy and trithiulness, that will at once
compare with the average newspaper ?
The editor gathers his news from thou.
sand sources, from acquaintances and
strangers, from letters and papers. He
sifts and culls, hunts and details, and
endeavors to get I" the straight" OF every
story he publishes, for it goes to the
world over his own name, and he knows
that in great measure he will I've held
responsible. The private individual
hears a piece Of gossip, listens carelessly,
tells it to another with equal careless

man, +" says Lord Bacon the newspaper
verifies the truth of the statement, Let
any one who doubts this sit down and
put on paper some piece Of gossip, with
the purpose Of having it printed over his
own name, and he will sec in n moment
how little he knows about matter he
thought himself familiar with. And he
will wonder, not that the newspaper
should contain occasional inaccuracies
and misstntements, but that il contains
so few. And his wonder will wonder

How SiberlnnS Eat.

We have heard of the enormous ap-
potites of the natives of Siberia, writes
u correspondent. We now had ocular
demonstration Of it. One Of our Tun.
gusians had been sent back on an errand.
The other two sat down to their supper.
First they made away with gallon Of
hot tea. Then they prepared a four
quart pniltul Of boiled fish and soup.
Just as this was dispatched their COM
rndc returned. and the same pail was
twice filed with boiled beef, all OF which
was deyoured by the three, the bones
being cracked for the marrow. They
then rinscd ont the pail, and cooked it
full Of "crupn," kind of mush, which
went the way OF the fish and beef. Then
they fell upon "ukale, or dried salmon,
devouring even the skin, after broiling
it over the fire. Then they built their
own camp fire, and began to cook
another meal. We did not keep any
account of the dishes, but the last thing
we heard after retiring was the cmcking
of beef bones to get at the marrow.
Swartz told us that few months before
u number of horses had been sent to
