1t is not too soon for the Boston papers to
protest against the method adopted by the ex-
eeutve committee of the peace jubilee to escape
from the losses incurred by that enterprise. The
committees plan is very simple and is offered
with frankness and apparent unconciousness
of any improperly, which is astonishing, con.
sidering who the members of the committee are
and what they propose. The deficit amounts to
about s250,00 To raise this sum it is deter
mined to give grand concert to which one hun
dred thousand tcsets at So each are 10 be
issued; the holders Of six of these tickets to be
selected by lot from the whole number, will
become the owners Of the coliseum and
its contents This, to the common
mind, appears to be a lottery or a
gilt enterprise, or something of that
kind generally considered an insdious and
demoralizing species of gambling and as such
forbidden by our statutes in the words: "Who.
ever sets up or promotes any lottery for money,
or BY way Of lottery dsposes Of any property of
value, real or personal; or under the pretext of
sale, gift or delivery Of any other property. or
any right, privilege or thing whatever, disposes
OF, or offers or attempts to dispose Of any real
or personal property, with an intent to make
the disposal of such real or personal property
dependent upon or CONNECTED with any chance
by lot, dice, numbers, game, hazard or other
gambling device whereby such chance or device
is made an additional inducement to the dispo.
sal or sale Of said property" &c., Shall for each
offence be punished by hne not exceeding two
thousand dollars"
This language seems plain and comprehen-
siyc enough to include just such an undertaking
as the executive committee have announced
but there must be some mistake about it, for
among the signers Of the announcement are as
correspondent Of the Advertiser describes
them, "a prominent member of a leading Ortho.
dox church at the south end the president of
the common council, one present and two or
three eN-members of the board Of aldermen a
prospective candidate for mayor. two mr. ,b,oo
gentlemen connected with the public press and
other prominent Representatives Of the conmor.
cial interests Of the city" These must NJ
course, all be honorable men, who would no,
expose themselves 10 conviction for crime. "a

community and direct challenge to public
sentiment that viii not be unhee1e led.
There is no such excuse for this bold defiance
of law and morality as is sometimes pleaded
for those smaller offences of the same kind,
raffies at fairs, that the amount obtained is de-
voted to some charitable or humane object and
contributions may fairly be considered as free
ly given for such purpose without much thought
OF the chance of profit to the giyer. In this in
stance there is no question Of charity or of any
purpose of public interest or advantage. The
object is simply to relieve few wealthy gentle
men ofa burden which they voluntarily assumed.
They are shrewd business men and quite capable
ofestimatng the risk involved in their guarantee
They expected, it is fair TO pre-
sumo, that they would, either imme-
diately or remotely, derive benefit
from the jubilee quite sufficient to compensate
for that risk. How fully that expectation has
been realized cannot now be told, but that con-
siderable part of the apparent loss has been
made good by the increased profits of the mer-
chants and hotel keepers who subscribed to the
guarantee fund is highly probable, if not Ger
tain. We fear there is not independence and
virtue enough in the public officers of Boston to
prosecute every member Of the executive COM
mittee to conviction, if this scheme should be
carried through; but it is not improbable that
somebody in authority may think it his duty to
interpose such legal obstacles as the committee
may not choose to encounter.

they assume no individual superiority in good
ness over other sects; they confess that many
Shakers lind it hard to reach the perfect faith
fulness in work, and the spotless cleanliness
which their religion requires.
We have heard that near large towns, espec-
tally near popular watering places, Shakers de-
generate; that their houses are not especially
neat, their work is not better done than work
elsewhere; and they lose in a degree the distinc-
tive virtues Of their sect, and retain only the
peculiar dress and visible customs. But it is
not so in Canterbury. The whole atmosphere
of that community Is one of honesty, content
ment, and peace; they have denounced eti-
quette," but "they cultivate the good manners
that come from kind heart" and the result is
a gracious simplicity far beyond the reach of
etiquette. They offer nothing for sale, but if
You ask for their goods, they will sell you fan
nell knit socks or stockings, baskets and some
pretty fancy goods, all of the very best I'm
natural as their celibacy is in theory, the women
in Canterbury seem to me far happier, far better
situated in every way, than many a woman
have seen in the world, elderly, unmarried,
poor, working hard, and striving with labor that
wore out soul and body, to keep up
appearances, to hold position that seemed Slip
ping away from her, and to dress in the fashion
The Shakers, with all the ungracelul details of
their dress, and with all the work they have to
do, were pleasing, serene and ladylike, and their
lives seem far less unnatural than many which
pass uncondemned in the world Moreover, they
invariably look eight or ten years younger than
they are. We could not get used to their ages,
and had a constant succession of surprises, as
women who looked between thirty five and forty
told us that they came there at seven, and had
lived there forty years; or at eighteen, and had
lived there thirty years. l speak only of the
sisters. The men whom we saw made wholly
different impression. With few exceptions their
faces were Indifferent or care-worn, and there
was nothing but the unnecessary ugliness of
their clothes to distinguish them from other
Woodworking men.
Early in the morning we exchanged friendly
good byes with the attractive sisters and the re-
fined looking elder, and started on our long billy
ride home, past miles of sweet, blooming hedge
rows; through woods where the always invisible
wood robin sang; through the streets of pretty
villages, and by the side of musical streams;
and just at nightlal got home to the solitary
farm house nesting in the quiet valley,

A FRANTIC MOTHER PoIsoNs HER BABE by
MIsTAKE.-This shocking item of news is from
the Columbus, o., dispatch OF the 18th inst We
yesterday gave the particulars of the escape of
Edward Streitberger from his residence, corner
of Seventh aud Mound streets, last Friday night,
while in dcirium of an attack oftyphoid fever,
and the subsequent finding Of the body in the
Scoto river, Saturday evening.
This great bereavement fell heavily on Mrs.
Streitberger and almost drove her frantic Dur
ing Sunday, having occasion TO give her six
months old babe some medicine, overwhelmed
as she was in grief she by mistake gave the in.
FAINT some medicine left for the father, causing
its death in two hours. When the unhappy
mother discovered her mistake reason almost
deserted its throne, and il was only by the con-
slant attention and careful watching that she
was saved to care for the remaining three chill
dren.
The bodies Of the father and babe were both
consigned TO the grave yesterday afternoon
This is a most distressing case, and the almost
distracted mother, in her double affiction, has
the heartfelt sympathies of the entire commu-
nifty.

A NOVEL DUEL.-Among the "reminiscences
told Of the Franco. Prussian war is the account
of a curious duel between two subordinate OIL
GERS Of the French army.
"You intend TO fight Il duel, CHI" asked the

only be wiped out by blood. We don't want to
pass for towards"

this way: Take your carbines place yourself on

had dictated. At twenty PAGES from the walls

Some years ago a London newspaper writer
gained considerable celebrity as the "Amateur
Casual, by a series Of papers on the London
warehouses, to qualify himself for writing
which he spent several nights in the Casual
wards" disguised as a tramp. A New York re-
porter has just been attempting something of
the same kind, requiring, however, a more elab-
crate system Of deceit and involving a sacrifice
of his liberty fora longer time. Some cases of
apparent oppression and cruelty at the Bloom
ingdale insane asylum have lately drawn atten-
ton to the management of that institution, and
the subject has occupied considerable space in
the newspapers in the shape of reports of pro-
ceedings in the courts, letters from correspond
ents, and editorial comments. Some days ago,
while the interest in the matter was at its hight
a reporter of the Times was noticed acting very
strangely at one of the uptown hotels His con-
duct soon became so remarkable and alarming
that it was thought necessary to take him be-
fore magistrate, who, on the certificate of two
physicians that he was insane, ordered him to
be committed to the Bloomingdale asylum. To
the asylum, therefore, this enterprsing gen
tlemen went not unwillingly, and the treatment
there proved so effective that he is already dis
charged, cured He had taken steps to be re-
leased by legal process, but they proved unneceS-
sary, as the managers of the asylum discharged
him without compusion. What he knows
about the Bloomingdale asylum will soou be
told no doubt, to great many interested read
ers, and, as the story of an actual patient, who
saw everything in its every day working aspect,
and whose desire and capacity TO tell the truth
about it there is no reason to dispute, it will
probably do quite as mach to satisfy the public
of the actual condition of things there, as the
report of the commissioners whom Governor
Hoffman has just appointed to investigate them
Carl Schurz charges two hundred dollars a
night for democratic speeches, and the Indian
apolis Sentinel (dem.) calls him "a Mercenary

supposed Carl Schurz to be, could not afford to

JAPAN TEA.-The first Japan tea of any con-
sequence received in this country was in 1S59-6O,
small beginning our imports have gone on in
creasng each succeeding year, till in 1901 the
shipments from Japan reached 18,449,157
pounds, or about q per cent of the tea we i'm
ported in that year. The quantity imported in
1S71-72 has already reached II ,4S2, 900 pounds.
These are direct shipments. twill thus be seen
that although Japan tea met with but little favor
thirteen years ago, it has gradually worked its
way into popular favor, and doubtless will soon
er or later stand upon an equal footing with the
China article in the markets of the world. The
opening OF new ports in Japan has given re-
markable impetus to the tea trade, and the pro-
duction promises to be largely increased and the
quality improved.

branch, which gave John no small trouble TO
