- Too TRuE.-An exchange says
DR.. Scheppe, who has been tried the
second time for the murder of Miss
Steinccke, at Carlisle, Pa, has been
acquitted. He came as near hanging
as any man who has escaped, and
very largely, in consequence of the
testimony of medical and chemical ex-
perts, whose inferences were hastily
drawn from examinations carelessly
made. Those who were best acquaint-
cd with all the facts of the case be-
lieved in the innocence of the accused
and finally secured his second trial
which has reversed the decision of The
first, and demonstrated the utter
worthlessness of tho testimony oi
those experts who contradict each
other aud hold the life of human oe
ing as of far less account than the
drugs they dabble in and the theories
they are hired to maintain or oppose
There may bc science Of medicine
but il anybody imagines we have
found it out, he has only to attend q
arst- class murder-tria in which medi
cal experts play part, to, recover
from that delusion.

ss A SMART BUSINESS MAN.-When

tor Grinnell, recommending Col. Leet
ior appointment as general order"
man in the New York Custom House
on the ground that the Colonel was a
smart "business man." his excellency
came pretty near the mark. 1t up
pears from this gentleman's own evi-
dence that his sharp business talent
has enabled him to make very
."good thing out Of his office, and il
seems from evidence collected from
various New York merchants, that
the general order business has yielded
from 25O to 300 per cent. more than
the law allows. This ."business man

COURTESY.

Nowhere is well-bred courtesy, or
the lack Of it, more observable than in
travelling. On the steamboat and in
the cars the quiet observer easily do
tects those who have been educated
under refined influences, or those who
without special cultivation, are pos
sessed of native politeness. 1t is not
education alone, nor wealth, nor high
social position, nor costly trappings
that makes one pleasant travelling
companion. There must exist kind
ness Of feeling toward strangers; a
general recognition Of equal rights in
the comforts and convcniences pro-
vided for the public, and quick dis
cernment of the noeds of others. The
gentleman who spreads out bis lug
gage on couple of seats in the cars,
and persistently reads his newspaper,
determinately unconscious that others
who have paid as much as he has are
looking in vain for seat, is as truly
ill-bred as the country girl who noisily
eats her pint of peanuts, scattering
shells on seat and floor, utterly re-
gardloss Of the annoyance she gives
her neighbors. In this democratic
country we travel in public convey
ances too much as if they were our
own private carriages. How often
the eleventh and twelfth passengers in
city omnibus, who know they have
full clam to seat, arc discomforted
by the out-spread garments, the i'm
movable attitudes, and the blank faces
of those who happen to have entered
the stage before them. Common civil
ity demands that o movement be
made to give room until the whole
complement is filled out; aflcrward
courtesy and generosity will often
prompt to attentions which justice
may not require. 1t is surprising how
much the comfort and pleasure of any
journey, whether long or short, is en-
hanced by those little nameless cour-
tesies, which are offered instinctivcly
and unofiiciously to strangers by re-
fined, well-bred travellers and by per-
sons in whom native tact and delicocy
almost make up for lack of the edu-
eating and refining influences of good
society. Summer journeying in crowd
ed boats and cars is test both of pa
tience and politeness. Thrice happy
they who pass nobly through it, for
their own sake, for the comfort Of
companions, and for the reputation Of
poor human nature in general.

KINGSTON, ia, Oct. &c. 1872.
In the West Indies some Of the islands have had
an abundant fall OF rain, quite sufflcient for the
requirements Of sugar planters, but in otner local
tiles the fall has been wholly insufficient for agri-
cultural purposes. In Barbados, for instance,
they have not had such q season Of drought for
many years; but they have at last been relieved
by superabundant fall On the other hand, on
the IsthInus of Panama the fall has been both
early and heavy, and, as q natural consequence,
there have been many cases OF sickness at Aspnwal
from malarial fcverS.
