Keep the tons que from unkindness. Words
are sometimes wounds. Not very deep
wounds always, and yet they irritate.
Speech is unkind sometimes when there is
no unkindness in the heart; 80 much the
worse that needless wounds are inflicted;
go much the worse that uninte ntiOnally pain
is caused. Keep it from fslsehooi. 1t is 80
easy to give false cOloring; to 80 make a
statement that it may convey q meaning
different from the truth, while yet there is
an appearance of truth, that we need to be
on our guard. There are very many who
would shrink from telling lie, who yet
suffer themselves to make such inaccurate
or exaggerated or one-sided statements that
they really come under the condemnation
Of those whose "iying lips are an abomina-
ton to the Lord" Keep it from SANDER.
The good reputation of others should be
dear to MS. Sin should not be suffered to
90 unrebuked; but it should be in accord.
ance with the Scripture method, "Go and
tell him of his fault twixt thee and him
alone" And it should be borne in mind
that what is too often considered as merely
harmless gossip runs dangerously near, if it
does not pass, the confines of Islander. A
reputation 10 too sacred to be made . play
thing Of, even if the intent be not malicious.

Nothing new waA developed in the Deve-
resux. Harris case yesterday. Mr.. Deve.
reaux was arraigncd by Judge Adams and
remanded to prison. Coroner Chsstant will
hold the inquest today.
Lobby members in the Senate yesterday
outnumbered all else, and talked more,
louder and longer than persons who were
authorized to crate.
1t is understood that the firemen's pro.
cession will take in Canal street,
from Clay statue out to Rampant street

and when peace followed he joined the
Metropolitan force in this city - detec-
tive. He had . good reputation as cum
ming worker of crooked cases, and seldom
failed to make correct estimates Of matters
placed in his charge. His perseverance in
his duties was often SUBJECT for remark.
He held documents of recommendation
from persons high in authority and in an
emergency could bring considerable in
auence to assist him. He leaves . widow
aud two children.
