A Righteous Verdict.
PHILADELPHIA, August /

The inquest over the bodies OF the five
persons killed by the collision Of trains on
the Atlantic City Railway on the l4th, re-
suited in a verdict that j. S. verts, Assist
ant Superintendent. is criminally answer
able for employing incompetent persons to
manage trains and for negligence in the
performance OF his W duty. The evil
dence showed that the running OF trains
amounted to guess work; that the Assistant
superintendent, as a rule. gave his mes
sases orally to the telegraph operators at
camden, and that the transmission OF one
OF that description led to the disaster.
Inc freight conductor swore that he knew
nothing about running trains. and had
charge last Thursday for the first time.

Alaska's Bag River.
rSan Francisco Letter,l

Alaska explorers report one of the larg-
est rivers in the world, the Yukon, as
navigable for steamers, and at 500 miles
from its mouth it receives very large
navigable tributary. The basis formed
by the confluence is as large as our Mis-
sissippi. Indians are everywhere, and the
war between the tribes is fixed institu-
ton. There is snow for six months, and
without roads dog-sledges find good trav-
cling. Game abounds, and Indians have
an easy life. From seven to nine dogs
make team, the odd one being the lead
er. The driver has to watch this dog. If
it gets on the scent of game it is off, and
the whole team is demoralized. Off they
scamper through the woods and thickets,
upsetting the load, smashing the sled,
tearing the harness and giving the boss
days of hunting to restore the status quo.
So vast country, t;aversed by navigable
waters, will soon tempt restless and spec
ulative adventurers to explore it. Yam
kee wit will not fail to find profitable
sources of commerce.

The Zulu Photographs.

On Thursday afternoon, at the Man.
sion House, Mr.. Philpott, stationer,
having shop opposite King Williams
statue, London Bridge, attended before
the Lord Mayor, on summons, at the
instance of the city police, charged
with exposing to view in his window
photographs Of men and women of color
in semi-nude condition. Mr.. Robert
son, Solicitor, who appeared for the de-
fendant, entered into an explanation,
stating that his client, who carried on
business in perhaps the most publicly
frequented place in the city, and pur-
chased these Zulu photographs
of the London Stereoscopic Com.
pany, Messrs. Thorpe and Watson, and
Mr.. Coils; and that the particular photo
graph in respect of which the summons
was issued bore the name of the Stereo.
scopic Company on the back. 1t was not
to be supposed that such houses would
lend themselves to the issue of indecent
photographs. The Lord Mayor, looking
at the photograph, said Indignantly that
he should be very sorry to make profit
out of such filth. Mr.. Robertson said
since the Zulu war, people in England
had naturally wished to see what kind of
foes they were fighting, and sketches of
Zulus in their natural dress and condi-
ton had appeared in the illustrated
papers. The Lord Mayor said those il
lustrations were nothing to be compared
with the photograph in question. Mr..
Robertson said his client had been in busi-
ness forty years. The Lord Mayor said
that made it all the worse. He had re-
ceived no end of letters from people pro-
testing against the sale of the photo
graphs. Mr.. Robertson said Mr.. Phil
pott had withdrawn the photographs
from sale, and was willing to hand over
the entire stock to the police. The Lord
Mayor said he meant to carry the mat
ter a step further, and to follow up the
printers and publishers. Mr.. Philpott
(the defendant) interposing, said that he
bad no idea they were indecent. OF
course, they would have been, if the sub
jects had been English, but not as
the Zulus were photographed in their
natural state. The Lord Mayor asked if
the defendant had not headed the photo
graph, "A newly married couple" Mr..
Philpott admitted it. The Lord Mayor
retorted that then the defendant was not
SO good a citizen as be thought he was.

Literary Quarreis.

The world always laughs, and is usually
right in laughing, at quarrels between
authors and critics. There is nothing
more ridiculous than the literary vanity
which drives writer to join hot battle
with every reviewer who does not happen
to like his books. There is nothing more
wearisome than his insistance in pushing
his issues into the remote regions of re-
joinder and surrebutter and rejoinder,
and vexing gods and columns with i'm
Fortunate trivialties. The public in
these unedifying cases mostly acts, meta
phorically speaking, like the hero of an
excellent novel of our day.
After impatiently watching a goat
fiercely buck and leap at an honest
wether until he had thrust the wether
over the edge of steep rock, the specta-
tor could not restrain himself from seiz-
ing the victor by the right hind leg and
hurting him headforemost after the sheep,
to learn how he liked his own compul-
sion. This is the common end of battles
of books, and the end is no unwholesome
one. 1t is good rule, therefore, for a
man of letters to set himself, that he will
treat his work as seriously as possible
while he is about it, and as little serious
ly as possible after it is finished and
launched.
When it is done he should reflect that
it is only one book in million which is
of any real concern for good Or evil,
for wise instruction or true amusement
to this world; on the other hand, while
he is still busy on his book, he will take
as much trouble as if that were to be the
singular and immortal exception. By
cultivating this double mood Of care and
carelessness, man perhaps does the best
that he can both for the honesty of his
work, whatever it maybe, and forhis own
mental comfort and self-possession.
