Accident.

On last Sunday as DIR. A. j. We'll
don, of Paris Landing, with his wife
and two small children, one a little
girl aged Z years and a little boy of 4
years, were on their way to church in
buggy, they were the subjects of an
ugly accident. The doctor was driv>
ing a mule to the buggy, and was 60
ing down a hill with a considerable
gully on either side, when one shaft
became detached from the front axle.
The mule became somewhat frightens
ed, ran the buggy into one of the gull
lies, throwing all four out, and the
buggy on top of them. The doctor
was badly bruised, Mrs. w. had an
arm broken, the little girl was much
stunned for time, but the little boy
escaped unhurt. DR.. Edmunds visit
ed them on Tuesday and reports all of
them doing well at that time.-Paris

1t was DR.. johnson or some other wise
man who expressed the opinion that mar
riages would, as rule, turn out more
happily if they were all arranged by the
Lord Chancellor. If the courts were to
take the place of courting, and all who
contemplated assuming the bonds of mat
rimony were required to give evidence
that they were in a condition to meet
properly its duties and responsibilities,
and that the parties in each case were
fitted by character and circumstances to
conduct successful partnership in the
business of domestic life. it is quite pos
sibIe that there would be less trouble and
sorrow growing out of the marital rela-
tion, fewer failures and wrecks of happi-
ness, and less frequent occasion for judi
cial separations.
Perhaps those who were in condition
to form a. wise and promising alliance
could be more readily supplied with
partners if an examination took place
into the merits of all applicants, and an
allotment were made according to what
appeared, upon practical consideration
of the case, to be the fitness of things. AT
all events, the method which has been so
long in vogue, and which has furnished
the basis Of so much poetry and romance
seems to leave many very worthy persons
unprovided for. When well-to-do, in
dustrious and honest farmers and me-
chanics out West have occasion to write
to the Superintendent of the Emigrant
Depot to select wives for them from the
stock Of eligible women brought into this
port, and, when maidens, who, according
to their own accounts, would make most
excellent and attractive helpmates for
just such men, are fain to offer them
selves in the market through the same
medium of intercommunication, it is
manifest that love neglects practical and
prudent considerations, while he plays
fantastic tricks before high heaven and
is not equal to the business of which he
has so long had a practical monopoly.

A temperance society has been organized
in New York City. Absolute abstinence is
not required OF the member, as has been
done hitherto by so-cal led temperance So
cieties, but taking one or all of the follow
ing four VOWS: Not to drink during business
or working hours; not to take anything
stronger than wine or ale; not to treat or
be treated: to abstain entirely from the use
of intoxicating drinks.
The formation OF this society is, as little
as we care for such societies, a move in the
right direction, and at the same time a
compliment to the Germans. As reported,
men like Howard Crosby, old man Peter
Cooper, and Others, who formerly support
ed total abstinence societies, have joined
the society. From this ii must be deduced
that the most prominent temperance men
are beginning to find that they can in the
long run do no good with their extreme
measures. Instead of abstinence they are
now preaching moderation.

The Bu ddhist Priesthood.
Cornhill Magazine. I


The ranks of the Buddhist priesthood
in China are generally recruited by chill
dren, purchased either from their parents
or from kidnapers. 1t is only in time Of
great distress that the poorer Chinese
will sell even their daughters, still less
the valued son on whom may possibly de-
volve the paramount duty of conduct
ing the ancestral worship; kidnapping,
however, is by no means an uncommon
crime, albeit the punishment on detec-
ton is speedy and ignominious death.
Occasionally, parents dedicate child to
Buddha, perhaps in fulfillment of vow,
and the victim is there and then formally
made over to the church by deeds signed,
sealed and delivered.
From this step there is no withdrawal
The child's head is completely shaved !;
he is made to live on a vegetable diet and
to forego the use of wine. He is taught
to chant the Buddhist liturgies, without
understanding a word of them, and after
required novitiate, proves his constancy
to the faith by standing unmoved while
several pastilles burn down into his scalp,
leaving the ineradicable scars which tes-
tify to the fact that he has put away for
ever the things of this world and has
been regularly ordained a priest. He
has now cleft his home" in good earnest,
and all that remains to him in this world
is life of celibacy and dull routine.
Criminals fleeing from justice not un-
frequently seek refuge in a religious
life, submitting to the branding
of their heads and the subsequent dis
comforts Of cloister existence rather than
fall into the merciless meshes of Chinese
law. Sometimes, too, unsuccessful man
darins throw themselves into a monas-
terry and take the VOWS, driven to such a
step by dread of the imperial frown. 1t
is said that the foolish officer who, during
the war of 1S41 and ~, laid at the foot
of the throne his discovery of the secret
of foreign steamers, and forthwith pro-
duced vessel with two huge paddle
wheels to be turned by coolies inside, is
even now languishing in one of the nu-
merous monasteries on the celebrated Lo-
fou Hill, in the Province of Kuang-tung,

fReformer and Jewish Timesl

Mr.. Cohen, the fshmonger of Ludlow
street, knowing that there would be a
large demand for fish during the Pass
over, sent out agents last week to buy up
all the finest specimens that they could
find. He spent "a, 600 in this way, and
advanced prices to suit himself. All the
Jewish housewives had to go to him for
their supplies and pay his prices or go
without the most important dish on the
Passover table. In this way Mr.. Cohen
cleared $4,000.

THE row between Bolivia and Chill,
which now threatens to draw Peru and

Eight, arises chiefly from the unsettled
boundaries Of Chill, which claims a tract
Of land on the Pacific very rich in guano

fixed her jealous eye on the same terri
tory, and the dispute was at one time
temporarily settled on terms which, like
nearly all the agreements in that tickle
region, were soon violated.

CHANCE,


A word unspoken, hand impressed,
A look unseen or a thought unguessed
And sJuls that were kindred may live apart,
Never 10 meet or know the Truth,
Never 20 know how heart beat with heart
In the dim past days OF wasted youth.
She shall not know how his pulses leapt
When over his temples her tresses swept;
As she leaned to give him the jasmine wreath
She felt his breath, and her face flushed red
With the passionate love that choked her breath
And saddens her life now her youth is dead
A faded woman who waits for DEATH
And murmuls aname beneath her breath;
A cynical man who SCOTS and ieers
At women and We in the op day,
And at nighttime kisses with bitter tears,

spahish Anohoyy Fishers.

~ IAN tne rear ROUND
Men and women were hard at work
packing the sardines in baskets shaped
something like a nautilus-shell, and hold
ing each five thousand. The fish were
placed in layers, separated by leaves and
salt, and in this state were to be dis
patched on mule-back over the noun
tains, to supply the interior of Navarro
and Alava, and even through the Gov
ernment lines into CASTLE. Asking what
they would be likely to realize in the
inland towns, l was told 10d per 100 at
the very least. Thus the buyer who had
his outlet was purchasing at 2Id, and
even adding an additional 2ld for pack
ing expenses and transport, the profit
would be 5d on the 100, or As I'd on the
1000; so that if, as l was informed,
100000 would be sent off by this one
dealer, he stood to clear EGO, even allow
ing something for losses.
WE'LL this gave me tolerable notion
of what the buyers were making in fair
season, but, l felt more interested ast0
the gains Of the men who risked their
lives, and this is the information the
commandant gave me. He said that if
the patron made for himself, boat and
net, 92 the round trip, the return would
be considered good, and the crew would
be well satisfied with 12s. each. Thus,
supposing four voyages a week to be
made during good season, giving two
days off for repairs of gear, and no seri-
GUS accident met with, the patron might
pocket something like 600 in three
months-it being impossible to count
on longer period owing to weather and
various obstacles the men posi-
bly, EOS.
OF course, there are the funny, an
chovy, mackerel, and other seasons, but
it is to be doubted, even with the best of
luck, such as being able to put to sea
nine months in the year, whether the
patron ever gets beyond 9250, out of
which he has to keep his boat, spars,
sails, ropes, and above all, his nets in
serviceable condition. Probably the men
may realize in good year ESQ. But
these calculations were made under the
most favorable circumstances; and it
was more than likely that, one year with
another, neither patron nor crew ever
reached these respective amounts.

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE,

The public have been accustomed to
read of Ministers, Ministers Plenipoten-
Eiary, and of ambassadors, and, without
knowing the broad distinction between
The two classes of diplomatic agents, won
der why the United States doesn't send
ambassadors to foreign courts instead of
simple Ministers, who are the highest
grade recognized. The difference be-
tween an Embassador and a Minister is
that the irst-named officer represents the
sovereign personally and can therefore
claim personal communication with the
sovereign, the latter only represents his
Government, and can only claim bust
ness intercourse with the Government to
whom he is accredited, while his personal
intercourse with the sovereign is mat
ter Of courtesy. As America has no per-
sonal sovereign she can not aspire to the
diplomatic right of sending an Embassa-
dor. She must be satisfied with the
lesser privilege of sending a Minister to
represent merely the sovereignty of her
people.
But. the whole system Of European
diplomatic service has grown out of the
feudal system that has long since become
faint historical recollection and has
been perpetuated as matter of national
vanity or mere ostentatious national
rivalry. The keeping up of splendid
embassies at enormous cost las been the
custom amongst the ruling nations of
Europe for several generations. At their
earliest date they were mere agencies es-
tablished to subsidize the public men
and corrupt the courts of the govern
ment to which they were accredited.
This was notably the case at the court of
England during the reigns of Charles II
and James. In fact it might be said to
have been the case during the entire
reign of the Stuarts.
When America cut loose from all en-.
tangling alliances and enunciated the
Monroe doctrine of non-interference she
placed herself in position to discard all
the antiquated forms of national inter
course as represented by official embassie.
or ministers plenipotentiary. They have
never been of any use--can not be put tt
any use to a nation of representative
men. No treaty has ever been negotiated
by them, or can be under our constitu
ton. The Office has been often used as
political hospital, to which diseased poll
ticians are sent TO recover their energie
wasted in behalf of party, or as a pen
sion for past party services. No man ha
ever been sent to Russia or Sweden o
Turkey or Italy who understood a wor(

Directions for Planting and Culti-
waiting the Stra w berry.

We prefer planting in the spring as early as the
ground will permit; but potgrown plants set in
August Or September will produce s good crop
the next season. For garden culture, the mos
convenient method is TO plant in beds four feet
wide, three rows in each bed, and plants one foot
apart in the row. Thoroughly enrich the soil, dig
deep keep clean of weeds, cover lightly in winter
with corn stalks or some coarse litter rake Oft in
the spring, dress the beds and mulch with the
same litter or short grass from the lawn.
Plant a new bed every year, spade under after
the second crop and SO insure plenty OF berries
and eyade unsighty beds
