To lose by ones own ignorance or
carelessness is more mortifying than to
lose by another's dishonesty. 1t is GER
tainly aggravating enough to lose by
both. TO illustrate how little the law
will help a person who does not know
how to do business-and to show the
importance of small details---the Merc
York Mercantile Journal cities an actual
case.
A man drew a note promising to pay
one hundred dollars. He used a printed
form, and did not close up the blank de-
voted to dollars, and after passing it as
negotiable paper, somebody inserted
"and fifty" after the one hundred and
before the printed o lars.
The note, thus altered, got iuto the
hands of an innocent party, who pre-
sented il to the drawer, and the Su-
preme Court decided the maker of the
note was liable for its face, because
throu III negligence he did not draw a
line between the word "hundred and
the printed word dollars.
Any testimony that the drawer might
offer to establish the fact that he gave
the note for one hundred dollars must
20 for nothing, as there was nothing on
the face Of tfrs note showing that It had
been altered.
Evidence of any alteration on the
face of the note would have changed the
case. let this Be q les on to sll drawers
of u ,m .sory notes. No one can be t1o
csIs in such matters.

LIFE or death is matter that does
not seem to trouble the Royal family in
England to any great extent as long as
it is not member of that family who is
concerned. One of the London papers
says that lady living in Carlton House
Terrace was dangerously i'll and her
physician said that the firing of cannon
there, when the Queen went to open
Parliament, would cause the sick LADY,
death. Application was made TO the
Duke of Cambridge to have the guns re-
moved from the immediate ncighbor-
hood of the house, but he refused. 60
the sick lady was put under the influence
of chloroform while the firing was-going
on. The journal does not mention
whether she recovered or not Isl

A Significant Incident.

1t was significant incident that as
the Rev. Mr.. COwley was being taken
to his cell in the Tombs, the prisoners
in the same corridor hooted and yelled
at him as he walked along, and at his
meal-limes advised the jailers to cut
down his rations, and otherwise scofcd
and jecred at him. The prisoners who
have done this are not particularly vir-
tuous persons, and are presumably
guilty of various grades of crime, but
not the meanest pickpocket and sneak
thief among them but feels himself en-
titled to look down on the respectfully
dressed clergyman from aplace Of higher
moral standing. inl doubtless his adj
vent among them has caused quite a
glow of virtuous satisfaction 10 their
bosoms. 1t may be doubted, if up to
that time the Rev. Mr.. Cowley had any
sense of his own obli1uity, and if with
a strange moral blindness lie did not
consider himself highly respectable
man, while the children under his care
were suffering with cold and hunger,
and dying for want OF proper attention
During the investigation he was first de-
tant and then indignant, and then he
assumed the airs of a meek martyr,
suffering from misrepresentation; but
the taunts AMI jeers of professional
criminals, should be enough to awaken in
him sense of the nature of his actions,
as nothing else would do, and he is
likely, in the course of time, TO come to
realizing sene that he is not an esti-
mable character.

ONE happy result of the upheaval in
Russia is said to be reconciliation be-
tween the Gar and Czarina. The graft
tude of the former at his escape from
death was so great that he addressed Il
communication to his wife expressing
regret at past misconduct, and promis-
ing that in the future there woul1 be no
occasion for scandals. The Czarina's
health is reported much improved in
consequence, and the reconciled royal
pair are preparing for season of retire
ment in the mountains of the Austrian
