Cuban Customs Regulations.

The new Cuban tariff and customs
regulations, now in course of publica-
ton in the official Gazette, are extremely
stringent as regards violations by COM
manders Of vessels, and carry with them
the severest penalties. For instance, for
each package declared IN transit in the
manifest that does not exist en- examina-
ton, the Captain will pay 5000, and
when it is of goods in bulk, proven the
fault, two to ten times the duties marked
in the tariff for the part wanting. For
each package found on board and
not mentioned in the manifest, the
Captain will pay two to ten times the
duties marked in the tariff for the goods
it contains. Again, consignees of goods
destined for custom house deposit incur
in fault, and will pay fine as follows:
For not presenting their declarations of
goods within the term allowed, will pay

modelled after our own intricate and con-
fusing customs regulations. We have
heard not little of late about the dis
position Of the Imperial Government
to relax the restrictions imposed
upon the foreign trade and commerce
of the colonies; but if these new de-
crees are intended as an evidence of that
disposition, it need only be said that 1t

it has done nothing to deserve. The
only wonder is that under such rules and
regulations, enforced by proverbially
INSCRIPTIONS and rapacious agents,
commerce is at all possible.

The closing day of the lower house
of the Indiana Legislature was marked
by number of disgraceful scenes. Alb
surd bills were introduced, and coarse
and filthy language INDUCED in to such
an extent that the lady spectators were
forced to leave the hall. When the
Speaker ordered the Sergeantat-Arms to
arrest the disorderly members, books,
inkstands and other articles were hurled
at him. and the hubbub increased until
it almost became riot. Several wounds
caused by flying inkstands were infiict-
ed, and the scene has been described as
the worst that ever disgraced legisla-
tive hall. The Western papers can bear
in mind that this charming bit of pleas
antry did not occur in Texas.

Signs Of Radical Reformation In .
Small Way.

The Washington Post states, as q re-
markable fact, that there are now lying
on q desk in the private reception room Of
the Postmaster General two small cop
per cents, which have lain there for sew
eral months, no one claiming them, and
no one taking them away. They are in
the same place to-day as when they were
left three months ago. The man who
cleans the rooms, dusts the desk, but
does not touch the pennies. Despite all
classes of visitors. the pennies have re-
manned. The Posts young man called
the attention of Postma ster
General Maynard to the fact, and
he gave a slight history of the
coins. A lady, an Office seeker, called
about three months ago, and when she
left the pennies were upon the floor near
the chair she occupied. Mr.. Maynard
picked them up and laid them on the
desk, where they have since remained.
"You see. said Mr.. Maynard, "that the
people in the post Office are like unto
those of ancient Sparta under Lycurgus.
where money and jewelry were hung up
by the roadside, and no one, but the
owners, was ever known to take them
away"
This remarkable fact is paraded by
Mr.. Maynard to create the belief that the
official morals in Washington are i'm
proving. and that two copper cents are
no temptation to the virtue of the post
office officials. That may be true, but
is it so certain that if the lady had
dropped two gold eagles instead of two
copper cents they would be still encum
bering the Postmaster's desk? There
are people who are penny wise and
pound foolish" Experience has demon
strated that there are Radical officials
who are cent honest and dollar thievish.
1t must be admitted that the plundering
in Washington of late years has been
conducted on a magnificent scale. There
has been nothing small and mean about

others seem to give rise to dIsorganiza-

THE ORPHAN ASYLUM DISASTER

A Careless Servant Girl Causes the

burned to death, rendered verdict Fri.
day evening. 1t relieves the manage
ment of the asylum from all RESPONSE
bility in the result of the fire, censures
outside interference with the purpose of
the Sisters of Charity and the firemen,
and lays considerable stress up the non
compliance Of the managers of the asy-
lum with the law respecting the erection
of fire-escapes. The investigation was
very thorough, and developed several
important facts hitherto unknown. A
servant girl testified to having entered
the clothes-closet with lighted candle,
and in changing her Sunday
dress unconsciously kindled the fire
that sent seventeen innocent lives
into eternity The testimony of
the only boy who was saved of all
who slept in the boys room is conclu-
sive. Little Anthony Oberhest, bright
eyed boy of ten years, tells an intensely
interesting story. The little fellow was
the hero of the tragic event of Sunday
night. He was sleeping in the boys
dormitory and was awakened by
friend who told him the house was on
fire. His bed was near the back part of
the room. He started to go out the
back door but a red glare of fire drove
him back with his hair singed. He ran
back and picked up two-year old baby
who slept with him and carried him out
through the font door, which it was
said was locked, and ran down stairs
with him. He left the baby then and
attempted to return He was stopped
by big policeman, but he succeeded
in slipping by him, and was subsequently
thrown half way down the stairs
by another man, but despite all these
discouragements he reached the landing
on the third floor, ran through the open
door of the dormitory, and woke up two
of the sleeping boys and dragged them
out into the hall, and then, running
back, he caught up another boy and
started down stairs. To his sorrow he
discovered that the two boys he had
dragged out had gone back into the
room again, shut the door, and persisted
in the smoke. The door of the dormi-
tory stood open when he ran out the
first time with the baby, and was open
when he ran out the third time with one
of his playmates If Stafford, the obsti-
nate stranger, had not barred the way,
the little boy would have ultimately
been the means of saving most, if not
all, of the.children.

THAT TWIN RELIC. Many of
our Northern contemporaries, who
are Just now engaged in a righteous
crusade against that abomination of
denominations, Mormonism, are in the
habit Of speaking of it as that twin
relic" of barbarism thus CHASING it with
African slavery. They should remember
that the twin-shIp, upon which they
love so much to dwell, is not so
much in the antiquity of the two
institutions as in the fact that
in this country they are of the same
parentage. African slavery and Nor
monism were introduced. propagated
and fostered on this continent by New
England.
