Abuses IN Tobacco Pnznq.

We earnestly call the careful at
tention of our readers in this tobacco
district to the circular letter OF
Messers M. III. Clark & Bro, pub
lished ON our fourth page this
week, in which they set forth and
kindly warn the planters and prlz-
ers of the district against some
grievous abuses which have lately
crept into the priziug of tobacco.
We ask a careful reading of this
letter and its earnest consideration,
by our planters, feeling confident
that it will do much good and have
the effect of correcting a thoughtless
and careless practice in the handling
of their tobacco, which can be plain
ly seen is doing themselves and the
market here great injury. If our
planters will only give this subject a
thought, we feel assured the evil
complained of by our foreign buyers
will be speedily and permanently
remedied. 1t is of the greatest in
terest to every planter that these
abuses be corrected.

Loyalty to Jesus.


 The Christian church does not abate a whit of it's early passion of loyalty to it's master. In his own lifetime his disciples called him Master and Lord, and they said we'll. His resurrection and ascension lifted their allegi- ance to a sublimity of lfervor for which they suffered martyrdom with joy. Nothing was too much that they could do for him. That they might only know him, they prayed for the privilege of filling up what was behind of his suferings, and willing to be made conformable to his death. They sang his name; they took his name they carried his name throughout the world. No less loyal to Christ is the church of this youngest cen tury. All our learning, all our science can not stir us from our rest on the rock Christ Jesus. Human investigation has reached no results in religion or morals higher than those taught by the Peasant of Galilee. Af- ter our farthest excursions into the realms of loftiest scholarship, we come back to the same cross, before which Peter and John bowed, and there we too bow and there we ask and receive the pardon of our sins, and gain the impulse which carries us to 8 better life, and with the two apostles we proclaim and boast the name once despised but now most honored: ''Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucifed, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand before you whole.' Within these last few years men have begun to study the great religions of the world. What wonder if there was some anxiety to discover whether in the far and famed East Buddhas and sages might not have discovered and taught under another inspiration an ethics and religion as pure as those of Jesus But the search has been made and we find that there is no name there like that of Jesus. We find that it is the religion of Jesus, with it's defniteness, it's purity, it's authority, which is replacing the teachings of Confucius and Gautama Egypt, Assyria, Persia, India China have opened their sacred books to this generation, and they have shown to us platitudes and beauties, puerilities and truths, coarse poly theisms and fine phrasings of storms and seasons; but nowhere do we find the firm. sure, simple, lofty, satisfying truth of God, as in the Gospels which tell the teachings of Jesus Christ. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. In his light and his oaly would we walk. Still the church sings the old and faithful saying of it's earliest i- turgy: eff we died with him, we shall also live with him; if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we shall deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he sbideth faithful; for he cannot deny him. self !,

A Spanish Scandal.


 You may remember that some time ago the Comtesse San Antonio, nee Martinez Campos, endeavored to obtain the annulment of her marriage with her young husband, who is the son of Marshal Serrano, Due de Ia Tore, for reasons which are not easy to explain. Suffice it to say that the Comte San Antonio and his family declare that there is not the slightest foundation for the pretext assigned, and that the lady's extraordinary behavior is entirely due to the pernicious influence exer- ciged ever her by one of her maid servants. The affair was brought before one of the Paris courts, which, however, pronounced itself incompetent to decide 8 question in which both the plaintiff and the defendant were foreigners. The Comtesse San Antonio, nevertheless, continued to live apart from her husband, notwithstanding efforts on his and his fathers part to induce her to return to her home. The Due de la Tore also did his utmost to persuade her to dismiss the of- fensive soubrette, but she persisted in her strange conduct and resisted every attempt at a compromise. Some little time after the failure of her action in the French capital the Comtesse San Antonio adopting new set of tactics, appealed to the sa- cred college to cancel the marriage. The cardinals have not yet pronounced any def mite opinion, and here the matter stands, so far as this part of the business is con cerned. Meanwhile the plaintiff has come to the conclusion that life without money is rather dreary, and, bethinking herself of her dowry, she is now suing her husband in or der to obtain from him an allowance of 1OO,- 900 francs per annum, as well as 5O,00O francs for the defraying of the expenses of her appeal to the Roman curia. The Comte San Antonio is the happy possessor of her dot of 5,O00, ,OOO francs, and although his wife will not live with him, he sees no reason why he should part with the money she brought him. His father and other relatives are of the same opinion, and it remains to be seen whether the first chamber of the civil court of the Seine, to which the quarrel has been referred, will endorse their views. There is of course the possibility-by no means remote that it may declare it's incompetency to de- eide the matter between two foreigners. Next Saturday, however, all doubt will be set at rest, judgment being fixed for that day.

Walks and Cutters.

The police yesterday did what they could to relieve people from the inconvenience of slippery walks and obstructed gutters, noti- flying people of their duty in the way of re- moving the ice and snow. In many instan- ces the efforts of the police were not thank fully appreciated. One or two embarrass- ments prevent perfect work. Many build ings have 8 number of tenants, and it is hardly within either the knowledge or juris- dietion of an officer to say just who in any given building should be notified to clean of tke walk or dig out the gutter. Then. too, as the landlord is really the responsible per- son, in case he is 8 nonresident and his agent cannot be readily found, the police cannot very well do much in the matter ex- cept to report facts at the police office, leav- ing the result to the sidewalk inspector for his department and the superintendent of streets for his. A good deal of inconven fence has been suffered during the last two days by the water having no place of outlet, and it has flooded the edges of walks to the annoyance of pedestrians

Taken Insane

Owen Munson, at one time captain of the New Haven police force and acting chief of the department, has been taken to the almshouse on account of insanity. He will probably be sent to Middletown. Captain Munson was at one time janitor of the East Grand street school building. He was allowed quarters in the building after his successor was appoint ed, but was hurt about month ago by falling down the stairs. A few years ago he had an interest in the Fair Haven Keg company, whose building, corner of East Chapel and Ferry streets, was burned. He was afterward bookkeeper for the company, but brooded too much over his losses by the fire. He was also superintendent of the Reg company. Mr. Munson is member of Adelphi Lodge of Free Masons. and Knight Templar. He has lived very honestly and worthily and his misfortune will be sincerely regretted by a large number of his friends.

Serious Casualties.

A little girl, daughter of Miles Fox, aged z years, was killed Wednesday evening by a construction train that was backing up on the Naugatuck in lower Derby. The mother of the little one saw the danger and rushed to save her, but was herself struck just as she was rushing out to catch her, and hurled a distance of several feet on the side of the track. She sustained severe injuries. The child was terribly mangled.
 Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock the body of William B. Gould, aged 25, with 2 wife and three children, was found lying in 8 few inches of water under the mill owned by MT. Perry, in the Mill Plain district of Fair field. There was gash on the back of his head made, it is supposed, by a stone which he struck in falling while attempting to make repairs. A nine-year- r-old son of MT. Perry made the discovery.

 in Germany took place at Carl1's Opera
 House last night. There was 8 very large
 and intelligent audience. The selections of
 the evening were well executed. The ad-
 dress of Rev. Dr. Kleeberg was well re-
 ceived. The orchestra, led by MT. A. Nal
 Ion, was greatly applauded, also Resinus'
 band. The singing of the different societies was very fine, especially the Harugari Lie-
 dertafel,- under the leadership of Professor Robert Weiss. This society was encored and had to give another selection. Miss Emma Schneeloch sang beautiful soprano solo, and MT. Chares Macheleidt's piano solo was very much applauded. The concert netted about $500. Hon. Carl Schurz and the German Consul General were detained on account of the weather.

 The seniors have accepted President Bar rows invitation to visit the WilIimantic mills. A special train will leave New Haven at ten o'clock next Wednesday to convey them to the scene of those celebrated mills. t'A member of the crew" of Harvard takes issue with the writer of the communication | recently referred to in the COURIER and claims that the present management of HarVard's affairs is about correct. In regard to the point of starting and judging the boats at the finish he says: ''Now, considering the closeness of the race, it is not at all an impossible sdpposition that race might be so close that Yale's bow should be ahead of | Harvard's bow and yet Haryard's stern | ahead of Yale's stern. If this chou1d aver l be the case, the hostile state of affairs that would arise between the two colleges can bet 1 ter be imagined than described. The race was rowed under no rules, because no com | plete set of rules could be agreed upon. It ia this state of affairs, with it's possible con 1 tingencies, that the University Boat club and 1 its advisers are now stralning every nerve to avoid, and purpose to avoid by settling the conditions of the race before accepting Yale's challenge, in order that there may be no misunderstanding afterwards, and it is to be hoped that they will not be hindered in their 1 efforts by graduates more zealous than dis erect"
 The authorities of Harvard College for some time have been considering the necessi- ty of establishing fire escapes on the various buildings occupied by the students It is stated as probable that they will adopt the system of rope fire escapes, giving every stu dent who desires one a long rope, which he will be obliged to keep fastened to staple in the window always ready for use.

The river is free from ice again, and tht boats pass up and down as usual without any 1 hindrance.
 None of our fancy turnouts were on the

 through the day and evening, and several of our worthy citizens sat down at times very
 quickly.
 George Hitchcock, employed at Shonin- gers organ works in the city, was taken sud.
 denly ill at the shop on Wednesday morning ! while at work, and carriage was procured and the sick man conveyed to his residence ] on Summit street on the heights. ! On account of the stormy weather yester. l day there was no afternoon session at the | public schools.
 Yesterday number of our citizens were very busily engaged in shoveling snow, | cleaning out the gutters so as they could
 keep their places from being overfowed with l water.
 When next you wager the cigars, captain, I would mention what the price should be when the bet is made. SeVenty-ive cents is
 pretty good amount to pay for one cigar. | Mr. Lucius Rowe, who is soiourning in | San Antonio, Texas, through the winter, for wards to his friends at home copies of the daily newspapers of that place. This compi. ment is duly appreciated. The old Franklin House, on the corner o1 1 Church and Grown streets, is remembered | very distinctly by our elderly citizens. Some of them relate very interesting times | in that hotel when it was in it's palmiest days There is strong talk of organizing Court \ of Foresters in this place. l A sleigh capsized on the railroad crossing 1 on Cevter street Wednesday afternoon, throw ! ing out the occupants, but fortunately nc l one was hurt This little mishap attracted some attention of the passers by for a few moments.
 Fifteen couples of the young people from both sides of the river went on sleigh ride, | Wednesday evening, to Branford, in two oi Hiram Thomson's bRrges.

 I Parties from New York city, Rockaway and 1 other cities in that locality are here about every day making arrangements for buy inc

Singular Accident Which Bothered the
 RailrOad Trains.
 There is, or rather was, brick building 20 by Is feet in size and two stories high, owned by the Trowbridges and occupied by Newell & Palmer as joiner shop, standing near the retaining wall by the railroad tracks, just above the Fair street bridge on the west side of the tracks Last evening about a quarter past z o'clock the roof caved in near the center, owing to the weighty acoumula- tion of ice and snow. In falling to the sec ond floor part of the roof nearest the rail road tracks fell outside upon the bed of the old Canal road and trains of the Northampton ! and Shore Line were detained a short time by the debris. Men in the em- ploy of the railroad were engaged until late at night in clearing of the wreckage and pulling down part of the building which it was feared might tumble and endanger the l trains.
 The shop was for some years occupied by Gardner, the organ builder. its last occu- pant, Mir. Palmer, had it eighteen years ago. | George Ashdown once carried on cigar making in it. Mr. Palmer was enabled to remove his tools last night and has now to look for another rent. It was considered fortunate that the accident did not happen during the hours when life might have been lost.

An OIl norSoo

While Francis Gilbert, of Waterford, was going down Meadow street toward the depot, gentleman claimed acquaintance with him.
 Shortly afterward the two were found by two other men. A game of cards between the three apparently resulted to the disad. vantage of the man who said he knew MT. Gilbert as he borrowed $2O of the latter, to be paid as soon as they should get to Water ford, whither the elf-introduced friend said he was going. Mir. Gilbert now knows that he did not put his $2o to very good use, for he doesn't know exactly on what part of his visiting list to place his old-time acquain. tanc6.
