Children as SaYages.
Belgravia.

About the time when baby begins
to put away monkey manners, and to
stand on two feet like a man, he begins
to show, in very marked degree,
the characteristics of savage tribes.
For two or three years of this part of
his life the best baby is a little savage.
His ideas of property are intensely
savage. He may be said to be al
ways more or less ''on the grab" q
object to slang as much as any man,
but really there is no other way of
describing the tendencies exhibited at
this stage Of baby's career). If he has
small brothers or sisters Cor both), he
is always more or less at war with
these neighboring savages. IF he is
deprived of anything he has come to
regard as his property quite mis-,
takenly, it may we'll beg, or if he sees
in the hands of his small kinsfolk
any goods or chattels which seem
pleasing in his eyes, he has but one
way OF expressing his wishes; he goes
for the possession of the desired OBJ
ject, using his hands as weapons if
he have no others handy, but bring
ing down a stick or brush or book (as
the case may be) on the head of his
enemy with all the zeal Of a Fiiian or
an Ojibbeway on the warpath. Girl
babies are pretty nearly as bad as boy
babies in these matters, only the girl
savage differs from the boy savage
much as savage woman differs from
savage men. Of course there are
many baby boys and baby girls who
show little tendency to savagery, just
as there have been many uncultured
races of man who have been gentle
and innocent. But the quiet babies
are always weak and unhealthy. In
the struggle for existence they sue
cumb before their mere ferocious
brothers, just as the quiet and gentle
savage tribes perish before their
tomabawk-fourishing, spea r-throw-
ing, club welding neighbors.

other than with smiles and gladness.
Now, is it possible that a people so
home loving, so affectionate, so fond
of offsprings, should be so depraved.
so immoral, as we habitually depict
them? We have too long looked UPON
one side only of the Italian character;
it is high time that we learned to know
the other. Another favorite idea of
ours is that the Italians never make
love marriages. No doubt their mar
riages, like those of the French, are
often arranged by the parents; but,
unlike those of the French, as a rule
a veto of choice is left to the young
people; and if we could collect statis-
tics upon the point, am inclined to
think that we should find that the
proportion of these marriages, found
ed upon the groundwork of reason
and social compatibility, which turn
out well is as great as, if not greater
than that of our marriages founded
on youthful caprice and unreason.

LARGE FAILURE IN VIENNA.
r.. Weinrich. the Sugar Refiner. With
liabilities of fS4,O0O.O0O.


Dispatches from Vienna Yesterday
announced the failure of r. Vein
rich, the well-known sugar refner,
with liabilities of s4,000,000. His
creditors had been asked to grant him
an extension of one year. The news
caused much talk among sugar rein.
ers in this city, who now look for
ward to other failures which they
think will follow closely upon this.
At the Office Of the Messrs. Havenyer
and others connected with the sugar
refining business it was said that thi
trouble was the natural outcome of
the extraordinary overproduction of
beet sugar in France, Germany and
other countries in Europe. Great
encouragement had been given to the
manufacture of beet sugar in Europe,
and by the Austrian Government in
particular, which offered bounties for
the production of this article. In con-
sequence, the sugar crop, which five
years ago had then 1000, ZOO tons, in
creased yearly, and this year it was
2, 300, 900 tons. Of course so enormous
a production had an unhealthy effect
upon all the sugar markets In the
world, as it was largely in excess of
the demand, and the price of sugar
declined 25 per cent. early in the
year. Mr.. Weinrich had contracts
for refining the sugar, and the i'm
mense crop which he had to take
proved too heavy a weight upon his
hands. A large quantity of beet
sugar has been imported into this
country for some time, and has been
mixed with cane-sugar before refin-
ing. Although it is believed that
several other failures of re-
fners in Europe will take
place, the refners in this country
feel confident that the failure will
not lead to any embarrassment here.

Shaking Dice.

Union Pacific passenger to the Bees

gambler. Gambling is one of his
greatest hobbies, and while I was in

a run of good luck, followed by run
Of bad luck. In a game of cards with
a fellow named Ed. Morris he won S.
600. Shortly after this Goodwin and
Morris met in a bar-room, and Morris
challenged Goodwin to shake dice.
The challenge was accepted, and they
shook for 5000 a shake, using only
one die. 1t was nip and tuck for a
while, but finally the goddess of for
tune smiled favorably upon Morris,
who won $1,000, when Goodwin
threw up his hands and stated that he
didn't have enough money to settle.
He paid 81, 900 down, and gave three
notes for the balance, one being for
81, 600 on demand, another for s., 500
payable in three months, and another
for similar amount payable in six
months. Morris transferred the notes,
TO another party, who went to Good
wins hotel to collect the demand
note, but Goodwin had gone to Santa
Cruz, and from there East. Goodwin
was arrested at Elko on the charge Of
