lntermeddling.

We all scorn a busyhody and
scarcely have words of contempt
strong enough to express onr feel
ings towards one who is constantly
meddling 10 what in no way con.
Germs him. There are some persons
so unfortunately disposed that they
can not rest easy until they have
investigated their neighbours bust
ness in ell Of its bearings, and even
neglect their own to attend to his.
This trait of character IS directly
allied to envy on the one hand, and
to slander on the other. Meddling
is directly incited by egotism. 1t is
a low, frivolous, and too often a
dirty business. This being a maxim
of unfailing trath, that nobody ever
prizes into another mans concerns
but with a design to do, or to be
able to do, him a mischief. Hla
tongue, like the tails Of samson'
foxes, carries firebrands and II
enough to set the Whole field OF th'
| world in a fame. Do not cultivate
curiosity. Every man has. in BIZ
own life. follies enough; in his owl
mind, troubles enough; in the per
formance of his own duties, difbcnl
ties enough without being csriod
ahont the affairs OF others.

street, San Francisco. Dear Sir:--
/ am pleased to advise you of fire
eXtinguished by me with your Har-
den "Star" Hand Grcnades. About
G O'Clock T.. Nj. | discovered fire at
the residence of Mr.. Adams, on i
street. The building is raised from
the ground about eight feet. Under
meath it was large pile of waste
lumber and shavings, left there by
the carpenters. When ] discovered
the fire it was blazing up on both
sides of the house, and Mr.. Adams
was vainly trying to check the fire
with buckets of water. took two
of your Hand Grenades and ran to
his assistance. ] dashed them in,
and they instantly extinguished the
fire. The only damage was in char
ring the house and scorching the
carpet in the room above. There is
no question that the Grenades saved
the building. Yours truly,

lecturer, in coming to the discussion
of the japanese laboret. delivered q
fine panegyric upon the dignity of
labor No country could he pros
porous which oppressed labor. He
quoted with admiration a passage in
one of our Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, letters to Japan, in which
was given assurance Of the best Of
treatment of the desired Japanese
laborers in this country. The Ha-
waiian Consul. Mr.. Irwin, he cha
racterized as the very best man to
carry out this project. Bespeahing
for the fine lot of immigrants sent
out the most kindly treatment, he
said they would be found generous,
good-natured, willing and industri-
Gus, sensitive to injury and quick to
resent it. After rapid sketch of
the turbulent history of Japan from
the 18th century until the revolution
of 1868, including an eloquent refer
ence to the young western giant,
America, laundering at the closed
doors of Japan in 1854 and COM
pelling the admittance of modern
civilization, the lecturer closed with
a glowing tribute to the Hawaiian
climate and scenery, and to the secu-
rity of this defenceless little nation
afforded by the friendship of her
great neighbor the United States.
The lecture was apparently well
enjoyed by the. audience, but all
must have felt much regret that the
health of Gen. Van Buren did not
permit him the free use of the ora
torical powers that he evinced in
numerous flashes and throughout in
his clear sonorous utterance.
Among those present were the
Ministers of Foreign Affairs and
Finance, U. S. Minister Daggett
and lady, japanese Consul Jiro Ma
kamura, Chief Justice Judd and
Justice McCully, and Consul-Gen-
eral Irwin and lady.

Mr.. CARTER ON THE CURRENCY.

Mr.. J.O. Carter through the Guide
has replied at length to the attempted
justification of the Government upon
the currency business in last Satur-
days Advertiser. To the charge that,
just previous to the passage of the
Currency Act of 1884, . small
number of patriots were eXacting
eight percentum for exchange" MIR.
Carter responds that the cause of
high exchange dates further back,
when @ thrifty arrangement was
made with Mr.. Claus Spreckels to
introduce a million dollars in silver
coin. This was violation of law
number one; and, to meet the cost of
that coinage Mr.. Spreckels issued
the exchange drawn against the su-
gar shipped by his house-hence a
shortness of exchange and high rates.
Mr.. Carter claims it is not fair to
charge Messrs. Bishop & Co. with
having made large profits upon this
boom in exchange, for the shippers
Of sugar made the rates and took the
profit.
Regarding the plea that the Cur
rency Act was cunningly or bung-
lingly devised to make trouble for
the Ministry, Mr.. Carter shows that
the Act was under the supervision of
Ministers and subject to the action
of the Legislature controlled by
them, from inception to final passage.
A second violation of law is
alleged against the Ministers in the
action that placed in certain hands
the sale of all uncurrent silver coins
in the treasury, when the fifth Sec
ton of the Act provides that tenders
should be for SLOTS of not more
than $50, 900 each," and he says he
has the best authority for saying
that this course was pursued in spite
of the advice of the Auditor Gen
eral.
Mr.. Carter shows that Messrs.
Bishop & Co. did all they could.
upon the Act coming into force, to
keep the silver certificates in circu.
lation until the Government had
time to redeem them. Thus large
amount of gold was prevented from
being shipped out of the country.
Violation Of law number three y
was the Ministers placing of IA per.
cent of the silver coin in the specia
deposits held against the certificates,
as a margin to make the silver coins
the equivalent of United States golt
coins, when the Act specifically pro
yided for the cost of conversion o.
silver into gold coinage.
The memorandum on behalf O
Messrs. Bishop & Co., which th'
Advertiser characterized as having
carried in it sufficient yiciousnes
and illegality to be rejected at sight,
Mr.. Carter says was not drawn VI
by that firm at all, but was with
drawn by them before the Minister
had shown any further sign of re
jecting it than the objection that tn
Act did not provide for the conver
sion of silver coin "not' in the trea
sury.

THIRD EDITION,
Exprr.. Train WRECKED.

NEW YORK, January 30 The most
disAs; rous Ia ilroad accident in years
occurred ttis morning TO the express on
the Bound Brook Road. The train left
the Ninth and Green streets station.
Philadelphia, a Z 80, and was running
at full speed Oh the outskirts OF Jersey
City, when a " heel of one OF the for
ward coaches BROKE, causing those
which followed TO leave the track. The
derailed cars crashed into coal train
standing on a siding, upsettinR the
coal cars and completely wrecking the
coAches.
Only miracle saved the lives OF the
eighty two passrn gers on the train. III
10 impossi 10 10 ascertain how many OF
them were wounded, ~ large mum Der
left the scene Immediately. Thirty
two, however, are known to have sus-
tanned injuries. Two OF them Will, II
is thought, die. The whole train. which
consisted of four cars, WAS completely
wrecked, and the coaches almost torn 70
pieces.
The wreck took fire in several places,
but 1t was quickly put ont. A Long
Branch traIu came along few minutes
after the accident, but was promptly
tagged and stopped just short Of TIT
wreck.
The rear brakeman broke the upper
window of the rear coach and helped
out the passengers. The newsooy, ID
Curran, said he was in the rear car, and
after the car had bumped along for
few moments it stood up on end, anc
then he fell over the stove and wa
pulled out of the window.
The scene inside the cars was on'
hard to picture. Every one was tryini
to save himself from the terrible fat
which seemed TO threaten all. SOM
clutched the seats and chung to then
in the hope of thus escaping injury
while others crowded To the iron ~orl
on the sides of the cars and held ON
1t. A IL were panic stricken, and eve
the ruddiest OF faces became pale wit
terror. God have mercy on Us,
shouted an aged man, in the second car
as it left the track and went crashing II
tothe coal train. The eide OF the car VT
completely torn out, and seats lay pile
on one another in inextricahe cont,
sion. The rails, torn from their tie
and twisted into all shapes, lay sea
tered about, and the heavy wheels
the trucks were smashed into sma
bits. Under III is mars Of rum lay u
terror stricken passengers, wedged
by the heaps Of broken timbers al
iron that surrounded them.
Those who were able 10 drag then
selves out Of the car windows and doc
did 30, and then set to work TO be
their comrades. Fortunately there we
but few ladies on the train, and tn
all escaped with slight injuries. T
passengers in the fourth car were 9
most unfortunate of all. While .
train was bounding over the ties a
smashing into the coal cars, the cou
ling of the coach broke and the car v
overturned. There were about TWEEN
people in il, and all but two were
moved in an unconscious condition.
