Asa reason why great fuss is being made
over the trial by Mexican court Of an Amer
lean citizen for an offence which his friends
claim was committed on American soil, (but
which claim the Mexicans do not admit,) while
no notice is taken of the action of an English
court In a like cAse IL Is given out as an expla-
nation that the two cases are not precisely par
aliel, inssmuch the first Is a criminal pros
ecutiop, while the latter Is q civil action, for
damages only. This is true. The distinction
urged lies, however. In the will OF the plaintiff
In the case or I'm a difference in the statutory
penalties In the two countries for the same
offence, and not in the nature of the cases them
selves II does not touch the tial principle
involved. The broad. clear fact remains that
the courts nf two foreign countries have on
complaint of the injured party, taken Jurisdic-
ton and tried an American citizen for the
offence of libel These libes were published
not in the country where the complaint was
made and the trial had, but in the United
States. though under somewhat different cir
cumstances. In the first case the libel was
charged to have been printed and published in
New York, and circulated in England through
the mails, and possibly by other common car
riers. In the second it was printed and pub
lished In FL Paso, within the United States, and
circulated in Mexico, as the authorities OF that
country allege, and aver that they can satisfac-
torily prove, by the direct act of the deiendant-
himself domiciled at the time in nMexico,-though NJ
he first published II in that country, and after
wards retracted IL. But, however that may be-
In both cases the defendant was declared guilty,
and Judgment given accordingly. The latter
case Is the "outrage" which the jingoes who
want war with Mexico are bowling about The
other they conveniently ignore. How far the
relative strength OF the two countries named
influences their views of the matter Will always
remain an open question.
A few years ago Mir. Samuel Wood, New
York bachelor, died and left his entire fortune,
amounting To more than S6OO,OOO, to the
founding of a musical conservatory college
in that city. Musicians of all sorts were de-
lighted. and expected great things from 1t. But
now the will has been broken by Woods only
heir, q MIR. Hewlett, who takes the money
since Mr. Woods death, however. the facilities
for getting a musical education in New York
have improved SO much that his conservatory
will not be as greatly missed as formerly. The
fact is that the conservatory system of teaching
IL usc is rapidly becoming obsolete. 1t is only
adapted To students of mediocre ability. None
Of the great composers or performers were edu-
ratsd on that principle. The best way to learn
music Is TO study privately, under a first-class
teacher.

1t is quite an insult to ask Malay il
he will sell anything. Malays from the
up country used sometimes to find their
way to my door with their hands full of
fowls, which they said they wished to
lay at my feet They were the poorest
ryots possible, with nothing on but
ragged and dirty sarong, yet they were
quite Mortified at my asking if they had
brought their fowls to sell They care
fully explained that the fowls (perhaps
several dollars WORTHY were present
to me, but in the same breath they sug-
gested to me that if out of my compass
sion for them would give them a small
trife to buy rice it would be very accept
able. 1t seemed to me that the distinc-
ton between selling and this proposed
proceeding was imaginary, so | used to
force them in a hard-hearted way to
mention a price. generally found that
the more delicacy and refinement of
feeling they had paraded the higher was
the price they wanted and the less the
fowls would bear examination. The
owner appeared to think that the fowls
would taste better on account of having
belonged to noble race that have never
soiled its 'scutchion by commercial deal

AColIection OF Nfurillos.

The chief object of interest TO visitors
at Madrid is the gallery of paintings at
the museum. which contains a large
proportion of the pictures ofMurillo and
nearly all of those of Valasquez. Ii is
probably the richest in pictures of any
single gallery in the world; for, besides
the liberal display of the work of these
two great artists, it numbers some of the
largest and best canyasses of Rubens.
several landscapes of Claude Lorraine,
with quite a variety of canvaSSes of DIFF
ferent sizes by Teniers and other artists
of the Dutch school, and notable col
lection of paintings by the great Italian
masters. think the first sight of any
representative collection of Murillo's
pictures is disappointing. There are
but two or three at the Vatican, the gift
of Queen Isabella, but though these
have the artists beauties and peculiari-
ties, they seem in no way remarkable.
1t was my fortune TO see only those
at the museum and one or two of those
atthe cathedral, this great editice being.
like all Spanish churches, badly lighted
and the last place in the world where
the work of any good artist ought TO be
placed One of the latter is among his
very best. Those at the museum are
good, but of varying degrees of excel
lence and unpleasantly monotonous for
the constant repetition of sacred subjects,
the Madonna and saints, with the infant
Christ, being most numerous. Murillo's
pictures are always treated with fine
sentiment from the religious standpoint.
They are invariably well-drawn, and at
once rich and delicate in color and eff
feet, admirable in all matters of tech
nique. But they lack breadth and ro-
business. perhaps manliness, in compare
son with those of the great Italian
painters, who seem to have known how
to refine the utmost degree of delicacy
without loss of vigor, or even with the
figures of Robera, so expressive and
handled with such masculine strength
with which they are seen in constant
contrast in Madrid. Cor. San Francis.

OF course there viii be more or less
cutlery against the cnlongation and mar

uncomfortable enough at the best. But
when it conforms meaSurahly TO the
size of the human head and keeps up
something of the spirit of the soft hat or
turban the human eve is not too severe
" offended. But to run 1t up to plain,

for the prevailing beauty of men.
Possibly the return to the Puritan
shape of hat may swing us back some
what toward Puritan morals, and in
some things some people might be in
elined 10 call that an Improvement But
it is doubtful if the hat would accom-
plish much toward improved morality.
Even the head is rather ineffective in
that line, and much less can be said Of
hats. The narrow top hats have not

the men are much tougher subjects, On
the whole, little is TO be hoped for in the
new hats of the day Philadelphia
