THE CUTTING AFFAIR.


 The Boston Advertiser is not for going to war with Mexico. On the contrary, it thinks that the attitude of the administration upon the Cutting affair ought never to have been taken, even in view of the facts as the Secre- tary of State originally understood them Assuming, says the Advertiser, that our gov ernment has right to question the reasona- bleness of the Mexican municipal law, which is probably not correct assumption, we eer- tainly could not require that the Mexican law should be more reasonable than our own. And it believes that the Secretary did not know what our law is because knowledge of it would have prevented him from making his first demand upon Mexico.
 fin support of it's position the Advertiser cites the case of the State of Massachusetts vs. Blandford. In this case the libel had been printed in the Providence Gazette, a newspaper printed in Rhode Island, but having 8 considerable circulation in Massachusetts, and the defend ant WAS indicted and convicted in the latter State. In that case the Supreme court of Massachusetts held that the facts that the defendant procured the insertion of the libel in the Providence Gazette; that that journal usually circulated in the county of Bristol, in Massachusetts, and that the number con taining the libel was actually received and did circulate in that county, ''were eompe- tent and conclusive evidence of publication | in the county of Bristol" This also is the 1 common law of England, as shown especially l by the celebrated case of the Seven Bishops, | and consequently is by inheritance the com ! mon law of the United States. According to the statement of the case upon which the de- partment based it's action, Cuttings paper was printed in Texas, but it was circulated and consequently ''published" in Mexico. It therefore seems that MT. BayaTd has been too hasty and that his zeal was not &C., cording to knowledge. This is rather hu- initiating.

A Critiaae on Taine.


 Taine frequently delights to compare him self to the anatomist welding the scaipel, to the botanist or the zoologist. But in the first place these men of science, when they institute their researches, lay aside all hu- man passions, personal predilections, natural prejudices and individual feelings, whereas the critic who can divest himself of all these things in pronouncing judgment is not yet born, and is not likely ever to be born so long as men remain only human. And soc ondly the anatomist, the aoologist, the bota- hist, can actually make good what he de- monstrates in concrete form, for he has the objects bodily before him, while the critic who has to deal with abstract conceptions such as beauty, goodness, &c.-ean only conjecture or surlnise, as conceptions are al- most always open to various interpretations. Taines critical method is then not science; his conclusions are not proofs; they are on the contrary often fallacious. Nevertheless his process has, as we have already remarked, the advantage of enhancing the reliability of criticism by continuous grouping of f", and constant endeavor to ob+"' :-ots on the o1nees ..uu this virtue is apt to de- , generate into fault. The effort to prove | too much frequently misleads Taine to wan der into false paths. He eagerly sweeps along all that serves his purposes, and thus not infrequently falls into self contradiction. It happens sometimes that he brings forward the same evidence to confirm one assertion, at another time quite opposite one. By high-sounding generalizations he magnifeE phenomena and occurrences, which appear | to anyone else quite harmless or unimpor- | tant, into weighty and portentous records. He ascribes much too great and wide-reaeh- | ing an influence to his three forces or 'esur- | rounding circumstances" However much,
 as everyone must admit, this influence oi
 race, of sphere and of the spirit of the age
 may operate on the life and the activity oi the man, we cannot go so far as to assume
 that it alone molds individuality. If so how
 does it happen that brothers and sisters car l be 50 unlike one another? Taine is too in l ductive by half. He appears to set about

The Wallingford Mystery.

The WalltngfOrd Mystery. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER: It may seem to some of your readers that the present is not proper time to criticise the acts of the officers whom the law dele gates to investigate crimes which are shroud ed in mystery, but as we differ from their view of the case, we proceed on the ground that, unrestrained by criticism, they may throw away or destroy some other relic of brutal butchery.
 Your interesting letter from Wallingford of yesterday morning among other things says: "By direction of Coroner Mix, Consta- ble Austin broke up the box in which the remains were found, preserving only the sides and top, on which marks were discov- ered.''
 In our view they had no more right to de- face the box, not even by drawing a nail not necessary to obtain it's contents, than they had to destroy that part of the body found be- cause it had no marks on it. Good detsc- tive officers keep unchanged the whole of whatever contains mysterious contents-for an absent nail, nail which protruded at it's point, because it was carefessiy driven, 8 board marked with the lines and colors of sap,a knot and various other marks of nature are often as material and reliable in identif- cation as marks which art or accident infict or append. Therefore, view it, it was an official outrage to have broken up that 
 blade point, not larger than speck, under the skillful hand of the late Dr. Jewett, real ly hung McCaffrey for the murder on East Rock, and adding the letters and @ to the forged signature of Osborn, who was murdered at the Tin bridge, fixed as a for gerry due bill held by the man who killed him and was so anxious te prove his friend ship that he showed the due bill at the cor oner's inquest, which was looked at by the coroner and others and re turned to him, but the writer asked the privilege to look at it, and doing so discovered and in the name, when Osborn spelled his name as just writ ten; while the signature to the bill was writ ten Orsborne. These things had not been discovered by the coroner or others, and the paper had been handed back to the murder CT, when the writer, on looking at the due bill, interposed and besought Mayor Peck to have the holder arrested, and the paper was handed to the Mayor as leading to more serious enquiry than forgery, and this man was also hung. How could any coro- ner or constable be so thin to have de stroyed that box, or have moved a nail not necessary to empty it's contentsi

How the ola Man Lost His satehol.

From the Cleveland Sentinel.l
 An old man carrying a corpulent satchel disembarked from the steamer City of Cleve- land one morning this wsek and started on
 his way up tawn. At the corner of Water street young man in glasses rushed up to him, seized him by the arm and exclaimed: "Ah, my dear MT. Dqmpkins- What an l unexpected meeting!"
 | "Very unexpected, very, said the old man 1 wearily. 'fBut my name is Sagsby, John K. l Sagsby, of Bucyrus, O."
 "A thousand pardons,' said the stranger, very much mortified. "You are the very picture of him. What misfortune to be so | near-sig ighted!'
 "Dont mention it," replied the old man, adding to himself as the spectacled gentle man disappeared around the corner, Same old game.'
 At the corner Of Water and Superior streets clerical looking gentleman with side whis- kers grasped his hand warmly and ex- claimed:
 | 'Is it possible2 My old friend Sagsby of | Bucyrus. It must be"
 { f"The very same," replied the old man,
 land you---why, you are Sam Jimson sure as guns, and the old man setting down his satchel, slapped him on the back with a cordiality which loosened his back teeth. "I-I-that is-yes of course, "stammered 1 the side-whiskered gentleman, "And how is dear old Bucyrus getting ona' "Bul1y," replied the old man, taking the others arm with a grip that made him l vince. "And just to think that you are Sam Jimson that used to come and see my l sister Maria years and years ago. ssAnd Maria, how is sue doings" asked
 the stranger eagerly. ''Tell me of the companion of my boyhood days" "Dead," replied the old man in chok- ing voice. "Dead and gone." .Deadl' cried the other, taking out his l handkerchief and swabbing his eyes. "Nc, expressibly sad. Cut down in her ,.roominp womanhood like tendn- 1ower Par5of3 my t excess et srlet. When did the sad e'e -s take placea"
 I ssLet me see," said the old man, tight ening his grip on the others arm. That l was in the spring of '62. She was just I two years and three months old the day she died Cholera infantum was what did
 it. Gut down, as you remarked, Tn her "I-I guess I'll have to leave you now" I said the gentleman of the side whiskers, I struggling to get away. "I have an ap- | pointment across the river" l 'sSo have I,'' said the old man, land on 1 the way we'll talk about that twenty-five | dollars l loaned you when you came up to l Cleveland. Haven't got it with you? We'll, perhaps that policeman across the street | wonder will lend it to you. Suppose We" | But just at this point the clerical look 1 ing gentleman slipped out of his coat, gal
 loped off down Superior street, turned un-
 der the Viaduct and disappeared.
 "Cur'us," muttered the old man, going
 through the coat to see if there was any
 change in the pockets. 'This is the third

 An Element of DisaGection i'm India. From the Contemporary Review.l
 There is one element of permanent disaf- | lection I fear among the Indian population. The Mohammedan descendant of the an- cient Moguls still behold at Delhi and Agra 1 the departed magnifcence of great empire. The Tai at Agra, the immortal work of Shah Jehan, is without exception the most exqui- l site piece of architecture in the world Eu-
 rope has nothing to equal it. The vast mosques and mausoleums of the Mogu1 En- perors, their huge fortresses, the gigantic ruins of deserted cities which incumber the plains for many miles around Delhi, speak of | the grandeur of an empire which was only second to that of ancient Rome It were vain to think that the descendants of those who created this empire can love their con- querors. There is too much evidence that the ancient centers of Mohammedan authori- ty are still far from friendly to the power that supplanted them. Nor have the Mo- hammedans profited as the Hindus have done by British education; they long stood sul- lenly aloof and refused to enter our schools, and so the path to advancement was seized by the Hindus and they have the mortifca- tion of seeing their former subjects rising above them in the social scale. I am glad to think that this opposition to modern ideas is subsiding, and in some places Mohammedans
 are sending their children more freely to our
 schools and seminaries; but it will be long
 before old memories pass away and the new
 order of things be heartily accepted. The
 Mohammedans are believed to number about
 one-ffth of the population of India; but
 many of those are only Hindus (whose fore
 fathers had been forcibly converted) slightly
 vanished over. Such is much of the popu-
 lation of eastern Bengal; they are not fanati
 cal Mussulmans of the Arab type. It is
 chiefly in the Punjaub and northwest prov
 inces, especially at Delhi, the old Mogul cap
 ital, that disaffection is still active.

A cheering feature of the business situa- tion is the steady improvement of railroad returns from all over the country. The gain in June was large, but the returns for July were still more favorable. The earnings for the latter month exceeded those of any previous:.month of this year, were more than s2,O00,00O in excess of those of July, 1885, and in fact constituted the best month ly statement that has been seen since Octo- Der, 1883. Every section of the country has apparently participated in the improvement, and out of sixty eight railroad companies re- porting only ten have fallen behind year ago.

An interesting event in connection with the 500th jubilee of Heidelberg university is the filling of the great Heidelberg cssk with wine. Visitors to the old castle will rerneml Der that celebrated cask, the largest in the world, lying in the vaults of the Friedrich building. Its length is 301s feet, diameter a5 feet, and the slaves measure over nine inches in thickness. It was built in 1751 at cost of e8,000. A staircase leads up on either side to platform on the top, which affords room for several couples to dance. Accord ing to survey just made this Goliath of casks holds 2s3, ,229 bottles of wine, and it is safe to assume will contribute greatly to- ward increasing the the general massffrymakiug and revelry which flls Heidelberg and the Neekar valley during the present week.

 Chicago has found out that 1t has in the last year drank over half 8 million gallons of 'imported" beer made in this country and paid for it double the price of American beer. When the Chicago beer drinkers think that they might have had twice as much beer as they have had for the same money they are sad.
