One of the characteristics of yellow Journalism is that it Overdoes every thing. One of the opponents of the vel low in New York City really succeeded in accomplishing something brilliant recently. In four days from the discov- cry of the dismembered fragments of a man in the river it had identified him, proved that he had been murdered and pointed out the supposed guilty persons. It's reporters gave rapid and brilliant aid to the police, and for that much the paper was entitled to credit, although many persons will believe that it is not the province of a news paper to usurp the duties of the detec- tives. However, no fault might have been found with that if the yellow journal had not spoiled its coup with an anti-climaX. It proceeded the other day to tell how 1t did the work. It's methods were plain to any of it's read CTS from day to day, but it insisted on telling how Jones called the office on the telephone and informed the office
 boy that another leg had been found in the river, and how the office boy start editor acted with dispatch by assigning BrOwn to the mOrgue, Jones to police headquarters, and Robinson to drag the East River. The public was told how the piece of Oilcloth which sur rounded the fragments of the murder ed man was photographed in colors and used as evidence, and let into all the petty details of the investigation step by step. At the finish everyone knows what the reporters had for lunch, and the seething brain of the city editor is an open book to the for tunate readers of the yellow journal. The account reads for all the world like an installment for one of those penny dreadfuls which engage the rapt attention of messenger boys. The whole effect of the newspapers work is spoiled. But that is the way of vel low Journalism.

The death of H. NJ. Higgins at San Diego. Cal. removes from the world of music a man who played some what important part in the early nllsl- cal history of Chicago. He was not the first musical dealer in the city, as has been stated. There were two or three who preceded him, but he was the first one who published music the1e to any extent Prior to his location Ill Chicago he had taught music both Ill New York and Wisconsin. In 1So0, Tn ccuT Tection with his brother, A. r. Hlg- gins Ee opened a music store on Kan dolph street, which soon become the musical headquarters. The trade was largely devoted to sheet music, and the firm published many songs and bal lads of the popular sort. Though Eot a trained musician in any sense, he was sufficiently up in the business to know what suited the popular taste, and the
 firm made some money. The business
 was closed out about 1871, and H. M
 Higgins went to California, where he invested his earnings in a fruit rancn, which he named Bonnie Brai," a few miles south of San Diego. He became quite well known in Southern Califor- mia by a seedleSS lemon which he rais- ed, though for some reason it never made the success in the market he had anticipated. He was a man of eccen- tric disposition, had been for years a radical spiritualist, had domestic trou- bles, finally lost much of his property. and died comparatively poor. His death will cause much sorrow in the region where he lived, as he was wide ly known and was much esteemed for his geniality and hospitality, notwith- standing his many reverses and disap- pointments.
