As we want our readers to know how
TO behave themselves when out from
home we subjoin the following from a
Washington letter writer. We only
add: please don't go to putting on these
city airsathome and among respectable
people:
Never. or very rarely. offer to carry
a lady's shawl or parasol, or put your
hand on her shoulderor round her waist
(as is so often done) in assisting her
out Of the carriage, or into her seat
To delicate woman all such clapping
and clawing is the most insuIierable
rudeness. The proper way when you
alight, is TO offer your left arm as a
support for the lady's right hand, and
TO hold your right hand in readiness.
should the exigencies of skirts. &c.,
permit her taking it with her left. In
ascending a staircase. keep side by side
with the lady. but do not be too osten-
tacious in offering your arm, lest in the
attempt TO take it she neglects the
management of her skirt, steps on her
dress, and either falls or tears it out at
the waist.
II you attend two ladies, place the
one next you who is entitled either by
rank or preference, to the post of honor
but on no account whatever walk
between them. A man with lady on
each arm is laughable paraphrase OF
donkey laden with two paniers.-
Observe a different rule, however, in
taking your place in concert ROOM
The gentleman in those should be pre-
ceeded and followed by a lady. At a
table. a gentleman and lady who have
aguest speak now ofthe hotel table
for we are really getting to know scar
cely any other in this country, should
always place him or her between. II
the guests are also two. then you place
your lady guest between your wife and
yourself, while the gentleman takes
the other end Of the line, leaving the
ladies in the middle. The logic, as
well as the convenience Of all these
little arrangements. will be suggested
BY single thought-and how much
cwkwardness and consequent NORTH,
cation and annoyance, would be avoid.
ed by careful observance Of these
simple rules.
There is one practice among gentle
man at theatres. concerts, DC, which
ought to be condemned and tabooed a.
a monstrous barbarism; that is, leaving
lady alone once or twice in the course
Of the evening and going out to take 1
drink This destable habit is purely
American. and il certainly is a sligh
which no ladyof spirit ought to endure
As TO chewing. OF course no gentleman
can do that in the presence OF ladies'
Another disgraceful thing is the way il
which ladiessit all the evening with
gentleman's arm pressed closely aroun'
the back of the neck. in amanner whicl
anywhere else. would be called down
right hugging.
This last paragraph is orthodo'
every where. Ed.

CHAPTER 9.

ChAflEH y
"There's some exception man an woman,
But this is gentry life in common"
There was a little interruption In the
conversation of the ladies' Of the Union
Missionary Sewing Society, occasioned
by the entrance oil member. She
came In painting and rolling up her large
blue eyes, as II she had been driven in
by a clap of thunder, and threw herself,
apparently exhausted. on the first seat
which presented itself, aud begged some
Of the ladies TO give her glass OF wa
ter. She was a very fine looking wo-
man, as Mrs. Jenkins said, il she would
only let herself be, but she put on so
many airs and outlandish ways, and
claimed so many attentions, that there
was nothing OF herself left. She was
quite tall, her forehead high and expan-
sive, for a woman'sto be, but Mrs. Stel-
la White Rumsey thought she had as
good a right to use certain fine sharp
edged instruments as the other sex, and
there was no reason she could not have
as intellectual forehead as any one else.
So she shaved it up in front, to suit her
ideas of model brow.
She was poetess, and had written
many communications over the signature
of "Stella Sebella." She occupied the
poets corner in the Hap-Hazard Tele.

the Society. II is true, she did very lit

she regarded not" Whenever her vote
was needed. or her opinion desired
(Which the ladies' sometimes did her the
compliment to crave) her thoughts had
gone forth into the interminable fields

In the year 1914, two hundred
pounds Of new species of gum were
shipped from Singapore India. II was
considered doubtful at the time wheth-
err the gum could ever be rendered
sufficiently useful TO mankind to be-
come an article ofcommerce. The ex-
pertinent however, succeeded. More
than twenty thousand pounds were ex-
ported in the succeeding year. The
fame of the article spread north, south

ADVERTIsEMENT.
The wood-Gas Controversy.
RATHER sharp but distant firing II


RATHER sharp but distant firing is
IN carried on by some persons interested in
Wood-Cas Patents; and we perceive thai the
smoke Of their cannon has somewhat obscured
their vision. Dr. c. G. Page, the attorney for
through our columns, L. r. Breisach, Of this city,
has presented those OF Petienkofer 81 Rutland, OF
Bayaria-he being their assignee-through The
columns Of the DAILY Times Of the Sd instant He
states that the first patent for the Hawaiian inven-
ton was issued on February "a, 1881, an authen-
iicated copy OF which has been fled in our Patent
Office also, that the claims Of his assgnors were
fled in the Office, TO protect their rights, more
than year ago. As no patent can be obtained
for making or using Wood Gas, the disputed
point relates 10 the apparatus, which embraces
the relocating Of the gas-passing il over red-hot
surface in its way TO the cooler-after IL is gene
rated; this is clearly stated in DIR. Pages letter,
on page 50. Now, as Mcdonnell claims 10 have
invented the apparatus for relocating Wood-Gas,
as FAR back as 1S49-two years previous 10 the
granting of the Bavarian patent-and as he OBJ
tanned patent for the same, on the Goth day OF
September last, although contested by Pettenko-
fer a. Rutland, we cannot well conceive who l.. X
Breisach wants to frightsn, by declaring, through
the columns of the Tunes, that he will prosecute
the violafors of the Bavarian invention. He gives
this notice TO oil who take interest in the intro
ducton Of this invention, but, in doing so, he for
got 10 present any fact upon which the public can
rely, 10 show what patent rights he possesses
When he again writes 70 inform the public that he
has certain patent rights and will prosecute those
who infringe them, we hope he viii be so good az
10 state what these rights are, so that the public
may know what he misunderstanding Asnerioan.

BosToE, Nov 25.--T he steamer Canada reached
her dock At halfpast eight o'clock this morning.
Her mails were brought 10 the city last night and
forwarded in the morning train 10 New York.
She had her fgure-head and bowsprit carried
away, and her cuIwater and bow somewhat in
jured, but in every other respect she shows no
signs of the collisions. f
The steamer Ocean, il appears, in going down
the bay in company with the steamers Forest City
and Boston, was compelled, by the proximity Of
these boats TO attempt TO cross the Canadas bows
The Canada promptly locked water, but was so
close that the collision could not be avoided A
large hole was knocked in the Oceans bows, just
abalt the wheeLhouse, through which the water
poured in torrents. The force Of the concussion.
caused the greatest CONSERVATION on board the
unfortunate steamer, which was much increased
by the flames bursting out, from the upsetting Of
the stoves. Many passengers leaped overheard,
but boats were immediately sent TO them, and, so
far as is known, all, except the three before re-
ported drowned, were saved The dead bodies
of the man, woman, and child, have not yet been
identified 1t is thought all those injured will re-
cover.
The Ocean was side wheel steamer, well APP
pointed and substantial, Of six or seven hundred
tons; four years old, and owned by Rupus r.
Page, Of HallowcIl, Captain Nathaniel KumbalI,
Of this city, and others. She cost about seventy
FIVE thousand dollars.
