The TRUE LADY.--A celebrated writer
says: mo woman can be lady who would
wound or mortiiy another. No matter how
beautiful, how refined, how cultivated she
may be, she is in reality coarse, and the in
nate vulgarity Of her nature manifests itself
here. Uniformly kind, corteous, and polite
treatment of all persons is one mark Of a
true woman.

W Some few years ago MIR. Kidwell wss
preaching to large audience in wild part
Of llliaeia, and announced for his text sIn
my Fathers honse are many mansions" He
had scarcely read the words, when m old
coon stood up and said
~ tell you folks, that's lie! I know his
father well. He lives fifteen miles from Lex.
ington, 10 old Kentuck, in an old leg cabin,
and there amt but one room in the house."
At another time tho same Universalsi
preacher was holding forth in meeting
house in Terre Haute. He had gone about
half through his discourse whenn man came
in, quite the worse for liquor, and reeled up
in front OF the pulpit, where he steadied him
self and listened. The preacher was earn
est in proving that there is no hell, and urged
theUniversalist doctrine with great eloquence,
till the poor drunkard cried out to him:
"Thnt's It, KidweI', my old friend; make
them words true, or il you don't I'm goner."
That brought the sermon to close. It
was IN application quite unexpected, but all
the more forcible on that account. ua 3.

A CuBERNAToRIAL RAcE.-One of the

Gibbs down east Governor. On Tuesday
Seward bet Gibbs five dollars that he did rot
dare to start out bare.headed and in his

took up the bet and propelled. Seward fol.
lowed after, and by starting the cry Of "stop

the station house, and thus win the bet by
stratagem. 1t was no 60, however; Gibbs
put on steam, rolled up his trowsers, and
won the race by a neck.

A NOBLE AcT.-The Milwaukee News re-
cords, as follows, one of the bravest and no.
blest acts ever performed by railroad engi'
neer- l" ''a'l
On Wednesday last, as the train on the La
Cross Railroad was coming east, and when
about a mile east of Cambria, the engineer
saw little boy about five, years old, on the
track. He Immediately whistled to "brake,
and reversed the engine, but as II was on the
down grade, he found he could DOT stop the
train, which, when the child was first seen,
was under full motion. The engineer sta.
toned himself on the forepart of the locomo-
tive, and watching his chance, jumped ahead
of the engine, snatching the boy from the
track, and thus saved his life. The train pass
ed on some distance before it stopped. The
name of the engineer is L. T. Meads, who
deserves unqualified praise for his noble act.
There are few men that possess the courage
and the nerve to perform such feat.

CRY Cnrprr.-The following remarks by

CRY CRrDrT=-The following remarks by
the, commercial editor Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, may serve as warning to many cities
besides Cincinnati. They are doubtless pain
fully true:
: City credit is being rapidly exhausted, and
II is not at all unlikely that the credit Of ma.
ny of the leading cities in the United States
will, after a few yesrs, be in as bad repute as
that Of the defuhct railroads is now. Citi-
zens have been robbed by the men elected to
I'll important Offices, and now they are being
rewarded for their negligence in permitting
nctoriously bad men to be selected, or for
misplaced confidence. This day there are
several large cities on the verge OF bankrupt
cy, and Others ure tending rapidly in the same
direction. City credit, we repeat, is being
rapidly exhausted, and the day is not far dis
tant when there will be no sale for three
fourths of the city bonds now afloat.

A story is going the rounds of the press
which win show the real consideration that
th. demasogue leaders Of the Democracy
have for the Irish, on other subjects than
that of voting. We condense from the Chr
caro tribune of Oct. 2d. 1t seems that
bady of spectators had long looked upon
the site of Superior City, Wisconsin, as one
they visited TO possess. They were Douglas,
Frank Pierce Sidney Webster, Vice Presi-
dent Breckenridge, jesse D. Bright, and
Others. Before the land was brought into
market and before it was even surveyed,
when it could only be held By occupation,
these spectators employed az agen; TO in
duce company of Irishmeu to build on the
ground. They did 50, erected their huts.
and staked of and cultivated their gardens.
They fulfilled the requirements Of the Pre-
emp.ion Law, excepting in recording their
intention 10 claim tie land. When the land
came into market, no legal claim to it could
be found ON record, and the agent Of these
.ueculators bid it in, aid ordered the Irish
men to decamp with their pigs and property
Now. il vas the intention of the Pre- -enption
Act to protect this very class Of ignorant
settlers, against the nonresident sPecula-
tors. Under it, lawyer for the Irish
brought suit before the General Land Of
fee in Wisconsin to recover the land, on the
ground Of prior settlement. The suit was
decided against Messrs. Douglas, Brecken-

the city Of New York will be out of employ.

Yards IN New York are nearly idle, the
