BEHAVIOR IN TIE srRBET.

with whom you are acquaInted'
you bow, raising your hat slightly
with the left hand, which leaves
your right at liberty to shake hands
if you stop If the gentleman is
ungloved, you must take oil yours,
not otherwise.
Meeting lady, the rule is that
she should make the first salute, or
at least indicate by her manners
that she recognizes you. Your |
bow must be lower, and yoar hat
carried further from your head
but YOU never offer to shake hands;
that is her privilege.
The right, being the post OF
honor, is given to superlors and
ladies, except in the street, when
they take the wall; as farthest from
danger from passing carriages, III
walking with or meeting them.
In walking with Il lady, You are
not bound to recognize gentlemen
with whom she is not acquainted,
or have they, in such case, any
right to salute, much less to speak
|
to you.
| Whenever orwherever yOustand
to converse with II lady, or while
handing her into or out OF a carrl-
age, keep your hat in your hand.
Should her shoe become unIaced,
or her dress in any manner dlsor-
Ederel, fail no to apprise her OF it,
respectfully, and offer your assis-
lance. \ gentleman may hook a
dress or lace shoe with perfect
propriety, and should be able to DO
so gracefully.
Whether with a lady or gentle
man, a street talk should be short
one. and in either case, when you
have passed the customary compli-
mcnts, if you wish to continue the
conversation, you must say, "Per-

KANSAS TERRITORY, Ian. %, '57.
G. W. BRowE, Ese.-DEAR SIR:-
The question asked me by all whom
1 meet now, is, "How do you like
the Governors Message?" My re-
ply is, at is q frst-rate Message, ex-
cept one paragraph: and that don't
injure the citizens of the Territory at
home, but does us an injury abroad. !"
The Governor, after stating that he
had sent troops to arrest those who
were marching against Hickory Point,
says -
"While a portion of the army was
performing this duty, I was advised
that a large body of men was ap-
preaching the town of Lawrence, de-
termined upon Its destruction. I at
once ordered three hundred United
States troops to that place and repair
ed there in person. Within four
miles of Lawrence / found force OF
twenty seven hundred men, consisting
of citizens of this Territory and oi
other places. organized as Territorial
Militia" !"
Now, Mr.. Editor, let Us strike out
Territory" and insert Missouri
and other places" for we all well
know that there was not twenty eiti.
zens of the Territory in that army Of
twenty-seven hundred men. And il
from Missouri, what right had Acting
Governor Woodson to enrol them as
his militia?
These remarks are not made out o.
any disrespect to Gov. Geary, for
have no doubt but he was told that ;
large portion of the army were citi
zens of the Territory. My objec
is to set things right upon the record
for with this exception there is M
man in the United States who coulC
have delivered better message.
By giving this short statement
place in the Herald Of Freedom, it vii
prevent the idea going abroad tina
we were trying to cut each other
throats. Ysurs Truly,

In enclosing my subscription to the
Herald of Freedom, allow me to cor
rect an error in the circular published
in your paper of Dec. 9th, of the con-
tributioDs of clothing from Massa-
chusetts to Kansas.
The town of Plymouth is reported
as having sent one case, and the town
of Clintonvile seven cases. 1t should
read, as in the list published in the O..
c.. Memorial-of which I send you q
copy-Plymouth seven, and Chilton-
ville two cases. The village of Chill
tonville is part of the town of Ply
mouth. 1 have the authority of DIR.
Cabot for stating that the mistake in
the circular was an error of the prin-
ter in copying his original report.
The good old town of Plymouth
has taken deep interest in the strug-
giles and sufferings of our friends in
Kansas, and has literally contributed
to their aid. Besides the cases OF
clothing above enumerated, it has sent
more than one thousand dollars to the
treasurer of the State Kansas Aid
Committee, and some hundreds more
in subscriptions to the n. E. Emf
grant Aid Company. In no town oi
Massachusetts will there be more sin
cere Joy when Kansas is admitted, as
she must eventually be, into the glo-
