AN ANEcDarE or GEN. GRAsT.-It is said
that when Gen. Grant was going down from
Washington to the front one day last week,
the train, having attached to it the special car,
stopped at Brandy Station. Some soldiers
who were waiting to go down asked if they
could not get in:o the car. ''No," was the
answer of an officer, this is Gen. Grants
special car" Gen. Grant, who was sitting
by the window, promptly thrust out his head
and said: Gen. Grant occupies only one
seat the soldiers can ride"

The ART OF BEING POLITE. First and fore,
most, don't try to be polite. 1t will spoil it
all !
If you keep overwhelming your guests
with ostentatious entreaties to make them
selves at home, they will very soon begin to
wish they were there. Let them find out
that you are happy to see them by your ac-
tons rather than your words. '.-i u
Always remember to let bashfui people
alone at first. 1t is the only way to setthem
at their ease. Trying to draw them out has
sometimes the contrary effect of driving them
out-of the.house. ~ Is 81 a.. .ss---.,...
Leading the conversation is dangerous
experiment. Better follow in its wake, and
if you want to endear yourself to takers,
learn to listen well. Never make fuss about
anything never talk about yourself-and
always preserve perfect composure, no mat
ter what solecisms or blunders others may
commit. Remember that it is q very foolish
proceeding to lament that you cannot Offer
your guests better house, or furniture, or
viands. 3ie
1t is fair to presume that their visit is to
you, not to these surroundings. Give people
pleasant impression of themselves, and they
will be pretty sure to 60 away with pleas
ant impression of your qualities On just
such slender wheels as these the whole fabric
Of society turns it is our business, then, to
keep them in perfect revolving order.

TBR WAY They Do IT.-Throughout the
North West the enthusiasm is awakened, and
volunteering for the one hundred days SER
vice is everywhere much brisker than in this
county, heretofore the leader, and banner
county. This should not be. There are
plenty of young n en- in this city alone, able
to 60, to ill to the maximum, two or more
companies. Clerks in stores and others Of
the non~producing class, can be spared fer
hundred days fro,ic, with the greatest ease
If our merchants would follow the good ex-
ample of those IN other cities, reserving the
situations and paying regular wages during
the absence of their clerks, it would have a
beneficial effect. In Indianapolis, Keokuk,
and other cities, young ladies are volunteer
ing in large numbers to supply the places Of
clerks who enter the hundred days service
They engage to serve for $13 per month, the
merchants being required to pay the clerks
their salaries during their absence, with this
reduction. What say the young ladies Of
Muscatine, to this course? Let not our coun-
ty lag behind and lose her prestige; let her
be foremost in the race.

HOME AFTER BUSINESS HouRs.-The road
along which the man Of business travels in
pursuit Of competence or wealth, is not a
macadamized one, nor does it ordinarily lead
through pleasant scenes and well-springs of
delight. On the contrary, it is rough and
rugged path, beset with wait bit thorns,
and full of pitfalls, which can only be avoid
ed by the exercise Of watchful care and cir
cumspection. After each days journey over
this worse than cordury turnpike, the way
