People will kiss, yet not ono in a
hundred knows how to extract bliss
from lovely lips, no moro than they
know how to make diamonds from
charcoal. And yet it is easy, at least
for usi This little item is not alone
for new beginners but for the many
who go to- it like hunting coons or
shelling corn. First know whom you
arc to kiss. Don't make q mistake, al
though mistake may be good. Don't
jump up like trout for fly, and
smack woman on the neck, on the
ear, on tho corner of her forehead, on
tho end of nose, or knock off her wa
terfall, or jerk her bonnet ribbon, in
haste TO get through. The gentleman
should be little the tallest. He
should have clean face, kind eye, n
mouth full of expression instead of to.
bacco. Don't kiss everybody, includ-
ing nasty little dogs, male or female.
Don't sit down TO it stand up. Need
not be anxious about getting IN q
crowd. Two persons are plenty to
corner and catch kiss moro persons
spoil the sport Stand firm; it won't
hurt any aftcryou are used to it. Take
the left hand Of tho lady in your right;
let your hat 60 to-any place out Of
tho way; throw the left hand gently
over the shoulder Of the lady, and lot
tho hand fall down upon the right side
toward tho belt Don't be in a hurry;
draw her gently, lovingly to your
heart her head will fall lightly upon
your shoulder-and q handsome shoul-
derstrapit makOs! Don't be in hur-
ry, send little life down you left arm
and let it know its business. Her left
hand is in your right, let thore be AN
expression to that, not like the grip Of
q vice, but a gentle clasp, full Of elcc.
tricity, thought and respect. Don't
be in q hurry! IIcrhead lies careless.
ly on your shoulder! You are nearly
heart to heart! Look down into hor
half closed cyesl Gently, yet mantul
ly, press her to your bosom Stand
firm, and providence will giyo you
strength for the ordeal. Be brave, but
don't bc in hurry. Her lips are al.
most open Lean lightly forward with
your head, not the body. Take good
aim tho lips moet--the eyes close
tho heart opcns-the soul rides the
storms, troubles and sorrows of life,
don't bo in hurry)-heaven opers
before you-the world shoots from un
der your feet as meteor flashes across
the evening sky, don't DO afraid)-
the nerves dance before tho just erect
ed altar Of love as zephyrs dance with
the dew trimmed flowers heart
forgets its bitterness, and tho art Of
kissing is learned. No noise, no fuss,
no Tutoring and squirming like hook

II don't require brass band to make it
legal. Don't jab down on a beautiful
mouth as ifspoaring for frogs Don't
grab and yank the lady as If she was
a struggling colt Don't muss her hair,
scratch down her collar, bite her cheek,
sqizzle her rich ribbons, and leave her

a large assemblsge gathered at that point,

accompanied by two members Of his staff,
and surrounded by 8 large number Of
American and Mexican citizens Speech

tivities. and the occasion was replete with
interest, and enthusiasm.
The following extract from letter writ
ten by General Sheridan was read:
GThere is no use to beat around the bush
in this Mexican matter. We should give
a permanent government 10 that Republic.
Our work in crushing the rebellion will
not be done till this takes place. The
advent of Maximillian was portion of the
rebellion, and his fall should belong to it
history. Most of the Mexican soldiers oi
MAxinilisn's srmy would throw down
their arms the moment we crossed the Rio
Grande. The French influence is governed
by sheer impudence.
The letter from General Sheridan wai
greeted by enthusiastic exPres=ions O.

Brigsdier- General Dodd, who has charge
of the ssssssins, reports that on the trip DR..
Mudd acknowledged to Captain Budd,
General DOdd, and Others, that he knew
Booth when he came to his house on the
morning after the assassination, but was
afraid 10 tell of his having been there, fear
ing the life of himself and fnmily would be
endangered thereby. He knew that Booth
would never be taken sliVe. He also &C
knoWledged that he had been acquainted
with Booth for some time, and that he was
with Booth at the National Hotel on the
evening referred to by Weichman that he
met Booth on the street and Booth said he
wanted him to introduce him to John Sur
rstt. They started up Seventh street on
their way to Mrs. Surratts house, and on
their way they met John Surratt and
Weichman and returned to Booths room
at the National Hotel, where he and Sur
raft had some conversation of private
character. He said that the Military Com
mission in his case had done their duty, and
as far as they we're concerned the sentence
in his case was just; but some witnesses
had sworn falsely and murderously.-
OLaughln acknowledged the Court had
done its duty, but insisted that he was only
implicated IN the plst TO capture the Presi-
dent. Arnold also said he was party to
the plot to capture the President only, and
that he believed the assassination was got
ten up by Booth only q few hours before
executing it. Spsngler insisted that he had
nothing to do with any plot, and that his
expression thst he would help Booth all he
could was in reference to selling his horse.
