The first daily train leaves Cairo at A, M; and
at that hour we duly transferred ourselves to a
sleeping car, and were awakened in the morning
to take breakfast at Centralia. Of that breakfast
l can say that it was good and may say ditto
of all the rest of the meals route excepting
that last one at Easton, Pa. which was character
lied principally by lamentable superficiency of
dirty table-cloth. And just here, heaven forbid
that should forget to advert to that delicious
petit souper at Rockwell's saloon, in Indianapolis

will tell you: Again are we indebted to the
friendly Intervention of gentlemanly and obliging
conductor. He gave us all the information we
required; he telegraphed to have supper prepared
for us on arrival at Indianapolis; he telegraphed
to have berths reserved for in the sleeping car
and he made himself generally agreeable. The
name of this model conductor is, Shartle, and he
adorns the road between Terre Haute and Indian.

TIE VALUE OF GOOD MANNERS.
Considerations for HO tel Keepers,
Railroad Men, JSc.

One of the growing evils Of the present
day, and which causes mo re annoyance
and discomfort to all elias YES of people,
than any other, is the want of politeness
of certain employees IN certe in positions in
almost every description # public bust
ness. To such an extent has this evil
grown, and so widespread is the resulting
dissatisfaction, that IT is time, full time,
that leading business m IN. heads of de-
partments, managers of railroad com
panies, proprietors of irst-clsss hotels,
and the owners and chic IS of every grade
of institutions intended for the benefit or
amusements of the. peel h,e, should begin
at once and speedil y consuuste a
thorough reforms ref Jrnl under which
the whcle community Inay be permitted
to enjoy the blessings and c. lmforts of our
country without being subjected to the
supercilious treatment of those who are
selected to discharge the d.uties of com
parstively inferior positions.
1t is as easy to be courte1 us snd polite
as to be rude and unmanne rly, and cer-
tsiDly much more agreeable and pleasant.
If, collectively and indi yiduaIly, we
studied more to please ea ch other, we
should be mutually vastly benefited by
the result How often have men of high
character, who have risen to -eminence in
public positions, and enjoyed the esteem
and appreciation of thousands of their
fellow citizens been mortiie beyond
measure by theimpertinence and naughty,
overbearing demeanor of that most i'm
portant of all personages-in his own
estimstion-the clerk of leadn lg hotel.
The good, old-fsshioned landls 1rd-the
Bonifsce of ancient days, who stood on
the steps of his porch TO welcome the I'D
vent Of the stage cosch-whO took his
guests BY the hand, personally superin-
tended the arrangements for their comfort
and entertained thsm with ell thp man
