TERMS. OF ADVERI SING
Petroleum as Fuel.

There is good news for, those inter-,
ested in petroleum. A series Of of
fetal experiments have been, for some
time in progress at Woolwici,. Eng
land, and the results have been Of the,
most gratifying character. The OBJ
ject of these experiments was to test.
the capacity of petroleum. as substi-
tute for coal in the production. of steam.
One grand conclusion arrived at is
that by the use Of the oil an engine of
one hundred horse power becomes ex@
alted into one of 40 or so, the gain
being from 40 to so per cent. It has
also been satisfactorily determined that
the oil may be carried to sea in tanks,
and be incapable of ignition, even
though a red hot canlron-baH went.
through the mass The furnace re-
quired for the use Of oil would be very
small, so that large amount of stor-
age room would be saved The report
states that sEthe first great naval power
that adopts petroleum will have an inn.
mediate advantage over all other me-
tions, and the latter viii be compelled
to accept the Invention, however de-
termined at first to deny its value. -

That Hammer.

Yesterday afternoon a nan was seen
running down stairs from one of our
upstair saloons, just before him was
hammer another man was flying into
the street. The hammer missed. the
man and struck a boy, who gave a yell
and darted against a dutch. woman who
was carrying a basket Of eggs in one
hand and a jug Of molasses' in the
other, Knocked her down and landed
her upon the eggs, while the jug flew
from her hand and striking the pave.
nent spread it's contents over the walk.
A man, running along with his hands
in his. pockets, stepped into the mo-
lasses and his feet flying from under,
him he fell on the woman, who gave a
yell which frightened a team of1hors--
es that were standing near, and they.
broke'loose and ran up street, ,demolish-
ing the wagon and scattering it's con-
tents to the pavement. The question
is, who threw the hammer, and is he
responsible for the subsequent chapter

The ChiId's Etiquette.

The following hints on education,
etiquette and morals, from the pen OF
George Francis Train, are worth pub
fishing: 7~r4..a atf u. ..~sf.-e... r,.
Always say yes sir, no sir; yes, pa
pa; no, papa; thank you; no, thank
you; good night; good morning. -
Never say how, or which or what. Use
no slang terms. Remember good
spelling, reading, writing and granlner
are the base of all true educations.
Clean faces, clean clothes, clean shoes,
and clean finger nails indicate good
breeding. Never leave your clothes
lie about the room. Have place for
everything, and everything in its place.
Rap before entering a room, and
never leave it with your back to the
company. Never enter private room
or public place with your cap on.
Always offer your seat to lady or
old gentleman. Let your companions
enter the carriage or room first.
Attable eat with your fork; sit up
straight; never use your toothpick
(afthou9h Europeans do and when
Itttt litS, ISh- W uG -CAciiSttl
Never put your feet on cushions,
chairs or tables fs. s-
Never overlook when res,ding on
writing, nor talk or read aloud while
others are reading. When conversine
listen attentWely, do not interrupt OF
reply till the other is finished.
| Never talk or whisper aloud at the
opera, theater, or public places, and es-
pecially in the private room where amy
one is singing or playing the piano
Loud coughing, hawking, yawning,
sneezing and blowing is ill-mannered
In every case cover your mouth with
the handkerchief (which never exam
ine-nothing more vulgar except spit
ting on the foor) a
| Treat all with respect, especially the
| poor. Be careful to injure no ones
/ feelings by unkind remarks. Never tel

The Tender Passion.

A satirical rogue insists that love is
as necessary to woman's heart as a
fashionable bonnet to her head In
deed, we think, rather more so; fo1
nothing less than large measure OF
love will content her, whereas. the
present fashion shows that she can be
satisfied with a very little bonnet. Il
is undoubtedly o scardalous observa-
ton, but a modern philosopher has re
malked-and we give the aphorism fol
what it is worth-that s'love is so es-
sential to the very life Of a woman
that in celibacy she is unhappy with
out lover, and after marriage, if she
is so unfortunate as not to love hel
husband, she is pretty certain to love
some one else ~ a es. d..

Concerning Doors.

When you go into neighbours prem
ises, be sure to leave the doors as YOU
find them. If you find door shut,
you may reasonably suppose that your
friend wanted it shut, and therefore you
have no right to leave it open; and if
you find it open, no matter how cold
the weather is, do you leave it open,
for tits reasonable to suppose that it
was left open for some good purpose.
And the same is good for all places,
whether they be houses, stores, facto-
ries, offices, Or whatever they may be.
Remember the rule-it has no excep-
ton; leave the doors as you find them.
If the owner of aEdoor does not know
how he wants it, how do you know how
he wants it ~.

ng=The coolest thing we have seer

AgThe coolest thing we have seen
for a long while, is the following pas
sage from the Mobile Daily News :: 81.
''The immense moral superiority of
the South over the North, has been
noted by all travellers. Their truly
pious and sincere love of man, their
tender care of orphans, contrast most
happily with the inhuman and heart
less treatment of the Northern nabobs
toward the laboring classes"
If impudence. and unblushing auda-
city can exceed that, we have vet to
see it done. The pious1 love of man
that breeds human beings like dogs and
buys and sells them like cattle-that
lives off the unpaid and forced labor
of the poor-that sells its own children
does indeed present a contrast to the
treatment of the laboring man at the
North. In Southern society, it has
been common thing for ladies of the
highest circles to own their half-sisters
as slaves, and to marry men they knew
to have sold their own children on the
auction block. This is not half.

Horrible Stories Of Southern
... Crime.

a letter just received by Senator
Wilson, from Texas, says murders are
Of daily occurrence in the country,
though they seldom appear in news,
papers. A very intelligent negro by
the name Of Avery, who had written
about the true state Of things from
Middle Georgia, was found dead in q
well, with a bag Of stones tied to hiS
meek. A few weeks since, two negroes
were arrested for some trining offense,
and tied together. Two white men
rodeup; one fired and Killed one ofthe
negroes, and then ripped open his alb
domen, and his bowels protruding,
hitched them to the ramrod of his gun,
and pulled them out from the body of
the dying negro. We talk Of savage
barbarity, but where will anything be
found to sufpass this? A late officer
in the Union army writes from Austin,
Texas, under date of the 18th inst, to
a friend here, that two men were taken
from their houses in Bell county, few
days ago, and brutally murdered. They
had formerly Belonged to Maj Speed s
command, 2d Texas (Union) Cavalry,
This has caused considerable excite
ment among the Union men who left
the State and entered the United States
army, lest others living in the border
counties may share the same fate. An
other Union man was found hung near
Waco few days ago. The Union men
appointed to office by Governor Ham
iltOn find themselves unable to dis
charge their duties. The rebels are
I,still as hostile toward the Union men
as they were during the war, and claim
that they are sustained by the President

TiItinS HQODS.

The minds of the people are now ex-
ercised over a new style of hoops,
which are SO constructed as to tilt up
wards, before and behind at every mo-
ton Of the wearer, and at every breath
Of wind
A New York paper, in speaking of
the new style, indignantly exclaims:-
s'Out on this indecency that would dis
grace honest pagans!1 Let every hon
est woman who has been tricked into
getting these traps of the harlot as, the
.'latest fashion, y pull them off and burn
them Let, every parent see to it that
his guileless daughter is not disgraced
by following this fashion. Let Mas
ters of households do the charity of a
servant Maid that has kept up with the
fashion, to play the wanton." E
All such talk is nonsensical in the ex-
treme. The writer may consume
reams of paper and oceans Of ink, but
he will never prevail on a 'tguileless
daughter to cease wearing the s'tilter,' .
| if fashion endorses it. --s -a .s
It might have been expected. OF
what avail are s'false calves if the skirts
are kept down, SO that the symmetrical
limb cannot be seen of men? What
woman would invest in proportion if
it was certain that none but woman,
who, of course, know a false from a
genuine calf as surely as they know a
simulated complexion from the natural,
were, eyer to see them? Not one. /
The calves were intended for the
masculine eye. and the tilting-hoop is
an invention to make it available
Therefore, without fail, follow suit with
the tilting hoops, and the millennium of
street corner loafers will have arrived.
Whether the eyes Of the masculine
portion of humanity will SO eagerly de-
your the symmetrical shapes Of fair
pedestrians, knowing them to be artifi-
cial and exposed purposely, is a ques-
ton. We think not. When the loaf
er, whose chief enjoyment has been in
observing the developments Of a brisk
breeze, is offered the exhibition graf
uitously ,and knows that it has been got
up expressly for him at a sacrifice OF
money and time. it viii lose its chief
attraction.
