TRUE CoURrEsY.-Real courtesy is
widely different from the courtesy
which blooms only in the sunshine
of love and the smile OF beauty, and
withers and cools down in the at
mosphere of poverty, age and toll.
Show mo the man who can quit bril-
liant society of the young and listen
to the kindly voice Of age, and hold
cheerful converse with one whom
years have deprived Of charms.
Show the man of generous impulse,
who is always ready to help the poor
and needy; show me the man who
treats unprotected maidenhood as he
would the heiress, surrounded by the
protection of rank, never forgets for
an instant the respect that is due to
woman as woman, in any condition
or class; show me this man andyou
show gentleman-nay you show mo
better, you show me true Christian.

EsD- At Acapulco (Mcxico) the
pretty peasant girls have an ingcni-
Gus device for selling necklaces made
of shells, principally on the days
when steamers arrive. Handing you
a necklace, they say:
"Me give you present, senor,"
and then they retire with low court
sey. Returning, however, in a few
seconds. they say, sweetly:
"You give me present, senor, of
quarter dollar ?"
And they always get the money.

the color; if it is white, with yellowish, OF
straw-colored tint, buy it. If it is very
white with blush cast, or with white specks

siveness; wet and knead little of it be-
tween your fingers; if it works soft and
sticky, itispoor. Third, throw a little lump
OF dry flour against a dry, smooth, perpen-
bad Fourth, squeese some of the flour in
your hand; if it retains the shape given by
the pressure, that, too is good sign Flour

learn from the News, that the publisher alone was
arrested, and that the editor voluntarily appeared
before the authorities to answer whatever charges
might be preferred. Neither of the parties is
held in custody, and the whole matter has been
referred to the Commandant of NOrth-Carolina
for his decision. The difficulty seems to have
originated in some remarks in the Ne,os relative
to the social position of Northern females coming
South in the capacity of negro teachers.
