FAUr" ladies and Gentlemen's ManuaD is the
title OF little book by Mons EUGENE CHAPUs,
published in Paris by LEVY FREREs. Its object is
| to show chat elegance and case in conversation,
and that amiability which only forgetfulness OF
self can give, arc the chief elements OF good breed
ide. Tho author takes superficial view OF life,
but writes pleasantly and with sense and good
taste and his anecdotes are amusing and well told.
His account of the origin of the moustache and
what is called the "goatee" We do not vouch for.
When the Moors, he says, invaded Spain, the
Christian population became so intimately blended
with them ttat it was difficult to distinguish be-
ween tho two. So tho Christians lot the hair
grow in horizontal line on the upper lip, and al
lowed that on the lowor one to grow downward,
thus producing appearance resembling GLOSS,
by which they might recognize and render each
other assistance. Speaking OF the universally OF
French fashions, the author tells the following
story: ''It has beon the custom to send doll
dressed in the extreme of the mode to st. Peters
burg once month"; and when the revolution broke
out the Russian nobility endeavored to have this
doll regarded as neutral, and 30 to be allowed
transit to the Neva. The republicans, however,
refused to entertain the proposition, and yet, in
spite of all obstacles, moro than one beau OF LOUIS
XvTs court devoted himself to the service OF con-
veyng the fashionable doll to its destination. Ger

On MONDAY afternoon last (says the Richmond
Dispatch Of Wednesday, about four o'clock, MATTE
a. LEE, sprightly and interesting little daughter
of Mr.. F. J. and Mrs. E. H. CONRAD, died at tho
residence of her parents, on Main near Fifteenth
street, from the effects of opium administered by
mistake for ipecac. The child was sick of Group,
and under the professional treatment OF DR..
WARINa. He prescribed six grains of ipecac and
twenty grains of calomel, to be made into six
powders. In preparing the prescription the clerk
at the stola of Mr.. R. W. Powers unfortunately
mistook ipecac for opium, and it cost the little
sufferer her life. 1t is said the prescription is
written indist inctly, and cannot be readily dec-
phered by any one unacquainted with DR.. WAR
Na's handwriting. The Doctor, however, says
the letters pe were distinctly written, and could
not be mistaken for OPT. We do not think too
much care can be observed in writing prescrip-
tions, and certainly druggists and their clerks
should be increasingly vigilant and ever cautious
in compounding them. Especially should this be
the case where any ingredient is used which may
endanger the life of patient. Little MATTE, the
victim in the present case, in the fourth year
of her age, and child Of much sprightlness and
