Travelling Manner..

If | were q young man and wished to test
the virtues Of my ideal-the maiden upon
whom NV rendered emotions were lavished,
/ would seek to make one of the party with
fVhich she might take a journey-not a mere
Measure trip, but a downright, old fashioned,
wearisome journey, with the accessories of
heat and crowded cars, early starting hours,
and all the inevitable additions of hurry and
fatigue. II, from the beginning TO the end
! thereof, she was cheerful, even il hungry ;
4 considerate, though crowded kind. even to
kthe least attractive travelling companions,
Z superbly unconscious of the Disagreement of
dusl and glare, all other things agreeing. l
should consider myself fortunate in being
able to secure her for the journey of life.
1t, on the contrary, she was seeking her
own satisfaction selnshly 20 the disregard Of
the comfort of others if she was fussy-a
failing SO pre-eminently feminine that its abs
sence is remarkable-if she looked ont for
Nc. l in the usual Young America style,
talked loud or sneered at others, why, 10
spite Of al her charms when viewed by par>
lor light, | would not covet her companion
ship on the matrimonial train which only
halts at the grave.
Many q lady who passes the inspection of
society scatheless, has her weak point shown
boldly forth when the travelling test is applied
TO her character and temper This is not
applicable generally to men their charac-
tiers are naturally placed in constant juxtapo-
sitiou with all sorts and conditions of men,
and their manners are something for general
use and not for particular occasions.
Travelling Is q gift to ENJOY it fully q per-
son must possess a certain elasticity OF mind
that will enable him 10 meet the inevitable
trials of life with a cheerful courage. But
every lo1y, in dress, in manner and in tone,
b.va vn Ia4tar EalA Cor tha dtsrtay pf
gentle breeding than amid the whirl and the
unguarded scenes of travelling. A whole
character may be searched in the events Of
three days ride. In these days OF frequent
railroad flirting and steamboat sailing, let all
beware lest. being weighed in this balance,
they shall be found wanting in the essential
attRbutes of the perfect lady.

Iowa OF Age.

An exchange from across the Mississippi
says that Iowa, reached, on the 18th of De
cember, its twenty-frst birth day, and adds:
tsIts infancy was very credible. In its
youth it has won great rsnown for its valor in
arms, and its fidelity to the cause Of free
dom. In its manhood, while it retains these
good qualities, it win doubtless become noted
also for its immense agricultural products,
and its devotion to the cause of education,
and all that can elevate humanity"
This is not ~fiattery but simple Justice. The
meaning of the Indian word Iowa as given
by Lanman, Is ''.Sleepy ones, but the popular
name 'Hawkeye state is far more sppro-
PIRATE. There is in fact no State in the
Union whose people are more thoroughly
wide awake. and which gives promise OF
reaching nobler results. Already far ad-
vanced in all that constitutes national pros
perity, Iowa has fairly commenced realizing
the promise ot its youth Illinois, having
been admitted into the Union on the I'd of
December, 1918, lacks only one day Of being
forty eight years and one month old, and is
therefore a comparatively old State, bat when
il became of age, which was in 1889, its pop
ulation and wealth were far behind those OF
Iowa at the present time, so that we cannot
.'put on airs.
The areas of the two States are very near
ly the same, tnat OF iIltDois DelHR oD,fV,
square miles, and that of Iowa being 55,045'
The two States are much alike in the value
too, Of their natural resources. There IL
more waste land in this State than in that;
and we are not quite SO r.ch IN area OF lead
mines. but our coal is more extensive, anc
our advantage in being nearer to the seaboarc
is considerable; but, on the whole, it woulc
be difficult TO choose between the natura
vaalth Of the two States.
Perhaps the most noticeable present snt
irrespective contrast between the Two is j
the;rcaes Wlrile illinois has d metropelii

LIFE.
Ny youthful. tears have all been shed,
Those April drops which now
Like springlets frem the mountains head,
And in the sunshine glow.
The tears of youth have ceased to gush,
Like nectar from mine eyes,
And bitter ones instead l brush
Away with sad surprise.
The currents Of my life grow deep,
As down the stream l float,
And all its torrents wildly sweep
Around my fragile boat.
Like some fair bird which wings it's fight
Far up the azure sky,
Ny spirit scars with fond delight,
More glowing lights to try.
Then round NV seul are quickly thrown
Clouds black with sorrows gloom,
And suddenly the winds do moan
Around some loved ones tomb.
Ny heart is dTapedi an darkest night,
Ny little bark is tossed,
'Tillin my faithlessness and fright

NEW YORK, Feb. I0.-Fenians in this
city are still sanguine of the success of
the movement in Ireland. The dis
couraging news of yesterday gave but
a slight shock to their ardent expecta-
tions. During the day business was
lively at the Stephens headquarters,
enrolling volunteers and receiving do
nations. a few speeches were delivered
in the evening in front of the head
quarters.
The Supreme Court has decided that
it has no power to interfere in discharg-
ing enlisted men from the army on

The Herald says: The secret mission
of the steamer Gettysburg, with Fred
erick Seward and Admiral Porter on
board, has been unearthed- The
intention was to purchase the
Island of st. Domingo for a coaling
station. President Cabral thought the
plan a good one, but demanded cash
down and plenty of it. a large amount
of specie had been brought aboard at
Annapolis, but at Port Royal, Jamaica,
the sailors broke into the ward-room,
where it was stored, distracted three
bags of 1t and deserted ship with their
booty, but reward of 500 being offered
for the recovery of the money, the
search was very brisk, and one of them
was caught with a fortune on his per-
son. He was turned over to the First
Lieutenant, who, it is said, compass
sionately returned the money to him
and sent him ashore. Thus the mis-
sionRries had not money enough to
purchase st. Domingo, and, after recu-
perating their health at Nassau, re-
turned to Annapolis.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1e.-The Ways

a great extent the original House tariff
bill rates. The duty on salt is reduced
from 24c'to PC bushel. Many articles

drawback on ship building, agricultu-
raj and other implements. The clause
with regard to damaged goods and un-
der valuation is also stricken ont. The
9th section adding freight and commits
sIons to invoice values is removed.
The duty is advanced on sal soda,
caustic, and carbonate OF soda, while
those on spelter and silk goods are
greatly beyond the Senate rates. The
rates OF duties are mainly retained on
iron, but are increased on some articles
and reduced on others. The Senate
proposition TO levy a duty of II to II
cents on scrap iron, the committee re-
commend and 10 cents. Cotton rates
are somewhat advanced over those of
the Senate. Ivory is stricken out of
the free list, and the privilege that the
Pacific Railroad Company may use
foreign iron instead of American as
now provided by law, is denied

Mr. GREELEY's SENATORIAL, Ham
KARL.-The New York EUenino Post
having accused Mr.. Greeley of cow
ardice in his proposition for universal
amnesty and universal suffrage, Mr..
Greeley replies by telling how he threw
away his chances for the United States
SenatorshiP by it, thus:
when our last State election had re-
suited in a complete republican tri-
umph, number of influential friends
united IN proposing me as a candidate
for the United States Senate. Thew did
not ask me to do anything to favor such
election; they urged only that should
stand by the constitutional amend
ment and say nothing about universal
amnesty. II would, they felt assured
that would be surely, Overwhelmingly
chosen. could not stand on the con-
stitutional amendment, SO long as there
should be hope of doing better, main
Iy because it afforded no adequate
guarantees for the protection and en-
REIMBURSEMENT of the cIacks, felt
that far broader basis was neceasarv
to true beneficent construction
basis which should incite the great body
OF the Southern people, both white and
Dlacki 70 go to work, in the full assu-
rance that their rights of person and
property would be fully protected
And, while would gladly have de-
ferred to my friends-who, very proba-
Oily, overratsd my strength with the
people OF our State, but who surely
meant to serve mel felt constrained
TO put forth the article OF November
9th. L presume no one will assert that
l supposed il would improve INV
chances for the Senatorship. I knew
quite well thai it would probably be so
used as to render my election impossi-
ble.n
