ARE We Bound BY IT MIR Seward
and Andy johnson took it into their
heads some months ago to make a
bargain with the Danish Government to
to transfer to the United States the
ownership and sovereignty of the Island
of st. Thomas. for some millions of
dollars. The two gentlemen to be
sure didn't themselves propose to pay
the money out of their own pockets,
but they agreed that the people of this
country should pay it oat of the nation
81 treasury. lii order to make the
transaction complete, however, the
consent OF the e. S. Senate is requisite,
and some people claim that also Of the
House OF Representatives In one
sense and that most important one
the consent of the House is necessary,
siuce no money can be paid to Denmark,
unless the House shall appropriate it,
the Senate never having any voice III
the appropriation of public monies.
The questionnow arises in Congress, are
the people of this country bound to
ratify the bargain made by Mr.. Seward
and Mr.. Johnson ? We say, no, most
decidedly, no. What business has any
Secretary of State OF President or any
executive officer to buy or sell real
estate on eccount OF the United States
Government ? Clearly, none at all
and the presumption of Mr.. Seward III
this instance ought to be rebnked by
the prompt rejection of the St. Thomas
treaty by the Senate, on the refusal Of
the House to pay the little bill This
ought to be done irrespective of any
advantages or disadvantages involved
in the treaty or trade, as warning to
future Secretaries to keep within the
proper limits Of Their off .ial duties aud
powers. Unless this case is thus dealt
with, who can tell in what folly or ex-
travagnnce some official may not here
after involve the cou ntrJ and appeal to
the Alaska purchase and the St
Thomas earthquake speculation as a
precedent in Justification ?

A TRUE 'IINcoLN STORY. Perhaps
the opinion of President on General
Thomas's great victory before Nash
Vile may be of interest.
''Mr. Lincoln, said friend TO him,
there isn't much left of Hoods army
is there @
"Well, no, Medill I think Hoods
army is about in the fix OF Bill Sikes's
dog, down in Sangamon county. Did
you ever hear it %
OF course, the answer: was "Neyer. "
"Well, Bill Skies had a long, yaller
dog, that was forever getting into the
neighbors' meat-honses and chicken
coops They had tried to kill it a
hundred times, bat the dog was always
too smart for them. Finally, one of
them got bladder of a coon and filed
it with powder, lying the neck around
"a piece of punk. When he saw the
dog coming, he fired this punk, split
open hot biscuit and put the bladder
in, then buttered all nicely, and threw
it ont. The dog swallowed it Mt a gnlp.
Pretty soon there was an explosion.
The head of the dog lit on the porch,
the fore-legs caught astride the fence,
the hind-legs fell in the ditch, and the
rest of the dog lay around loose. Pret
ty soon Bill Skies came along, and The
neighbor said
bill, guess there amt much of
that dog of your'n left"
well no, said Bill; 81 see plenty
of pieces. but guess that dog, as Il
dog. amt of much more account.
Gust so, Medill, there MAY be frag
ments of Hoods army around but ]
guess that dog, as dog, amt of much
more account.

Just at the break of day ON Tuesday
morning man was discovered lying
on the track of the Morris & Essex
Railroad, at Hudson City. with his
skull fractured his face covered with
blood, one arm lacerated and his
clothes torn. He was lying near one
of the workshops on the Hoboken side
of the tunnel. As he was found to be
still living he was n,eyed to the
Hudson City police station, where
medical aid was rendered. Though he
fingered during the afternoon he can
not survive many hours. He spoke a
few words with great difficulty and
said his name was johnson but he is
a stranger to all who called at the sta
ton. Whether he was run over while
walking ON the track or fell from the
platform of one of the cars has not
been ascertained

COMPANY MANNERS. There

COMPANY MANNERS There is no
greater education into vulgarity than
home carelessness. A man or woman.
brought up under such a system, is
ruined for all the reality OF refinement
in after years. The sulliness is too Of
ten allowed at home, where children
are permitted to be snappish to each
other, disobliging and disconrteous,
ruins the manners as much as it hurts
the mind. Hence we cone to company
manners, to sickly sweetness put on
simply for the occasion, to a formality
of speech and an oppressiveness of at
tentions, to an exaggerated politeness
that is so terribly transgressing into
liberties as to be absolute bondage and
to all the little Alterations belonging
to the condition.
We never know any one whom we
have not lived with. and even then not
always To be admitted in the Ten
pie, does include entrance iuto tn

in house where master, and mistress
and maids are all reticent alike, and
may know nothing of the reality an
DERIVING the lace. People of whom
| once knew something, and who wert
notorously Unmatched, but marvel
ously polite, could keep their hous
full of company, and yet allow none OF
their guests to find ont that the hns
band and wife were were not on speak
ing terms. All the communication be
tween them that was absolutely neces-
sary was carried on by writing. Per
sonally, these two, dispensing smiles
and civilities to all around. held no di-
rect intercourse. Yet they managed ST.
well that no one saw through the screen
With company manners and company
dress, there is also company voice. -
Who does not know that false voice of
society ? Mincing or thrown bodily
forward, flung into the chester pitched
up into the head, it is all the same
the company voice, accent, choice OF
words and register-all artificial alike
And there are company gestures. Peo-
pie sit and stand and walk, and use
their hands according t, the different
degrees of familiarity in which they
stand toward the society. There is q
vast deal of company make believing
among us and if we would only give
half the time we now bestow on ''look
ing pretty" and "behaving pretty" in
society, to being sweet tempered, and
amiable, and careful of pleasing, al
home, it would be all the better fol
ourselves and our families, and gain
in the way of true civilization. Al
