4 NON-PLUssED CoNDUCToR.-As sto-
ry is told OF the cnluctor of New
York railroad, that will do to repeat.
One day he had quite heavy load COM
ing into Utica. All handed over their
tickets promptly, except one fat old Ia
DIV, who sat near the door, and wtc
seemed to be reaching down as if to
get something she had dropped on ths
floor. When her time came to pay, she
raised her head and addressed the blus-
tering conductor:
II alters, when I travels, carry my
money in my stockin'; for you see,
nothin' can get at it there, and I'd thank
you, young man, jest to reach it for me,
as Tn so iammed in can't get to it. I
forgot to get ticket at the depot"
The conductor glanced at the other
passengers. some of whom were laugh
ing at his plight /; one or two young la
dies among them bushed scarlet, and he
beat q hasty retreat, muttering some
thing about not charging old ladies, etc.
His cash was short that trip the fare OF
one passenger.

"Honcst" John Covode loved to tell
the following story Of himself He was
at JOhnstowh at one time, and desired
TO go to a point some thirty miles distant
on the Penn. railroad, and as no train
would leave for hours, aud hand car
was placed at his dis 0 al. Just as he
was about to start two Irishmen came
along who desired to 60 to the same
point, ard n bargain was made that they
should 20 with him, and propell the car
half the distance. Covode had been
conductor on the road, and knew all the
grades on the route, and easily managed
to have them at the crank where the
grade was upward, while he took the
crank at that poIut where the grade was
the other way. When the journey was
nearly completed, the Irishmen wanted
TO know how he turned the crank along
so easily, while both Of them could not
make so good time with all their sweat
ing and putting. "Qh,' said "honest
John, 'it's done by a turn of the wrist;

cared for nobody-no not he, because
nobody eere& ior him. Aud the whole
world would serve you so, if you gave
them the cause. Let every one see that
you do care for them by showing them
what Sterne so happily called the small
courtesies, in which there is no parade,
whose voice is too still to tease, and
which manifest themselves by tender
and affectionate looks, and little acts OF
attention, giving Others the preference

Turning Over a New Leaf.
A SENSIBLE STORY.

It's shame, said Mrs. Fogg, as she
hurried away after the funeral of Mrs.

room where two children, almost uabes,
were sleeping, unconscious that they
were motherless. "lt's p shame, that

Dor, who was ALSO getting off as
fast as she could, 50 as to SHIFT the req
possibility upon some other shoulders.
"There.s Mrs. Grove, she might take
them as We'll as not. But they'll go to
the poor-house, for all she cares"
"Well, somebody'll have to answer for
it. As for me, rve got young ones
enough of my own" said Mrs. F9gg.
eve left Mrs. Cole in the room. She
has only one child, and her husband is
well-to1do can't belieye she'll have
the heart to turn away from them" "
Mrs. Cole did tprn away from the
sleeping babes, sighing aloud with a
forged sigh that others might hear, and
give her credit for sympathy aud con-
Germ she did not feel.
AT last AL were gone--all but man
named Wheaton, and poor woman, not
able to take care of herself
"What's to become Of these children %

At this the little one began crying

man, speaking in tlind of desperate

the two children in his arms, hushing

words.

exclaimed Mis-. Wheaton, as her hus

she sat ,meuding one OF her well-worr

The New Haven correspondent of the

young mars surname is the same as that
of the colored student Bouchet, and the
two were consequently seated near each

early in the first term, wrote to one OF
the professors, desiring him, as personal
favor, to change lis boys seat, as 1t was
tor many reasons distastetrl to sit so
near negro. The professor wrote back
that at present the students were ar
ranged in alphabetical order, and it was
not in his power to grant the favor, but

HINTS 10 WRITERS. The rule regard
ing lalk-"When you have nothing to
say, say it," applies equally to writing.
When you really have something to
write about, do not peck and scratch
round the subject like hen; Pounce
upon it boldly like an eagle. Almost
every article presented by unpracticed
writers to magazines no matter how
admirable the subject, drifts to Ieeward
one or two pages before the writer gets
s.eeyage gHy un his thoughts, and the
reader finds out where be wants to sail
to. This fault could easily be avoided
by proper revision. Cut out all that
does not bear on the subject discussed; I;
every useless adjective; every effective
reritition Of the same idea. Then con
sid, i whether you have said what you
wanted to say in the best language at
your command. If not, wIte on till you
are satisfied Then condense and prune.
Do not seek for striking metaphor or up
rightly epigram to decorate your article.
If such occur naturally, that may he put
in, but with caution. Consider whether
yon really gain anything by them f;
whether they really add force TO your
writing, or merely tlattcl your vanity at
, the time. Afterward, when ali is done
in the way of argument, you may here
and there add an apt quotation or pun,
gent witticisln to attract attention, and
make some important senteuce snap, Ike
the cracker on a coach-wliQ. Remember,
too, all the TING, that faculty in compo-
sition as in all other accomplishments,
can OILY be obtained by practice and
perseverance.

In the United States Supreme Court, q
Washington last Monday, Attorney General
Akerman announced the death of Thomas
Ewing, and presented feeling speech and
resolutions to the memory of the deceased.
The resolutions were passed by the mem.
bers of the bar. The Chief Justice made
the following reply: -
"The court shares with the bar the senti-
ments expressed by their resolutions, which
will be entered upon the records in accord
ance with their request. We all feel that
whatever h0nOrs can be paid to the memory
of Ewing are properly paid. His is the
record of youth patient in toll, full Of as
spifatiOn, Of manhood w0rthily employed,
various and honorable public trusts and
forensic labOrs, which gave US frequent &C.
casion to note the remarkable grasp and
vigor Of his intellect, and the great variety
and extent Of his attainments; of pro-
tracted and serene old age; Of calm and
peaceful death, surrounded by children
worthy of their father. To family and
friends, the death Of relative and friend
90 honored and beloved, however long de-
ferred, comes always too soon. Counting
ourselves as not the least afEectionate among
the friends Of Mr.: Ewing, We yet found, l
doubt not, that all near to him in friend
ship or relationship will ever find consola-
ton in rejecting upon the greatness of the
example he has left for imitation by his
c0untrymen." rl.-

The Lafourche Republican, which is now
supposed to be defunct, has had in it's Office
for the past year supply Of school books
for the use Of the public schools of this parish.
Lately, since II. H. Reese went away, and
suffered Sternberg to assume control Of the
concern, the owners Of the building have
seized upon the books for rent, and offered
them for sale.
The question arises whether these books
are the property of Reese and Sternberg or
are really the property of parties in New
Orleans.
We believe that they have never been
paid for. and are now in their possession
simply on commission to sell. But if they
belong to Reese Or Sternberg did they ever
pay for them and should they be attached,

rotten'concern as the Lafourche Republican.

At Titusville, Pennsylvania. a new oil
well has been discovered A correspondent
from that vicinity says that for nine hours
it allowed a stream of beautiful amber and
rose tinted oil, of sixteen degrees gravity,
~ large Is stove pipe, at the rate Of AZ
barrels per hour. The oil is go heavy that
it formed perpendicular column Of six
inches in diameter that would push its way
up several hundred feet into the air, when
becoming partially melted by the suns
rays and overcome by its weight it would
break off near the ground and fall over
like an immense tallOw candle struck with
q club" This is an important and doubtless
profitable discovery.
