How to be Polite.

Do not try too hard to be polite.
Never Overwhelm your friends by beg
ging them to make themselves at home,
or they will soon wish they were there.
Show by your actions rather than your
words that you are glad to see them.
Have enough regard for yourself to
treat your greatest enemy with quiet
politeness. All petty Sights are merely
meanless, and hurt yourself more than
any one else.
Do not talk about yourself or your
family to the exclusion of other topics.
What if you are clever, and little more
so than other people, it may not be that
other folks will think so, whatever they
ought to do.
1t may be interesting to you to talk
over your ailments, but very tiresome
for others to listen to.
Make people think you consider them
clever and agreeable, and they will be
pretty apt to have pleasant impression
of yourself.
Treat people just as you would like to
have them treat you.
1t is much easier to lose the good
opinion of people than to regain it; and
when any one does not care for the
good opinion Of others, he or she is not
worthy of respect.
Do not excuse your house, furniture,
or the table you set before your guests.
1t is fair to suppose their visits are to
you, not to your surroundings.
The whole machinery Of social inter
course is very delicate and intricate, and
it is our business to keep all places of
possible friction we'll supplied with the
oil of politeness.- Germdnto,on Telegraph.

GLovEs.-Although some authors as
sert that gloves were used by the Chal
deans of old, yet the first distinct and
reliable mention of them is made by
Xenophon. He tells us that the Per-
slams, not content with protecting their
head and feet from the cold, also COW
cred their hands with thick gloves.
When speaking of Laertes, Homer says
che wore gloves on his hands to secure
them from ,horns." Varro, in his De
rerustica," remarks that "olives, when
gathered by the naked hand, are better
than those gathered with gloves" The
learned grammarian, Athen@us, writing
in the the third century, speaks of
celebrated bon Savant who made point
of coming to table in gloves, so as to
handle and eat the meat when quite
hot, thereby gaining the advantage of
devouring more than the rest of the
company.

THE LATEST FROM UTAH.-A despatch from
Salt Lake which we print this morning has it
that number Of well known polygamists are
making arrangements to send away their
plural wives should the decision in the forth
coming trials go against the defendants. If IL
should come to this we shall despise the Nor
mons even more than we have yet done. II
they believe polygamy to be Divine institu.
ton, let them stick to it and firht the fiobt
IKE honorable men. If they are willing to
abandon the Divine idea and 20 in for expe.
diency, let them still be men. They cannot
and they dare not dispose of .heir plural
wives and their children 10 this easv wav
The plural wives and their families are the
Inheritance, and therefore in a sense be
property, Of the nation, and the nation must
and will see to it that they are cared for.
Many OF the Mormon leaders are now rich
and in the downfall and abandonment Of M.
lygamy Congress must see to it that tho w;ves
and children Of the polygamous marriages
have fair share Of the properly of the bus-
bands and fathers. In the settlement of tb;s
question care must be taken that the nation be
not unnecessarily burdened and that fair plav
is made the rule.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY. The matter OF Gen.
eral Grants denomination being settled to the
satisfaction Of the leading republican papers.
the Providence Journal-which must speak
by the card, inasmuch as it is the organ of one
Of the United States Senators-takes ND the
subject of the Vice Presidency, and after
administering severe rebuke to Vice Pres-
dent Colfax for presuming to decline a renomi-
nation Ia advance, proposes to punish him by
nominating him again by acclamation. Thus
is 1t foreshadowed that the republican war cry
IN 1872 will be but the echo of that of 1863
Grant and Colfax.

A Continental Cyclone.

The weather reports of the Signal Office, a.
given to the press on Tuesday, reveal me-
teorological wonder. The whole country east
of the Mississippi was then under cyclone,
from Lake Superior to Galveston and from
Savannah tn Montreal.
cyclonical storm of such dimensions was i'm
possible; but it is easy to see, by entering tbe
weather reports for Tuesday at thirty y-five
minutes past seven A. NJ. on map of the
United States, that we then had q rotatory
storm, the centre of which was in Ohio, and
the winds blowing in an almost perfect circle
around the centre in direction against the
bands Of a watch-the invariable direction in
which the West Indian and all other tropical
cyclones gyrate.
We take great account of the discovery Of
remote asteroid; but the discovery and accu-
rate charting of this immense meteor is far
more important than the discovery Of fifty
asteroids.
So vast and far-reaching was this cyclone
that at one aud the same hour it was neces-
sary for the Chief Signal Officer to display his
storm warnings-the red flag with black
square-in every port Of the country along
the lakes, the Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean.
except at Duluth and Galveston, both of which
points had already felt the weight and power
of the same tempest.
1t was truly continental cyclone, and its
existence may well set at rest the minds of
many old fogies Of science, who still have
their doubts of the law of storms and question
the possibility Of foreannouncing them. This
tremendous revolving gale was predicted and
described in all it's quadrants fully twenty-four
hours before it reached the lower lakes and
thirty-six hours before it fell upon New Eng
land It is grand stroke Of science to be
'ble thus to signal the path and gyration of
'uch an immense gale, whose winds, espe-
tally on our lakes and lee shores, are so de-
tructive to the unsuspecting mariner.

The FETE DAY OF TIE EMPRESS EUGRN1E.-
On the fete day Of the ex-Empress Eugcnie
large deputation from Paris arrived in London
and proceeded to Chiselhurst where they Of
fered their congratulations to Her Majesty.
The officers of the late Imperial Guard sent
bouquets to be presented on the occasion.
We regard this as most significant sign. 1t
proves that the imperialsts are as yet full of
hope, and that they are not ashamed to avow
it. The republic and President Theirs are
doing well; but the republicans must look
sharp, if they would not some fine morning be

Ton THE BEAoH AT LONG BRANoH. IL
will be seen BY our reports of the effects
of the storm on Tuesday night that the beach
at Long Branch has suffered considerably, the
bluff being washed away to the main drive at
the intersection of Chelsea avenue. and some
of the hotels badly damaged This disaster
might have been foressen, and if proper pre-
cautions had been taken to avert it Long
Branch property owners would have acted the
part OF wisdom. What is wanted is a break
water of stone along the beach, so as to pro-
tect the bluff from the fury of the breakers
during storm like that of the night before
last. The owners of hotels, as we'll as the
owners Of cottages and other private property.
should take immediate steps to construct this
breakwster; otheryiss they may wake up
some boisterous wintry morning and learn
that all their beautiful villas and gardens and
fashionable drives are among the things that
were.

crash-a general collapse; and the darkness
of financial chaos settled upon the land.
Meantime public defaulters had multiplied
and corruption in high places ruled the dismal
hour. Then came the great election Of 1910,
in which Van Buren and the democratic party
werc swept out OF power as by q roar
ing whirlwind, and The wings came 10 with
General Harrison. But Harrison, after a
month of tortures in the White House, died,
and Vice President Tyler, in undertaking as
President to build up Tyler party on the
spoils, 80 crippled the wings that the demo-
Gratis, in 1874, by very tight 6t, got into
power again on the Texas annexation cry.
Then we had the Mexican war and its de-
moralizing consequences and then the great
the beginning of another set Of corrupting
combinations; and so on, from bad to worse,
the country was carried by corrupt politicians
down to Pierce's Kansas border war, which
was the overture to our great rebellion.
And here, in the war against this great re-
bellion, was opened fountain of corruptions,
compared with which even those of Van Bu-
ren's administration appear as trifes. The
shoddy milionnaires cropping out under Lin
coins administration, and the whiskey rings
and whiskey kings blooming with the deadly
nightshade under the astonishing fantasies of
Andy johnson, had by the year 1868 so de-
bauched the country that honest poverty had
become byword and thing to laugh at, and
successful knavery thing to be worshipped
and eulogized, even by Puritan parsons.
Tweed, inspired by these examples and les
sons and by the general corruption Of the pub
lie mind, undertook, through his Tammany
ssRing," the reduction of frauds, embezzle-
ments and robberies of the public treasury in
every form to governmental system, rest
ing upon an oligarchy, with Tweed at the
head of it as first consul. What for? His
objects were, 6rst, to be rich as Crnsus, and,
next, to buy his way to the United States
Treasury, through Tom, Dick or Harry, for
the Presidency. Where is he now? We have
had eroundswell and tidal wave, and he
is wrecked. Under General Grants admins
tration, in spite of the plundering Southern
carpet-baggers, we have had wholesome

honesty his golden rule General Grant has
made it respectable again. He revives the

honest, modest man. His title is clear for
another term. On the test question between
his administration and that Of Tweed New
York has spoken for Grant, and Mr.. Greeley

RA1LRoAD BRIDGES AND HIGH WArER.-It
is reported that serious accident came near
occurring to q railroad train on the draw
bridge over Spuyten Duyvil Greek on Monday
last. 1t appears that two of the cars, loaded
with passengers, were thrown from the track
we're vaeag RRllaynygglag Rlyygg into the water, but
of the accident is attributed to the disar-
rangement of the rails on the draw, occasioned
by the unusually high stage Of water in the
creek. It seems to us that railroad compa-
MES should be compelled to 80 construct their
bridges as to prevent the possibility of acci-
dents occurring from this cause. Of course
there are occasionally accidents which no
human foresight could guard against; yet
this spuyten Duyvil drawbrid,e has been q
man trap for so long time that the next
Legislature should adopt measures to have its
condition and the manner of its managem ent
investigated.
