MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE.

Proper refinement and culture show
themselves in manners and behavior.
There is a standard of etiquette which in
dicates good breeding. An awkward man
ner, clownish or coarse habits indicate the
reverse. Those who are brought up or
move in good society learn what constitutes
good manners from observation, and soon
become easy and graceful in their style and
movements. 1t often happens that per-
sons bred in the country, on the farm or
in the village store, find themselves thrown
into more polished society, where they
feel very i'll at ease from an ignorance of
the established rules of etiquette. They
fear to act lest they should commit some
glaring act of improperly, They have
good sense enough to do very well, ifthey
only knew what they ought to do. Eve
ry one who aspires to move in refined So
ciety occasionally or constantly ought not
only to read but carefully to study some
approved book on etiquette. Many de-
sire to read such a book, but do not know
what it is or where it may be found.
American standards on this subject are
somewhat different from those in Europe
an countries. We have no established
aristocracy in this country to make rules
and fix standards for Young America.
The people here make laws for themselves.
Lord Chesterfeld's letters to his Son"
have many good things in them. but they
are English, not American. They should
be read but cannot be followed in every
particular. Besides the world, society
even, is advancing. What was exactly
fitted for the eighteenth century does not
precisely suit the nineteenth. Hence VT
want something not only American but
modern, a work which presents the most
approved rules of to-day.
This want has been recently supplied,
and the best book we have seen on .Thc
Care Of the Person, Manners, Etiquette,
and CercmOnials," is entitled the "Ba-
Ear Book of Decorum," recently publish
ed by Harper and Brothers. 1t is a small,
neat, beautiful book, and contains all that
one needs to know in order to act proper
ly and feel at ease in any refined society,
1t is called the Bazaar Book of Decorum,"
because several chapters of the work, orig
inally appeared in "Harper's Bazar.' and
were very favorably received by the pub
lie. Young ladies and gentlemen espe-
cially should carefully read and study it,
if they want 20 know what is characteris-
tic of good breeding and what is not.
The boorish or low bred person reveals
himself in a variety of ways, in the man
ner he speaks, stands, walks, sits, disposes
of his hands or feet, holds or uses his knife
fork or spoon, sips his tea or coffee, or
takes his soup. Refinement and good
manners are a source of happiness and a
power for good.

Buffalo Institute.

This institution is situated on Buffalo
Creek in Carter county. We had the
pleasure of visiting this school a few
weeks ago. We found it in a Furnishing
condition with about one hundred pupils
in attendance. Mr.. Ben. Akard, the
Principal, is a live teacher, fully awake
on the subject of education, and a young
man of great promise. Miss Anna B.
Bohannan is a young lady of experience,
and rare literary attainments. We listen
ed to the weekly exercises and found them
exceedingly interesting. The discus
sion between the young ladies and the
young men, on the subject, "Should the
sexes be educated together !? '.made quite
an impression on our mind. 1t was con-
Quoted in writing and rather ably too,
for school girls and boys. The young la
dies argued that the sexes should be edu-
Gated together, the young men that they
should not. In our opinion the afirma-
tive gained the question.
The school building is an elegant struc-
ture of brick, two stories high, stand
ing on an eminence which Commands
an extensive view of the country around.
The grounds are enclosed with neat fence.
Every thing looks cheerful and pleasant.
The teachers have large and airy rooms
and the pupils ample play grounds for
out door exercises.
We found Rev. Mr.. Barker looking af-
ter the interest of the school with unceas-
ing diligence. He is a great worker and
to him chiefly belongs the honor of estab-
fishing the institution in the pleasant
neighborhood in which it is located. This
school draws three hundred dollars from
the Peabody fund. 1t is a public free
school and doing a good work.

KANSAS LETTER.

We have Teen permitted to make an
extract from a letter written to II of the
pupils attending the Female School ofthis
place, by Mr.. j.. X. Shiplcy, who is favora-
bly, known as a successful teacher b ymany
of our citizens. He left East Tennessee a
short time since for reasons which are
stated at the close of the letter. He
writes from B%urlingame. Usage county,
Kan. We copy only that part of his
letter which pertains to schools:
You perhaps think that Kansas is not
a civilized country, and that we have no
good society, but such is not the case. In
this little town there is more business
done than in Jonesboro. There are five
fine churches and as fine a school as can be
found in any country. 1t is kept up all
the year as Il free school. The Principal
gets one hundred dollars per month, and
each of the assistants fifty dollars per
month. The school house is a magnificent
brick building which cost Twenty Thou
sand Dollars II y X X
am made to blush for shame when I
tell the people here that the citizens of
my native county in East Tennessee voted
against free schools! Usage county, Kan
sas pays not less than Sixty Thousand Dol
lars tax annually for school purposes, be-
sides two hundred thousand dollars tax to
build railroads and State tax. This lit
tie tow ~(Burlingame,) not larger than
Jonesboro, voted twenty-five thousand
dollars tax to build a WOODEN factory. But
Washington county Tennessee. will not vote
ten thousand dollars for school purposes.
Kansas is only ton years old but she is
fifty years ahead of Tennessee in educa-
ton. Every boy and girl here can go to
school till they are t~wenty-one without
paying any tuition, and in most of the
schools, books, states, paper, pens, ink and
pencils are furnished free. The result is,
every child is educated and dissipation
and crime get no victims. No man is al
lowed to sell a drop of liquor in the eoun-
ty, nor have we any Jail.
Ia our Sabbath school (Methodist.)
there are about $50 pupils every Sabbath,
and the Schools in all tie other church.
es are we'll attended. Thus you see that
we are in a good country. But l should
not have come to Kansas if the Tennes-
see Legislature had not repealed the COM
mon school law. J. KS.

HODGES SCHOOL HOUSE

Now called CEDAR HILL, is in Civil
district No. IL. The house is used for the
double purpose of Church and school, and
is furnished in the usual style of most of
u school houses.
We visited the school some time ago
and found a large number of pupils pres
ent. The teachers. two excellent young
men, were earnestly engaged in their ar
duous work of bringing order out of con
fusion. The principal, Mr.. Cartright, re-
late to us some of the difficulties with
which he had to contend. The want of
books for proper classification of the pupils
was. perhaps, n of the greatest.
The school numbers about one hundred
pupils. The good people of the neighbor-
hood are very anxious for its success. The
children eagerly crowd to the school house
in which we found eighty-seven pupils in
one room of medium size. The citizens
have enlarged the room, we understand,
and otherwise added to its convenience We
~ much. The school will draw $500

For the Herald and Tribune,
E. H. w. UniVerSity-Concert

Thursday at q o'clock the quiet vii
lage Of Athens was summoned by the ring
ing of the College bell to the Chapel to
witness the promised exercises. The ever
ing was damp and the streets very muddy,
but IN a few minutes quite a large and re-
spectacle audience was assembled in the
Literary Hall of the Institution. The
house was called to order, and
emusic arose with its vo%luptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake
again
And all went merry as a marriage bell"
The music with its silvery notes seemed
to touch the soul, and wake all it's Holian
strings to breathing symphonies within.
1t captivated and held the minds of the
audience two and a half hours with tremb-
ling delight. Every piece was we'll per-
formed and gave evidence of both talent
and preparation.
But unlike other performances, some
we're excellent, others were more and
some most excellent. The following were
regarded by the writer as among the most
deserving. "DOn't let the Roses LiSten,"
by Miss Gussie Kilgore, was very beauti-
full. Its excellence was tested only by
the charm it wrought on the audience.
"Listen; IT'S tie Wood-tirds-SOng," by
by Misses NJ. and S. Reeves, received great
APPLAUSE and was worthy of all IN
dation. '.SparhIing Cdscades," by Miss
Helen Ellsworth, awakened thrilling emo
tions in the soul. "1AdUicc to Persons
About to llurry," by Mr.. j.. r. Shultx
was quite entertaining, created great laugh
ter, and received the greatest applause.
'Supfooccr Schotischc," by Athens String
Band was really delightful. "A'iRt /
Street." by Miss Ada Hockett, five years
OF age, was surely the most excellent.
While others pleased and delighted, she
enraptured. She awakened every emo
ton of the soul. She entranced and cap
tivated the entire audience by her dis
tinct articulation, meldodious voice and
graceful movements.
The Concert was a complete success.
Certainly every object was accomplished
the parties anticipated. Its object was to
raise money to ~liquidate a debt incurred
by the furnishing of the Literary Hall
of the Instisution. The amount of debt
remaining as announced from the stage was
thirty dollars. The proceeds of the con-
cert amounted to sixty six dollars. This
speaks well for the liberality of the noble
souled Athenians and students. The Lit
erarv Societies have, now, a neatly and
we'll furnished Hall, fitted up at a cost of
about six hundred dollars. LENS.

Male School.

We attended the Quarterly Exercises on
last Friday evening at the Baptist Church.
The speeches, rehearsals dialogues &c, pass
ed off very pleasantly. Some of the boys
acclaimed remarkably well.
The reading of the reports in the diff
ferent grades we failed to hear, but under
stand the pupils have made fine progress
during the last Quarter just past. Prof.
DUNCAN, the principal, is ii teacher of ability
and conducts an excellent school. He is
assisted by Mrs. DUNCAN who has had
much experience in teaching. Miss Minor,
az cstimable young lady and experienced
Teacher has charge of the Primary Depart
ment. The school numbers about one
hundred pupils and will compare favorably
with our best schools. 1t is doing a good
work for the town.
Our village can boast of as good schools
rs any one in East Tennessee. Over three
hundred pupils are attending them.
