DIsCoURTEsY IN BUsINEss.-Some bust.
ness men in this as in other cities take
take the ground that the moment they
enter their offices, stores or warerooms
they must put on hard, cold look
assume harsh manner and address
everyone in curt, sharp tone and
style. The employees gradually take
unto themselves the fashion Of the heads
of the houses, and a person trained
upin all his ways, whether of social or
business intercourse, to practice towards
others those "still small courtesies"
which he looks for to be shown in re-
turn to himself and which, in the
ignorance OF his soul, he fancies to be
part and parcel Of gentleman, is
shocked on entering this business circle
we describe by what at first strikes him
as Intentional discourtesy, but which by
and BY he finds out to be mere bust.
ness conventionalism, the asperities OF
which those who practice them are, to
all intents and purposes, ignorant Of or
Indifferent to.
We consider this system not only
false manliness, but also false economy.
1t is false business, too; it does not in
the end, pay. The rudest, toughest man
is susceptible to the soltening influences
of true courtesy; and even where he
may see that the polite forms of man
ner and conversation that please him,
in intercourse with their possessor, are
nothing more than forms, he is apt to
remember that such one treated him
courteously and such one not; and if
he has aught to buy he will buy from
the former and avoid the latter. OF
the practical truth Of this we could
bring record, even in this city. We
shall no! mention names nor 60 into
further local details but content our
selves for the present with the following
little story, which many near this way
may profit by:
One dull, rainy day a man stepped
into Mr.. Stewards store, in New York,
and desired new clerk to show him
some muslins. He was hard to suit,
and at last the young man called out
as he was taking piece of goods to
the door to look at it: Hold on, old
man; none OF that. You can buy goods
here at the counter if you want them.
He did not like the trouble Of folding
and putting up so many pieces after
the customer.
II guess you had better step down to
the cashier desk and get what is owing
you," quietly remarked the supposed
buyer, who was no other than Mr.
Stewart himself. ."You are too careful
of yourself to do business for me"

RoBBlNG A Butchers WAGoN.-Three
boys, named Waterhouse, Kearns and
Devinny, of ages ranging from ten to
fifteen years, were arrested and taken
before Squire Forbes yesterday, charged
with stealing sausage from the end OF
a butchers wagon, Saturday evening.
The butcher was driving along Chap
line street, when the boys slipped up
behind, it is alleged, and stole the sau-
sage. They were held in the sum of
$50 each for their appearance at Court.

ored brother engaged in the pursuit Of
high art at the Top mill-he carries
bricks by the hodfull up long ladder
who feet arc so large that he willnot
find out that his toes are cold until
next summer. He is none OF your
lemon cslored citizens. Not he; he is
30 black that q keg Of printers ink
would grow pale in comparison. Heis
q married man and a father, votes the
Republican ticket and is in favor Of
woman's suffrage. Well call him Zeke
for short. Well, yesterday, Zeke. while
engaged in toting bricks to the brick
layers, kept continually complaining
that something hurt his feet. II de-
clare to goodness" he said, as he came
to the top OF the ladder, about 10 o'clock
use suah dar's a silver or sumthin'' in
dat foot. / never had dem boots hurt
me dat way afoe. Use gwine. to see
what dat is when we stops foe dinner"
and he looked down admiringly
at a foot that lay spread
out on the round of ladder
like a sloop's jib hung on pole to dry.
Notwithstanding his complaints, he
never stopped his work, but kept on
manfully until noon, when, after he
had emptied his dinner, bucket of its
contents, he raised up his foot and drew
off his boot. A search tailed to discover
any solver" in the foot, but shake or
two on the half acre OF leather he had
in his hand, and which he called boot,
brought from the interior a pair Of
shutters. When Zeke saw them a
broad grin spread itselfall over his face.
"Yah, yah, wah. zee" he laughed. II

In memory of Miss Johnnie Burk-

When sunshine and love robc the
field with happiness, how soon the
dark clouds oyershadow how soon
tbs chain may bc broken tho link
be severed aud the siEen web of
lie doomed to erumble beneath the
icy touch of death The mystic veil
be parted, aud ofo spirit, bright,
pure and holy takes its flight from
the ophomeral joys Of earth, mp the
shining heights Of glory--is intro
dueod into the pesrly gates Of the
great city to enjoy the glories IN the
paradise of God.
Now the angels have been called
upon to register another name in
Heaven. Young, beautiful and sur
rounded BY II host OF admiriug
friends, amiable and kind IN dispo-
sition, true and loving in friendship
aud with many winning virtues, she
won the hearts Of those around her.
But tho golden strings Of tho harp

Of life's little taper is forevermore
cStinguished. The light is quenched
from the dark lustrous eyes, but nor
torcvermore for commencing her
spirit to the "God who gave it,"

uniadIng splendors Of the Better
Land. The transient ilowery wreath
has been exchanged for coronct of
gold, and the immortal bloom 81 fra

She had even in life a glimpse of
the jcweled domcs and minarc..s of
that house which no "frail hands
have made," aud there her spirit has
fled from this vale Of tears, to bo
lulled to rest by the angelic lyros
above. The sad drspery of tho
tomb covers her body until tho res
urection morn, but her spirit has
entered the courts Of Heaven, where
glory shall never wane. Yes, ito

KISG COTTON.
synopsis Of the Official RopJris Of
the Condition Of the COllOn
Crcp In October.

WAsulSGroy, D, C., October iS.--
The following Is synopsis OF the
report of the statistieian Of the De.
partment OF Agriculture upon the
condition OF the cotton crop in 0c-
tober.
The cotton prospect has under
gone no serious changes since the
September report. The condition
is reduced from 81 per cent. in tho
frat week of September to 81 per
cent. in October. In October Of
last year the average was ~ per
cent, which was a material rcdue-
ton from that Of the previous
month. 1t will be seen that tho
condition il still placed higher than
IN last years report for October,
while the area, according to our
June returns, was l3 per cent,
greater.
Tho State averages are af follows;
Vagina 81 per cent; North Caro-.
liha 30; South Carolina Sc; Flori-
da rs; Georgia SO; Alabama 80
Mississippi rs; Louisiana ~; Tex,
S5; Arkansas IS; Tennessee 90
The local disparity existing in the
condition of cotton Ia, perhaps, more
marked than usual. OF the two
counties in Alabama producing most
largely, both together yielding one,
