HOME MANNERS.
Young folks should be mannerly. How
to be SO is the question. Many good bows
and girls feel that they cannot behave To
to suit themselves in the presence of com.
pany. There is but one way to get over
this feeling, and acquire graceful and easy
manners that is, to do the best thew can
all the time, at home as we'll as abroad.
Good manners are not learned from arbi
trary teaching so much as acquired from
habit. They grow upon US by use. We
must be courteous, agreeable, civil, kind.
gentlemanly and womanly at home, and
then it will soon=become a kind of second
nature to be SO everywhere. A coarse.
rough manner at home begets habit of
which we cannot lay off if we
try, when We go among strangers. The
most agreeable people we have ever known
in company are those who are perfectly
agreeable at home. Home is the school for
all the best things, especially for good man

BOnncF's Horses

Joe Elliott, it appears, proved
himself on the 29th day of June to
be the fastest trotter in the world.
Many noted horsemen were present
at the time of the trial, and the slow
est time made by either gentleman
was 2:154, and in order to prevent
quibbling it was decided to accept
the 2;154 as the correct time. The
first quarter was trotted in 341 Sec
onds, the half mile in 1:074, and the
three-quarters in 1:414. 1t is be-
lieved that Joe will yet be able to
make a mile in 2:15. He is by
Edward Everett, who is son OF
Hambletonian. Mr.. Bonner is
owner of both Edward Everett and
Joe Elliott.
Last season Mr.. Bonner paid the
owner of Lizzie Walker five thous-
and dollars for an unborn foal OF
that mare, wishing brother or
sister to his wonderful colt "Startle.' p
Mr.. Bonner gave the above men,
toned sum for the colt dead or alive;
and now the sad intelligence comes
that both mare and foal are dead
Lizzie Walker, if we recollect rightly
was some eighteen years old. Hei
labor was severe; but with the aid
of veterinary surgeons she delivered
the colt alive; but the effort was toe
great for dam and foal, and bott

latter.

Too Early Rising.

The late Judge Story always en-
joyed a good joke, even at the ex-
Ipense of his best friend. He was
fond of carrying his studies late in
to the night, while his friends John
Quincy Adams and Josiah Quincy,
We're famous for early rising.
One hot summers day, the latter
two gentlemen made call upon
the Judge, as he was engaged in de-
livering lecture to the law students
of Harvard University. He gave
them cordial welcome, introduced
them to his class, gave them a seat
on either side of him, and proceed
ed with his lecture, slightly elated
at having two such distinguished
auditors.
After a little time he noticed a
smile on the faces of some of his
students. The whole class soon
shared in it, and it grew almost to
an audible laugh. Very much dis
turbed, he turned to his visitors to
see if they noticed it, when he found
that, overcome by the ride and the
he at, they were fast asleep and nod>
ding.
The temptation was too great to be
resisted. "Young gentlemen" said
the Judge, in his blandest tones,
"you see before you the sad result of
too early rising" The hearty laugh
that followed awoke the sleepers.

Cost of Retailing.

Between the original producer
and the consumer there is a great
gulf fixed, which, while neither of
them can possibly pass it, swallows
up vast amount of the substance
of each of them. Thus we find the
cost of producing the refined pro-
ducts of petroleum, together with
freights and all other expenses,
amounts to forty millions, and the
cost to consumers is seventy mill
ions; the vast difference of thirty
millions being swallowed up in this
gulf, occupied by those who go or
come between the "parties Of the

Not long age gentleman of three

succeeded famously, and boasted to
bis friends that he had got rid of
ten pounds in a week. A little
later he was attacked with a pain

and safest way to get rid of fat is to

aids to reducing weight. But, after
all, the great reliance should be on
exercise and work in the open air.

The HO0sac Tunnel.

The Hoosac Tunnel was begun
some eighteen years since. Some
times its progress has been so slow
that it has been almost completely
lost to the public notice, and re-
peatedly its prospects have lived a
precariOus life in the halls of legis-
lation' Especially in 1862, a strong
combined effort was made to defeat
the project, though, after long and
animated discussion, it was finally
decided by considerable majority
in both Houses to pledge the credit
of Massachusetts for the sum then
needed-a pledge it has been fire.

that the excavation will be com

Whole No. 1887.

Only few day ago the New York
Tribune said of General Grant and
his friends: "There is not one par
ncular IN which they can point to

nately the country knows that rec
ord, and the blessings which it has
brought are upon every homo and
every person in this broad land.
fortunately, too, when the sun
shines upon them, men know it.
The Tribune hopes in this way to
advance Mr.. Greeley's aspirations
for the Presidency. But its readers
remember when, not long ago, it
said, and truthfully said:
"Upon General Grants accession

1t is quite refreshing and edifying
about this time to hear such strong
desire expressed for a "higher tone"
in the character of our public officials
by men who were perfectly satisfied
with the "tone" of our officials in
the days of Pierce, Buchanan, Floyd,
Toucey and Cobb. 1t may not be
superfuous to suggest that men who
could be satisfied with the "tone" of
the men who plotted for slavery
extension, participated in Indian
frauds, who secretly removed the
public arms into the hands of rebels,
and who plundered the national
treasury in the interest of treason,
are scarcely the men to raise fine

look back a brief space of twelve
years to know the "tone' most

Select Miscellany.
[From the Gaiena Gazette.
A DANGEROUS MAN.

Mr. Sumner says that Grant is bold, bad, dar
gerous man.-IExchange.
"a bold bad man il General Grant,
Said Floyd, one gloomy night,
AZ out from Donelson he crept,
And took basty fight.
From Pillows trembling lips there came
An echo sounding much the same,
And Buckner thought his chief was right,
Nor longer burst maintain the fight;
And then down came the rebel ''bars,"
And from the fort hung stripes and stars.
THAT CRAFTS a dangerous man," said they;
And doubtless think the same to-day.
"a bold, bad man is General Grant,
Said Beauregsrd, one morn,
As from the naughty traitors brow
The victor's wreath was torn;
And from the field his legions went,
By orders General Grant had sent.
Then Shiloh's field was again,
Despite the host Of rebel men,
Who came an army boasting loud,
And went panic stricken crowdi
For Besuregsrd and all his men
Perhaps tho't Grant was dangerous then.
"a bold, bad man is General Grant,"
Said PembsrtOn, one day;
"Entreatiss are of ne avail,
He will not 20 away.
stubborn, mulish, dangerous mani
He wants our rebel hides to tan
And still Grants cannon raked the town
Until the rebel flags came down;
And then our banners, rent and torn,
We're through the streets of Vicksburg borne.
The "bold, bad man" that glorious Fourth,
Sent gladsome tidings to the North.
"a bold, bad man is General GraBtl"
And poor Brsgg's eyes were dim
With tears, said he, "I know
Ills useless fighting him."
And soon the cheers from Grants brave men
On Looknut's crest told where and when
Ths rebel General had to run,
And what that "bold, bad man" had done.
'That Grants a dangerous man. he said,
As from the field his army fed.
"a bold, bad man is General Grant,"
Said Lee, "that's plain to see;
He must be very bold indeed,
To think of whipping me-"
Then Petersburg and Richmond fell,
Then AppomattOX-may be-well,
At last our hero's work done;
The final victory was won.
Perhaps the people may forget
These things, but then they haven't yet.
They needed then such dangerous" men,
And think perhaps, they may again.
"a bold, bad, dangerous man is Grant,"
Joff. Davis thought the same,
When running of in crinoline,
He to the "lsst ditch" came.
Ku-KluX gentle voice was heard,
And-"Grant is dangerous averred.
II needs must be that this is so,
For all these rebels ought to know.
Then Hall and Tweed-good, honest men =
Say "Grsnt is bold and bad" and when
Such men declare it, then, forsooth,
Folks know that Sumner tells the truth.

Physiological Action of Qui-
nine.

The physiological action of qui-
nine has lately been the subject of
detailed experiment by Binz, who
found it to have extraordinary pow
er in arresting the process of fer
mentation and putrefaction, and to
be powerful poison for low organ
isms, or, in other words, for all
moving bodies consisting of proto-
plasms. 1t appears to kill fungi
and bacteria, which accompany fer
mentation and putrefaction, and
puts a stop to these processes. 1t
arrests the motion of the white
blood corpuscles, and thus prevents
them from making their exit from
the blood-vessels. It therefore d.
minishes or arrests the formation Of
pus in Inflammation, pus consisting
in great measure of an accumula-
tion of white corpuscles which have
issued from the vessels. 1t also de-
stroys the power of certain sub
stances to produce ozone. The red
blood corpuscles have this power,
and, by depriving them of it, qui-
nine, when present in the blood,
must diminish the change of tissue
in the body, and thereby lessen the
production of heat.
1t is also found that quinine
lessons oxidation in the blood ; other
substances, such as snake poison,
increasing it. When putrid fluids
are injected into the Giro tulation of
an animal, its temperature rises ;
but if these are previously mixed
with quinine, this rise is arrested,
or very much diminished. Accord
ing to Zuntz, the use of quinine has
a marked influence upon the exere-
tion of urea, the amount diminish

Letters from the Old World.

BY MISS JENNIE A. NELSON.
NO. XIV.
DEHRA Doom, NORTHERN INDIA,
May ., 1872.
The weather here is now almost
as hot as our July, but at night we
have such a delightful breeze from
the mountains that we can sleep
very well. Since the hot days have
come, we get up at Al o'clock, COM
mence School at 6, and get through
at II A. M. when we have our
breakfast, and then make the
children go to bed and sleep two
hours. 1 forgot to say that at 81
we have recess, and our "ChotG-
Hagri," or little breakfast.
l have the charge of the whole
School now, and it requires much
firmness to hold 81 of these indians,
but get on very well. To-day had
to show them off little to some
officers of the Government, who are
visiting the Schools. One of the
gentlemen was a nephew of Lord
Lawrence, so l was told. One was
Colonel Off Native Regiment who
are the guardians of the Doom.
They are a noble set of men, who
were true and loyal during the
Mutiny. In my next 1 will give
you an account of a Reception
which was given them here. They
have fine band, which plays on
the parade grounds every Monday
evening, when all the English peo-
pie appear in full dress in their car
riages. The young gentlemen and
ladies are generally on horseback
1t is very gay scene.
The heat is becoming very op-
pres5ive. All the old Indians COM
plain greatly, but [ do not feel it.
They all say have brought Amer
can ice with me. Every one says
that the first season we are in India
we Go not feel the heat as greatly as
we do afterwards. This is the ex-
perience of all who have been here,
and seems very strange. The Hin
doc word for "Fan" means an "Air
Maker"
l have for my company and as
Sistance now in the household affairs,
(the Woodsides having gone up the
mountain a very kind English la
dy, whose husband was an officer in
the army. She came here on a
visit, and when it was found necess-
ary for the family to leave, she
kindly offered to remain with me.
She is an intelligent, humble, de-
voted Christian, and we are becom-
ing very fond of each other.
To-day is a day of fasting and
prayer for all the American Stations
and [ have no School. We had
Hindustani service at Z this morn
ing, and will have prayer meeting
this evening.
In a former letter l spoke Of Ruth
Robbins, the little child your Sun
day School are supporting, and that
she would get one of the older girls
to write a letter for her to the Sum-
day School. 1 send you this just as
ii was written by one of the older
girls for Ruth. She seems to feel
she has a peculiar claim upon me
now. Her eyes look very large and
bright whenever she sees me, and
she and her sister run to take each
of my hands whenever 1 go into
their part of the building. They
are very good children; give us no
trouble. They almost always have
a smile on their faces. l always
have to ask them which is which.
This is
