MARK OF ILL-BREEDING.-There is
no better test of ill-breeding than the
practice of interrupting another in con-
versation, by speaking or commencing a
remark before another has fully closed;
no well-bred person ever does it, nor
continues conversation long with one
who does. The latter finds an interest
ing conversation abruptly waived, closed
or declined by the former, without sus-
pecting the cause. A we'll bred person
will not even interrupt one who is in
respects greatly inferior. 1t is amusing
to see persons priding themselves on the
gentility of their manners, and putting
forth all their efforts to appear to advan-
tage in many other respects, so readily
betray all in this respect.

HUNGRY INDIANS.-Red Cloud crowd
of Red rascals got as far as New York
the other day, on their comfortable jaunt
all over the land at government expense,
and stopped at the Grand Central Ho-
tel. They made a sensation at supper:
Big Foot made terrible onslaught
on the cold chicken, and ate nearly three
pounds of that dainty foul. High Bear
demolished two jars of chow-chow, and
made himself so sick that the other
braves grunted at him in high savage
glee. Red Fox, who seemed to be the
wit of the party, filled his coffee with
half a cruet full of cayenne pepper, and
imagined Immediately afterwards that
he had swallowed the Evil Spirit. The
squaw of Lone Wolf, Mrs. Ear-of-C Corn,
took quite fancy to the cold boiled
ham, and punished two pounds of that
solid commodity. Stabber, who justifes
his very sanguinary name by his fero-
cious looks, manifested ravishing de-
light at the sight of huge dish of
strawberries and cream, and appropri-
ated the entire contents without saving
grace. During the meal Red Cloud, as
became his dignity, maintained the great
est decorum. Red Dog ate in dismal
silence. Blue Horse left the table first
in order, and was followed by his chum
Fed Leaf. Daylight carried away four
bananas to regale himself in corner,
and the remaining braves, accompanied
by the two ladies, retired in body to
their rooms, which are somewhat more
palatial in aspect than the wigwams from
whence they came, on the Fork of the
North Platte.
Red Dog, the second chief of the par
ty in Importance, is the savage who, il
command of party of Sioux years ago
lay in wait in the underbrush some dis
tance from Fort Fetterman for a company
of Col. Carrington's regiment, ninety
six in number, who went out to gathe
wood. Not one of these good men anc
true, ever returned to tell the tale o
that dreadful slaughter. They met Rec
Dogs war party and were massacred t,
man. And there sat this savage, will
his cunning eye and evil face glooming
and perhaps thinking of the number o
scalps hanging in his wigwam in far Of
Wyoming.

FISHING IN VIRGINIA.
NORFOLK, Va, June II. 1879

NORFOLK, Va, June II, 1872.
DEAR SPIRIT: Having occasion to
visit this vicinity for week, 1 have in
the meantime picked up a few points
which / think will interest some of your
readers.
This section is already extensively
known as greatly attractive in the gun
ming season. If wild geese and ducks
can be shot here by the boat load, fish
can be caught by the ship load. Hav-
ing a passion for the latter sport Gas my
shoulder never did fit gun or musket,)
and seeing such quantities of fish brought
to this market, said to be caught with
the hook, | Immediately set to work to
ascertain whence they came, and from
friend Dodson, the proprietor of the At
lantic Hotel, learned that large num-
Der of the poorer class actually support
their families from the sale of fish sup
piled to the hotels and steamers. Half
an hours run by the little steamer Mys-
tic will bring you to Vue de L'eau, a
charming seaside resort recently estab-
lished by a stock company of the wealth.
lest men of the city. From this point
the guests have only to go few hun.
dred yards out in the bay to catch any
number of sheepshead and weakfsh.
To my surprise, not to use strong
er term, not a rod was to be found, but
simply sitting on the edge of the boat,
with line held in the hand, and as
soon as fish is fastened he is roughly
and instantly snatched up with line
resembling railroad train bell-rope.
[ forthwith telegraphed to New York
for my ''Conroy," and am now having
fine sport. The following will illustrate
how little is known of the use of the
rod in these waters: Upon first uncase-
ing my tackle, my boat being anchored
near two others occupied by negroes,
who evidently had never dreamed Of
such device for fishing, seemed abso-
lutely lost in wonder at my preparation.
I could not hear their first remarks, but
the oldest man of the lot thus addressed
me: Say, Ross, what is dat thing you
got in your hand? Do you spec to shoot
desc ere fish, or is dat gun % [ could
scarcely adjust my reel for laughing

THE NATION ON GREELEY.-The New
York Nation, one of the earliest and al
together the ablest of the anti-Grant
Journals in the country, in its issue of
last week makes an elaborate analysis
of the comparative claims of Grant,
Greeley and Adams, which closes as fol-
lows: "What are the honest men to
do now ? Well, if there is nothing
else offered, if the Democratic Conven-
tion commits the absurdity of raising
the old white hat as its standard at
Baltimore, the only thing for Republi-
cans of our way of thinking to do is to
choose the less of two evils, and vote
for Gen. Grant. We expect no improve
ment in the Administration from him:
we do not look at his hands for the re-
moval of any of the existing abuses; we
know of no answer to any of the weighty
and reasonable objections made to his
Administration but we do know. as
near as may be, what he will do we
know, at least, the worst he will do
The probabilities are that, the tempta-
tions connected with the denomination
over, he will on many points change for
the better. Moreover-and this is the
most important part of all-if he is re-
elected, there will be no general redis-
tribution Of officers and no financial
disturbance. What Greeley will do,
and what the motley crew whom he
would lead to Washington would do,
nobody knows"

Too MUCH pREAcH1NG-The Standard, in

Too MUCH PREAcHING.-The Standard, in
philosophical article on Sunday sermons and
the way they are overdone, says:
We think there is too much preaching, and
that the church which sins most in this regard
is neither the Roman Catholic nor the Episco-
palian. In the majority of Protestant church.
es, not Episcopal, two sermons are preached
every Sunday-one morning and afternoon, or
one morning and evening, as the case may be.
These sermons vary in length from three-quar-
tiers of an hour to one hour, and in some excep-
tional and rare cases extend even beyond that
period. But fixing the average at three-quar-
ters of an hour, we thus have two discourses,
on two different topics, regularly delivered once
q week, and hebdomadally occupying not less
than one and half hours. Under such cir
cumstances one is not surprised at the reply of
the parishioner, who, or being asked by di-
vine, notorious for the length and abstruseness
of his discourses, what he thought of the ser
mon, replied, that like the ways of the Al
mighty, it was past finding out, and like His
mercy, he thought it would have endured for
ever. Two long sermons per week are too
much to expect the clergy to write or the laity
to desire. They clog the spiritual digestion
and overload the spiritual stomach. One good.
sermon per week is quite as much as man of
even more than the average intelligence of ha-
bitual church-goers can take in.

CHARLES LEvER.-The Charleston Courier
records the death of the celebrated Irish novel
ist in the following. words:
The telegraph has just announced to host
of sympathizing readers, the death of a we'll
known and we'll loved novelist. 1t is hardly
one brief month since, in a pathetic preface to
his latest story, Charles Lever told the public,
who had welcomed him so often to their homes
and hearths, that this book, begun in happi-
ness, and ended "in breaking health and broken
spirits" would be his last. Seldom has sad
prophecy found sadder, speedier fulfllmenE.-
The ink was scarcely dry in which were written
down the adventures and misadventures, the
loves and hirtations and follies and failures of
Walpole and Atlee, and Nina Kostalergi, be-
fore death took the pen from the nerveless hand
and wrote his inexorable Fsnis at the foot of
the we'll filled page.
What literary record the great Irish raeon-
te,r has left to his generation 1t is forty years
since the rollicking humors of "Harry Lore
oucr" and "Charles O'Malley" delighted the
world of readers, and in "Lord Kilgobbin, +"
despite all its faults of artistic construction,
there is the same irresistible geniality, the same
nerve and vigor and vitality which we had come
instinctvely to associate with Charles Levers
name. He will be missed by thousands who
had learned to look to him for that healthful
and innocent amusement which is the true salt
of existence. We knew that he was not a great
novelist; but we felt that he was the very
prince of storytellers. 1t never occurred to us
to name him with those who had exalted their
art into kinship, with the great moral and
intellectual forces that mould their age, but we
were not the less sure that in his brilliant pages
We would find not only the sprightliness and
humor which charm and entertain, but also
the manly vigor and simple enthusiasm which
brace the heart and lift up the spirit of human
ity. And it is surely no mean epitaph, for one
who has written so much, that throughout the
long list of his various productions, the finger
of cnvious criticism can point to
"Not one immoral, one corrupted thought,
One line, which dying, he would wish to blot. y
