The japanese Girls.

The little girls are still kept quietly in
Georgetown, and the reason given therefor
shows the wisdom of Mr.. Mort, who has
the direction of all matters concerning
them. If they were allowed to go to re
ceptions, etc. they would only be made a
spectacle, for as they speak no English
they could not join in the general amusc-
ments. Mr.. Mori does not consider it
proper that they should be subjected to
the stares of vulgar curiosity, or made the
subject of general comment. They are
very pleasantly situated, and a few young
girls of Mrs. Lanman's acquaintance make
them frequent visits These are rapidly in
structing the foreign maidens in the mystic
res of tie feminine toilet as by themselves
understood. They are teaching the young
foreigners how to ''do their hair rough

Intoxicating drinks, and when under the

papers were served on the old man he re-
marked: "You have taken my property
from me, have you, and are obliged to sup
port and take care of me! Well, then.
take care Of me-" He Immediately took to
MS bed and continued to remain there, day
and night, for twenty years. For the first

wears of his life be was waited upon as an
infant, notwithstanding he enjoyed good
health and was in the possession OF all his
faculties, mental and physical.

Manners.

Young folks should be mannerly How
to be so is the question. Many a good
boy and girl feel that they cannot behave
to suit themselves IN the presence of COM
pany. They feel timid, bashful and self
distrustful, the moment they are address
ed by a stranger, or appear in company.
There is but one way to get over this feel
ing and acquire easy and graceful man
ners: that is to do the best they can all
the time, at home as well as abroad.
Good manners are not learned from
arbitrary teaching, SO much as acquired
from habit. They grow upon us by use.
We must be courteous and agreeable,
civil, kind, gentlemanly and womanly, at
home, and then twill soon become kind
of second nature to be SO everywhere.
A coarse rough manner at home begets
habit of roughness which we cannot lay
off, if we try, when among strangers.
The most agreeable people we have ever
known in company are those that were
perfectly agreeable at home. Home is
the school for all the best things, especi-
ally good manners.

How One Law Case Was Settled.

A CASE recently tried before the Clon-
mel Qreland) Assizes was brought to
singular and novel termination by the
presiding Judge. The parties in the case
were young man and Il young woman,
both of whom claimed possession to
rural property, one by virtue of an an
cient lease and the other under n will
They were in court for the purpose of
giving their testimony, when a bright
idea occurred to the magistrate, a Mr.
Clarke, who interrupted the case to say :
at just strikes me that there Is 81 pleas
ant and easy way to terminate this law
suit. The plaintiff appears to be a re-
spectacle young man, and this is very
nice young woman. Laughter. They
can both get married and live happy on
this farm. If they go on with law pro
ceedings it will be frittered away between
the lawyers, who / am sure, are not I'M
gallant enough to wish the marriage not
to come off"
The young lady, on being Intercepted,
blushed, and said she was quite willing
to marry the plaintiff The latter, on be-
woman, calamity responded, "Most un-
doubtedly." Mr.. Clark remarked that
the suggestion occurred to him by in
stinct on seeing the young couple. A
verdict was subsequently, entered for
plaintiff on condition of his promise to
marry defendant within two months, n
stay of execution being put on the YER
dict till the marriage ceremony is com
pleted. The counsel gave the young lady
such an unmerciful Chatting on her
consent, which many in court thought
should have been first obtained from
plaintiff, ,hat she left the court in tears,

A Picture and Picture-Sealer Sold.

THE Paris correspondent of the Boston
Globe tells this story:
"Speaking of pictures, one of the neat
est tricks 1 ever heard of was played off
the other day on dealer in objects of
art. A gentleman examined his cOlleC-
ton, bought a little ivory statuette and
paid for it.
Then he said:
"'Please put it aside, and I will call
for it; also be kind enough to take charge
of this picture, handing him canvas.
''Some time after he left a second
gentleman made his appearance, examined
a variety of articles, and at last uttered
an exclamation of delight as his eye fell
on the picture left in the dealers charge
by his customer.
'"tAnd how much for that?' he asked.
"The dealer informed him that it was
not for sale, and did not belong. to him.
"What pity said the gentleman,
I've fallen in love with it, and would
give 5000 francs for it, and 500 to you If
you could procure it for me- At the
same time he slipped 500 francs into the
dealers hand and took his departure.
"The owner of the picture came back
an hour aferward, and was asked if he
would sell it.
"'I have no thought of doing so, he
replied. And then, you would not pay
its value. If did sell it I should ask
4 900 francs for it; it's perfect gen.
"After little debating, however, he
did sell it, and departed, carrying off
900 francs in his pocket and the little
he had paid for.
at is useless to add that the amateur
never called for the picture, that it is still
hanging in the dealers shop, and that that
gentleman is out $500
francs"
