Courtesy.

Nowhere is well-bred courtesy, or the
lack Of it, more observable than in travel.
ling. On the steamboat and in the cars
the quiet observer easily detects those who
are educated under refined influences, or
those who, without special cultivation,
are possessed of native politeness. 1t is
not education alone, nor wealth, nor high
social position, nor costly trapping, that
makes one pleasant travelling compan-
ion. There must exist kindness of feel.
ing toward strangers, general recogni.
ton of equal rights in the comforts and
conveniences provided for the public, and
a quickened discernment for the needs Of
others. The gentleman who spreads out
his luggage on couple of seats in the
cars, and persistently reads his newspa-
per, determinately unconscious that 9TH
ers who have paid as much as he has are
looking in vain for seat, is as truly ILL
bred as the country girl who noiselessly
eats her pint of peanuts, scattering sh ellis
on seats and floor, utterly regardless Of
the annoyance she gives her lneighbors.
In this democratic country we travel in
public conveyances too much as if they
were our own private carriages. How of
ten the eleventh and twelfth passengers
in city omnibus, who know they havo
full claim to seat, are discomftted by
the outspread garments The immovable
attitudes, and the blank faces of those who
happen to have entered the stage before
them Common civility demands that q
movement be made to give room until the
complement is filled out; aftarward cour-
tesy and generosity will often prompt to
attentions which justice may not require.
1t is surprising how much the comfort
aud pleasure of any journey, whether long
or short, is enhanced by those little name
less courtesies which are offered instinct-
lively and unotiiciously to str ngers by
refined, well-bred travellers, IA. persons
in whom native tact and delicacy almo st
make up for the lack of the educating
and refining influences of good society,
Summer journeying in crowded boats and
cars is u test OF both patience and po-
likeness. Thrice happy they who pass
nobly through it, for their own sake, for
the comfort Of companions, aud for the
reputation of poor human natur o in gen
eral.

doing all the rest Of the year,. e., suf-

She was one of two children Of poor

This woman andher children had passed
Christmas eve huddled around scanty
fire in the stove Of II bar-room in the neigh
borhood, whose proprietor let her ''stay
round the fire because she had no where
to 90 till midnight. Then when the place
closed for the night, the woman and her
two children skunk away and tried TO keep
from freezing in the doorway of an old
house in the neighborhood, where they
were found about 3 o'clock on Chrisemas
morning, by policeman going his rounds,
the mother nearly frozen stiff, standing
upright, holding to her breast her two
children. Had the policeman been few

A correspondent of the Houston

AN ELEpuANr.--If anybody wants an
elephant let him by n dualne factory. A
man had one near Millwaukie. The thing
blew up, and the proprietor and foul assis-
tanis resolved into ininitesimal atoms,
and the fragments of the building were
scattered for half mile around. Dualine
as an explosive is said to be safer than
nitroglycerine. The peculiar feature Of
it is claimed to be TINT il can be handled
in solid state with safety. Twenty
pounds of il would knock any block of
building in the country to smithsreens.-
The slightest conclusion shoots it of. 1t is
a delicate matter to handle. A good joke
is told Of firm blasting rock lin the Mis-.
sissippi river that bought a very little it,.
They were afraid to bury, or explode, or
move it, for fear the rNsoally thing would
90 off and send them all to the regions Of
space. They finally lowered it into the
river, where as water does not hurt it,
it rests to explode at the touch Of some
passing vessel, or movement of an object
under the water, and scatter death and
destruction for mile or two around
That dualine will make sensation some
day.

A BANQUET WITHOUT WINE.-Recently
the Union Merchants Exchange, Of this
city, held their annual election for off.
GERS to serve during 1873. Upon the Of
ternoon of the election banquet was CIV

which oil of the ex-Presidents Of the insti-
tuition and other leading citizens were in
vited. The banquet was decided sue
cess, yet, will it be believed that not 0
drop of wine, beer or spirituous liquors Of
any kind was provided for the occasion :?
There were some sound speeches made by
several of our leading men. Many senti-
ments were pledged in hot coffee or cold
water, and so far as we could see all enjoy
ed themselves fully as we'll as if they had
filled themselves full of strong drinks. At
oil events, there was an dir of sober sense,
a decent command of self, and grave re-
spect for others that does not prevail at
public feasts VIII re spirituous liquors are
served. We trust that the commendable
example set by our merchants will be fol-
lowed by all other associations when pub.

Buried Alive-A Horrible Story From
Savannah.

The Savannah Advertiser relates tho
following:
On Tuesday Of last week clored man
died Tor was supposed to have died) and
great lamcntation was made over his body
by the relatives and friends. The corpse
was laid out, the limbs composed, the eyes
closed, and the features were exceedingly
natural. As is sometimes the custom, So
called mourners were provided with food
and intoxicating liquor, which they piled
themselves with until surfeit and drunk.
Noisy land indecorous demonstrations Of
grief were made until the third day (Sat-
urday), when the brother of the supposed
corpse became incensed o. the disgraceful
proceeding and determined to bury it at
once.
The other folks demonstrated and de-
clared that the body was yet warm and
perhaps not dead. But he Insisted as he
said, because he would prefer to bury it
than have a continuance of the shocking
demonstrations. Accordingly his remains
were deposited temporarily, in o receiving
vault.
Thursday the vault was opened, and the
coffin brought out for permanent burial
elsewhere, when it was noticed tina the
strong screws which had been tightly
driven in three days previously, were
strained and tho top Of the coffin pried
half open.
Tremblingly, and with the most DIRE ad-
full anticipations, the box was opened, and
horrible, most horrible to relate the body
was found to be turned and twisted over,
tho face downward, one hand olutohing
the hair of the head, the other reaching
out, with the nails driven into the; wood
the teeth clutched, the eyes glazed and
distended, and even the feet giving evil
dence Of having been used in the last
hopeless aud frightful effort to escape suf.
location.
These are the facts as narrated. The
name Of the victim was Andrew Dow.

1t is impossible to form alty correct idea
as to the number Of cattle that have died
west of the Colorado during the present
winter, but we have recently sonversed
with persons from the several surroun d.
ing counties who estimate tho loss at fully
one third Of the entire stock, possibly
more. If the thousands of hides already
taken from carcasses on the prairies--to
say nothing of many more thousands that
have escaped the notice of the "skinners,"
and which have been lost to the leather
trade--be any criterion, then the above
estimate may DC regarded as about correct.
The severe freeze Of last Tuesday will
without doubt increase the loss very con-
siderably.-Gon. Ing.

CORRUPTION IN EHE BODY P0LITIC.-
Corruption in the affairs of the Govern
ment seems to be spreading like the small
pox in some eastern cities. Besides the
Credit Mobilier abomination, the various
land grab jobs in Congress, the develop
ments in New York city, the election Of II
United States Senator from Kansas and
the five and ten thousand dollar checks in
connection Herewith, we have now calls
for investigation in the manner of the
election of United States Senator from
Missouri, and one from Nevada, each Of
whom, it is alleged, owes his success to the
distribution Of large sums of money among
members of the Legislature, the figure in
the case of the Nevada Senator elect
reaching, it is said, the snug amount of
three hundred thousand dollars. Verify
this is on era Of corruption, and the
searching brooms of investigating COM
mittees ought to make clean sweeps oil
round.
In the case of Senator Caldwell, of Ken
sas, the evidence that he purchased his
seat in the United States Senate by free
and INSCRIPTIONS use of money is conclu-
sive. There is something revolving in
coarseness with which the bribery and cor
ruption were conducted. The bargains
for votes and influence were made with as
little delicacy and as little attempt at con-
cealment as would be displayed by two
Texas drovers haggling over so many head
of cattle. Yet the radical papers can dis
cover no oifensiveness in the transact ton,
and are only calculating upon the political
effect that would follow the expulsion Of
Caldwell from body two-thirds Of whose
members owe their positions to the same
influences that were used TO secure the
success of this Kansas Senator.-Shreue-
port Times.
