WHO is A GENTLEMAN?

An exchange copies the following correct
and comprehensive answer to the above
question, and urges every Child as well as
grown person to commit it to memory, to
be recited as often as practicable:
q gentleman is not merely person &C
quainted with certain forms and etiquette
of life, easy and self-possessed in society,
able to speak and act and move in the
world without awkwardness, and flee from
habiss which are vulgar and in bad taste.
A gentleman is something beyond this; that
which lies at the root Of all his pleasing is
the same spirit which lies at the root of ev-
cry Christian virtue. 1t is the thoughtful
desire of doing in every instance to others
as he would that others should do unto
him. Heis constantly thinking, not indeed
how he may give pleasure to others for the
mere sense of pleasing, but how he can
show respect to others-hoW he may avoid
hurting heir feelings. When he is in soci-
ETY., he scrupulously asCertains the position
and relations of every one with whom he
comes in contact, that he may give to each
his due honor, bis proper position. He
studies how he may avoid touching in con-
versation upon any subject which may
needlessly hurt their feelings-hOw he may
abstain from any illusions which may call
up disagreesble or offensive association.
A gentleman never allUdes to, never even
appears conscious of any persons defect,
bodily deformity, inferiority of talent, of
reputation in the person in whose society
he is placed. He never assumes any SUI
periority to himself-neVer ridicules, never
sneers, never boasts, never makes display
of his own power, or rank, or advantages
such as is implied in ridicule, or sarcasm,
Or abuse-as be never INDUCES in habits,
or tricks, or inclnations which may be of
fensive TO others.

A VERITABLE VAMPIRE.
Capture of q Strange Beast in the
Middle of the Pacific.

San FRANCISCO Alta CALIFORNIA
While the steamship Nevada was about
eighty miles off one of the minor isles of
Micronesia, on its way up from Australia
to this port, at about six O'Clock in the
morning strange animal of dark figure
was deserved to light on the highest peak
ofthe forward mast. Attracted by its Pc
culiar appearance, the officer of the deck,
Mr.. Burns, the second mate, offered one of
the sailors a small bonus to capture it.
The man clambered up the mast vita a
heavy cloth in his hand, and after slight
struggle, in which he was severely bitten
on the haDd,it was secured. Bringing it
to the deck, on examination the beast
proved to be fine specimen of aspecies of
the vampire tribe. This auimal closely re-
sembles the terrodactyl of the anted iuyian
ages. Inappearance it appears like huge
bat, on has,y examination. 1t is in the
head of. the animal, however, that the main
distinction resides. That of the present
one is a complete counterpart of the black
and-tan- terrier dog. Its teeth are over half
an inch in length, and are called in COL
slant requisition to discountenance all at
tempts at familiarity. When flying, the
wings of this ill-omened beast stretch from
tip to tip at least five times the diameter of
its body. 1t is of deep jet black color,
the body being covered with heavy fur.
It. is very savage, being on the constant
alert to attack any person approaching it.
Whether this animal is full and perfect
vampire, whose feats of luling man to
sleep with the waving fan motions of its wing
sucking in the victims very heart-blood, is
yet question, for as yet it has not been
examined by any scientific man. It's ap-
pearance is, however, enough to suggest the
truth of such horrible surmise. Be it as
it may, the little Micronasian island has al
ways borne weird and frightful reputa-
ton among the native inhabitants Of the
adjoining ones. Strange stories Of canni-
baliSxn, tales of savage idolatrous practices,
poison valleys, etc., are constantly connec-
ted in their minds with its name, and in
the small matter of being possessed of
blood-imbibing vampires in addition to all
the Others horrors, few of them would
think the matter extraordinary or the least
doubtful. The besst, it is believed, will
shortly be placed On exhibition at some of
our places Of public resort.

LONDON, March 15.-Disraeli has de-
clined to accept Office. He waited upon
the Queen at Buckingham Palace to an

reasons which impel him thereto. Earl
Derby concurs with Disraei in the convic-
ton that the Conservatives cannot accept
the responsibility of forming government
at this time.
LATER.-Since the announcement this
afternoon that Disraeh and the Earl of
Derby declined to accept Office, nothing
of a definite character transpired. A rumor
is current this evening that Earl Granville
will be Premier and Right Honorable Ed

A FRESH subject for Bret Harte. For
some months past there has been airing
his body, figure and long hair in Kansas City,
lounging in open carriages, ogling the ladies
from street corners, and "bucking the IL
ger'' into faro banks, a noted desperate
known as "Wild Bill" William RickoX,
ESQ.,, was the way he signed it, and a pis-
tol-shot was his seal. He had hardly fin
gers and toes enough to count the men he
had killed in various frontier brawls, and
the fame of his proves was great in the
land. A few days since, as We learn from
the Kansas City Ne1os, Wild William de-
parted for Salina, Kansas, where he was
met in a bar-room by a Texan who had rid
den nine hundred miles in search of him.
William had shot the Texans brother, and
having now spotted his man, the ayenger
out with his derringer and 'plunke6" him,
as he fscetiously expressed 1t. After &C
compIishing his purpose, he courteously in-
timated that if any gentleman present de-
sired to "take hand in this ERE game" he
would accommodate him. As all the spec
tstors declined with thanks, the Texan
bowed blandly and retired with besming
countenance.

kEGIsLATIVE.

After nearly three days discussion, the
fundiLy bill was passed in the House yes
terday afternoon with slight amendments
oy a vote of forty-fve to twenty-three.
The amendments were Immediately con-
CURED in by the Senate. This bill has oc-
casioned in each house the most lengthy,
exciting, interesting and the ablest
discussion Of any measure which
has been before This session of the
General Assembly. We have published
most of the speeches delivered in
the Senate. OF the speech Of Senator
James there was no report made. 1t is no
disparsgement to others 10 say that it was
10y far the most effective speech that has
been madein that body. 1t deserved and
received the highest encomiums of sll who
heard it.
The debate in the House has been more
lengthy. The principal speeches, in oppo-
sition TO the bill, were made by Messrs.
Cummins, Head, MulVerhiI, Jamison
and Noblitt. Of these the speech
of Mr.. Cummins was the most
elaborate, and evidently prepared with
great care. We may take occasion to
notice ii more at length hereafter. In
favor of the bill the principal speeches were
made by Messrs. Orr, Lindsay, Elder, Nc
Farland and H ouk. The speech of Mr..
Mcfarland yesterday was compact and
powerful argument, As chairman Of the
Finance Committee, Mr.. HOuk had the
conclusion. His effort was all that his most
ardent friends or the friends Of the bill
could desire. Certainly no ADLER speech
has been made during this Legislature. The
concluding scenes on the passage Of the bill
were of a somewhat remarkable character.
Never have we seen such lacking of PAL
lismentary discipline, so complete a disre-
gard Of parliamentary rules. A bill in lieu
was introduced, the object of which was 10
amend the law allowing railroads to retire
their Indebtedness to the State so as to per-
NIT them TO pay in past due coupons.
This had nothing whatever to do with
funding, was not at all german to the orig
nal bill and was clearly ost Of order. Still
it was entertained without objection, the
previous question was called and sustained,
and this bill in lieu was voted down.
The previous question was then called
and sustained on the passage of the bill,
and the bill was passed. After the pre-
vious question was sustained no argument
on the merits of the bill was in order; yet,
in defiance of well-established rules, the
widest range of argument was INDUCED in
during the call of the roll, under the name
of personal explanations. This bold dis
regard of parliamentary law naturally pro-
duced a wild scene Of confusion, mingled
with considerable personal bitterness.
