Home Advantages.


Our habits Of social life differ widely
from those observed in England; and in
nothing is this fact made more apparent
than BY the rules governing courtship
in the mother country. In England, es.
pecially in London, man often knows
next to nothing OF the girl he is Oh.
gagged to. He has met her at parties,
las taken her down to dinner, and
danced with her; has called on foggy
afternoons, and had ten gracefully
handed to him; but he llas learned very
little about her true character, her tenn
per, her principles, her capacity for af-
lection; Tor defects in these respects
must be very marked indeed to show
beneath the decorous self.restraint OF
company manners. The girl, on her
part, is still worse of, since she has
even fewer opportunities OF Judging
what a young man is worth; for he,
after all, sees her in her own house and
among her family. He can notice how
slle gets on with them, and eau often, il
he Is sharp, interpret her by them for
good or for evil. But he is probably
enite isolated in town; she sees nm
knows nothing of his relations; he is
merely a presentable young person OF
sufficiently pleasant manners and ade.
ouate income whom she meets in re.
spectacle company. She does not guess
what the sisters whom he neglected, or
tho scllool.iellows whom he cheated, or
tho clerks whom he bullies, could tell
about him, and has to learn for herself,
when il, Is too late, that he is mean,
hard and selfish. It is fortunate for
their own peace that Englishwomcn, as
u rule, are devoted mothers, as they are
thus enabled to console themselves for

The Moloc Indians.

Attorney. General Williams has con-
cluded that "a military commission
may be appointed to try sach OF the
Modoc Indians now in custody, rs are
charged with offences against the recog-
nized laws OF war, and that IL upon such
trial any arc found guilty, they may be
subjected to such punishment as those
laws require or justify" The murder
Of Gen. Candy is classed as such an Of
fence, and the opinion Of the Attorney
General is based on the assumption ola
state Of war existing between tile United
States and the Modocs, although he nd.
mits that the relations Of tho Indian
tribes to the Government are difficult to
determine. II may here be stated that
tho army oflicorslad everything inread-
iness TO execute some OF the warriors
when orders cam0 for their trial by
court martial-the court TO consist Of

How lie Carried Them.

When q boy can carry anything at
one load he will not go twice after it,
This was the case with boy who was
working his way through Elm street,
New York, the other dny, with twenty
benn poles on his shoulder. Now one
bean psle is about all IN ordinary
mortal can safely carry, and nobody
but boy would undertake to carry
twenty Of them. He had tied them to.
gether at the middle, leaving the ends
loose, and had thought OIL starting, with.
out doubt, that he was n boy OF remark.
able promise. Bean poles are naturally
uneasy. When they can't move one
way they will another but they will
move, and in spite Of all precau.
tions. These did, He had them on
his shoulder ut first, but some of them
got to dropping down behind, and
striking against people, and others fell
down in front, and stuck into the side
walk and made him stumble. Then
again some OF them lay horizontally.
Not but that they preferred to drop Ms
the Others did, but laying horizontally
while the others were in, opposite posi-.
tions, gave a pleasing variety to the
performance. When the boy stopped,
Us he was frequently obliged to do,
some one in the rear would step on the
poles or in among them, and swear at
him. Finally, ho turned round to see
what the matter WIS, and knocked out
the face OF clock man was carrying
in his arms. This so excited him that
hc dropped the poles entirely. The
owner Of the clock culfed him over the
head, and then took down his fathers
name, and swore le would have dam.
ages. The unfortunate youth then
took the awful things up in his
arms, but they wouldn't lay still. They
kept together ut the middle, but were
demorllized at the ends, and whirled
about SO rapidly us to scare him. H
looked like a windmill, aud presented
such IN awful spectacle that people
precipitately took to the street, anu
several horses attempted TO climb up
into their wagons. He had to drop the
load again or be shot down in his tracks
by the infuriatcd drivers. Finally he
made two bundles OF them, and took
one under each urn. Some Of the ends
commencedt to tangle with the opposites,
and get in front Of his eyes, and shut
out his vision. Others dropped down
in front and behind, and one Of those
which went down in front caught SO
firmly in the walk as to completely
upset the unhappy youth, and he came
down on his back-haying turned u
complete somersault-with poles under
him, and over him, and on all sides oil
him. while Just back OF where he went
down, stood n woman picking the wrecks
of n bonnet out Of her hair, and, looking
in the pile for the largest pole was II
middle.aged man with q cut nose and II
rupturel shirt front. The boy jumped
up and fled.

Full dress suits for gentlemen show

very low rolled vest, and easy-ftting

broidered, boots are Of finest cali.skin,
and gloves are the faintest tints Of pearl

at waterins.places, hotels, and country

less ceremony than in cities, this suit
Is abandoned for the simpler semi.dress

Of black or very dark blue vworsted
