PROFITABLE POLITENESs

The Boston TrdrelleT, in commenting on
the prevalence Of rudeness, tells the follow
ing incident that happened some years ago:
There was a very plainly dressed elderly
lady who was a frequent customer at The
then leading dry goods store in Boston. No
one in the store knew even her name. All
the clerks but one avoided her and gave
their attention to those who were better
dressed and more pretentiOus. The excep-
tiOn was a young man who had cOnscien
tiOus regard for duty and sys EN-. He never
left another customer to wait on the lady,
but when at liberty he waited on her with
as much attention as though she had been
princess. This continued a year or two
until the young man became Of age. One
morning the lady approached the young
man, when the following nyCisatiOn took
place:
Lady-"YOung man, do you wish 10 90
INTO business for yOurself?"
ayes, nam" he'respOnded; shut have
neither money, credit nor friends, nor viii
any one trust me-
aWelI," continued the lady, ''yOu 90 and
select good situation, ask what the rent
is, and report to me-" handing the young
man her address. The young man went,
lDlAAu q NaAPANcaA AoNoeAbAif q NCo1 @NoANf betN
the landlord required security, which he
could not give. Mindful of the lady S re-
quest, be forthwith went to her aud re-
ported.
"Well," she replied, ''yOu go and tell Mr..
- that will be responsible"
lie went, and the landlord or agent w9s
surprised, but the bargain was closed. The
next day tine lady called to ascertain the re-
suit. The young man told her, but added
'.What am to DO for gOods9 NOyOne will
trust me-"
'.YOu may go and see Mr.. -, and Mr..
-, and Mr.. -, and tell them 20 call
on me-"
He did, and his store was soon stocked
with the best goods in the market. There
are many in this city who remember the
circumstance and the man. He died many
years since and left a fortune Of three hun
dred thousand dollars. So much for pO-
liteneSs, so much for civility, and SD much
for treating ones elders with the Difference
due to age in whatever garb they are

the Office, and required from Lieut.. Gov.
Penn statement of all the resorts which
were IN the building when they took pos
session. Gov. McEnery and his followers
then withdrew, leaving the capitol OF Lou
isiana in possession of the military officers
of the Federal Government. At 7 p. NJ.
two companies of the Third infantry
marched down, and were quartered in the
building. Col. ThOs. Baylan, MeEnery's
Chief of Police, remains on duty with his
force. The city is very quiet.
No Military Governor.
The last extra published this evening
states that Gen. Brooke had been appoint
ed Military Governor. This solution of
the problem seemed 10 give very general
satisfaction, but the report proved untrue.
No definite action has been taken regard
ing the future government Of the State.
Louisiana Republicans Dissatisfied
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Republi-
cans Of Louisiana here are not pleased
with the terms Of surrender, as Baylan, ap-
pointed by Penn as Chief of Police, re-
mains in office. The late insurgents re-
tain their arms with league organization.
They regard the arrangement as a COM
promise, and matters are thereby eOmpli-
Gated as to the future.
Address 10 the People.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1I.-McEnery and
Penn have issued an address to the people
advising cheerful obedience to eOnsti-
tuted Authorities.

If the government at Washington
should send any troops to interfere
with the good work in louisiana, and
they should come by way of Atlanta, l
will take hand in with the boys to
stop their passage.
This is what Bob Toombs said at the
meeting held IL Atlanta, Tues
day night, to express sympathy
with the people of Louisiana,
and we have no doubt that he has been
afforded ample opportunity ere this to
stake hand" But most of us have
''been there" and know what such bra
vado is worth. God help Louisiana, if
her salvation depends upon such blus-
terers as Toombs.

kellogg Must be Retnstated or Martial
Law Declared.
Washington special Sept. l6) 10 the Cincinnati
Commercial.
That the President shares in the feeling
of condemnation of the earpet-baggiug ele-
ment is amply attested by his OutspOken
utteranoes regarding them in the last day
or two; but there is no evidence
to sustain the rumOr thar
change of policy has been determined upon.
On the contrary, the President is most EN-
phatic in his determination that State
Government once recognized and establish
ed, as has been that of which kellogg is
the head, cannot, in this country, be over
thrown by armed mObs Of its dissatisfied
opponents. He will not hesitate to use the
most vigorous measures kand utilize his
powers to the utmost to reinstate Kellogg.
He will have nothing 20 do with any other
government, or pretended government. If
it is found impossible by Monday next to
reinstate Kellogg peaceably, he will either
drive out Penn with United States soldiers,
or declare the State under martial law.

THAT sanctimonious old reprObate,
Wisener, said in the State Radical
convention:
No greater calamity could befal the
country than the restoration Of the
Democratic party to power. 1t would
undo all the Republicans have done
and remand the colored men back to
slavery.
But it could never remand" that
81 900 back into the State Treasury.

DURING their interview with Gen
Emory, Gov. McEnery and Lieut.. Gov,
Penn intimated very clearly that under
no circumstances Will Kellogg be
allowed to exercise the functions of
Governor of Louisiana, unless he is
protected by the United States, and, IN
eheir protest against the demands
Fhich Gen. Emory made, they state
distinctly that they will surrender the
government OF Louisiana only to that
of the United States. Kellogg will find
a hard road to travel in Louisiana.

WHEN the Governor of Kansas in
formed Grant, the other day, that the
Indians were numbering citizens of his
State, and appealed fo- troops to pro-
tect them, not a man was sent; yet
thousands of soldiers were hastened to
Louisiana for the purpose Of re-estab-
fishing the carpet-bag depotism. Kel-
logg is precious in the Presidential
eyes. and the loss of few hundred
scalps in Republican Kansas Is not
likely to hurt the third term business
much.

have been made in and out of Congress

on the restoration of Kellogg, in which
event we may look for a repetition OF
