the friend and adviser, loved, in the
summer, to meet at Thames Ditton
for an afternoon in the fresh air,
and dinner by the banks of the
river, and drive to London in the
cool of the evening. On one of
these occasions, when Count dor
say was present and sat next Fors-
ter, the walters were remiss, and
the gayety of the dinner-table was
suffering in consequence.
Count d'0rsay ate cold butter
with his founders. Ina quiet tone
he said to one of the attendants:
"Waiter, a slice of cold butter"
But no butter came. Patiently and
amiably the count presently re-
peated his request, and again was
doomed to disappointment. Fors-
ter had overheard the count, and
seen the neglect with which he was
treated. It was too much for him.
Waiting his opportunity to seize
upon the neglectful attendant, he
turned fiercely upon him, and in a
voice of thunder said, Gracious
heaven! waiter-a slice of cold but
ter for the founders OF the count?'
The roll of the rounded sentence
set the table in a roar, and Forster
was not the least amused Of the
company, for he could laugh at his
own outbursts heartily.
As-at Dickens table, one day,
when somebody asked the host how
many children he had.
Four: said Dickens.
Whereupon Forster interrupted,
with an air of authority;
chickens, you have five chill
dren."
"Upon my word, Forster" Dick,
ems expostulated, "allow me to
know the number of my own fam
ily."
"Five, my dear Dickens, was the
firm rejoinder.
When it was proved that fOul
was the correct number, Forster
gave in with laugh.
These touches of eccentric au
thority were a source of infinite
amusement to all Forster's friends
but especially to Dickens, whose
sense Of humor was always alive
So much for the.eccentric side o
| Mr.. Forster's.c character. Its higher
phases were even more remarkable
There must have been something
of commanding excellence in tn,
young man who, owing nothing tt
fortune or to powerful friends, cam
up to London, and, while yet
youth, took his place among tn
leading literary men of his time.

bility they, with their guest, were
invited out to supper (for Philadel-

sturdy growth), and ate again 'tur-
tie, sweetmeats, pies, and drank
brandy, porter, and sherries.' There

The Mar state Convention.

Nashyi le American, lSth.l
Inquiry has been made from several
counties as to the number of delegates
each county would be entitled'te in the
Democratic State Convention to be held
here May 81. That is a question to be
determined by each county for itself; but
the vote Of each county in the Conyen-
ton will be determind by the Convention
when it assemblies. The rule, OF late
years, has been that the vote should be
in proportion to the number of votes cast
for the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernorin the preceding guberaatorial cleo
ton. The Committee on the Basis OF
Representation, Gen. Humes, Chairman,
in the last State Convention, reports in
favor of allowing each county a vote for
every Que hundred Democratic votes and
fractional parts of one hundred cast in
the preceding gubernatorial election.
This report was adopted and acted upon
by the convention,

How to win a Womau,s Favor.

1t is very easy to make yourself
popular with the ladies. Don't
stand back and tremble, and think
because you haven't the figure of
Adonis OF the face Of Apollo you
stand no chance at all. 1t is not
mustaches and straight noses that
do the business. Women, bless
their souls do not care a fig for
such things. Only remember few
little preliminaries, and you can
make them like you even if your
hair is red and your mouth wide.
When you 90 to make an evening
call don't start too early. Ladies
are not well pleased to be caught
before their curls and basques are
arranged. Be particularly careful
not to sit down on the cat or kick
the dog across the floor; the girls
are sure to appreciate any one who
knows how to be polite to their
pets. If there's a piece Of worsted
work admire it don't mistake the
artificial flowers in the vase for
real; if the young lady is doing
crochet work ask her if she can't
teach YOU. Beyond everything,
don't tip back in your chair; for
every crack in the fragile furniture
there'll be a worse fracture in your
friendship. And when she begins
to yawn behind her handkerchief
take up your hat and 60. Short
and sweet, long and bitter" is the
motto. When you are out w9lking
with a lady don't 90 striding along
until she has to run to keep up
with you-the first thing you know
she will run off home. Notice Just
how she walks and modulate your
gait accordingly. If she meets a
feminine acquaintance and stops fol
a nice little chat, it is essential
+! that you should not manifest impa'
tience by balancing on one foot and
then on the other. If she wants tC
look into a shop window stop anC
admire, too, though you may not
/ know ribbon from a railway sta
ton. When you come to a crossing
give her the whole Of it, and g
meekly into the mud. Tell hel
how becoming her bonnet is, anC
implore her to wear it the mex
time she goes to the opera with
you. If you meet a rival younl
gentleman at her house, don't b.
rude to hint is the worst policy
in the world. Be as polite as pos
sible to him; crush him, if you can
with courtesy. Never laugh lout
in parlor, and remember to speak
low. It's just as well not to talR
much yourself; let the ladies have
the preference, and they will prefer
your society accordingly. BE blint
and deaf to whatever they propose
to keep from your sight and hear
ing. Nothing is easier than to b.
a favorite with the ladies.
Humor them, wait on them
+ study their little peculiarities, b.
always ready to escort them any
where, amuse them when they arr
dull, and laugh with them whel
, they are lively, and though yol
may be as homely as a hedge fenc,
they will like you ten times bette
, than the handsome blockhead VIII,
: thinks his looks are going to d
| everything for him.

Rebecca Harding Davis writes as
follows in Harper's Magazine for
April: "The dame of fashion in
Philadelphia during the earlier part
of the last century lived most prob
ably on Market street, below Third.
There and on the river front the
merchants had their dwellings and
shops, usually under the same roof.
Many of these merchants opened a
shipping trade to the West Indies
and England, and from small ven
lures grew colossal fortunes almost
as rapidly as Whittington's. Our
dame Of high degree had noacar-
pet on her floors; her dress at home
was chintz, the brocade or satin be-
ing kept for state evening wear,
while thin muslins were left solely
to the children. She had but little
iewelry, but she followed afar of
the reports of English fashions,
curled her hair down on her neck,
or heaped it four feet high with oil
and toupee, straw or flowers. She
rode on horseback or went in Sc
dan chair to pay visits. Her gard
ener and confidential servants she
had held for many years. HeI
kitchen swarmed with slaves and
white redemptionists.
Once or twice a year Messrs. Will.
ing and Morris and other shippers
advertised consignment of blacks
for sale from the Barbary coast
and every incoming vessel brought
emigrants, Irish or Palatines, whom
the captain kept nailed under the
hatchways until they were sold tC
some of the towns-people. Many
strange stories, tFagical enough
have come down to us concerning
these white slaves and their treat
ment. One was with Franklin,
fellow-'prentice in Keimers shop
he was an Englishman named
Webb, belonging to a family O
birth and property, who while a
, Oxford had become involved il
debt, and been caught up in th'
fields by a 'crimp,' brought t
America, and sold. About TIM
time, too, James Annesley, after
ward Lord Altman, was sold at thu
block in High street to q Dutcl
J farmer. His adventures formed tn
groundwork of Frederick Random
/, land later for Charles Reade's WAN
deriug Herr When there was an
: difficulty in managing these slaves
! white OF black, their mistress il
town sopt them up to the Jail ol
High street for as many lashes a
: she Judged fitting.
"When her husband received
: visit from q friend from England
t or the smaller neighboring town q
{ New York, he usually gave him
lunch in the warehouse Of cracker
e sprats, wine and brandy, whicl
r having provoked an appetite, h
was brought home to astate Dime

A Police Court Episode.

Before Mayor Whiteley, last even
ing, ThOs. Cory, carter, had q hear
ing on a charge of cruelty to animals,
preferred by Rev. John Wilson,
President of the S. L. G. A. The
specific charge was that Cory worked
a mule while it was suffering from a
CALLED shoulder, but as he produced
several witnesses, one of whom was a
veterinary surgeon, who testified that
the sore was not sufficient to cause the
animal much suffering, or to render it
unfit to be worked, the Mayor dismis-
sed the case.
This decision not sHiting the views
OF the Reverend plaintiff, he INDUCED
in some remarks which the witnesses
construed into delicate insinuations
that they had perjured themselves
and given ia false testimony. Mr.. A..
Given one of the witnesses attempted
to resent this imputation, and was met
with the response, 81 have nothing to
say to you; you are man of no char
acter."
Here the Mayor interposed and
sternly informed Rev. Mr.. Wilson that
such insiuuations and remarks were
very improper and must not he persis-
ted in.
This rebuke checked all further
controversy and the parties to the
trial left the Court.
