Two Glasses OF Conversers.

Around and above all other distinc-
tions, there are two great classes Of con-
versers; those who MAKE You feel that
you are Of some account in the world
and those who have a subtle way Of con-
vincing yon that you have no right to
exist. The latter class is small in num-
Der; but what they lack in quantity,
they make mp in sting. Sometimes they
are gifted with sharp tongue and an
nnerring faculty of saying the most
grinding things Sometimes they are
apparently suave and considerate in
manner and phrase. But, in either case,
You go away from them with a feeling
that the world is stuffed with saw-dust,
that yOu yourself are an imbecile and
an impostor. IL may take days for yon
to recover your proper standing with
yourself. Then, If you ask your soul
what fatal gift has the tormentor, which
carries with it this power of making his
fellow-mortals miserable. you discover
that it is gift Of selfshness. The per-
son to whom you have been talking is
ungenerous. A:generous man, n Rener-
ous woman-you cannot come near such
an one without receiving something that
makes amends for your own disappoint-
ment with, your own i'll opinion of,
yOurself An ungenerous person adds
the weight OF another to your eide of
the scales. and down you Ro!-[The Old

The Co BETwEEN.-There is, per-
haps, not a more odious character in the
world than that of a go -between-by
which we mean one who carries to the
ears of one neighbor every injurious ob
servation that happens TO drop from an
other. Such person is the slanderer's
herald, and is altogether more odious
than the slanderer himself. By his vile
officiousness he makes that poison effec
tive which else were inert; for three
fourths of the slaDder in the world would
never injure their object, except by the
malice Of go-betweens, who under the
mask of double friendship, act the part
of double traitors.

In the life of Hayden, recently pub

Rev. G. G.. Smith, of La Grange
Ga, in an address on Decoration Day
said:
"Go lay your garlands on those graves,
and il perchance some one who wore the
blue, who died far from his Northern or
Western home to save a Union he had
been Taught to idolize. lies beside him
who wore the grey, lap garland upon
his tomb. And il may be on each grave

both reaching toward the sky, they will
embrace one another. and towering, each
shall shed common fragrance on the
graves Of those who loved duty more

NOrristown Herald: A correspondent in
Upper Merton asks us how to hive bees.
This is n subject We have never given
much study; but We suppose the safest
way would be TO 60 around and pick
'em up, one by one, with a pair of tongs,
and drop 'em into the hive. Great care
should be taken to drop 'em in gently,
90 No not to disturb their slumbers, for
bee suddenly awakened has mors

Washington Knocked Down.

In 1854. Washington, then in com
mand Of the Virginia Rangers at Alex
andria, awaiting the arrival of General
BraddOcks' troops, supported Mr.. FAIR
fax in an election contest tor the House
Of Bnrgesses, against Mr., afterward Col.
onel, William Payne of the Continental
Army. This seems to have been one Of
those rare occasions when WasbIngton's
hot blood got the better Of hIs peerless
Judgment. Fierce words passed between
the two gentlemen, iH the Market Square
of Alexandria, ending by an outbur-t of
rage from Payne, in which he feIIed
Washington TO the earth. The Rangers
rushed from their barracks and surround-
Ell Payne, but Washington, with calm
dignity, dispersed them. A duel seemed
inevitable. On the following day, how
ever, Washington sent for Payne, and,
extending his hand. said, with a gentle
courtesy, that touched the ether to the
heart: Mr.. Payne, to err is human.

Colonel Payne retained for Washington
a devoted and unbroken regard.-f"A

WashingtOn's Temper.

Miss Jane Stuart in Scribner for July,
tells the following story of her father,
the celebrated painter, and General
Washington:
While talking one day, to Gen. Henry
Lee, my father happened to remark that
Washington had tremendous temper,
but held it under wonderful control
General Lee breakfasted with the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Washington few day af-
terward.

al Lee, "he added. that the Pr sident
had it under wonderful control"
With something like a smile, General
Washington remarked, "He is right"

give his candid opinion of Gen. Wash

figure was by no means good; that his
shoulders were high and narrow, and his
hands and feet remarkably large. He

drawbacks, his appearance was singular

Genius is the most peculiar OF attrib-
utes. Genius leaves the water in the
wash basin. Genius never shuts a gate
or a door. Genius borrows small sums
Of money, never to return them. Gen
ins gets drunk and affects filth. Genius
loses its keys and spectacles. Genius
uses other peoples stamps and station
cry. Genius is often a poet. Genius is
incapable of folding newspaper prop
erly or keeping book clean. Genius
always leaves a litter on somebndy's
desk. Genius is u grown baby that dis.
arranges everything. Genius is system-
attic only in bad manners. Genius's
faults are ascribed TO eccentrisity. Gen
ius would be happy, but his selfshness
won't let him alone. Genius, in an ad
Yanced state of civilization, would be
stamped to death by an Infatuated mob,

CENTRAL ApRIcA.-This part Of the great
African continent has been difficult of &C
cess from the multiplicity Of jungles, large
streams, and perils that beset the old route
from Zanzibar, not the least Of which was
the tsetse fly, whose bite is surely fatal to
cattle. The English Missionary Society,
knowing how difficult it is to disseminate
civilization and religion without the help OF
trade, deputed an experienced African mis-
sionary, Rev. Mr. PRICE, to seek new and
less difficult route. 1t is stated that he has
succeeded. He has found a route from Fan
zibar to Upwapwa without much jungle
and no impossible hills OF streams, and free
from tsetse. Besides these advantages, il
affords abundance Of food and passes
through the territory Of friendly tribes.
The discovery is hailed with qualification
by the societies and the traders, and much
good is expected from it. .s9a-a +.

spa,n and the United states.

A telegram from Madrid intimates that
tho Spanish Government expects great
things from its friendly act In surrender
ing TWEED when 1t is not required to do so
by any cxtradition treaty with the United
States. Much Is expected from a small ai-
fair. The act is a questionable one-the
surrender OF q foreigner In the absence OF
law that requires his surrender-and the
expectations Of comfy from such q breach
OF personal right may meet with great dis
appointment. Would the United States
surrender, upon the demand OF Spain, any
political offender escaped from Cuba
Would this Government surrender any
body that it was not required by treaty to
surrender to any Government
IL is further inferred that this subservient
set OF Spain will put an end to all fear Of
the intervention OF this nation in Cuban
affairs; as II the surrender Of poor TWEED
could control the United States Government
in so grave question as Intervention in
Cuban affairs. II the condition were such
as to call for such intervention--as we think
