She returned it, pointing to the Epis-

''Then she fell on her face and bow

him:
"'Why have l found grace in thine
eyes, seeing that | am stranger 2 "

Mans MANNERS .-Politeness is to a
man what beauty is to a woman It
creates an instantaneous impression in
his behalf, while the opposite quality ex-
ercisas as quick prejudice against him.
The politician who has this advantage
easily distances all the rival candidates,
for every voter he speaks with becomes
instantly bis friend The very tones
in which be asks for a match to light
his cigar, is often more potent than
those Of Webster or Clay. Polish
ed manner has often made hundreds
successful, while the best of men by
their hardness and GOODNESS have done
themselves an incalculabls injury-the
shell being SO rough that the world
could not believe that there was pre-
cious kernel within it. Had Raleigh
never flung down his cloak in the mud
for the proud Elizabeth to walk on,
his career through life would scarcely
have been worth recording. Droves Of
men have been successful in life by
pleasing manners alone. 1t is a trait
Of character well worth cultivating
Never forget the value Of true civility

the Christian mayor of the village of
Brankorsi, after a severe beating sad
died and bridled him. and compelled
the poor wretch to carry him up and
down the street, finally driving him to
the village inn, where he threw the
reins to the ostler. ordering him to
walk his horse up and down. The
landlord demonstrated, whersupon the
rufian knocked him down, and ordered
his victim to be fed with hay. which
was accordingly done, the mayor pre-
tending to swallow it. and being finally
tethered up outside the door. He was
at last released, on the intercession of
an Albanian, but there is no redress,
all Turks considering the outrage an
excellent joke.

MIR. Norton Denies the Soft Infs
peaChmenl.

Marcus P. Norton, a lawyer of Troy;
New York, and an intimate friend of SEN
ator Conkling, has written an open letter
to President Hayes. The occasion which
called it forth was the publication thathe
(Norton) had made a statement chat he
had the authority under the signature of
Roscoe Conkling that he s(Conkling)
would refuse to support the administra.
ton of the President. Norton in his let.
Ter says: 81 am so ignorant about this
matter that / cannot divine whence it
comes or wheresoever it goes i never,
here or elsewhere, made the statement at

from Mr.. Senator Conkling to speakfof
him in any manner whatever upon that or.
any other subject. With malice toward
none and charity for all. ! have now to
say to you that the author, whoever5 be
may be, was entirely mistaken with refer
ence to the matter. now and here again
repeat and say that / never made such de.
claration, nor did l state any wordsin
substance the same, do not propose TO
make any newspaper denial Of The latter"
The statement which Norton SO vigorous.
ly denies was made by him to your COR
respondent in front of the Ebbitt House,
in this city, on Friday night last. He said
unequivocally that he had a letter from
Conkling, in which the latter said be
would refuse to support the administra-
tiens There was preseatat hesztime, r.
j. Stevens, Clerk of the House Commit
tee on Productions, who called upon your
correspondent to assure him that Norton
had not been misqaoted. Why be denies
now is best explained from the fact that
he is willing tc take the Post-office at
Troy if offered to him. Either Norton
lied last Friday night to your correspond
ent or now he does to the President. My
only object, however, in thus commenting
on his letter is to let the President know
that Norton belongs to very large class
Of Republicans who say they indorse him
to his face and abuse him behind his back.
1t seems to show that feeling against
Hayes is prevalent among the Republi-
cans. They have not nerve to standnpr
to it singly and alone, but will swell upto
quite an army under vigorous leadership.
