Manners.
From Chambers, Journal

From Chambers Journal
Men succeed in their profession quite
as much by complaisance and kindliness
of manner as by talent. Demosthenes
in giving his well known advice to an or
ator-that eloquence consisted in three
things, the first faction" the second sac
ton, and the third faction" is suppos
ed to have intended manner only. A
telling preacher in his opening remarks
gains the good will of his hearers, and
makes them feel both that he has some
thing to say and that he can say it by his
manner. The successful medical man
on entering a sick room inspires into his
patients a belief in himself, and that
hope which is so favorable to longevity
by his manner. Considering that jury
men are scarcely personihcation of pure
reason, unmixed with passion or preju
dice, barister cannot AFFORD to neglect
manner if he would bring II men one
after another to his way of thinking.
Again, has the business man any stock
in trade that pays him better than a
good address? And as regards the ''sur-
vival of the ittest" in tournaments for
lady's hand, is it not ''natural selec
tion" when the old motto, Manners
maketh man" decides the contest? AT
least Wilkes, the best hammered but ug-
lest man of his day, thought so. 81 am,
he said, the ugliest man In three king
doms, but IL you give me quarter of an
hours start, | win gain the love Of any
woman before the handsomest"

Good Manners.

the essence of good manners is kind
tloughtfulness of others. The man who
goes to to his room in a hotel stamping
and talking through the corridor, slam
ming his door, and flinging his boots
down heavily upon the floor is merely
hrutally selfish. He is not aware that
he owes duties to other people who will
lie affected by his conduct. He does not
think that he rudely awakens some one
to whom sleep is indispensable, and whom
be has no right to disturb. Haydon's
picture of the man in the chop house
waiting for the Times, which his neigh
hor has held for an hour, and is evident
~ bent upon holding until he has read
all the advertisements, is an illustration
OF this common selfshness. The talk
and conduct in the oars are generally
signs of vanity or a morbid self-conscious
ness. A well bred man keeps his tooth
aches and headaches to himself, and does
not assume that strangers are interested
in his digestion. A we'll bred woman
keeps her children quiet, and does not
assume that all her fellow travellers must
share her fondness for them. If Mrs.
P, with her vivid sense of Mr.. p. 5 pecu-
liarities and of her fine house and equip
age, could only once know how supreme
ly unimportant any individual is, how
well the world Jared before Mr. P ar
rived, and how unshocked the universe
will be by his departure, she would be
modest and well hammered woman. That
knowledge, indeed, would be a general
corrective of manners. A certain kind
of personal conceit often accompanies
undeniable superiority There are men
like Lord Chatham, who like to have their
going and coming regarded as events, to
move with pompous hustle, and to be
constantly recognized as great men. But
if they could only know it, that very
taste is constantly accounted to them for
weakness, and their influence is just so
far lessened.

Women school Officials in Cell.
GOrnia.

The San Francisco Bulletin saws
"There are at present three counties
where ladies hold the position Of Super
intendent of Common Schools. These
are Mono, Trinity, and Tuolumne. The
Placer Republicans have this year made
a new departure, and placed lady in
nomination for the office of county Su-
perintendent. The name of the lady
who thus enters upon the arena OF politi-
cal life is Mrs Charles Pitcher. Ii must
be a source of satisfaction to her that the
first ballot landed her with triumphant
majority over her male competitor, and
secured her the nomination. She has
now to appeal to the larger convention
the people of the county. The statute
making women eligible for position I'M
der the School law was passed at the
session of IS73-74. They have, how
ever, been more successful when seeking
the office of School Trustee than in their
efforts to obtain the position of county
Superintendent. Although several wo-
men were successful before the nomina-
ting conventions two years ago, only in
the three counties named above did they
secure elections. An effort was made
during the last session TO repeal the law,
but it was unsuccessful. 1t is claimed
in some quarters that the law is uncon-
stitutional on the ground that no person
is eligible to be elected to any office who
is not duly qualified voter But no
person has yet been found who is sufii-
GENTLY ungallant to take the case into
the courts"

Sunshine.

The world wants more sunshine IL It'
disposition, in its business, in its chart
ties, in its theology. For ten thousand
of the aches and pains and irritations Of
men and women, we recommend sun
shine. 1t soothes better than morphine;
it stimulates better than champagne It
is the best plaster for a wound. The
Good Samaritan poured out into the
fallen travellers cash more Of this than
of oil. Florence Nightingale used it on
the Crimean battle fields. Take it into
all the alleys, on board Of all the ships,
by all the sick beds Not phial full,
not a cup full, not decanter full-but
a soul full. 1t is good for spleen, for
liver complaint, for neuralgia, for rheu-
matism, for failing fortunes, for melan-
choly. Perhaps heaven itself is only
more sunshine.

cred Tape.''

Curran, when Master of the Rolls, said
to Mr.. Grattan, you would be the
greatest man of your age, Grattan, if
you would buy few yards of red tape,
and tie up your bills and papers" This
was the fault and misfortune of Sir
James Macintosh he never knew the
use of red tape, and was utterly unfit for
the common business of life. That
guinea represents quantity OF shilliDgs,
and that it would barter for a
quantity of cloth, he was well
aware but the accurate number of
the baser coin, or the just measurement
of the manufactured articles to which he
was entitled for his gold, he could never
learn, and it was impossible to teach
him..

Marrying for Money. :,

The Rev. Geo. G. Baldwin very truth
fully says
Gold cannot buy happiness, and the
parents who compel their daughters to
marry for station or for money, commit n
grievous sin against humanity and God.
And the woman who marries a churl for
his wealth, will find that she has made n
terrible bargain--that all the gatherings
Of heartless grandeur are phosphorescent
gatherings of heart wretchedness; that
her life will be one Of gilded misery, and
her old age will be ike a crag on the
bleak side Of desert mountain, where
cold moonbeans sometimes glitter, but no
birds sing, but wild storms howl and
hoarse thunders roar, and through the
sweeping storm shall be heard the stern
voice of the great God saying, our riches
are corrupted, your garments are moth
eaten, your gold and silver are cankered,
and therust Oft them shall be witness against
you, and eat your flesh as if it were ire. "

The Indian Act Again.

THIS time an attempt was made to per-
pctrate the renowned Indian scare on the
new jeweler, Mr.. III. Harris. So far as
we are able to learn Mr.. Harris was not
so badly scared as 10 be unable for busi-
ness next day. MIR. Beatty and two or
three Others rode out with Mr.. Harris last
evening to take a look at the numerous
herds and breathe the country air. Be-
fore they started some one informed Mr..
II. that there were Indians in the vicinity
of the city, which information tended 10
arouse suspicion within the breast of the
intended victim. and he quietly primed
his pistol and placed 1t in his boot After
the riders had rode few mikes west of the
city, the Indians made their appearance
in fantastic array. Mr.. Harris friends
advised him to run for his life. Mr..
Har.lss horse became unmanageable and
started to run towards town. the riders
hat blowing off in the meantime. and the
Indians, yelling hideOusIy, were pressing
close in the rear. Now was the time for
Mr.. Harris to make fight. The idea of
riding into town bare-headed, pursued by
Indians, was more humility than he could
bear. He turned his horse to the foe and
rode back after his hat. As the Indians
came near he drew from its hiding place n
gun of dangerous proportions, and level
ing II at the head of the foremost chief
with unerring aim was about to pull the
fatal trigger, when the Indians scattered
like chat before the morning breeze.
