Evening etiquette A. nu.IInrton.

Evening Etiquette ~ RusIIngtOn.
The Burlington Hawkeye has
the following directions for polite
behavior, addressed to young gen.
tlemen. As city ladies often visit
that part of the country, we print
these directions, in order that such
of the ladies as go that way may
not be startled at the masculine
manners which they find prevalent:
Salute the hostess by saying,
"Cully, how's his nibs % 1t has an
off hand, informal pleasantly about
it that makes everybody feel easy.
If the evening is warm, shout
"WhoopI' as you sit down, and in
form the company generally hat
you do not wear hannels. unless
you do; then own up like o man;
don't lie abouti it,
Make mysterious references to
sundry and divers good times of a
wicked nature you have been hav-
ing with several good young gentle
men in company, and endeayor to
leave the impression that the best
and bashfulest young gentleman Of
all was awful drunk, while the rest
Of you were Only a little drunk.
Ifa young lady takes her place at
the piano to sing, it is your duty as
a gentleman to accompany her with
a very bass "oom-pah, bum, bum,
bum; especially if you have a voice
like a crow, and cannot sing a note.
When the lady is through, you
should whistle the refrain for your
neighbor, who may not have heard
the song.
1t lends an air of easy elegance
to a gentleman to chew his tooth
pick all the time. If you have
forgotten your own, borrow some
ones else.
Take out your tobacco pouch
(you should never attend a party
without it), and make as though
you would take a tremendous large
chew. This is irresistibly funny,
and never fails to makes the ladies,
who cannot chew, very envious.

ten dollars each and the third man was

once again.
The police fred upon several negro
chicken thieves last night when they re-

full of chickens and scampered away

idence game.
The fall meeting over the Nashville

sport. Already there are between thirty
and forty horses in training on the track
and some twenty-five in training at Gal

Kentucky and the East are expected tc

CARLOADS OF silver.

flttsburg evening Telegraph
Among the Jars which were de-
stroyed by the fire of Saturday
night and Sunday, during the prev
alence Of the riot, were ten or
twelve which contained freight
shipped by the Pennsylvania Lead
Company, Of Mansfield. 1t was
generally supposed that all Of these
cars contained pigs of lead, and
amid the surfeit Of other more val
liable and more easily transported
goods, no one thought Of loading
himself with heavy metal. On
Tuesday, after the fire, it was dis
covered that three of the cars con-
tanned pure silver, which had been
smelted at the Mansfield establish
ment, and which was on its way to
the Philadelphia mint. The silver
was in the form of pigs, q little
smaller than the pigs Of lead, and,
like the lead, it has melted and run
down between the ties and in the
cutters. OF course there was no
effort on the part Of the company
to dissipate the impression that the
cars contained nothing but lead.
AS the metals locked much alike,
there were no attempts to steal any
of the more precious substance.
On Tuesday, the proprietors visited
the ruins and removed the metal.
The value of the silver that was in
the cars is not definitely known, but
the amount was several thousand
dollars.

now Anaconans nre cnr.ured.

The anaconda in the Geological
gardens, London, which has been
considered quite a respectable snake,
turns out to be a comparatively
small creature of its kind. Henry
j. Cook, Of Caracas, Venezuela, in
a letter to Frank auckland, states
that in the small rivers which flow
into the 0rinoco there are numbers
of anacondas much larger than the
one the society has, and that in a
large pond, near a friends house in
Maturin, lives in shy retirement
one that is thirty-six feet long and
a yard in diameter. The managers
of the gardens have offered $500
for the capture and delivery in
England Of this serpent. 1t re-
quires an expert fisherman to catch
these creatures alive. In Africa a
live dog is used as bait, and after
the dog has been bolted, the boa
coils up and takes a nap, and then
the fisherman stufIs him into a bag
A big pocket will be required for
the gentleman in the Maturin pond.

town by steam. Not the town exactly,

tire cost at S37 .4s0. The cost OF heating
that portion OF the town in which the
pines have been laid. by the ordinary
methods, has been estimated At 81 600.
600 annually. Mr.. Holly says that ne
can furnish the same amount Of heat for

nous saving Of fuel and labor, and re-
