THE difference between a conference
and a congress has been the subject Of
considerable discussion in the English
and Russian newspapers. 1t has at last
been decided that congress is meeting
of sovereigns in person for diplomatic
purposes, or of Cabinet Ministers sent
by their respective Governments as pleni.
pOtentiaries, provided they are not
obliged to refer to the home Governments
for instruction; and also, that congresses
can only discuss weighty matters and
make final decisions. Conferences may
be held for the purpose of arranging and
preparing subjects for discussion in a
congress- sitting at the same time.

The canadian Indian.

Between the Canada Indians and our
own there Is all the difference between
wild and tame, besides the vas, disparity
Of numbers When the Continent was
first coloniLed by the French and English,
two distinct lines ofpolicy were observed
10 dealing with the Indians. The French
cnlonists were more adaptable than the
Erghsb, and less proud and eNacting.
They made Lut little show OF taking hold
Of the country. They came as mission
aries and traders, and gave their forts the
appearance oftempoTary Judgments They
entered Immediately upon trade IN the
principal article the lRdiaus could offer
IN trathc--furs and peitry. To profit 10y
this article OF trade il was neCe .safy to
preserve the Indians in the country, with
as little change Of habits snd pursuits as
possible, and maintain at least the friend
ship Of trade. Trading-posts were rap.
idly established, which became the points
of contact between the cOlonsts aud In.
dians; and the settlements Of Quebec and
Montreal were scarcely begun before the
whole extent Of Canada was dot ed with
trading posts, from Belle Isle TO Lake
Superior, where Frenchmen, attached TO
the posts AS factors, clerks, lsborers, and
voyagers, lived from year to year. These
posts became the homes OF the Indians
and traders, and points of settlement,
where sem. civilization was established; !;
and the French mind, led by the Jealous
Missionaries who always accompanied
the traders, moulded the civilization and
religion after the French idea. The short
term of generation sufficed to establish
race Of half-breeds, of no mean proper
ton to the native population, born to the
use of common language and common
faith with the colonis,s, and trained to
civilization advanced to the requirements
of their condition, who naturally yielded
fealty to the colony and loyalty to France.
They were adapted to the country as it
was, and did not require it to be changed
for their accommodation; while they
constituted link between the new and
the old race, and natural bond of
peace. This, too, was an open and safe
field for missionary operations, where the
ever-zealous Jesuits did not fail to SOW
seed that has taken deep root and spread
far beyond this race.--AtLantic MOnthly.

AN exchange says that new way of
fastening on ladies' hats is to bore the
tops of their ears, put in gold hoops and
have the hat strings tied through them.
Thus, step by step, we tread the pathway
to perfection, and ere the darkness of
death envelops all the world man will

PASt and Present.

Young ladies ofthepresent day would
be rather shocked if they were obliged
to endure the mOnOtonOus life of the
young girl a century ago. She was
taught to embroider, to sing, and to
dance the minuet. She carried herself
upright and sat habitually on the edge
of her chair, and never leaned back.
Whether she was modest or not, she as
sumed modest demeanor. She looked
down when gentleman spoke to her,
and was shocked when they peeped I'M
der her bonnet, which was really some
thing to do in those days. She wore
her dress very low in the neck, and
very short in the sleeves, because it was
the fashion. She always spoke respect
fully to her elders, and sat in corner
until the gentleman who admired her
sought her out When she danced she
gave the tips of her fingers to her part
ner, and when he paid her compliments
she blushed, or at least hid her face be-
hind her fan. Sensibility" was her
greatest charm. clears of sweet sensi-
bility forced down her cheeks" says an
old-fashioned novel, speaking of its hero
inc. She did not dream of accepting
sutton without first consulting papa"
When she was married she wept, and so
did all the bridesmaids. The girl of to-
day is taught to play the piano and to
dance the glide. She stares about her,
and there is no occasion to peep under
her bonnet. At present, she chokes
herself with scarfs and standing ruffies,
and sometimes manages to give them
anything buta modest effect. She makes
no secret of despising old people, and
at a party goes about hunting her beaux.
Whom she dances, she tells her partner
to hold tighter and not let her fall, and
she is -rouged too highly to blush
When she has an offer, she laughs, refr1s
es it twice, and accepts it the third time,
but does not take pa and ma" into
her. confidence until the last moment
not until it is necessary for them to fur
nish her wedding outfit. Look upon
this picture, and then upon that!

Sunlight Necessary to Health.

Sunlight is even more necessary to
health in summer than in winter, for
one, among other reasons, that disin
fectants of all sorts are more necessary
IN summer than III winter. The ravs
that heat quicken the vital powers. the
chemical rays exert their mysterious
and potent influence, and the illuminat-
ing rays, independently of the others,
as has been recently proved by Mr..
Crooke to the satisfaction of the ablest
scientists, communicate motion. The
exhalations from our bodies in warm
weather are more copious than they
are IN cold weather, and if We shut out
the Eight from our house we remove the
most efficient of all agents in destroy .ng
what is unwholesomc. The noxious
vapors, which free admission of air and
light would remove, are absorbed by
carpets and upholstery, and become
productive of disease. Those who are
accustomed to the darkness and damp
ness of close rooms may not consciously
suffer therefrom, bat that they sustain
real injury Is evident in their 7pallid
faces, their fiaccid muscles, and nerve
less movements. The contrast between
them and those whose lives pass in the
open air Is too evident to need COM
ment. 1t may not be necessary to ex-
pose during the day every room in the
house to the direct rays of tine sun, but
there should be frequent opening of
doors and windows, SO that solar-beam
may perform its beniicent office. Bed
rooms and other rooms in constant use
should receive most careful attention
in this respect. Sick rooms especially

Sensible Etiquette.

Mrs. III. C. Ward has written a book
on " Sensible Etiquette" and under the
caption of Breaches of Good Man
ners some of the most common forms
of incivility are touched upon. II
Everywhere children are taught that
affectation and pretense are vulgarities
that it is vulgarity to yawn without
making some effort to suppress it, or
without conceahng the mouth; to
whistle OF hum in the presence of older
persons, whether in railway cars or in
houses, or to make any monotonous
noise with feet or hands, beating time,
etc.; to play with napkin rings, or with
any article at the table during meal
time; to pick the teeth with the fingers;
to cut or clean the nails outside of ones
dressing-room; to lounge anywhere in
the presence of company; to place the
elbows on the table or to lean upon it
while eating; to take hold ofpersons or
to touch them with familiarity when
talking to them. to speak of absent per-
sons by their first name when you would
not so address them if they were pres
ent, to acquire the habit of saying ''you
know, +" " says he" and "says .she;" to
use slang words; to tattle, to scratch
the head or person.; to whisper in com
pany; to hide the mouth with the hand
when speaking; to point at anyone or
anything with the finger; to stare at
persons; to laugh at ones own stories
or remarks; to toss articles instead of
handing them; and to take anything
without thanking the one who waits
upon you (eXcenting at tablet be it
superior, an equal or inferior. Every

is a rudeness to stand in the way with

to pass; not to say, 81 beg pardon"
when you have in any way inconyen-
fenced some one; starting up suddenly
and rushing from the room without
asking to be excused; going before older
persons, who are entitled to precede
you, when leaving room with them :;
leaving the table with food in the mouth !;

a bow; interrupting any one i'll CONVEX

coming in contact with another unin-
tentionally without begging pardon for
the seeming rudeness; want of punctu-
ality; neglecting to answer notes and
letters promptly, especially those re

passing any one whom you know with
out speaking, with whom you are on
speaking terms; keeping the hat on in
the presence of lady; and many other
equally important things which are
looked upon in the same light every
where. -.

HOspitabIe Beyond Her Means.

The Charlottesville (Va.,) Chronicle
says: A clergyman travelling in the
mountains of West Virginia put up fol
the night at the house of a pious ole
lady, who never refused to entertain
strangers. lest haply an angel might be
turned from her doors unawares
Shortly after his arrival supper was
announced, and the old lady after bless
ing had been invoked, began to rattle
the cups and saucers, preparatory to
the matronly ceremony of pouring out
and handing around hot coffee. 1t was
customary to make, the inquiry, and
therefore, the good dame with gra-
eious smile, inquired of her guest; a#
do you take sugar in yourn. - Fl.

and thirsty evangelist; i'and III be

The old lady began to twist IN her
chair, adjust her spectacles and look
searchingIy around the table She
dipped the spoon in the blue china
sugar-bowl, but it ratified against the
sides ofthe empty vessel. At last she
summoned courage to tell the truth.
With admirable pluck and candor she
opened her mouth and spoke, and the
words that reached the ears Of her guest
were these:m Stranger, we hain't it."

4 ClOselYGuarded Weight.

There is deposited at the Mint Broad
street, Philadelphia. a troy pound weight
which is kept under du plicate locks and
seals. There is a curious history con-
nected with this weight. BY it is deter
mined the standard to which the ac-
curacy of the gold and silver coins of
the United States must attain. The
commission appointed by the president
to test the coins and make the annual
assay use this weight, and on these oc-
casions it is taken from its carefully
guarded seclusion, and it shows the ac-
curacy or inaccuracy of the productions
of the various mints in this country.
This little cylinder is copied from a
troy pound weight preserved in the
tower of London, and on this latter the
coinage ofGreat Britain rests for relia-
bility. This exact witness of financial
integrity is carefully preserved and
guarded from tampering hands. At the
conclusion of the assay commissions
labors the weight is intrusted to the
care of a judge of the United States dis
trict court, the collector of the port,
and the director OF the mint, locked up,
and solemnly sealed for another year,
only to appear twelve months after and
show which mint has been derelict in
its work

The PennileSS Man.

Blessed is the man who is penniIess
for he IS never stricken-fo for dollar.
The dead-head annoyeth him not,
neither is he pursued by the vendor OF
Hitchcock's Analysis.
He is not grasped by the lightning
rod seller. The lunch fend turneth
away from him. The trinket vendor
passeth him by.
He hath no friends to "treat." he is
poor and hath no enemies.
When he riseth in the morning his
stomach is not rebellious from over
feeding; neither doth he click his silver
and say: How shall | get rid of these
dimes ?" .r.. ..-....#
When he eateth he is not vexed by a
multitude of dishes.
His lands will never take unto them
selves wings, neither will the fire de-
YOUR his water lots.
He is not perplexed about taxes, nei-
Their careth he for the rise in lumber.
He hath no ties for money; there
fore, careth not to demonetize; never
theless dime he will not refuse, nor
Will away 1lOIl d lINS C6llGSI.
Yea. a gherkin will he relish, and
storm the out-works for steel clad bis
cult.
Yea, even the itinerant canvasser for
Redpath's History passeth swiftly by
him on foot and selleth not unto him.
He loveth none but himself; he is
selfish; yea, fond of fish, CLAIMS in chow
der, oysters raw, Holsters in vinegar,
will he not despise.
He maketh his lair in bar-room; he
squatteth i'll a keg while it is day, and
sleepeth in barrel at night.
Where the scent of the whiskey is
there he is found; he snuffeth the lunch
with frenzy and crieth ha hal at the
clink of glasses. He liveth like ring
tailed monkey, and dieth like spotted
jehosaphat. .st
