BouncIng Railway PASSENGERS.

The right to eject passengers from
cars for nOn-payment Of fares has been
brought before the Supreme Court Of
Ohio i'll a case in which the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton Railroad COmpa-
ny was interested. The rates of fare
fixed by the company, and which, by its
established rules, it was made the duty
of the conductor to demand, were high
or than those allowed by law. The
plaintiff rendered what he claimed to
be, and what was ultimately held TO be,
the legal rates, and upon refusal to pay
more was elected from the car, but with
out any Tudeness or unnecessary ViO-
lence. 1t also appeared that the plain
tiff, at the time he took passage, knew
the established rates, and expected to
be elected from the cars, intending to
bring an action for such election, i'll or
der to test the right Of the company to
charge the established rates, 1t was
held that the plaintiff was only entitled
compensatory damages, and that it was
competent for the company, for the
purpose Of mitigating damages or
or preventing the recovery Of exem-
plsry damages to give in evidence
subsequent declarations of the plain
tiff, tending to prove that his object
in taking passage on the cars was
Omake money by bringing suits against
the company, for demanding or receiV-
ing their established rates Of fare. If
generally sustained by the courts of all
States, this decision will tend to check
the operations Of LtigiOus persons who
seek to derive pecuniary advantages by
bringing actions against railroad COM
Panies, except in instances where seri-
Gus personal or pecuGiary damages have
been sustained. In this case the true
remedy would have been a prosecution
Of the company for violating the law
limiting the fare, and not an invitation
70 further aggression.

ENGLISH Pollteness.

One thing which viii favOrably im-
press an American toward the English
is the universal politeness which IS
everywhere prevalent. I say in the
end, because at first, when a Yankee
lands here fresh from the breezy inde-
pendent style which prevails among
our people, he is inclined to fancy that
poiteness is OverdOne, ane that it is a
sham, a something which lies all on the
surface. This may be true to a very
considerable extent.
When a shopkeeper, after you have
purchased tuppence worth Of some
thing after you have taken up half an
hour Of his time, bows you out and
says. "Thank you, thank you very
muchl" and does it all with an air Of
deferential regard, you cannot help
feeling that this volume Of thanks
comes from no deeper source than his
lips; you may suspect the motive and
rather despise the manner Of giving it
expression, and yet you cannot but like
and be sOOthed by the fattery involved
in the whole transaction.
Have you any good. smoking tObao-
COZ" I asked an old lady, who stood be-
hind the counter Of a tobacco shop.
''Thank you, sir Yes, sir; ere is
some, tenpence the hounce, strip
I examined it, smelled it, and con
cluded I didn't want it.
''NO, I believe not. It's not just
what I want"
''Thank you, sir! Good morning,
sirl Thank yOUI"
This Is not an uncommon case. The
red-shirted bootblack touches his cap
as you approach, and he thanks you
and touches his cap as you give him a
penny for his labor; or, if you decline
to patrOnize him, he is very apt to
touch his cap with his dirty fOre-fnger,
and say ''Thank you, sir" all the
same.
The barber who shaves you says
Thank you" when you turn your face
over so that he can shave on the oppOs-
ite cheek; the cabman, the bus con
ducter, the bridge tender, everyone to
whom you pay money, always receives
it with pleasant acknowledgement.
1t may be that you knOwsthat in every
one Of the cases not one is animated by
any true spirit Of p0liteness; and that
while thanking you with his lips he
may, in his heart, regard you as a nui-
sance, a barbarian, or anything else
Observation-Disclosures, the polite
uess is there, it is agreeable, and it
eommends itself as far superior to the
surly independence in use among
Americans Of the same class.

Capturing Ostriches.

The greatest feat of an Arab hunter
is to capture an ostrich. Being very shy
and cautious, and living on the sandy
plains, where there is little chance to
take it by surprise, it can be captured
only by weIl-planned and lOng-cOn-
tinued pursuit on the swiftest horse.
The ostrich has two curious habits Of
running when alarmed. 1t always
starts with oUtspread wings against the
wind, so that it can scent the approach
of an enemy. Its sense of smell is so
keen that it can detect a person a great
distance long before he can be seen.
The other curious habit is that of run
ring in a circle. Usually five or six os-
triches are found in company. When
discovered, part of the hunters, mount
ed on feet horses, will pursue the birds
while the other hunters will galOp away
at right angles TO the course the Os-
triches have taken. When these hun
ters think they have gone far enough
to cross the path they think the birds
will take, they watch upon some rise of
ground for their approach. If the
hunters hit the right place and see the
OstriChes, they at once start in pursuit
with fresh horses, and sometimes they
OVertake one or two Of the birds; but
often one or two Of the feet horses fall,
completely tired out with so sharp a
chase.

WOnen's Ages.

Helen of Troy was over forty when
she perpetrated the most famous elOp-
ment on record, and as the seige of
Troy lasted a decade, she must have
been quite elderly when the i'll fortune
of Paris restored her to her husband,
who is reported to have received her
with unquestiOning love and gratitude.
Pericles welded AsPasia when she
was thirty-six, and yet afterward, for
thirty years or more, held an undimin-
ished reputation for beauty. Cleopatra
was past thirty when Antony fell under
her spell, which never lessened until
her death, nearly ten years after. Levi
was thirty-three when she won the
heart of Augustus, over whom she
maintained her ascendancy to the last.
The extraordinary Diane de POictiers
was thirty-six when Henry II. OF France
then Duke of Orleans and half her age)
became attached tc her, and she was
held as the first lady and most beautiful
woman at court up to the period of the
monarch's death and Of the accession
to power of Catherine of Medicis. Anne
Of Austria was thirty-eight when she
was the handsomest queen of Europe.
and wheL Buckingham and Richelieu
were her jealous admirers. Ninon de =
Enelos, the most celebrated wit and
beauty of her day, was the Idol of three
generations of the golden youth Of
France, and was seventy-twO years old
when the Able de Bernis fell in love
with her. A rare combination of cul-
ture, talents and personal attractions
endowed their pOssessOr seemingly
with the gifts Of feternal youth. Blanca
CapellO was thirty y-eightwhen the Grand
Duke Francisco of Florence fell cap
tive to her charms, and made her his
wife, though he was five years her ju-
niOr. Louis XIV. welded Nine. de
MaintenOn when she was forty-thTee
years Of age. Catherine II of Russia
was thirty-three when she seized the
empire and captivated the dashing
young OrlOfE Up to the time of her
death lat sixty-sevenl she seems to have
maintained the same bewitching pow
ers, for the lamentations were heart
felt among all those who had ever
known her personally. Mile. Mar, the
tragedienne, only attained the zenith
of her beauty and power between forty
and fOrty-five, when the loveliness Of
her hands and arms especially was eel
ebrated throughout Europe. Nine.
Recamier was thirty-eight when she
was, without dispute, declared to be
the most beautiful woman in Europe,
which rank she held for fifteen years.

Sunday in England.

One of the jOlliest sights to be seen on
Sunday, is a wagon with the family,
bound for a day in the country. There
is the husband, the wife, the baby-and
quite often two babies-and from three
to a dozen children Of all ages, sizes, and
sexes, packed in like herring, and all
aglow with excitement and anticipa-
ton! Under the seat is a basket, pie
theric with sandwiches, cold chicken,
bottles of beer, and a flask Of choice old
brandy.
Away they go, rattling cheerily over
the London pavementsl A proud man
is pUteJanlilias as he draws the reins
over his powerful nag and dextrrusly
touches him up occasionally with flick
from a whip, long and imposing enough
for a six-in-hand turnout. A proud
mother is pateTtamiIiaS as she admires
the hOrsemanship of her husband, as
she adjusts the multifaTiOus white
wrappings of the chubby, blue-eyed,
fiaxen-haired baby. Proud are the old
er children as they exercise a command
ing oversight Of the younger ones, whose
hats are ever getting loose or awry, who
are ever on the eve of being jOlted into
the street, who are twisting and chang
ing to see this, or hear that, and who
are ever a cause Of profound anxiety to
the mature miss of twelve, or the lOTdly
boy Of sixteen.
Away out iuUO the country they go at
a slapping pace. They select the quiet
est roads and travel along at a famous
tate, between trim green hedges, skirt
ing fields Of barley; coming suddenly to
brows Of hills where a vast panorama
unfOlds itself of fields yellow with rip
ened grain, green groves glinting with
sunlight above a maze Of slumbering
shadows; lOwvineclad farm houses with
their red-tiled roofs, and their yards
ablaze with gorgeous flowers, and here
and there a stately residence, with col
umned piazzas and pointed gables, its
stretches of lawn and its winding walks,
bordered with geraniums and rarest Of
planl7
BY and by, a grove is reached, a halt
is made, the jolly load is tumbled out;
and all the sunny day the husband
lounges, lies, smokes beneath the trees;
the children race and rOmp, the wife
nurses and cares for the baby, and keeps
a vigilant oversight upon her numerous
brood. When the shadows lengthen
there is return. The tired younger
ones sleep with heads pillowed on each
each other, and faces veiled by wander
ing curls; the elders discuss the events
of the day; and, an hour or so after the
darkness has shrouded the great city,
they are at home, and demOnsTative in
their belief that it has been the jOlliest
day they ever saw in all their lives.

The Choice.

A Quaker residing in Paris was
waited on by four of his wOrkmen in
order to make their compliments, and
ask, according to the common custom,
for their New Years gifts. well,
my friends" said the Quaker, "here
are your gifts; choose fifteen francs or
this bible" II don't know how to
read, - said the first, so take the fifteen
francs" II can read, said the second,
'but I have pressing wants" lie took
the fifteen francs. The third also made
the same choice. He now came to the
fourth, a young lad of thirteen or
fourteen. The Quaker Looked at him
With an air Of goodness, saying, "Wiu
you too take these three pieces which
you may gain at any time by yOurlabOT
and industryY'' "As you say the book
is good, I will take it and read from it
to my mother" replied the boy. He
took the bible, optned it, and found
between the leaves a gold piece Of forty
francs. The others hung down their
heads, while the Quaker quietly told
them that he was sorry they had not
made a better choice,
