Traits of u Gentleman.

Why does every traveller feel that an
Arab Is u gentleman, or that Turk is IA
gentleman Because both the Turk and
the Arab manifest perfect sef-possession
without touch of self-assertion, have an
air of command devoid of arrogance, are
tranquil amid riot, and composed amid
difficulty and disturbance. These quail.
ties seem to us to spring from habits OF
command, and from an inherent sense of
superiority, and the observation will apply
with equal force to English gentlemen,
A gentleman is gentleman, and there's
an end ont. He does not want to be
anybody else, because he does not recog.
nize any superior, save of the titular or
disciplinary sort. Your vulgar person,
or even your person who, without being
vulgar, ia not gentleman, is conscious
of his inferiority, and periodically labors
to conceal or cloud it. There is no con.
cealing it, and the attempt only exposes
the fact more glaringly to view. This
sort of person, too, is not calm, not self.
possessed; he Is fussy, solicitous, domi-
nsered by circumstances, instead of
qulCLly scltllnB uOWn 10 level Win
them. This by no means implies that a
gentleman must not cope with circum-
stances when they are important enough
to demand the exercise of his energies.
But when he comes cut of the battle,or the
Senate, or the hunting-feld, no matter
what he has gone through, he is composed
and quiet once more. He never swag.
gers; he never makes unnecessary apollo.
gies or explanations. He takes things as
he finds them. Now and then, no doubt,
the idiosyncrasies of genius will lend an
exceptional fervor to the manner of a gen.
teman; and Lady BIesSington was so
unaware of this that she expressed her
self surprised that Byron's manner in
conversation was not as quiet as she
would have expected from person of
his rank. The observation was at once
stupid and snobbish. There is no cut
and.dry receipt for a gentleman; but he
is as unmistakable to those who know
one, as the color of flower, or the scent
of leaf.

past grief and suffering were forgotten in

he was hailed as AlIan's rescuer, and en-

DEADwooD IN BRIEy.-There is no
such place anywhere. 1t shows up in its
worst forms the "fast and fash" Ameri.
can trait. A little over year ago the
site of this swarming camp was a part OF
the bowling wilderness. To-day there
are along the streets and up and down
the gulches, within a mile, over 10000
people. Here is city of 1000 inhabi-
tants, with a floating population of D
900 more. About 1900 houses and huts,
and hundreds of tents up the hillsides'
an academy, church, two daily newspa-
pers, four banks, twenty lawyers, physl-
clans, dentists, artists; club houses, thea
tres in full blast every night, the streets
thronged with speculators, tramps and
bummers; gambling hells open all day
long, and "cappers" on every corner
watching for the next "victim'-such IS
a hasty glance at Deadwood. 1t is
place in which the few prey upon the
many. You can not buy anything Tor
less than quarter; your living costs you
double what it would at Denver or SAT-
Lake City. You can't step in any direc-
tion without facing some device for get
ting rid of your money. They have even
got "corher" on postage stamps, ana
you must pay from dime to a quarter
for a three-cent stamp.-Cor. Of Ne"

AN old but vigorous.lOoking gentle
man, seemingly from the rural districts,
got into car and walked its full length
without being invited to sit down.
Approaching one gentleman, who had q

piled the broad-shouldered agriculturist,
II will keep the seat until the gentleman
comes" The original proprietor with
drew himself haughtily TO one end and
looked insulted. After while the train
got in motion, and still nobody came to
claim the seat, whereupon the deep.
chested agriculturist said: "Sir, when
you told me this seat was occupied you
told me lie"-such was his PLAIN Ian,
guGge-"I never sit near liar, if | can
avoid it; would rather stand up
Then, appealing to another party, he said,
"Sir, may | sit next to youl You don't
look like liar" We need hardly say
that he got his seat, and that the original
proprietor thought there was something
wrong about our social system. -Balti.

Slow and Sure Wins.

We are often moro hasty than sure in
our affairs. We accept our undertakings
which when fairly realized and begun
are beyond our strength, and land us in
discontinue aud misfortune. Had we
measured time and our ability with
more exactness, we should have saved
ourselves from the modification of fail
ure, or the terrible strain and conse.
quent reaction following on the fulfill
ment of our promise and the exact rem
dering of our assigned tasks. And if we
ever do succeed in the rendering Of those
assigned tasks we are certain not to have
done them so we'll rs if we had taken
more time about them-been slower and
so much surer. This hasty work, in
deed, is the ruin of all things; aud in
this we must confess that women are
generally to blame. They will not 90
slowly, and therefore surely, save in the
as yet exceptional instances where they
have begun their career from the begin.
ning fairly and honestly as men. The
uneducated and unframed among them
expect to leap at high bound into the
place of head center without having
climbed the ladder by the steps of gradu.
al development and in the labor of ap-
prenticehood; and in consequence their
work fails, the reins snap and they turn
over into the ditch, where they lie calling
loudly on Heaven to help them and smite
the injustice of man, instead of thinking
that perhaps they, like Phaeton before
them, made haste to drive before they
had learned to hold the reins. Haste in
making ones plans is less valuable than
slowness and sureness in the considera.
tion, and all due speed and promptitude
in carrying them out. Hasty impressions
of things are as certain to be wrong as
hasty impressions of people; and that
half knowledge that results from super
fetal scamper through places is almost
worse than no knowledge at all. Undue
haste, indeed which must not be con-
founded with energetic action wisely con-
sidered and powerfully performed, is a
form of unwisdom to be deprecated
wherever met with and is sure never to
come to good ends.-2he London Queen,
THE other day an unlicensed cigar
vender was arraigned before U. 5. Com
missioner Osborne, charged with violat-

The fellow pleaded in answer as follows:
"Why, Commissioner, these are not cigars.
These are only cabbage leaves and not
taxable" "Ah if that is so, responded
Commissioner Shields, "why do you not
procure some corned beef, and furnish
your customers with the edible that
should properly accompany the cabbage
leaves and without which their consump-
tion is not usually considered agreeable.

The York Comfy Ticket,

Indications point strongly now to the elec-
tion of the whole Republican County ticket
in York. In fact there really seems to be a con-
test on only two of the places-those of sher-
iff and county attorney. Upon these two
places, then the chief interest centers and
it is well for the good, temperance-loving,
law-abidipg citizens of old York to consider
carefully what this contest means. Let
them look to it and see if the old struggle be-
tween rum and temperance is not being
fought out again on their soil. Is it not un-
derstood that the election of Emery and
Stevens means the practical suspension of the
enforcement of the prohibitory law and the
establishment of tippling shops in every city,
village and four corners throughout the length
and breadth of the country? 1t may be said
that these officers if elected will be compelled
to enforce the law; but everybody knows
that there are many ways in which the law
may be ostensibly enforced but practically ig.
nored when sheriff and county attorney both
wish it so. A few seizures will be made for
forms sake; but good care will be taken to
pounce upon only those who politically or
otherwise have offended the officers, or if
their friends must be looked after, to give sly
and timely notice so that no harm will be
done.
The people of York may as well look the
matter fairly in the face and recognize that
in their vote for sheriff and county attorney
this year they must decide between rum and
no rum. It is idle to endeavor to avoid the
issue. 1t is clearly presented and any man
who attempts to argue it away either de.
ceives himself or tries to deceive others.

The Rank of Venice,

The Greenback papers in this State are
still talking about the Bank of Venice, and
declaring that its paper currency was kept in
circulation at premium on gold for over
four hundred years. What are the facts
about that Bank? The assertion of the Ma
tionals is not a new one. 1t was put for
ward in the House Of Representatives and
conclusively answered by Mr.. Burchard of
Illinois, who gave full history of the Bank,
and sustained his position by copious quota
tions from the original authorities. This is
the substance of his explanation: The weight
of the silver ducats in Venice was fixed by
law, but the current coin of the day was
subjected to all manner of curtailment; it
was worn, sweated, clipped and otherwise
debased. Transactions were kept inducats,
the bank keeping its accounts in ducats OF
the standard weight. 1t received the de-
preciated coin on deposit, not by count, but
by weight, but receipted for it in standard
ducats. As the current coin was at an
average of 20 per cent less In value than
the same number of standard ducats, the
deposit of 12O ducats of the current coin
would be credited by the bank to the deposl-
tor as 100 ducats standard coin; so bank
credit for 100 ducats was therefore worth
120 silver ducats such as were in general cir
culation. The bank received coin by weight,
giving credit for the deposit in standard du-
cats and the draft on the bank, or credit is
sued by the bank, was worth the difference

THE following is an extract from speech
made by a Democratic lawyer of Charleston,
S. c., to colored audiences, which has found
its way to Republican headquarters: each
of you represents 5000. You would have
brought that in 1860. You were freed with
out your consent, and now, if you will vote the
Democratic ticket, we will make the Yankees
pay for you. and then we will give you half
of the money. There stands old Uncle Jim.
He has wife and eight children, for which
the North will have TO pay me $4,000, one
half of which will give him, and the bal
ance will keep. Then he will not be de-
pendent upon charities. This, my dear colored
friends, is practical solution of the forty
acres and mule question, and you will
some day be lifted from your poverty by your
old masters. Only vote the Democratic
ticket, and we will soon be independent of
the contemplate Yankees"
