HINTS ON SOCIETY MANNERS.
Never stare at any one.

Never stare at any one.
Ladies cannot talk or call across a street.
A bow does not entail a calling acquaintance.
A bow should never be accompanied by a smile.
Where an introduction is for dancing, there is
no shaking OF hands.
Ladies, knowing each other by sight, bow after
an exchange Of cards
Drawing off the glove before shaking hands with
lady is not required.
The inclination of the head only, not the body
is required in bowling.
1t is eivility to return bow, although you do
not know the one who is bowling to you.
A married lady should extend her hand to
stranger brought to her house by a common friend.
In promenades, gentleman keeps to the left Of
a lady, to protect her from jOstling elbows.
When gentleman is introduced to lady, both
bow slightly, and the gentleman opens conversa-
ton.
A lady cannot take the arms of two gentlemen,
nor should two ladies take each one arm Of gen.
tleman.
A gentleman should not shake hands with a
lady unless she proffers her hand, when he should
reciprocate instantly.
A gentleman walking with lady returns bow
made to her, although the one bowing is an entire
stranger to him.
1t is not considered lady's place to bow first
to a gentleman. Immediately on recognition, sa-
lutatOn should be mutual.

home, but leaves without apology.
A lady may permit gentleman who is walking
with her to carry any very small parcel that she
has but never more than one.
In bowing to a lady the hat is lifted slightly from
the head; between gentlemen the touching of the
hat or the gesture of the hand is sufficient.
The person introduced makes the first remark.
When introduced, it is great want of good breed
ing not to enter at once into conversation.
1t is not customary to introduce residents, un-
less the hostess knows that introduction will be
agreeable to both parties. Strangers in the city
are introduced.
Ladies and gentlemen are privileged to speak
to each other, in the drawing room of a common
friend, without any introduction, though gentle
usually perfer to ask for introduction.

The LADY OF CULTURE.-The first element of
true culture is unity. The homely uses of life are
the strong body, without which accomplishments
have nothing to adore but themselves, and are
thrown away. In the swift fluctuations of bust
ness and the terrible reverses which often sweep
away the best founded fortunes, none are safe
1t is folly for any family to rear girl IN the lap
of indulgence for life of luxury. when single
wave of misfortune may sweep thecastle beautiful
away and leave its inmates at the mercy OF Pltl,
less elements. Every girl should be so educated
that, should adversely throw her upon the world,
she will fall like the cat on her feet, ready for
run on her own account. lady OF culture Is one
who can use her knowledge and accomplishments
for her own support in case Of need, and does not
feel that any useful industry is demeaning. The
practical must preeede and support the ornamen-
tai. and even the ornamental should be so thor
oughy ingrained that it can be made OF use IN
case of need. The worst evils Of modern society
will not be got rid till every woman Is able to earn
an honest livelihood, and respects every other wo-
man who earns one, whether she lisa "lady Of cul-
ture" or not-Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper

POETRY.
A DISTRACTED PARENT.
BY CARLOTTA.

Five daughters-four of them engaged
Good heaven | shall go mad
For such surfeiting of love
No parent ever had.
The very atmosphere is charged
With it, no matter where
/ go about the house, trip
Upon some whispering pair.
At evening, when / take my pipe
And seek quiet nook,
To read the daily journal, or
Some new and tempting book,
1 ope perhaps the parlor door,
When familiar sound,
Quite unmistakable, suggests
1t is forbidden ground.
So then more cautiously, l turn
To our reception room.
But, 10! again upon my ear
From its romantic gloom,
Comes softly, yet with emphasis,
That warning, when | start
And leave, as Lady Macbeth wished
Her guests would all depart.
My next resort is then the porch,
Where roses trail and bloom,
Ha is it echo that betrays
The joys of yonder room?
All no, a startled "change of base"
Reveals the presence there
OF Cupid's votaries, and alas
There's still another pair.
''But sure," think, "my library
Will be a safe retreat"
So there at once with quickened step.
1 take my weary feet.
Vain hope-that warning sound again
Breaks on my listening ear,
Thank heaven, my youngest hath not yet
Attained her thirteenth year.
Hark, there she is, and bless my heart,
That popinjay young Lunn
Is at her side-I do believe
That she, too, has begun.
Dye, who love to sit and dream
Of future married joys,
Pray Heaven with earnest fervOr, that
Your girls may all be boys.

THE ART OF CONvERsING.-There are many val
uable vain, and instructive takers, but very few
masters of the art of conversation. And one may
ask why well educated people, asa rule, are found
to be unable to engage successfully in what's known
as general conversation. The answer, perhaps, is
that in general conversation the ightest topics
are most welcome, and fippant tongues have the
reader audience. We would suggest the forma-
ton of clubs to cultivate the best style of cOnver
satOn. We have reading clubs, musical clubs,
literary clubs, and still the art of exchanging
thoughts in becoming speech languishes. If
club of persons were formed for the purpose named
it would have topics selected in adv ance; mem
bers could inform themselves respecting them, and
thus an intellectual exchange might be establish
ed affording substantial advantages. One need
not be satracal in limiting that the art of conver
saion is really dying out from certain circles of
society. This is proved by the fact that eompa-
nies of friends cannot long endure the weight of
society unless it be ightened by the sauce of the
game or the play. In mixed society, not much is
expected beyond certain amount Of conventional
agreeableness of external manner, and yet whose
ever NAV have sweetness and wisdom of discourse
will seldom fail to carry off the palm of social
honor. A really bright, quick talker without Of
fensive egotsm, is a valued uminary in every cir
Gle, domestic or social.-ChristioR htetligencer.

National Associated Press to the Star.
SLATINGToN, Pa, April SO A. M.-There
has just been an explosion of an oil tank
and two men killed and from ten to fifteen
severely burned, some very seriously.
The Lehigh Valley Depot is on fire but
is believed to be under control. Orders had
been given to empty the tanks
from below, when the tanks were
so far burned that there was vacuum, and
the flames rushed in and exploded the tank,
with the above fatal result.
The bridge over the river at this point
was also burned. A train is in waiting for
Philadelphia below the wreck. All passen-
ger trains will run as usual.
Arrangements are being made to erect a
temporary bridge, which it is thought can
be completed in forty-eight hours. All
freight trains will be discontinued for the
present The fire is still burning but no
further danger is feared
SLArINGToN, April Sill A. M.-The ex-
ploson was of the most terrible character
The buildings were shattered and glasses
broken. Portions of the engine and cars
were thrown over three hundred yards.
There are several conflicting stories as to
who is to blame. There is signal-tower
here, and it was the duty of the hind brake
man to signal engine No. 49, which was
running irregular, back.
The engineer of No. 154, John Walters,
and the fireman, Irwin Mosser, assert that
the light was not turned so as to signal
them back, and several citizens confirm this
statement. Even if they had been signaled
it would have been impossible to stop the
train, as it was heavy one and down
grade.
Walters and Mosser are seriously injured.
A portion of the depot platform is destroyed
and great injury done to the track.
SLArINGToN, PA, April 5-3 P M-The
names of the killed and burned are as fol-
lows: VIM. Shoemaker, killed; Daniel
Riber, Edward Seibert, George Ioes, Jones
Schner, Aaron snydd, VIM. Kayn, Joseph
Goldberg, John Rohrbach. David
Hughes, Samuel Wassell, burned.
Of the wounded, four or five are not ex
pected to recover. Two other oil tanks
have exploded. The Mauch Chunk Fire
Department are working hard to save prop
erty. Many streams of water are pourine
on the fire and houses. Great excitement
prevails here.

forstte first time at Riverside, to an ex.

the characters were to be sustained by Mrs.
Richey, Miss Gordon Mr.. Frank Dunnie
and H. J. Wetherell. All of them were in

said he could not possibly swear that the
body he saw in the bath tub was Madame
Restell's He was rot familiar enough with
her features to recognize the corpse as hers.
Deputy Coroner Cushman, in answer to the
theory of supposed substitution, said it is
not probable the body could have been
taken through the house without some
members of the family knowing it.
Another thing, the throat would have to be
cut in the bath tub and then water would
have to be turned on to carry off the blood
and thus carry out the theory of suicide.
He could not possibly swear that the body
in the bath tub was that of Madame Res
tall. Mr.. Comstock was interviewed be-
fore his departure and he said he feared
some trickery about the matter all along,
and gave notice before the suicide an
nouncement that he should have Madame
closely watched as she would be putting up
some job to escape punishment.
