True Courtesy.

While in Providence, r. L., met Mrs. Mary
A. Livermore at the house of friend. At
the table the conversation fell upon the sub
ject OF politeness. The hostess told of a friend
of hers, little antique in her manners, for
whom reception was given by one of the
Beacon-street aristocracy of Boston. At din
ner the guest poured out her tea in her saucer
to cool it-a method of refrigeration which was
quite au fait 30 years ago. The guests looked
surprised, and some were inclined to smile at
her simplicity and ignorance of high-toned
propriety, but the lady of the house poured
some tea into her saucer and drank it there
from. This was considered hint to all, and
the guest was Immediately placed at her ease.
Mrs. Livermore said: "I was once the re-
| cipient of very marked politeness of a similar
sort. When was in London my husband and
received verbal invitation from Lady Villas,
whom had met once or twice pleasantly, to
come to her house next evening and meet a
few friends of hers. We accepted and went.
But was deceived by the informality of the
invitation and supposed it was merely to meet
half dozen neighbors or intimate friends of
hers. So we went out riding in the afternoon,
stopping there ON our way back to the hotel.
Judge OF my astOnishment to find the house
illuminated and very large and brilliant
party assembled in full dress i'm my honor.
There was in plain carriage dress, bonnet,
black gloves!"
"What in the world did you do?" inquired a
young girl at the table, impatient for the de-
nouement.
why, went right into the house and to
the ladies' dressing-room, whence sent note
to the hostess saying that 1 had misappre-
hended her invitation and was not in appropri-
ate costume. She ran up and reassured me by
telling me they had come to see me and didn't
care for the dress, and carried me right down
with.her. All in full dress and the ladies
without hats, and hair elaborately dressed, /
with brown dress, bare hands, bonnet ON.
soon recovered the self-possession which the
faux pas somewhat disturbed and was greeted
with splendid cordiality. In a few minutes
Mr.. Livermore edged around behind me and
whispered, didn't you think, Mary, that all
these ladies had ON white kids when you came
in?' l looked around and they were all bare
handed! Moreover, observed that a half
dozen had bonnets on. This half-dozen rapid
ly increased, till we were in aimajority, and 1
soon discovered that no lady who arrived after
had removed her hat! Now, that is what 1
call politeness!' !''-Exchange.

The SecondVeto.

The Presidents veto of the new Army
Bill will be received with delighted approba-
ton by all Republicans, and should command
the approval of the more conservative Demo-
Gratis who are not entirely given over to the dan
gerous folly of State Rights. The grounds up
on which the veto is based are clearly, con-
cisely and forcibly set forth, and the mes
sage is an unusually well-phrased and close
ly reasoned state paper.
The President condemns the bill because
he regards it as an attempt to degrade the
National sovereignty of the States, to recov-
er by legislation what was lost by rebellion.
1t is q step in the path to notification and Sc
cession. The bill actually goes so far as to
repeal the law under which the Burr con-
spiracy and the South Carolina notification
were crushed and the initial movements
made to put down the rebellion of 1861.
Against such an act which abridges the
necessary and constitutional powers of the
General Government the President firmly
sets his face. He has no desire to interfere
with the freedom of elections, and in dis
claiming that desire he but echoes the senti-
ment of the Republican party. But he is
determined that the Government shall not
be crippled by any act of his. As he says,
no intimidation or coercion should be al
lowed to influence citizens in the exercise of
their right to vote whether it appears in the
shape of combinations of evil-disposed per-
sons or of armed leaders of the military force
of +I,oT TT,.+o d.
the army is already provided against by ex-
listing laws, while the new bill would take
away that power Of self-protection that the
government now possesses, power recog-
nized again and again in the statutes and by
the authorities chosen to execute them. Its
effect is ''the substitution of the State gov
ernments for the discretion of the govern
ment of the United States as to the perform
ance of its own duties," "a subordination of
National authority, and an intrusion of State
supervision over National duties, which
amounts in spirit and tendency to State su-
premacy."
Naturally the Democratic majority in Con-
gress are deeply chagrined at the defeat of
the bill. They know not what to do Some
of them desire to pass the appropriation bills
at once and go home. Others who believe
that would be construed as a confession of
error, think to pass a joint resolution ex-
tending the appropriations six months. Yet
others, made desperate by defeat, want to
adjourn at once, and let the bills go. What
ever course may be adopted the Democrats
cannot escape the consequences of their fol-
ly in forcing the extra session.

The Last Armed Soldier of the
Confederacv.

a man who had the appearance of having
just awakened from sleep of twelve or fifteen
years, arrived in the city yesterday on his way
South. He claims to be native of Georgia,
to have been Confederate soldier in the late
war, and since the close of hostilities to have
lived in Massachusetts. His clothes were rag
ged in the extreme, and looked as though the
pieces had hardly strength to hold together
The stranger carried with him the musket that
he had borne through the war, rusty and time
worn, and on his back and side were strapped
his knapsack and cartridge box. He says he is
the last armed soldier in the Confederacy, and
that he is now tramping from Massachusetts to
his old home in Georgia, which he has not
seen for many year. Though his naked skin
could be seen in many places through his rag
ged clothing, and his soiled beard reached
down to his waist, the man by his conversation
exhibits great intelligence. He walked yester-
day from Richmond to Petersburg, and left in
the afternoon, after having received peeuniary
assistance from several citizens, on his walk to

mending the late veto Message, and con-

States, but only upon those conditions.
Such a condition of affairs, were it to exist,

people of Illinois, and, I might say, the
whole West, heartily applauding your refus-
al to abdicate the power conferred upon you
by the Constitution, believe that they may re-
ly upon you to still resist the threatening
encroachments upon your prerogatives and
upon the liberties of the people as represented
and embodied in the Executive. They ask
YOU to do this in order that the powers of

reckless and defiant spirit of revolution may
be checked, and that republican liberty may
be perpetuated on the American continent" /"

THE statements of Senator Hill that he was
Union man have called to mind some reso-
lutions which he introduced as member of
the Confederate Senate in 1862. One was to
declare that every officer and soldier of the
Union army found on the soil of the Confed-
erate-States after January, 1868, should be
presumed to have entered that territory for
the purpose of melting insurrection and abet-
ting murder, and upon conviction should
suffer death; and that this section should
continue in force until the proclamation of
emancipation was rescinded. He also intro
duced resolution providing that every Off
Ger or non-commissioned officer of colored
troops, if captured, should suffer death. and
that all pretending to give slaves their free
dom, under the Presidents proclamation, or
act OF Congress, should, if captured, suffer

At no time in the ihisto-
ry of medicine has an ar
ticle appeared which has
/ met with greater approx
al and success than Ben
sons Capcine Plaster.
Why they are preferred
to all other porous plas-
tiers, is owing to their i'm
proved composition; they
act instantaneously, cure
speedily and effectually.
Physicians and the gen
eral public who ackOwl-
edge the great benefits de-
rived from the use of the
ordinary porous plaster,
however, maintain that
their action is not suffi-
ciently prompt, requiring
time, patience and con-
tinuOus wear to effect a
cure; Benson's Capcine
Plaster overcomes this
difficulty by accomplish
ing in a few hours that
(which it takes any other
plaster as many days.
Although a recent in
: vention, Benson's Cap
cine Porous Plaster has
been thoroughly tested by
physicians, and have been
pronounced the most
thoroughly efficacious
plaster ever devised.
Its marvellous influence
over the circulation, and
general effect on the sys-
item is almost incredible;
from the moment of its
application to. the affected
part, it operates with as
Itonishing vigor, brings re-
lief and cures more effect
ually than any known
Plaster, Liniment or Com
pound.
When you desire
prompt relief, ask your
Druggist for Benson's
1 Capcine Plaster. Avoid
worthless plasters having
a similar sounding name.

The National Board of Health, recently
in session at Atlanta, decided upon these
general methods of preventing the spread of
yellow fever: "All steamboats, before leav-
ing any seaport for inland points are to be
examined by the sanitary authorities and a
certificate given in accordance with the facts.
II, while on their passage up the river, any
cases OF fever should break out, authority is
to be given to order the infected vessels back
at once. No such authority now exists any
where. With regard to railroads, Gordon
is to be established at a distance of from
twenty to sixty miles around any place where
the fever prevails, and passengers, baggage
and freight are to be examined and trans
ferred to other cars, and in case of necessity
more rigorous measures are to be applied to
prevent the spread of the contagion.''

SAYS the Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald: "There are Repub-
licans here and good political managers who
still hold that the true course for their party
in New York this fall is to reject all little
known or second rate men and put at the
head of their ticket the most conspicuous
and ablest man of their party. They argue
that the nomination of Mr.. Conkling for
Governor, for instance, would force Mr..
Tilden to take the Democratic NOM
ination, and that this would demoralize the
Democrats not only in New York is abso-
lutely certain this fall and secure to the
New York delegation in the National Con-
vention next year the influence the State de-
serves and the nomination of the candidate.
The peremptory refusal of Mr. Conkling has
put some of these gentlemen upon looking
for another candidate, and the names of ex-
Secretary Fish and Secretary Evarts are
mentioned but it is generally acknowledged
that it would not do to nominate any one
whose election would be so disagreeable to
Mr. Conkling as to make him lukewarm in
the cause 1t is possible that more formal
and general demand may yet be made upon
Mr. Conkling to accept the nomination on
the ground that it is necessary to secure the
State; that his success will enable him to
secure the Presidential nomination for him
self, or if he prefers it, for Gen. Grant, and
that, in any case, his service as Governor
would be brief, as he would either be called
to some higher position, or be at once re-
elected to the Senate if he preferred that.
The nomination of man of national repu-
tation for Governor of New York this fall is
desired by many Republicans here, who re-
gard the contest there as of even greater
ultimate importance than that in Ohio, be-
cause of the large vote and influence of New
York in the nominating convention, and
there is reason to believe that the leaders of
the Grant movement would very much like
Mr.. Conkling to accept the nomination as
helpful to their plans"
