How TO Act and Behave.

Always offer ladies the right hand.
Ladies do not talk across the street.
Walk around a lady's train do not step
across it.
Much underseoring in letter is mean
ingless and vulgar.
In bowing the inclination of the head is
alone necessary.
The well bred are free from pretense or
superciliousness.
Nothing is more vulgar than finery or
jewels out of place.
Never pass an acquaintance without a
SALVATION Of recognition.
The custom of sending flowers to funer-
ais is growing in disfavor.
The true gentlewoman causes all to feel
perfectly at ease in her presence.
More than three in family should never
accept general invitation.
A hostess should command silence from
her guests during the performance of mu-
sic.
A gentleman should not shake hands
with lady until she has made the first
movement.
No woman can dress well who is igno-
rant of the three grand unities-her sta
ton, age and points.
Gentlemen are not expected to take off
their hats when driving incline their head
is sufficient.
It is false notion to suppose that gen.
tlemen may not leave a lady until relieved
by some one else.
Airy fabrics are suitable for balls. Rich
ly trimmed silks are suitable only for
those who don't dance.
Under his parents roof a young gentle
man should never devote an entire evening
to but two or. three ladies.
A married lady extends her hand to a
stranger brought to her home by friend,
as an evidence of cordial welcome.
In marriage ceremony the bride stands
at the grooms left, so that when they turn
to leave she may take his right arm

How g'ennyson Writes.

7'ennyson writes and rewrites most of his
poems three or four times over, or rather
prints them three or four times over, for the
poet laureate rarely uses pen except to
write letters. He moves about on his lawn
with that Texan hat of his, with his pipe
or cigar, or stretches his legs upon garden
chair and muses.. taking an hour or two
very often over couple of lines, and all the
morning over single verse, and this, when
complete, is set up in type at 8 private
printing office. Thus line by line the poem
is built up in type till it is finished. A
couple Of proof are then pulled-one to go
into collection OF original drafts which the
poet laureate keeps as a literary curiosity
to see, perhaps, what his first ideas were,
aud what form they took-and the second
to revise throughout, line by line, werd by
word, for no man is more critical in the se-
lection of his phrases, and the poem is re-
set. This, with possibly few additional
alterations in the margin, is the form in
which we see the poem and although the
prices the poet laureate receives for his
idyls and songs look large, especially in
comparison with tine prices poets have been
glad to take from publishers, they are BY
no means large when compared with the
labor Mr.. Tennyson puts into his work.

NOVEL UsE OF A L0coMoTIvE.-Every

" Necessity is the mother of invention"
Our attention has jnst been called to a new
way of utilizing the power of q locomotive.
Some years ago Porter, Bell 81 Co., of
i'ittsbnrg, sent one of their small locomo-
motives to the famous Dutch flat in Cali
fornia. It was used for hauling logs from
timber tract TO the saw-mill. But, as
much of the timber was in deep canon,
and the mill was on the bill top, the inge-
nious owner desired to make it do another
kind Of duty as well as its swn. They ar
ranged an incline track, placing car on 1t,
TO which they lash tho timber, and by a
wire-rope draw it to the top. The rope
passes over drum at the top of the hilL
and the power is supplied by the little loco
motive. The nodas opsrands is torun the
engine on TO side track alonside the drum
on to friction wheels, through which the
power is communicated; and here, like dog
in churn-wheel, or horse in treadmill,
the engine revolyes IFS drivers without the
engine advancing. and lifts ita load 900 feet
in height ~ 1900 feet Of track, the engine
thus becoming practically stationary en-

woman whose love for children amounts to

hearing herself called mother. This is a
severe sorrow, but even this pain has been

SOME AWKWARD QUESTIONS RAISED By A
SOOTHING WISCONSIN LAWYER.

Relative to the event reported in the WIS.,
eonsi,s of last evening under the caption of
t' Wired Into Matrimony." alawyer corres-
pondent of the Wisconsin Legal NeWs writes
today as follows:
In the daily press appears an account of
an alleged marriage which is supposed to
have taken place Thursday evening. One
of the contracting parties and the officiating
clergyman were stationed in a telegraph Of
fee in Milwaukee, Wis, aud the other par
ty to this hasty marriage +" was seated in
q telegraph Office in Owatonna, MINI. The
bride and groom were very distant from
each other; this is patent as the responses
were communicated by telegraph. Now,
before it is too late, will your readers who
reside in this State and Ninnesota warn
these parties, if they are known to any of
them, that they are not yet very much mar
ried?
1. Section 2, 1881 of the Revised Statutes
provides that an ordained minister's au-
thority to marry extends only throughout
the State" Consequently, as the groom
was in Minnesota, only the bride is really
married.
2. Section 2, 1856 provides that the decla-
ration of both parties shall be made in the
presence of the minister. Even by the aid
of the telephone it would only have been in
his hearing.
8. The same section provides that there
shall be at least two witnesses present be-
sides the persons performing the ceremony.
The Hon. George w. Peck and DIR. Kaine
were on hand, ostensibly as witnesses, but
the most they could do was to kiss the
bride. How could they sign the certificate
of marriage as Witnesses, when they saw no
one but the clergyman and the bride, unless
they understood she married the telegraph
operator ? .-
4. Section 1885 declares that the person
solemnizing the marriage shall give TO each
Of the parties certificate specifying the
time and place of such marriage. What is
the locus in quo here?
5. Suppose that either Of the parties to
this Edisonian feat should die before they
see each other, what law of inheritance
would apply? Would the alleged wife, e,sur.
viving. have a dover interest in the lands
of the deceased? I?
6. Suppose both should live, bat never
meet each other, what would then be the
| status?
The case is remanded for new trial.

BARON aoTHscHIID.
THE HEAD OF THE GREAT LONDON BANK
ING HOUSE CLOSES HIS ACCOUNTS.

A cable dispatch announced the death on
June Sd of Lionel Nathan, Baron Roths-
child, head of the banking house estab-
lished by his father in Londsn in the early
days of the present century. The founder
of tae great estate of the Rothschild family
was Meyer Anse.m Rothschild, created
baron of the Austrian Empire, who was
born in the year 1743, in the Jewish quar-
ter of Frankfort on-the- Main. To him
were born by his wife Gudula five sons and
five daughters. The eldest, Anselm, sue
ceeded his father as head of the Frankfort
house the other sons, Solomon, Nathan
Meyer. Charles and James, became the
heads, respectively, of banking houses in
Vienna, Naples, Paris and London. Ma
than Meyer, although third in age, became
after his fathers death the recognized head
of the family, and the London house be-
came the central Office of the firm. To this
great business Lionel Nathan, born No
vember s, 1908, dead yesterday, succeeded
upon the death of his father, June %, 1885.
Possessing the family genius for making
money, he has added greatly to the enor-
nous family fortune, his operations be-
longing to the grand type in which is
found as much of craftsmanship as of
knowledge of finance. In such life there
is little incident that is, little that the
public knows of. The Rothechilds are
masters of the art in bolding their tongues.
Their victories and their defeats alike have
been accepted in silence. What the world
has known of the late Baron has been very
much to his credit. He has developed very
greatly the family trait of charity-charity
in the true sense of the word, irrespective
of creeds Or nationalities sometimes OF
necessity, open /; but. as chance discoveries
have indicated, oftener secret. He has
taken an active part in English politics,
sitting in the House Of Commons for many
years (1S5S-'74) as Member of the City of
London in the Liberal interest. He was,
indeed, elected to Parliament eleven years
before he was allowed to take his seat.
When first returned, in August, 1S47, and
when subsequently, returned, in June, 1S49,
July, 1852, and March, 1857, he was pre-
vented from entering upon his legislative
duties by his refusal to take the oath of
Office iu which was the phrase son the true
faith of Christian" This phrase having
been expunged by the jewish Emancipa-
tion Act, passed in the year 1868, Baron de
Rothschild was seated at last. An amiable
weakness that brought him close to the
heart of the average Englishman was his
love of horsefesh. He had fine stable,
and as " Mr.. Acton was we'll known up
on the turf. In accordance with the fami-
ly compact, entered into at the suggestion
of his father, and confirmed at Frankfort
in the year 1885, he married in that year
his cousin Charlotte, daughter of Charles.
The compact has not been lived up to rig
orously of late years, some members of the
famiiy-as Hannah, daughter of Meyer
Anselm. and niece of Lionel Nathan, who
married Lord Roseberry last March year
having not only married out Of the family
but out of the Jewish faith.

The !nter-ocsanic Canal Route.

The telegraph announces that that the
Inter-Oceanic Conference, which for some
time past has been in session at Paris, has
decided on the Darien route for the pro-
posed oceanic ship canal. This route is
the one proposed by Messrs. Wyse and Re-
clus, and it Is estimated will cost about
$21O, ,001, 900. By it canal is to be cut
through the isthmus from 80 TO 80 miles in
length, which shall be without locks.
That is, it is proposed to cut a hole broad
enough and high enough for the passage
of the largest ships, masts, spars and all,
through the Andes. or to cut down the
Andes entirely, not only to the level of the
sea, but enough below its surface to float
the largest and most heavily laden vessels.
The time necessary for the accomplishment
of the undertaking has been calculated at
from twelve TO eighteen years, and the
time of passage for vessels through it when
completed will be Two and a half days.
There are a number of reasons for consid-
erlng this scheme in an unfavorable light,
snd at least for distrusting the motives OF
the parties interested. 1t Is q generally
ex pressed opinion that several others OF
the seven schemes proposed to the confer
ence were m ore feasible both in point OF
expense and ease of accomplishment than
the one selected, and many prominent
journals openly charge that the present end
was reached wholly by the skillful engi.
neering of Lieut.. Wyse ard his adherents,
who are backed by the strong French in.
terests and have personal ends in view
Certainly the scheme appears to have been
gotten up regardless of expense, and looking
at the engineering difficulties to be over
come, we fear that it's motives are some.
what less than honest. Admiral Ammen,
the American delegate. has thoroughly op'
posed the scheme on the ground of It's i'm.
practicability, and advocated at all times
the cheaper routes lying further to the
north. SCiil, now that the Darien route
has received the sanction OF the conference,
the whole body of American engineers have
tacitly accepted the situation. They say
that the United States wants canal, AND
that Its location is an entirely secondary
consideration. as compared with its actua
construction at some point. It is to bs
hoped that the canal will actually be con
structed. But, taking into account ths
dlifficnties to be overcome, the enormous
cost, the hampered means of obtaining the
necessary funds, and the way IN which the
| Job has been lugged through the commit
tes, it seems more probable that it will nev
or exist, except In the floating stock. and
that instead of the many millions which
viii be saved by it to American commerce
we shall see our dollars quickly disappear
into the pockets Of these dishonest French
specnlatars.
