MANNERS AT COURT

The first important thing is to gam
permission to be presented, and the
next consideration is the dress. Her
majesty generally holds four drawing
rooms in the course of the year. AS
rule, young ladies are presented by their
mothers, though they do not for a mo-
ment think of passing into the royA
presence together Two days, at Ie@s''
before the reception, the name must De

DBATH IN ECONOMY,

Mr.. Rice, well-known London horse
dealer, is dead, and would not be worthy
of an obituary notice but for his COnnec-
ton with Il great man and an important
event which affected the fate of parties.
The late Sir Robert Peel was a very awk-
ward rider. He had no seat on horse
back, could not grip the reins, and was
altogether weak not to say danger
ous ho.aemm. He applied to Mr.. Rice
for a horse that under the circumstance
would suit him: he must be quiet,
steady, without tue trace OF vice. A
( long time elapsed, but at last Mr. Rice
/ sent to Sir Robert Peel Il fine horse,
which answered his requirements adj
mirably-he stood like Il rock to be
mounted, walked or trotted like ma
chine, and stopped when he was wanted
to. The very thing Sir Rober[ said,
after two hours trial; 'and the price?'
-Four hundred guineas." Impossible, "
was the rejoinder Sir Robert declared
he had never heard of such n sum. 1t
was preposterously high. Mr.. Rice eX-
planned that his manager had spent q
deal of time and taken Il vast amount OF
trouble to find the exact horse that was
wanted but Sir Robert would not keer
it an hour longer at such a figure. ano
the horse went back, Speaking of tht
, incident to the present Lord Ossingtor
that gentleman remarked that four hun
, dred guineas was no doubt Il large figure
and he got one for Sir Robert at the mex
Tattersall's sale for about hundred an(
fifty. 1t was a much cheaper horse bu

BEING OWL,

Nothing is more honorable and pleas
ant than civility, and nothing more RI
diculous and burthnsomo than cere-
mony. Civility teaches US to behave
with proportionate respect to every one
rs their rank requires and thcirmerit de-
mands. In other words, civiIity IS the
science of men of the world. A person
Of good address, who conducts himself
with due circumspection, conciiates the
love and esteem of society, because every
one finds him at ease in his company !;
but n. ceremonious man is the plague OF
his acquaintance. Such one requires
TOO much attention to be a pleasant
associate; is too seldom satisfied with
what il paid him, and every moment
feels his pride hurt by the want OF some
frivolous etiquette. You cannot be too
formal to him, nor can he dispense with
formalities to others.

WINTER GAMES.
ETIQUETTE.

AAARA l. L.
The following piece of sbsurdity will
be found amusing to social circle, on
the principle that
\ little nonsense now and then,
Is Telishcd by the wisest men.
Several Of the company7 who are ig-
norant of the game, are selected as the
victims, and are politely requested to
leave the room. During their absence
number of chairs are grouped in the
center Of the room, one chair being al
lotted expressly for the use of each of the
absent players. These persons are then
invited to return, and with n show Of
great consideration, requested to be seat
ed. If any one is so lucky as to take the
chair selected for himself, the whole
company bow and salute him with the
most exaggerated demonstrations of po-
liteness, but the luckless individual that
chooses the wrong chair is hissed and
hooted out of the room with great
clamor
ALhSGlN ING.
The success Of the game depends upon
/ the fact that all the players except the
leader must be ignorant of its require
ments. II possible the leader should
enter the room with Il basket, and as
sumo the manner and whine of pro-
fessional beggar. He should bewail his
| poverty and many ailments with
great pathos, while going round the
circle, and repeat with varying expires
sions his various distresses, always
introducing into the complaint the en-
treaty: And what ! want is ease, now
what will You give meP" Those who
chance to offer anything beginning will

all other gifts with contempt.
Thus: A player may offer to the beg
gar an Egg, an Eel, an Evergreen, ever
an Elephant, but must most carefully
avoid rendering food, clothing, money
!. or aliy other article that does not begir
with "E " If the character is well sup
ported, many Gorleits can be gathered
before the trick is discovered.

The Ohio Democratic State Convention will
not be held until after the National Conven-
ton meets This is wise arrangement. It
will prevent amp conflict between the State
and national platforms. and enable the party
eaders In Ohio TO settle their differences and
close up the ranks. This Is i'm portant In view
of the fact that Ohio will hold her State cleo
ton In October. and the result may have an
important effect upon the general election TO
follow In November. With harmony In the
party the Democrats have chance to carry
the State. If they should do so the presiden-
fial election would be decided In advance. and
the voting In November would be mere for
mality. It is not 80 much the need Of votes
that the Democrats of Ohio are suffering
from, but the bitter jealousies OF party lead
ers. With these united the party has an
equal chance with the Republicans. It is
