Of all the sources of bad manners, we
know of none SO prolific and pernicious
as the license Of familiarity. There'i is.
no one among our readers, we presume,
who has not known village or a neigh1'
borhood in which all the people called
one another by their first or Christian :,
names The "Jim," or I" Charley, or
"Mollie, "or {" Fanny" of the young
days of school-life, remain the same un-.
til they totter into the grave from old
age. Now, there may, be a certain
amount of good-fellowship and homely
friendliness in this kind of familiar ad-
dress, but there is not q particle of po-
likeness in it. 1t is all very well, within
family or a circle of relatives, but
when it is carried outside, it is intolera-.,
BILE. The comtesies of life are carried on
at arms length, and not in a familiar
embrace. Every gentleman has right
to the title, at least, of mister" and
every lady to that of " Miss " or " Mis-
tress," even when the Christian name is
used. For an ordinary friend to address
married woman as dolly" or
MARY" is to take with her an unpar-
donable liberty. 1t Is neither courteous
nor honorable; in other words, 1t is
most unmannerly. We have known re-
markable men, living for years under
the blight of their Familiarity used first
names-mcn whose fortunes would have
been made, or greatly mended, by re-
moving to some place where they could
have been addressed with the courtesy
due to their worth, and been rid forever
of the cheapening processes of familiari-
ty. How can a man lift his head under
the degradation of being called "Sam"
by every man, young and old, whom he
may meet in the streetp How can a
strong character be carried when tho
man who bears it must bow decently to,
the name of BillyPrl ..u
This is not a matter that we have
taken up to sport with. We approach
it and regard it with all seriousness, for
this feeling and exhibition of familiarity
lie at the basis of the worst manners Of
the American people. We are not ask
ing, specially, for reverence for age or
high position, but for manhood and
womanhood. The man and womanwbo
have arrived at their majority have n
right to courteous form of address,
and he who withholds it from them !, or,
presuming upon the intimacies of boy
hood, continues to speak to them as
still boy and girl, is boor, and prac-
tically foe to good manners. We sup
pose the Friends would object to this
statement, but we do not intend TO em-
brace them in this condemnation. They
look at this matter from n different
standpoint, and base their practice up
on certain considerations which have no
recognition in the world around them.
We think they are mistaken, but their
courteous way of speaking the whole Of
the first name is very different from the
familiar use of names and nicknames of
which we complain. There is no use In
denying that the free and general
use of first names, among men and wom-
en-, in towns and neighborhoods, is to
the last degree vulgar. Gentlemen and
ladies do not do it. 1t is not habit of
polite society, anywhere. February

THE New York Republican State Con-
vention has been called to meet at Utica
on the 25th of February. The State
Committee are said to be almost unani-
mously in favor of Grant or Conkling,
and will use their influence to have the
delegates to the National Convention so
instructed. "+

AN original bill has been filed in the
United States Supreme Court by the
State of New Hampshire against the
State of Louisiana ct al, setting forth
that the authorities of the latter State,
under provisions of the new Constitu-
ton, adopted in 1879, are about to use
the proceeds of taxes levied for the year
expense of the State Government in
stead of devoting said proceeds, as
they should devote them, to the
payment of principal and interest on
consolidated bonds issued by the
State under the law known as Act of
the Statutes of 1874. The bill further
sets forth that the State of New Hamp-
shire is the owner of six of said consol-
idated bonds, and prays the Court that
provisions of the new Constitution of
Louisiana, in so far as they conflict with
the contract expressed in said bonds,
may be adjudged void and unconstitu-
tional as impairing the obligation of a
contract. The bill also prays for writ
of Injunction to restrain the State officers
of.Louisiana from using the proceeds of
said taxes for any other purposes than
those specified in said Act No. 8 of the
Statutes of 1874.
The reported reconciliation between
the Tilden and Kelly factions in New
York proves to be untrue. The Tam
many men announce their determination
to hold a State Convention and send an
:anti-Tilden delegation to the Nationa
Convention.
INDIAN COMMISSIONER HAYT has been
summarily removed from his position at
the head of the Indian Office by order of
Secretary Schurz. The recent investi-
cation into the workings of the Indian
Bureau by the Board of Indian Commits
sioners developed some damaging evil
dence against it's responsible head.
1t is said that the summary removal
of Indian Commissioner Hayt was due
to the fact that he was shown to be cor
ruptly interested in a silver mine that
had been found on an Indian reservation
in Arizona. Gen. Hammond, Indian
Inspector, had, at Hayt's request, re-
surveyed the boundaries of the reser-
walton, so that the mine should be left
out and upon the public domain. Ham
mond at the same time was in
Arizona investigating charges OF
fraud against Agent Hart OF
San Coulas Agency, and Hart
became aware of the transaction about
the silver mine. In order to close his
mouth, by direction of Commissioner
Hayt, in July last, Gen. Hammond
wrote letter to Hart, promising not to
prosecute him. This letter came into
the possession of Gen. Fisk, one of the
Commissioners. General Hammond
meanwhile resigned his position, and
when called upon to explain the letter
declared it to be forgery, but subse.
quently confessed that it was gen.
uine, and was written by him
at the direction of Hayt, and that it was
at the latter's earnest solicitation that
he had at first denied its authenticity
Gen. Hammond exhibited great mental
and physical distress while making this
confession to Gen. Fisk; and before he
had concluded sank into state of un-
consciousness, produced by rheumatism
of the heart, as stated by his physician,
from which it was at one time thought
he would not recover.

Captain GaIIuD'S Loss

A correspondent, referring to the destruction
Of Capt. E. W. Gallups cattle, to prevent the
spread of pleuro pneumonia, says:
Who has been benefited by this noble course
taken by Capt. Gallup? Who but the cattle
owners of Hartford county? Capt. Gallup has
heretofore been visited by reverses. When on
Spesutia Island the hail DESTROYED his wheat, the
fire burned and destroyed much ofhis hard earn
ings, and at the Dairy the lightning struck his
barrack and burned it with all his wheat, oats
and fodder which happened to be in the field !;
yet the Captain is genial, fine old gentleman,
as fond of joke as ever, and never will say
die" think, sir that the cattle owners Of
hariord county should make this entire loss
which Captain Gallup has sustained fully up to
him, and propose that you open a list and re-
ceive donations ofany amount that may be for
warded to you for that purpose
hardly think that one thousand dollars would
make him whole, but let us try to raise that
now. SEIGHBoR

The Sus0uehonna Fisbarias

A correspondent of tie Baltimore jSua of
Wednesday gives an interesting account of
the shad and herring fisheries in the Susoue-
hanna river and about the head waters of the
bay He says
AT this time three floats and one shore are
IN operation above the railroad bridge at
Hayrc de Grace, and five floats and five or six
shores below the bridge Spesutia Island,
below Havrc de Grace, is the chief shore
where Messrs. Littleton Green and j. M,
Simmons carry on large operations. Besides
Spesutia there is Carpenters Point, worked
by G. Washington Barnes; Cranberry, by
Joseph III. Carver & Co.; the shores of VIII
son Brothers, Caruthers, and some smaller
seines while higher up on an island near
lapidum is the shore Of Spencer Brothers g.
Co. This shore, however, during an extra
high tide, is no shore at ALL All the land of
the little island is under water, and only the
platforms on which the steam and horse DOW
er windlasscs are worked, the mess house
floors and the bushes remain above the tide.
In this state of affairs the fishermen have to
work above the knees in water most of the
day. The fishing floats are operated above
the bridge by George b. Silver and CYRUS A
Courtney, William Ewing and John b. Coale
The floats below Havre de Grace are operated
by Jacob Osmond d Co., e. A. F. Brown g.
Co., William b. Michael d Co., and Serricks
d Penning
Fishing from floats is peculiar to the mouth
OF the Susquehanna river The floats have
houses built on RATS or scows, which are an
chored by growsers in the stream where an
apron is let down until it reaches the bottom,
thus forming an artificial shore on which the
seine is hauled Horses or steam may be used
for the windlasses. Comfortable quarters are
provided for the fishermen and the cluster of
"shantcs' looks like u small village on the
water. When the season is over the village
is lowed 10 harhor, and remains during the
rest OF the year, in use sometimes, for other
purposes.
The correspondent obtained the views of
fishermen in reference to the results of the
system of artificial propagation of fish.
He ascertaincd that Fishermen generally
concur in the report this season that the run
of shad and herring has been so far larger
than last year. While the seines do not land
many shad in proportion to herring, the catch
has been, up to this date, nearly twice as large
as in 1879. Then il was considered good luck
If 20 or 100 shad came in at n haul now the
number is nearly doubled every time, and the
OILERS all take hasketsfull every night. Mr..
George b. Silver says he has noticed marked
Improvement in the number of sllad this sen
son, and is inclined to attributed il to the ef.
feet of artificial propagation in MARYLAND
waters A number of other fishermen ex
pressed themselves in similar terms. Some
20 or 30 salmon have been caught this season
at Silver d Courtney's float, and other fish of
