THE CHARACTER OF A WOMAN
Every man of sense and refinement
admires woman as tcoman; and
when she steps out of this character, a
thousand things that in their appro-
pirate sphere would be admired, be-
comes disgusting and offensive. The
appropriate character of a woman de-
mands delicacy of appearance and
manners, refinement of sentiment,
gentleness of speech, modesty in feel
ing and action, shrinking from no
toriety and public gaze, aversion to
all that is coarse and rude, and an in
stinctive adherence OF all that tend:
to indelicacy and impurity, either il
principle or action. These are the
traits which are admired and sought
for ia a woman.

Hardening SMALL TooLs.-It is
said that the engravers and watch
makers of Germany harden their
tools in sealing wax. The tool is
heated to whiteness, and plunged into
the wax, withdrawn after an instant
and plunged in again, the process be-
ing repeated until the steel is too cold
to enter the wax. The steel is said
to become, after this process, almost
as hard as the diamond, and when
touched with a little oil or turpentine
the tools are excellent for engraving,
and also for piercing the hardest
metals.

An anecdote is told Of n physician
who was called to foreign family to
prescribe for a case of incipient con
sumption. lie gave them a prescrip
ton for pills, and wrote the direction;
Zone pill to be taken three times q
day, in any convenient vehicle" The
family looked in the dictionary to gel
at the meaning of the prescription,
They got on well until they got to thu
word vehicle. They found "cart, wa
gon, carriage buggy, wheelbarrow.
Afier grave consideration they cam'
to the conclusion that the doc
tor meant the patient should
ride out, and while in the We
hicle he should take the pill. ii,
followed the advice to the letter,
and in few weeks the fresh air ant
exercise secured the advantage whicl
otherwise might not have come.

ssfeusiou 20 strangers.

There is nothing that renders a town
or neighborhood 50 attractive to
strangers rs courteous attention paid
them by residents. Such attention is
very grateful and the impressions
made are lasting. Memory will never
recur to them without pleasure. The
reputation OF such locality, as an
agreeable place, a clever people, once
established, frequently becomes a topic
Of conversation, and thus becomes
known to parties who perhaps have
never been anywhere near il. II isso
easy and costs so little TO pay polite
attention TO strangers who come
among us, and thus render them
pleased with themselves and favorably
impressed with Us, that the wonder is
we do not more frequently look upon
il rs an obligation resting upon US to
make the slight effort necessary to ac-
complish so desirable an end. Our
love Of ease. our selfshness, dulls our
perception. II we could only get on
the outside Of ourselves--that is think
more of pleasing Others and less Of
self,indalgence - we would know
the value Of the small cour.
tesies Of life. Occasional absences
from home influences, contact with
the outer world would give us better
conception of what we owe to Others
in the way Of gentle amenities Of life.
On the other hand, a too protracted
mingling in and with the multitudes
that jostle and crowd the thorough.
fares Of the world. will also deaden the
sensibilities, render us Jlase and care
less Of the comfort or pleasures Of
others, unless, indeed, they be of our
immediate friends. The middle route
is the surest in which to meet our OBJ
legations.

The loss Of the Presidency in 1877
was in no wise the fault Of Mr.. Tilden.
As a candidate he had done more than
commonly falls to the lot OF a can
didate. lie had vindicated all that
had been promised in his name, and
had won his party lis first national
triumph in twenty years. IL is not
the business Of candidates to count the
votes cast for them, to sum up the re.
turns, to declare the result Of the cleo.
ton, and To seat themselves in Office.
With respect To Presidential elections,
the post-electorial duties are lodged
with Congress. Nevertheless, Mr..
Tilden prepared plan Of procedure,
sustained by constitutional precedents,
which was submitted to the House by
the Chairman Of its judiciary Com.
mittee, Proctor Knott, who made a
very able speech upouit Mr.. Tilden
contributed to this plan a magazine
Of material to support a peaceful con-
battle in the House; and he
held himself ready to carry out at
the risk of his life whatever resolu-
ton his party friends in Chicago
should come to. Mr.. Tllden's plan,
Mr.. Knots report, was set aside in
favor of the Electoral Tribunal bill,
Matched in the secrecy Of a committee
room, and precipitated upon Congress
and rushed through the two Houses
as il it were an egg in danger Of rot
ting by exposure to the air. This
took the whole case out Of Mr.. Til
denis hands, and those who thus be
trayed him have ever since and who
are now doing their best to deiame
and degrade him.-[Tilden Exchange.

Their patronage comes, not from any
desire to assist their respective papers,
but from business men who find il

At the paper mills of Crane Bros.
Coltsville, Mass, large quantities of
bank note paper are made for the Gov
eminent. The strictest attention as
to quality is observed. a spot or speck
no larger than pin-head being sufii-
cient to condemn a sheet, and the EN-
ployes arriving aud departing are
carefully watched. Armed guards
patrol the premises and grounds day
and night, and no approach to them
is permitted. Twenty-tour women
were sent from the Treasury Depart
ment as counters and examiners, and
are each able to count 10000 sheets
daily. The precaution is necessary to
prevent duplication of sheets for dis
honest purposes.

A madrid musician, offended by a
a fellow-pianist, challenged him to
play the piano with him until either
of them should be compelled by fla
tigue to desist. The duel lasted forty
eight hours without either antagonist
restingor taking the slightest nourish-
ment. One of them played, among
other pieces, the "SIiserere," from
Tfavatore, over one hundred and fifty
times, and was beginning it again,
when he fell dead from exhaustion.
The other is ON the verge of lunacy.
