Department of Etiquette.

1t is breach of etiquette for q hus-
band or wife to speak of each other by
their initial letter. When you hear a
lady saying, "B., gave me this" or a
gentleman saying, 81 always refer such
matters to Mrs. p" you may rest as
sured, whatever their social station,
they are low-bred.
"Civility," says Lord Chesterfield,
sis particularly due to all women; and
remember that no provocation whatso
ever can Justify any man in not being
civil to every woman and the greatest
man would justly be reckoned brute
if he were not civil to the meanest wo
man. 1t is due to their sex, and is the
only protection they have against the
superior strength of ours"
Too great familiarity towards new
acquaintance is a breach of etiquette
You are less likely to offend by being
too ceremOnious.
Tonotice, by look Or word, any de
formity, any scar or misfortune to the
face or figure of friend, is not only {
breach of etiquette of the grossest kind
but is a want of humanity and gooC
feeling as well.

above those things so petty and con-

Tilden. His wrongs were before the
world and their enormity made them
press against the minds of every honest
citizen in the land. They needed no
word from him.
His name is synonym of courage
and patriotism. His services to his

His purity of character and public SER

The people do not want Tilden. They

How many times a child has spoken
pointed words for Temperance, when
most they were needed The Cedar
Rapids Republican gives this interest
ing recital:
A gentleman of this city, who for years has
been more or less under the influence Of
liquor, and whose red nose and bloated fig
ure stamped him as an inebriate, had gone
home to his wife and children in his usual
condition. He was not unkind in act or in
words. 1t was his delight to play at games
with his little ones, as he was able, and to
entertain them with wonderful stories. On
this occasion the family were all together in
the sitting room, and the usual games hav-
ing been played, little Freddie, a lad about
six years Of age, had climbed upon his IA
theirs knee, and was asking him all sorts of
boyiSh questions. He talked as a child will
of what he would do when he was "big
man W asked II he would be like papa then;
and finally after long and serious look in
TO his fathers face, with every shade Of
childish curiosity in voice and glance, put
to him this bewildering query:
"Papa, when grow up to be man, will
my nose be red like yours, and nv face all
grow redder than twas wont to beY Why
should his arms so quickly draw that boy
to his hreast9 And why should tears flow
and voice tremble rs he replied in words and
tone that made mothers heart glad;
"No, Freddie please God, you won't be
like me when you get to be a man; and nei-
Their will your father, my boy, for from this
hour he will lead sober life"
"Be like himw He had not thought OF
that before, and the bare possibility stagger-
ed him. All the love Of his fathers heart
cried out against such a fate. That boy I!
His pride going about with bloated face
and poisoned breathi No, no he was not
prepared for thatl Never before had he
seen his own looks so clearly they were re-
fected in the boy's-the boy grown to man
hood and honor, affection, aad reason came
to the rescue. The child had preached q
sermon no orator could deliver, and inno-
eence and ignorance had accomplished what
learning and logic had aiped at in vain.
Those words went home"

HE ENDS HIS EARTHLY TROUBLES BY
TAKING A DOSE OF LAUDANUM.
A dispatch from Atlantic City, New
Jersey, yesterday, announced that early
in the morning George w. Hacker, a
Young man of Philadelphia, was found
dead in pavilion on the beach, having
committed suicide by taking laudanum.
Hacker recently worked at the Edge
moor Iron Works, near this city, and
domestic difficulties are said to have
been the reason of his suicide. About
a year ago he married young woman
with whom he lived only three months,
when they separated. Afterwards he
became enamored of a young lady In
Philadelphia, but as he could not marry
her on account of having a wife, he be-
came respondent and about two weeks
ago attempted to commit suicide by TAX
ing laudanum. He was discovered soon
after, and medical assistance being
promptly summonen he was revived.
He continued to make threats of destroy
Ing his life, and was therefore closely
watched, On Saturday he went to AL
lantic City, where, as above stated, he
found an opportunity of carrying out
his threat.

A PROMPT ACTION.
A YOUNG MAN SHOOTS A BURGLAR
WHO ENTERS HIS ROOM.


Last night about 10 O'Clock the
house of W. l.. G. Thomas, No 1917
E. Eighth street, was entered by a
burglar.
Mr.. Thomas and his family were
; away spending their vacation, but in
order that the house would not be
! entirely without protection, Mr..
Thomas induced his brother Frank
to sleep there at nights. II was
we'll that he did so as the sequel
will show.
About the time mentioned above
young man giving his name as
Charles Wilson, but who afterwards
stated that his right name was Fred
erick Creese, entered the house by
means of a cellar window. After
looking around the rooms on the
first floor, he ascended to the second
story, and entered the room where
Mr.. Thomas brother was sleeping.
He had hardly entered the room be-
fore he was confronted by the young
man, who held a revolver in his
hand, and the next moment it was
discharged.
After having discharged one cham
ber of the revolver, the young man
ran hastily down stairs and out the
front door, in search of officer Green
of the City Park. The officer heard
the report of the pistol and was on
his way to the house, when he was
met by Mr.. Thomas, who informed
him Of what had transpired. To-
gether they returned to the house
for the purpose Of making search,
but in the meantime the burglar had
fled, and they were, Of course, un-
able to find him.
About II o'clock as Samuel Buck,
special watchman at the residence of
J. Taylor Cause, was walking around
the grounds, he heard noise as of
some one groaning. He at once pro-
ceeded to ascertain the cause, and af-
ter short search found the wounded
burglar lying near hedge on Mr..
Gause's property. When asked as to
the cause of his moaning he stated
that he had been shot.
Mr.. Buck at once secured one of Mr..
Gause's horses and carriages, and
placing the man in the carriage, drove |
him to the City Hall. DR.. Ogle was
at once summoned and upon examina-
tion found that the ball had entered
the fleshy part of the left arm pit about
two inches above the nipple. He at
once probed for the ball some time,
moving the probe backward and for
ward, but was unable to find it. AS
the wounded man complained of pains
in the back it is thought that the ball |
had passed down behind the muscles |
of the back and lodged. 1t is not |
thought the wound will prove fatal.
The wounded man formerly resided |
in this city and is a painter by trade. |
For some time past he has been living
with his mother in Philadelphia.

CoLoNEL RALPH ROLLINS ENDS A

PENITENTIARY.

COLONEL RALPH ROLLINS ENDS A
NOTORIOUS CAREER IN THE EASTERN
PENITENTIARY.
Lewis l.. Clermont, who was better
known under the assumed name of Col
onel Ralph Rollins, ended his career of
crime at the Eastern renitentiary on
Saturday last. He was scarcely forty
years old, yet during his lifetime had
committed many desperate crimes. He
was known as confidence operator,
swlndler, forger, and bank robber, and
DUNG his imprisonment at Cherry Hill
had used every artiflce known to cri-
mlnals to escape from confinement.
he was the sou of Sheriff Clermont, of
Sci to county, Ohio,an started life with
a good education polished manners, and
The influence of his father to aid him.
yet he soon sank to the level of Grim
mai. lie served in the war and for his
skill with the pen was soon made a
oook-keeper in the QuartermasteI's
Department. After the close of the war
he became interested in cotton specula-
tion and succeeded in making 100000 on
cotton alleged to be In transit to New
York, after he had gained the confidence
OF brokers by honest dealing. His next
step was to open clearinghouse at St.
Louis, with branches at Chicago and San
Francisco. He managed business fairly
till an opportunity presented of realizing
$4,000 by forged check when he closed
business and went to Europe and the
Holy Land taking his wife with him. He
lived an extravagant life aboard, was
arrested by one Of Pinkerton's detectives
gained his freedom by a technicality of
the law and then went to South America.
He returned to this country in dis
guise and began operations in New
York as broker, and victimized Wall
street operators to the extent of $780,
900. His scheme of swindling Philadel-
phia brokers with raised certificates ofs
Reading stock failed. The scheme for
which he was convicted and sent to the
Eastern PeniteDtiary was for attempting
to rob the Cbambersburg Bank, with an
accompllce. He gained the goodwill
of the cashier, and when the latter went
TO the vaults after hours with $4,000
the men gave him to deposit, they
sprang upon him and took away large
sum of money from the vaults. They
were afterwards arrested. Rollins was
aided by his wife in his many attempts
to escape, and money by thousands OF
dollars was expended in bribing the
keepers. He died from Bright's disease
of the kidneys.

The reports from the New England
otates were encouraging. Mr.. Wilson,
or Maine, said that the canvass In that
State was progressing actively and Wig
orously. The party was well organiz zed
and enthusiastic. Before the Septem-
Der election meetings would be held in
every school district. The prospect of
carrying the State was fiattering.
Mr.. Sulloway reported that Hancock
and English campaign clubs were being
organized in every town and village in
New Hampshire, and more work was
being done than usual so early In the
canvass.
Mr.. B q Smalley, of Vermont gave a
cheering account OF the campaign In his
State. He said that the Demo Gratis were
alive and working with tremendous en-
ergy. The audiences at their meetings
were larger than had ever been seen In
that State. Men who have not hitherto
been active political workers are show-
ing great interest. They are attending
the meetings and offering their services
for campaign work. Mr.. Smalley be-
lieved that the Democratic vote at the
September election would be much lar
ger than 1t was in 1876.
