Table Etiquette,

If by writing this We can induce
one man who now wipes his hand on
the table cloth to come up and take
higher ground and wipe them on his
pants, we shall feel amply repaid.
If you cannot accept an Invitation to

the back of a pool check with a blue
pencil. This is now regarded as rico
chet.
a simple note to your host informing
him that your washerwoman refuses
to relent is sufficient.
On seating yourself at the tablo draw
off your gloves and put them in your
lap uuder your napkin. Do not put
them in your lap under your napkin.
Do not put them in the gravy, as it
would ruin the gloves and cast a gloom
over the gravy. If you have just
cleaned your gloves with benzine you
might leave them out in the front
yard.
Stones in cherries or other fruit,
should not be placed upon the table
cloth, but slid quietly and unostenta-
tiously into the pocket of your neigh
Dor or noiaelessly tossed under the ta.
bic.
Ladies should take but one glass Of
wine at dinner. Otherwise, there
might be difficulty in steering the male
portion of the procession home.
Do not make remarks about the

Troy lasted over a decade. she must
have been quite elderly when the III

husband, who is reported to have re-
eecived her with unquestiOning love
and gratitude. Pericles welded As
pasta when she was thirty years or
more, held an uadiminished reputa-
ton for beauty. Cleopatra was over

death, thirty years after. Lewis was
thirty-three when she won the heart
of Augustus, over whom she maintain

then Duke of Orleans and hall her age,
became attached to her, and she was
held as the most beautiful woman in

of the day, was the idol of three gen

Help the Orphan.

The Hon. A. II. Stephens, Of Geor-
gia, in an address before a meeting at
Alexandria, some years since, for the
benefit of the orphan asylum Of that
city. related this incident:
A poor little boy, one cold night,
with no home or roof to shelter his
head, no paternal or maternal guar
dian or guide to protect or direct him
on his way, reached. at nightfull, the
house ofa rich planter, who teok Kim
in, fed and lodged him, AMI sent him
ON his way next day with a friendly
blessing. Those kind attentions cheer
ed the heart of that boy, and inspired
him with fresh courage to battle with
the obstacles Of life. Years rolled
round. Providence led him on, and
he had reached the legal profession;
his former kind host had died; and
the cormorants that prey on the sub
stance left by man had formed con-
spiracy to get from the widow her
estates.
She sent for the nearest counsel "a
commit her cause to his hands; and
that counsel proved to be the orphan
boy, years before welcome, entertain
ed and so kindly treated by the de
ceased husband. The stimulus Of !
warm and tenacious gratitude wal
now added to the ordinary motive con
-nected with the legal profession.
He undertook the cause for the widow
with a VIII and determination not ca
SLY to be resisted; he gained it; tn

a Vision BY the sea

A friend Of mine, who has returned
from accompanying his wife t. a
French watering place, has revealed
to me secrets which are calculated to
destroy the illusions appertaining to
the nymphs that disPort in French

a bathing dress in Paris. There he
discovered that beneath the tight fit
ting Jersey, which is now the fashion
able dress for the water, STAYS are
worn, and many other appliances to
aid in fashioning a beanteous figure.
I remember going with a lady to battle
at one of these French watering pla-
ces. We both emerged from eur re-
spective machines. Near me 7 saw. a
beauteOus vision. Her hair was flow
ing round her shoulders, her eyes glis
tened, her cheekswere bright with COL

beautiful figure. Soon wave came,

a haggard female; her form was angu-

her cheeks hollow; wisp of hair not
larger than a rats tail was hanging

PEN PICTURES OR VIR-

The fight in Virginia Is ostensi

in reality the old fight that has
been going on since 1865. Re
spectabi1ity and property fight on
one side. Rag tag and bobtail
on the other. The Readj juster is
the indigenous carpetbaggar.
There is no rubbing this out. But
both sides talk about thedebt, and
though the style of talk is heated.
it is at the same time discreet.

fact.
