POliteness OF the Heart.

as much a nineteenth-century man as
any; but don't repudiate all in the past.
There were both good and charming
things in it. and / would fain steal some
of its graces to adorn our modern life.
France will not be quite herself until she
shall have allied the manner of the old

the outcome of true politeness he notes
in the behavior of little boy: lone
day when he was only five, his mother
gave him penny to carry to an old
infirm beggar whom they met on the
road. The child took the coin, and as
he dropped it into the outstretched hand
he raised his cap. Thanks to him, we
can complete the thought of Vauven
argues and say: "Politeness is like
great thoughts it comes from the heart.

Negro AristOcrats.

In ''study of an old Southern Dor
ough" in the atlantic Monthly we find
the following: SIN the newer towns and
the larger cities the negroes have by this
time forgotten their old masters and their
old homes, or do not care for them. But
in an old borough there are always some
who have passed their whole lives there.
There they were slaves, and there they
have lived since their emancipation.
Their old masters they always address as
odd maser' and his sons as Mars James.
or Mars Thomas, or whatever their
Christian name may be. At their old
home they feel they enjoy no slight priv
ilege, and even that they have sort of
right to see that everything about the
household goes on well. These old ne
groes have sort of contempt for those
who have no such old attachment. 1t is
q common phrase among them, in speak
ing of negro who did not belong to an
aristocratic family, dat niger amt got
no menners, neber had no raisin'-poor
folks niger Sometimes these old ne
gro men preserve the lordly manner of
their masters. Their negro dialect does
not seem to detract from their gentility,
and they are noticeable as men of par
ticularly fine manners.
ga Virginia lady in Louisville had
employed genteel old negro man to
nurse her son, who was suffering with q
broken limb. She noticed at once the
dignified bearing of the negro; and one
day she asked him: Uncle Ned where
were you reared {?

polite bow.

tinued.

One afternoon, during voyage on q
sailing vessel bound to West Indian
port, while the ship was making some
four or five miles IN hour, q coryphene
was observed gamboling under the bows,
going ahead little, as il to show its
superior speed, and then returning to its
frolics. While the sailors were fastening
the harpoon to a line the coryphene
sighted n fying-fish. At once it stiffened
itself; its whole body quiyered as if
with excitement; its tail was agitated
from one side to another, and it started
in pursuit, bounding over the surface of
the sea, with leaps of some fifteen or
twenty feet. Although stern chase is
held to be very long one, this lasted
less than minute; one of the leaps
brought the coryphene right under the
terrified flying fish, which seemed to fall
into its enemy's jaws. The latter re-
turned to its playground under the
bows, and was harpooned, brought on
board, and cut up within two minutes
after its meal. The flying fish was taken
out whole, uninjured. The coryphene
is the beautifully colored fish noted for
the shifting and varieties of its tints
when expiring. III Is commonly out er-
roneously called dolphin, as i'll the
well-known verse: 'The dying dolphins
changing hues.' Now in regard to the
flying fish, have watched them on
many voyages, and can confirm the
observers who describe its motion rs
leap, not an act of flying. 1t springs
ont of the water, gradually rising to the
middle of its course, then falling, de-
scribing parabola just as an arrow
does in its flight. have repeatedly seen
them change direction during the leap,
making DETECTION of about half an an
gle, never more. But L cannot agree
with Mr.. Whitman, who estimates the
length of their leap or jump to be eight
hundred or even twelve hundred feet. L
opine that about two hundred feet is
pretty big jump for one of these fishes,
and instead of forty seconds, L calculate
the time occupied in long leap at ff-
teen seconds; which gives velocity of
nine miles and fraction per hour

The Two Phases OF woman.

Nothing can be more touching than
to behold soft and tender female, who
had been all weakness and dependence,
and alive to every trivial roughness,
while treading the prosperous paths OF
life, suddenly rising in mental force to
be the comforter and supporter of her
husband under misfortune, and abiding,
with unshrinking firmness, the bitterest
adversely. As the vine which has long
twined its graceful foliage about the
oak, and been lifted by it into sunshine,
will, when the hardy plant is rifted by
the thunderbolt, cling round it with its
carefsing tendrils and bind up its shat
tered boughs, 80 is it beautifully ordered
by Providence that woman, who is the
mere dependent and ornament of man
in his happier hours, should be his stay
and solace when smitten with sudden
calamity; winding herself into the rug
ged recesses of his nature, tenderly sup
porting the dropping head and binding
up the broken heart.

What Wives Do.

This is the way Fannie Field in the
Prairie Farmer answers the question,
" Are wives supported ?"
"Who has cooked your meals, made,
washed and mended your clothes all
these years? Who made the butter and
cheese that you sold and pocketed the
money for? Who took care of your
children, nursed you when you were
sick, and bore with your outrageous
fault-fnding when things didn't go to
suit you? Who patched, and darned,
and contrived, and saved, and made
every dollar do the work of three ? And
what has she had to pay her for all this :?
Just. her board and clothes as she went
along, and if you weie to die tomorrow
all that she could claim of the property
that she worked SO hard to help you
save would be the use of one-third of
the real estate and i'll nine cases of ten
that is literally worse than nothing. III
it had not been for your wife's help,
would you have been worth SO much
to-day as you are now? III you had
been obliged to hire woman to do the
work that your wife has done for her
board and clothes, do you imagine that
you could have done much more than
make both ends meet ?"

DIR. CARPENTER, the eminent physi-
ologist, has written long and interest
ing article for the London Times on the
subject of Vaccination and Small
Pox." The benefits of vaccination are,
to his mind, indisputable. That they
have ever been called into question is
due to three causes first, the entire ig-
norance of the present generation, save
the few who have specially studied the
medical history of the last century, to
the ravages of smallpox before the in
PRODUCTION of vaccination by Jenner at
the beginning of the present /; second,
the exaggerated claim to complete pro
lection, originally advanced by the adj
vocates of vaccination and, third, the
strangely illogical idea by which the
Observation-Disclosures of the present time
are possessed. that what is not complete
protection is no protection at all. AS to
the first point, DIR. Carpenter remarks
that in the last century it was quite as
exceptional for any one to reach middle
age without having been the subject of
small. pox as it is now to pass through
childhood without having the measles.
Communities that had long been ex-
empted from its attacks were fearfully
ravagedwhen it did appear among them.
More than one-fourth the entire popula-
ton of Ireland was carried off by small
pox in 1870. and m any tribes of Ameri-
can Indians, as all readers of history
know, were well-nigh exterminated by
the disease on its first introduction
among them. AS to the early belief that
one vaccination was complete protec-
ton, that has been shattered and aban-
doned by the medical fraternity within
the memory of men now living. DIR.
Carpenter relates his own experience in
this connection. He was vaccinated in
childhood, and supposed himself to be
safe from infection. Bnt after he began
to practice medicine he accidentally
vaccinated himself, and found to his sur
prise that it "took" vigorously. If he
had been exposed he might easily have
taken smallpox and died from the eff
fects. Finally, there are undoubted
cases of smallpox occurring twice in the
same person, and once after vaccina-
ton. But these exceptions prove moth
ing. The experience of mankind Is
overwhelming in favor of vaccination,
and it would be idle to deny that it has
in effect abolished the terrors of the
dreaded disease.

1t so happened that we reached La
Venta on a festive occasion. A fandango
was in full blast but q short distance
from our quarters, and large number
of strange Indians from the surrounding
country were in the village. Our advent
had caused temporary suspension OF
the festivities, but the people soon be-
gan to drift that way again, and by the
time we had finished our supper the
music of harp and bandoIon could be
heard, and the dance was once more In
progress Alexandra told us that the
village would probably grow lively to-
ward midnight as the dance continued,
for the Indians were drinking good
deal of mescat, and many of them were
still coming in from the country. He
informed me that the Alcalde OF the
town had already hidden himself, as Is
the custom on such occasions, and Tat
we must be on our guard, for the Indians
were bad men when drunk, and inclined
to dislike strangers. We were all armed
to the teeth, however, and felt no ap-
prehensions. After supper, Marion and
I sailed out into the dark street, and,
following the sound of the music, soon
found ourselves in the midst of the
crowd of wild, half-naked jewellers. The
dancing was carried on under the shed
which was lit up by pine-knots, throwing
out wierd glare over the dusky crowd.
A number of men and women would step
into the open space and shuttle slowly
around, each one apparently on his own
responsibility, and with no regard to
figure. In the meantime those who
were not dancing would squat in cir
Gle around the open space, and sing
monotonously in time with the music of
the instruments. The dancers would
finally retire, and others take their places,
the process being repeated with little or
no variations. But it was in the outer
rim of the circle that the real fun seemed
to be going on. Little groups were
gathered here and there, drinking, sing
ing and carousing, and, as we left the
crowd and picked our way back to our
lodgings, we noticed one of our men,
Ponciano by name, ogling dusky
maiden, and treating, her to drink OF

A Paris Fancy.

A peasant ball is one of the fancies Of
fashionable Paris. No expense is spared
to give it the proper rustic coloring. All
the elegant Partisan furniture is cleared
away to give place to deal benches,
three-legged stools, and the like; the
walls are hung with evergreen garlands
and streamers, and in the center the
hostess, in all her village bravery, stands
receiving her guests. supported by a
knot of country officials-the Mayor
and Municipal Council Every thing is
in keeping; even the beer and cider
which hide the champagne on the rustic
refreshment stall, and the accessories of
the inevitable cotillion. After the dance
there is supper, at which distinguished
poets, artists, dramatists, and civilians
are gathered together, and make brief
and funny speeches. The health of the
hostess is duly proposed, and she returns
thanks in the traditional style.

WORK on the tunnel between England
and France progresses favorably at the
rate of about twenty five feet per day of
ten hours, and has already been carried
to distance of above 800 yards. This
is in the shape of driftway of about
seven feet in diameter, opening near the
mouth of the tunnel on the west side of
Abbott's Cliff. Commencing here, it
runs in line parallel with the line of
railway and follows the natural dip of
the strata. The idea is to continue in
this way until depth of some 200 feet
below the bed of the channel is reached.
1t is then confidently hoped by geolo-
gists that the character of the geological
formations will admit OF the engineering
operations being advanced in direct
line or level, 80 as to allow of a cores
ponding rise on the other side of the
channel.
