The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1881-08-26
Easy to BE Cynical.

It is such an easy thing to be cynical,
we wonder that any sensible or ambi-
tious man should choose a manifestly
easy road to cheap distinction. Any
fool cam be cynic. And great many
fools are cynics. Not that they make the
best, which are the worst cynics, but
they do very we'll /; well enough to make
everybody in their company decidedly
uncomfortable, which appears TO be the
great Aim of the cynic's life. When a
man does a good deed, you simply sup
ply n base motive for it. Attribute his
benevolence to sel6shness, his piety to
hypocrisy, his sociability to political
motives, lis pubic spirit to DEERE for
notoriety. Deny the very existence of
purely good, unselfsh motives to any
man other than yourself, and you have
started on the road to develop into o
good cynic. Huntington Ha,ckeye.

Value OF Ammonia.

Ammonia will remove finger marks
from paint, where there would other
wise have to be a good deal of scrubbine
with soap, which takes the paint off too.
Ammonia is useful to wash all the
brushes that are used in household.
Nothing will cleanse greasy sinks, pans
or scrubbing brushes 80 well. A tea
spoonful in basin of warm water will
make hair brushes beautifully white.
Take care not t. let the back OF brushes
dip below the surface; rinse them with
clear, warm water, and put them in sun
ny window to dry. A small bottle of
ammonia is also useful for the wardrobe.
Keep a little sponge with it, and when
wooden dresss are stained or soiled
they are easily cleaned by passing
little diluted ammonia over the spots.
Fold towel, and place it under the
spotted or soiled portion while you are
cleaning the dress.

Good Manners.

1t is mistake to regard manners a.
something external or distinct from the
nature, to be put on or taken off at will.
The bearing 20 which we instinctly ac-
cord respect is the outward blossoming
OF an inward growth, and bears the same
relation to character that the flower does
Ia the plant, not absolutely necessary to
Its existence, but graceful expression
ofinternal qualities which gi~e it strength
and vigor.
Some foreigner once said of Abraham
Lincoln that he was a grand gentleman
III Disguise
In him the outward expression, though
hrremoved from aChesterfeldian polish,
was still 30 true to qualities to which the
world accords its highest respect that il
became II good manner of its own, and
thus proved the truth of the assertion In
regard to growth.
hne manner presupposes a certain
force of character and frmness of pur-
pose which invest the owner with COM
posurc and self respect. A certain
equipoise which enables him to possess
his soul III peace, where mind that Is
not 80 ballasted goes eareering about to
every breeze, a source of discomfort to
itself and all who behold It. 1t also
presupposes kind heart and quick
sympathy for others. There are native
characteristics wanting which n smooth
exterior is of little real value. Shall we
not then cultivate good manners? May
we not acquire gentle courteous 6e-
meanor to which we may not have been
born? Most assuredly, but unless we
conform to the law of development just
expressed, We shnll achieve no success
worthy of the name. Let us suppose
harsh vindictive nature assuming the
gentle manner OF one who feels and lives
unselfshly.
in moment of forgetfulness, and
such moments will come, the mask drops
Oft and discloses the real man that lives
behind it For those who behold the
.sclosure there is no possibility of for
getfulness, and for them the mask will
not only fail to do its work, but will pro-
duce sense of incongruity that will
give absolute discomfort Duplicity
never succeeds to any great extent. A
greater amount Of thought and force
must be gwen than with higher motive
would be necessary to insure the genuine
feeling whose outward expression we
desire. Ii we feel kindly we shall act
kindly.

A True Fish story.

A country hotels guest went forth TO
fish. He splashed himself with brook
mud, tore his clothing and hair III I'M
derbrush, and at the close looked like a
volunteer Mt the close of Bull Run. AT
night he strobe up to the hotel and ex-
hibited thirteen trout to the veranda's
occupants, and related how easy the
trout came to grief, how he climbed
fourteen trees to unhitch the line, and
how inferior the suit was compared
with what he usually accomplished.
At that moment boy came up, well
out of breath, and exclaimed mis-
ter, ma says / can't sell yer them fish ;
they's promised TO another man here's
yer money"

1 \ NeishDoring Republic ~ which We
Know Little.
Mexico IL Federal republic, com
prising twenty seven States, one Terri
tory and one Federal district, that OF the
capital. The total area is TAI, 1913 square
mixes, with a population of 10000, OOt
This population is classified, each racs
and mixed grade having its own separ
rate name and special status. The pure
races are olassed under three Spanish
names, as white. Indian and negro. The
various race mixtures furnish the Next
cans with twenty-one separately named
grades. There are about 80, 900 foreign
whites, 1000, 900 native whites or Gre
oles, 8, 200, 600 Indians, and the balance
are mixed races, with a few pure ne
groes. One-tenth of the Mexican nation,
occupying chiefly the table lands, and
residing mostly IN the cities, own nearly
oil the developed mines, lands ana other
property. The remaining nine-tenths
are the laboring Glasses.
With the most favorable results il
must be years before the railroad COM
panies shall reap their full reward, yet
it is not impossible if no financial de-
preston shall interfere, and provided
the Mexican Government proves able to
meet it's subsidy promises, that such
roads as shall be economically built and
honestly managed may at least pay ex
penses from the beginning. In this con.
nection is worth noting the population
of the leading cities to be connected by
each road.

Mexico is generally estimated at greater
than that of any other country. Since
the Spanish conquest, 300 years ago, the
only large Mexican exports have been
gold and silver. About 5000 mines
have been developed, and some that
were worked by the Aztecs, before the
days of Cortez, are still yielding rich re-
turns to their English and German own
ers. Rich mines exist throughout nearly
the entire length of the country, and
quite two-thirds of its breadth among
the CordiIlera valleys, table-lands and
spurs or ridges. In fact, it Is the mines
that have built the ancient inland cities
