London FOgs.

Fifty years ago, when we first became
acquainted with them, London fogs were
bad enough; but they were on a COM
paratively limited scale. They have
since attained marvelously grand dimen-
sions and intensity, according to the in
crease of houses and population. What
we ordinarily call London, but is more
directly styled the Metropolis, has spread
and spread till it covers space Of about
100 square miles. In the winter months
every house has coal fire, some of them
two, three, or four, and there are numer-
GUS manufactures and pubic works with
furnaces and tall chimneys, all of which
less or more emit quantities of smoke.
This smoke mingles with what fog there
happens to be. and produces curious
mixture, that is now only beginning to
be rightly understood. Like every other
mist, the fog which rises and is waited
along the valley of the Thames is COM
posed of small particles of water that
ought properly to be dissipated by the
suns heat. Only with difficulty is the
sun able to undertake the duty. The
smoke poured out from hundreds of
thousands of chimneys does not merely
mix with the fog; it coats each watery
particle with tarry, oily film, giving it
an unnatural character, and preserving
it, so to speak, from immediate disper-
sion. A genuine London fog, therefore,
is something more than fog. 1t is a
prodigiously large volume OF mist, held
in kind of thralldom by oleagmous in
gradients foated from the tops OF Chin
neys. When we say ,leaginous, we, for
convenience, take the readiest word to
express condition that would involve
some chemical explanations, which need
not be gone into. Every one will un.
derstand that the smoke from the coal
fires somehow unites inextricably with
the particles of mist, and keeps the
whole thing lowering in dense cloud
over the metropolis. Not only 80; the
dingy cloud darkens and pollutes the
air, fills the streets, and to certain ex-
tent the houses and lungs of the inhab-
,tants. On such occasions the darkness
even at noon is so great that dwellings
and places of business have to be 1t
with gas as at night. AS the London
gas Is more remarkable for its volume
than its purity, it aids in deteriorating
the atmosphere during fogs, already sui
ficiently tainted with the exhalatiOns Of
domestic sewage. at times it is as DIFF
icult to get breath of fresh air as it is
to procure a good drink of palatable
water.-CtGDlbers' Journal.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-How nice it would be if
some angel would take the trouble to instruct
me what to write about market like ours to-
day. A poor mortal, such as l am, cannot
possibly go on in inventing new stories and
phrases when there is from day 10 day but the
same song of scalp, scalper, scalped! Why,
man, it is just as unreasonable to expect me to
do it as il would be to want me to warm q
house up when you have taken ali the windows
and doors out No cables to-day, and a strong
opening but little doing. Wheat sold at
S100h. for March, thenssettled down to 81 and
during most of the session seemed determined
not to waver from that price, but near the
close private cables were reported dull and
lower, which brought out sellers enough to
break the price to 99H.
Corn and oats were nothing but an echo
OF wheat and even provisions did not hold
their own. Very few people have got a de-
cided opinion now. Most of our traders turn
from the bull side to the bear side or vice versa
for every decline or improvement of cent in
price, and before the two sides have each got
a number of staunch supporters there connot
be any proper fight.

The Secret of Good Manners.

The secret of good manners is to for
get ones own self altogether. The peo-
pie OF really fine breeding are the ones
who never think of themselves, but only
of the pleasure they can give to others.
No adornment of beauty, or learning, or
accomplishments goes SO far in its
power to attract as the one gift of SYM
pathy.
In all French history no woman had
a stronger fascination for whoever came
within herreach than Madame Recamier.
She was called beautiful but her por-
traits prove that her beauty was not to
be compared with that of many less
charming women. And when every at
traction of person had long since passed
away, and she was an old, old woman.
her sway over the hearts of others was
as powerful as ever. What was her Sc
cret?
1t was this one thing solely-her gen.
uine and unaffected interest in the good
and i'll fortunes of her friends. Authors
came to her and read her their books :;
painters came to her with their pictures !;
statesmen with their projects. She,
herself, wrote no books, painted no
pictures, had no projects. She was
sweet, simply and unconsciously, as a
rose is sweet. She really cared for the
happiness and success of others, and
they felt the commences of her sympa-
thy. It surrounded her with an immor-
tai charm.
Let any girl try Madame Recamier's
experiment. Let her go into society
thinking nothing Of the admiration she
may win but everything of the happi-
ness she can confer. It matters little
whether her face is beautiful, or her
toilette costly. Before the end of three
months she will be happy girl herself ;
for the world likes sunshine and sympa-
thy, and turns to them as the flowers
bask in the sun of June.
