Teach Them TO be Polite.

Train your children to be polite
at home, and you will never have
cause to blush at their rudeness
abroad. The rOsy-cheeked boy and
girl and the strong and vigorous
young man who sit in their cOmfor-
table seats in crowded cars, while
gray-headed grandfathers and
grandmothers tug at the straps, are
poor commentaries on home train
ing. Nothing is cheaper than pO-
likeness, and nothing pays better.
1t should not be taught because it
pays. but from principle. The
young man who is negligent of his
mother and sister at home, or the
sister who is selfish and unthought-
full, will be no blessing to any other
home into which they are engraft-
ed, until ''they unle IN what they
have learned amiss." This is often
difficult and annoying, and rObs
life of its sweetest hours and its
richest gifts. Train your children
in politeness and unselfishnesS in
all little things, and the greater
will come without an effOrt.-Lnter
Ocean.

GrOg in the English Navy.

From time immemorial it has
been a custom in the English Navy
to serve a daily ration of grog, and,
in stormy weather, after freezing
tOpsails," it used to be the fashion
to double the quantity. 1t was
this delightful break in the monot-
nny of a sea life that furnished the
basis for most of the songs of Dib-
din, But the reforming hand has
struck, down upon poor Jack, The
temperance societies in England
have been deputationizing and Pc
titioning the admiralty Board,
until atlast that body, in a moment
of virtue, has decided that sailors
under twenty shall have nc grog /;
those over twenty may have it if
they wish, or take cut its equiva-
lent in money, and be served in
stead with chocolate, prepared so
that 1t can be dissolved in water.
One can imagine the look of dis
dain with which the old grOg-
drinking British tar would look up
on the mixture of chocolate. 1t is
certainly a somewhat singular
drink to offer to a sailor, and one
can not help wondering why tea or
coffee was not substituted. How
ever, such as it is, the men in the
British Navy viii do well to accus-
tom themselves to it, for the entire
abolition of grog is now only a
question of time, and a short time
ct that.-RQStOn Herald.

TO Death.
Keokuk uowa) Gate CITY.

About 8 O'Clock last night the
family of John J. Rail, living two
miles east of this city, was thrown
into intense excitement and despair
by the sudden death of an only
daughter, Miss Minnie Rail, Is
years of age. The young lady was
in the parlOr at the time in compa-
ny with Charles Gray, her affiancee.
1t seems from the statement of Mr..
Gray, which was given with bro
ken stsbs and tears, that the two
were seated on a lounge and he was
urging her to name an early day
for their wedding. The girl was
coy and bashful and hesitated
about it. But the lover was inn
Fortunate and sought in every way
to induce u compliance with his
wishes. At last she consented,
saying: II will marry you in
April" In the excitement and
joy of the moment Mr.. Gray threw
his arms around her waist and
drew her TO him with a quick, pas
siOuate embrace. He was not con-
sciOus of exerting unusual strength
and does not believe that he did.
0aA NAtC XII gave q SnOIls SlldID
scream, and exclaiming, "OhI
Charley, Pm gOUe!" fell dead in
his arms, her head resting on his
shoulder. His frantic cries alarmed
the house, who came rushing into
the Don to find the pitiful sight
of the dead girl laying pale and
inanimate in her lovers arms. A
messenger was dispatched pOsthaste
for DIR. Hale, who arrived within
an hour. But nothing could be
done. The young lady was beyond
all human aid. lit is the opinion of
the physician that heart disease
was the immediate cause of the
girls death. She was trail and del
icate and had long complained of
trouble with her heart. The eX-
element incident to her conversa-
ton with her lover had probably
superinduced the attack which led
to her premature death. Naturally
the family are overwhelmed with
grief and young Gray is almost be-
side himself with horror and des-
pair. Miss Minnie was a very
handsome young lady and was
well known in the society circles of
this city. She was extremely del
cate and possessed a slender frame
which succumbed to the slightest
attacks of ill-health.

WE clip the following remarks
about the tobacco market, from
Sawyer, Wallace & Co.'S circular of
April l.:
European markets all dull and de-
spOndent. The western markets are
all at work again. A quIeter tone
has generally prevailed, and prices
are somewhat easier. Dark Export
Leaf is still however, comparative
ly above u quotations. We saw
several samples yesterday which
would about lose all expenses be-
tween the markets. This is not en-
cOuraging, and the feeling among
our factors regarding the future, is
far from hopeful. While thankful
at the diminution in stocks, they
are aware that the Reggie shipments,
that have principally caused such
diminutiOn, are nearly at an end till
new contracts are awarded. II is
the general idea that the next con-
tracts will call for smaller quanti-
ties than did the last, while the OPP
en- markets of Europe promise to be
miserable customers this year. On
the other hand, receipts continue
Unexpectedly large, and short crop
estimates are generally abandoned ;
while the universal testimony about
the planting is that, weather per-
hitting, it will be a large one.

Mr.. VENNoR, the Canadian
weather prophet, makes these pre-

a sharp frost in the beginning of
April, with 8 snowfall on the 4th or
9th, but the spring will open favor

The Boston Herald prints the fol-
lowing strange story from a CORES
pondent at Dover, n. H., and it is
given for what it is worth. The
writer vOuches for its tFuthfulness 4:
Ten years ago two persons were
united in marriage by a Congrega-
tional clergyman of this state. The
ceremony was performed in a small
town not many miles from this city.
They lived together as husband and
wife for more than nine years, hav-
ing resided In several different
places, a part OF the time in this
place. A few months ago the wife
petjtioned for a divorce on the
ground that her husband was q
woman. On examination it was
found to be as she had said. That
she dressed ia female apparel when
she first became acquainted with
her, but told her she was a man, 1t
was proved that she was the di-
vOrced wife of q merchant of New
York, and had one child.
