They Now Love One Another.

Considering the circumstances that
the -adherents of Mr.. Conkling did their
level best to prevent the election OF
Messrs. Miller and Lapham until that
result became inevitable, the claim that
the new Senators are after all very good
Stalwarts, is an illustration of unusual
ingenuity in finding consolation in SEEM
ing disappointment. The moral of it is
the converse of that of the fable of the
Fox and the Grapes.-Philadelphio Re

The opinion seems to prevail at the Interior
Department that the murderers of Thomas 4.
Pugh were not Indians, but Mexicans. The

but their attitude indicates very clearly that
they are perfectly willing that the "good In

True POliteneSS.

civil rs wrought by want of thought,
as we'll as by want of heart" wrote
Thomas Hood. Well, life is thing to
be lived carefully, day by day, realizing
that it comes but once. There will
never be too much thought for others
or too little living in self. The courte-
sy of Gen. Stonewall jackson, who
never entered the room of his wife
without knocking, was the key to a
polished and beautiful character. True
politeness is tender thoughtfulness of
others. What wonder that the Savior
was called by old Thomas Dekher, who
lived in 1641, "The first true gentleman
that ever breathed."
