A Few Suggestions as TO Etiquette for the
Young.

Young children who have to wait till Older
people have eaten all there is in the house
should not open the dining-room door during
the meal and ask the guest if he is going Il
eat all daY. 1t makes the company feel il
at ease and lays up wrath in the parent.
heart.
Children should not appear dispIeased Will
the regular courses at dinner and then ill M
with pie. Eat the less expensive food first.
and then organize a panic in the preserves.
Do not close out che last Of your soup by
taking the plate in your mouth and pouring
the liquid down your childish neck. You
might spill it, and enlarge and distort the
mouth unnecessarily.
When asked what part Of the fowl Won
prefer do not say you will take the part that
goes over the fence last The remark is
very humorous, but the rising generation
ought to originate some new table Jokes
that will be worthy Of the age in which we
live.
Children should early learn the use of the
fork and how to handle it. This knowledge
can be acquired by allowing them to pry up
the carpet tacks with this instrument, and
other little exercises such as the parent mind
may suggest
The child should be taught at once not to
wave his bread around over the table in con-
versation, or fill his mouth with potatoes
and then converse in a rich tone of voice
with some one out in the yard. He might
get his dinner down his traches and cause
his parents great anxiety.
In picking up plate OF saucer filled with
vryfFh ,se 60, lrH,, l..
taught not to parboil his thumb in the con-
tents of his dish and to avoid swallowing
soup bones or other indigestible debris
Toothpicks are generality in the last course.
and children should not be allowed to pick
their teeth and kick the table through the
other exercises. While grace is being said
at table, children should know that 1t is a
breach of good breeding to smouge fruit
cake, Just because their parents heads are
bowed down and their attention for the mo-
ment turned in another direction. Children
ought not to be permitted to find fault with
the dinner or fool with the cat while eating,
boys should, before going to the table, emp
ty all the frogs and grasshoppers out of their
pockets, or those insects might crawl out
during the festivities and jump into the
gravy.
If fly wades into your jelly up to his
gambrels, do no mash him with your spoon
before all the guests, as death is at all times
depressing to those who are at dinner and
Tetards digestion. Take the fly out careful
ly with what naturally adheres to his person
and wipe him on the tablecloth. 1t will de-
mOnstrate your perfect command of your
self and afford amusement for the company.
Do not stand up in your chair and try TO
spear a roll with your fork. Say ''thank
you" and "much obliged" and "beg par
don" whenever you can work in these re-
marks, as it throws people off their guard
and gives you an opportunity to get in your
work in on the pastry and other bric-a- brsc
near you at the time.

EBENSBURG, PA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER H. 1882

Try as l would, 1 could not keep my eyes
from the wall. Did close them. the next
minute they would be again wide OPEN Did
! turn my head, 1 would be looking there
again almost before 1 knew it. What ex-
pected to see I hardly knew. Yet it came
at last.
Sudd enly upon the wall, where the light
from the flame shone the brightest, there ap-
peared the shadowy hand of a man clasplng
a long and deadly looking knife.
For moment my gaze was riveted upon it
that l could not turn my eyes but sound
in the adjoining room broke the spell
Starting hastily up upon my elbow, 1 peered
through the crack that was close to my head
and the sight beheld caused another thrill
similar to that which the shadowy hand had
given me. NY host, with long knife in his
hand, was approaching on tiptoe the door
which led to my room. It was the shadow
of his upifted hand that had seen.
That he had designs upon my life l could
not doubt, and thankful for the warning I
had received, l prepared to meet him
Noiselessly crept from the bed, and, with
my six shooter in my hand, stationed myself
at its foot. The door was noiselessly push
ed open, and the would-be murderer entered
the room as silently as a phantom, and ap-
preached the bedside. His arm with the
deadly knife grasped in his hand, was for
moment held above the bed, and then it de-
scended with a force that would have sent
it through the body of a man, had one been
lying there.
This was all I wanted. Surely it was evil
dence enough To justify me in what did
/ raised my arm and fired. With gToan the
villain fell forward upon the couch where
had lain hardly minute before. With my
finger still upon the trigger, should another
shot be needed, struck a match and lighted
the candle; then holding it out before me,
approached the bed. The villain lay mo-
tionless. Ny bullet had found way through
his heart.
You can imagine bow the rest of the night
passed to me. With the earliest dawn l
mounted my horse, and as good luck would
have it, rode directly towards Silby, where
arrived in a couple of hours. l was not
long in searching out the proper officers, to
whom l told my story. and little later l
guided them back to the cabin, where they
found all as / had stated it, and at once ex-
onerated me from blame i'm causing the viii
lain's death. Western Wdtchnan.

President Tyler had sister who was reck-

day. She WAS the namesake Of Patrick Hen
~ and the pet Of Thomas Jefferson, She
lived with her father, Gov. Tyler, at Green
way, in Charles City county, Va. One night,
while sleeping in a bed with a cousin, a
young woman OF her own age, she awoke
and saw her mother, who had been dead for
some months, sitting in the window seat II
was bright night in summer, and under the
window was the bed of a younger sister who
was an infant at the time Of her mothers
death. The apparitiOn leaned over the child
and gazed lntently on IL. Miss Tyler uemem-

the staircase, she saw her father standing be-

mind that she could hold the apparition by

A TREASURED LOCK OF HAIR.-Among
the dead after the engagements during the
late war, lay the outstretched form OF a
young man, of fair and intellectual features
He had been struck down by a ball in the
centre of his throat. The stranger gazing
for a moment at the inanimate body, so late
ly instinct with life, thought of the loved
ones vet to hear and mourn over their lost
one, 1t was strange impulse, perhaps. but
that stTanger-albeit an enemy few mo-
ments before-kneeled beside the dead, and
separating a lock from his beautiful but
disheveled hair, placed it carefully in his
pocket. The body afteTward proved to be
that Of young Preston of South Carolina
and the lock OF hair soon after the report OF
his death found its way to the hand of the
young lady at Providence, Rhode Island, to
whom he had been betrothed, as an invalu-
able souvenir.

For two years, perhaps, we
have had the richest, largest
mostvaried andmost exhaus-
tive collection of dress-goods
in Philadelphia. Before that,
we may have had the largest,
and even the most exhaus-
tive, but perhaps not the
richest. The slowest trade
to come to a new merchant
is the trade of luxury. 1t is
the slowest to change from
one to another. But it does
change.
We may say our dress
goods of all sorts are at
about their highest now.
Second aud third circles. southeast
from center.
Silks of all sorts have
come; and never were silks
more acceptable. And these
words have a meaning here
beyond any they could have
elsewhere; because of the
greater variety of wants tha'
look to us for supply. We
must have all accepted styles,
and all the approved quail
ties of those styles; and, as
to colors, can you think of
one that we can do without?
A store that has only one
class Of trade can get along
with comparatively few silks.
Which stock would you
rather buy out of?
Next outer circle south entrance

Two damask towels at Is
and Is cents may serve to
show what we gain by buy
ing of the makers. The very
same towels are in the whole
sale trade in New York at
about FL and 22 cents, which
means at least IS cents at
retail.
We are not going to say
that all our retail prices are
below New York wholesale;
nothing of the sort. More
than one swallow to make a
summer" But where such
towels are to be got for IS
rents is a good place to look
for bed and table-linen, and
all the other linens. That's
what we mean exactly; it's
true, too.

Do you remember a az

which we had 1900 yards
last fall? Afterward we got
1000 yards more of it; and
a little of it is left yet. That
is 23-inch. This wide fan
mel is fully as good as that.

there is quite a little wit

whats In a Wrong Name.

Washington, July Pin debate Sem
ator Williams said he did not wish to
see the grade of commodore abolished;
that grade was an illustrious one, as it
carried us back to Perry, Truxton, De-
catur, and a host of naval heroes. Mr..
Logan said the distinguished officers
never held the grade Of commodore, as
it had not been created until 80. They
were simply captains, and the gentle
u from Kentucky had betrayed his
ignorance of our naval history in assum-
ing otherwise. The title had been pop
ularly assigned to Perry and others just
as 1t was indiscriminately applied to
Vanderbilt, Garrison and others, be-
cause they owned vessels.
