Some vulgarities of Good Society.

Asking questions private and personal,
is one vulgar habit, and telling your own
business, which no one wants to hear, is
another. Asking the cost of present that
has been made to you; pumping" a servant
to hear what has been given by way of
parting vail loud talking in public hard
staring at table; insolent disrespect to hus-
band, wife, sister or brother; showing tenn
per in trifes and scenes in public; covert
sneers, of which people can see the animus
if they do not always understand the drift
persistent egotism, which talks forever of
itself, itself, and only itself, and cannot
even feign the most passing interest in an
other; detraction of friends and it may be
of relations husband telling Of his wife's
unpleasantness, wife complaining of her
husbands faults; the bold assumption of
superiority, and the servile confession of in
finite unworthiness all these are signs and
evidences of vulgarity -vulgarity of a far
worse type than that which eats its fish
with steel knife and says "you was and
''each of the men were"
In fact, the true vulgarity resolves itself
into that central point of evil-selRshness.
The unselfsh can never be really vulgar,
They may be uncouth, but they cannot be
more, while the best top-dressing of manner
to be found in the whole world cannot
make the substance refined, where that one
foul canker of egotism and indifference to
others lies at the heart of things The
Queen.

An epitaph is curious place in which
TO look for wit, but there are two epitaphs
which, while they excite smile, do not
interfere with more serious thoughts
When the actor Burbadge died, his friends
pondered over a suitable inscription, and
at last happily hit upon this, which is sim
pie enough and yet tells the v hole story :
Exit Burbadge." When Charles Knight
died, Jerrold suggested that this equally
simple inscription should be put on his
tomb, Good Knight. .

How TO GER RIcH.-Nothing is so easy
as to become rich 1t is only necessary to
trust nobody, to befriend none, to get all
you can and save all you get, to stint your
self and everybody belonging to you, to be
the friend of no man, and to have nobody
for your friend, to heap interest upon in
terest, cent upon cent, to be mean, miser-
able, and despised for some twenty or thirty
years, and riches win come as surely as dis
ease and disappointment. And when pref
ty nearly enough wealth is collected by a
disregard of all charities of the human, and
at all expense Of every enjoyment, death
comes to finish the work-the body IS
buried in hole, heirs dance over it, and
the spirit goes-where

Members of the British House OF Com
mons have sought to induce the British
Museum authorities to keep open the
museum at night and have failed In me-
mortal signed by more than two hundred of
them they prayed that the trustees would
stake into their early consideration the best
means of lighting the great national collec-
tion SO as to enable 1t to remain open till
ten O'Clock at night every week day
throughout the year In reply the trustees
say that at present they cannot face the risk
and expense which the scheme would in
volve. The electric light has been tr ed for
dark weather and for students at night with
very satisfactory results, but the expert
ment has not been carried far enough to
satisfy the trustees that this light could be
depended on absolutely for lighting the gal
leries. Gas is out o. the questiou-6rst, be-
cause there is no provision for its use, and
second, because it has been condemned as
injurious to many objects In the museum.

Lighting the whole museum by electricity
would be about seventy thousand dollars.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
A Georgia Merchant Clears Himself
OF Serious Charge.

NEW YORK, June 5.-James E. Tate, of
Thomson, Ga, mentioned in a dispatch
made up from an article In the New York
Times of the 90 b ult, in which he was
charged with having imposed upon Thomas
Leeming & Co, of this city, has proved
himself to the satisfaction of that firm
not to have been the party
who swindled them and others of our
merchants. On the contrary Tate is a
merchant of means, and is member of one
of the Oldest and most respectable families
in the South. The mistake is represented
to have occurred wholly through a letter
written by Messrs.J j G. Bailey & Son, of Au-
gusta, to Messrs. Leeming & Co., stating
that the description of a well dressed
swindler corresponded with that of Tate,
who had lately started North. Tate states
that be will bring suit against James g.
Bailey & Son, of Augusta, Ga, for $40 600
damages, having retained Judge William
Schley, of this city, and Judge Hook, of
Augusta, as his attorneys.

amined by the Window committee this
morning and testified at some length relative
to the object OF the association money
raised by them and the manner Of its ex-
penditure, His testimony gave the COM
mittee some light upon the situation of the

alleged ccrrupiions Of men engaged in
the manufacture of whisky. The ex-
animation of Mr.. Shuffeld concluded the
examination so far as the present list Of
witnesses are concerned.
Colonel Wharton, for the Kentucky dis
tillers, stated that as they had been sum-
mOned at considerable loss and inconveni-
ence, and under serious charges, they
deemed 1t but just to them to demand that
the person who made these charges should
be summoned before the committee while
they (the distilers) are here. He referred
to Mr.. Buell., of the Washington Critic. The
committee took this suggestion under sd-
visement Later It was announced that the
next meeting would be held next Thursday,

Force BIlI-The First TWO Clauses
Adopted.

LONDON, June SIN the House of Lords
this afternoon the Marquis Of Waterford
moved for the correspondence in connec-
tion with the recent release of suspects. He
condemned the action of the government in
coming to terms with Parnell and other
Land Lesguers.
Earl Cowper deprecated the release of the
suspect members of Parliament and re-
gretted that the subject of arrears Of rent
was mixed up with the general question.
The Marquis of Salisbury said the govern
ment had given their conciliatory measures
In way that led to the belief that the
measures were extorted by crime.
Ia the House of Commons this afternoon,
Mr. Gladstone replying to Mr.. Healy, said
there have been no designations OF Irish
Judges on account Of the repression bill.
There are two vacancies, but they are sim
ply owing to promotions.
The first clause of the repression bill was
passed in committee by a vote of 227 to
81 During the discussion of the first clause
several Irish Inembers expressed their wish
that the Special Commission Courts be pre-
cluded from TYing prisoners for treason In
consequence OF words spoken or written in
foreign country.

OF trial by jury would demoralize both the
people and the JUDGES.
Mr.. Pdrnen denied that the Irish people
sympathzed with crime. The Ph9nix Park
murders, he said, had produced a desire TO
assist 10 the enforcement of law. But that
feeling disappeared when the repression
bill was introduced. He declared that the
bill would tend to increase ourrages.
The House then divided on the first clause
of the bill with the result already repor, ed.
The second clause of the repression bill.
which provides for appeals from the Special
Commission Courts to the Court of Criminal
Appeal, was adopted unanimously, and
progress was reported.
