Politeness at Home.

A boy who is polite to his father aud
mother is likely to be polite to every one
else.
A boy lacking politeness to his parents
may have every semblance of courtesy
in society. but is never truly polite in
spirit, and is in danger, as he becomes
| familiar, of betrayiDg his real want of
courtesy, ts
We are all in danger of living too
much for the outside world, for the i'm
preston which We make in society, GOV
citing the good opinions of those who are
in a sense part of ourselves, and who
will continue to sustain and be interest
ed in us Notwithstanding these defects
of department and character.
We say to every boy, and to every
girl, cultivate the art of courtesy and
propriety at home-in the sitting room
and in the kitchen as well as in the par
lor-and you will be sure in other
places to deport yourselves in becom-
ing and attractive manner.
When one has pleasant smile and de-
meanor, it is satisfaction to know that
these are not put on. but that they be-
long to the character, and are manifest

treats of the existing crisis in the polit-
ical fortunes of that Territory. Accord
ing to the present method of local Gov
ernmsnt there, the Gentiles, though pos
sessed of the wealth of the Territory,
exclusive of farm property, and though
the most enterprising portion of the
community, are practically without a
voice in legislation. The author proposes
a practicable remedy for these and other
evils prevalent in Utah. An article en-
titled "Why them Come" by Edward
Self, is devoted to the consideration of
the many important questions connected
with European immigration to this
country. DIR. Henry A. Martin, replying
to recent article by Henry Bergh, de-
fends the practice of vaccination. E.
L. Godkin has an article on "The Civil
Service Reform Controversy" Senator
Riddleberger on "Bourbonism in Vir-
ginia;" and General Albert Ordway on
"A National Militia" Finally there is
a paper of extraordinary interest on the
exploration of the ruined cities of Cen
tral America The Review is published
at 80 Lafayette Place, New York, and
is sold by booksellers and newsdealers
generally.

D1PHTHERIA AT HUDSON. WISCONSIN

HUDSON. Wis, Nov 16-Diphtheria
continues to prevail quite seriously in this
city and vicinity. Yesterday Rev. Mr..
Corwin, of the Congregational church.
buried his only daughter, bright child of
some eleven summers, after a sickness of
only five days. On the 9th SltImo he
buried his son, nearly 80 years of age, who
died with the same disease. Mr. Whitman
also lost child Friday, and has two more
seriously i'll. The saddest case yet record
ed is that of the Myers family, in the Ger
man settlement. The mother and five
children have already died with the plague.
and four other ceildren now lie at the
point of death The strain was so great
upon the afflicted father that he was yes
terday found to be raying maniac, at
tempting to take the life of his physician
and remaining children. The poor man
was placed under watchers until his rea-
son be restored.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

FMEMPH1s, Nov 16.4Fhe steamer Guild
ing Star, with the congressional committee
on improvement investigation of the Mis-
sippi river, arrive. tonight at 6 o'clock.
They spent three hours this morning at
Plum Point Tenn, eighty miles above this
city, where Captain Knight, engineer in
charge of the division, showed them over
the works already begun at that place,
which consists of dySing, piling and mat
trassing. The Committee expressed no
opinion of the work, but it will be empod-
led in their report to congress. n. FL.
Hatton, chief of the Baltimore engineers,
who accompanies the committee as con
sulting engineer, will present them
with a technical report of the work.
1t is quite apparent that the ma
5ority of the committee are op-
posed to the levee system, Ellis, of Louisi-
ana, being the only enc in favor of it.
Capt. Knight accompanied the party for
this city, and was subjected to rigid ex.
animation regarding his work and ex-
penditures,f He stated that the work was
merely an experiment, in trying tor deepen
the channel but the committee appeared
to think that such an experiment was a
very expensive one, as Capt. Knight has
twenty pile drivers on the ground, when
he can only use two and has two $4,000
hydraulic graders, which have never been
used. 1t is apparently the purpose of the
committee to thoroughly investigate the
work and expenditures of the Mississippi
river commission, The committee will

ELEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

The New York Eoening Post sizes the
gentleman from New Jersey about right
when it says: (
The defeat of Mr.. Robson in New Jer-
sey shows that he was wrong when he said
that not only was he what he had been,
but that what he was going to remain.
What he was-a member of congress-he
ought never to havesbeeps and is not GO
ing to remain He viii go back to the
position which he ought never to have
left that of an industrious country law
yer. He has talents enough undoubtedly
for wider sphere, and perhaps has virtue
enough, too, but somehow he has utterly
failed to persuade the country that he is
honest. Ever since he was secretary of
the navy there has been a widespread and
unconquerable belief taat he was grossly
corrupt. He thought apparently that by
getting elected to congress he could vindi-
cate himself and put this belief down.
But unhappily his appearance and doings
in congress only strengthened it and spread
it, and he has been for the last two years,
at least since Speaker Keifer put the house
into his hands, new burden for the un-
fortunate republican party.

BUNNRLL's FIFTY BEAUTIES.
A Contest to be Held by Fifty Young Women
for Valuable and Peculiar Prizes.

A few weeks ago there appeared in the
New York daily papers an advertisement
for fifty handsome young women to take
part in an entertainment to be given in
New York City. The wording of the ad-
vertisement was vague and did not specify
the nature of the proposed entertainment.
Applicants were directed to apply to a GER
tain New York theatrical agency. The an
nouncement was made by Mr.. @. B. Bun
NELL of the Broadway museum, he having
resolved to hold at his museum a contest
of beauty. Tomorrow he viii give the
public an opportunity to judge of his pow
ers of discrimination and % exercising their
own sense Of the beautiful at one and the
same time. The fifty handsome young
women will be on exhibition daily for two
weeks, between the hours of 1 and and :
and 9:30 p. m. The degree of beauty. of
each contestant is to be decided by ballot,
each visitor to the museum being entitled
to vote. The ballots will be deposited in
sealed boxes, the boxes to be under the
control of three representatives of the New
York daily press. To the contestant who
secures the greatest number of votes Mr..
Bunnell will present a prize of 800 in gold
and she is also to enjoy the distinction of
1.-THE handSOmest woman in America. To
the one receiving the second highest num-
Der Oh NObtS MI DuilnCll W III present NDO III
gold, and to the third, $25 in gold. In
addition to these prizes offered by MI.
Bunnell the Howe Sewing Machine com
pany has sent to the museum valuable
sewing machine for the young woman who
gets the smallest number of votes, while
the Brooklyn Furniture company has sent
a chamber suit, an ornamental rocker and
a work table as special prizes to be given
according to the directions of committee
and not by vote, thus providing against
entire unfairness should the public ideal of
a beautiful woman prove the popular
standard of beauty to be low one.
While on exhibition at the museum the
women will amuse themselves by reading
sewing and conversing with visitors. while
a few of them more deeply impressed with
a sense of their own beauty will display
their photographs
Mr.. .Bunnell's business manager was
yesterday asked how many women person
ally replied to the advertisement and what
was their general aspect. About two
hundred, as nearly as | can Judge" an
swered the manager. Some came with
rolls of music under their arms prepared
to take parts in opera from that of diva
down to chorus singer and there were sew
eral burlesQue actresses. whose names are
well-known to theatre goers, among them.
A few of them were quite old and with no
claims whatever to beauty. Considering
them collectively they were better looking
than any average 200 women, and they
were enabled to select fifty, of the plainest
of whom it may be said that she is pretty.
The utmost care has been exercised in the
admittance of the women to the contest

slight injuries and proceeded on her way,
while the barge was taken to the direction
of the Brooklyn navy yard, the nearest
point. There were on board at the time
Capt. VIM. Taylor his mother, wife and
three children; also two deck hands, The
barge filled rapidly and sank before the
shore was reached Those in charge of
the tug observed the barge going down

steamed in the direction of the
sinking craft Owing to the

Capt. Taylor rescued his mother, wife and
