A SCENE IN IRELAND.

AT the usual fortrightly petty sessions
held last week,-the presiding magis !.
trates being Col. Stuart and MIR. T. B.
Wilson, three young men named Cor
bett, and man named Sena, were charg-
ed with having murderously assaulted a
process server named Sheedy.
Patrick Sheedy deposed that he resid-
ed in Carrick-on SUR, and was process
server. Thursday, 10Th December last,
he got number of writs to serve on the
tenants of Mr.. Scally. The writs were
for rent due. In the discharge of that
duty he proceeded to BalIyneal, and
served some of the tenants with writs.
''While you were serving those writs
did anything happen to youl'

THE SECRET OF GOOD
MANNERS.

The secret Of good manners is to for
get ones own self altogether. The people
of really fine breeding are the ones who
never think of themselves, but only of
the pleasure they can give to others. No
adornment of beauty, or learning, or
accomplishment. goes SO far in its power
to attract as the one gift of sympathy.
In all French history no women had a
stronger fascination for whoever came
within her reach than Madam Recamier.
She was called beautiful; but her port
rats prove that her beauty was not to be
compared with that of many less char
ming women. And even when every
attraction of person had long passed
away, and she was an old, old woman,
her sway over the hearts of others was
as powerful as ever. What was her Sc
cret?
1t was this one thing solely-her gen.
uine and unaffected interest in the good
and i'll fortunes of her friends. Authors
came to her and read her their books;
painters came to her with their pictures;
statesmen with their projects. She was
sweet, simply and unconsciously. as
rose is sweet. She really cared for the
happiness and success of others, and they
felt the commences of her sympathy. 1t
surrounded her with immortal charm.
Let any girl try madam Recsmier's
experiment. Let her go into society
thinking nothing of the admiration she
may win; but everything of the hap
piness she can confer. 1t matters little
whether her face is beautiful, or her
toilette costly. Before the end of three
months she will be happy girl herself;
for the world likes sunshine and sympathy
and turns to them as the flowers bask in
the sun of June.

plain all thought war was imminent with
Germany. From Germany he received
piles of anonymous letters of the most
insulting kind. some of them even accus-
ing him of cowardice returning by way of
Austria. In reply to the question from
Skobeleff as to whether the Emperor
would send for him, Ignatieff replied the
Emperor had taken no part whatever in
his recall. 1t was simply an act of mill
tary discipline with which his Majesty
had nothing to do.
Ignateff added: ssThis will not pre-
vent your seeing the Emperor at fitting
moment like all other officers of your
rank"
New YORK, March S.-The Herald has
special from Helena as follows: "The
situation here becomes more ditressing
every hour. The levees are built up as
high and strong as is possible under the
circumstances, and still the river con-
tinues to rise and the water lacks but a
few inches of sweeping everything. The
town is protected above by cross levee,
and it has been thought that this would
save the city from sweeping overflow.
The levees above are pierced by great
crevasse and the water is mp to tue top of
this second levee. There is no hope now
that the food can be kept from town, and
at any moment the alarm bell may ring
ont the terrible news that the water is
flooding the streets. Those who occupy
homes in the exposed places have moved
to the second stories of business houses
and to buildings on the highest point.
The overflow from the backwater occu-
pies two-thirds of the town and is still
rising. A regular business is done by
boats and scows carrying people around
the overfiowed district, and scores Of big
boats are at work moving furniture and
other property. The news from below
tells of great distress and increasing loss
of stock and buildings. The break at
Bolivar, Miss, is one Of the greatest ever
made in the levee system, and floods a
vast territory. The water can be seen
from the steamers dashing through the
fields below with the force and roar of a
cataract. Terene, Miss, because of its
central position, has been made the point
for distribution for the section around
Bolivar and Riverton, and every boat
leaving this place for the country below,
carries supplies to the sufferers, and yet
the cries for help come up from every
hand. The immense extent of the food
must be understood before any correct
idea can be formed of the demands of the
case.

Conversation.

A talent for conversation has an extra
ordinary value for common, every day
uses of life. Let any one who has this
gift enter social circle anywhere, and
how every ones face brightens at his en-
trance. How soon he sets all the wheels
in motion, encouraging the timid, calling
ont ostentatiously the resources of the re-
served and shy, subsidizing the facile,
and making everybody glad and happy.
To converse well is not TO engross the
conversation. 1t is not to do all the talk
ING. II is not necessary to talk with very
great brilliancy. A man may talk with
such surprising power as to awe the rest
of the company into silence or excite
their envy, and so produce chill where
his aim should be to produce warmth and
sunshine. He should seek the art of
making others feel quite at home with
him, so that no matter how great may be
his attainmcnts or reputation, or how
small may be theirs, they find it insensi-
bly, Just as natural and pleasing talking
to him as hearing him talk.
The talent for conversation, indeed
more than anything else in life, requires
tact and discretion. 1t requires one to
have more varied knowledge, and to
have il at instant and absolute disposal
so that he can use just as much or little
as the occasion demands. Itrequires the
ability to pass instantly and with ease
from the playful to the serious, from
books to men, and from the mere phrase
of courtesy 10 the expression of senti
ment and passion.

The Muscles.
Youths Companion.

Onr strength is all in our muscles, and
1t is measured by the strength with
which they can contract; not for a short
time, but steadily and permanently-of
course, with the proper intervals of rest.
A young girl in the delirlum of fever
may seem suddenly to have the strength
of two men, but she soon sinks back
utterly helpless. A person of high spirit
forts to be followed by sense of ex-
treme exhaustion, and sorenessand pain,
that shows that the muscles have been
strained.
On the contrary, a man of strong di-
gestion, well-fed, and with muscles in
ured to heavy labor, can work vigorous
ly all day, the year through, without ex-
hausting his physical energies, but rath-
er enchancing them. He can put forth
muscular effort that would break down
a sedentary man in few hours, however
high-spirited
Not few very intelligent men seem
wholly ignorant of these simple facts
We knew doctor of divinity who hav-
ing become convinred that he needed
vigorous outdoor exercise, began at
once wheeling heavy loads of stone and
earth. After an hour or two of this
work he forever yielded up his new con-
victions- at least the practice of them.
Many persons enfeebled by senden-
tary habits and excessive brain-work, do
themselves harm and not good by over
doing exercise at the outset The true
rule is, if you wish to get healthful beIl-
eft by exercise, to begin the exercise
gently, increase it slowly, and keep with
in the limits of fatigue.
Spirited students are constantly in
iuring themselves by feats of strength
in resting or rowing. Occasionally the
heart itself-which is simply a hollow
muscle-suddenly gives way under the
strain, and serious or fatal results fol-
low.
Sensele.s and .heartless drivers often
think to beat strength into the muscles
of an overburdcned horse-thcy put into
the poor animal the strength of the mad.
man, at the expense of its real working
power.

A Tornado's Antics.
New York Tribune.


Tornadoes have special fancy and
faculty for performing astonishing antics,
and the one which visited Winsted,
Conn, last Thursday, was not behind
any Of its predecessors in that respect.
Here and there out of the direct path of
the wind a solitary tree has been torn
and twisted while its immediate neigh
bors stand unruftled. At one point seven
huge trees in group were forced togeth-
er and their trunks twined into a cigan-
tic coil which still stands upright. But
the most surprising feat of the tempest
was performed upon the person of John
Burke. That worthy Irishman was
whirled out of his room, whore he sat
reading and deposited in pig-stye four
hundred feet away. 1t is at least certain
that he was found uniniured in the sty,
and the community takes his word for it
that he was carried there on the wings
of the wind,

The Virgins Tree.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Many 2 traveller has inscribed his
name upon the famous sycamore known
as the Virgins tree, at Heliopolis, where
Arab raised his intrenchments for the
defense of Cairo. The rude bullets of
time and the embellishments of the tour
list have dealt hardly with its trunk, but
its branches are still nourishing. Ac-
cording to the legend the Virgin and
Child once rested under its friendly
shade during the flight to Egypt. An
other story tells how Mary concealed
herself with the child in the hollow of
the trunk, and that kindly spider so
completely covered the opening with its
web as to screen her efiectually from
observation" 1t was presented by the
khedive to the Empress Eugene at the
Inauguration Of the canal. The unfor-
tunate part of the tale is that the tree
now shown as the real article was not
planted until about 1872, the tree of the
fable having died u natural death in 1866.
