Manner and Manners.

Beauty is generally considered as the
most seductive and irresistible of social
graces. Yet even beyond the fascination
of beauty may be ranked the charm Of
manner, and the brilliant interchange
of thought between refined and cult
waited intellects. Manner may indeed
take the first place among social gifts,
for it has an ethical value as refining
influence in all grades of life. 1t pro-
notes harmony, softens acerbity of
temper, and diffuses calm JOY over the
home circle; while in society it dom
mates as no other gift or grace can do.
Beauty may often have fatal power to
draw souls earthward, and conversation,
with all its wit and brilliancy, may be
used TO vitiate the moral sense; but
manner is ever noble and ennobling,
because based on the two great moral
principles--respect for ones self and
respect for others.
Manner exists as an heirloom among
some races, AZ the Celt, the Slav and
the Arab. The courtesy of the Celt
approaches reverence, and the Bedouins
have the calm majesty of desert Kings.
All the Latin races generally have sing
ular grace of idiom and gesture, but
the Teuton is naturally uncouth and
rough. John Bright, in one of his elo-
quent addresses to workingmen, says,
with truth, that manners, far more than
pomp or luxury, form the chief differ
ences between high and low, rich and
poor, the noble and the ignoble.
If the uncultivated classes could be
trained into habits of mutual courtesy
and politeness, if they were made sensi-
BILE of the moral beauty of gentleness,
forbearance, self-respect and reverence,
there would be less of the hideousness
of coarse language and brutal self-asser-
ton in their ordinary intercourse.
Manner is royal grace that we are ac-
customed to associate with high rank
and high breeding, but it may dwell in
the cottage as in the palace; and it has
this advantage-that, while it can beau
tify all life, it costs nothing, and never
generated an evil thought or word

Mr.. LincOln's COrns.

Judge Logan, one of the most promi-
nent lawyers of the West. was the OPP
ponent of Mr.. Lincoln in case to be
argued in the Supreme Court of Hi
nois. Mr.. Lincoln had the opening
and closing, and had just finished the
opening and taken a seat near the old
open-front Franklin stove in the court
room, listening intently TO Judge Lo-
gan's argument. While in this posi-
ton, the Judges on the bench were seen
to smile. and suppressed laugh was
INDUCED in by the bystanders, caused
by Mr.. Lincoln deliberately taking off
his boot, removing tire stocking, taking
his knife out, and pairing a painful
corn. 1t was very apparent to every
body that he did not realize just what
he was doing, although following Judge
Logan closely through his speech to
the court, for he turned with surprise
ut some remarks Judge Logan had
made when he discovered his predica-
ment and begged pardon of the court
for the seeming Unconstitutional Re
publican.

BY an lawful Man."

Having heard good deal of the COM
plants that women have not half a
chance in this world, and been called
upon often and often to sympathize
over blighted ambitions of wives and
mothers, thoughtful citizen" be-
thought himself to observe them in
their long vacations, when. all furbe-
lows and puffings being duly slowed
away, little respite from housekeep-
ing and sewing machines was sought in
country places. Then, if ever, the ideal
of life might have its opportunity. 1t
has been interesting to note the books
chosen for summer reading, the plans
laid for enjoyment, the conversation
most delighted in. Statistics then col
lected show that not one woman in fifty
cares for the fauna and flora of the
neighborhood where she elects to pass
two months. She has no interest-per-
haps because no proper intelligence
in natural history, in botany or in as
tronomy. She will paint when she
cannot draw correctly, and lose herself
in crewel sea of embroidery when the
ocean and its wonders are all unnoted.
Gorgeous cloud masses elicit less at
tention than the combinations of wors-
teds. Poetry, science nor even the best
fiction is TO be seen in her hands. After
all the music lessons one hears of at
the conservatories and elsewhere, not
one, often in large hotel full of wom-
en-, can give pleasure upon instrument
or with voice. Does this sound I'M
charitable? 1t is an opinion based on
experience and given with sad earnest
ness.-BoSton Transcript.

Riding up to the Capitol with q
couple of Iowa members, L observed
them carrying their morning packages
of letters-great bundles of them. Said
one of them: This is n very unpleasant
sort of occupation after all, running
day after day through the departments,
asking this or that to be done. 1t just
about reduces the Office of Congressman
to that of messenger in the department. :"
'Do YOU get any credit for your la
bors in this behalf?"
"Very little. The people who write
us seem to think either that their cases
take very little attention, or else that to
do this sort of business is part of ones
duty here. Why, / have to rush around
the departments every morning with
the greatest of haste to Set through the
work that L have to attend to myself,
while my private secretary does a great
deal of the same kind of work for me
while / am at the Capitol"
Not much satisfaction in being a
Congressman with that sort of work to
do, is there?"
"No, there's not" he replied, and
with laugh he added: "I had little
instance of that the other day. An ex-
member from Iowa was here, and was
mp ut the House looking on, when 1
asked him if he wouldn't like to be back
here again in his old seat. To my
amusement he answered that when the
people of Iowa got him to come to
Washington again to do chores for his
board and clothes they would have to
be n good deal smarter than they are
now. His reply struck me as being
very close to the experiences of every
Congressman who comes here and does
his duty.-JJashington letter.

BUFFALO Commercial AdUertiSer ::
For two years past there has been a
little tin box, containing $4,000 in green
backs, in a safe in the Comptroller's
office mt the State Capitol. 1t was la
beled Sessions Bribery Money"-and
this very well explained its character,
for it was in fact the 81 1000 that Assem-
blyman Bradley, of Cattaraugus county,
swore he received from Senator SEES
sions, as bride to vote for Chauncey
Nj. Depew for United States Senator in
1881. Our readers doubtless remember
the day when Gen. George II. Sharpe,
the Speaker of the Assembly laid down
the money, with sigh of relief, before
the Assembly bribery investigating com
mittee and said: "There's the money; L
want nothing more to do with it; |
haven't slept night since it's been in
my possession" 1t will be also remem-
bered that Bradley swore he went di-
rectly from Sessions room, after re-
ceiving the money, to the room of
Speaker Sharpe, and handed him the
money, with statement how it came in
his possession. The investigating COM
mittee transferred the money to the
Comptroller. who has since had it in
his safe, as we have already said. In
the meantime the State has paid out at
least $1,000 to two lawyers who exam
med witnesses before the investigating
committee, and there are other bills
connected with this trial yet unpaid.
Under these circumstances, the Hon.
Erastus Brooks, thinking the State
ought to confiscate the -, 600 to recoup
itself for its disbursements, moved in
the Assembly that it should be paid into
the general fund of the State, and the
motion was adopted. Thus disappears
into an ocean of good money this little
tainted roll of greenbacks. 1t is to be
hoped it will not infect the entire
amount.

The circus fire in Russia was horri-
BILE. The people were so closely packed
that they could not move. Some of the
clowns, coming into the ring, shouted
'fire;" the audience, thinking it part of
the fun, laughed, but the shouting of
the other performers undeceived them.
Some flung themselves from the gale
ries. Parents attempted to save their
children by throwing them down into
the ring. Some, wearing the long coats
of the Russian Jews, were entangled on
spikes, and remained hanging in the
air. The whole building resounded
with heartrending cries. For little
while the children were safe in the
center of the ring, but when the people
began jumping from the dress-circle
and galleries the children were trampled
to death. A dozen horses, mad with
terror, broke into the ring, trampling to
Heath the people huddled there. In
twenty minutes all was over. At the
windows and exits some of the stronger
forced the weaker back into the flames.
The fire-engine was delayed by falling
through the ice, and when it arrived
the water in the tanks was found frozen.
