What Is a Gentlemang

What is a gentleman? 1t is a very
old question and has been answered in
very different ways, but it is clear that
the word at least has a relative and not
an absolute meaning as some insist, and
that it varies with the times. Here is
what Lord Chesterfield says, which the
members of the Four-in-Hand Club
will read with interest: ga gentleman
always attends even to the choice Of
his amusements. II at cards he will
not play cribbage, all tours, or putt; or
in sports of exercise be seen at skittles,
!eap-frog, football, cricket, driv-
ing OF coaches, etc., for he
knows that such an imitation
of the manners Of the mob will indelibly
stamp him with vulgarity." In 'another
OF his letters to his son he says:
"Ihere are liberal and illiberal pleas
ures, as we'll as liberal and illiberal
arts. Scottish drunkenness, indiscrim-
mate gluttony, driving coaches, rustic
sports, such as fox-chases, ho%rse-races,
etc, are infinitely below the honest and
industrious professions of a tailor and
shoemaker" And yet people who call
themselves gentlemen do most of these
things nowadays, and even those who
are not gentlemen consider themselves
such in consequence of doing some OF
them. Between Lord Chestertields
ideas and Mr.. Tennyson's on the sub
ject, who is to decide?-PaW Mall Ga|

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

About nine hundred lives were saved
last year by the British National Life
boat Institution.
Mount Etna is now to have a rail
road which will go a considerable way
up it, and connect many villages lying
around its base.
The Car has conferred decorations
on all the members of the Papal Mis-
sion who went to Moscow to represent
the Holy See at the Coronation.
The London & Northwestern Rail-
way Company of England is now run
ming express trains from Liverpool to
London-more than two hundred miles
in four and a half hours.
The civil servant under the crown
longest in harness in England is Earl
Granville. He has held office even
longer than Mr.. Gladstone, his present
chief, whose record is so long and
varied.
The latest fancy of the London
Washers is to have . cab painted a
delicate primrose color, and drawn by a
chestnut horse. The Junior Army and
Navy Club appears to be the headquar-
ters of these brilliant equipages.
Lord Beaconsteld's fancy for prim-
rose is said to be due to the circum-
stance that old Mrs. Williams, of Tor
quay, who left him 5000, 900, always
had punches put in his room, and he
made a point of coming down to dinner
with one of them in his button-hole.
The Bank of France employs one
hundred and sixty female clerks, who
receive sixty cents a day to begin with,
and after a year or two an annual
salary of $3.50. They sit in rooms apart
from the men, are superintendent by
officials of their wv sex, and their
work is of the best quality.
The magnificent Cologne Cathedral
is at last actually completed, six hun
dred and thirty-five years after its foun-
dalton, and nothing remains but to take
down the last shed and put the terrace
in order. Over 50, 600. 900 has been
spent in this work since 1864, and about
100000 more than the money on hand
is needed to tear down the incum-
brances, and this will be raised by
another and final lottery.
The "Sixpenny Fish Dinners" at
South kensington, which were a happy
thought of the Baroness Burdctt-C outts,
have succeeded beyond expectation,
and another and larger room has been
added. The Baroness and her husband
have both been several times to the
dining-room to watch the way the ex-
pertinent works, and on the day of the
greatest pressure Mr.. Burdette-C outts
himself might have been seen, aided by
two policemen, serving out plates to
the hungry public.

The Emperor has always been . devoted

A Dangerous Toy.

The toy pistol is so safe, many ignor-
ant persons think, because it carries
neither shot o bullet.
AS | tried it once, :. can tell you about
it. First, [ twisted one of the caps
around a match, and set the match on
fire. When the flame reached the
paper cap there was a little explosion.
Suddenly ! felt a singing sensation in
my hand, and, on looking at it, I found
several tiny black splinters sticking in
the skin. 1 pulled them out, but I felt
the pain for some time afterward. Then
| placed a cap on the hearth and struck
it with a hammer. This time I was
well scared, and kept my hands as far
away as 1 could. When it went off I
felt the same stinging sensation IN my
left hand, which was more than two feet
away. / had been struck again by g.
flying splinter. This thing was getting
decidedly dangerous, and when 1 took
up the pistol to try it, 1 carefully,
wrapped my right hand in my handker-
chief. 1t went off beautifully, but-ah!
There was the mischief! The handker-
chief was dotted here and there with
the black splinters from the exploded
cap.
The insane desire of the small boy to
carry a pistol is one of the wonders of
the age; and the worse than folly of
those who allow him to do so is almost
incredible. Of what use is it? If the
pistol will not go off, it is, as it's owner
would %scornfully express it, "nogood."l
If it does go of, tits a dangerous weapon
that has power to MAIN and kill.
Did you eve think what it means to
kill-to take away life? Who shall do
so dire and terrible a thing as that?
Are you fit to have a pistol? Are you
wise enough to carry a revolver? No,
sir. 1t is against the law insome States
to carry pistols. Why, then, should
you wish a toy-pistol, that will shoot
nothing but the boy who holds it? If
you live in the backwoods, and have to
fight the terrible wild crow or the fero-
cious chipmunk, you may learn to use
a good rifle. In cities and towns, where
the most terrific wild beasts to be seen
are the cats, a boy who carries a pistol
is a boy without sense-a boy whom
girls despise and brave boys call a COW
ard.-Charles Barnard, IN st. Nicholas.

There probably was never a more As.

The next morning there was an ex.
PLANTATION when his mother saw he,
darling boy all covered with stripes
where she had struck him. It seemed
even to that stupid little fellow that
there was something like retribution in
his punishment, for as it turned out he
had been logged with his own cruel
whip, which his mother had picked un
by accident as she entered the hut.
However, the result happily was that
Bobolo learned two important things.
One was how to scare an elephant, and
the other was that he would cry if he
was struck with a whip. His poor
slaves benefited by the last piece of
knowledge, for he did not use his whip
so freely after that.-Youh's C0mpqn.

Mid.Atlantic Telegraph Stations.

Chambers Journal takes up the re-
cent bold plan of MI. w. C. Anderson
for founding ssdeep sea lighthouses"
as a ''hopeful scheme" which, if car
ried out, 'will fulfil a want that has
long been acknowledged as a necessary
one."
MI. Anderson's plan, as recently x
planned to the London Society of En-
gineers, is to construct a hollow cylin-
der of riveted iron work 29O feet long,
to consist of two sections-the upper
part to be 140 feet long, destined to G
its head above the waves and fitted as
an ordinary lighthouse, while the re-
naming portion of the tube is to be
ballasted so as to sink below the water
line and counteract the force of winds
and waves on the exposed part. The
whole apparatus is to be anchored in
deep water by heavy steel cables. The
inventor claims that it would be easy to
tow such . structure to the spot Sc
lected for it, and then by admitting wa
ter to the lower section it would as
sumo an upright position and ride the
waves like q bottle. The English Jour-
nal referred to says: "Owing to our
lnsular position we are dependent for
our storm warnings on our transatlan-
tic neighbors; but if it becomes posi-
BILE to found . floating telegraph sta
ton, say n thousand miles from our
shores, in mid-Atlantic, we could have
warnings OF coming storms quite twen-
ty-four hours before their arrival"
The idea of founding mid-ocean float
ing telegraph stations has long been
discussed, but no engineer has vet de-
vised, unless it be MI. Anderson, any
structure which would remain station
airy and, if connected with the tele-
graphic cables, would not in stormy
weather endanger them. The depth Of
water to which the agitation of a wave
reaches never bears a large proportion
to the waves dimensions, the motion
diminishing in geometrical progression
as the depth below the surface in
creases in arithmetical. SIN the a
OF a wave Il quarter of a mile in breadth
and forty feet in height as Sir John
Herschel shows, ''the displacement of
water at a depth of l POO feet in it's a
sage over it would be less than an inch
and would be incapable of disturbing
the smallest grain of sand"
AS Atlantic waves seldom attain these
dimensions, it seems highly probable
that the construction Of a deep sea
floating station which can in all weather
be kept in place is not a mechanical
impossibility. The success with which
gas-lighted buoys have been maintained
on storm-swept shoals on our sea-coast.
may be taken as evidence that such a
structure as Mr.. Anderson devises might
be made, with some notifications as to
shape and length, to stand moored to
anchor blocks in deep water. If this
much could be demonstrated, the work
OF connecting the structure with one OF
the transatlantic cables would be simple;
and the structure thus serving the pur-
pose of a mid-ocean telegraph station,
would be an immense boon both to
navigation and to meteorological sci
! ence.-N. Y. HeralG.

SISTERS FERRY, EFFINGHAM COUNTY.
GA, Sept. 1T was my pleasure on
Wednesday last to be present at the an
nual celebration of the Laurel Hill Sun
day School near this place.
No community takes more pride in it's
Sabbath school than this, and truly it is
gratifying to see the amount of harmony
existing, with accompanying zeal mani
tested equally by teachers and scholars.
Their genial superintendent, Capt. j. d.
Grower, with the able assistance of Mr..
d. E. Rieser, who manages the singing
department, add much as faithful labor
ers in sustaining this admirable institu-
tiOn.
The celebration is always looked for
ward to as an event of much pleasure
and is attended by visitors from all sec
tions Of the county, and they never fail
to receive anything but hearty welcome,
hospitality being strong characteristic
of the people of old Effingham, and for
this she is noted far and wide.
On this occasion Hon. Amos +. Rahn
was called upon and responded in an elo-
quent and fOrcible address, urging all to
cooperate in keeping their Sunday school
in its present healthful condition and
styling it the ''Nursery of the Church. ;;
After Mr.. Rain had finished. the Rev.
Mr.. Austin was requested to address the
assembly, and he spoke warm words of
