Manners in Sleeping Cars.

An observing person who has reason |
to travel much in sleeping cars must
have been frequently moved by the |
lack of reasonableness on the part of |
travellers and officials. In some meas
urc to repair this deficiency and render
summer touring more restful and COM
Portable the following hints are thrown
out:
TO the conductor: Sell the same berth
to several persons, and let them fight
it out as to who shall occupy it, Be
noisy, important, supercilious, incon-
siderate; act as if you owned the car.
This will make everybody feel happy
and safe.
To the porter; Keep the toilot-rooms
unclean and do not supply more than
one towel for three persons. If q pas
senger departs from the coach during
the small hours at night, call him up
so loudly and repeatedly that no one
will remain asleep. If the weather
be warm, keep the fire going lively.
| If it be cold, see to it that the fire goes
out. If there be good supply of dust
and cinders, arrange the ventilators so
as to let in rs much rs possible. In
summer be scrupulously careful not to
ice the drinking water. If a party OF
Boston teachers, coming out to see the
great West for the first time, get up at
4 o'clock in the morning, make up
their sections with so much fuss and
such desperate slamming and banging
rs TO awaken all the other passengers.
This will insure that their waking
thoughts shall be prayerful, especially
after you tell them that the train will
be four hours late reaching its destina-
ton.
To travellers, especially from "the
cultured East to "the rOwdy Vest:
Act as if you owned the car from the
start. Your superior breeding will
thus be established, and no one will
question it thereafter. Talk loudly,
especially about the private and per-
sonal affairs of absent and unknown
people. BE sure to use slang so as to
escape the suspicion of being intellect
ual dudes. Monopolize the toilet
rooms. Give orders to the conductor
and porter in such style rs will demon
strate that the emancipation proclama-
ton had no reference to white trash or
to colorcd folks whom you may happen
to command. Put your feet up on the
cushions of the seats, especially if you
have pretty boot. 1t will not be seen
otherwise. If you cannot sleep during
the night complain so noisily as to
have plenty of company Get up at
$3.50 in the morning, lust to sec the
Wild West" and arouse your travelling
companions. Maintain an incessan1
and boisterous conversation so as tc
compel all the other passengers to gel
0 up, or at least to lilo awake when they
l should be all asleep Sheer at every
e thing you cannot laugh at. Demon
strate in all these ways the superiority
| of the cultured East over the ''rowdy
West" and you will add inestimably
:, to the enjoyment and happiness of sum
mor travellers. All who happen to b,
h in the same car will gaze upon you
departing figure when the train pull
t into the station with the emotions Aus

pose however that West Point will

years:

The several warehouses reported
21,283 bales as aggregate receipts
up to Wednesday morning this sea
son, against 21,765 bales to same
date last season.
When it is remembered that the
roads have been in almost an impas,
sable condition since the first OF
January, the failure of our receipts
to keep in advance of those of last
season as was the case up to the first
of the year, will be fully accounted
for. There is yet much cotton to be
marketed as soon as it can be
brought to the city.
The total receipts at Columbus up
to February 18th, this season,
amounted to 29,237 bales, against
1852 to same date last season, q
falling off of 5,725 bales, while our
receipts as shown above are only 4S2
bales short of last season.
