Yankee ShreWdness.
From the Manbatton.

From the Manbatton.
A Yankee performing a Journey
through the back countries on foot
saw two horses in a field as he passed
along, one of which he determined to
borrow for few miles, as he was
feeling very weary. Accordingly,
writing in pencil on a slip of paper
that he would leave the beast at the
next town on the road, he tied the
note to one horses fetIock, and
mounting the other with merely a
halter for bride, rode off with him.
This transaction happening to he ob.
served. an alarm was given to the
owner of the animals, who, saddIing
the remaining one, without paying
any attention to the note on its leg,
rode away after the unknown bor-
rover, or, as he considered him, per.
haps, thief. Unlucky for the Yankee.
he was mounted on a slow traveller
compared with the steed he had left
behind. and he soon deserted with
some CONSERVATION a rider behind
urging a powerful beast along the
road at full specd, evidently in pur-
suit of him. Having neither whip
nor spur, he found it difficult mat
ter to impel the horse he rode beyond
its usual pace, and his pursuer. there
fore, had every chance of coming uD
with him directly. At this moment
he perceived a cottage by the road
side at no great distance, toward
which, by blows and kicks, he urged
his steed somewhat faster, the farm
er gaining on him, nevertheless, at
every step. Reaching the door he
dismounted and went in. The farm
er riding up Immediately after, in
tremendous passion. threw himself
oHhis horse, leaving it by the side of
its fellow. and ran into the cottage to
seize and secure the thief. The YAM
kee, however, was prepared for him.
Having slipped up stairs he opened
the front window, which looked out
upon the road, and as the farmer ran
into the house let himself down out
side, mounted the saddled horse,
seized the other by the halter and
rode off securely with both.
The hero of the second story was
at least as Ingenious. A new liquor
warehouse opening at Boston on a
ready-money and low-priced system,
Jonathan walked in one day with
two gallon keg on his shoulder, and
asked for gallon of the hest brandy.
The liquor being poured through
funnel into his keg the money was
demanded. Pretending ignorance of
their mode of doing business, the
Yankee said he would pay the next
time he came to town. The shopman
demurred, saying that he did not in
tend to give any credit. But" ask
ell the Yankee in mock surprise, "do
you intend to take back the brandy ?"
"To be sure" replied the other, "if
you don't pay for It,"
"Ehen," said he, "you must bring
your measure. for had some liquor
of my own in the keg."
This was done, a gallon of the con
tents measured back and the fellow
marched off with another gallon of
fine grOg. having half filled his key
beforehand with water.

Mr.. Blaine's Strength.
THE New YORK Sun ATTRIBUTES 1T TO HIS
AMERICANIsM.

The New York Sun is an intensely demo-
cratic paper, at the same time it has the
power to discover the strong points of leading
men, L nder the caption, ''Blaine's Strength"
the Sun says that his great popular strength
is "a mystery to the commonplace" and
then proceeds to give the reasons why he lie
popular, which we quote;
"The people like Blaine partly because he
is hearty, cordial, unaffected, agreeable
man. Nobody can be in his society for half
an hour without being entertained and i'm
pressed. He is vivid, genial and unaffected.
Even when he is acting. he is true to nature,
and carries his auditor along. As a party
man Blaine is just as whole-souled as he is in
a coterie of his crouies. He is for the regular
nominations every time. and nobody ever
heard him talk of boiling the ticket /.
But all this does not suffice to account for
Mr.. Blaine. 1t does not fully explain his
speed and bottom. The secret is not there
Moreover, while these things are necessary
to his power among men. they do not consti-
tute it. They are the foundation and the
edifice towers above. The inner soul of
Blaine is his intense Americanism. He is
American through and through. bone. fiber
and finger nails. He always flies the Amer.-
can flag, and the American eagle perches on
his shoulder To the hereditary antagonist,
foe and rival of the United States. to England.
his flag is never lowered. not even in cere-
mony.
Civilization and intelligence constantly
tend to obliterste barbarism and barbarous
impulses; but We suppose that in the heart of
every American of revolutionary descent, fed
on the memories of that momentous struggle,
educated in the Fourth-of,July orations of IS
years ago, there turks. notwithstanding all
the effects of culture and Christianity. a GER
tain luminosity toward the mother country.
toward England. The feeling is not so strong,
OF course, as that which prevails in all Irish
men; but il is strong enough, nevertheless
This sentiment Blaine represents and embod-
les, and it makes him friends who would
never be his friends otherwise.
Those politicians, independents and demo-
Gratis, who imagine that this sort of Unborn
passion, avowed or hidden, is a thing that can
be despised in presidential canvass, do not
consider the facts With adequate wisdom Mr..
Blaine Is much more difficult candidate to
deal with successfully than those who Judge
from superficial indications may believe"

Fortunes From, Triaes.

Every one has probably seen
toes tipped with leather to keep
them from wearing out, or so
mended after they were worn.
Somebody concluded II was better
to make thetip Of brass than leath.
en He straightway took out a
patent for it, and made of thein.
dussry of the country 100000.
The rubbsr Tip on the end Of flcsd
pencils did not take much genius
to invent, yet the manufacturers Of
pencils pay a royalty TO she inven.
tor for every one, and Of course it
is charged to consumers, and the
patentee refused $4,000 for his
royalty. The common metal screw
up to 1S47 was made the entire
length the same size. a cin6in.
NATHAN invented the idea Of max
ing the point sharp or gimlet-
pointed, and had Ii patented. 1t
made him a millionaire, and In.
dustry footed the bill. Up to
about 1910 all letters were sealed
with wax or waters. Some one
racked his mighty genius and in.
vented tho use Of mucilage on the
envelope, aud the patent placed
him among the rich men Of the
earth. The skates on rollers is a
late invention. OF course II must
have required the genius Of a
Morse or the sage Of Menlo to con.
ceive such a bright idea, and yet
he refuses 100000 for bis wit.

Good Manners.

Good manners are among the
greatest charms a person can pos
soss, and everybody should cult
vate them, especially young peo.
pie. They are something money
cannot purchase, for there is only
one way Of obtaining them, aud
that is by habitual practice.
We know a good mother who
used to say;
always use good manners at
home, and then when you go
among strangers you need never
bealarmed, for it will be perfectly
natural TO be polite and respectful" "
This is true, and we have always
thought that the best and easiest
way TO do anything right was to
get ia the habit Of doing 1t right.
Hardly anything is Of more con.
sequence than good manners or
pOlileness in a boy or girl. They
render those who possess them IA.
vorites with their relatives OF
friends, and prepossesses strangers
toward them. POliteness costs
nothing, and at tho same timeit is
Ofthe greatest value.
