In the Russian province of Courland
etiquette is excessively rigorous. Stiff
bows form the nearest approach TO cor
diality here permitted between young
unmarried people of opposite sexes
Very few opportunities are afforded
them of being better acquainted. Even
at dancing parties the gentleman is sup
posed to quit his partner Immediately
on the conclusion of polka or waltz.
Girls are kept under constant supervis-
ion from the moment of birth to thai
of betrothal. Unmarried ladies are
not supposed to occupy the seat Of
honor on the sofa. Betrothal entirely
changes all this formality into a really
Objectionable exhibition of sentiment
Billing and cooling, caresses, and en-.
dearments are INDUCED in in public
without the least regard to delicacy and
good taste.

The strained relations which existed
under the Folger regime between AS.
sistant Secretary New and Appoint.
ment Clerk Butler were matters OF
public comment, and frequently led to
ludicrous scenes. Appointments made
In the department required to be coun-
tersigned by the Assistant Secretary
after they left the appointment division.
This led to endless pickering and quar-
rels. One day laborer employed in
the vaults of the Treasury applied to
Mr.. New to be detailed to do some
work less trying to his health. He
wanted to be transferred to the top
story of the building, he said. AS he
was a protege of New, his request was
granted without trouble, of course.
New directed an order to be drawn and
indorsed on the back:
"This man goes up stairs. John G.
New, Assistant Secretary"
In due course of time the order
reached the appointment division.
Butler saw News Endorsement. That
was enough. He at once sent for the
man.
"You want to go up stairs2"
"Yes, SIR"
"And you have seen the Assistant
Secretary about it 2"
"Yes, SIR"
well, I'll have something to say
about this"
Before the astonished man could re-
cover his breath Mr.. Butler had put
under Mr.. News Endorsement the
words:
"This man goes down stairs. j. B.
Butler, Appointment Clerk"
The paper was sent back to the office
of the Assistant Secretary. Mr.. New
looked with some surprise at Mr.. But
ler's order countermanding his own.
Then he quietly drew his pen across it
and once more wrote:
"This man goes up stairs. John G..
New, Assistant Secretary"
Again the paper went back to the
appointment division. Butler glanced
at it for q moment, and again he
wrote:
"This man goes down stairs. j. B.
Butler, Appointment Clerk"
This harmless little game was kept
up for some time, until the paper had
been filled with Messrs. New and But
ler's Endorsements. Then, at last, these
gentlemen thought it best to refer the
matter to Secretary Folger. He listened
calmly to the statements of the rivals,
and after few moments of reflection
delivered the following judgment,
worthy, surely, of Solomon: Gentle
men," he said, II shall order the man
to be employed on the elevator. This
will he in the nature of compromise.
Half of his time there will be spent
down stairs, the other half up stairs.
The case is dismissed. "-NeU York

Where's Your GimIet!

Little Johnny Yerger has caused q
breach between Gus De Smith, an
Austin society gentleman, and the
Yerger family. Gus called to make a
friendly visit after supper, he having
previously informed Col. Yerger of the
intended honor. The whole family aud
Gus were in the parlor, when Johnny
riveted the attention of all present by
asking Gus De Smith:
~Have you brought your gimlet with
you?"
"Hush, Johnny" said Mrs. Yerger.
$50 to bed, sir" remarked Col. Yer
ger.
What do you mean, Johnny ?" asked
Gus.
Il don't mean muffin; except 1 heard

look at your gimlet. There amt no
harm in just looking at it."-Teras

English ChancellOrs.

1t would be difficult to make any APP
pointment to the woolsack for which q
precedent could not be found more or
less closely in point. In fact. there is
the widest diversity in the records" OF
the various occupants of that seat dur
ing the present century. Two of them,
Erskine and Brougham, had held no
Office under the crown before their
nomination to the highest post which a
layman can fill, though the former had
been Attorney General to the Prince OF
Wales, and the latter had served Queen
Caroline in the same capacity. The
following had passed the grade OF
Solicitor General of England to that OF
Attorney General, namely: Lords
Truro, Westbury, Chelmsford, and Sell
borne. So had Lords ,Eldon, Lynd-
hurst, Campbell, and Cairns, the first
of whom, however, was Chief Justice OF
the Common Pleas at the time of his
elevation to the Chancellorship, the
second Master of the Rolls, the third
Chief Justice of the Queens Bench,
and the fourth Lord Justice of APP
peals. Lyndhurst also presided in the
Court of Exchequer between two ten
ures of the great seal, while Campbell
quilted the Attorney Generalship to
become Chancellor of Ireland, and was
afterward Chancellor of the Duchy OF
Lancaster. Lord Cottenham had been
Master of the Rolls; Lord st. Leon.
ards Chancellor of Ireland; Lord Gran
worth a Baron of the Exchequer, q
Vice Chancellor, and Lord Justice
Lord Hatherley Vice Chancellor and
Lord Justice. Each of the last four
Chancellors had likewise discharged
the functions of Solicitor General

Among the houses of historic interest
In Washington is one on the southwest
corner of Seventeenth and + streets.
Here General Grant had his headquar-
tiers while General of the Army during
the four years after the war, and up to
the time he went into the White House
as President. The house is an old
fashioned square brick building, with
the hall in the center and the third
story formed by dormer windows look
ing out of the roof. The building is now
occupied by the Government for q
division of the Second Auditors clerks.
1t was in this house General Grant
wrote the words, Let us have peace,
which, like Il will fight it out on this
line if it takes all summer" have al
ready taken q place among the memoir
able sayings of great men. 1t was here
at his headquarters, in 1868, that Cen
eral Grant received General Hawley
and the committee appointed to wait
upon and inform him of his nomination
for President When he received them.
General Rawlins, General Dent, Gen.
eral Babcock, and others of his staff
were present. After the formal an
nouncement by General Hawley, Gen.
eral Grants conversational tone in his
reply of acceptance at once made the
visit more social than official, and quite
Invested it of all ceremony. He thanked
them briefly in his quiet manner, say
ing he greatly appreciated the honor,
would communicate his acceptance
to the committee in writing. The next
morning General Dent asked him if he
had written his letter of acceptance, as
he had promised the committee. Gen
eral Grant replied: mo; but will do
so now" and turned round to his desk
where he was sitting, and in a few
minutes had written the letter. In the
meantime others of his staff had come
in. He looked up as he finished the
letter, and said: II have used word
that does not give exactly my meaning.
1 want synonym. One was sug
gested, and he replied: "That is just
the word 1 want, and erasing the word
he had written, he substituted the
other. He then read the letter aloud.
General Rawlins went over to the desk,
picked it up, and read it over himself,
apparently weighing every word care
fully. Handing it to General Grant,
he said: "Just the thing, General.
Put your name to it." General Grant
took up his pen, and adding the words,
"Let us have peace" at once signed
his name.-WaShipgto1 letter ire Ne,o

EVERY year there are many of you
who begin life's race in earnest. A few
lucky ones, by some hocus-pocus, man
age to get in under the wire. A much
larger number never reach the quarter
pole, and many there are who succeed
only in splitting their breeches when
the word "gol" is given. This is no
guess-work either, for guess-work and
prophesying are twin sisters and
out of my line of business. Imme-
diately after you decide to make your
way Independently in this world, don't
forget to pocket your pride. You'll
have to, any way, if you succeed in the
undertaking.

The Law OF Finding.

The law of finding, says writer, is
this: The finder has clear title
against the world, except the owner.
The proprietor of coach, or a railroad
car, or ship has no right to demand
the property found on his premises.
Such proprietors may make regulations
in regard to lost property which will
bind their employees, but they cannot
bind the public. The law of finding
was declared by the kings bench one
hundred years ago, in q case in which
the facts were these: A person found
a wallet containing a sum of money on
shop floor. He handed the wallet and
contents to the shopkeeper to be re-
turned to the owner. After three years,
during which the owner did not call
for his property. the finder demanded
the wallet and the money from the shop
them, upon the ground that they were
found on his premises. The former
then sued the shopkeeper, and it was
held, as above set forth, that, against
all the world but the owner, the title of
the finder is perfect, and the finder has
been held to stand in the place of the
owner, so that he was permitted to pre-
vail in an action against person who
found an article which the plaintiff had
originally found, but subsequently lost.
The police have no special rights in re-
gard to articles lost, unless those rights
are conferred by statute. Receivers of
articles stolen are trustees for the owner
or finder. They have no power in the
absence of special statute to keep an
article against the finder, any more than
a finder has to retain an article against
the owner.-Neio England Grocer.

clever and attractive New York lady,

~And what" I asked, edo you lose

SIR JOSEPH FAYRER, President Of
the British Medical Society, says that
in every Himalayan village the native
babies are kept asleep for hours, while
their mothers are at work, by placing
them in trough and causing stream
of water to trickle on their heads. But
the good old custom of smearing ba-
bies' fingers with molasses and then
giving them few hens feathers to pick
from one hand to another is not to be
given up for any such Hindoo-heathen
method as the above.

A AUNT person is usually one OF
honest intentions. Although his or her
way of stating thing may not be
pleasing to some, yet when taken with
the honest, earnest manner of the
speaker it is to most people positively
refreshing in these days of rampant
hypocrisy.
