General Gordon's Death,

KoRTI, February 17.-Advices from
Abu Klea, near Gubat, state that small
outpost affairs occur daily, the enemy
are receiving guns and reinforcements
from Khartoum, and that Mahdi has
ordered all tribes in the vicinity to as
semble Immediately and attack the
British forces at that point.
Gen Gordon's trusted messenger
George, has arrived at Abu Klea. He
saws that almost all the native accounts
agree that Gordon, finding himself be-
trayed, made rush for the magazine
near the Catholic mission buildings, and
finding the rebels already in possession
he returned to the government house
and was killed in trying to re-ehter.
The rebels were admitted to Khartoum
at night-January rs.
Another account SAYS that Gordon
rushed toward the magazine intending
to explode it and thus prevent the am
munition, of which there were several
tons, falling into the hands Of the enemy
The enemy quickly realized his lnten-
ton and shot him dead.

Tamper1ng With the Mails.

LONDON, February 20.-Upon the ar
rival to-day of the Celtic from New
York a sensation was caused by the an
nouncement that, when the steamer was
three days out, mail bag was found IN
the saloon closet which had been cur
open and it's contents, including dis
patches from the English consul to his
government, had been torn and crum-
pled inside the bag. Another bag, spe-
cially sealed, was also found, but It is
not known if anything was abstracted.
The violation of the postal laws must
have occurred before the steamer left
New York. It is surmised that it was a
fenian attempt to ascertain the contents
of the dispatches to the English govern
ment. or that it was a bold attempt at
mail robbery.

Good Breeding.

There is one plain, simple and infalliblo
way of earning the reputation of being we'll
bred. person may have perfect society
manners, may be SO accustomed to mingling
in all sorts OF gatherings as to be easy and
unembarrassed under all circumstances, and
yet be ill-bred. The one great principle of
good breeding is the practical application of
the golden rule, to treat others as we would
ourselves be treated. We may sometimes
make little bunders in matters of etiquette,
but if the purpose is good the mistake is
soon overlooked and forgotten by our friends
The golden rule is, therefore, the base of good
manners, and good manners always begin at
home. The children should be taught to
yield to each other, not merely from policy
but because it is right, and they will soon
comprehend the principle underlying the act
Avoid formal politeness that GOODNESS which
chills the recipient, let the etiquette be ever
so perfect. Ease and grace Of department
are not to be desplsed, nor is awkwardness
to go unreproved for fear of hurting a chld's
feelings. The reproof can be made so quiet
ly and so kindly that no permanent wound
will ensue

Where We Get the Asphalt.


never look at an asphalt pavement or
roll along over its smooth surface in a car
riage without thinking of the curious island
and the still more singular place from which
the material is procured. In about the cen.
tire of the Island of Trinidad, dot in the
Caribbean Sea, just off the coast of Venezuela,
there is an asphalt lake. 1t is said to cover
about one hundred acres and is apparently
inexhaustible. 1t is black sandy substance
and is believed to be crude rotten petroleum.
A singular feature of the substance is that
although about fifty thousand tons are taken
out of this lake annually, it constantly fills
up so that there is no lessening OF the sup
ply. This singular lake of paving material
is owned by the Venezuelan Government
but leased to a company in Washington, of
which man named A.. L. Barber is Presi-
dent. They have a fleet of schooners running
to Trinidad, and having a monopoly of the
business they import vast quantities of the
material laid down on Broad street beyond
Columbia avenue.
