EVERYDAY Politeness
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

II is astonishing how many people there are

what it dictates, do not seem to reflect that IN

rsctly sacrifice themselves by ignoring rules
deduced for the comfort Of all from the exper-
fence Of mankind; for the purpose, first OF al,

Nearly all city papers at the east are
sounding a cholera alarm and urging a
general cleaning. They think cholera
5 sure to come this year. Perhaps it
will, but whether it does or not, clean
ing up will do much to prevent this dis
ease. But cleaning should not be con-
fined to cities There is scarcely a
home in America that may not be made
more healthy by we'll directed spring
cleaning. There are other fatal diseas-
es besides Cholera and these prevail in
almost every locality.

The large number of ridiculous blum
ders in the legislation of each session is
disgraceful to all concerned, and iusti-
fies the remark of a cynical member
that it was fortunate so few people saw
how laws were made, otherwise there
would be still less respect for law than
now-and that is not saying a great
deal for the law.

The French newspapers think Gran
viIle's explanation of England's attitude
In the Bismarck controversy was an act
of humiliation unworthy a great ma
ton, and the sentiment in England is
that Bismarck completely hoodwinked
and outwitted the Gladstone ministry.
The foreign policy Of the present adj

throughout, and has brought England
into such disrepute abroad that years
of able management will be required to
enable her to regain her influence in

friend, however, said nothing about
the accident, and some hours after the

with the report in his hand. to demand
an explanation. 'You say. N. B. ---, -t

From Jest to Earnest.

One hot night last July, when the
burden of proof-rcading in close room
in the office of the Kansas City Times
seemed almost sutfocating, when the
hot air. of blazing gas-burners and the
sitting fumes from fifty jets over typos
cases seemed beyond human endurance,
Dick Shanks might have been seen
working as only night-fiends on morn
ing papers can work, gazing intently
at the agate and nonpareil takes. deci-
phering bad manuscript and laborious-
ly contributing his share to make a
morning paper. With fevered brow
and tired eyes the old copy-holder
toiled on through the busy rush of a
"heavy' night, gazing through his
spectacles to catch turned 80" or
wrong font IS" About $3.50 there was
slack in the run of copy, and while
Shanks and his fcllow-workmen were
waiting for other proofs, he began to
tell how night-work was wearing on
him, how he could not sleep through
the hot days, and yet how dependant
he was upon his small salary for
livelihood! He longed to leave the desk,
and told how he had lost fortune in
the war and now had to work like a
slave; that he was poor and dis
couraged with his condition, and he
did not care how soon the good angel
called him to another world. A few
minutes later than this the proof-read-
er who sat beside him came to a little
telegraph ''take" which said some
thing about vast fortune in Kentucky.
Thinking he could have little fun by
inserting his companions name in the
dispatch, the proof-reader added in a
few lines on the manifold paper of the
dispatch these words:
"The only known heir of the Ken
lucky Shanks is R. L. Shanks, proof
reader, supposed to be working like
slave on the Times"
The old copy-holder read it and
laughingly put ii in his vest pocket,
where it remained for many months.
OF course mo aone ever dreamed that
there was word of truth in the silly
prank ora leisure hour, but it has now
come to light that every word of that
manufactured telegram is true. Mrs.
Shanks one day found the telegram in
her islands vest'pocket, and asked
what it meant. Just for fun he said it
was o true telegram which he had re-.
ceived. She told u sistcr-in1 Jaw. and
this sister-in-law wrote to Stanford,
Lincoln Go. Ky, to knew if twas so.
The -answeri came that there was q
fortune there for, the heirs Of David L.
I-Shanks, formerly Of, Virgiuia;, that he
had-at one time owned d aAnumber of
shares in a turnpike road. He died in
1841, and the annual dividends had ac-
cumulated and been in the public
treasury ever since. and that the heirs
could not be found. When Dick Shanks
saw that letter he knew that his father,
who died just before Dick was born,
was the former owner OF those shares,
for his name was David L., and he
came from Virginia. The story is a
large one, but it is enough to say that
subsequent communication with the
State Treasurer and county officials
has placed Dick Shanks' identity with
out doubt as the heir of ttree-fifths
Of the entire fund, which had been ac-
cumulating for over forty years. The
case is in the hands Of Mr.. @. j. Bower,
of thisocity, and Dick will soon have
his money. - Kansas City Journal 10 lt5

"YouthD at the Grand.

The magnifcently mounted drama OF
''Youth' was given by the Boston Theater
company to fair house at the Grand last
evening, which was brimful of pleasing
stage and scenery effects, the running of an
express train, boating scene on the Thames,
with shifting shore views in the sail, the life
like view of convict prisoners at jail work,
the drill and embarkation OF troops from
England for the Afghan war, and a stirring
battle scene with the savage peo-
pie being especially excellent. The
plot Of the play with the scenery
and spectacular effects is quite ex-
citing and last evening Frazer Coulter as
Frank Darlington the only son Of the old
vicar of Beechly, upon whom an adventures
in revenge for injuries sustained from the
latter in his youth, wreaks her revenge, was
a well sustained character. Miss Rachel Noah
as Mrs. Walsingham, the revenging woman,
sustained her part handsomely while several
OF the others in the support showed excel
lence.
Que Of the great features Of the evening
was the EN- barkation Of troops on her
malesty's steamer Afghan, battle scenes
by company d, Second regiment
NJ n. g., under command OF
Capt. Ed s. Bean, which viii also be given
at the matinee this afternoon and the fare
well appearance Of the company this even
ing. Cheer after cheer welcomed the feats
of this fayorite and talented company as
they obeyed the command Of their captain
with the regularity Of clock work, the firing
and bayonet exercise showing that the boys
can win more prizes If anyone has the temer-
ity to put them up. While youth" is Of IL
self worth the patronage Of the thcater goer,
the drill exercise Of Company D on the spa
cious stage OF the Grand is worth the full
price Of admission OF itself.
