Good Manners.

The London Spectator contained the
vehement protests of an English
traveller against the want of polish in
the manners of the Germans.
He declared that the wisest of men
and tairest OF women were TO be found
among them, but that they all ate with
their knives and slipped their soup
nolsily. He had seen, he said whole
family eating soft-boied eggs with
knives and forks, and that, say what
you would, speak to whom you might,
the universal answer was stupid,

Thank God for That Disast

The disposition of some men to look
on the bright side of everything was
illustrated on Il far western road the
other day. An old gentleman had
been an attentive listener to the some
what remarkable experiences of his
fellow travellers, breaking into the cui.
mination of each anecdote with pious
ejaculation of praise for some redeem
ing incident in the subject under dis.
cusson. Finally they got to setting it
up on the man, and telling stories in
which it was hard for him to find any
thing to be grateful for. But he
managed to get there each trip, uDtil
the boys were nearly at their wits end.
But one of the worst | ever beard
of commenced one, winking at his
companions to look for a smasher.
Really the worst was on the Savannah
and Pensacola road in 1862. We ran
into coal train and not soul escaped.
No, not soul Every one was killed. y
There was moments pause, and
every one looked at the old man to see
how he would take it,
"Thank Godw he exclaimed fer.
vently. "Thank Godp
"What for? demanded the relator
of the story. What are you thanking
God for now?'
"To think you were killed on that
train" calculated the old gentleman,
rolling up his eyes. "If you had been
spared what liar you would have
been before you reached your present
age! Thank God for that disastcrl'
And after that they let him alone, for
he was an old man, and they knew he

he added
"Now gentlemen, would like your

Secretary Lincoln, who is a chip of
the old block, said:
"Mr. President, that reminds me.
There was once a very wealthy pork
packer in Chicago who was informed
that art was the correct thing. He
bought whole collection Then he
brought in a friend and said to him:

Who never runs her neighbors down
When she goes out 10 tea.
She never gossips after church
Of dresses or of hats;
She never meets the sewing school
And joins them in their spats.
She never talks of woman's rights
Nor is she so unkind.
Whene'er her husband stays out late,
To talk him deaf and blind,
She never beats a salesman down,
Nor asks for pretty plaques;
She never asks the thousand things

State Reading Circle.

The board of managers OF the State Reading
Circle decided yesterday to issue the annual GER
tiicates of examination in few days. The
minimum per cent will be sixty. Teachers may
be- examined in different branches separately,
and any person failing to pass in any branch
will be allowed an opportunity for re-examina-
ton. Four complete annual certificates will be re-
ceived by the managers in exchange for diploma.
The State Board of Education has agreed to
recognize Reading Circle diploma as equivalen9
to passing an examination in the science of
teaching All county superintendent will be
instructed by the Board of Education to receive
an annual Reading Circle certificate as
an equivalent for county examina-
ton in the science of teaching j. The
afternoon session was devoted to the considera-
ton of reports of examinations. A committee
OF three members of the board, including Prof
Mills, Mrs. McRae. and Mr. Skinner, was ap-
pointed to prepare address to the Teachers

A FRUITLESS CAUCUS.
Mr.. Spahr Withdraws from the Race for
City Attorney.

A caucus of Republican aldermen and council
men was held in the city attorneys Office last
night to consider the differences that have arisen
in regard to the succession to that Office. Mr..
Spahr's candidacy having been energetically op-
posed by two or three of his party confreres it
became evident that to secure the Office for Re
publican not the slightest break in harmonious
action must occur 1t is understood that
he expected Democratic help, but the pur-
pose of that party being so plainly shown in
favor of one of their own kind, change has
taken place in the Republican situation within
the last two days, resulting in last nights caucus.
All but three Prier. Cobb and Trusler, were
there The first two were out of town and the
latter unavoidably absent, but Alderman Pritch-
ard acted for him. Alderman Rorison pre-
sided, and the sitting continued an hour
and half The members were
very cautious in giving information. though they
assert that everything done contributed TO
unanimity of action henceforth. Mr. Spahr
withdrew from the candidacy. and Alderman
Pritchard made speech of some length, yet
when proposition was made to take some def
mite action at once in regard to the election
some opposed it, as the full party representation
in the two boards was not there. It was finally
decided to meet again at the call of the chair
man, each one signing written promise to re-
spond The meeting will occur doubtless early
in the week.

New York company for the spring and summer,
producing all of the principal plays in the roper

NJ. B. Curtis has a new comedy, written by
himself, entitled "Jeane Baptiste" which is de-
scribed by Mr. Curtis as "a French Canadian
play. full of good. strong situations, and plenty
of comedy element" Curtis's character will be a
sort of French Canadian Samuel of Posen, and
the dialect introduced will be one never before
heard on the stage. In one of the acts will be
introduced a scene from the Montreal carnival,
introducing the ice-palace and the first stage
representation of tobogganing"
