THE New York Sun thinks that
dakota should wait until the people
from all poctions Of the Territory are
fully represented and the forms pre-
scribed in such cases have been OBJ
served. There is nothing exceptional
in the condition of the Territory to
justify a departure from the common
rule Of an enabling act as a prepare
tory step for coming into the Union. =

SENATOR INGALLS,, of Kansas, backs
Senator Beck in his position on the
silver question. Senator ingalls,. says:
1t is unquestionably true that the en-
tire bonded debt of the United States
is lawfully payable in its silver coin.
The silver dollar was legal coin when
The bonds were issued. and, if there is
an excess of silver dollars in the treas
ury the natural inquiry suggests itself
why the President and Secretary Of
the Treasury do not apply it to the
payment of that portion of the public
debt" Mr.. ingalls, further says: That
"instead of favoring a temporary sus-
pension Of silver coinage, he would
rather have full coinage; and, If the
issue be forced, does not doubt that
Congress would favor the deposit Of
silver bullion in the Treasury and the
issue of silver certificates at a stated
market value which should be legal
tender" "Rather than add anything
more to the silver dollar" he says,
"he would rather eliminate a little
gold from the gold dollar" He fur
ther says: "He thinks the free coinage
of silver would promote an equaliza-
ton between gold and silver"

p2LTENEss OF SOME PEOPLE
~ Broad Distinction Between Heal
n Conventional Good Breeding.

~ Broad Distinction Between Heal
and Conventional Good Breeding.
Mrs. John Sherwood, In her admirable
book IN manners, draws very happily
tle distinction between real and COnyen-
tional good breeding. That The distinc-
ton is a real one, unhappily. admits Of
controversy. The politenes, of some
people consists entirely of taking off and
putting on again their hats. In other
words they, are pleased to be courteous
simply as a formal matter, and would
instantly resent any claim on their at
tentiOn that involved the slightest sacri-
lice OF bodily ease or mental self-com-
placency. In a society like ours, that
owes its growth rather tOaccretions from
without than to its own natural dvelop-
ment, this curious anomaly of coarseliess
and refinement is particularly apparent.
Why was it that at certain houses last
winter the hostess felt compelled not 10
AfgSlish any wines for the mems dressing
Simply because many men were
Etterly devoid Of the conmonest sense
eof decorum that they could not be trusted
to behave themselves like gentlemen, if
temptation was placed in their way. And
~ NJ OlO VI bllSoC odlllC 1OuIlE lutU
would have dreamed of committing the
objectionable crime of wearing a white
satin tie or of emitting to even up their
social obligations by making their formal
calls a week after. They were al well
versed in the rules of conventional
etiquette, and us far as those rules could
guide them they were beyond reproach.
1t was only on that higher ground, where
formal etiquette ends and where true
courtesy begins, that they could not be
trusted to stand alone.
But it is not necessary to cite such
gross violations of good taste to establish
the point at issue. The man who accepts
an invitation out and then proceeds to
abuse the hospitality he is receiving, who
commentator the cider-like quality of the
champagne, calls the c~hicken-salad veal,
and unhesitatingly Identifies the terrapin
with its distant relation, the plebian
turtle, can any one call him a gentleman,
in spite of the polish Of his outward ap-
APPEARANCE and the correct cut Of his
AQthes? He is conventionally well bred,
UcN43aat is all, and, moreover, he can
never be anything more.
The well worn quotation, "Poeta
nascitur o fit" is as applicable to gen.
tlemen in the generic sense as to poets.
There are few men who pride themselves
on their good breeding who would fail in
the ordinary civilities during an after
noon walk on the avenue, and yet they
would feelthat they had been deprived of
a rightful privilege if they were not al
lowed to obstruct the Hobbies Of public
places of amusement or the vestibules of
churches for the purpose Of staring mod
est women out Of countenance. It
reminds one Of the Italian banditti who
never fail to invoke the pious offices of
the church before proceeding IN their
cheerful errands of robbery or murder

4 True Picture.

To THE EDITOR: Two boys in this neigh
borhoOd, Tom and Sam, were going to school
together when the war began. Tom enlisted
in the first call for three months troops, re-
enlisted for three years. and re-enlisted again
for three years or during the war. he was
discharged after having faithfully done his
duty from first to last. When he comes home
he fluids he has lost four years of schooling, and
he is now old enough to see how much he
stands in need of il. But no; be is man and
thinks his four years of war ought 70 entitle
him to a wife. So, like other men, he hunts
her up and settles down TO hard work, 20 try
to build him up a little home of his own. But
he soon finds that wages are decreasing year
by year, while his family and expenses are GO
ing the other way. At the age of IS lie fluids he
is an old man, with rheumatics, lame back, and
lots of other things he was not looking for so
soon. Now he must keep his largest children
from school to help him earn a scanty living,
for times are so hard that three mems work
will hardly earn one mans wages.
But how about that other fellow. Sam is
still here has good farm, and is doing well.
Wages were high during the time Tom WIS
working and fighting for Uncle Sam; so he
put in every lick for the dollars and saved
them, for he was at home; did not need to lay
out money very extravagantly, and when times
got hard he was in shape so that his money
would bring him good returns invested in
sheep cattle, etc Now TOMS children go to
the little schOol-hOuse with his. But see the
difference-Sam's are well dressed and well
fed, Toms not so much so. Why is this? Tom
has been sober, industrious, and honest. Well.
Tom has this much that Sam has not-an hon
orable discharge from the army and clear
conscience. That is good grand, and patriotic,
but it wont buy food and clothing for this
hard Winter. How many thousands of cases
there are like this!-A. J. BOBo, Co. ID, I'd

If the news from Headquarters this week
seems meager we trust none will think the Ma
tional officers idle. As our Order increases
work multiplies, and it is hoped that the newly
elected Department Presidents will realize the
Importance OF making prompt and correct re-
turns to National Headquarters, as when re-
ports are returned for correction it necessarily
causes q delay of days, and sometimes weeks,
before the returns are fully in. There are n
large number of Reports of Proceedings of Third
National Convention ON hand, and for mission
airy purposes, perhaps, there is no better way
OF informing comrades or Posts rs to our work
than to issue these reports where our Order is
but little known.
Mrs l.. A. Turner, Senior Vice-President of
the Department of Massachusetts,, reports the
institution of Corps No. Co. auxiliary to H. M.
Warren Post. ~ GAR. in the town of Wake
field. The Corps starts out with 76 charter
members present at institution, is well Off
cered and bids fair to be one of the best Corps
in the State. Mrs. Anderson, the President, is a
bright-faced, pleasant lady, who would bring
sunshine into any gathering. The Corps was
instituted and officers installed by Mrs. Tur-
ner, ably assisted by the Department Chaplain,
Mrs. Mary E. Knowles. Corporal Tanner was
present at the installation and made one of his
eloquent, ringing speeches, that was highly APP
preciated and loudly appauded by the comrades
OF the Post, who were present IN body.
Speeches were also made by the Post Com
mander, A. s. Anterior, Past Dept Chaplain
John Lee, comrades of the Post, and Mrs Tur-
ner, Mrs. Knowles closing the evenings en-
tertainment with fine recitation.
Past COMMUNICATIVE Chief Paul Van Der
WORT, National Honorary member of the
W.R.C., who has been in Boston for a few weeks,
has visited several Posts of the GAR. and
Corps, and has done much good work by his
earnest words always awakening new interest
wherever he speaks.
Mrs o. Daniel President of G. A. Angel
Corps, No. II. Lambertville, Mass, writes of
the great interest being taken by that Corps IN
the working of the Order, and although this
Corps is the youngest in the State, and only
organized last month, it already Outnumbers
many of the older Corps, and some of them will
have to look to their laures, or they will be
left in the forward march which is predicted
for the Order during the coming year in New
Jersey. Already there are many notes sounded
along the line, looking to the organization of
new Corps in the State, which, although one of
the smallest in the Union, isa worker. ECHO.

A MEMORIAL.

On the death Of hrs. Lizzie anderson.
Thine was the spirit OF the dove. Thou hast
His heavenward pinions now, and clearing, far
The dark clouds which divide rs, thou hast gone
Into thy native atmosphere of light,
Without speck of earth upon thy wing
As one who, from dark and toilsome way,
Energies with light, and sees above
The bright, blue sky, and feels the generous air
Inviting and assuring-so has thou,
Fair spirit passed the narrow ordeal through
Surmounted the sharp rocks, overcome the nights,
And through the thorny thickets that kept back
Hast gone i'll triumph with unloitering feet;
Thou iidst not live as lives the humming bird,
Dressed in the colors of the eastern bow,
Moving, in sunshine, and RECALLED on flowers.
Duty thine, and well was II performed
And having lived to noble Order
Bud, blossom, and bear fruit thou vast content
ITO lie down by the waysde, piliowing thy head
Upon thy burdens" then death kissed thine eye
lids down."
And thus the silver cord was loosened that bound
thy heart
To life and loved ones round theei
The sweet reward is thine! Thine eye beholds
The blessed path before thee. The blue sky
Drawn wide like some rich curtain that concealS
glorious presence, opens, and within,
Joint heirs of grace with thee, myriads of forms,
All uStrous in their white, beckon thee
To thy best home and dear inheritance.

hen and Beasts.

There is class of people who pro-
gress with a meal something after this
fashions: A long draught of coffee, tea,
milk or water, as the case may be, be-
gins the performance; this is followed
by mouthful Of something solid; only
a mouthful, however, for the stream is
turned on again down the throat. A
glass of water disappears; then the food
is attacked and voraciously; again the
stream. Once more attention is given
to the food, but always the stream has
the first consideration. We silently
ask, and wonder how long the man can
stand it. To say nothing of the utter
disregard of the laws of health in thus
eating and drinking simultaneously, it
is an absurd spectacle!
A tired, over-heated man drinks twice
as much water as he needs, first, because
he is SO tired he doesn't know what he
is doing till he sees the bottom of the
glass; and second, because his blood is
at boiling mark, and the sudden chill is
delightful, and he would prolong it till
his capacity to swallow gives out. For
the same reason he drinks rapidly, that
the succession of chills may lower his
temperature as speedily as possible
And then he goes out to his stable,
John, be sure to give Black Prince no
water just yet. Rub him down well,
John, and cool him off slowly. Mar

Adding a Tint to the Rainbow.

Quite a discussion is going on among
Washington society bellies as to the best
thing for the complexion. One young
lady, whose skin is a marvel of purity,
tells her friends that she uses nothing
but rainwater on her face, arms, neck,
and hands. She ascribes her beautiful
complexion entirely to the rainwater,
with plenty of good out-of-door exer-
else. She has her followers; but there
is another lady, with equally as fine 4
skin. who laughs at the rainwater idea,
and says she wipes her face with piece
of fine flannel dipped in warm water,
morning and night, and, instead of
drying with Il towel, she presses her
skin to keep it soft and pliable. This
lady also prescribes out-of-door exercise.
One thing i certain; neither of the pre-
scriptions can harm any one. which is
more than can be said of the toilet pow
ders which some ladies use so disas-
trously. Some of them have reached
the stage 50 that they never 90 without
a bit of chamois-skin covered with
powder. which they deity conceal in
their handkerchief. The lady who
carefully wipes her face with her hand
kerchief in Il public place will do SO I'M

How to Brush the Teeth.

This is a matter of no small impor-
lance Most people brush across the
teeth from right to left. This manner
OF brushing will not remove the accu-
mutations from between them, but
tends rather to force the debris into the
interstices. The brush should be placed
against the teeth at the gums, and ro-
tated toward the nftsticating surfaces.
1t will thus act somewhat like a bundle
of tooth-picks. In order to make the
work ehectual, the brush should be
applied, as described, both inside and
outside of the teeth, and also upon the
grinding surfaces of t.e double teeth.
The mouth should then be thoroughly
rinsed with tepid water.
Representative Heard of Missouri is a
