CURIOSITY.
Impertinent Inquisitiveness and the RIgh
 of Silence.

Impertinent Inquisitiveness and the Righ
 of Silence.
 One of the most common vices Ol conversation is impertinent curiosity When this assumes a crude and palpable form it is considered vulgar, and this Odium is sufficient to banish it from what is called good society. It would be thought in very bad taste to assail a newly introduced acquaintance with queries as to his birth and pagentage, occupation and residence, income and expenditure, etc., however much in- formation may be desired Yet there is large amount of the very same ele- ment iii much of the conversation of even cultivated people, which, though more guardedly worded, is no less truly rude and impertinent than the most direct and Outspoken question.
 Every one has, or may be supposed to have private affairs, which he would prefer to discuss with no one except his intimate friends, and with them only at his own suggestion. What these affairs are, and how large an area they cover, depends entirely upon his own disposi- tiOn and temperament. Some men are naturally reserved, others outspoken. One would easily tell casual acquaint- rance things which another would not whisper to his dearest friend. In botb cases, however, and in which all lie be- tween, the principle S the same Pri. vate affairs, or what each one chooses to consider private, are private posses sions, which no one has a right to probe into, or to meddle with, unless invited to do so.-PtiJadelphiG Public Ledger.

 Engineer Spencer of the St. Louis Cable & Western railway owns large white and black setter, who is as quick at inter- preting signals as any of the men about the depot. Whenever he hears the engine bell he hastens to his post, no matter where he is, and will take his place by his master in the cab with his paws on the window, watching the track as attentively as the engineer himself. In his zeal to be up and doing he will sometimes catch the whistle rope in his teeth and make the signal for the crossings. In fact, his admirers say if he only had hands he could run the engine.

died Wednesday morning at half-pa5t one
O'Clock, OF cere5ro hemorrhage OF the brain.
He received medical attention at once, and
all possible efforts were made to save his life
by his brother Eidon and other friends, but
swiftly the death ange! did its work and the
noble young life of Edgar c. Overman had
left its clayey tenement to become the inhab
liant of a spiritual body, q house not made
with hands. Although not yet quite twenty
two years OF age, he was . young man who
had hosts of friends, and his geniality OF dis
position, honesty of purpose, and high moral
worth, would have given him q leading posi-
ton OF influence in his adopted county had
he been spared.
