No Luck in Money Won on Bets.

met gentleman recently who told me that he never made but one bet in his life and although he won it yet the money brought him so much bad lnck that he never repeated the offence. It was made on a presidential election and he won $500. He was away from home at the time and he invested the money in a handsome set of furniture for his wife. Their home was being improved and this set of furniture would be a pleasant sur. prise to her
 The furniture was packed and shipped, but accident happened to the boat and it was tied up six weeks in hot port. When de- livered. it waa so much damaged that after removing the hansome marble tops the furniture was sent to cabinet shop for repairs.
 Shortly afterwards the shop took fire and the furniture was burned. on his return home, after hearing of the loss of the furniture he l found that one of the worismen had let something fall on one of the mar ble slabs and broken it. He thought he would finish the bnsi- ness, so he got sledge hammer and smashed the whole lot of mar. ble. His only son boy three years of age stood by to see the fun but stumbled and fell Oh a sharp piece ot marble. receiving a dangerous wound on his temple. He has grown to manhood, but will carry to his grave an ugly scar.-Courier Journal.

 The Imperial Canal of China is over 1000 miles long. In the year 1861 was completed the greatest undertaking of the kind on the European continent. the canal Languedoc, or Canal du Midi to connect the Atlantic with the Mediterranean. It's length is 40 miles, It has more than 100 locks and pout, 90 acqueducts and it's highest part no less than 600 feet above the sea. IL is navigable for vessels of owes 600 tons.

Good Advice.

The Manufacturers Gazette re. lates of Western railway compa- ny which gives the following advice to its employees, gratis. It is ap- plicable to employees ill all parts of the country:
 '.The servant man or woman who begins a negotiation for ser vice by inquiring what privileges are attached to the offered situa- ton, and whose energy is put chiefly in stipulations, reservations and conditions to lessen the bur. den will not be found worth u e hiring The clerk whose last plaC e was too hard for him has a poor introduction to a new sphere of duty. There Is only one spirit that ever achieves a grand success. The man who seeks only how to make himself most useful, whose aim is to render himself indispens. ble to his employer, whose whole being is animated with the pur- pose to fill the highest possible place in the walk assigned to him has in the exhibition of that spirit the guatantee of success. He commands the situation and shall walk ia the light of prosperity all his days. On the other hand the man who accepts the unyholesome advice of the demagogue and seeks only how little he may do, and how easy he may render his place and not lose his employment altogeth. CT Is unfit for service; as soon as there IS a supernumerary on the list, he becomes disengaged as least valuable to his employer The man who Is afraid of doing toe much IS near of kin to him who seeks to do nothing, and was begol in the same family. They arc nei- ther of them in lhe remotest de gree relation to the man whose willingness to do everything pos sible to his touch places him at the head of the active list.'

Get Ahead of the Commodore.

An amusing story is told of the way in which w. H. Vanderbilt Overreached his father the commo dore. William wanted manure from the Fourth Avenue car sta. bles for his Staten Island iarm, and asked his father what he would charge him fer ten loads.
 !" Wbat'll you give," asked the commodore.
 "Its worth s4 a load to me,n said the farmer.
 Good enough, I'll let you have 1t for that" answered the railroad man, having a decided impression that the price was at least as mnch as the stuff was worth.
 Next day he found his rustic son with scow just loaded for home
 "How many loads have you got on that scow, Billy asked the commodore in excellent humor.
 "How many" repeated his son feigning surprise; 'one of course"
 "One, why there's at least thirty" the old gentleman exclaimed, in- specting it curiously.
 No, father, l never put on but one load on a scow-one scow load. Cast off the lines, Pat"

Maids Who Would Marry.

The orders which are received from the board of education at the public schools are sometimes amu- sing, and are frequently character ized by the teachers as ridiculous, On Friday the principal of one of the grammar schols of Yorkville received an order to know whether any of the teachers had been mar. lied in the last year. The prin- cipal noted the necessary questions on peices of paper and sent them to the several teachers with a re question their answers. When these answers were returned one of them said: "No, but ready" An other was: "No, but anxious to-" One well advanced in years said: "Waiting for a chance" The next a bright charming young lady, "Willng to-" Single blessedness is good enough for me" said one who had just been tilted.

"Well, my boy don't depend on your own strength to take you to the top again. or to keep you there when you get there, but never OK pose yourself needlessly to temp tation."

GOOD MANNERS.
A Few Things one Should or
 Should Not Do.

The following sensible hints on etiquette are taken from Good Housekeeping:
 X first call from a new acquain- tance should be speedily returned.
 Great pains should be taken by d hostess to introduce shy peo. pie.
 A mistress should inform her servants what they are to say 10 all corners.
 One card a year left at tn 6 door or one sent in an euvelop contin- ues the acquaintance.
 In calling on the sons or daugh- ters, every visitor should have a card for the father and mother.
 Introducing should not be indis- criminately done, at home or in society, by any lady however kind hearted.
 If one lady desires to be intro duced to another, the hostess should ask if she may do so, of course unObstrusively.
 There is no necessity of calling after tea or general reception if orc has attended the festiyity or has left or sent on that day.
 No gentlemen should ever be introduced to a lady unless her permission has been asked, and she be given an opportunity to re- fuse.
 In her own house a hostess should always extend her hand to a person brought to her by a mu- tual friend and introduced for the first time.
 Strangers staying in town, who wish to be called upon, should send their cards by post with ad dressed attached 10 those whom they would like to see.
 Not at home" is a proper tor. mula if ladies are not receiving: nor does it involve a falsehood. Ii merely means that the lady is not at home to company .e
 Cards of condolence must be re turned by mourning card sent ir an envelop at such reasonable time after the death of a relative as ont can determine again to take up tn, business of society.
 A lady who is fully aware of hcl own responsibility, who has always lived in the best society, is never afraid to bow or call first. or to in. troduce the people whom she may desire should know each other.
 CercnOnious visiting is tn, machinery b! which an acquain tance IS kept up III circle tot large for social visiting, but ever, lady should try to make one oI two informal calls each winter ol intimate friends
 In America it is the fashion tt shake hands, and most women, i desirous Ot being cordial, extend their hands, even on a first intro tion; but it is, perhaps, more ele gant to make bow only at a frs introduction. fl... A lady has right to leave her card without asking for the lady of the house, if it is not her day, ol if there is any reason such as bao weather, pressure of engagements or the hke-which renders time ar important matter.
 A disagreeable woman can al ways find precedeuts for being formal and chilling, a fine temper ed woman can always find reasons enough for being agreeable.
