Good Manners.

Never try to outshine, but to please.
Never press q favor where it seems
undesired. ~. =.
Never intrude ill-health, pains, losses
or misfortunes.
Never unsvoidsbly wound the feelings
of a human being.
Never talk or laugh aloud in public
places or upon the street.
Never forget that Yulgarity has its
origin in ignorance Of selishuess.,
Never urge another to do anything
against his desire unless yon see danger
before him.
Do not ask another to do what you
would not be glad TO do under similar
circumstances.
Never omit to perform act when it
can be done with any reasonable amount
of exertion.
Never needlessly wound the vanity of
another or dilate unnecessarily upon dis
agreeable subjects.
Do not make witticism at the expense
of others which you would not wish to
have made upon yourselvelves.
Remember that good manners are
thoughts filed with kindness and refine
ment and then translated into behavior.
Be not ostentatious in dress or deport-
ment; nothing can be more vulgar. See
that costumes fit the time and occasions.
Be rude to none; rudeness harms not
only the humblest and poorest to whom
it is directed, but injure, the exhibitor.
Never treat superiors with servility CT
interiors with arrogance. Speak as kindly
to day laborer rs to one occupying
high position.
Always give precedence to elders, visi-
tors anu superiors. Offer them the best
seat at the table, the best place by the
fre and the first of everything. Go
farther than mere form and see that they
are comfortable and happy.

STEERING cLEAR OF POLITICS.
In the ANALYSIS attempted and the
frank criticism permitted to myself in
the discussion of existing legislation for
the advancement of our agriculture, I
have not alluded to certain amendments
to that legislation which sre agitating
the public mind. This is not the occa-
sion to do 80. There are occasions when
it is proper, when this matter should
and will be by all of US fully discussed,
and whatever conclusion is then reached
sincerely trust will prove in the best
interest of the calling we have so much
at heart. Farmers are citizens and best
discharge the duties of citizenship In
watchful attention and close scrutiny OF
all legislation-much more Of that which
bears directly upon them as class.
But this agitation has drifted into that
phase of politics in which the proposed
amendments are made the shibboleth OF
Office, and men are to be voted for or
not, according to the views they enter
tsin. To this there is no special objsc-
ton, and it may be the mode essential
to ascertaining the popular will; but
having assumed that phase it seems to
me the discussion is not suitable, here.
1t will be sad day for the farmers in.
stitutes when they are made the arena
upon which the ofice-seeker can fight
his battle, however specious the pretext
that permits it.
And now, proud of our common call
ing, sympsthizing with every honest
effort in its behalf, and believing that in
this We are moving in the right direc-
ton, I declare the first State Farmers
Institute opened, and pray Gods bless
ing upon it.

BROUGHT DOWN AT LAST.
(Philadelphia Times, Aug. 2s.)

When the bull reached Fifteenth and
Market streets he was in rocky condition.
The police and one or two armed citizers
had fred a hundred shots at him, and
twenty five of them had taken effect in his
body. At the corner the bull fell to his
knees and virtually gave up the fight.
Officer Jackson, who had outstripped the
other combatants, put bullet into the
bulls eye. He cried triumphatly, as the
animal kicked his last, II kilt him. and
there was general rejoicing. The news of
the victory spread and thousands poured
forth from neighboriDg stores and other
places of shelter and exultingly surrounded
the fallen foe. Many of them limped and
had dirt on their clothes. The dead bull
was dragged into the Pennsylvania freight
depot, where an officer, who had not taken
part in the fight, stood guard over him:
The police do not think that the owner will
appear to claim the carcass.
