Good Manners.-uood manners are
not so common as to be Of 40 weight in
society, like good spelling or good Eng
fish. One may be rich as the Rothsc-
hilds, M may be highly educated, and
not possess them, or one may have
them in a degree. The Due de Morny's
definition of polite man was, cone who
listens with interest TO things he knows
all about, when they are told by a person
who knows nothing about them;" but
this is but one phase of his character.
Good are more seryiceable
than a passport than a bank account, or
a lineage. They make friends for US
they are more potent than ~eloQuence
and genius without them. They un,
doubtedly spring from a kind heart, and
are the dictates Of good humor. They
are not something to be learned from
fashion news and books of etiquette
they are not imported or borrowed.
The good-mannered person does not
tell US our failing, does not lectere us
he does not merely wear his manners
not because they are becoming or pol
itic, but because he can no more exist
without than without air. They resem
bic the antique painted glass of Albert
Durer's day, in which the colors were
not laid on, but stained through; they
are a part of his character they are as
much a gift as poetry is to another, or
the inventive faculty. There are those
who may be said to have a positive
genius for them, as another has for

Henry George On The Mills Bill.

WAsnINGToN. July Henry George
was an interesting figure at the Capitol
yesterday. In discussing the question
of tariff reform and the prospect of the
Mills bill in Congress Mr. George said
"Of course, this bill will never become a
law. 1t will pass the House, but 1t will
be killed in the Senate. 1t will have
served its purpose, nevertheless, and no
one should mourn its fate. 1t Is only a
step in the right direction, and 1t is better
for the cause that it should not pass.
History shows that concession from the
opposition has always weakened a cause
and In great fights compromises are
always to be feared
