sunday Services.

Father Murphy conducted chapel services Sab
bath morning. He opened the services by reading
from book treating of the doctrine of the Cath
Ollie church. The scrptural readings were from
ST Paul and st. Luke. The sermon upon the
soul. At the beginning of the sermon he said:
cross of shame and sorrow. He came to teach us
the road which must travel. All are
called and all may be saved on the one condition.
that we must initiate our blessed Lord. We must
home forever, whose happiness the eye hath not
seen nor the ear heard What must we do then?
We are full of sin, full of passion We must do
penance: we must restrain passions This is
Christ; he had not pillow wherein to lay his
head.
THE soul is the only thing you have that is
yours. Every thing else you possess is only yours
you and it will go out with you
The value of the soul and its immortal charac-
ter were the subject of greater part of the ser
mon. Then followed the entreaty to prepare for
its immortal home by making every worldly thing
subservient to the will of God.
After the sermon Father Murphy announced
that Archbishop Ireland would be here within the
next two months and spend the day. He will hold
confirmation services in the morning and will
lecture in the afternoon.

Advantages of Good Manners,

The success or failure of ones plans have
often turned upon the address and manners
of the person. Although there are few peo-
pie who can overlook the manners of others.
yet the majority judge person by his APP
pearance and demeanOr. Experiences of
everyday life teaches, if we would only
learn. that civility is not only one of the
essentials of success. but that it is almost a
fortune in itself. With it one will succeed.
without it one must fail. Not only in So
ciety, but in every class of life. in all pro-
LESSONS and occupations, good manners are
necessary to success Manners are, in fact.
minor morals; and a rude person, although
well meaning. is avoided by all. The man
ner in which a person does thing furnish
eS better index to his character than what
he says, for it is by his looks, tones and
gestures rather than by his words and
deeds. that we judge him.
Charming manners only enhance beauty
but even hides ugliness and makes plain
ness agreeable. Pleasing manners have
made the fortunes of many, instances of
which can be recalled by almost any person.
The cultivation of pleasing manners should
be an important part of our education. To
acquire that ease and grace which is pos
SeSSed by, and which distinguishes every
wellbred person. we must think of others
rather than ourselves, and study to please
even at our own Inconvenience. One of the
marked tests Of character is the manner in
which we conduct ourselves towards others.
1t is a very true saying that person with
money can 90 into the best society. If they
have bad manners they are never success,
no matter how worthy they may be.
Good manners are nothing more than
good behavior; they are not learned so much
as they are acquired by habit. A person
should be courteous. agreeable and kind at
home. and then it will become kind of
second nature everywhere.
There are great many pretty, engaging
ways which every person may practice
without being considered affected. There
is a certain softness of manner which, either
in man or woman. adds charm which
always makes up for a lack of beauty.
This cultivation of pleasing ways should
not be neglected. as, ''Manners make the
man''-an old but true proverb.--E. A. in
Wolfe Hall Banner.

Death of George Anderson.

Rough on Rats seems to be favorite method,
of late. for those who have become weary of the
trials and tribulation of this vale to transport
themselves to the realms of the great unknown.
and to keep pace with the Geo. Anderson.
who serving a seven years senten ce for horse
stealing, chose this means of Kidding himself of
life which to him had become uncomfortable.
Anderson went to his work usual Saturday
morning. and shortly after handed to his guard,
MIR. John Nunan package of letters with the re-
quest that if anything should happen to him to-
day. they should be forwarded to the address of a
Minneapolis lady which the package.
In reply to the question of what the matter
with him he replied. Nothing" Shortly after he

being sent for Anderson was taking to his cell.
where he admitted to the deputy and Steward
Hall that he had taken tablespoonful of Rough
on Rats. When told that it would be rough on him
he replied that that was what he wanted He was
taken to the hospital and DR.. Pratt sent for when
proper remedies were administered, but to no
avail, and after lingering in agony till 4 O'Clock
p. M death which he had so desperately and sue
cessfully courted came to his release.
He remained conscious up to 3:15 p. H., but all
efforts to learn how he obtained the deadly poison
were unavailing. 1t is thought some friends may
have brought it to him on the plea that he wanted
to poison rats. If that is the case he must have
had it in his possession some time. as it has been
several months since he has had visitors.
Anderson native of Holland. about 43
years Of age, and so far as known has no relatives
in this country. He was generally looked upon
by those who were intimately acquainted with him
as harmless crank" and he certainly was off
at times. year ago he got the idea into his head
that he was to be pardoned, and gave away all of
his cell ornaments 1t is claimed by some that he has
not been treated fairly by certain alleged friends
in Minneapolis. who had held out strong hopes to
him of a pardon, and it is thought the knowledge
that came to him of their insincerity lead to the
rash act which ended his life. He was inferred in
the convict lot in Oak View cemetery Sunday.

Who Wants to Buy a Jail!

1t is reported that Black Hawk county
has All empty Jail at Lap rte for sale. There
is no doubt about the jairs being empty,
though there may be as to it's being for sale.
But it would not be surprising if several
counties in Iowa with empty jails upon
their hands wanted to get rid of them as
useless property. The enforcement of pro-
hibition is the explanation of empty jails.
The people of Iowa have come to the con-
clusion that it is good deal better and a
good deal cheaper to have empty jails with
out saloons than crowded jails with them.
Under the old system the placard ''for
sale'' used to be put up over the working
mans shop, his store or his little home.
But since the saloon has closed the placard
has come down, and now it hangs over the
empty Jail. Iowa believes in closing saloons,
buying school houses and selling jails.-

How to Save the Library Books.
June IL, 1883

Editor Mirror:
l would like to make suggestion regard to
our library books. We have splendid library
now; most all the noted authors are represented.
There are many reading the same book, no
matter how careful may be. the threads
will become slackened and the leaves loose. The
consequence is the book is all to pieces in a year
or so. and leaves missing. that no one will
care to read it. What wish to suggest is this:
Why not have small book bindery connected
with the library? The necessary tools would not
cost over SIS, and any could soon learn to
repair the books All the weekly papers and
magazines that are presented to the library could
be bound in book form, an the books would last
many years, and would always he in good repair.
1t would be money saved in the long rum and the
prison would have. in five years, one of the neat
est libares in the state. | have seen this book
binding in similar institutions, and it sue
cess Books thus kept in repair would last fifteen
years. F.M.

This is n Lucky Year.

Perhaps it never occurred to you that years
with three eights in are lucky years. They
don't come often, only once in a thousand
years, but it is lucky person who lives to
see one of them. There is an old Chaldean
superstition that year with three Fights is
one of unlimited blessings. None but lucky
stars are in the ascendancy, fields blossom
with abundant harvest, the cattle are low
ing on thousand hills, shepherds lead
their tlocks through green pastures and by
still waters, and business enterprises prosper
everything you touch turns to gold want
and famine skulk in their hiding places until
these days of universal prosperity are over.
Pestilence seals his lips and no foul breath
poisons the atmosphere; mirth holds high
carnival and for twenty moons sorrow and
signing shall flee away. Those who have
faith in this ancient superstition will derive
additional comfort from that construction OF
the figures in this year. There are three of a
kind and one spot. 1t is not the best ar
rangement of the figurative symbolzation
that could be made made, yet it is better than
anything that will be done in the next thou
sand years.
