HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS.

Directions That Should Be tudied aad
Adopted by Everv One.
The following directions for becom-
ing agreeable should be studied and
adopted by every one, and especially
merchants and their clerks:
Very rarely, if ever; young persons
acquire the ability to converse with
ease and fuency. This implies. first
of all. good ideas clearly and sensibly
expressed An empty mind never
makes a good talker; remember you
can not draw water out of an empty

self-possession. "Self-possession is
nine points in the law''-of good
breeding.
A good voice. is as essential to SELF
possession as good ideas are essential
to fluent language. The voice from
infancy should be carefully trained
and developed; a full, clear; flexible
voice is one of the surest indications
of good breeding; it falls like music
on the ear and while it plesses the
listener it adds to the confidence of its
possessor. be he ever so timid. Ono
may be witty without being popular.
voluble without being agreeable, a
great talker and yet a great bore. 1t
is wise then, to note carefully the fol-
lowing suggestions:
Be sincere; he who habitually sneers
at every thing will not only render
himself disagreeable to others. but will
soon cease to find pleasure in life.
Be frank; frank open counte-
nance. and clear, CHEEKY laugh are
worth more. even socially than ped
antry in stiff cravat"
Be amiable; you may hide a vindic-
tive nature under polite exterior
for a short time, as cat masks its
sharp claws in velvet fur. but the least
provocation brings out one as quickly
as the other; ill-natured persons are
always disliked.
Be sensible; society never lacks for
fools. If you want elbow room ':go
up higher"
Be cheerful; if you have no great
trouble OH your mind you have no
right to render other people miserable
by your long face and dollorous|tones.
If you do you will be avoided.
But above all. he cordial; true cordi.
ality unites all the qualities we have
enumerated. -Luray Breezes.

"A modern Lord Chesterfield in
Phil adelphia was lately giving his son
some advice about getting on in So
ciety. In answer to the question,
"What is the best subject to talk to a
lady about at ball?'' he replied:
Talk to her about her beauty"
But" said he, suppose she has no
beauty?' ':Ah, then," replied the ex.
perienced paterfa milias, talk to her
about the ugliness of the other women
present if you want to get on"
A noted doctor says of cigarettes:
If a BOY begins to smoke great deal
early in life you may be sure he will
never become an intellectual Saul. as
the effects on his body by affinity reach

the struggle of life. Cigarette smok-
ing is like whisky drinking; the appe-
tite for it increases just in proportion
as the body becomes unable to bear it.

That Purpose.
The State House commission met in the
Mayors Office last evening and talked up the
matter of repairs on the State House.
Hon. John a. Leeds gave the opinion of
ing the building when repaired for the free
public library. He said it was immaterisl to

would ask that the entire building be at their

of it to public halls, etc., he thought entirely
impracticable and incompatible with the re-
quirements of the library.
Mr. Leeds submitted to the commission
plans prepared by the committee, enbody
ing their ideas and desires and allowing the

had made no arrangement regarding the Civ

poses in view of possession. They had not

A FERRY STEAMER BLOWN UP

Thirty to Forty Lives Lost In she Ex-
plos1on-Fire Adds TO the Horrors
and Makes a Scene of Terror and
Confusion.
VALLEJO, Cal, Feb. PA disastrous ex-
Vallejo on the ferry steamer Julia plying be-
tween South Vallejo and Vallejo station, and
it is believed that from thirty to forty lives
were lest. The steamer was about to leave
her moorings few minutes after six O'Clock
and had about seventy persons on board,
many of whom were going across the strait
to work in the lumber yards on the other
side. just as the deck hands were hauling
in the lines there was loud explosion and
a sheet of fame shot in the air. Those
who were on deck at the time were hurled
overheard and several of them were killed
outright by flying pieces of the debris.
The most of the passengers were below the
decks at the time of the explosion and were
either killed outright or drowned when the
water poured in on them To add to the
horrors of the scene, large watts
of petroleum stored on the wharf
caught fire and the flames spread
rapidly Fifteen minutes after the explo-
freight depot and telegraph Office were burn
ing and not till noon was the fire under con-
troll While the iremen and others were
trying to save the wharf large number of
boatmen were rowing around the wreck
seeking to rescue bodies. Soon after the ex-
plosion occurred the steamer having burned
to the waters edge sank, carrying to the
bottom many victims who were buried under
the debris in the cabin. Up to late hour
this afternoon twelve bodies had been recov
cred two of whom were burned beyond recog
milton. The names of the other ten victims
are as follows Melvin Hodgkins, Joseph
Fragss, William Saman, olef Nelson, Alfred
Madison Michael Bradley, John Brevick, VIM.
Starck Edward Rule and man named Hig-
gins. The nam of probably less than half
the passengers who were on the steamer at
the time of the explosion are known,
making it ina possibl to tell how many sunk
with the wreck, but at least fifteen who are
known to have been on the steamer are still
missing. Captain Gedge of the Julia was
severely injured, as was also Charles Heath,
the pilot. Twelve others were also very badly
hurt.
The record of the Julia is a bad one and
this is not the first terrible accident that has
occurred on the steamer. In September, 1865,
the head of her boiler blew out, instantly
killing nine of the crew and fatally scalding
the clerk and another officer of the boat.
The cause of the disaster to-day is not
known, though 1t is believed that the explo-
sion occurred in the boiler. The impression
also prevails that the fire in some way
communicated to the petroleum tank and
that the explosion occurred in that quarter.
The steamer burned petroleum for fuel.

why No Performance Was Given At
the Hyperion Last Nfght-TWO Per.
fOrmanses To-Day, However.
No performance of "Lost IN New York;
was given at the Hyperion last night, as the
scenery did not arrive in time. The reason
of this was that the scenery and properties
were attached in New York on Saturday
night by Leonard Grover, the author of the
play. He claimed $4,000 royalty. Miles
& Barton said they owned the play. Will
liam T. Grover, brother of Leonard Gro
yer, acting for the latter, got out an injune-
ton last Wednesday restraining the removal
of the property out of New York State
Miles &c Barton got the injunction raised SO
that the scenery and properties could be
brought to this city. On Saturday William
L. Grover got out an attachment on the
property of the company for $500, claiming
that amount from his brother for services
rendered. When the constable arrived at
the Academy of Music in New York with
the papers of attachment it was nearly 10
O'Clock Saturday night and the scenery was
being packed to bring to this city. Manager
Bloom finally decided to pay the amount, as
he did not want to disappoint the New Ha-
ven people. It was just one minute past 10
o'clock and the constable refused to take the
money, as he said it would be illegal to take
it on Sunday. So there was quandary
The scenery remained at the Academy over
Sunday and the matter was settled yester-
day, but not in time for the scenery to ar
rive for the evening performance. A mat
inee performance will be given this after
noon and another evening.
