MISS HARRIET HOSMER.
The Most Distinguished Representative
 of Her Sex In Sculpture.


 Miss Hosmer was born in Water town, Mass, in 1888. Her father was a well-known physician, who, having lost wife and daughter by consumption, required his surviving daughter to live in the open air in the hope of strength ening her constitution. His plan suc- ceeded. Miss Hosmer is as rosy and vigorous as she is genial and suave. Her father builded better than he knew. In a clay-pit near their home she spent many hours amusing herself modelling animals and shaping in the docile medium any thing that pleased her fancy. She then studied anatomy with her father, who appreciated her gifts, and her anatomical drawings were notable for precision before she had been inside school-room. At sixteen she was sent to Mrs. Sedgwick's school. Thence she went to the studio of Stephenson in Boston. Friends in St. Louis becoming interested in her talents she proceeded West and entered the medical college of that city to per- feet herself in anatomy. She remained until she received diploma In 1851 Miss Hosmer modelled her first ideal, "Hesper," and the following year went to Rome, where she entered the studio of Gibson Her taste led her into classic precincts, and her earliest were "Daphne,n "Medusap and an ''Enone.n In 1855 she modelled a Puck More than thirty replicas have been ordered.

 at Coal Run, Pa.
 SHAMoKIN, Pa., Jan. 19.-Thomas Hague, of Coal Run, small mining village three miles east of this place, was whipped by White Caps Thursday night and thrown into creek with rope around his body until he was almost dead. Three miners on their way home from work approached the spot where the outrage was being perpetrated, and were compelled to stay on the scene until the White Caps had executed their vengeance, the leader in- forming the miners that one of the band had noticed Hague early in the evening attempting to commit an assault on girl coming to Shamokin. Great excitement prevails in this place and in Coal town ship. Yesterday morning number of townspeople received warnings to stop indulging in drunkenness, gambling, etc., or they would receive visit from the White Caps.

- COMMON POlITENESS.
It Costs Nothing, and Is Always Receives
 Gratefully by Every Body.

0rAtetutty uf Ifofy Dc'y' Common politeness is very simple, very easy, very cheap. It costs noth- ing in effort; it is no tax upon either the physical or mental powers; it is always gratefully received by polite people, and it gratifies giver as well us receiver. It makes all within the range of it's influence happier and bet ter, and it smooths many of the rough CT paths of life.
 Many intelligent and well-bred peo- pie are often uncivil for want of thoughtfulness, and they sometimes give good reason for offense, or for the assumption that they are uncivil, when they do not mean to be guilty of such an offense. Such persons are usually understood aud excused by their inti- mate acquaintances; but it is a mis- fortune to yield to the habit of even apparent rudeness It often grieves people whose respect is valuable, and it never accomplishes any good.
 The gravest complaints about in- civility often come against those who | dSSuIlG bp DC GACiiipiuiD VI pONhSuJ efhN good manners, and they are only too often just. So common is it for a lady to refuse the acknowledgment of the Ia0axtasx ,exteHded when a gentleman h1s4cen - " Stnr1n1S in a street car ] I1 Iu6r " sz5 lhaTs- abandoned that particalAr aetsef civility, except in cases where they know the lady, and they certainly have great proyoca- tion.
 It is not at all rare to see ladies of social distinction accept scat from gentleman without the semblance of acknowledgment, and in all such cases the gentleman must feel like re- senting the objectionable rudeness, for it is not simply want of civilty, it is the positive rudeness that can be as- sociated only with vulgarity. No true lady ever committed such a breach of common politeness. and it is only just to say that, as rule, only those who pose as ladies ever commit such fa- grant offenses against good breeding.
 The true lady or gentleman never forgets common politeness to all with whom they come in contact, and the surest sign of the social pretender is displayed in public incivility to others. The genuine lady or gentleman is always so we'll assured of her or his position that they dignify 1t by courtesy to others who merit it. regardless of condition or circumstance. while the upstart, uncertain of position, repeats upon others the snubs he or she has received in the effort to climb into social recognition.
 The true lady and gentleman are ever polite and courteous to all when those admirable qualities can be ex- hibited, and when those attributes are not exhibited on all proper occasions, it is always safe to assume that vul- garity is masquerading in the thin guise of the gentleness that ever marks the lady and the gentleman. --Phila- delphia Times,

 There is no real conflict between truth and poiiteness; what Is imagined to be such is only the crude mistake of those who fail to discover their har- mony. Politeness, taken in it's best sense, is the graceful expression of respect, kind feeling and goodwill.
 The true lady and gentleman are polite and courteous to all when those admirable qualities can be exhibited. and when those attributes arc not ex- hibited on all proper occasions, it is always safe to assume that vulgarity Is masquerading in the thin guise of the gentleness that ever marks the lady and gentleman.
 A long life may be passed without finding friend in whose understand ing and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value Nui once for it's justness and sincerity. A weak man, however honest, is not qualified to judge. A man of the world, however penetrating. is not fit to counsel. Friends are often chosen for similitude of manners, and there fore each palliates the others failings because they are his own. Friends are tender, and unwilling to give pain; or they are interested, and fearful to offend. --Dr. s. Johnson.

WHY Mr.. COX WAS CALLED
SUNSET

The production which won for Mr.
Cox the sobriquet of Sunset was a
piece of descriptive writing which ap-
peared in the Ohio Statesman May 10.
1858. and was entitled, a Great Old
Sunset" He was IN the composing
room of the Statesman the evening be-
fore and witnessed peculiarly beauti-
full sunset. AS the inspiration seized
him he picked up his pencil, and, using
a composing stone for desk, hurriedly
wrote the following:
"What peculiar sunset was that Of
last night How glorious the storm and
how splendid the setting OF the sun. We
do not remember ever to have seen the
ike on our round globe. The scene
opened in the west, with whole horizon
full of golden interpenetrating luster
which colored the foliage and frightened
every object into its own rich dyes. The
colors grew deeper and richer, until the
golden luster was transfused into a
storm cloud. full Of finest lightning,
which leaped in dazzling zigzags all
around and over the city. The wind
arose with fury, the slender shrubs and
giant trees made obeisance to its
ma iestv. Some even snapped before
grass plats turned up their whites 10 see
Zephyrus march by. As the rain came
and the pools and the cutters burned
away thunder roared grandly and the
fire bells caught the excitement and rang
with hearty chorus. The south and the
east received the copious showers, and
the west all at once frightened up IN a
long. polished bell Of azure, worthy Of q
Sicllian SKY.
Presently cloud appeared in the
azure belt in the form Of casselialed

strange forms of peerless flames and ala

Now that the federal court has Joined
the state court in declaring the proposed

state legislatures as in contravention of
the federal as well as state constitutions.
that matter ought to be regarded as
settled. If some legislative body can
devise law, that can be made to stick,
providing for the regulation of prices to
be charged for fresh meats by retail
dealers, the real cause of complaint as
far as the consuming public is concerned
will be removed. We have a notion
that this would also assist largely in re-
moving the vexatious cause of complaint,
i. e. low prices, on the part of the cattle
men. What is necessary for their bene-
fit is to increase the demand for the food
product, and nothing can do this so
promptly and effectively as reasonable
reduction in prices.
