CONVERS ATION.
The Vain Talker a Greater Bore Than

The Vain TaIler a Greater Bore Than
the One Who Says Nothing.
The art of conversation consists in the
exercise of two fine qualities. You
must originate, and you must sympa-
thize-you must possess at the same
time the habit of communicating and
listening. The union is rare, but ire
sistible, says writer in the Jenness-
Miller Quarterly.
The quality of turning men into ridi-
eule, and exposing those we converse
with, is the qualification of little, I'M
generous tempers. The greatest blem-
ishes are often found in the most shin
ing characters; but what an absurd
thing it is to pass over all the valuable
parts of man and fix our ate ntion
upon his infrmities-to discern his in.
firmities-to discern his imperfections
more than his virtues!
The good conversationalist is doubt
less a most agreeable man; and, beyond
peradventure, a man who can't talk at
all has no business in society; but one
should not speak before he has time to
think, and to say what is consistent.
The vain, improbable talker, who is
never sound or sincere in anything that
he says, is a greater bore in any social
circle than the man who says nothing
at all. The former helps to corrupt un.

Maryland Traditions.

Odd and romantic family traditions
abound on the eastern shore of Mary
land. The ancestor of the Prideaux, a
Huguenot family now nearly or quite
extinct, is said to have landed in Mary
land by accident, having escaped from
a shipwreck OH a chicken coop. The
Robinses account for the presence Of
their near relatives, the Purnells, by
the legend of one Poor Nell, a depend
ent of the Robins family, while the
Spences take pride in the belief that
their ancestor fed from Scotland after
signing the Solemn League and Cove
nant. Then there is the story of the
hciress who was literally "worth her
weight in gold" no great fortune in
these days, and it is only a few years
since cash in monster tree near
Snow Hill was accounted for by the

LIVING MADE EASY.
Titled English People Who Live High |
and Run Big Accounts.

Titled English People Who Live High
and Run Big Accounts.
Speaking of English peculiarities,
there is no place on earth where the
fnancier becomes so puzzled to know
how the great folks manage to live,
says writer in the Illustrated Amer
lean. There is the fat, genial, witty old
Duchess of Tech, penniless, as every
one knows, bankrupt, in debt, and yet
money flows through her plump hands
like water, and no strawberry leaves
rest on more unfurrowed brow.
She-the rotund duchess-is said to
be the brightest talker in Great Brit
ain, and strings her enormously stout
neck and arms with glorious jewels,
worth a kings ransom. It is we'll
enough to believe that densely dull or
over-ambitious tradespeople are willing
to supply ducal establishment for the
prestige such patronage bestows, but
surely with so lavish lady as her
grace Of Tech the price would be too
high for any one establishment to bear
any great length of time.
But then titled English people thrive
on debt. Men and women are scarcely
counted fashionable who pay as they
go; and as all of ones acquaintance
and friends are in the same condition
there is nothing to be ashamed of or
worry over in owing twice the value Of
ones entire property.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
A New England Road Brakeman Killed
at East Han tfnrd

"A New England Road Brakeman Killed
at East Han tford.
Michael Conner, New England road
brakeman, was killed in a collision in
the East Hartford yards yesterday.
A desperate attempt at self destruc-
ton occurred Thursday night on the
Housatonic road short distance from
Bridgeport. An unknown man, a
stranger in the locality, threw himself
in front of the passenger train which
reaches this city at $40, and was pulled
from the track just in time to escape
being ground to atoms, by two
young farmers named Searles and
Allen. The man was about As years of
age, short, slightly built and of sandy
complexion. He had been noticed about
the place for several days.
Hugh O'Hara, 70 years of age, was
found dead, yesterday afternoon in a
corner of field near the old Caldwell
pond, in Pennington, on the New Brit
ain road. The LoGy was discovered by
men returning from work on the reser-
vOir. The medical examiner of Farm
ington was summoned, and found that
death was caused by intoxication and
exposure. O'Hara was seen during the
day where his body was found. He had
been a vagrant for ten years about
Pennington.
