Courtesy and Good Manners.


New York Ledger.
The term, "good Manners" is in
common acceptation used to cover the
treatment of others. Employed in
this way, it comprehends everything
affable, courteous and polite. In tn Q
strictest sense of the term, courtesy
signifies the manners and department
OF courts, where politeness and q Ger.
tain amount of ceremoniousness to
come sort of second nature. A man
may be illiterate and yet be affable
and in certain sense polite, but It is
1t is somewhat doubtful il he
would be considered courteous unless
he had been 80 81 tuated that he
could learn the manners and usapes
of good society. Politeness and cour.
tesy are not natural gifts, nett is
good manners. There is sort of
aightf0rward frankness which Ia
sometimes found in the widest re.
gions Of earth and among the most
unlettered peasautry. But this comes
of native grace and perfect uncoes
sciousness of rules and regulations.
Take this same person into polite &c.
ciety and his manners would be any.
thing but admirable, judged by the
accepted rules of good breeding.
Affability is, strictly speaking, q rea.
diness to talk even with Strangers.
and belongs to the free.and easy. hail
fellew-well met part of creation.
Courtesy is dignified and cultivated
offer for exchange of civilities and
never verges on familiarity. It con.
tains certain element of reserve.
and may be almost austere and still
be the purest courteousness. NJ =.
ate is by some authors defined -.eer-
norant, unlettered, with as 1g'
ledge OF books, but the out Know
ties define IL as M oest authorl-

position may be courteous, but it is II
this case the veneer of culture which
max es him so.

Pears
Soap

Beauty is but skim
deep" was probably
meant to disparage beau
ty. Instead it tells how
easy that beauty is to
attain.
"There is no beauty
like the beauty of health "
was also meant to dispar-
age. Instead it encour-
ages beauty.
Pears Soap is the
means of health to the
skin, and so to both these
sorts of beauty.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

STILL HAKpING on SYRACUSE.

Republicans and Democratic opponents OF
Mr.. Cleveland have been knit together in one
common bond Of fellowship in their ominous
predictions about the effect OF the action of
the Syracuse Con yention. both declaring that
il has killed Nr Cleyelands chances for the
nomination. The Republicans are en-
deavoring to prove that the nomination Of
the ex President would be unwise for the
Democratic party, and that the Syracuse
Convention showed too much division of SEN
tment in New York over Mr. Cleveland
for him 10 be safely trusted with
the leadership. They do this, however be-
cause they fear the man above any other
whom the Democrats might choose, and they
would be delighted if this argument OF theirs
could have any effect upon the Convention.
IL is needless to say that the only effect 1t can
have will be to increase Mr.. Cleyelands
chances. since Republicans are not in the
habit of advising Democrats what course they
should OF should not pursue from any love
for the party, and the Democracy have long
since learned that it is never safe Tor them to
follow their enemies council.
The Hill men are equally Jealous as their
Republican allies n trying to make 1t appear
that Mr.. Cleveands nomination at Chicago
would be- iniudicious but they are not so
much actuated by the fear that he will
not carry the party to victory as they are
by the desire of seeing some one else selected.
They have been fighting the ex-President
hard ever since Nh Hill held his midwnter
| Convention, and though they have been
routed at every point and forced to surrender
they feel that if. by any means, third caudi-
date could be brought forward successfully
! even If Mr.. Cleveland himself should dictate
the man. they would not be left 80 completely
! in the lurch.
Now neither the Democratic nor Republi-
/ can enemies Of Mr.. Cleveland need take tho
| trouble TO give the Chicago Convention any
advice in regard to the action of the New
York Democracy at Syracuse 1t is quite
! doubtful if the contesting delegates really ex-
pect to be seated, for they know that the Hill
Convention though II was Il snap convention
and held in midwlnter for the very purpose
/ OF preventing the sentiment Of the Democra-
cy of New Nork being expressed in IT, was
nevertheless held under the form of law and
regularity. and therefore must be entitled 10
some consideration. Still they DO wish and in
tend to have. their real sentiment expressed in
the National Convention so that the country
may more fully than ever understand the sit
uation. Whether they are seated OF not they
| have pledged themselves in advance TO sup
port the Democratic nominee. whoever he
may be. and the chances are they Will make
out such strong that all sides Will
readily agree on the necessity Of compr0-
mise.
SO far then from the action of the Syracuse
! Convention having injured Mr. Cleveland 1t
will strengthen him before the Convention.
1t should be remembered that the gentlemen
composing it are Democrats to the core, and
can be relied upon to do nothing which would

Coming from this source we accept this

of the very first importance. We learn from

fhere TO designate the valor of their

passed bill for marking the lines of
battle and the positions of the troops

burg, and it ought to become n law. At pres
ent. while the positions of the Federal troops
are well defined those of the Confederate army
are designated only by landmarks which will
