SAN SABA. TEXAS, NOYEHBER is. 1872.


Tie first great fundamental
principle in the row waning fine
art OF conversation is, paradoxical
as it may appear, to be silent, to
listen intelligentiy, 10 be sincerely
interested, 10 be sympaLhetically
responsive, to draw out The best
points in your friend or compan-
ion. This requires in preparation
a study OF every topic Of current
interest n we!l-fed, well-read mind,
good memory, an honestinterest
in every phase Of life and thought.
and a heroic unselishness and
modification of the spirit equal to
that with which the old martyrs
smiled and sung while the fagots
blazed and the burning oil steamed.
The listener WHO waits with ca
ger and ill-concealed haste for YOU
to finish your story that she may
tell the better one of which it re-
minds her, IS not the kind of wo-
nan who creates a salon or ac-
quires a following of choice spirits. /
Aud the finishing course in this
art OF talking is 10 learn how 10 !
answer easily, brightly, to the /
polrt. to convey he idea that you
understand, but sill are not salts
fed with what you h-,e learned |
SO many people quench ones en-
thusiasm with the answer that
says, ooh, 1 know all about itnow."
There Is a wide gulf between a
good talker and a good CONVERSE
tionalist. The former is agrees
i've, demands recognition and mon
opolizes attention. The latter,
with finer art, more subtle grace
is quiet, unselfsh and tactful, and
must Of necessity have a wider
range Of subjects than the former.
To talk well one needs to be ac-
quainted with but few themes,
since one can guide the CONVERSE
ton In these channels: but to lis
ten well. one must be ready to-
stand and deliver upon anything. /
The suggesting Of topics is the
finishing touch of the social edu-
cation. It is something that can
not be taughG It is like the old
physicians experience that mai
bis opinion more valuable til
tfes .t,,ceu.i,s Is,s lit'as LIZ
tact, quickness Of thought deci
ion, and more Of tie unselfshness
that is The root of all courtesy.
If you know your guests for the
dinner or reception, it IS we'll to
sit down and think out what they
are most interested in, and then
inform yourself, not with an idea
of talking, but listening There |
lis nothing more exasperating toll
the specialist than to have some
one attempt to tell him all about
his own speciality, nothing more I
subdy hattering tLan to be made 1
to advance his ideas by adroit I
questioning. For the unexpected I
encounter, tact, which is genius
and experience, which IS the moth
er who gives it life, viii come TO
the rescue. The world is full of
takers, but the art Of conversation
languishes while the people chat
ter. Youths Southland.

Elegance in Letter writing.

The ability to write a really elegant
letter is q graceful accomplishment
well worth the acquisition of the edu-
Gated woman, and HGrper's BGzar re-
marks concerning it:--"As society is
carried on at present, notes and let
tiers must be frequently exchanged
notes OF invitation to various occa-
sions, notes accepting or declining in
vltations, notes of congratulation, of
coincidence, of inquiry, of regret, of
ceremony. In fact, the writing of let
tiers forms a distinct social function,
and occupies no small portion of a
woman's morning, if she goes about
at all or keeps pace with the engage
ments of her set.
ITO write a good business letter,
straightforward, courteous, direct,
comprehensive and winning, requires
not only a special talent. but Especial
training. The number of persons
whose business letters are models OF
brevity, clearness and p%oliteness is
always limited, perhaps for the rea-
Sol that almost everybody is sure that
the thing is perfectly simple, and re-
mains in this conviction until he at.
tempts it for himself. In a business
letter the greatest conciseness, in con.
nection with the most unfailing ur.
banity, is a sine qua non.
in a letter of friendship, on the
otherhand, there is opportunity fol-
graceful diffusiveness and the air oil
charming persiflage which BELTS the
conversation of persons in a drawing
room. A bit of compliment, a little
fun, a little exaggaration are not amiss
in the friends letter to her friend.

BAY0NNE SALOON ROW,
Disgraceful Trick By Which Re-
spectacle Citizens are
Outraged.

Since the issuing of a license to Charles
Mcdonald, to keep a saloon and restaur-
ant opposite the new Bayonne City Hall.
the police department has been instructed
by Mayor Farr to prevent the opening of
the saloon. Some time ago the Council
granted q license for it to John S. Nc
Donald, a brother of the present prop
rietor. Residents of that section present
ed a formidable protest and Mayor Farr
paid no attention to the protest. AT the
first opportunity the veto was overridden
by a vote of eight to three.
Counsellor Thomas j. Kennedy, the
Prohibition nominee for Governor, car
ried the matter to the Courts, where the
granting of the license over the Mayors
veto was snnulled as being illegal. Then
a license was granted Charles Mcdonald.
Mayor Farr did not receive it and during
his absence from the city President John
w. Goddard. acting as Mayor, signed this
license. There was a large petition in
favor of licensing Mr.. Macdonald. whose
father is proprietor of the Riverside
House. The objection is to locating any
saloon in that section.

OF letting candidates appear before
the people. 1t makes a member of
the Campaign Executive Committee
of 1884 say
There is always danger that the candidate may
do or say something which will imperil the can
about o national campaign again l shall insist
that the candidate 20 into hiding as far as it is
possible, and l don't know but the best thing to
do would be TO send him to Europe, for the
greatest danger OF a canvass lies in such acci-
dents as the candidate may unwittingly bring
about.
This is all true of Republican candi-
dates. There is no Republican poll
tician who can be safely trusted be-
fore the people, because they are all
saturated with ideas and principles
which are offensive to the people be-
cause they are subversive OF our gov
ernIuental and social system. OF
course it does not matter what a cam
paigD speaker says. If he makes a
bad break, the candidate can make a
popular point by repudiating and re-
buking him. But the candidate him
self must not talk because he must
stand by what he says. The danger
is that he may inadvertently say at
any minute what he really thinks.

IF cholera reaches this country, this
year, there is no reasonable ground
for hope that this city will escape its
worst ravages. The great balance of
scientific opinion at present seems to
favor the theory that its principal
vehicle of propagation is water. Pure.
water affords no sustenance for it's
microbes. Foul water, Astounding in
putrid organic matter is the great
field of multiplication for its germs.
Jersey City is provided with this
commodity beyond all parallel. We
have the very worst water supply in
the whole worldly far the worst,
and we use over twenty millions of
gallons a day of it.
