GOOD EYa1IPLE.

There wasn't much vote-buying fin this State last week because there wasn't much money for such use. And in at least three towns-Kent, North Canaan and New Milford-there was none. because there was no money. the leaders in both parties having made an agreement that the voters should not be asked to sell their votes and that their votes should not be bought If they were offered for sale. The agreement was strictly kept, and though some were dissatisfied with the result of the voting there was general satisfaction with the way in which the voting was done.
 The example set in these three towns should be kept before the people of the rest of the State and they should be en- couraged to do likewise. Connecticut's reputation for traffic in votes is bad and 1t is at least partially merited There is no doubt that many of the voters of the State will sell their votes and when political money is plenty many votes are bought. In one town not far from New Haven forty per cent. of the votes are purchasable, and the situation Is not much better in many other towns. There are cheering indi- cations here and there of a real desire and intent to change the sad condition of things, and now that three Litch- field county towns have shown how to do 1t and have successfully done 1t it is to be hoped that many other towns will follow their lead. The trade in votes in this State and in other States must stop If free government is to be maintained.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL and CouRiaa:
 East Rock and West Rock are two eminences on the borders of New Ha- ven. to which the inhabitants, when tired of the sights and sounds Qnclud- Ing the sound of trolleys) of the grow ing city. can resort and enjoy the quiet woods and delightful views of sea and land. Most intelligent people must have been somewhat startled to hear of the proposal to hang on to the face of West Rock a hideous deformity in the shape of an elevator" The good taste of the powers that be-" 1t Is hoped, may be relied on to prevent such plan for spelling the beauty of the Rock from being carried into ef- feet. But now there comes another scheme for running trolley cars up these hills, and we are told that the street car companies not hoping for profit, are benevolently disposed thus to extend their lines Everybody who thinks for a moment must see that pro- jects of this kind, whether springing from the desire of gain or from pure benevolence O, would, If carried out, convert each of these attractive parks into a sort of Coney Island. They were not designed to be resort for bands of idle excursionists or a paradise for picnics, but rather as places agreeable alike for drives and for pedestrians. For those who do not wish to drive the ascent of the Rocks on foot is easy and not long, and for the infirm or the indo- lent, who do not care to go to the top, there are numerous halting places where the air is refreshing and a fine prospect is open to view. The Park Commissioners, 1t is probable, will pre- vent these mischievous proposals from being carried into effect; but 1t is well for the bulk of intelligent taxpayers, who cannot but regard them with ab- horrence, to be outspoken on the sub- feet. Let a final veto be put upon all propositions of money-seeking, vote catching, popularity-hunting persons or corporations to destroy the charms ot the two parks. A.

No well bred person has bad man. ners, though such a person may have a shy or awkward or reserved manner.
 The latter may be one's misfortune,
 the former is ones fault. I am glad
 that the girls are returning to the beau tiful courtesy of bending the knee and
 the body as well as the head; 1t is a
 prettier and more graceful reverence than mere bow. Nothing about man. ner in young girl is 50 bewitching as deference, the paying attention to older people, and showing kindness to young CT ones, and setting everybody at ease.
 If you are in doubt how to behave on any occasion. look at the people about you, and see what most of them do. The majority are generally right. There are one or two rules always to be ob- served. You speak to your hostess when you go to a reception or party, and you wish her goodnight when you leave. At the table you wait until the lady of the house is seated before seat yourself. You thank every one who does you service. You are care full not to interrupt conversation; you do not set older people right, even if you know they are mistaken; you do not try to get the best place yourself, you endeavor to give that to your friend. In the street you do not attract observation by loud talking or laughter. If you are in a public conveyance, as a car or ferry boat, for instance, you yield your seat to the elderly lady or gentleman, or the tired mother with a child in her arms. rs
