REPOSE OF MANNER.
A British NObleman Says That Is
What American Women Need.

A British NObIeman Says That Is
What American Women Need.
A foreign nobleman, for whose opin-
ion on etiquette and the higher amen
tiles of fashionable life the modish
folk of the States feel a profound re-
spect, has been heard to remark that,
though fascinating in many ways, Our
pretty American women lack very sad
ly that repose of manner which marks
the caste to which all rich, pretty and
smart women strive to belong, the
thoroughly ~aristocratic.
american women says this emf
nent censor of high breeding, "gestic-
ulate too much, they laugh too much,
are too restless and altogether, when
animated, are calculated to throw Il
sensitive person into a hard attack of
sympathetic tidgets." So much of this
is true and so deep an impression has
the frank criticism made upon the
| women of New York. at least. that few
of them one meets but are vigorously
studying what the nobleman calls re
pose"
ITO seem at rest" says one of the

social conduct, "seat yourself care.
fully n at ease, smile a good deal if
you wish and are amused; but laugh
rarely, and then in a modulated tone.
Try to move your head about with
| graceful posing, but for the most part
let your hands lie easily in yaur lap
and try to make it Il rule to do every
thing slowly. American women are
V instead of graceful, jerk from
n thing to another, and so mar the
best effects of good gowns and fan
faces"
Under this imported regulation one
finds hostesses pouring tea with a de
liberation that is positively restful tc

fast and furious rush of feet; and the
last nights at the opera the pretty

sign language with %gymnastic arm ant
head movements. as in the low, swee'
voices with which nature has so kind

A ~PaIindrOmic Name.

One of the most remarkable of
names is that of the Rev. Mr.. Moxom,
of Springfield, Mass, who has recent
ly declined a call from a church in
this city. 1t spells the same backward
as forward. In its simplest printed
form, without shading, each letter is
the same from right to left as from
left to right, so that, reflected in a
mirror, or held up between the eye
and the light and read through the
paper, or set up in a printers compos-
ing stick, the name is the same as
when read in the usual way. The mid.
die letter a be halved by cutting
at any single point of contact, and that
point is the middle of the NAME, not
l~engthwise but perpendicularly.
the middle letter would serve
ectly as the joining letter if the
name were printed one horizontally
ard once perpendicularly in the form
of a cross. The Rev. Mr.. Moxom is a
good man and a able preacher and
he possesses by far the most wonder
full of palindromie names.-New York

Turtles.

A turtle of the loggerhead variety
was caught on the beach near Grove
City Il few nights ago which was a
remarkable specimen. not only for its
immense size, but dates on its shell
showed it to be an aged one, and quite
q traveller. One branding read. "St.
Augustine, July IL, 1857" and the
other date at Jupiter Inlet, June 4,
1878, which showed it had fallen twice
into considerate hands and bee al
lowed TO follow the egg-producing .vo-
cation, instead of being converted into
steak. 1t had just left its nest, and
was slowly era wiling back to the wa
ter when caught. The nest was soon
located. and 1873 eggs taken therefrom.
After cutting date of capture on the
shell she was allowed to depart in
peace. and it is hoped she may con
tinue to fall in kindly hands. and the
branding go on in the interest of nat
ural history, which claims for MAT
species 100 years of life. 1t is a
known fact that these turtles never
leave the water except to lay, aud
they lay from four to six times each
during the summer, and from 100 to
300 eggs ut Il setting, or from 800 to

Lively for the Letter-Writer.

The c~arelessness of danger which
characterizes certain soldiers does not
always extend to certain persons
about them. The French Marshal,
Bugead, was once debating, v,ry near
q battlefield, aletter to hiss ,cretary.
AS the general spoke the words of
his letter, a bomb from thu enemy's
camp fell just in front of the door of
his tent. The general went on talking,
but the secretary seized his paper and
hall rose from his seat.
"Why are you s~topping?" askedthe
marshal.
"The bomb!" gasped the secretary.
"Have 1 said anything about a
bomb?"
"No-but-the--homb-the bomb!'
"Now what" said the marshal, inn
patiently, ''l~ts the bomb got to do
with the letter I am debating to you?
Go on with your writing!"

JOHN BROWNS PREDICTION.
His Talk to n Youth Who Shared
His Blanket in Kansas

aN ms
MY campaigning began way back
in 81" said Brig. Gen. Stanton, pay
master general of the army. ut was
out in Kansas with old John Brown.
This was in the border war. Old John
Brown was a slender, angular man,
probably over six feet tall, and had
much of the physical makeup of the
typical Yankee. He was a man of Sc
rious mind, very religious, and knew
the Bible almost by heart. l recollect
the last conversation 1 had with Mr..
Brown. l was nothing but a boy at
the time, about eighteen years old. 1t
was on the night after the fight at
Lawrence, Kan.
1--WE had been fighting all day with
the prO-slavery people. 1t was a very
bright moonlight night, and Brown
and l slept under the same blanket.
Our bed chamber vas the open air.
Brown had spread his blanket in the
warm sand, right at the foot of Mas
sachuSettS street, which is the main
street of Lawrence. Until we went to
sleep Brown kept up a constant talk
with me. Brown told me, and I've
sometimes looked on it as almost
prophecy, all about the al that was
coming.
slavery and freedom will never
mix said Brown. .The country can't
be half slave and half free. There
will be a great deal of bloodshed.
There's a struggle coming, the biggest
one the world has eve seen. 1t will
last years and rivers of blood will
flow. You will see, but | probably
will not. l expect the slaves will be
freed, and am as sure of it as | am
that we are wrapped in our blankets
here, but | don't expect to V to see
it myself
Brown was a very quiet man in his
manner, and while naturally a soldier,
knew nothing of military affairs by
any education he had received. He
was absolutely brave, and. in fact. a
sort of American Cromwell. He made
a speech on II occasion to the people
of a town in Kansas. just before they
went into a fight with a band of bor-
der rutfianS, who We're about to at
tack them. Brown was well educated,
but his speech was homely and plain,
and entirely practical. | recollect II
thing he said, which was really a val
liable piece of military advice. 1t
would be good information for any
army to get just before it went into a
fight:
land when you shoot said Brown,
in his quiet, practical tone, to the list
ening crowd, be sure you see the hind
sights to your rifle. 1t is absolutely
essential. and there is no use shooting
until you do. If everybody who has
shot at me had seen the hind sights
of his gun l would be as full of holes
as a colander. Star.

red on Il Pennsylvania train. l was
going east, and in the same car with
me were a wOman and her husband
who were travelling from the west to

woman got out of her berth and told
the porter that her husband desired
to sleep as he was not feeling well.
"All that day the man remained in
his bed, while his wife read the pa
pers. played cards and acted Just the
same as the other passengers. In the
evening the porter insisted on making
up the berth, and pulling back the
curtains, he was Mortified to find that
the mar was dead. 1t. was demon
strated that he had died some time
during the previous night. The wom-
an knew it. but explained that she did
not give the alarm because she was
very anxious to reach her destination
and she was afraid that if the cOn~
ductor knew her husband was dead
she would have to leave the train.
All that day she rode knowing that
her husband a a corpse Il few feet
distant from her, and yet she never
betrayed the fact; and if the porter
had not insisted on changing the bed
it is likely that she would have reach

husband was discovered. The corpse
