Cultivate Good Manners.

Nothing tends so much to brighten
ana sweeten social intercourse and
make life generally agreeable as the
little attentions, ciyilities, and cour-
tesles which we style good manners
And since good manners are the nat

ness OF heart, it stands to reason that
one OF our chiefest concerns should be
the cultivation of the heart and the
directions and the upbuilding of char
acter through a development Of the
moral sense.

CRUISER ORDERED
TO AFRICAN COAST
Action Taken by State Depart
1nent at Request Of Liberian
Government.


Washington. March 1s.-The United
States cruiser Birmingham. Captain
Fletcher. has becn ordered to proceed
forthwith to Monrovia, Liberia, on the
northwest coast OF Africa. This action
is taken upon the urgent request OF the
government OF Liberia, which has rep
resented to tho State Department that
1t was powerless to hold in check the
irebellious tribes now In revolt against
them.
It appears that the tribes OF Gre
boes. powerful people, inhabiting the
region OF the CabalIy River, adjoining
French territory to the southeast Of
Liberia. have rebelled against the LIZ
5berian government, and are bcsicging
the town OF Harper. at Cape Palmass,
where there are considerable Ameri-
can missionary Interests. The object
of the insurrection seems to be to
force the Liberian government to pur-
chase peace, The Liberian government
requested through the American lega-
ton. that the United states send a
gunboat to Liberian waters. SO a to
add prestige to It's. efforts to regain
and assert it's authority over the dis
affected natives.
Under the treaty OF 1862 Liberia
confers upon the government OF tho
United States the right to intervene
on their request in such, affairs.

Remarkable Christmas
Present.

Among the curious Christmas presents
Of this year will be one for man OF ma
tional reputation, which has been all year
in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and friend of the promi-
inent gentleman requested the Burrelle
Press Clipping Bureau, of New York,
to watch every paper in America, and
to take up every item which appeared
concerning the man.
The clipping bureau people followed
instructions, and now present the history
of one year in the life of this especial man.
The history ends Just after election
and the 2o,642 newspaper items found
include everything from three-line edi-
torial mention to full-page illustrated
stories. These have been mounted on
5000 great sheets Of Irish linen paper
and bound into three MASSIVE volumes.
At the head Of each item is the name
and date of paper clipped from. this in
formation having been put in with .
book typewriter. The words thus III
serted amount to 1882.
In actual time. a very strict record OF
which has been kept, the work has re-
quired sixty-four working days through
out inc year, anu mas kept III cIHpIOyWcnC
during that time thirty people as readers,
clippers, sorters, mounters and binders.
Every newspaper Of Importance is repre-
sented
This is merely specimen Of some OF
I the unique orders which get into the Bur-
relle Bureau, for the extent to which
clippings are used by individuals and by
business concerns seems to be remarkable.
There are many people in private as
we'll as in public Life who need press clip
pings and don't know it. It might be
well for them to look up this man Bur-
relle, who is said to be so we'll known
that a letter simply addressed Burrelle,
