CORRECT STYLE IN WRITING AND SPEAKING.-We
quote from John Stuart Mills account of the
style of the ancient writers " The secret of
the style of Greek and Roman authors is that it is
the perfection of good sense. They never use a
word without meaning, or a word which adds
nothing to the meaning. 1t never entered into
their thoughts to conceive a piece of writing
beautiful in itself, abstractedly from what it had
to express its beauty must all be sIbseryieRt to
the most perfect expression of the The
perfection of workmanship is only visible in the
in the absence Of everything which detracts the
mind from the main purpose. 1t was only in the
decline of ancient literature that ornament began
to be cultivated merely as ornament. Even de
scriptive epithets were one of the corrections of
style which abound in Lucan, for instance.
The word had no business there unless it
brought out some feature relating to the matter
in hand. Ornament for the sake of ornament
defeates the very purpose of the speaker by call
ing off attention from the main object. This is
the first grand lesson in composition to be
learned from the classical authors"

MARK TWAIN having been elected an honorary
member of poultry society, recommends him
self in tire following style: 4" Even ms a school

may say, without egotsm, that as early as the
age of seventeen was acquainted with all the
best and speedest methods of raising chickens,
from raising them off roost by burning lucifer
matches under their noses, down to lifting them
off fence on frosty night by insinuting the
end of a warm board under their heels. BY the
time was twenty years old really suppose
had raised more poultry than any one individual
in all the section round about there. The very
chickens came to know my talent by and by.

II there be one fact, says the London
Lancet, that has been more frequently
stated than another, it is that the sold
iers engaged in this war, we'll or wound
ed, seek the solace Of tobacco. The in
habitants of every nation manifest sim
liar instincts, and one of the strongest
is this desire to seek out some substance
the use of which may stimulate or
soothe the nervous system. There Is
no deprivation which the habitual, a.
though not excessive, smoker feels 50
much rs the loss of tobacco and sold.
iers OF all nations, especially of the
French and German nations, smoke it.


1t was a standing Injunction of the
First Napoleon that his troops should
have tobacco, and they found it of the
greatest advantage in the retreat from
Moscow. We have been accustomed to
look upon the German as fond of hard,
intellectual toll for its own sake; and
men of abstraction and imagination, if
we may judge from the prevalence Of
the practice of smoking among them,
unique estionably appear to find an aid in
tobacco. But the manhood of Germany
has risen like giant refreshed to un-
dergo any physical exertion and hard
ship that may he required; and this
war has taxed the physical energies Of
the strongest.


The soldier, wearied with long march
es and uncertain rest, obtaining his food
how and when he can, with his nervous
system always in a state of tension
from the dangers and excitement he Gu
counters, finds that his cigar or pipe
enables him to sustain hunger or fatigue
with comparative equanimity. EX'
plain it as we may, this is physiologi'
cally true; and medical officers who
would not be sorry to see the issue OF q

PEELED to allow that the moderate use OF
tobacco by soldiers in the field has sew

HARD ON EDIToRs.-Soon after
Chief Justice Chase assumed the guber-
material chair in Ohio, he issued his
proclamation appointing Thanksgiv-
ing Day. To make sure of being ortho-
dox, the Governor composed his proc
lamation almost entirely of passages
from the Bible, which he did not desig-
nate as quotations, presuming that ev-
cry one would recognize them, and adj
mire the fitness Of the words as well as
his taste in their selection. The procla'
nation, meeting the eye of Demo
cratic editor, he pounced at once upon
it, and declared he had read it before
couldn't exactly say where-but he
would take his oath that it was down
right plagiarism from beginning to end.
That would haYe been pretty fair
joke; but the next day the Republican
editor came out valiantly in defense Of
the Governor, pronounced the charge
libelous, and challenged any man living
to produce one single line of the procla-
nation that had ever appeared in print
before.

The main characteristics of San Fran
cisco, as compared with the Atlantic |
cities, are that here the people are |
plumper and ruddier in appearance,
there are fewer efforts at display by the
rich, and fewer indications of severe |
poverty among the poor, the colors and |
patterns of dress are palmer and the |
material richer, and the stranger is met |
with more cordiality. The Californians
often complain that people in the East
seem to be afraid of compromising
themselves by civility to new acquain.
tances. More regard is paid there to a
mans position and less to his intellec-
tual value. Society Is slow to admit
new corners without Endorsement by
some established authority. There is
an atmosphere Of reserve that is de.
signed to preserve the higher circles
from the contamination of unknown
applicants for admission.


The cool climate of San Francisco re-
quires active exercise for comfort, and
gives fondness for outdoor exercise
and for amusement. With us there is
no interruption in enjoyment. No ex-
treme heat or cold puts stop to our
lively season. In Eastern cities there
are many weeks of lassitude, when no
one wishes to make any intellectual or
physical exertion more than is requi-
site, as q matter of business, and this
lassitude shows itself in the appearance
of the people on the streets. Sacramen-
to in the summer, resembles the small

matter of heat, and lady from that
place says she likes to come here for a

but she would not wish to live here be-
cause she should be out all the time, and

due to the coslneso of our summers,
which do not permit the use of dresses
very light either in color or texture. In
Eastern towns and cities, poor women
and girls are often seen in the street
without shoes or stockings, but never
here. This poverty may be honorable,

If the wedding takes place in the
church, ii is customary to reserve the
front seats in the body of the church
for the relatives of the young couple.


1t is the height of rudeness for any
one, whether clergyman, bridegroom,
or any member of the bridal train, to
keep the bride waiting. The clergy.
man, should be within the rails, the
bridegroom and groomsmen should be
in the vestry-room, by the time the
time the bride Is due at the church. The
bridesmaids may receive the bride In
the vestibule, or may accompany her
to the church.


The bridal party should meet in the
vestry room. Then the bride, leaning
on the arm of her father, heads the pro-
cession; the bridegroom, with the
BRIDES mother upon his arm, follows;
then the groomsmen and bridesmaids
in couples follow.


At the altar, the bridegroom receives
the bride, and the ceremony begins.
The groonlsmen stand behind the bride.
The bride and bridegroom remove the
right hand glove in some churches; In
Others it is not deemed necessary. The
bride stands on the left of the groom.
When the wedding takes place at the
house Of the BRIDE, 1t is customary to
divide tire room either by folding doors
or curtain, and allow the bridal party
to be grouped before their friends see
them. If, however, this Is not conve-
nient, they enter in the same order as
| in church. 1t is somewhat customary
of late for the bride and groom to walk
arm-in.arm to the altar; but it is against
established etiquette; the bride should


walk with her father, or, If orphaned,


with whoever takes the fathers place


on the occasion.


Where a ring is used, 1t is the duty


Of the first bridesmaid to remove the


brides left hand glove.


After the ceremony, the bride and


groom go in the same carriage from the


church to the house, or from the house


to the railway depot. If there Is


breakfast or supper, the bride does not


change her dress until she assumes her


travelling dress.


If parties are given to the bride and
groom, the bridesmaids and groomsmen


must also be invited, and if they prefer,


all may wear the dress worn at the we'd
ding. This is, however, optional.
During the fortnight following the
wedding, friends of the family should
call upon the mother of the bride.
Ii is contrary to etiquette to wear
mourning to wedding. Even in the
case of a widowed mother to either Of
the happy pair, it is customary to wear
gray, or some neutral tint, upon the
wedding day, even If the deepest
) mourning is resumed afterwards.


1t is not etiquette, at a wedding Oh

by the Superior Court, in Cincinnati,
that a wife has a vested right in her
husbands society and companionship,
and can maintain an action for DANA

husband had an adopted daughter who
was married, and gradually he absent

at last he resided permanently with
those people. The wife brought suit
against her husband, and the other two

and society. Upon demurrer, the Court
ruled that the action would not lie as

lnuch younger, but decidedly the worse tor

Hon. J. w. Bradbury, who taught the first
normal school in this country, responded most
heartily to the sentiments that had been ut
tered. Education is the grandest legacy that
can be left to posterity. 1t is the foundation
of science and good morals; and as matter
of economy, it is cheaper to educate scholar
than to support criminal. He made some
valuable practical suggestions to teachers,
parents and scholars, that should be needed
! HIS Excellency, Governor Chamberlain
who had accepted an urgent invitation to be
present, had arrived in the afternoon train,
and made his appearance in the school room
On being introduced, he said that it was not his
purpose to make "A formal speech but as he
had received many courtesies from The citi-
zens of Augusta, and had been treated al
most as a resident ior the past three years,
he felt a warmand lively interest in its advance
mcnt. He was glad to notice a growing in
terest all over the State in educational mat
ters, feeling favorable to a more real and
thorough education. Although we have in
times past been afflicted with poor school
houses, Maine has been abreast of all the
States in popular education. Somehow the
boys and girls, and men and women have
learned how to do things, and the records that
have been made in these poor, tunlbledown
school houses have gone out to the glory of
God and the good of man. While he would
not dttract from the past, he would rejoice
in the present, and look for grander results
in the future What 4 wonderful thing the
school house is Think of the kindlug of
great, noble and high purposes which start up
in the mind; how many earnest thoughts Of
parents linger round the precious ones gath
cred there; how diligently labors the careful
teacher. How much interest must gather
and grow within the walls of a school house.
Think of the little tcndrils that stretch tror,
youthful hearts out into the world of knowl
engc. to take in truths that are to be interwo-
ven into fair and beautiful lives. This thought
was expanded and illustrated. The Governor
closed by saying that this house is not a cold
and chetrlcss monument, but a living and
beautiful temple. 1t is like the favored statue
of old. of which it is said that when the rays
of the rising sun rested upon it, there came
forth sounds of harmony. SO shall this cdi-
