How a Standing Collar Won n
Suit.
All tilings me fair, bo it is gener
ally thought, in war, a horse trade,
or in a law case. It is probably on
that bad rule that the late President
Lincoln acted when lie defeated an
antagonist before a jury. The anec
dote ia tlinn told by Or. Bateman:
lie was often pitted against emi
nent lawyers during trials in the
Sangamon comity Circuit Court.
On one occasion he was opposed to a
very able advocate, who made a pow
erful, cloquont and convincing speech
to the jury, and Mr. Lincoln saw
that it had been very effective on the
mindfi of the jury. The gentleman,
moreover, was a man who was very
precise in his dress, as well as man
ner and oratory.
But Mr. Lincoln hud been observ
ing him, and saw a Haw in his usually
faultless attire.
“Gentlemen of the jury,” said
“Old Abe,” when he arose to speak,
“the gentleman who has just spoken
has made a strong argument, lie
has quoted the law and evidence,
and it is not for me to say that he
is wrong. Ho may be correct in all
lie has said. But 1 want you to get
a good look at him. Is>ok especially
nt the upper half, and then, gentle
men, tell mo if any man who comes
before you with his standing collar
buttoned ‘wrong end up,' with the
points sticking away out behind his
cars, may not be altogether mistaken
in all bin arguments.
The plan was successful. Mr.
Lincoln had broken the spell which
the eloquenco of his opponont had
thrown over the jury.
Hammer and Gavel.
More than forty years ago, n writer
in Willis, Current Nolen enquired,
whence is derived tho proctico of the
ehuirmun at public mootings calling
to order by tho rapping of a ham
mer? And tho ntiswor was that the
origin of tho Presidential hammer as
a symbol of authority is supposed to
he sought for in tho Mjolnor of tho
mighty Thor. This is generally
supposed to bo the correct doriva-
• tion, nor is it to bo doubted that the
gavel of the Master of a Lodge, with
which ho preserves order, was bor
rowed at an early period from the
usage of other societies. But when
the Masons adopted it, they changed
its shape, and gavo it it a peculiar
symbolism. Tho gavel of Masonry,
is a stone mason's hummer and
takos its its namo from its fifrin.
Bo Courteous.
Thera nro a thousand little courte
sies and salutations and compliments
of life, but it would ho woll if there
wore still mora of them. Bluntness
does not moan honesty, and recogni
tion of whatever is good in men docs
not mean sincerity. It. would he
promntivo of happiness if every time
men descended in tho morning they
would look for that which is comely
uml praiseworthy, and singlo it out
and toll it. to their wives. Oh, i
men would only court aftor they are
married as they do before, what joy
thero would bo! What praise there
would bo distributed in the commu
nity. ________ *
Home Manners.
Good mnnnors are not learned
from arbitrary teaching so much as
acquired from habit. They grow
upon us by uso. Wo must bo cor-
toous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentlo-
nmnly mid womanly at. home, and
then it will soon become a kind of
second nature to bo so everywhere.
A oouvso, tough nature at homo bo-
gots a habit, of roughness which wo
can’t lay off, if wo try. whon wo go
among strangers. The most agreo-
ublo pooplo wo have over mot in com
pany are tlioao who are perfectly
agreeably at home. Homo is tho
school for all the best things, ospo
ciully good manners.
Value of a Timely Word.
A great deal of harm is done
through forgetfulness. A little
thoughtfulness and care with respoct
to others would often save them a
great deal of suffering, and aid them
ni their work. A man is discouraged
in consoquonco of tho ditlieultics he
moots with. An encouraging word
may bo all that ia nooessary to revive
his energies, and to causo him to
porsovere. That word was easily spo
ken. Thero are those who are per
fectly willing to speak it, but they
do not think of it. Thoy are busy
with their own work. The discour
aged one sinks into deeper despond
ency, not through their heartless-
ness, hut their want of thoughtful
ness.
A young man is exposed to temp
tation. He is about to take a step
from which a little influence of the
right kind will save him. There are
numbors among his acquaintances
who could exert that influence. But
they do not seo his danger, or are so
busy that, thoy must leave him to the
care of his other friends. He takes
the step and it leads him to his ruin.
A little effort rightly put forth would
have saved him.
Shreveport is guarded on every
side by squads of citixens, who com
pletely encircle the town and keep

A colored man who was lately re
suscitated from what seemed death,
hut, was only catalepsy, was enter
taining his friends with the sights
lie beheld in the other world.
“Plenty colored brethren in Heav

“Oh, yes!” said Tom.
“And* how about hell—any down
there?”
“Oh, yes, plenty ob dem dar too!”
“Any white folks, Tom?”
Lord save us, dar ain’t no end on
’em; but gosh, cberv white man done

Gath, the correspondent of the
Cincinnati Inquirer, interviewing a
Southern editor, has this:
“Which Houthcni State has the
least influence on Houthcni respect,
leaving out Florida and Arkansas?”
“Kentucky has the least. Virgin
ia has the most. Georgia has the
ablest delegation in Congress. Gor
don is the moat trusted man in the
South. Aleck Stephens is the strong
est in his locality. Lamar has drop-
]>cd behind. Ben Hill has not mental
convictions, hut drifts between praise
and passion.
A little girl in •Savannah had a
