A True Lady.
Wildness is a thing which girls can
not afford. Delicacy is a tiling which
cannot he lost or found. No art can
restore the grape its hloont. Famil
iarity. without confidence, without
regard, is destructive to all that
makes woman exalting and eiiuob
ling. It is the first duty of a woman
to he a lady. Good breeding is good
sense. Bail manners in a woman is
immorality. Awkwardness may he
ineradicable. Bashfulucss is consti
tutional. Ignorance of etiquette is
•lie result of circumstances. All can
be condoned and not banish men o r
women from the amenities of llicir
kind. But self-possessed, unshrinking
and aggressive coarseness of demean
or may lie reckoned as a State's Pris
on offence, and certainly merits that
mild form of restraint called impris
onment for life. It is a shame for
women to be lertured on their man
ners. It is a bitter shame that they
need it. Do not have impulses that
need restraint. Do not wish to dance
with the Prince unsought; feel differ
ently. Be 6iire you confer honor.
Carry yourself so loftily that men
will look up to you for reward, not
at von in rebuke. Tlic natural senti
ment of man toward woman is tever-
ence. lie loses a large means of

A man’s ideal is not wounded
when a woman falls in worthy wis
dom ; hut if in grace, in fact, in sen
timent, in delicacy, in kinduess, she
would he found wanting, he receives
an inward hurt.—[Gail Hamilton.
Romance of a Moustache.
A police officer in Toledo was in
formed by a detective that lie had
seen tlic moustache of a young fellow
—a passenger bv a Lake Shore train
—rail off while" he was asleep, and
advised him to arrest the youth. Al
though this is not an offense against
the statutes of Ohio, the Officer laid
liis hand upon tlic lind_ young man'
shoulder, and he, looking up, saiil he
knew what was wanted and would
go with the officer. On arrivin
tlic police station “he” said “he” was
the wile of a man living in Nebraska
who was close-fisted, stingy anil cruel.
She bail left him twice in her own
female apparel anil hail been caught
anil brought hack. The neighbors
advised her to disguise herself in
men's clothes, which, by saving mon-
i-wantl buying a suit, she finally did.
She was going to Buffalo to live with
her brothers, who would whip her
husband if he cnine for her. The
Toledo police having no authority to
detain her, let her go, and she went
on her way rejoicing, to her broth
ers. I f they are as “close-fisted” a:

MY MOLYKS.
Three gaunt, grim wolves, that hunt for
iiii-ii.
Three gaunt, grim wolves then* Is*;
And one is Hunger, and mu- is Sin,
Anil one is Misery.
1 sit and think till my heart Is sore.
While the wolf or tin* wind is shaking
tile door.
Or |H*crs at his prey through the window
pane.
Till liis ravenous eyes hurii into my brain.
And I cry to myself, “If the wolf la* Sin,
He shall not come in—he shall not come
in;
But if the wolf la* Hunger or Woe,
He will couie lonll melt, whether or tin!”
For out in the twilight, stern anil grim,
A destiny weaves man’s life for him
As a spider weaves his web for files;
And the three grim wolves, Sin, Hunger
and Wia>,
A man must fight them, whether or no,
Though oil in the struggle the lighter
dies.
To-night I cry to Gial for bread.
To-morrow night I shall la* dead;
For the fancies arc strange ami scarcely
sane.
That llit like spectres through my brain.
And I dream of the time long ago, long
ago.
When I knew not Sin, Hunger and Woe.
There are three wolves that limit for men.
And 1 have met the three.
And one is Hunger and one is Sill,
And one is Misery;
Three pairs of eyes at the window-pane
Are burned anil branded into my brain.
Like signal lights at sea.

spicuous part.
A grand Republican ratification meet

at Jacksonville anil Conover, with one

latter will accept tlic compromise.
At Painters’Iron mills, Pittsburg, on
Saturday morning, an explosion of one
of the batteries of the seven Iwilers took
plaee, producing fearful effects, killing
tlic engineer and fireman. Fortunately
only three persons were in the mill at
llie lime of the accident, otherwise more
fearful results would have been the con
sequence.
The funeral services of tlic late vener
able Dr. Sears, Cliairman of tlic Trustees

made by distinguished clergymen anil
others.

'The Fil'd ion of Hancock anil
English liy a llninlsninc Ma
jority Assured.
Front the New York Sun.)
The Garfield Republicans have not
the slightest hope of carrying a single
Southern Slate. This assures IAS
electoral votes to Gen. Hancock, lie
will need only 17 electoral votes in
the Nnrtliern States so complete the
requisite majority of 185. Where
can lie get them ?
The States of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York and Connecticut
cast 79 votes nninely: Pennsylvania,
2fi: New Jcrs-y, 9; New York, 35;
and Connecticut 0. On n straight
pull between the two parties, New
Jersey and New York arc decidedly
Democratic, and Connecticut usually
inclines in that direction, while Penn
sylvania lias been disposed to go Re
publican. In the spirited contest of
I87li, New York gave Tildeii anil
Hendricks a majority of 32,090, New
Jersey a majority of 12,000, and Con
necticut n majority of 2,800; hut
Pennsylvania went for Hayes by a
majority of 17,900.
Under ordinary circumstances,
these four Slates might lie expected
to vole in November next ns Kiev did
four years ago. Even such a result
would more than suffice to elect Han
cock and English, for New Jersey,
New York anil Connecticut cast fifty
voles, which is three more limn the
Democratic candidates will need
with tin: whole vote of llie South.
Itllllvi.il General Hancock at llie
head of the lickel. Hie circumstances
are nut of an ordinary character as
far as these four Slates are concerned.
There arc now living in Pennsylva
nia, New Jersey, New York and Con
necticut til least two hundred thous
and voters who served with General
Hancock in the army of tlic Potomac,
while tens of thousands of them, first
anil last, served under him. ’Tlic two
hundred thousand have been with
him in many a battle for the preserv
ation of tiie union, and tens of thous
ands have seen hint, sword in hand,
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
them in the thickest press. With
(>en. Hancock backed by the united
Democracy of these four Sla'es the
probability that the extra soldier
vote will prove ample to maintain
tlic Democratic majorities of 1870 in
the three States that went for Tildcn,
anil to capture the 9.000 votes in
Pennsylvania which are needed to
turn that State over to Hancock,
must be admitted to be reasonably
strong.
AVe have ovor looked Indiana, and
its 15 electoral votes, which were
cast for Tildcn and Hendricks four
years ago. The State nnturally in
clines to the Democracy : the Cincin
nati Convention lias strenghtened the
ticket by placing AVilliam II. English
upon it as a candidate for Vice-Pres
ident. He is one of tlic ablest and
most popular men in the State, and
his name will most likely secure it
to the Democrats in the preliminary
election in October, just as Hen
dricks secured it in This will
render the triumph of Hancock ami
English in November by a handsome
majority both natural and easy.
Mistaken Sympathy.
Of late years there lias been a ten
dency in some quarters to extend a
blind sympathy to criminals, no mat
ter what their offenses may lie. Mur
derers are tlic especial objects' of this
mawkish sentiment, hut others come
in for a liberal share of it, propor
tioned to the enormity of their crimes
and tlic degree of so-called romance
that enters into their histories. Noth
ing could be more misplaced than
this. Sympathy is an admirable feel
ing, but llicro arc many worthy ob
jects upon whom it can be lavished
without going into prisons to seek
them. AVrong-docrs should suffer Hie
penally of their misdeeds. “As ye
have sown so shall ye reap.” Against
that sentence there can he no appeal.
Men know well enough when they
are violating the laws of God and
man. They arc not ignorant of the
consequences. The path of rectitude
is before them. They can follow it
or step aside into that broad and
straight way that leads to perdition.
It is a question of free will. If they
choose the evil, the well being of si -
cicty demands that they should snffci,
otherwise there would he no safety,
law would he a mockery, and every
man’s hand would be against liis
neighbor. To extend sympathy oth
er than sorrow for their fall to vio
lators of law in their just punishment
is not only misplaced, but exceeding
ly pernicious in its influence upon tlic
youth of the country. No man un
dergoes punishment without a fair
and impartial trial by a jury of his
countrymen, who have all the facts
before them. It should he sufficient
for all men to know that they jrnlgi d
him deserving of the penally fixed la
the law. AVe have no patience wi lt
tlic sentiment that would save stu b
people from the natural consequences
of their wrong-doing. Unifier let
crime lie made odious; let tlic young
be taught Hint there can be no sym
pathy for tlic transgressor, anil tlic
courts will have fewer criminals to
try.—Augusta (<la.) Chronicle.

Servants’ Fees In Etir»|te
MAUN IK li.'ll NT UNIFORMED CREATURES
1IAM1INII ROUND Knit SIXPENCE.
A petty hut endless trouble of tlic
travelers in Europe for the first timo
is Hie maltnr of gratuities. You
give a trifle all the time to everyone
who docs you Hie least service. Even
for an a ppsrcntly friendly word of
information on tin: street you are ex
pected to |my in this way. In Eng
land it is “a tip;” in France, the pour
hoirc; in Germany it ia trinkgeld,
drink money. It is not much mon
ey in any one instance, hut foots up
pretty well after an active day’s
work. The practical trouble, how
ever, is to know what to give. The
inhabitants and the servants them
selves know exactly what they arc
entitled, for it is a matter of right,
just as much as uny other charge, al
though the amount is never fixed or
published in any written form for the
information of strangers. They
mn«t leant it by experience.
AVe, as a rt.le, to whom Hie Euro
pean nicrsnrcs arc new, give too
much. Englishmen of rank anil
wealth complain that Americans
raise Hie costs of travel wherever
they go.
For Hie gratuity of cab drivers,
waiters at restaurants etc., tin* recog
nized European usage is ip England
one penny fur every shilling spent in
fare or at tlic table, and in France
anil Italy two sous for every franc
spent. This rule disposes of a largo
portion oftlie cases.
For |iortcrs, two pence in England
and two sous on the Continent, tor
every piece of luggage handled, if it
is only to carry it across a pavement.
An iiiiihrnlln or a shawl is a piece as
well as a trunk lie driver of an om
nibus, cab or fiacre, as a point of eti
quette and out of professional con
sideration for the porters, will refuse
to touch a piece of luggage himself,
even to lift it from three feet away
into liis vehicle.
A'isiting at private houses of tlie
upper classes in England llie serv
ants expect their tips in gold coin if
your slay is over n day or two. The
smallest English gold coin is a ten
shilling piece—12.50. You see the
footman, who attends your bedroom ;
the maid, if you have ladies, who
serves their chambers; the Initlcr,
who lias charge of the dining-room
and force of waiters ; Hie keepers, if
you hunt; the groom you use, if you
ride, or the head of ’ the stables* if
there are several, and generally any
servant that you specially use. ’ You
will soon learn how to grade these
fees according to tlie rank of the ser
vant anil the length of your visit.
On first-class ocean steamers the
gratuities are much analogous to
those in a gentleman’s house. The
steward who waits on you at the ta
ble and the one who attends vonr
stateroom, will each expect a fee in
gold—ten shillings ($2.50), at least—
from a single passenger; a pound, if
you have hatha brought into your
room every morning, or arc particu
lar about having your wines warmed
or iced ; or, in short, use tlie servants
up to their full capacity. When the
passage is $00 to $75 or less, these
fees are less—about one-half of the
figures above. The “boots” also
looks to lie remembered about one-
half tlie amount given tlie steward.
The expense of this gratuity busi
ness in ordinary travel is in general
rather exaggerated. The sums giv
en are very small and you get a great
deal for them—a willing, perfect,
kindly service which yon do not get
in our country at all. ’ To the travel
er the custom is an annoyance rather
than a burden.
The usage degrades and demoral
izes and utunans him who takes the
vail, or gift, or tip, or bounty, or
whatever you please to call it; "yet a
very great portion of tlie people of
Great Britain and Europe do receive
their wages lit this way, look for it,
and feel no humiliation in the trans
action. You can hardly insult any
body across the water by offering
them anything, no matter what ap
pears to be liis or tlieir official posi
tion. I have given a shilling in Lon
don to uniformed policemen, and a
franc in Paris to magnificent-looking
hotel managers. A Philadelphia ac
quaintance iu London had several
hundred dollars brought to him
from his banking house, one of the
largest there, by a clerk of the estab
lishment, and the nattily-dressed
young gentlemen asked for a shilling
for his services. Imagine the conse
quences of offering ten cents to a con
ductor of the Pennsylvania Railway
who had shown you to your scat in
the car and given you information as
to when to got out; yet this is done
all over England every day, and tlic
uniformed and rcKjicrlablc looking
guard hangs around stickily until lie
gels' liis sixpence.—Philadelphia
