Common Politeness.
Common politeness is very simple,
very «uy; very cheap. It costs noth
ing in effort; it is no lax upon either
the physical or mental powers; it is al
ways gratefully received by polite peo
ple, and it gratifies giver as well as re
ceiver. It makes all within the range
of its influence happier and better, and
it smothers mary of the rougher paths
of life.
Many intelligent and well-bred peo
ple are often uncivil for want of
thoughtfulness, and they some times
give good reasons for offence, or the
assumption that they are uncivil, when
they do not mean to be guilty of such
aa offence. Such persons are usually
understood and exeused by their inti
mate acquaintances, but it is a misfort
une to yield to the habit of even ap
parent rudeness. It often grieves peo
pie whose respect is available, and it
never accomplishes any good.
The greatest complaints about inciv
ility often comes against these who as
bume to bo cxamplers of society and good
manners, and they are too often just.
common is it for a lady to refuse
the acknowledgment of the courtesy
extended when a g entlcmas gives
his scat to a lady in a street car
that many a gentlemen have abandon
cd that particular act of civility except
where they know the lady, and
they certainly have great provocation
It is not at all jare to see ladies of
social distinction accept a seat from
gentleman without the semblance cf
acknowledgment, and in all 6Uch cases
the gentleman must feel like resenting
the unpardonable rudeness, for it is not
simply a want of civility; it is the posi
rudenesi that can be associated
only with vulgarity. No true lady
committed such a breach of
politeness, and it is only just to
say that, as a rule, only those who pose
ladies commit such flagrant good
breeding.
The (rue lady or gentleman never
forgets common politeness to all with
they como in contact; and the
surest sign of the social pretender ii
displayed in public incivility to others
The genuine lady or gentleman is al
ways so well astured of her or his po
sition that they dignify it by courtesy
to all who may merit it, regardless of
condition or circumstance, while the
upstart, uncertain of position, repeats
upon others the Bnub he or she receiv-
the effort to climb into social
recognition.
Tne true lady and gentleman are
t.r polite and courteom to all when
thorie admirable qualities bad been ex
hibited, when thoso attributes are not
exhibited, on all proper oocasions, it is
always safe to assume that vulgarity U
querading in the thin disguise of
the gentleness that ever makes the la
the gentleman.—Philadelphia

The Sunday Paper.
The London edition of the New York
Herald has found favor in tho churches
spite of the Sunday issue. Ad
dressing a large congregation in the
City Temple last Sunday, Dr. Parker
said:
“I have lived to see a day that I
did hardly expect to sec. There is
dually published in London a great
daily paper that takes notice of tho
Christian pulpit. That great daily
paper is the New York Herald.
It actually n cognizes the Christian
pulpit, and I thank God for that rec
ognition. It is likely to do good. I
do not say that It Ignores the billiard
room, or the race course, or the thea
tre, but it actually docs recognize the
fact that there is a pulpit in the coun
try. Succ.'ss to it, and God's blessing
be upon thjjt department of its labor.”

Some Queer old Fables.
A lady-has furnished to the Folk
Lore Journal, an English periodical,
a collection of notes on the folk lore
of ooutherlandshire, some of which
seem worthy of republication here.
Here is a story of a most potent
witch:.
“The great witch, the ‘Cailleach
Mohr’ of Ciibrek, was once suspected
of having enchanted all the deer of
the Reay forest, by which means they
became bullet-prooy. Lord Reay, who
was exceedingly aosry, was at loss to
remedy the evil or break the spell. His
min William prjmiied to find out all
about it. He watched the witch for
whole night, and by some counter spell
contrived to be present in the morning
when he detected her milking the
hinds. They stood round the door of
her hut, but one of them took a fancy
6keio of blue worsted that hung
from a nai? and ate it. The witch in
rage strujk the animal. ‘Ah!’ she
cried, ‘the spell is off you now, and
Lord Reay’s bullet will be ycur death
to-day.’ W’liiam repeated this to his
master who would hardly believe that
he had spent the night in the hut of
the witch. But a fine bind was 6hot that
very day, and a hank of blue yarn
found in her stomach established at
once the reputation.of the servant and
f tho Cai!leach Mohr. William de
termined to pay her another visit, well
knowing that this wicked old woman,
though very rich, never gave anything
away and had never asked any one to .
eit duwo in her hi u <*. He according
ly walked into her kitchen. She crav
ed to know the stranger’s name and
destination. ‘I coma from the south
and I am going to the north,’ he an
swered curtly. ‘But what’s your
name? ‘My name is William Sit-douo.’
Sit-dounT she repeated, whereupon he
flung himself into a chair. She gave
angry cry. “This I do willingly,’
hc8aid,-‘wben the mistress bids m?.” She
much provoked and taking
bannock as white and as round
moon, began to cat without tak
more notice of him. “Your piece seems
dry one, mistres-i,” he said, at last.
Ah, the fat side is toward me,” gruffly
answered the witch, who had indeed
spread one side with butte* almost an
inch tbick. “The ride that h to you
shall be to me,” cried William, and
making a dash at the cake he ran out
of tho but canning the witche’s tupper
with him as a trophy. The old wora-
began to curse aud to hope the mor
sel might kill him; but William was
0 eat anything that wai fash-
oined by such uncanny hands. The
ch it was who ale up in her fury all
that her visiter did not carry off, so she
died of her unhallowed meal, to the
great joy of Lord Reay and ail her
neighbors.”
Some incidents of eecon^ sight are
thus recorded:
A carpenter assures us that when a
biy in Assynt he was one day herding
sheep, when he beheld a four-wheeled
carriage—thing he had never seen in
his life—with a pair of horses and har
ness that shone in the sun, coming
down at a quick pace a 3pur of one of
the most ragged hills in Southerland.
He thought no mote of the apparition,
though it wa9 sufficiently wonderful,
that side of tho loch there was
not a yard of road. He left Assynt;
Dor did he return till a few years ago,
when the road that now runs to Glen
Dhu was made. One day, lying «gain
above tho tarn, he s^w an open carriage
and a pair of horses come quickly along
the new road, at the very spot where
his prophetic vehicle had, thirty years
ago, crccscd the steep incline.
The writer relates that part of the
estate of Kmbo, recently bought by the
Duke of Southerland, consists of an
open moor sloping towards tne sea, and
on this ground spectral hosts have been
repeatedly seen charging and repulsing
each other. People crossing the moor
have been seen by others surrounded
by armies, of which they saw nothing.

Hunting for Corruption.
The people of New York do not
have that profound respect for their
legislature that they ought. If their
newspapers express their sentiments
they believe there are a good many
rogues among their legislators. Indeed
some of the members of the legislature
seem to be ashamed ot their connection
with that body. One of them said on
the floor of the House the ether day
&at he was no longer proud of his po
sition as a legislator.
The New York legislature ha3 not
enjoyed on enviable reputation for in
tegrity for years, a good many of its
members seem to be always looking out
for a job of some kind or another out
of which to make money. An effort
is now being made to find out who gpt
about $100,000 out of a little transact
ion iu which the state is interested.
The legislature last winter authorized
the stane ceiling of the hall of the
House to be replaced with one of steel
and oak, because the stone ceiling had
become dangerous When the House
met this winter it was found that a
plaster of pzris ceiling, instead of^ oak,
had been put in place of the etone one,
and that somebody had pocketed a
large sum of money.
A committee was authorized to in
vestigate the matter, and on Tuesday
it was stated in the newspapers that
bribe of $5Jj00 had boen offered to
member of the committee to sign a
white-washing report. The member
referred to admitted that an attempt
hed been male to bribe him, but he re
fused to give tho Dame of briber, and
House declined to order an inves
tigation of his statement.
The legislatures in the couth during
carpet-bag rule were very corrupt bod
ies, tut it is doubtful if they were
more coriupt than the New York legis
lature is. It is nofcio b> wooderei at
that there are menbers of it who are
ashamed to admit thtir connccton with
it. Cannot the people of New York
find men to represent them whose in
tegrity is unquestionable What a sad
condition of affairs it is when it be
comes necessary to question the integri
ty of legislators who themselves
gaged in investigating the integrity ot
other?! The New York capito! has
cost a mint of money, but it is quite
safe to say that all of it was not spent
on the building. Doubtless a good many
men who have been members of the
legislature could tell what became of a
great deal of that which was not spent
upon the building.—News.
Public Execution,
is a. disgrace to our state that
the recent hanging in Marietta was
public. It is unfortunately true that
thousands of people will flock to see
criminal swung between heaven
and earth, though the sight must be
revolting one. The taking of a
human life, even though it be done
by the due process of law, is a terri
bly solemn thing;* but when it is
done in public it loses touch of its
ful nature and becomes like a
Spanish bull fight. The law and the
wretched criminal “lock horns” for
the diversion ol the mob.
Hamming to all, an execution
often excites pity and in the minds of
many the criminal, who justly atones
for the crime with his life, hangs a
martyr. Some half-witted fools envy
the criminal his notorious death and
dare commit murder to die the ob
served often thousand eyes.
Let the great state of Georgia
have her criminals executed in pri
vate, where none but the sheriff as
the representative of the law, the
minister, who seeks to point the con
demned to the skies, aDd the poor
wretch himself, shall solemnly and
alone satisfy an outraged law. It
were better for the criminal, it were
better for the public.—Banner
Watchman, Athens.

A Specimen of Irish Wit.
Judge Duffy gave me an illustra
lion oi the ready wit of the Celtic
race yesterday. A turbulent Irishman,
somewhat the worse for liquor, was
brought up before him for disorderly
conduct. It required the united
efforts of two blue-coated gen& to
arraign him at the bar of justice.
‘What brought you here?*’ asked the
judge, eyeing the culpnt sternly.
“Two policemen,” was the una
bashed answer.
“Didn’t drink have something to
do with it?”
“To be sure,” quickly responded
the Hibernian. “They were both
drunk.”
Control of the House.
Washington, Feb. 14.—The dem
ocrats of the House who have been ro-
elected to the next congress have been
conferring informally ss to the coarse
of action which they should pursue in
the next congress . in view of the an
nounced determination of the republi
cans to change the rules, and seat their
ultimate majority as speedily ms possi
ble. Two courses have been suggested.
The first b thst the democrats should
let the republicans have their own way,
interposing only ordinary opposition to
ail the republican schemes. In the
words of a prominent democrat, “Give
the republicans rope enough to hang
themselves.” This was regarded as the
partisan course, which seemed to prom
ise most speedly advantages.
THE OTHER PLAN.
The other cour^ was to vigorously
and persistently oppose the republicans
at every step, to the extent of filibus
tering, if necessary. Thb 6eemed the
more patriotic course to the democrats,
who deemed it their doty to check the
bad legirlation the rupublicaus propose.
The latter course, it b understood, has
been determined on. The democrat*
st the first efforts of the repub
licans to make themselves absolute
masters of the House with the aid of
Mr. Randall, who will be reappoiated
democratic member of the committee
on rules, whoever is elected speaker.
The republicans will control the com
mittee on rules from the beginning.
FIRST MOVEMENTS OF THE ENEMY.
Thtir first move will be to report
from that committee new rules to
abridge the lights of the minority so as
to facilitate speedy disposition of the
contested election cases, in which it is
proposed to teat republicans. The
democrats are willing to give fair con
sideration to the election contests, but
not to allow the republicans to carry
out, without resistance, a wholesale
plan of'seating their “ultimate majori
ty.” This is why the extra session, if
.lied, will be a long one, and also why
so necessary to begin the ses-
as speedily as
of the next
possible.
Sights in Copenhagen.
Copenhagen is an old city, too little

tourists who take Europe in encyclo-
fajJic gulp and think “one summer”

true Venice of tho Vikings—quaint,
high-colored, channeled and canaled
by threads of glittering water, full of
hitecture all its own, and tingling
with a life, provincial, if you choose to
call it so, but none the less charming
and individual on that acc.unt. The
bright Danish faces, scoured like tho
surfaces of an old Dutch knocker, have
French airiness; the women are de
cidedly pretty; thefe is an indefinable
‘style” in the midit of their very pro-
incialism; and the streets present a
panorama of sights and sounds that
docs not easily leave the memory. Per
haps it is the water that glitters in the
mind; the perpetual, fresh, bustling,
teimpering Baltic; the playful canals,
full of tall-masted boats; the profiles of
Swedish meuntains looming across the
ea; the showers mingled with shine
that give the climate of Denmark in
summer its undine like charm. It b

pearl of gr-i*t price unknown as yet to
travelers,waiting, ready ta be discovered

Athens Banner Watchman: The best
one beard lately comes from Ocpnee
county. A committee was appointed
by the grand jury to examine Sheriff
Overby’s books, to see if hb charges
were right on keepiog the prisoners.
The sheriff is allowed a small 6um for
turning the key on each prisoner, as
he goes in the jail and eome3 out. In
hb books he charged “turnkey” fifty
cuts. The committee saw the charge
and pronoucoed it turkey. Thb
ei tho committee to put 00 their study
ing caps, and wonoer if the sheriff was
feeding the prisoners on turkeys. They
soon found on the 17th -of January
‘turnkey’’ fifty cjntf, and on the 18th
when the prisoner was released, they
would again find turnkey fifty ceata
which they mistook for turkey. They
thought they had discovered the cause
of Sheriff Overby’s wealth, and that he
was eating turkeys and charging them
to the county. Afteril
the committee wanted the whole bnri-
hashed up, but it accidentally
leaked out, and it b now dangerous to
■ay “turkej” to any member ot tbs
committee who examined the books.

requires a great deal of solid and
liquid food. The steward of a cer
tain liner took on at Liverpool for
the last round voyage 1,000 bottles
of champagne, 9,000 of claret, 6,000
of ale, 2,500 of porter, 5,000 of min
eral water, and 700 of spirits. They
used last year on their line of steam
ers 8,030 quarts aud 17,613 pints of
champagne. The Americans drink
the greater part ot the champagne.
They call for five quarts of it to one
of any other nationality.
They also used on that line last
J car I 3»94 I quarts and 7,310 pints of
claret. This had the largest sale
among the French travelers, and in
deed all the passengers from the con
tinenl preferred claret.
The Britishers drank the greater
part ot the year’s supply of ale and
porter, in all 480,900 bottles. This
with 175,000 bottles of mineral w:
ter, made enough liquid to float one
of their ships in. Pretty good show
ing, that, in the way of wet goods,
isn’t it?
The other vices weren’t neglected.
The steward says their line used last
year 35,000 pounds of tobacco, 65,-
cigars, and 57,000 cigarettes;
the lemons used on shipboard aver
aged two apiece every day, apples
the same, oranges leading with three
apiece each day.
The steward says: “Wc sailed
from Liverpool with 547 cabin pas
sengers and 300 in the crew. We
had on board when wc started 12,-
500 pounds of fresh beef, 700 pounds
of corned beef, 5,000 pounds of mut
ton, 850 pounds of lamb, 350 pounds
of veal, 350 pounds of pork. There
were besides 2,000 pounds of fresh
fish, 600 fowls, 300 chickens, 100
ducks, 50 geese, 80 turkeys, 200
brace of grouse, 15 tons of potatoes,
30 hampers of vegetables, 280 quarts
of ice cream, 1,000 quarts of milk,
eggs-
“In the dry groceries there were
650 pounds of tea, 1,200 pounds of
coffee, 1,600 pounds of white sugar,
750 pounds of pulverized sugar, 1,-
500 pounds of cheese, 2,000 pounds
of butter, 3,500 pounds of ham and
1,000 pounds of bacon. You can
form from this list of figures what it
costs to victual the vessel for every
voyage.
“My figures are not done yet. This
line uses 20,000 tons of ice every
year, and an average of 1,000 tons
of coal every day. They use 104,-
gallons of engine oil for one
item, and an average of 4 pounds of
meat a minute, or over 20,000,000
pounds a year. They use 22 tons of
raisins and currants, over 1,000,000
eggs, the average being one every
minute. They use 1 1-2 tons of mus-
tard, 13 tons of peas, 17 tons of rice,
and 460 tons of flour, exclusive of
the 50,000 loaves ot bread. They
use 15 tons ot cheese and 1 o of ycl*
low soap, not counting the toilet
soap. These are only the figures of
one line, and there are many. Here's
one more little item, which is that
they break 500 worth of crockery
every round trip.”

social and buuneas life as that of the
position of women in TCgard to educa

An Association for Marking the
Position of Troops Engaged.
Washington, February 14.-
joint meeting of union and confed
erate veterans who were engaged at
Chicamauga was held to-day in the
room of the senate committee on
military affairs. The object was to
devise a plan for preserving that field
and marking the positions of all the
forces that participated in the fight
General Henry M. Cist, of Cincin
nati, chairman of the committee of
the Society of the Army of the Cum
berland charged with this subject,
called the committee here last night
It organized and invited co-operation
from the confederates.
VETERANS AT THE MEETING.
The meeting to-day was the result,
and there were present Generals
Rosecrans, Baird, Reynolds, Cist,
Mandcrson and Boynton, and Col
onel Kellogg, of the Union officers,
and Generals Bate, of Tennessee;
Colquitt, of Georgia; Walthall of
Mississippi; Wheeler, of Alabama;
Wright, of Tennessee, and Colonels
Bankhead, of Alabama, and Morgan,
of Mississippi.
The plan of preserving and mark
ing the field of Chicamauga under
the auspices of a joint memorial cor
poration representing all the states
that had troops there, patterned ir
general after the Gettysburg associa
tion, was cordially approved. Gen
erals Cist and Colquitt were appoint
ed a committee, with power to add
four to their number, to prepare an
act of incorporation and correspond
with leading officers from each state
whose troops fought at Chicamauga,
with the view of securing a proper
list of the incorporators. This com
mittee will meet tomorrow to begin
ork. A number ot officers on each
side, members of either the house or
the senate, who are greatly interested
this project, were detained from
the meeting by the debates in which
they were engaged.
The Work and Wages of Wo
men.
The rccimt report of Labor Commis
sioner \V right, gives torn6 very impor
tant information abot«t the work and
wagci of women. Tho comuii'sioner
concludes bis report as follow#:
“A quarter of a century ago women
were allowed to enter bat few occu
pations. Now there arc hundreds of
occupations in which they c»n find
pheasant and profitable employment.
The present report names 342 of them.
Whenever a ay industrial operations
iplified to such an extent that
tho weaker person • can perform what
was done of oil by tho stronger one,
the cheaper labor come* in and labor
must of ncc-ifisity bj lowered temporar
ily, whether to the one formerly per
forming the labor or to the new comer.
80, as the adult mao in the light oc
cupations haft given place to the wo
men or to the young person, wages in
ipcciflc employment have decreased ai
compared with the former wages of the
man; but they have vastly increased as
pared with the form:-r wages of the
wTmen or the youcg person. For an
increase in wages women must depend
upon industrial and economic ondi*
tiocs, and not upon Initiative enact
ments, or even upon concerted actions
of persons charitably sod benevolently
disposed. The tocial rtandiog of
working women is becoming better and
etler. The hoccftt working woman
dgaged in honc»t labor is entitled to
tbe respert of an honest-minded %eo-
She ahould be welcomed in the
churclus of the cities, and should be
drawn into the beat avsociati ms, where
social and moral surroundings would
aid her in cultivating her own sill-re
spect. At le*‘t it should not bj pos
sible to ci*« her as the “forgotten
woman,” for her struggle is too hero
ic, her hardship! too painful, h<r lot
too dreary for Christian people to
thcuzhtkssly past her by,”
An American who recently heard
Bismarck deliver a speech in tloc
German Reichstag is quoted assay
ing: “The old Chancellor stand*
without a stoop. Hi* broad shoul
ders arc very tquare. IDs head b
thrown back upon them. Hb fuse
eyes (hb eyes, very large and pierc
ing, arc what one first remark* on
seeing Bismarck) glare out from
under hb shaggy brows as the Chan
cellor laces hw bitterest enemy in
German politic*.”
Many a husband b kw4 in worsder

that spasks hb children and serves

to whicn he used to write sonnets
and which he never kissed without a
sense of reverence amounting to tap*
