Politeness at Home.
Should your acquaintance tread ou
-our dress, your best j'our very best
and by accident tear it, how profuse you
are with your " never mind don't think
of it I don't care at all." If a- husband
does it he gets a frown; if a child, he is
chastised.
'"Ah! these are little things." say you.
They tell mightily on the heart, "be as.
sured. little as they are.
A gentleman stops at a frieud's house
and finds it in confusion. Jle don't see
anything to apoloaize for; never thinks
of such matter; everything is all right,"
cold supper, cold room, crying children,
" perfectly comfortable."
He goes home; his wife has taken care
of the sick ones, and worked her life al
most out. " Don't see why things can t
be kept in order; there never were such
cross children." No apologies except
awav from home.
Why not be Klite at home? Why not
ue freely the golden coin of courtesy?
Ilowswtct they sound, those little words,
" I thank you," or 4 -you are very kind."
Doubly, yes. trebly sweet from the lips we
love, w hen heart smiles make the eve
sparkle with the clear light of affection.
Be polite to your children. Do you ex
pect them to be mindful of j-our welfare,
to grow glad at vr approach, to bound
away to do your pleasure before your re
quest is halt" spoken ? Then wiih all your
iicnity and authority nuncle politeness.
Give it a niche in your household temple.
Onlv ihen will you have the true secret of
sending out ino the world rcallv finished
gentlemen and ladies. Christ itn Union.
Nature is the battle field of life. There
h terrible fighting there, but no sufficient
observer to report it.

Walk I nir.
There are not many of our American
women, it is said, who know anything
about the pleasures of walking at any
rate, among those who live in cities. The
stout country girl, 10 Im sure, wiU cross
pasture after pasture, and pick her way
over swamps, np one hill Mid down an
other, and walk her miles to church, and
never know it. But even the strong and
healthy country girl seldom does it for the
pleasure of the exercise, lor exhilaration
and invigorating motion, but to see a
neighbor, to do an errandwto go berrying,
to go nutiintr, or to carry on her love af
fair; and w hen she lias none of this to do,
she stay at home. But the women of
cities have no such diversions to call them
out. They take a stage, and are tired to
death, when they go shopping. Thev
call it walking when they stroll graceful
ly by the shop windows. What do tbey
want of more walking thin that? They
are not tramps. They know their feet
were given them for dancing, but they
are never going to make distance on a
wager. If i'. were not for the dancing,
though, thev might almost as well have
1 the feet of Chinese women. No; they
are delicate, or they are indolent, or they
are too much engaged, or they are rich
and can drive, and for the rest, there are
the stage and the street car.
Now, as the spring opens, and the earth
is wholesome and elastic, and the wooing
air invites, and there is all the wjrlil to
ste, with south wind blowing and nature
budding, whv may not our women begin
to practice a little real walking, and dis
cover if they would not like it, if they
I could learn the ait, for art it is? The
dainty foot in the dainty lioot may have
the art oi strolling to perfection; but the
quick sturdy fall, the instantaneous but
measured transfer of the weight from one
limb to the other, the free swing of the
limb from the hip thoe movements are
to be made in walking, and are very dif
ferent things from the stroll and lounge.
They are things to be learned as much as
redowa and galop, - and we advise our
friends to lose no time in learning them
and liecome walkers.
It is not merely to take the walk down
the thoroughfare for the sake of the bright
faces, the cheerful atmosphere, the shop
windows, with their spring temptations;
it is not merely to take the walk down
the rustic lane for the sake of stirring up
the spawn of frogs, like lucid strings of
pearl, in the way-side pool, of gathering
the first purple hepatieas, wrapped in
their last year's red leaf under the shadow
of the broken granite that they love, ot
getting the first weird from robin or blue
bird, of observing nature in general, al
though all that is a great school whose
lessons it is well to know; but it is to
walk for the sake of walking, for the sake
of the sense of traversing distance and tie
lying space, of milking lime of no ac
count; for the sake of feeling the blond
course through the veins in rolling tides,
of having every faculty kindle as you go;
for the sake of feeling the mastery of man
over himself ami matter and woman is
a part of man. For all that is what fine
swift walking in a pleasant air and with
a good companion makes one feel. And,
moreover, it does a good, not so imme
diately apparent, in the hardening of mus
cle and fiber, iu the usage to exertion, in
the toning up ol the whole system so that
it becomes much less liable to the assaults
of disease, in the rousing of energy and
w ill. As Hie horseman loves the gallop
of his steed w ith the wand in his lace, as
the boatman loves the wild flight of his
skill' from sea to sea, as the conquering
swimmer loves the butl'et with the wave,
as the hawk hives his long easy flight in
upper air, so does the genuine walker
love that exciting and refreshing move
incut. As he walks, he feels at fiist the
full play of every sinew and nerve ten
there is no dawdling in this true walking
feels the invigoration ot his hastening
blood; but presently the movement be
comes, iis you might almost say, automa
tic. He forgets all about his body; he is
hardly conscious that he w ills the move
ment; he is carried on by the impetus of
the first action of will, the first ensuing
motion; his brain is stimulated, if he
has it companion, his w it comes fast and
free. It seems to -hi 111, when he thinks of
it, as though he slid over the surface of
the ground with wings upon his feet, as
Mercury wore the talaria. That, at any
rate, is the report which the good walkers
give of their experience in walking; and
if that pleasure be not attraction enough,
we think our friends may find a still lur
ther one in the fact that the rapid and
universal action which walking gives sets
the organs into such unison and glow
that they work together in harmony and
comfort. tJomplexions are cleared from
their impurities, eyes are made bri.ghter.
digestion is perfected, rounded flesh takes
the place of flaccid fiber, grace becomes a
thing of nature rather than art, andhealih
a tolerably permanent possession. In
fact, we should be prepared to say that
w alking was the mother of all the virtues
and all the graces, if we had not known
some exceedingly bad walkers. Ilaiper'x

Uncle Daniel's Sharp Son-in-Law.
Mr. Drew had a daughter who was a
widow and very rich, lit r father was
trustee, and had the handling ot her
money. He kept her money w ith his own
and it was all mixed up financially and
speculatively. The lady married a min
ister, and the father did not object, sup
posing that a simple-hearted minister
wouldn't look very closely into the man
ner in which his wife's money was invest
ed. He had a rich wife, and that was
enough. The man had an eye to busi
ness, and as sot .11 as the honeymoon was
over he began to overlook his wife's es
tate. He did not believe that it wys wise
or safe that a woman's property should be
floating about the street. He called Mr.
Drew's attention to the matter, demand
ing an accounting, and ! insisted that his
wife's property should lie immediately
and safely invested. The great bear was
astonished and indignant, and reminded
the minister that he had better attend to

stiom of speculation, and guarding her
against bankruptcy and want, was apart
of his business. "lie pressed the matter

Coin? Too Far.
The Democratic policy of driving out of
office all the old Republican employes of
the House of Representatives, and tilling
their places with a set of clatnoroiH and
hungry Democratic, office-seekers, has re
sulted, says the Detroit Tribune, in serious
inconvenience and injury to the public
service in many respects. The late-t
illustration ot the bad effects of thus re
moving experienced officers and tilling
their places with new mn w hose only rec
ommendation or qualification is that they
have been useful Democratic politicians,
is thus stated in the Washington dis
patches to the Cincinnati Gazette:
44The Democrats have been obliged to
confess that in one important matter,
namely: that of ventilating the hall ot the
House, they let the rage for 4 bouncing' all
the employes -about the House go too far.
A Democrat has felt called upon to offer a
resolution directing theJerk to di.-charge
the chief engineer of the IJ.nu.-e. At the
opening of the session, on account of the
rush for place, the old and skilled man
agers of the heating and ventilation were
discharged, and very green men, who
knew nothing about their duties, were ap
pointed. As a result there has been a con
stantly increasing sick list among the
members, arising from tne lact mat coin
air has been blown in on their leet, and
been at times poured dow n on their heads.
There have been currents where there
ought to be quiet, and drafts where there
should be none. At times the House lias
iK-en as cold as the bitter out-door air, and
soon nfter as hot as coal could make it.
The sickness and discomfort have brought
the Democrats to terms, and now they are
looking for some one who can run the
machinery for heating and ventilation on
different principles from the tactics em
ployed in running ward polities."'
Force of the Wind.
The force of the wind when traveling
at high velocities is capable of producing
the most extraordinary effects on exposed
objects, such as buildings, trees, animals,
and even bodies of water. In March,
1h75, a series of destructive tornadoes
visited. .North and South Carolina and
Ge-orXa; and Sergt. Caiver, of the Signal
Service, was ordered to investigate their
character and effects. Among other re
markable instances of wind-force, he re
ported that "a rock weighing 1,XK)
pounds and having thirty-rive square feet
of exposed etirface was moved seven
feet." 44 A pine log, weighing 1,200
pounds and with thirty-five feet of ex
posed surface, was carried a quarter of a
mile." 44 A pine board was driven
through a telegraph-pole." " A bale of
cotton weighing .r)00 pounds was carried
a quarter ot a mile." The Sergeant ob
server calculates the following degrees
of lorce lor the relative velocity of the
wind: Pressure, 20 ! pounds per square
foot of exposed surface, velocity, 7:5. ;i
miles per hour ; lio.'t pounds, Ts. 1 miles;
77.7 pounds, 124.0 miles. He further es
timates that some of the results could not
have lieen produced by a wind travelling
at a less velocity thau alout 700 miles an
hour. A'. I'. Herald.

1 lie .Mississippi Investigation.
The fiction of the Senate in adopting a
resolution fur i tl vest i gating the n-ccnt
State election in Mississippi, was proper
and timely, and all the more so for two
reasons (1) the fact that a Presidential
election is soon to occur; which, from its
importance, will tend to intensify tin
anxiety of the enemies of the colore."
voters to control the South: and (2) be
cause the recent de.-isjon of the Supreme
f 'ourt of the United St ites, in respect to
Federal interference with such matters,
will be likely to encourage and embolden
the rebel element in their efforts to over
whelm loyal citizens.
As must be evidi nt to every reflecting
mind, something must be done to protect
ami sustain the colored race in the South
in their legal rights, if thev are to la
saved from utter subjection to ihe Wl'ito
Leagues, now nienacingthem w ith threats
of political evtcrmiiiHtion. They have no
guarantee for civil ris-hts, or for life it
self, aside from that given by Ihe Consti
tutional amendments and the lawsof Con
gress tinder them. There is scarcely a
State in all the South in which they would
be safe for sixty days, if left to the ten
der mercies of the whites. This fact is
manifest from the entire record of the re
lations of the two races.
Nor is this very strange. When we re
member what these relations have lieen
that for two centuries the ne was the sub
ject and the other the ruling race that
the tendency and effect ol sik h association,
in the nature of things, were to degrade
and intellectually and morally effeminate
the one class, while cultivating in the
other the spirit of domination and selfish
ness and that this condition "f things
has been disturbed and the subject iace
emancipated by a power outside of the
two, and under circumstances specially
repugnant to the ruling race when all
these things iire borne in mind, it. is not.
surprising that there should be an obsti
nate resistance on the part of the late mas
ters, and that they should cling to the
hope that, by some means or other, their
41 lost cause'.' may yet be regained. Even
though this 111 ty not beexpectcl in its full
import, the slaveless masters yet cherish
the thought that, though the Confederacy
be lost and chattel slavery iii its old l"iin
not again practicable, the bite slavcsnay
be denied the con lition of civil find polit

ward colored citizens disposed to support
their rights at the election," the fact
should be established, and the sooner the
better, and to Congress alone can the
country look for such steps as shall dis
close the truth, it is not the colored
citizens of that State alone that are con
cerned In the case, but those of every
other State; and not alone the colored
citizens of all the States, since the "fraud
and violence" thus employed in controll
ing the votes of that "class threaten
through these to control both the execu
tive and legislative branches of the Gov
ernment, and thus to dominat" over the
whole country. What good of honest,

be dictated by f raud and violence in the
disloyal States?
This view of the case m ikes entirely
plain both the interest and the duty of
the people of the entire country in the
investigation proposed. Whatever men
aces the ballot-box in one section, is an
assault on free government in every sec
tion; and the people of whatever set lion
w ho silently stand by and see that sacred
agency attacked, show themselves to be
untrue to both their rights nnd their duty.
Then let this investigation go on. Let the
facts be thoroughly sifted. If the reports
as to Mississippi be ineorieci, it is due to

it they be truthful let that fact be eatab
