A Lesson in Manners.

Hon. Leopold Morse, in aMpiverpool hotel, was advised in an offensive tone by an Englishman, of whom he asked a question, to address such inquiries in future to the porter. “I thought you were the porter,” returned Mr. Morse, “and furthermore,” added our ex-Cou-gressman, "since you say my addressing you was a rudeness, let me give you a lesson in manners. In America a gentleman thinks it only decent to answer, if he can, a decent question/, The rudeness was yours, sir, whoever you may be.’— Boston Transcript. \
