In the course of a long convovsition with the gentleman alluded to (whom most readers of this article will not need to 1K told was Charles Kern) T. T. took tho liberty of asking bitn how be accounted for his re* markable success In securing in

A timo a prize for which there was no doubt the most livolj competition, and that by some of tho ablest and craftiest politicians In the country. Tho reply was frank, straightforward, and characteristic of tho man, and it so well illustrates a |oint to which T. T. has often callod attention,—namely, the value of courto-y an element of success—that ho cannot resist the temptation to repeat it hero for the benefit of all IIM readers, a proceed re which he sincerely hopes and trusts will give :so oflense. "That I am popular In Chicago," said Mr. Kt*rit, "I cannot doubt, lor I ran about MX tliouHind votes ahead of tbo balancoof tho ticket, and I did it without resorting to a single disreputable or qifesfidnahlf I attribute this popularity chiefly to the fa-t that I havo always endeavored to do the square thing by everybody. 1 havo treated everybody with wlmin I have had anything to do, pleasantly nnd politely and whenover I e*n!(J do anyone a good turn, I have done it cheerfully and pro.njptly, frequently going considerably out of my way to do it. It is my disposition to bo cordial and friendly with people, ami to treat even tbo very roughest and humblest, courteously and like a gentle man. By these means I have constantly gained fcitmds and made almost no enemies. To bo Sheriff of Cook county has of course been uiy ambition for somo years, I have steadily kept it in view, confident that when the right timo came round I could honorably get the nomination and be elected. The result shows that my calculations were correct. And now that I am Sheriff I don't propose to disappoint anybody. I'll Hiakn tiiein the best one I know how."

Who*!* there that dons not acknowledge the charm of good manners— pleasant, cordial, courteous manners? Is there anywhere a human being wholly impervious to it Kren the mo»t brutal savage can understand a bow, or a smile, or kind act, and will in a measure respect it while among intelligent, cultivated fM'ople, nothing goes so far. Look ovor tho list of successful people, and you will Hrxf a larg* majority of them possessing what is called engaging manners. Trace tho history of their success and you will bo able to see liow almost all of it is the direct result of this gracious srt of making otbsr people comfortable.

yon are a gentleman, or a lady, like to be treated politely when you go into a dry goods store. And yon show that you like it. Not so with the ignorant boor. Ho will acknowledge politeness from a politician, or a professional swindler, or even a neighbor, and be gratified by it, but Hevor from a man who has anything to sell to him. But you, when you go int* a store to buy goods and the merchant or salesman receives you with every mark of being rejoiced to seo you, and interested In your health, and anxious to serve yc u, and ho smiles upon you as a person whom it is a distinguished honor to know and bo permitted to talk to, why you feel a delightful glow ot satisfaction and selfrespect warming you up, and stay there and buy till bedtime, and can't get enough—at his own prices. You aro a gentleman (or a lady) and can appreciate such things, and aro yourself as polite in return as any basket of chips. But if you ^o into a store where the clerk treats you in a cool, indifferent or pa tronizing manner us if it would be conferring a boon uiid blessing on you it he consented to sell you tho articles you came to bin*, don't von, orMhe honor of outraged American sovereign, fool like provuring that contemptible coun ter-jumper to bo shot away from tho mouth of a cannon?

IIAWYERS, COURTS AN')) CLIENTS. Very fow people but aro aware of tho expensivencss of litigation in this country and for tiic matter of that it is probably much tho samo everywhere. Tho rapidity with which a huge bill of costs ai cumulates in every litigated caso in nr courts is a matter of grave solicitude to the lawyer and ot completo astonishment often to tho client. What remedy might be 8iign*tod fur this evil (for an evil in certainly is) or whether or not tho nx|enses of our courts could bo materially rod need, aro questions which we lo not care to discuss at present. What we say is, tho administration of justice very expensive, often ruinously expensive, so that a n*an who remains long in litigation is not apt to reiuain long successful in anything else. There are men in every community who were once comfortably sitHated but who frittered away a competency in moro than f.uitless wrunglingsin tho courts. And yet expensive as it is and ruinous as it i.«, people keep plunging into tho vortex of litigation ns if it were the most pleasant and profitable business in tho world. Tho courts aro always crowded with business and cannot grind fast enough to koep tho hopper from running over with new complaints.

That excessivo litigation is an evil no one will deny. Jt takes a great army of men from the productive pursuits of life and consumes their time and labor in that which contributes nothing to the (ommoii good, But what is the remedy? Mo%t 'men do not go to law except for tho sake of obtaining their rights and these every man is entitled to and ought to have, rise there woukl be no occasion for courts and statutes.

One thing is familiar to lawyers which does not tteem to be so well understood by their el lout* and that is, that an ouncoof prevention is worth a pound of cure as well in law as In some other matter*. The set vices of the attorney are left too much to be exercised in the imart hous*. Half the litigation in our courts grows out of slip-shod contracts and carelessly written agreements and oeuld be spared ax well as not if the business to which it relates had been properly executed In tbo first place. Men pay large attorneys fees snd immense bills of crnta la order to avoid payinff a hundredth part as much for the advice aod servlees of a lawyer in the transaction of Important basivesa. Mo«t men never consult an attorney until they are served with a summons or find it neoeseary to have one served on some cue olsr. It never occur* to thdno thaHhr advice of a ftkillfnl laayrr might be beoadeial and valuable lo them st a certain juncture of their affairs tfeat it might save tbem a law suit or from becoming involved in disagreeable controversies. In diet meet people seem to.think that a lawyer can not possibly earn a fee until be tries a ease In eowrt and that bis ad vice Is a perfectly gratuitous commodity, like the sun or the rain. Cotsecjoently when they do go t# their attorney for advice aod lay a complicated Husiuess matter before him and have a long consultation with him, during ertflch he has probably examined a doaen

law books and oudgeled his brains over many knotty questions, they leave him with the gratifying assurance that in case they tthould, become involved in a suit they will certainly engage him to serve them so that the lawyer's reward for his timo and labor is made to depend wholly on the happening of tho very event ho has done bis best to keep (rom happening!' What wonder if such treatment should havo a tendency to make lawyers regard the multiplication •f law suits with favor? If their living is dependent wbol'y on litigating cases in court the more litigation the better for them. Tt doesn't require much arithmetic to reach tlist conclusion. No man cares to work for nothing aud consequently about the first thing he thinks of when employed for any service is, "will I be paid for this?" Itisso wlwh the lawyer. He thinks of his foe. If ho knows he will bt paid for his services ho works with good cheer if otherwise, how can ho bt blamed for thinking of something that will pay him There is no doubt but the advice which lawyers give would be vastly hotter if they wore always paid for it according to its valuo instead of not being paid for it at all. And there is no doubt either that a vast amount of useless and expensive litigation would be saved if men would get into the custom of consulting competent attorneys in every important step they take in busi ness and pay them liberally for their assistance and advice. There can be no doubt that tho most valuable service a lawyer can render Is to enable men so to transact their affairs that they will

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

From Tho Mall's Own Correspondent.] NEW YORK, NOV. 22, 1876. We have been undergoing one of those terribio wind and rain storms that oc casionally visit our city and sweep over it carrying a certain amount ot'devusta tion with them. Still, except from tho blowing down of a sign board, whisking off a little tin roofing, or at its greatest havo sending sonic arrogant chnrch spire over, the majority of things material and tho people thomcelves suffer very little. Certainly not tho who live in the better portions of the city. It is the poor wretches who liv« in tho cellars near tho rivers who are drowned out likoso many rats at such times and in all probabilit}' that is tho only occasion in which water touches them It is a little unfortunate that it should bo totally lacking in cleanliness, but such is, I am sorry twsay, tbo case.

The storm was sufficiently violent to keep every one in doors who was not obliged logo out, whilo nearly every railway train was delayed. As the

RKTUKXS ARE COM1NO IN,

the political excitement rises a little, but it has pretty well subsided. Crowds still gather around tbo bulletin boards when any new announcement is made, but they read it quietly, soon separate and go their ways with very little com mcnt. Our local politics attract more attention than those of the nation at large It is generally beliovec that John Kelly, who by the way, was married to-day, will succeed Green in the Comptrollership, and thoso who profess to know, say If Tilden is elected Green will be mado Socretary of tho Treasury. This, liowevor, was denied to me by one of Mr. Tilden's personal friends, for it is a well known feet that Andrew Green opposed Mr. Tilden's nomination at the time oljkhe Democratic conveuitqn, '-•1

We aro a strange, p!oaswra loving peopl9 here, and the return of Booth and Miss Morris to the stage, Monday evening, bad more weight with tho averngo New Yorker than all tho rumors that came from the Houth. He reads his papers In the morning, and dismisses the subject from his mind, being far more intent upon obtaining a good seat to see a favorite actor than troubled about a result which has passed from his power to aid or hinder.

We certainly enjoyed tho luxury of woo last night with Clara Morris as Miss Multon. The woman who could idealize poor, threadbare, worn-out C*niille, and nut a soul into what In other hands nad boon but a glimpse into demi-monde life, could not fail to make of this intense part, realistic creation th«t touched even tbo most world-hardened.

The plavisa decided tmnrovemert upon EastXynne, and Miss Morris was at ber best in tt. Miss Multon's first appearance Is ss a governess, snd she appears with gray balr. She is seeking Dr. Osborne's asKlstancs in this matter, and learns that he has Ibund her a place in the house of one of his patients, who proves to be the husband from whom she had been decoyed, by a trick some

sis of tbs events may be of Interest to

yenr readers. Actuated by love for ber ohlldren, she aocepte the pfaoe, Is st once recognised by ber husband, whe believing ber dead, has married again. The horror of tne situation rttsftm upon him, and be dstaroainea to accept ber s« Miss Multon. Sbe aoon wins the children's love, snd by that menus the

jealousy of the second wife a stormy «cene is the consequence, a»d Miss Moulton announces herself. The father brines in the children and bids her declare her shame to tbem. The ecene is tilled with the most intense passion. Women sobbed aloud, and many a man ftirtively wiped the tears away, when the poor mother turned away broken hearted and despairing, to leave a second time her children. Here the French

ulay ends, but a fifth actha^ been added in which the sad woman is seen dying at the house of the good doctor, forgivon hy her husband. It is one of the most intense pictures of human suffering and despair that has over been placed upon the stage, and Miss Morris makes of it a pre Itaphaelito picture.

Botn opcned.at the LJ'COHIIJ the tame night his father-in-law Mr. Viekerof Chicauo, being the lessee. Ho has been trying to make a raid on the ticketspec ulators, refusing to sell more than four tickets to one person, but they got the better of him after all, by placing their whole family and all iheir friends in line, and having each purchase two or hreo tickets. Booth drew an immense house of course, and I suppose it will be rank heresy to Bay a word against him. Still I must be permitted to have my little cavil-Booth, in my estimation, is not as good a Hamlet to-day as ho was when he played his first hundred n'ghts in New York. He has acquired stage tricks and mannerisms which he was not guilty of then, and at timos seems as it he held his audienco in contempt, and fairly guys the part. He did better Monday night than be has done lor some time past, iwr I have seen him in several other cities. Mr. Weiss can find uo humor in the grave digger, but ho will have to go and see Mr. McVickej- in tho part and then perhaps he may chance his opinion.

In my anxiety to say my say about Booth I forgot charming littlo Bijou Heron, whoso pathetic face, us one of Miss Multon's children, audhor admirable acting, won all hearts. She is the thorough artist already in every word and action "born so."

I havo dwelt more at length upon these matters than I usually care to bemuse they really have been the prin dpa! social as well as dramatic events of the week. All tho best known people in the fashionable and literary world were present at ono place or the othor both Monday and Tuesday evenings.

BOOKS AND AUTHORS.

I had the pleasure of meeting a short timo Ago at a friewd'samong other people, Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, the historian. Sb« is at present occupied upon a His tory of the City ol' New York which is being issued as a serial to be completed in thirty-two parts. Eight of these are already tietoro the public aud when irnished I cannot imagine a more delightful book lor the library. Tho narrative is sprightly and animated, and the history of some ot our old families exceedingly interesting. It is profusely illustrated, while tho type and paper are excollent. The frontispiece in the first number is a picture ot Manh.-.tlun Island evidently taken from the Brook lyn side, when eacn was still a wilderness, disturbed only by the moccasined foot of the savage. Whilo tho book is very interesting it is equally reliable, for Mrs. linmb is a member of tho New York storical Society and has had access to all their voluminous, original documents.

Another book that is attracting considerable attention here, among military men is Carrington's Battlas of the American Revolution frotu 177" to 1781, with criticisms from a historical and military point of view. The maps whicli accompany itseein to photograph tbo scenes and events upon the memory with a clearness that makes them seem facts instead of tho legends we are wont to Ivok upon them as being it is so hard to rnako any past event seem an actual occurrence

OUR ARTISTS

are all at work, busily, in the hope of a olden harvest for their labors at holiay time. No one among them perhaps more so than Mr. J. B. Irving. 1 is skill as a portrait painter is well known, and one of his most successful efforts in that line has been Mrs. Belmont's portrait which adorns tbo gallery the banker in his Fifth avenuo residence. Successful as he is in this line, howevor, Mr. Irving's fancy leads him to a similar style of subject* as those which made Meissonier famous. He is a follower of the samo school, and has bow on his easel a picture representing a group of eight cavaliejqiol the sixteenth century paying at earda. Kaoh face is a ttiiilv, aud the minuteness of detail is hardly surpassed by the great French artist himself.

Leaving art let me say ono word that will please the ladies. THE

WHKNtho good old New York Independent condescends to prints fl titerinrt notice of Mr. Augustin Daly under the head of Fine Arts, we may be excused for concluding that tbe chasm between the church and the theatre Js about to be bridged. The chasm has never been what the politicians undentsud by tbe phrase "llood* chasm," but it has been, for all that, a dangerous hole. We are glad to see The Independent has found way of getting over and around it.

People and Things.

Let's go back to tbe good old days of semi-weekly mails, when the news could be reliod on.

Spurgeon says a man who will do nothing to keep alivo a fellow creature's body can do very littlo te save his soul.

Nothing in tho world will more quickly inspire a buy with a desire for Bible teachings tbsn the approach of tbo Christmas tree season.—[Fulton Times.

A Glasgow clergyman hesitated to tell a dying man ho would go straight to heaven, and a brother of the patient stabbed the minister twice in the head, on tho ground that a preacher has no right to hang back on a thing like that.

The messenger who brought to tbe Opera House at Baltimore the news of tho death of Mrs. L. L. James reached the wings just as the husband el the dond woman, wholly unprepared for his loss, wassjcaking tho lines of Wllhelm Meister, "Wo never know the value of a jewel until we have lost it."p¥

A recently married man says that if there wore' ten thousaud drawers in a room, and you ask your wife to keep one sacred and inviolate for your own privato use, that particular one would be full of hair-pins, ribbons, loose hair, discarded buttons, gsrters and odd hose.

Tho mastery of a pure mind over human prejudices and passions is never so well exemplified as in the play of

C3n-

tending emotion that sweep over the f»a of a young lady at church when she looks on the same hymn-book with a man who has been eating onions.—[Burlington Hawkeye.

A cigar contains acetic, formic, butyric, valeric and propriouic acidia, prussic acid, creosote, carbolic acid, ammonis, sulphuretted hydrogen, pyridine, viridino, picolino and rubidene, to say nothing about cabbagine and burdockio acid. That's why you cau't get good one for less than five cents.

One of the latest phases of prejudioe hail been displayed at a Scottish church in Victoria. To satisfy the scruples of a teetotal section of the congregation at tho half yearly communion service, unferinented wine was furnished on one side of tbe aisle, and a particularly intoxicating cup on tho other,

Spurgeon adn-iits that there aro persons who should never go to church— thoso who wearo boots that squeak and ladies whose umbrellas aro always falling down with a snap. The great preacher believes in ventilation, and when the windows won't open he directs tbe smashing of a few panes of glass.

Tho Sultan of Turkey recently sent the Emperor of Morocco a present of eighteen women for bis barem. It is extremely gratifying that this mode of making presents is not customary among tho great men of this country. At the present price of bonnets and soalskin acq ties we should go west and grow up with tbe country if any one woro to present us with eighteen women.

We always did relish a bit of really fiue writing now and then, and this, from a country paper, is peculiarly good: "Death, witk fleshless knuckles, rapped at the door of Mrs. J. N. B's soul, and obedient to the inexorable call, the spirit of that loved woman floated up to its Creator, leaving her beloved husband, children and friends to mourn ovor the mortal casket." Such an obituary as that robs Death of half its terrors.

The following Is a passage of a letter usod as evidence in a breach of promise suit in San Francisco: "If one stom of the deep, deep love I feel for you is a?attcrcd throughout the whole world, I ean slake my life it will fill, if allowed to do so, the entire human raoo, and thenee Will derive the word commonly used as love. Good-by, my dearest dear, Yours till death and beyond eternity." Tho Writer wss asked wbfct be meant by such language and he replied: "Oh, I couldn't reasonably be expected to explain such stuff.*'

PKESIDKXT ELIOT says: "Tho employment of women In the schools in the enormous proportion in which they aro now employed in many towns and cities is an unwise economy, because it inevitably tends first, to make the body of teachers changing, fluctuating body, fast thinned and fast recruited, snd, secondly, to make teaching, sot a life work, sslt ought to be, but a temporary resort »n tbe way to another mod© of life."

Only sixteen piano makers got tbe first prize. We have a reporter sitting up nights now, to count the number of sewing mac bines which were similarly fortunate.

TntK Inter Oxui has dag up this piece of history: In 1836 Marcus Morton wss chosen Governor of Massachusetts by a majority of a single vote. And tbe remarkable fltct is, that the rival candidate didn't contest."

Perhaps Mr. Morton was a Democrat.
