GOOD BREEDING.

Ewyono withes, or ought to Irlih, to be a well bred person bat everyone la not, and many who think they are very pinks of politenem lack a vast deal of being well bred.

At the very foundation of good bre^d inglieo a good heart in fact there can be no real genuine good breeding with out this. The manor woman who always concerned to make others happy to please and benefit them, oomes very near being a true lady or gentleman Snob persons are always welcome every door is gladly opened to them. They warm like the sunshine. It is a pleasure to grasp their hands. Their laoes beam kindness and good will. They are home everywhere, and make everyone around them feel at home. Social In teroonrse is changed from a task to delight by the geniality of their spirits. They may, and often do commit blua ders, but no note is taken of it, for it ia felt that no offense was intended. The act is forgotten, the manner only remembered. It is in society as in law there can be no offense where there was no Intention to offend.

Far otherwise is it with those whose hearts are Ailed with envy, Jealousy ana bitterness who cannot see anything good in humankind, or at least see so much that is evil in it who think much of self and little of others who say many ungracious, and few kind things. They keep on band a large cargo of sarcasm, and make use of it freely. The arrows of wit which they aim are tipped with venom, and never fail to reach the heart of their victim. Such persons are feared more than they are loved, and are not welcome guests on all oooasions. One bandies tbem very muoh as he would a pet viper—apparently with unbounded confidence, but with no lit tie seoret fear does not know how soon himself or his friends may be bitten. He who is quick to imsgine evil of others, and to detect an impure motive for the moet innocent action, is no true gentleman. Oood breeding has a large mixture of charity in it, and instinct ively sees the best side of people.

There are some minor sins against good breeding which are worthy of notioe. One of these is egotism. Some people of very good hearts are guilty of this sin. Egotism may be direct or in direct. Direct egotism is where the per son speaks much of himself and his own exploits, as if the most trivial act of his were possessed of vast significance. He is never tired of parading his Important life before the eyes of men, and evidently fancies that he is a very superior being. Egotism of this sort is gross and disgusting.

The indireot kind is more refined and ingenious but hardly less disagreeable It oonslsta not in parading the individual obnoxiously, but in giving undue prominence and superiority to the things whioh surround him. Whatever suoh a person possesses or has to do with becomes imbued with a peculiar virtue. His house, bis horse, his books, his furniture, everything that is his possesses some quality of superiority which distinguishes it from those of others. His friends are all remarkable men and women his ohlldren are quite out of tho common run. He is the center of a little world that is altogether different from the world of common mortals. It is unique, original, exalted. The ingenious manner in which, by a few delicate strokes, he manages to paint this label of superior excellence upon everything that inhabits his little world is well calculated to deceive for a time. But presently the trick discdoses itself and the spirit of the egotist is perceived behind the soenes.

Another sin against good breeding is the habit of prolixity. Some people can tell nothing in lees than half an hour. They deeoend into all the petty details and overwhelm you with so muoh that is immaterial that you lose patience waiting for the gist of the story. It is not good manners to thus consume the listener's time with unnecessary and uninteresting trivialities and make him a prisoner from a sheer sense of politeness.

Another sin Is that *f dogmatism. People afflicted with this distemper can never be satisfied while any one disagrees with them. They have such an exalted idea of their own opinions that they imagine everybody ought to aooept them unquestioningly. With these people conversation becomes a set speeoh, and they will argue like a paid advocate to a jury. Modest men and women yield tbe point for the sake of peaoe, but they are more or less hurt at being reduced to such a necessity.

Another sin is that of talking too much and not being willing to listen. Many a man who has bored you with a doll story half an hour long gives unmistakable signs of ennui before you have spoken three minutes. Nothing delights him so much as tbe sound of his own voioe nothing interests him so little as tbe words of any one else. Such a person frequently Imagines that be is well bred but he la not.

AT Newport, on Thursday, Walter Watson was hanged, and paid the penalty for shooting Bars Compton, at Highland, on tbe 10th of January last. It wss one of the most causeless and cold-blooded murders ever committed in this vicinity, and tbe punishment has very properly followed quickly.

THE MINING CRAZE. The present silver mining excitement promises to almost equal that of the Pike's Peak period. In all the large towns and allies men are talking and planning bow to make fortunea In a day. 8took companies are organised for mining the precious metals, in Oblorado, •riaona and elsewhere, and the air is filled with wonderful stories of unpreoe dented production of mines lately dis covered. Oue man in the course of a few montha haa risen from tbe rank of a common laborer to the poetiion of a millionaire another haa bought a mine for |5,000 and a week afterwards sold it for 160,000 or |500,000, or perhaps five miliums, aooording to the ambition of tbe narrator and the credulity of the listener*. Indeed, if one were to judge from the talk of these wttae-omantaca, he would be compelled to believe that tbe whole range of the Rocky Mountalna was little else than a thin abell packed as full of silver as a plugged tooth. In order to beoome the possessor of a princely fortune, all that la necessary ia to go west and "locate a mine." It only ooeta 91.50 to do it and an outlay of 9190 a year in work on it. Of course in a few years, when the railroad gets op to it, It will be worth anywhere in tbe hundred thousanda. Who would not have a silver mine on such terms!

Men go out and view tbe promiaed land and come back filled with enthusiasm and excitement to apread the oontagion among their neighbors. The fire once kindled la eaaily fed. Staid men catch the fever, and find their former pursuits grown inspired and tame in contrast with the golden possibilities whioh have taken possession of their minds.

In all this wild talk one thing is forgotten, viz: that the failuree are not heard of. Doubtlees fortunes have been made suddenly by a low lucky men, and these are multiplied and heralded from one end of the land to tbe other. Of the many who have loot the little they bad, and gained nothing, no word comes back. But no matter for that the ex oitement goes on increasing, and men put their money into mining stocks, firmly convinced that they will reap a golden harvest. Now and then one exceptionally shrewd or lucky man may chance upon a good thing, but there will be many bitter ones. It will turn out like dealing in grain margins there will be many burnt fingers, and thousands of men will live to regret that they ever had anything to do with silver mines in remote regions will wish that they bad stuck to their regular business and been satisfied with small bat sure profits. The safest course is to let these periodic waves of speculative excitement break over one, and not be carried away upon them. When they have spent their force, tbe men who were not swept away by theqi will generally be found in the most enviable situations.

THK Forty-Sixth Gongress is not exaotly the Democratic matinee that was anticipated. Although tbe Republicans are in the minority they manage to make themselves pretty lively and there is small probability of their preaenee being forgotten. There have been some debates reoently which were keenly flavored with the old war spirit. This was notably the case in the House the other day when some of the Southern members, indiscreetly pluming themselves upon their recapture of the government, Mr. Frye, of Maine, opened up a battery of hot shot upon their works which rather surprised them by tbe viger of its fire. By the time he and his colleagues had got through, tbe representatives of the "Lost Cause" evidently felt that they bad commenced hallooing before they were out of the woods and the more conservative of them were dispoeed to draw off for repairs. It ia announced In a semi-official manner that tbe President will veto the appropriation bills if they come to him with Improper political legislation tacked to them, and he expresses tbe opinion that tbe wheels of the government will not be permitted to stop for lack of appropriations, as be believes the Democrats will yield before thst time. If this should be so perhaps tbe pyrotechnical diaplay tbe country has been witnessing of late will prove beneficial rather than harmful, by burning out some of tbe poison In the political atmosphere. One thing is certain, namely, that the late prooeedinga at Washington have sent Grant stock up several degrees and will probably send it still higher.

IT appears that tbe new fee ind salary law, from which so muoh was expected, Is of small consequence, after all. Tbe reduction made in tbe salaries of State offloers amounts to nothing, while the fees of oounty officials will average about the same as under the former law. It is even asserted that In ooantles containing over 15,000 population (and this class Includes most of the oonniies In the State) the foes ate actually increased. Jurors, however, sre reduced to $160 per day and must board themselves. This fact may render pro* fcesional jurymen leas popular. ..•3

view of tbe westward movement among the colored people of tbe South, It has been suggested as a method of stopping it that Congress pass a bill similar to tbe antl-Cbfneae Mil, prohibiting steamers going up tbe Mississippi from carrying more than fifteen colored people at a time. Why notf If It was proper to restrict tbe free movement of tbe Celestials by such a measure, why will not tbe rule apply equally well to the Africans? Tbe only dsnger Is that another veto might intervene.

of tbe most interesting soenes in

this city of a Saturday afternoon is tbe delivery of The Mail to about oue bun dred and fifty newaboys. It is a scene peculiar to The Mail and not to he seen about any other newspaper publication in thia city. Tbe delivery commences a few minutes before three o'clock, and we extend a oordlal invitation to all readers of this psper to call at Tbe Mall office on any Saturday at that time. We eapecially invite advertisers who may be Interested in knowing the extent of The Mall's city circulation. Regular advertisers will have their faith strengthened, and those who do not use these columns will bsve their eyes opened to the fact that they are missing the benefits of a valuable advertising medium.

PLANT SHADE TREES, wl Now is the time to plant sbaae trees, and every property holder who has not attended to this matter in former yeara, should do so at once—not solely for his own comfort and the improvement of his property, but for the general good. Few cities are so favored with shade trees as this beautiful Prairie City, few towns where it is so easy to escape from the glare of the summer sun, and yet breathe the fresh air. Lining our streets and encroaching even into the busiest localities, stretching out the long avenues, tbe trees stand olose and heavy, and over the hot pavements, constantly trodden by weary feet, they throw their great boughs of protection, and shield and refresh those who otherwise would be prostrated by the fierceness of tbe heat. Tbe myriad leaves flutter in the air and give new impetus to the lightest wind, and make it possible to endure tbe scorching atmosphere. The trees are tbe grand benefactors of the city, and what is due to tbem of exemption from sickness and death can hardly be recounted. But there are a few waste places where trees should be planted. Tbe cost is a mere trifle compared with tbe inestimable benefits. Plant Trees.

Companies have sprung up in every part of the Union for making an "Imita.tion Singer Machine."

Why are not similar companies formed for making Imitations of other Sewing Machines?

The publlo will draw its own inference. Gold is continually countefeited brass and tin never!
