THUS FAR.

Because my life has lain so close to thine, Because our hearts bare kept a common beat Became thine eyes, tamed toward me frank and sweet, Beveal sometimes thine unthougkt thoughts to mine— Think not that I, by curious design Or overstep of too impetuous feet, Oould desecrate thy soul's supreme retreat, ... Could disregard its quivering barrier line. Only a simple Levite I, who stand On the worid's skle of the most holy place Till, as the new day glorifies the east, One come to lift the veil with reverent hand. And enter with thy soul's soul face to face— fie whom thy God shall call to be high priest. A —Ellen Burroughs.

'I THE DECLINE OF POLITENESS.

IDeplorable Change Going On in the Manners of English Society*

The signal deterioration of manners that has for some tune been going on in what is called good society is every year becoming more glaring and more deplorable. The delicate and subtle deference which every gentleman used to pay to every woman, becauss she was a woman and for no other reason whatever, is already old fashioned, and promises shortly to become obsolete. No woman now thinks of expecting from any man the polite homage which once on a time was the privilege of one sex and the honor of the other. Men come into a room fall of ladies with as much indifference and sans faoon as though they were entering the morning room of their dab, and quit it with pre* cisely the same want of ceremony and self constraint. While in the society of women they loll, lean, and almost lie at their ease, as though they were in the bosom of their own family—indeed, with a free and easy gracelessncss that a generation ago no gentleman Would have permitted himself among his most intimate relatives. In the first approaches of members of one sex to members of the other, there is no longer any suavity, any hesitation, any well bred reserve men •ad women who scarcely know each other act as though they were hall-fellow-well-met, had been in the playground together, and been acquainted all their lives.

The demeanor of women, nowadays, to men is on a par with the male behavior we have described. Far from resenting the unceremoniousness with which they are treated by men who are in reality utter strangers to them, they go to meet it half way, and permit themselves to be on afoot of familiarity —as far as manner is concerned—with the first comer, provided he seems to be one of their "own feet," that could not be greater if their acquaintance had existed for years. The same "dont-care-o-hang" conduct is perceptible in the conduct of visitors and guests to their host and hostess.

The notion that people are to be specially honored in tbeir own houses has gone quite out of fashion. No one nowadays is -so antiquated in his ideas as to suppose that hospitality is to be regarded as a favor conferred on tho person to whom it is extended. On the contrary, it is the guest who confers an obligation by paying a call, accepting an invitation to dinner, or paying a country visit, and who has a perfect right to indulge in frank and free censure to his neighbors in case he does not find everything to his liking in the establishment he condescends to distinguish by his presence. In a word, guests nowadays treat hosts and hostesses as men treat yeomen—that is to say, as persons whom It is very good and amiable of them to notice at all. And where people really know each other Intimately, tho behavior of men to women, and vioe versa, is such as v.'ould have appalled the least ceremonious of our fathers. Women call men by their surname, without the prefix of Mr., or even by their Christian names, abbreviated to suit the currant taste for slang. And it is not shop girls or grocers' young men who do this, but ladies and gentlemen in good society.—-London Standard. Mr. W. W. Corcoran'# lluHlneas Methods.

Mr. Hyde, the white haired, gray whiskered, rosy faced, bluo eyed gentleman who has for forty years acted as the late Mr. W. W. Corcoran's private secretary, tells me that Mr. Corcoran's last business act was the signing of a real estate transfer. He says his mind was perfectly clear up to within a few days of his death, and that his business faculties were never more acute. "He had," •aid he, "a wonderful mind and very quick perceptive faculties. He decided instantly on any matter which came before him, and though he sometimes made mistakes he seldom doubted his judgment at the time. He had not good business habits as regarded the care of his own books. He kept the bqoks of others all right, but not his own.

I here looked at sorao of Mr. Hyde's methods, and they wero interesting as showing how a fortune of millions has been managed. Not a scrap of business paper is allowed to go to waste, and all of Mr. Corcoran's checks and receipts for years back have been numbered. His private secretary gave a receipt while I was present, and I noted that its number was in tho twenty-seven thousands. 1 was shown check' books that ran up in their numbers to orr-r 25,000, and Mr. Corcoran, after ho had ?d up one check book, did not begin anew number with the new booku, but went on until the numbers have cow reached tho tens of thousands. These receipt* aad checks are carefully labeled in packages of 100 and laid away in such a raanucr that they can be referred to in an instant* It is the samp with the other books all are thoroughly systeinatised. Mr. Corcoran not long ago came into his office hero anil said: "I want very much'to know whom ordered some trine of in France about five years ago.* His prir to secretary, with this indoliuito request, at uoe turned to his book labeled "Wine," ran down a few pa-.-ja* and ennte to the data and found the pur h.n It was the same with other matters, Mr. Corcoran had in this way a perfect Imsinsss diary kopt for him,—Frank Q.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.

Tbe Carrier Pigeon Service—Long Flights aa«l Qaiefc Time of Carrier Birds.

The pigeon known as Servia was started in a race from Washington to Brooklyn, N. about three years ago, and, instead of coming home, be flew on boirnl the Cnnard steamer Servia. Max Elder, the chief engineer of the steamer, caught him and carried the bird to Liverpool, where, upon arrival, he%as taken to the home of Mr. Elder, in that city. By the merest accident some member of the family discovered the name of "Mr. Reade, Brooklyn," on a light tag fastened to the pigeon. On the

ward trip of the Servia Max Elder brought the bird with him, and handed it over to M. B. Maguire, who restored the lost pet to its owner, Mr. Reade, who flew him the following year in all races up to 500 miles. Then Mr. Reade and Mr. Maguire made a match to fly two birds each from Montgomery, Ala., home, an air line distance of 900 miles. Mr. Reade named as his representatives the pigeon Servia,' named after the big ship, and Max Elder, named in honor of the engineer. Mr. Maguire entered the birds Governor Hill And Mayor Whitney. The result of the race was that Governor Hill made the trip in ten and a half days. Mayor Whitney was thirteen days coming Max Elder sixteen and a half days. After being liberated the Servia flew about Montgomery for some days and finally disappeared. He was shot the following spring in South Carolina, and the tag was again useful, for the man who slaughtered him was conscience stricken and sent word of Servia's death to his owner.

Sex and Race.

A constant reader has put tbe following: "The Fourteenth amendment to tbe Federal constitution, section 1, says: 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to tbe jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States, and of the state wherein they reside.' Section 1 of the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution provides that: 'The right of the citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state, on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude.'" Is not "race" synonymous with "sex," when referring to mankind) Webster defines "citizen" as "a person, native or naturalized, of either sex, who is entitled to full protection, in the exercise and enjoyment of the socalled private rights." Now tell me, if you please, why suffrage is denied to any female citizen of the United States, in contradiction of the foregoing constitutional provisions, and oblige." "Race" is not "sex." Tho constitution is not, interpreted-'vvith that understanding

Mean Sea and Land Level.

The mean height of the land above Sea level, according to Mr. John Murray, is 2,250 feet, and the mean depth of the ocean is 12,480 feet. Only 2 per cent, of the sea is included inside a depth of 500 fathoms, while 77 per cent, lira between 500 and 8,000 fathoms. If the land were filled into the hollows, the sea would roll over the earth's crust to a uniform depth of two miles.

It would take, according to calculations, 0.840.000 years to transport the whole of the solid land down to the sea. Should the whole of the solid land be reduced to one level under the ocean, then the surface of the earth would be covered by an ocean with a uniform a

Gettysburg.

The battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1, 2 and 8,1803, between the Union Army of the ,Pot»mac, under Meade,, .and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, under Gen. Lee. The forces present or close at hand were about equal, each numbering from 70,000 to 80,000 infantry. The battle was won by the Union troops. The Union loss was 28,190, of whom 2,894 were killed, 13,713 wounded and 6,843 missing. The Confederate loss has never been officially stated but by tho best estimate it was about 86,000, of whom 5,900 were killed, 28,000 wounded and 8,000 umvounded prisoners. The entire number of prisoners, wounded and unwouuded was 44,000. '-t. I Government of the District of Columbia*

It has been asked if the people of the District of Columbia elect officers to conduct their municipal affairs, or are these powers vested entirely with congress and the president! Who is at the head of the internal government of Washington, D. C.l

The affairs of the district, including those of Washington, are managed by three commissioners under the direct legislation of congress for the levying and disbursement «f taxes and for all public improvements. The citizens have no voto either in district or national affairs.(

A French physiciarlf Dr. Feltz, mentions a curious apparent cause of lefthandedness. One child in a certain family was left handed, and a second appeared to be so at the age of one year. It was then learned that the mother always carried her children on her left arm. She was advised to change, and, held on the other arm, the infant, having its right hand free to grasp objects, soon became right handed.
