A DOZEN GOOD RULES.
We were struck, lately, by
the very orderly behavior of a
large family of children, par
ticularly at the table. We
spoke of it to their father;
and he pointed to a. paper
pinned to the wall, on which
was written some excellent
rules, lleieit is:
1. Shut every -door after
you, and without slamming
it. 2. Don't make a praotioHof
sliou ting", ju m pi ng or ru nni ng
in the house.
.1. Never call to persons up
stairs or in the next room;
if you wish to speak to them,
iro quietly where they are.
4. Always speak kindly and
politely to everybody, if you
would have them do the same
to you.
5. When told to do or not
to do a thing by either pa
rent, never ask why you
should or should not do it.
G. Tell of your own faults
and misdoings, not of those
of your brothers and sisters.
7. Carefully clean the mud
or snow oft' your boots before
entering the house.
8. lie prompt at every meal
hour.
9. Never sit down at the
table or in the sitting room
with dirty hands or tumbled
hair.
10. Never interrupt any
conversation, but wait pa
tiently your turn to .speak.
11. Never reserve your good
manners for company, but
be equally polite at home and
abroad.

" PiUMlvniiAM, Feb. 14. The
colored Republicans of Ala
bama are going to have a
share of the Federal offices in
this Stair under Harrison or
know the reason why. They
are thoroughly aroused and
have prepared totakeorgan
ized action. About twenty
five of theleadmgcolored Re
publicans in the State will go
to Washington immediately
after the inauguration of
Harrison, and they say that
if they find it necessary they
will call on the President in a
body and ptesent their case.
Thev sav that certain white
Republicans are arranging a
plan to divide up all the offi
ces ia the State among them
selves and leave the negro out
entirely. R. A. Mosiey, chair
man of the Republican State
Executive Committee, has
been in Washington. for two
weeks, and the colored appli
cants for offices are afraid he
is working against thorn.
A prominent colored poli
tician said to-day that the
negro had to do the voting
of the party ia the State, ami
the time hatl come when they
were going to have a share of
the offices. He says they do
not expect orwant more than
their work has entitled them
to, but that much they are
going to have or leave the
party. He says promises will
not be accepted, this time.

29. The very rosiest dreams
sometimes turn to unsympa
thetic nightmares, justasthe
best-laid plans are likely to
addle. An addling occurred
near Greenville, the other
night, in which a watchful
mamma did much to stir up
things and make a lively, pic
turesque performance while
it lasted.
An eloping pair were "
other actors 1 hey hoarded
the train at Greenville with
the intention of coming to
this city to find an accommo
dating preacher. Together
they would have made a prise
trade-mark for a confection
ery establishment, and they
furnished much entertain
ment for the other passen
gers. A ratherfrowniug, but
substantial, cloud hovered
over their happiness.
The train had slowed upat
a way station and a woman,
without waiting to couutthe
revolutions of the wheels,
- ; took a flying leap ami landed
in the coach containing the
"spoonies." It was the fair
maiden's mother, red in the
face, irate and chock full of
war. It took her just a sec
ond to yank the girl by the
back of the neck and land a
left-hander on the young
man's jaw. Then, with the
girl, she made a leap from
the train. They struck in a
ditch and rolled over two or
three times, but were appa
rently unhurt, for the old la
dy rose to her feet and shook
her fist at the receding train,
w hile the girl buried her head
in the sand and cried like a
baby.
And the train quickly bore
away the shocked and paral
ysed youiiglover. New York

A ROTABLE MAE.
('aj)tain Isaae Ilassett, who
was appointed a page to the
United States Scnatein 18.11,
at the instance of the Hon.
Daniel Webster, and has been
in its servicccontinuously for
more than fifty-seven years,
and is sixty-eight years old,
way asked bv a Washington
were here when you were a
boy?'' answered :
"Weil.it is not right ha-me
t o makecomparisons. I make
it a rule never to say any
thing about senators. Rut I
can say that there has been
a change in the manners of
our public men. They used
to be more dignified and
courtly than they are now.
Perhaps we had greater sen
ators in those days it seems
so to me but we have two
or three now who would com
pare favorably with the best
of them. 1 think Senators
Sherman and Edmunds are
more like the old-time Sena
tors. Mr. Calhoun was like
Webster, in that he was some
times very cross and at other
times very affectionate. An
drew Johnson was one of the
most uniformly kind and con
siderate men we ever had in
t he senat e. So was Mr. Conk
ling, notwithstanding his
general reputation for a uster
ity. I never saw anything
but polite and courteous to
everybody, and he was par
ticularly so in his demeanor
toward the employees of the
senate. In rny book of remi
niscences I mean to do justice
to Mr.Conkling. Mr.Toombs
was another senator 1 used
to be a lit tie afraid of, though,
of course, I wasa man grown
when he came to the senate.
I think the most sensational
incident 1 ever saw in the sen
ate was when, at the out
break of the civil war, Mr. T.
flung his arms wildly about
him, cried out a t the top of his
voice, 'Good-by, senators,
good-by. I go, never to re
turn,' and strode out of the
hall. And he did not come
back, cither, though he could
if he had wanted to. Mr.
Douglas was still another
man who used to be rather
cross. The trouble with Mr.
Webster and Mr. Douglas w as
they visited The Hole in The
Wall too often."
"Tell me about that hole in
the wal1."
"Well, it was one of the far
mous institutions of our ear
ly days. I'll give you a full
history of it somethingtlmt
has never been told in print
It had its origin in ham and
bread. One of the senators
no 33
anggvstHl to John Ileal), who'
was sergeant-at-arms a war
back in the thirties, that it
won l Ik a irood tlnnir to
havpalittlo Iuiichoni4etnoar
by the hall, whom hungry
senators could run out and
et a hite to eat. .So lleall'H
wife hoiled huins and made
bread, and Ileall. brought
th' tn down and set them up in
i little lireuhir room itiKt
north of the rotunda and on
the east side of the -orridor.
.''vii ui timai n -rwv" j ij v"
very popular. Then some
body suggested to Ileall that
there ought to be a bottle of
whisky there, and after the
whisky had been procured
there came a demand for gin,
rum, brandy, wine and oil
sorts of things. In n. little
while the place became a reg
ular saloon. There was no
bar, of course, not even a
sideboard, the bottles and
demijohns being set in rows
on the shelves. For a long
time the senators used to go
in there and help themselves
to w hatever they w anted, and
the expense was run in under
the contingent account as
horse hire or something like
that. After a time the stock
got so large or.d popular that
it was no uncommon thing
to see a dozen senators and
t heir friends in there drinking
and havinggood times. The
'little room, not more than
twelve or fifteen feet in diam
eter, and taking its name
from the fact that it was sim
ply a hole in the wall, lighted
by only one window, was of
ten badly crowded and a
good deal of confusion result
ed in the arrangement of the
stock, so that a senator who
had a favorite brand of li
quor had much trouble in
finding it. Thus it became
necessary to put a man in
charge, and after a time the
expense became so great that
it was not easy to work it off
in the contingent account.
Then the senators wei-e re
quired to pay for what they
got, and after this was done
the popularity of 'The Hole
in The Wall' fell off very rap
idly. Hut it was kept up till
some years after the senate
moved into its present cham
ber in 1859. it is a good
thing, I'm thinking, that the
walls of that dark little room
are dumb."
""They All Drink.
It is a well known fact
that at certain central agen
cies a record is kept of the
name, position and standing
of nearly every business man
in the country. Careful men
are employed to collect this
information: and it not onW
includes the amount of prop
erty which the parties are
worth, but silso tneir stand
ing as regards punctuality,
iromptness, integrity, tem
perance, morals, etc. A num
ber of years ago, it is stated.
a firm of four men in Boston
were rated as "A 1." They
ivere rich, prosperous, young
and prompt. One of them
had the curiosity to see how
they were rated, and found
these facts on the book, and
was satisfied; but at the end
it was written: "But they all
drink." He thought it a
good joke at the time; but
to-day two are dead, anoth
er is a drunkard, and the
fourth is poor and living,
partly on charity. Ex..-
