Wlitle tha lack of poliloues* dis-
played by boya of the present day forma
a theme of general comment, no public
action acoma to bo taken toward iio
[irovemont.
Uourtoar, politeness and graceful
leportraent arc attributes wbieh must
tie atudiod and practised in order to be-
'ouio a part of the every-day social
garment of mnnkind.
Courtesy cannot tic put on and taken
all like a Sunday coat, but must be
worn continuously, in order to tit the
wearer.
Instruction, practice and drill are
just as necessary to perfect the youth
u the social graces as the study of
trithmetbic, grammar, music or geo-
graphy is to perfect them in figures,
ipoeoh, voice or a knowledge of local-
ties.
There is much interest takon in the
mlijcct of music in the public schools;
ven tlio methods of instruction nm-
nltsyed continually coming in for a
.bare of comment, while dancing, with
the auxiliary of politeness und graceful
tuportmont (not to mention physical
nil lire or its beneliciul exorcise), does
not receive even a passing notice.
l.ul it lie conceded that instruction
in music is dosirublo. The cultivation
of the voice is doubtless beneticial to
those who Imvo suitable voices for
raining or cultivation. Nevertheless,
hundreds of pupils who may thus re-
■civo public vocal Instruction will nev-
9r.bo able to sing acceptably, either in
nubile or private gatherings, whilu
those who may succeed in their vocal
sxoellencos.
The neods of the social circle con-
stantly demand the exhibition of good
manners nud a courteous demeanor, ns
% mark of true education in politeness.
How much more desirble then must
t be for the average pupil to acqulro
Ihc accomplishment of that easy and
graceful demeanor which cuubles one >
to deport one’s self with the true <
courtesy and dignity which always j
characterises good breeding.
Our aim Is to inspire a just idea of {
the importance of a distinguished air
and deportment, and the necessity of
aci|uiriug it in earliest youth.
At that season of life when every
lesson is seized with avidity nud makes
lie strongest and most durable im-
pression on the tender mind, then it is
u the very dawn of reason that it bo-
I'omos the indispensable duty of those 1
who have charge of the education of
youth to watch and iiuprovu every
ipportunity of giving it proper direc-
tion. By fixing the mind in a suitable [
channel, and the body in a proper !
form, the bust results will certainly be
attained.
It cannot bo called an exaggeration
‘>r n partiality to my profession to j
reckon among the noble objects of
ducation, that not only putting a'
couth into tlio way of giving the utmost
value to bis personal lignre. by the jin- !
movement of Ids air and deportment, I
hut by inculcating iu him so useful a
truth as that oven an opinion of the !
mental acquire meats is, in a great
measure, regulated by tlio appearance
or exterior air and carriage of the j
person.
To whom can it bo unknown that all I
hat power of gesture which Demos- \
hones considered as the principal point !
n oratory principally depends on the
acquisition of a proper air and coiu-
nmudingnoss of aspect, combined with
a propriety of gesture and aetiou.
This air, always so valuable, and on
many occasions life of such infinite
service to the possessor, can never he
the product of a moment, but to bo ef-
fectual must be habitual.
Thograco of ease can never be acted;
it must bo gradually instilled into sec-
ond and bettor nature, in virtuo of a
tiabit contracted not to destroy the first
nature, but ouly to improve and embel-
lish it.
Practical, porsonal observation, and
the lessons of qualified teachers of this
art must be the best of tuition to secure
that desirable point of perfection in
what relates to a proper nir or tinrt of
tlio person, of which a celebrated poet
had so high a conception that lie said —
uIt might stand for a patrimony,"
Dancing should ho introduced into
otir public schools.—/?. Woodworth
Matters.
The .Speculator and the Hustler.
The real estate agent met the man
at the depot who had invested in the
new Dakota town by mall, and, after
a twenty-mile rido across tho prairio,
ho said to him:
••Wo are now exactly in tho center
of Metropolis City.”
“What?” yolled the speculator, "I
don’t see but three houses!”
"Of courso—I live In one, the news-
paper is printed in another, and tho
postotflee is in tho other."
'•But whoro nro nil the railroads I
law on tlio map?”
‘•Coming, sir, nil of them coming.
No mistake nbout it because I am
president of each company.”
••But are those lots I bought right
here by tho postoflice?”
“Such questions make me tired. No.
sir, those lots by the postolllco are for
tho chamber of coramorco, and nil tho
others around hero are business lots.
You bought residence lots—they nro
beyond the slough nnd over the bill,
nbout a mile from here. You don’t
want to live right in tho hoart of n
city, do von? By tho way, 1 keep a
hotel as well ng a real-estate office—do
you want to stay with me to-night, nr
will you lay out? If you want to stop

THE LONE HORSEMAN.
Thursday Night's Performsnc# Repeated
—The Receipts Diminished, and He
Contents himself With One Stage.
Tkmi'I.k, Tex., Oct, 0.—Again tin
news comes here that the Ballinger nnd
Han Angelo stage had beon robbed.
This second robbing occurred Monday
night near midnight at the same point
on the road, and was in all respects a
repetition of the lone highwayman’s
performance last Thursday night. From
Mrs. M E. Collard, of San Angelo, who
was a passenger on the stage, and ar-
rived hero Thursday evening on a visit
to her parents, the following acount of
the robbury Is guined: It was about
midnight and the stago had reached a
poiut in Nicholas' pasture, close to the
Willow water hole, when from the side
of the road appeared a lono bandit, who
hnlted the driver with tho remark:
“Well, boys, I am here,” and presented
two revolvers in his face. When tho
stngc)stopped thejpussongers wore ordered
jut,and as each appeared ho was handed
a cap Identical with those used Thursday
night, and ordered to draw It down
over his head. This done, the
passengers were ordered to stand
up in a row and hold up
their bauds while the robber proceeded
to relievo them of their cash nnd valua-
bles. There were five passengers—two
men and two women and a little child.
As on Thursday night the women were
not robbed, and the haul made from the
two men was but a light one. The mail
•mcks were rilled, nnd the registered
packages and a number of other letters
torn open, but the umount thus obtained
is not given. There is no doubt that the
tobber is tho same lone highwayman
wlio held up tho stages Thursday, and
Mrs. Collard says that she is confident
she recognised him as a man who lives
in San Angelo, and declares she will
ilcnounco him when sho returnB to her
home. The caps used were, left with
the passengers as mementoes of tho
robbery, and the victims were forced to
stand in waiting in the road until time
for the Btage going in the opposite
direction from them, when the order
was given to mount and drive on. The
The second stage was not molested. J.
ltaus, who was one of the victims of
lust Thursday nigbt’s robbery, passed
through here Tuesday evening going to
San Angelo. He says he will take a
shotgun out with him from Ballinger,
and if he is again held up will dispute
the matter with the road agent.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Waco, Tex., Oct. fi.—A serious acci-
dent occurred Tuesday at the Brazos
Compress, on South Eighth street, bo-
tween the Missouri Pacific and Cotton
Belt depots. The work of the press will
probably be suspended for the balance of
the season and many hands thrown out
of employment, besides many thousand
dollars of loss to the stockholders, and
possibly force cotton to other points for
compressing. The press was at work at
a pressure of 750 pounds, one-half its
capacity. Every part of the machinery
was in perfect order, when suddenly tho
platton broko with a terrible crash. Bob
Johnson, colored, one of the tie men, had
his arms caught between broken portions
of tho follow block and is very seriously
injured. Another colored employe was
slightly hurt. The platton, weighing
70,000 pounds, is made at but two places
in the United States. Mr. W. D. Lacy,
superintendent, says it will be almost im-
possible to repair the machinery for
further work this season. The loss to
stockholders in damage to the press is
$70,000. A meeting of the directors will
be called at an early date, when steps
will be taken in regard to repairs. The
business community throughout regret
this serious disaster. Mr. Herbert, super-
intendent of the East Waco Press, says
they will try and take care of all cotton
that is received._

CRAZED BY DRINK.
El Paso, Tex., Oct, 0.—News has
been received here of a unique affray
ten days ago at the Plauchaa de Plata
mine, near Halimal, State of Chihuahua,
Mexico. An Irish minor named John
Lloyd became crazed from a long spree,
and conceived tho notion that the Mexi-
cans wanted to kill him. He procured a
Wlucbister rlfie and told a Dorman team
ster named Warner that bo was going to
guard against his expected assailants.
Warner told a Mexican foreman named
Hodriquez what Lloyd had said. Rodri-
quez went to pacify Lloyd, whereupon
the latter threw up his rifle and shot
Hodriquez dead. Warner got a rifle and
tried to shoot the infuriated man, but be
was maneuvering for a sure uiia. Lloyd
got a chance and shot him through the
thigh. Lloyd then took refuge in the
office of tho superintendent, who was
away and hade defiance to the camp. A
courier was dispatched to a Mexican
military post a few miles away for a de-
tachment of soldiers. When they ar-
rived they dispersed themselves and
opened fire on Lloyd’s fortress. Lloyd
replied fora time and then became silent.
After firing a thousand shots the soldiers
charged upon the building und found
Lloyd hidden among a lot of boxes un-
harmed. He was takou to Casas Grandes
where be will be tried and doubtless con-
demned und shot
