Five hundred men employed en the West Side street cars are laid otr with the cpideui'o, ami the c impany is badly handicapped for help. The South Side Coin puny has one hundred ami twenty-live men on tlie sick list. Tho North Side Company has about seventy-fiva men out, while many of these nt work are antral ion; t*r??w? ?r?f? in n iniId form. Large down-town stores are having a Lku experience. In one store employing ene hundred and fifty clerks forty are sick. Ten per cent of the police force is laid up and fifty men in the fire department are ofl. Fifty out of one hundred and fifty mail carriers in the post office lira suffering. All of the hospital* nro overcrowded. Then it 1 scarcely a beading house in ihe oily, it i? said, iliat lias no one to five persons hiid up with the grip. It is us had at the hotel* and fully one-third of the guests we ill. To make matters worse for them many of the managers and hotel employees are also sufferers. Such is the dearth of help that acme of the guests l>r their own request have heen sent to hospitals. .# Tit* Lynching Contrast*!* with tiik Actio* of LtrK Savino Crkw.?Louisville, Ky., March 17.?Apropos of tlie continued howling in Rome and throughout the American and Kuropcan Italian settlements over the j reeetii New Orleans lynching*, this morning's Courier Journal publishes the following pertinent editoria's : "At the time the New Orleans regulators were killing the asinsain* who escaped convioiion by biioery and perjury, ihc men of the life saving station a'.

' Tsliimioxc. For the Tinas. Good MannersGo d manners is ths most essential ele mcnt i'i good society, and should be colliva'ed by everybody. Wc arc judged te a grcnt extent by our behavior. Ujcd manners should be practical in every-day life, then when in society ihefKrv. would not be so many wide and shameful mistakes and so much awkwardness. Some people are born with beauty, and in enriy lite possess even gracefulness of movement, while others find it herd work lo htcoiuu accustomed to such requirements. Many think if they are polite to certain persons and in certain places, that is all that ts required, but that is a sad mistake. The law of "Good Manners" requTes us te be courteous to all with whom wo eoino in c<ntnc', oil, young, rich and poor. Who can be railed a gentleman or n lady who does not treat tho poor with respect as well as the rich ? When we have opportunity to lend a helping band, or speak a kind word to en old man or'woman, we should take advantage of it, and we know that they feel very thankfnl for our consideration ; and ooTTtcMenly 1,1 ^ Father has promised a reward for even a cop of cold water bestowed in kindness upon all such. Now a w?rd especially to the boys : T1 ys, if you wieli to be called "g?nte l boys" never, when jassiuga lady, neglect to raise your hat from your head, not simply touch or motion toward it. I was geing along the road not long ago and met a email boy who was very [oorly dressed, and whoso hat was not the s'iffest in the world, but ere ho passed me, h;s hat was lified gracefully from his head, and I have often thought of his g?u<leraanlf manners. When you call npon your friends de not mimja uc meuuiiug Willi the hire things in Die parlor, having the Indies cringing at very move you make, f ?r fear you would break something; and do try to know what to do with your hands and feel. I have stsa people that I didn't believe really knew in what position to sit. They wou'd first cross their legs, (hen uncross them, put their linnds in their pockets and the next minute stretch thorn over the back of the ?ha!r. It lockB much better tc tit erect, wish y..m feet and hands in their proper places. We gir's also have many nnmanner'y habits. Wo sheuld guard ourselves against the habit of loud talking and laughing. Let us think f >r a moment how rude and illbred it rounds in others, and we will decide that it ia one of the strongest marks of vulgarity. Also, when other persons arc talking, to interrupt and speak before thorn, is one ot' 'be est J o.uapeoifiii an i i u te things imaginable.
