Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, Is in
trouble,. Six mouths have scarcely elapsed
since be assumed his throne, but those six
months have proved to His Most Royal High
ness that royalty, like poverty, can suffer for
the want of the wherewithal to buy a roll or
a pork chop. To tell the truth "right out In
school," Maximilian Is "short in pocket"
before a half year has pasncd by. lie does
not know what to do. His credit is not of the
very beat. His notes are not of the gilt-eded
character known on Tb'rtl street, and his
"promise to pay" are cousidured rather
doubtful even among the distinguished gon
tlemeh who occupy " first places" at the heads
of nations in Europe. Napoi.kost has no
francs to tlurow away. Franco once made a
bad investment in Mexico. Fu.vsz Joseph,
Imperial Master of Austria, cannot atford to
bik'im anything mre on bis august brother;
and tho Uornsciin.i have no idea of going
extensively Into Mexican bouds. Maxi
milian Is in a sorry plight, and doubtless
realizes tho maxim,
"Uneasy lies tho lioad that weat a crown,"
I'tipccially li money Is wanting to lualce it sit
well on tho brow, and 1111 tho imperial cellars
and larders with life's good things.
But wo have the Idea exactly for Maxi
milian, In bis dilemma. Let him at oucb
apply to his brother autocrat, Ilis Excellency
Jkkfkuhon Davis, of Lord Russell's "so
called Coufederato States." Let him as
Davih in a clever, clap-him-on-the-shoulder
style, for tho loan of a few millions Confede
rate money. Davis has an abundauc on
bund; and now that the Rebel Congress in
tends "ra sing his wages," be will bo better
able to lend a fcllow-i itT.Ter the needed cur
rency. Richmond can appreciate the incon
venience which besets Mexico, aud a gearf
rous and chivalric ruler like Davis could
not refuso prompt and timely assistance. Bo
lides, he may need Maximilian's aid him
self one of these days, and it would be a nice
arrangement to Invest a cartload or two of
Tbkn holm's Confederate "pictures" in the
new Emperor' Mexican enterprise. As
Davis U cut off from speculating In petro
leum, this la about liia only chance for going
into "a market" with his money.
We throw tho bint out to both the "seedy"
Maximilian and the neuralgic Davis, and
givo them the bcueUt of the suggestion "free
of charge.' '
"N'-rAl.l.t.l llHSUiS."
It is amusing lo look back and observe the
expedients to vt bleb at one time we had
course In order to avoid gisutiug to
re-
the
Rebel the titles which they arrogated to
Uiomaelves and to the government which they
wore attouipting to establUb.
The greatest dilllculty aroie in reference to
the use of the words Confederate and Con
federacy. The rebellious were certainly
rcbcbi, and they were spoken of by that
designation. Men baudud together aro also
confederates but ah! there was the rub,
Would it do to ealltln mso? Cer alnly not.
Above all, could confederates form a confed
eracy? Impossible! So Confederates aud
Confederacy were prefixed with "so-called,"
and we wrote F'b'h "rebels," wltb a very
small 1L
Zt we bad followed tin this HVsteiuialts
logical conclusion, we woul l bavo encounter '!
a prodigious dilllculty. As the KVhcl rule wx '
Only 'V. -called," every act ami title em m itin
lro.il ii Khould kwo b ten "so-called," and we
ou..;ht to have baen obliged to speak in the
firXowlrg manner, for Instance: " The K.

Hut people never do rarry out Inconvenient
.. i i i
things to ineir. eK'' i-oneiusions, so w
topped t so-called Confederates nm ao-oull,.,!
I Confederacy.
In process of time, It began to occur to peo
ple that If these things were "so-rallcd," they
niilit as well call them so. It was Inconve
nient to keep up their pcrtlnacl'v In favor of
certain expressions; and conscious that by
the use. of convenient words they diminished
nothing of their zeal iu quelling the Rebellion,
theymude up their minds lo stick to hard
knocks, and not quarrel about names. For
ourselves, we advocate calling tilings by ai
convenient names as possible. If wo are to
write "so-called," we would like to be con
sistent, and prefix it to everything to which It
might be applied. Hut If possible, we don't
liitvud to bIIow the Confederacy to Incon
venience us to the extent of obliging us to
put an everlasting, jingling handle to its
nam-. Of course, If were in the diplo
matic line, wo would have to be care
ful of our quasi; but we are iu the newspaper
business, and we have no space to waste In
spreading out the assurances of our distin
guished consideration In behalf of the Rebels,
so wo will cut them oil at least In their former
typographical allowance. We aro In favor of
crushing the Rebellion itself so completely out
of existence, that it w ill be of no cons 'nu.'neo
by what name the thing nourished for a while.
Everywhere, there is much less stress now
laid upon these trifles. Many of the most
' disloyal were cureful to uso the terms which
at first we.ro considered of unexceptionable
loyalt y. They did it as the possessor of a pru
rient imagination indulges only in expres
sions of the most indelicate decency. We
are borne out In our views ol this matter
by the practice of tho public, which now
recognizes mere couvenieneo in words for
merly tabooed. They also consider our
Rebels entitled to a big R, but tho use of that
ceaeed almost from the beginning to be a
capital offense.

Skimming over the glassy surface, circling
and winding in graceful curves, wheeling and
dodging in tho exciting race, ruddy of cheek
and bright of eye. bow tho throng of skaters
thrill with life, even on the bleakest day of
winter! Most beautiful of sports, so gloriously
fitted to redeem the dreariest of seasons!
Scarcely are the strea.ns and the parks
touched wHh a band of lee, ere thousands of
hearts beat lightly, brimming with lun, aud
thousands of forms are gliding over tho
frozen lake, making the scene as merry as
when the leaves fluttered, tho grass lay
softly tremulous, the birds warbled, and tho
waters trilled the livelong day. The keener the
wind, the swifter the skaters fly; the more
dismal its moan, the louder tho laugh, drown
ing the sound of nature's wailing in tho chorus
of gladness. The slips and stumbles of tho
aw kward squad aro heeded but as fresh occa
sions for mirth. Up and away! Wo all must
learn to conquer mishaps. Skimming, (lilting,
wheeling, sailing In wide sweeping courses, on
they go, the happiest, gracefullest of mortals
careless of cold, aud radiant with tho inspira
tion of exercise. Mark them when tho moon
is. up, and the mirroring ice reflects her beauty
when tho bare-branched trees lie weirdly in
the dreamy light.
No playful elves of olden fancy ever sported
more bcwitchlngly under those mild beams;
and Indeed the wondrous enchantment of tho
hour oil scene the skurrying ring of tho steel
upon the V-e. now sharp and clear, and now
the faintest trlm, mingling its music with tho
flying foims, pnduces the entrancing effect of
a fairy spell.
Our skaters havs already enjoyed some
days and nights of deliEhtful practice, but the
season has not yet l'airly opened. We have
very many more persons or various ages in
this community who enter Into this amuse
ment with eager zest than our tu-door, llre
hugging friends would imagine. When the
ice is Arm and smooth, thousands of people
are found upon their skates, and crowds of
spcclutors enjoy the performances. Amorig
the throng will be found skaters of extraor
dinary skill, as fleet as the wind, as graceful
as a consummate dancer, aud capable of exe
cuting the most intricate movements with
surprising ease.
And now that our ladies parlieipato so
eagerly in tho fascinations of the sport, how
greatly are they enhanced! They find that no
Schottischo or Mazourka In the glare ol a ball
room, however gracefully performed, can be
so winsome as those circling, floating move-
ments they mav execute when thev bccoiuo
experts upon the skates. They feel that tho
change from In-door amusements to this sport
in the bracing air bits the most exhilarating
effect upon their spirits, while the bodiug
paleness of the cheek Is tinted with the rose,
and the languid eye Is lit with livoly flro. In
the warmer seasons there are very many de
lightful out-door recreations in which women
may indulge; but in the icy days the choice is
limited, aud skating Is infinitely preferable to
either walking or riding through the streets of
a great city.
We need not point out what a new charm
has been given to this delightful amusement
since the ladies have become active partici
pants In it. The lnriea.se of brilliancy in tho
scene upon the ice the fresh aud varied
grace In the movement of tho skaters aud
the (softening manners iu tho throng of men
Are the evident consequences of the addition.
jjk iven knows our young men are already
ucfUk "'' kdng too auxious to escape from

The Common School System, which Is now
a recognized institution of our Stjito, Iim
only been in existence a little over a score of
years. At the time of its llrat being proposed,
it met with the most decided opposition, nut
only from the populace without education,
but also from th members of our Legislature,
who defeated the bill when first Introduced.
U wiu only through the stupendous exertions
of Hon. Tiiadiii i h Stkvknk, then a new
memlwr. Unit the final reconsideration secured
the adoption of the act, which has d ino mure
for the Improvement of our State than even
the vast fields of mineral weallh, or her
extended seas of oil. The opposition made to
this most useful law appears to us, as viewed
with the light of to-day, inexplicable. Tin)
law was made tho Issue of an election, ami it
was only by hard political fighting th it the
friends of tho system were aide to conui out
triumphant.
Since then the plan basgDwn an l ben,
perfected, until, to-day, it has attained un
tuiity, and no man can he found to deny its
usefulness. Tho advance of 'mind, tho on
ward march nf civilization, and the Imbibing
ol new ideas, have wrought a revolution in
our popular opinion of education; an 1 the
common Bchool system of to-day is tho boast
of America, admired by Europe, fostere 1
by governmental enactment, and protected by
social laws. The idea that the usefulness of
the working-man is not increased by having a
knowledge of tho fundamental portion of an
bnglisii education lias now died out, ami even
the lowest class of our society, who will not
allow their children to attend, scsk elsewhere
for the cause, and excuso theinselvos on tho
ground of poverty and not of the noii-bcne-tlcial
influences which aro exerted by their
attendance.
The poor man's college, the Central High
School, lias been formed out of tho necessities
of our community, has had its mission and has
fulfilled it. It is the bead of tho system In
our State, and any young man who can credi
tably graduate from it, is titled to fill any of
the positions which a man is ordinarily called
upon to hold. It Is only necessary to glanco
at the number of important olllces which are
held by those who own the Central High
School as their Alma Mater. The doctor,
editor, lawyer, politician, and diplomatist are
members of the Alumni, and all are proud to
be able to bold ils diploma. Wo therefore con
sider the continuance of this institution as of
great value, not only to our city, but also to
our State, if not to the whole country.
It is at present ably managed, and 1 success
fully advancing towards the completion of its
high destiny, that of qualifying tho youth of
our land to bo able to understanding fulfil
the duties which their country may dcinaud
of her sons.
If every town of Importance could boast
such an institution, how many Websters, aud
Clays, aud Mirabeaus, and Chathams would
be created by the education it would give to
the youth of our land.
I Kt II ItlSitJ C'OSNIKKE AS A FI VE
ART.
Lecturing has often been resorted to by
adventurers with plenty of brains and very
little money. By assiduous pulling aud a
systematic course of Machiavelisin, seedy
foreigners have been kuown to fill a public
ball one-third full, and to realize enough to
half pay the rent. But such lecturers are tho
baud-to-mouth wayfarers in literature. Their
idea is to make enough to secure, decent lodg
ings and comfortable meals. They do not
expect one hundred dollars secured and
traveling expenses paid. They lecture for a
living and only a living.
Of lato the public has been taught what
lecturing is as a fine art. The capabilities of
the rostrum have been fathomed, and the re
strictidus of the forum have been annulled.
I'eople are not brought together to listen to
ttisj sober second-rate thought of au intensely
sober and second-rate man. Tho dignity of
dullness has been discarded, and tho proprio
tius of tlie lyceum stage have been left to take
care of themselves. Juwtastbo mineral und
vegetable world merge imperceptibly Into
each other, so tli traditional requirements of
the old style of lecturing are lost iu the half
theatrical innovations of the present day.
In a word, lecturing has come to be con
sidered as a flue art. The humorous lecture
in particular is illustrated by pictures and
panoramas, aud we may soon expect the
popular lecturer to travel around with his
property-uuin and scene-shifter. Au econo
mical arrangement would be for the orator to
be his own orchestra, and to handle the born
or the violoncello with equal ease. If he eould
dance a jisr, or sing a song merely by way of
illustration so much more would be gained
not only by the audience but by the lecturer,
through bis agent standing at tho door and
keeping one eye upon tho tickets.
There Is no reason why lecturing should not
be made ono of the flue arts. All the other
line arts might be imafe to conduce to and aid
It. The music, tho poetry, the graceful mo
tion, or the statuesque repose of tho orator's
words, might all he Illustrated by those sen
suous objects which themselves describe. For
a man to come from the other end of the
world, und relate the wonder he lias seen
in Timbuctoo, may be very interesting ; but
our impressions would bo doubly vivid if we
had a faithful panorama of Timbuctoo be
fore us.
But even without these accessories It is tho
duty of every" man who comes before tho
public as a lecturer to have souiu'hlng to say
AT TUB
and to know how to say It decently. If ne
cannot lnt profound, let him lm brilliant ; and
If be ennnot pleane himself by uttering stupid
truths, let blm fascinate bis audience and de
ceive no on by smart inventions. If some of
our orators bad more of tho actor's tact and
elf-poise, the deluded public would not be
treated to so many balks In the lecturing w y
lo such a succession of awkward attempts at
amusement and Instruction.
In a lecture we do not need a set of gram
matical phrases, whose tenor is that if wo aro
virtuous we shall be happy. Our copy-books
enunciated that pleasing fact long since.
Neither do we need a series of profound argu
ments, spoken In a tombstone voice, and
accompanied with gestures which bint that
the speaker has been educated in a graveyard,
and accustomed from bis infant years to
shrouds Instead of shirts. Wo are acquiring
the habit of polng to the lecture-hall less for
Instruction than for entertainment, for an enter
tainment altogether of a dillerent nature from
that obtained at the theatre. At a church wo
invigorate tho religious facultlos. Wo want a
style of lecturing which shall suit those who
are tired of the bold bard style, which resem
bles moral essays being read, and who think
they cannot conscientiously visit tho theatre.
And the nation which is ahead of all tho world
in everything, Is developing this class of lec
turers. The coming season will prove to tho
public bow much Innocent enjoyment they
i mi couilense in one short hour, nnd to the
ra-y humorist bow many thousands a week
be can pockt t o full hack upon when lecturing
as a line art shall be exhausted.

George Alfred TowneBil, in Harper's Miiiarine
fur January, gives the following advico to nornsdi
young liilimtnirs: "I.tt no young man be
tempted to put the sea between his home and
himself, bow seductive koovcr bo tho experiences
of book-makers and poetic pedestrians. One
hour's contemplation of poverty in foreign lamls
will line the boy's lac with the wrinkles of years,
and hnrn Into bis soul that withering dependency
which will rankle long after bis privations ie
forxttcn."
He details some curious experiences In tho
attempt tokiiitu.ii liinnell liy ri iug in London :
"Had i neen prudent Willi my means, aim
prompt to advsuiuKC myself of opportunities, 1
ininlit have obtained access to the est literary
society, and sold my compositions for corres
pondingly hik'her prices, nocial standing in

title-page protects the fjol in the Ictter-pri'SS ;
ineverviit republicanism is not yet so great a
r f-pectir ot rsons.
"I was often invited out to dinner, and went to
therxpeiiso of a dress ecu und kids, without
which one pusies tbi! genteel ltriiish portal at Ins
peril ; but found that both the expense and the
auurliness of 'society' wir onerous. Intliisde
partSDent I Lad no perseverance ; but when, ono

took my beer and mutton with ttiose kindly eyes
BieaaurinK m through their apectaclos, I fo!t
that such prand companionship lilted mo from
the errantry of my curler into the dignity of a
renowned art.
"I moved my lodgings after three months to a
pleasant square of the West End, where I bad for
associates, among others, several American
artists, (strange men ware tlicy to lie so far from
borne ; but I bavo slnco found that the poorer ono
is the luribor he travel), and ttie majority of these
were quite destitute. Two of them only had per
manent employment; a few, now and then, sold
a design to a maxu.ine; the mass went out
sketching to kill time, and trusted to Providence
for dinner. But they woro good fellows for tho
most part kindly to one another; and meeting in
their lodgings, w here their tenure was uncertain,
to score Mil His, or praie Hosottl, or overwhelm
I'rith, one forgot their trials in theirentliusiusm."
The Editors of " Lippincott's renouncing
Guictteer" urc busily engaged in revising that
work, preparatory to the issue of a new edition
containing the lust census re' arm, ami such other
changes as may bo neces-ary to bring it " up to
the times." The publishers, Messrs. J. B. Lip

will be glad to receive any items of information
that may be nsoful in effecting a complcto and
thorough revision of the work.
