THE DAILYr EVElINGf TELE GR APtltHILlDELPlli Aj1 WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 18G9:
JlANJiL'ttS IN AMERICA ANDJEX0L1ND.
From the Vail Hall Gazette.
The Daily Xemn lately published a thoughtful
mid somewhat elaborate t'ommualcaUuu from
its Bj)C( ial correspondent at New York under
this title. There Is much In It valuable as well
H8 true; but we cannot help thinking that tho
writer lays more stress than Is at all necessary
on the Importance of toning down all our ob
servations, so as to avoid exciting any asperity
of feeling on cither side. Great nations, after
all, are not to be regarded In the light of punc
tilious, irritable members of society. If a good
many EngHhnien sin in tho way of stupid na
tionalism or less excusable insolence If a good
mauy Americans, on the other side, exhibit
a touchiness which makes them Intole
rant, .not only of tho slightest sar
casm', but of manly criticism the wisest course
for Impartial critics, on both sides of the water,
Is, in our view, to disregard these unpleasant
peculiarities altogether. If we have occasion to
pass judgment on each other nt all, we had
better do so with a single eye to truth, and with
out timorous attention to every possibility of
touching a sore place.
"Manner" may "make the man." but most
assuredly they do not make the nation. It may
be grievously doubted whether either Lessor
England or Greater England would occupy the
position which Is at present conceded to them in
the world if States were to rank, not according
to "area, population, and revenue." but accord
ing to social qualities. But however this may
be, one thing is certain, and too commonly tor
noltcn in controversies of this kind, which is
that the manners of a people or, to speak more
Intelligibly, the manners of a class of a people;
say the upper class, of which we are most com
monly thinking In these discussions are not
lightly formed nor soon thrown aside. They
constitute an edifice which may seem slight and
easily sbakcu, but which Is in truth the product
of many generations of men of similar minds
and similar social circumstances. Tho polished
society of England and of France have been for
centuries nearly allied: to mere superficial ob
servers tho variances between them may appear
slight enough; but any one who has lived in
both knows how deep is. in truth, the difference
In habitual line of thought and demeanor and
mode of expression, between a cultivated
-Frenchman and Englishman, and still more be
tween the Indies of tho respective countries.
Their social codes are as different as their politi
cal institutions or their jurisprudence.
Now, cultivated America has not yet had time
to frame a complete social code; but It Is In pro
cess T)f doing so, and. when complete, the result
will wear a somewhat different shape from that
which prevails in cither of the older countries.
Whether better or worse is really a question for
children to wrangle about, not for men to can
vass. Iu mere "minor morals" there is no right
or wrong. We have seen an unconscious Eng
lishman frowned at, in a refined American circle,
because ho had used, in the innocence of his
heart, some phrase to which American prudery
attached a disatfrceable meaning. And we have
seen another English visitor to the states dis
concerted, for his part, at some harmless saying
of his host or hostess, which, lor some inexpli
cable reason, could not have been used In simi
lar society in England. And In each case the
feeling of repugnance aroused was probably
livelier than that which a really seitisnoraiscour
teous expression might have elicited. Somo of
our readers may remember how, at King John's
least in "Ivauhoe." when the Mormaus were
passing their comments on Saxon behavioir,
Ceuric, who dried nis Hands witn a towel, n-
vteud of suffering the moisture to exhale by
waving them gracefully in the air, incurred
more ridicule than his companion Athclstan
when he swallowed to his own single share the
whole of a large pastry composed of the most
exquisite foreign delicacies.
Nevertheless, there is a lesson to be fonnd,
even in these small matters, if we have the pa
tience to search for it. Some marked differences
between good English and good American de
meanor may be accounted for, so to speak, his
torically. Among the most observable peculiarities in
the conversation of highly educated society in
this country is the tendency which eyerywhere
prevails towards concise and compendious
modes of expression. We do not merely speak
of circles in which "smartness" is at a premium.
There are plenty of these: circles In which talk
habitually slides off into what is politely ealled
the epigrammatic, and vulgarly tho snip-snap
style circles in which chatter resembling that
of" Swift's polite conversation (barring the gross
ness) or the banter of some of our old comedies
bears tiresome sway. If any one is disposed to
criticize closely the best conversation which
falls under his notice, lie will detect In it a
strong tendency to conciseness, though not to
smartness. Those who take part in it seldom
express their whole meaning. They use con
ventional abbreviation. They shorten a story
by cutting off tho head or the tail, or both.
They rarely indulge in preface or epilogue.
They seem constantly under the fear of giving
themselves too much trouble, or that of boring
their hearers.
Tills t ccullar curtness of dialogue wo believe
to be produced by the social friction of many
refined generations. Nevertheless, some think
it increasingly characteristic of our own day.
We have heard good judges of manners and cus
toms sav that the table-talkers of London fortv
years ago, Rogers, Luttrell, "Conversation"1'
Sharpc, would be condemned now as prosers,
and that for this reason they have no successors.
And we believe this last phase of over-reilncment
to prevail in France quite as much as among
ourselves. Frenchmen (we speak of course of
the polished class") are the best talkers in the
" world. Thcvare also the most epigrammatic, and
(we suspsct) the least Inclined of all people to
tolerate lengthiness in others.
Now, if the reader of theso remarks is in the
habit of conversing with well-educated persons
of less advanced classes In England, to a certain
extent with provincials generally, but most
especially with thoughtful and instructed men
of the workiug order, he will infallibly have ob
served the great difference of stylo between
them nnd their so-called betters in this particu
lar. Thev never seem anxious to cut short what
thev have to suv. When they reason they give
you premises "and conclusions at full length;
thev never reduce a syllogism to an enthymom
(if we mav bo pardoned a piece of Oxford pe
dantry). 'If thev tell a story they complete it,
with all its circumstances, and cannot understand
the impatience of a hearer who tries to inti
mate that he anticipates tho point of it. If
thev joke thev do it deliberately. If joked with,
thev uualv.e the jct to show that they appreci
ate "it. Their slowness Is apt to irritate persons
really not acuter than themselves, but used to
rapid shorthand modes of expression. But they
are apt to make themselves all the better under
stood for it. The clever person who gues-os at
a meaning from half a sentence runs the risk of
misapprehending it altogether.
We believe that every ono familiar with higher
American life will agree in this that in tho par
ticular on which we have dwelt, that f a less
incisive and more deliberate mode of expres
moii. it resembles more nearly the. second than
the first rank of society in England. 1 he Ame
rican gentleman is habitually somewhat more
Lntcntious than the
adroit in the use of that kind of J
hand interchange of , ideas of v,biui
we have spoken; more addicted to speaking his
mind at length, instead of hinting.it: louder ot

From whence docs this diversity arise? Hero
we must run the risk of wound'nur Amerb an
susceptibilities, if Americans arc absurd enough
to entertain them; but the chief cause scorns to
us nn obvious one. American society Is an off
shoot of British society, but an offshoot of that
socU ty, not in its highest but its middle grade.
ihc imrraiiuie or working classes among our
selves have not acquired, nor in truth do they
value, that freemasonry of style which dlstin
'.uishi s the highly polished. But tho father or
grand father of the first-class American occupied in
the mother country the position of the second
or third-class Englishman. It is unpleaslng to
use denominations which seem to iinplyso much
ol "snobbishness" in him who uses them. .Hut
no others would express our meaning. America
has risen at once, by the force both of favorable
circumstances and" of native energy, into that
state of civilization which gives room for the
development of luxury mid real refinement nnd
mental adornment to'm high a pitch a the Old
World can display, but not into that aristocracy
of manner which can only be acquired through
a much longer period of development than hers
lias been,-
The traces of tills recent connection, as it
were, with tho less advanced ranks of society
come out not ungracefully in many of tlia
habits of earlier days which" cling to 'the best
transatlantic circles. American hospitality is
proverbial: but ono phase in which it exhibits
itself is a little embarrassing to tho stranger.
This is the custom of "treating;" with us a relic
only of the heartier life which still subsists In
less refined classes iu America, not obsolete in
the highest. An American, with a foreigner in
tow. is not content with opening his house to
him and grudging no labor or loss of time iu
acting as his guide and companion. The desire
of his soul, with difficulty kept In check, is to
pay the stranger's expenses. Ife is anxious to
take upon himself all cost of conveyance and
casual refreshment. An American gentleman
wi-liiug to give you a dinner, but unablo from
sonic accident to receive you at bis own house,
rather than fail in his supposed duty will invite
himself to dine with you iu the coifee-room of
your hotel, order and pay for the meal. The
stranger himself is in some perplexity between
his anxiety not to hurt the feelings of his gene
rous friend and the sort of pride engendered by
the different habits of his own couutry, where
the kindest entertainer of a guest would shrink
from any step which had the air of putting the
latter under pecuniary obligation.
We should err, how'evcr. in ascribing the great
American virtue of hospitality, or this peculiar
manner of displaying it. altogether to tho cir
cumstance that American manners are those of
a people which lias not yet attained the cold
level of polished indifference. They are far more
hereditary traditions derived from the times of
curly settlement in the wilderness. Every young
community engaged iu. the task of subduing
nature to the first requirements of man is tacitly
organized on a principle of mutual assiranee.
Every man owes his neighbor aid and comfort,
the support of the strong arm jnd supply from
the full purse, because he, lnay have to "call on
his neighbor at any moment 'for requital. And
the habits thus engendered descend from father
to son, long after the circumstances which pro
duced them have passed away. The city Ameri
can will leave his occupation to accompany you
as a guide for some- distance through "the
labyrinths of a great town, because his near
ancestor had to render and receive such services
in the impervious forest. The casual American
traveller will urge you to "liquor"' with him at
the refreshment bar, from the motive, now be
come an instinct, which made his father divide
his ration with his mate iu the desert. Nay,
more than this, we suspect that some of those
features which lend to American life its most
touching and attractive characteristics self
denial in tritlcs. mutual consideration instead of
the "devil take the hindmost" principle, tender
ness for tho wenk, and, above all. chivalry to
wards woman merely as woman owe their de
velopment, partly, at least, to the lessons of
those early days of struggle against nature. If
so, long may "thev survive their origin; and,
wliile they do 60, Americans have little to suffer
from the gibes of foreigners underbred for
eigners, for the moet part about their manners;
gibes whk'h derive all their little sting from the
over-sensitiveness of those against whom they
nro directed.
THE AIMS IX ITALY.
.Moeitie Art Work lor Women.
Venice, April 10. Summoned to Venice on
business at the commencement of the month. I
paid a isit, as usual, to the Anglo-Italian Glass
and Mosaic Company, in Campo S. Vio, on the
Grand Canal, and this time came away with the
conviction that a similar establishment in Ame
rica might furnish easy, pleasant, and lucrative
work for hundreds of women who have neither
a turn for teaching nor taste for doctoring, and
who have not vet found the other "half." who
would take and be tnken for better, for worse
with whom to cast in their lot.
On the books of the establishment I saw or
ders for cnnmel mosiae from California and New
York, and demands for prlcc'list from Washing
ton. proving that not only in the Old World, but in
the New, Ghirlndanjo't saying that ''Mosaic is the
only painting for eternity." is being at length
practically appreciated. On benches and on the
tloors ot tlie various studios ot tne establishment
40 or 50 men anil lads were at work; some copy
ing iu enamel Era Beato's unguis for English
churches, others working from an original aud
very beautiful design of the Last Supper for an
altar piece, some piecing tombstones, others
moocties ana bracelets, wiitie numbers were oc
cupied in elaborating facades for churches,
houses, and shops. Iu the studio the two chief
artists were completing, one the drapery.
the other the face of a hle-size portrait
tor the Kensington sliiseum, white on
tho ground floor the greater number
were picking to pieces, repairing, or
rcinauulaeturing entirely the old mosaics from
the Cathedral ot St. Mark's. With the adminis
tration of this cathedral the company has entered
into a contract for the entire repairs of tho mo
saic pavements and the colossal subjects on thu
domes and ceilings, to bo completed in lourteeu
veins, 20,000 francs to be paid annually for the
labor only. Twelve figures are already eom-

king upward troin tne pavement. It Is impos
sible to distinguish the new from tho old. Tho
originals were the work of thu thirteenth ecu
tury artists, and their decav is owing to the
subsidence in the walls, not to any defect either
in the enamels, the cement, or tho labor, since
the ttsstriK still adhere to the cement, and,
with the exception ot the llesb tints, retain
their pristine colors. All these repairs, and
also the new works, arc. as we have said, exe
cuted in tho establishment in Campo S. Vio, for
whereas tho old m.osaicists work toiltullv and
painfully, standing on scaffolding with uplifted
alius to fix the ti wra: on tho actual walls or
roots, tho modern patron of this exquisite art
Slgnor Salvlati has, by tlio simplest process,
enabled his pupils to work with as much case as
miniature painters at their easel. A copy of tho
subject is traced on a rough paper covered with
common paste, and on this the enamels are
fixed with their surface dow nwards. When com
pleted the subject Is carefully packed and con-
veycil to lis uesuuaiion, mu iiici, lougu sur
face fixed on cement already laid on the wall or
ceiling, then the paper and paste are washed off
the lacing, and the subject remains complete.
In this manner ItiO square metres of mosaic
work hare been executed In this establishment,
home of them exquisite miniatures, such as the
portraits of Columbus and Marco Polo, for
which tho municipality of Vonico paid 1:1,001)
francs; others for tho Kensington Museum, for
which UoOU each was paid; the remainder monu
mental mosaic, which costs about 80 francs per
square toot. The sum realized for tho 100 lue
tics is oO.'JSO francs. Fifty workmen are ein
i.i.ive.l In this department. I usked the director
if lie took apprentices. Ho said: "No, they J
would waste our time, which Is tlio article ot
which wo havoHeast, to spare, but our pupils
come to us chletlv from the Venetian Academy.
At lirst I had great hopes of employing women,
1ml 1 have now (ilvcn up tho idea, owing to the
Impossibility of finding any girls - in emce with
"dV- cul know ledge ol drawing." 'Ihis a-mark
set tne thinking how easy it would bo for a few
enterprising American women, who possess a
fair knowledge of drawing, to come over and
learn the mosaic art thoroughly, and return to
their own country to furnish ornamental, picto
rial, and monumental mosaic to all who require
a decoration which alone defies wind, smoke,
and water.
Should this mosaic nrt ever become fashion
able in America, it will bo a question whether
the enamels should be Imported or in inufactured.
Tho art of making enamels is certainly more
difficult than that of putting them together, and
it is the general opinion that tli'xe manufac
tured in England are not equal to those produced
at Murano, first by Lorenzo l'radl, in this
century, and now by "the Anglo-Italian Company.
The colored enamels, which arc formed of the
same materials of which common glnss is made,
with the addition of certain mineral sub
stances, depend for opaqueness, solidity, and
softness of hue and color, chiefly on the
degree nnd continuance of beat to which they
are subjected in the process of fusion, and aNo
on the careful elaboration of thu different ele
ments. I have seen blocks come out of the fur
nace as dull as brick, or transparent as window
glass; In cither case unfit to render the effect of
painting. The gold and silver enamels In which
a gold or silver leaf Is imprisoned by the action
of lire between a ground of thick glass below
and a film of the purest glass above, are still
more difficult to bring to perfection; but in this,
as in all cases, "practice makes perfect."
Before, leaving my favorite haunt on the
Campo Vio. let me say a word about the glass
blowing department, which has progressed in
liko proportion to tho mosaic. Not only have
all the lost secrets of tho past been recovered
secrets of color, form, nnd manipulation but
new combinations of patttc and new methods of
assimilation arc daily being evolved from the
fairy fingers of the glass-blowers of Murano.
The largest and most elaborate glass chandelier
ever manufactured has just been sent homo to
Prince (iiovanelli, who has ordered llvo others
for his ball-room overlooking the Grand Canal.
It has thirty-six candlesticks In the lower, and
eighteen on the upper tier, and between the two
flowers nnd leaves that seem plucked from tho
the spring-smiling fields. The vases, usually so
heavy and vacant, arc garlanded with flowers,
nnd "the effect of the whole, when lighted, is
