c THE DAILY EVEN IN Q TELEGRAPH- PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAT. MAY. 25, 1870. WHIRLING DERVISHES. ta lima frt r.A.riAA ' vaA the dictum of the wisest of those ancients we are taught to belieTe inspired. Bat a constant element in that complex maohine we know as 'Society" makes it a point to reverse the comfortable theory of the Turk, and to be lieve whatever is is wrong. Antocratio reformers these, often denouncing a onstom simply because it is; rarely permitting argu ment upon it. Hence, to-day, Propriety, clothed in immaculate purity as Teter the Hermit was in rags, preaches a new crusade against that most popular of modern manias, the "round-dances." We are begged to be lieve them a sinful waste of time and muscle, an abomination in the sight of common de cency and of common-sense; and that the evil personage, who is the father of lies, is parent of these as well. But doubters will be found for whom it is hard to believe that Solomon was radically wrong in his premise, or that the way of life must be thorny and sprinkled with tears and resonant of groans. Still, it must be admitted that dancing in excess is bad. So is walking; so is eating. And her champions proclaim that she of the twinkling feet does more good than counterbalances her slight improprieties. Further, they do assert that those who most revile her are would-be devotees on whom her grace does not descend. And, as in all mooted points of morals or manners, the war is fierce, grow ing more furious with each generation, and certainly faster with each succeeding season. There are more dancing people than there were; they dance harder, later, faster than they did; they dance at odd times and places, young or old, in or out of season. On the other hand, the non-dancers from at first elevating their eyes, or at most holding up their palms now breathe denunciations loud and deep, and write scathing essays against the abomination. With the moral question involved, this is neither the time nor place to interfere; but the material fact stares ns in the face, that dancing is, at this writing, more popular, all the world over, than ever before. Like sin, and cold in the head, it is not confined by geographical boundaries; like beggary and falling in love, its thriving depends upon no special atmosphere. That unique fanatio of the East, the Whirling Dervish, spins with as great velocity as ever; the red man of our prairies dances his scalp-dance as joyously, his peace-dance as grimly, as of yore. Under whispering olives and overloaded vines, dark eyed villagers assemble at evening, and move through graceful contradama and stately bolero, to the tinkling of the immemorial guitar. Fanned by the spice-laden breezes of the Golden Horn, the dreamy Turk forgets even to puff his beloved nargileh, as he follows, with mo tionless ecstasy, the voluptuous pose of the henna-ed and kohl-ed Almeh. In the dusky shadow of crumbling Thebes beneath the stony frown of the ox-horned Isis herself dwells the burning-eyed Ghawazce, living only to wile the soul of man, and faint herself in the lascivious witchery of her wondrous dance. Cold-blooded England dances labori ously at Melbourne and at John O'Groat's house. Scotch reels are things of- history; and what Irishman but would "cover the buckle" with never a potato in the cabin ? while the fair-haired swells of the Guards hold in quite equal estimation their triumps over the waxed floor and those of the dark days before Inkermann. And as for sunny, laughter-loving France she is nothing if not dancing. Imperial Paris lavishes millions on the gilt and glitter that bedeck the fairy-land ballets with which the second empire soothes its fretful children; imperial Paris sees, pockets her lorgnette and her scruples, re tires to solan of minister to Mabille to where? and dances madly, too. And that the head of the world's fashion smiles upon it, we have only to remember that the mar quis who married La Diva was famous prin cipally for his debts and his dancing ! Per haps she had not paid the former, had not the latter made him enviable pinnacle ! leader of the empress' cotillon. There is no reason that an otherwise clever and cultivated gentleman may not possess, besides, the ease and practice to make mm loremost in mis most gracetm accomplishment; but then society receives and blesses him, not because of his other attributes, but rather, in spite of them. She accepts the gift of his heels, caring little for those of his heart, and with a silent but decided protest against those of his head. The Emperor may be ill, Wall street may be in a spasm, and the next-door neighbor may be inventoried for the red flag. , What cares she? T. Totum, Esq., still spins withincon ' AnivablA mniditv &t Mrs. Anrifar Midas' alnt soiree. , . 1 xne origin 01 dancing is, 01 course, un known. Whose light toe was first fantastio must ever remain a mystery with those of ; EleuBis; for its antiquity is far beyond that . of fmokftn nr ream-dad tradition.' "W era nnlv leu to theorize that dancing was the sponta neous effort of undeveloped man to express, by gesture, joy or sorrow. All early nations were, to a certain extent, hieroglynhio; all strove to express an idea by a visible symbol; . and the lesions of the Pyramids, of Nineveh. and of Azteo Mexico, teach us that drawing was tne parent 01 wmcn writing came, So the impulse that urged the savage to convey his calmer thought by a rude drawing would have taught him to give the more pressing emotion aound or gesture. We still find that the weaker of the modem languages abound in gesture; those - possessing tne poorer vo cabularies demanding that face, shoulders, and arms shall aid the inefficient speech. . The Italian or the Portuguese to-day speaks as much with his hands as he does with his tongue. . We constantly see those pocket editions of tne savage man spoiled ctuldren stamp with rage and caper with delight. Who can tell what antic, far anions the shadows of the ' ' unclothed and uncooked past, was the parent 01 tne dance In many portions of 1 the" Old Testament dancing is mentioned as a simple matter of course. I'naroau s daughter, dancing to the bath, finds the destined liberator among the bulrushes; . the children of Israel celebrate their passage of the lied Sea by a dance upon 1 the hither shore; Aaron sets thorn up a golden - calf, and they dance around it an example faithfully followed since in all climes; David, their warrior, statesman, and king, dances before the ark; ana the elders of bhiloh ooun sel their young men to abduct the maidens of Shiloh, dancing at evening in the fields procedure that might lead the thinker to doubt if the Roman lawgiver had not read iL. 1 .j 1 1 1 p it. . . . r l 1 i 1 t iuo xjiuis ueiore 111 io ui mo oauines, In the rentotefct nooks, whence science hn traced tradition, we find danoiny alroaly a settled institution. The eldest Pharaohs led chains of dancing captives after their cars on many a mural monument. The most ancient manuscripts, preserved by the Chinese from the mustiness of their earliest civilization, show that musio and dancing were important departments of state in the Celestial Empire. Japan dances to-day the self-same measure, to the tiuuimiiiuK oi Lbn ery tum-tum, that the founders of her state enjoyed somewhere about the birth of Time. The youth of Sparta and the soldiers of Crete danced to the assault, keeping time to a rude measure they chanted. We can, how ever, imagine their steps only a crude pas gymnastique an ungraceful version of that "Shanghai-drill" that so delights the bosoms of our maidens, as performed by the bone and sinew of our volunteers. In the high Grecian civilization, we learn that Socrates hied him to the bower of Aspasia, and, under her teachings, learned "To nimbly caper In a lady's chambw, To the lascivious pleasings of a late,' or lyre. The highest Grecian idea of grace was drawn from the pose of the dancer; for the most perfect of their recovered statues is the god of the dance, and their most cunning chisel wrought the dancing-faun. But, in the Reman era, dancing became unfashionable among the great, and was al most given over to the slaves and actors who amused them at their feasts. The straiter laced of the period made the dance a butt for shafts of invective or ridicule, being appa rently as much in earnest as more modern prudes, who perhaps made such their proto types. Cicero gravely reprehends the sport in Gabinus, declaring it beneath his consular dignity; and Sallust assures Sempronia that to dance so well invites a doubt of her being an honest woman. Kingsley, too, in his "Hypatia" that wonderful picture of the wonderful city shows the ineffable disdain of the philosopher for the dancer. It was only in the middle ages that a sort of order crept into the dance. What had hitherto been an nnarranged gymnastic, de pendent wholly on individual power, now first came under general rules; and, as lan guage and music before it, the dance began to possess a grammar of motion. Then it once more came under the patronage of the great became the fashion. At the French and Spanish and later at the English courts, the formal measure of minuet and polonaise were walked on all state occasions, first by royalty itself, and then by the highest in the land. Soma time later the coranto and gaUiard varied these by intruding their livelier ideas; next the icaltt was introduced; and, finally, such strange results of search after novelty as the gavotte and lavolta. In a poem published about the close of the sixteenth century, we find a description of tne latter danoe, which brings it into near re xationsnip witn tie polka 01 to-day, proving this age has no right to letters-patent for this invention. Queen Elizabeth, if not a polker nerseu, most probably had tne dance per formed before her, for the description of the poem is exact: "Yet Is there one a most delightful kind A lofty Jumping, or a leaping round; Where arm-in-arm two dancer are entwined, And whirl themselves, with strict embracemeits bound. And still their feet an anapoe do sound An anapo38t is all their music's song w nose erst two reet are short, and tnira u long." The "anapaest" here plainly marks the pecu liarity of the polka step; and we are at liberty to picture to ourselves tne Knightly Sidney, our burly cousin Burleigh, or the gentle Raleigh, doing a backstep at the bidding of Leicester, for the delectation of the royal guest 01 iienuwortn. Ihe descent may be long but it is rapid from the glitering pageants of chivalry to the glaring ones of "shoddy. A lustrum or two since "our best society was agitated to its centre. Polka, like Harlequin unrehearsed. bounded over the head of all the proprieties, twirled round upon her toe, to the wonder ment of the elect, and then settled comfort ably down in their midst. Polka, the daugh ter 01 1'roffress, was not to be put down as her more quiet cousins-german had been. She knew that to do was but to dare; and, acting on the knowledge, she succeeded Years before, the waltz, "imported from the Rhine, had become the feature of every May day frolio on the village-greens in England. But her capital did not embrace the stranger with great fervor. Almack's had already replaced the minuet of the previous generation by the stiff quadrille, and though a daring few encouraged the waltz, they could not sustain her long. Prim Propriety, of the strictly British stamp, refused to heed the whispers of that comely maiden, Uommon-sense; there were myste rious allusions to the Scarlet Woman; and the grace! ui child 01 uermany and Spain was voted a licentious gipsy, fit only for banish ment to Mabille, or at best for a corner of Cremorne. So the waltz, as all persecuted things of the Old World had done before her, fled across the water to ns; though in her case the reception was a little different. Here, too, she was voted impure by the modesty of the period. But immaculate society even then enjoyed its noble and elevating recreations. Then, as now, Mrs. Aurifas Midas would be "at home" on stated evenings; then, as now, Mr. Anrif er Midas would do his duty to society as, groaning, he signed the heavy check for the yearly "crush. Nightly would the invariable Belinda deck her hair with pearls, drape her shapely bust with transparent illusion, and Bee that she was ravishly bottee. Nightly would the inevitable T. Totum coax on lni maculate kids, complacently examine his own feet, and plunge through the crowd to seek Belinda's, and lead them through funereal quadrilles. Dowagers donned diamonds and laces; papas groaned into unwonted dress coats and unbounded white vests; and the world of ton jammed itself into overheated rooms to eat, drink, and be merry if prac ticable. Then, as now, Mrs. Aurifer Midas' ball wa3 always a success. There was the same dis play of diamonds and bust; muoh eating and drinking; more buzz and malice. The names of the most noted, eked out with stars, were duly chronicled, and dresses were commented on in the Weekly Spatterer; and sundry young gentlemen "slept at a friend's." Still, an undefined and misty idea prevailed that tne uau was not all it should be; tt at something might have made it pleasanter, If the Inevitable T. Totum had any mind it was haunted by a suspicion and he whis- Eered it to his invariable Belinda that gob ling croquettes, bibbing Burgundy, and walking dismal "squares," was not, after all, the acme 01 party enjoyment. The inevitable T. lotum whispered this rank treason, and the revolution came! None could tell whence, when, how; but, like a flash of heat-lightning from the surcharged cloud of dullness brooding over Sooiety, it came and the "German was born! Apple. ton s Journal. OHITUARV.

I THE BABBATH. . The following testimonies and experiences. sot of the clergy, but of statesmen, philoso phers, and men of wide reputation in legal, medical, literary and commercial life, bearing on a subject attracting considerable attention at the present time, may not be uninteresting to our readers: 'If Sunday had not been observed as a day of rest during the last three centuries, I have not the smallest doubt that we should have been at this moment a poorer and less civil ized people than we are. Lord Macaulay. " J. here is no religion without worship, or no worship without the Sabbath." Count Montalembert. 1 The more faithfully I apply myself to the duties of the Lord's day, the more happy and successful is my business during the week." Sir Matthew Hale. A corruption of morals usually fol lows a profanation of the Sabbath." Black stone. "The Sabbath as a political institution is of inestimable value, independently of its claim to divine authority." Adam Smith. "Sunday is a day of account, and a candid account every seventh day is the best pre paration for the great day of account." Lord Karnes. I can truly declare that to me the Sab bath has been invaluable. William WU- berforee. "Give the world half of bunday, and you will find religion has no strong hold of the other." Sir Walter Scott. "Where there is no Christian Sabbath there is no Christian morality; and without this free institutions cannot long be sus tained." Justice Me Lean. "The longer I live the more highly do I estimate the Christian Sabbath, and the more grateful do I feel towards those who impress its importance on the community. uamcl Webster. In a genera order, issued November 15, 1862, President Lincoln commanded that bunday labor in the army and navy be re duced te the measure of strict necessity. The discipline and character of the national ferces should not suffer, nor the cause they defend be imperilled, by the profanation of the day or name of the Most High. Attorney-General Bates, of the Cabinet, wrote: "The religious character of an insti tution so ancient, so sacred, so lawful, and so necessary to the peace, the comfort, and the respectability of society, ought alone to be sunicient for its protection; but, that failing, surely the laws 01 the land made for its ac count ought to be as strictly enforced as the laws for the protection of person and pro perty. If the Sunday laws be neglected or despised, the laws of person and property will soon share their fate and be equally disre garded." - Ml hfl Kohhftth mflf hn AhflATvAf aa m inrf rest. This I do not state as an opinion, but V KJWWMV SV VWDV1 T w no CS) Vixtjr V knowing that it has its foundation upon a law in man's nature as fixed as that he must take food or die." Dr. Willard Parker, of jyew xerk city. "As a day of rest, I view tho Sabbath as a day of compensation for the inadequate restorative power 01 tne body under con tinued labor and excitement. One day in seven, by tne bounty 01 1'rovidence, is thrown in as a day of compensation to per fect by its repose the animal system."- John Richard Farre, M. D., of London, England. Lia i'resse, one of the great secular jour nals of Paris, has said, "England owes much of her energy and character to the religious keeping of Sunday. Why cannot France follow her, as the Babbath was made for all men, and we need its blessing ? The present Lord Chancellor of England stated at a pubiio meeting, "i am glad to say that our Bunday in London is not yet like a continental Sunday. Looking at the question from the lowest point of view, it is the especial duty and interest of working men to discourage all attempt to interfere with the seventh day as a day of rest; for, once let the Parisian system come into vogue in this country, under which the scaffolds of pubiio buildings were, as crowded with workmen on Sunday as on any other day, and they would have to work seven days for the pay now re ceived for six.- "So far as my observation extends, those who are in the habit of avoiding worldly cares on the Babbatn are those most remark able for the perfect performance of their duties during the week. I have a firm belief that such persons are able to do more work. and do it in a better manner, in six days than if they worked the whole seven. John U. Warren, M. D., Professor in the Medical College of Harvard University, A very profound and wonderful reform has just been begun in Paris. The principal snops, including tnose 01 nearly all tne linen drapers, hosiers, Bilk mercers, and venders of ready-made apparel, will henceforth be closed on bundays. Tne merchants have taken tnis step of their own accord, and the employes appeal to tne good will of the pubiio to aid them in making the measure general. JS. r. Times, July 8: 18CU "I have long been of the opinion that it is to the interest of the railroad and steamboat companies to suspend operations on the Sab bath, as it demoralizes the men and makes them reckless, and so ts the cause of many accidents. I believe railroad companies would be much more prosperous if Bunday running was entirely suspended. I suppose tnere are employed on tne railways or tne united btates, on tne oaDDaia, inirty tnou- sand men." S. Ruth, Superintendent of the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad. ' "Many years' experience and observation more and more convince me as a railroad man that even in an economic point of view there is no more profitable rule for us to f ol- low. than 'remember the Sabbath day to keep it holv. Colonel Ueorae A. Merreu, ituver- intendent of the Rutland and Burlington Railroad. "From experience I know that laborers, mechanics, managers, etc., will do more work, and do it better, in six days than in sevtn. urtber, U we nauituauy ass our men to break God's law by a desecration of the Sabbath, it will not be long before they will break His law in other respeets, by de- frandine. etc." J. P. Farley, Supennten- dent of tne lmouque ana oioux vay iwuroaa. "In nearlv thirty years experience on Western and Southern railroads, I have never found it necessary to run Sunday trains except when connecting or competing lines rendered it so. I think men perform more work in six days, resting every seventh, than when they work every day. I also think men are more reliable and trustworthy on roads where the Sabbath is observed tnan where the dav of rest is ignored." E. GJlir- n, SuverintendcHt Selma, Rome, and Dal- ton Railroad. "I do not believe the running of Sunday trams is profitable to the company; and that it is a positive violation of Divine law none can doubt. lion. Abram AluritocK, President of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. "The want of cessation from labor on the canals, railroad, and steamboat lines of the country on the babbath has a tendency to degrade the tone of morals in the community; yet less censure can attach to those men who are compelled to labor for their ' daily bread, than to owners and employers who require the service to be performed." J. Durand, General Superintendent of the Little Miami, Columbus, and Zenia Railroad. -,- "It is for the interest of the company to allow our employes the rest of the Sabbath." E. B.
