From the Ji. Y. Tribune.
English travellers among us have long
found it a comfort to their souls to style
Jonathan a step-child of Old England. It ex
plained without loss to their complaoency his
few commendable traits, and enabled them to
treat him as they would any othor unlicked
cub of a school boy; to gibe and tweak him
for his awkwardness, his uncouth accent and
brag. If asked for the moral character of the
young heir, they talked about spittodns, or
for his religion, they described the English
and Norwegian polygamists in Utah. We
hope, however, that under constant scourging
we are improving. We manifest a willing,
ness to accept our manners as well as our
literature at second-hand from the mother
country. A nod or frown from the Saturday
Ji view is the irrevocable flat for which our
publishers wait breathless; our novelists
take the soporific gossip of Trollope as their
model; oar would-be fine gentleman tries
to force his natural Yankee shrewd
ness or Southern impetuosity into the
narrow mould of the!insolent conceit of John
Bull as seen abroad. Bat Jonathan, big
bonod, honest, and downright, must forever
full short of his well-bred progenitor in the
one point of cool stoicism, which she has
attained. He may be bard to rouse, but
when a great wrong, such as slavery, comes
fairly to his knowledge, the stupid lout has a
habit of going at it headlong, without count
ing the cost. If it be his right arm that
offends him, he cuts it off, thongh his life
blood follow the blow. In the civil war the
whole nation was ready to commit hari-kari
to right its wounded honor. Whether it be a
point of religion, politics, or social wrong
that comes to light, we all take it to heart,
and grow fierce and excited until it is ad-
i" listed according to our own notions of right.
England, on the contrary, sits oool and un
impassioned, viewing every subject with the
same speculative eye of expediency. She is
too well bred to violate her own neutrality,
either to serve God or her fellow man. Unless,
indeed, it serves herself.
The most admirable example of this lofty
calm comes to us in our last dispatches. We
commend it to impulsive Jonathan. The
Church and London Missionary Societies
have applied to the Government for aid in
China, not in the shape of military support,
but intercession on their behalf with the Em
peror and local authorities. All they ask is
the prestige of the British name. Through
Mr. Burlingame, China extended a welcome,
willing enough, if not exactly cordial, to
Christianity. The treaty of Tien-tsin recites
that the Christian religion as professed by
Protestants and Catholics inculcates the prac
tice of virtue, and teaches man to do as he
would be done by, and provides that persons
professing it shall not be persecuted by the
Chinese authorities. France has long ex
tended her protection over her missionaries,
and the English ministers not unreasonably
ask for the same moral support from their
own Government. Now comes in the high
bred passivity so characteristic of Mrs. Bri
tannia. She is not at all certain that it would
be civil to Fagan nations to commit herself to
Christianity so far as to request a hearing for
the missionaries. Lord Clarendon assures
them that if they will venture on business so
troublesome and under-bred aj Gospel preach
ing it must be at their own risk. Sir Rather
ford Aloock, in behalf of the Government,
trashes its hands finally of all connection
with Christianity, adding that it is his opinion
that the Chinese are opposed to any Euro
pean innovations, including religion, and he
regards it as unmannerly to persist in intro
ducing it to their notice.
Just as Christianity had reoeived ita polite
dismissal Sir Wilfred Lawson, a well-known
hobby-rider, dragged opium on the field before
the House of Commons. It was a grisly,
ghastly subject enough: he could have brought
no more unhandsome or ua welcome corpse
between the wind and their nobility. On the
one hand, the culture of the poppy and its
sale in China were the great source of revenue
to Englishmen in India; on the other, it was
murder to both tool and body of the Chinese.
The Chinese Government was violently op
posed to its importation; members could not
shut their eyes to that. They had an uneasy
remembrance that it had been first forced
on the Chinamen by Englishmen at the can
non's mouth. Sir 0. Wingfield took the bull
by the horns and urged that if the trade was
in truth so horrible a wrong it should be
stopped at once, whatever might be the
pecuniary loss to the Indian colonies.
Traffio more murderous to human
beings than the slave-trade must be
checked. If China ehose to thrust back
the cup of poison from her lips, England
should not force it down her throat. Bat
mark again how the good breeding of Bri
tannia comes in. She mildly replies through
Mr. Grant Duff that China is entirely mis
taken. The fact is that she drinks too muoh
tea. She requires opium to neutralize the
effects of that stimulant. It is for her good,
and being good, England, like a courteous
host, insists on her swallowing the opium,
She must and shall swallow the opium. If it
stultifies and kills her, as she weakly cries,
that is her own fault. The tea must be
counteracted. The opium is so certain a
good that it must be forced down her throat;
the Bible is another affair. We do not think
that this hospitable Britannia remembers that
poppies put money in her purse, and that
Christianity is usually a beggar; we prefer to
believe that she is influenced only by the rare
refinement 01 politeness.
TO YOUNG MEN ABOUT TO MARRY.
from the H. Y. Tiinee.
Ladies' dressmakers are very often students
of character, but we doubt whether there are
many of them who can compare for wisdom
and sagacity with Mrs. Olivia P. Flynt,
who has consecrated her genius to the em
bellibhment of the fair sex in Boston. She
is evidently a most superior woman, and we
trust the notice we are about to give her will
have the effect of opening the eyes of a pur
blind world to her merits.
Mrs. Flynt recently had a customer who
lived in the Revere House. She made many
dresses for this customer, and in coarse of
time sent in her little bill. The amount hor
rified the lady's husband a very common
result in such oases and the account was
subjected to other "artists'" in dress, for a
professional opinion. They came to the con
clusion that Mrs. Flynt's bill was overcharged
abont nine hundred dollars, a perfectly insig
nificant sum, and not worth making a fuss
about. But the lady and her hunbaud refused
to pay the amount claimod, and so Mrs.
Flynt was compelled to bring an action to
recover it, in a court of Uw-a proceeding
wbich must have ben rurst distressing to
, her ftelings.
Before the trial was opened,' the dress
maker sent to her "client" a letter, which was
quite worthy of the very best letter-writers
extant, and which contained as much worldly
wisdom as Talleyrand's maxims and "Lo-
thair combined, in the nrst place, Mrs.
Flynt traces her customer's refusal to pay the
bill to a general decline in her moral nature.
Once the Raid customer was unassuming and
kind. Of late it appears that she had dis
played a fatal passion for "getting into so
ciety," and so, Btep by step,' she fell, until
she was capable of committing the revolting
crime of objecting to pay her dress-maker's
bill. "How can you," proceeds Mrs. Flynt,
with an irony which is not inconsistent with
her name, "gaze upon your own reflection in
the mirror, and derive the slightest satisfac
tion from your adornments, knowing that
they are not paid for?" Here Mrs. Flynt's
knowledge of human nature seems slightly
inperfect. A good many people can gaze
upon their "adornments" without being dis
turbed by the thought that they are not paid
for. In some cases it even lends an addi
tional zest to the, gratification which new
clothes are capable of Imparting. "Such a
change from the Madam of farmer days,
nays the satirical dress-maker, "cannot be.
There is some terrible illusion." Let us hope
that at least the dress-maker did not lend
her arts to create the illusion.
But observe the tact of this accomplished
woman, bhe ruavs on one of her defaulting
customer's fashionable friends against her.
hue commends to her notice tne behavior of
Mrs. T." This faultless lady actually paid
for her dresses beforehand. "Her bill was
nearly four thousand dollars from Jan. 1 to
April 1, and will far exceed that this season."
And this is JJoston economy! It has always
been supposed that the ladies of Boston never
ordered a new dress above once in a twelve
month, and prided themselves in not being
like those "dreadful .New lork young wo
men, who always wear the latest fashions.
Mrs. Flynt has given a great shock to this
superstition. She declares that not only does
"Mrs. T. pay her thousands of dollars each
season, but is "perfectly satisfied" also. She
merely goes on to threaten the Revere
House patron that the newspapers will
all be let loose upon her. "One of the
best reporters is a particular friend of
ours. The papers will be glad to publish
such a novel and interesting trial, and it will
be copied far and near. Our lawyer
will get the thing done up in good style, be
assured. Ve have not been able to accom
modate Mrs. Flvnt bv rmblishinc the full
account of her novel trial, but so far as onr
(j
abstract of her story goes it tells very much
in her favor. A customer complained that
she had been grossly overcharged, and Mrs.
Flynt threatens to expose her in the news
papers, and then institutes an action against
her. That is the only way to serve people
who will not pay their bills. As for the class
referred to in the heading of these lines, they
will readily detect the moral of Mrs. Flynt s
narrative, although it may not be the one she
intended to convey. If a Boston lady cannot
be "dressed" for less than thousands of dol
lars a season, what must it cost to embellish
one of the unregenerate ? This is a little
calculation which engaged young men can
work out by the "rule of proportion at their
leisure.
"THAT SCAMP WILLIAM PENN."
From the N. Y. World.
By a strange coincidence there have come
to us, literally on the same day, two kindred
memorials or at least so near akin that they
relate, though in dinerent fashion, to a single
and illustrious fashion canonized on the other
side of the Delaware. The one is a very
graceful sketch, filled out with personal recol
lections of the lineage of William Penn, the
founder, him at whose; feet Philadelphia is
bound to worship, and to whom, if we re
member rightly, she has erected a lovely
statue in historical costume. It is from the
pen of Mr. John Jay Smith, the venerable
ex-librarian of that city, and tells, in fitting
terms of gentle eulogy, of the virtues of that
curious family which, illustrated by the rug
ged qualities of the old admiral nut and the
milder merits of the founder afterwards, is,
though told in pleasant words, a sad tale ef
intellectual insignificance and melancholy
decay. The very name of Penn has passed
away. Stoke Pogis is theirs no longer. At
the same moment we are regaled or startled
by a new revelation oa the same theme of
not so pleasant a nature. The Press, organ
of Philadelphia loyal literature, tells us that
the librarian of the Massachusetts Historical
Society, "in overhauling a lot of old papers,"
recently found a letter, dated "September ye
15, 1C82," from Cotton Mather to "ye aged
and beloved Mr. John Higginson," which
runs thns:
"There bee now at sea a shlppe (for our friend Mr.
f anina UsloBa ft- f T Ailti Mil orlirtaa niA kv h n
last packet that it wolde gall some time In August)
called ye Welcome, R. Greenaway master, which
lias aboard an hundred or more of ve heretics and
malignant, called Quakers, with w. Penne, who U
jd chief scampe at the hedde of them. YeOeneial
Court has accordingly given secret orders to Master
Alalochl lluxbtt, of ye brig Porposae, to waylaye ye
said Welcome aa near the coast of Codde as may be.
and make captive ye said Penne and his ungodlle
crew, bo that ye Lord may be glorifled anil not
mouKea on ye sou or mis new countre wun ye
heathen worehlppe of these people. Much spoyl can
be made by selling ye whole lotte to Barbadoes,
where slaves fetch good prices In rumme and sugar.
and we shall not only do ye Lord great service by
ruDlBhing ye wicked, but shall make great gayne for
his minlBieis and oeoDle.
'Master Iluxett feels hopeful, and I will set down
the news be brings when hla shlppe comes back.
''Yours in ye bowells of Christ,
"COTTON Matheb."
In the light of this revelation one may be
excused for pausing to meditate on the pro
bable course of things had the Reverend Mr.
Mather's plan of spoliation sucoeeded, and
Master Malacni Huxett, of the brig Porpoise,
off the coast of Uod or anywhere else, cap
tured the Welcome and directed that "soamp
Penn" to the West Indies. It is very clear
the City of Brotherly Love would not have
been founded, and Its rectangular peculiari
ties, its white window shutters and Saturday
ablutions, not beeome immortal. Quit-rents
would not have been, and mixed clinics under
Quaker auspices and the Rush legaoy would
not have disturbed the fortieth parallel of
latitude. Poor Penn, too how sadly differ
ent bis doom ! He and his descendents had
rather a hard time of it as it was, for his
vaunted colony was a dreadful disappoint
ment to him for the last thirty years of his
life. lie ran away and left it, and bis chil
dren did no better.
"All this fair land and Its abundance, savs Mr.
flmlib. were left for the ease and honor of the Old
World, and It U not mere hyperbole to say aban
doned for lebs noble objects of ambition. Agents
and sub-agents, at a heavy cost, were employed;
proprietary governors were salaried and supported;
th moneys received were always spent lu advance:
and a commlsslou and Interest were charged by
London bankers, who kept an open account with
f iiotra aa ion it aa there was anything to authorize
It. it teems aa If every stone of Pennsylvania Cat
tle cost a city lot; that every pane of glass la Stoke
urnm-loa alienated a ground rent; while every grand
eiilfJ talllUieiil lu tne wuuuu uuuos mj imcij uo
said to have tateu a mriu.
F.nt still all this was better than Barbadoes.
It would be interesting as a matter of com
mercial history to have seen Master UuietU'
r f.mii,t stiles of his adventure, and to know
I jHow many puncheons of rum and aogalitui.
of sugar would have been the equivalent for
a well-to-do Quaker of that day And genera
tion. If this letter be genuine and wo do
not doubt it, finding it in the Press it is a
charming eomment on the claims of Massa
chusetts to be free from all contamination of
slavery and the slave trade. There is in it a
mixture of piety and pelf, tho glory of the
Lord and rum and sugar, which is eminently
characteristic of tne golden age of lioston.
CURIOSITIES OF TIIE PLEBISCITARY
VOTE IN FRANCE.
From the A". F. Hn-aUL
The 8th of May, as the archivists of the
Paris press remind us, has not always been
favorable to ruling ministries. It was on that
date, in 1821, that Roger d'Argenson died;
on that date, in 1785, the Duo de Choiscul,
another French Minister, expired, and the
famous Marquis de Pombal of Portugal, then
in power, gave up the ghost on that day in
182. The ministry of Louis Phi.ipno re
ceived a fatal blow from the crisis tint super
vened on the 8th of May, 1847. Within a
year the king was in exile. The 8th of May
has been otherwise remarkable in French his
tory. On that day, in 1816, the old liberty of
divorce was abolished, and only the right of
separation from bed and board retained. It
has its revolutionary prestige, running back
to the Reign of Terror. Fouquior de Tiaville,
the publio accuser, alleged in tho Red tribunal
of 1794 that the publio farmers general
cheated the people, and on the 8th of May
they were beheaded; but on that very day,
one year later, he too felt the edge of the
guillotine. Great accidents also have marked
the date; for on May 8, 1842, occurred the
terrible accident on the ersailles Railwav,
near Paris, that cost the Admiral D'Urville
his life, after he had made two or three voy
ages around the world in safety. The oppo
sition party in Franco will think the 8th of
May, 1870, the worst episode of all, for it
brought to them a fearful overthrow. Al
though in the department of the Seine alone
there were about 100,000 votes not cast, the
Emperor's policy received 140,000, whilo in
the Presidential election of December 10,
1848, he, as Prince Louis Napoleon, got of
4;5.V:!2 votes registered a total of only
198,fi()0, while Cavaignae had !b,571 and
47,758 were scattering, with 91,80.') not cast.
Yet this was in tho very flush of tho first
popularity of his nomination.
In the district of M. Thiers, strange to sav,
the Government bad a sweeping majority in
the late election, while, quite as curiously, in
that of M. Ollivier, the commercial heart of
Toris, things went the other way, with C,'Mi
votes withheld. The result arose from rea
sons depending rather upon the Ollivier Min
istry than upon the Emperor, and had to do
with mercantile dissatisfaction at certain spe
cial measures. Marseilles seoms, with its
excitable and turbulent population, to have
been well worked by the Reds, for it rrave
thirty thousand nays against fourteen thou
sand voting yea. But, on the other hand,
there were thirty thousand other votes not
cast. There was an evident fear of revolu
tionary outbreak and vengeance. In Paris
the aspect of things was peculiar. Several
noted opposition leaders were denied admis
sion to the inner rooms at the polls,
and at the military barracks were warned
off at the point of the bayonet. Hence
their clamors about the "stulhug" of ballot
boxes. During the day there was a tremen
dous scare started by the story that a cask of
gunpowder had been found under the bar
racks at the Chateau d'Eau; but upon inves
tigation it was discovered to be only a
harmless barrel of tnr left there by some
workmen who had been repairing the gas
pipes. All sorts of disquieting reports were
put in motion, but without effect. The
Emperor's sudden death, the flight of
Eugenie, tne defection or tne I am garrison,
the general arrest of all the opposition de
puties and editors, the placing of Paris under
martial law, and an organized, premeditated
massacre of citizens by tne troops, were
among the canards Btarted during the voting
hours; but the day rolled by, and with it what
was left of insurgent hopes. Hereafter the
8th of May will be marked with a white stone
in the imperial JNapoieonio annals; for it
rendered quite possible within a reasonable
period what before seemed but distant
visions, glonous indeed, but shadowy in their
remoteness, to wit: Bonaparte sceptres in
Rome, in Florence and in Madrid; the con
solidation of the Napoleon dynasty; the leader
ship and direct control of the Latin race; the
Mediterranean made, indeed, a a rencn lake,
and one of these days the oriflamme or the
tri color fluttering from Mount Zion.
THEY IS, IS THEY?
Prom the N. T. World.
A loil paper is terribly incensed at onr
criticism of Grant's declaration in his anti
Fenian proclamation that "the United States
is at peace" with Great Britain, and, by way
OI attmouBiraiing our error, asserts iu mo
usual kindly style of Radical argument that
the World "shows its disloyalty ia its gram,
mar." How grammar can be loil or disloiL
any more than arithmetic or astronomy or
geology, is not explained to as; but the im
port of this loil editor's remarks is probably
that it is proper to say ol tne united btates
they is. The point is Boon settled. The Con
stitution says, Article II., section 1, para
graph 7, that tne l'resident snail receive dur
ing his term of office a fixed compensation
for his services, and ho shall not reoeive
within that period any other emolument from
the L mted States vr any oj them. Also, Article
I, section 9, paragraph 7: "No title of no
bility shall be granted by the United States.
and no person holding any office of profit or
trubt under them" and Khali receive presents
from a foreign power unless with the permis
sion of Congress. Also, article ill, section
3, paragraph 1: "Treason against the UniU-d
btates 6Hail consist only in levying war
ecamst them, or in adhering to their ene
mies, giving them aid and comfort." And
still furthermore, article XI (amendment;:
"The judicial power of the United btates
shall not be construed to extend to any suit
in law or equity commenced or prosecuted
against one of the United States by citizens
of another btate or subjects oi any foreign
power.
But, says some loil man, all this is the
subtle virus of elaverv; we nave nad a war
and purged the Constitution of this plural
heresy, so that if there be a unity any jvhere
the United btates is. is they r Liet us see.
The thirteenth amendment is that which
abolished slavery, and in this we read that
neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for crime, whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall exist within the United States, or any
tjUutb subieot to their iurisdictiou."
Our loil and irate friend must rub up and
brush np and refresh his knowledge of our
fundamental law. lie might even do well to
so far violate the usage of his creed as to read
the Constitution of his country, ihe exer-
cine would be not less pleasing than novel,
and perhaps might be found to have its usos.
The day has passed when the great henrt of
the nation or its gizzard, or auy other snch
bibgulur ioccral truyo, cau be yodubly
brandished in these United States.) A spirit
of inquiry into the real nature of our politi
cal sj stem is abroad 'in the land, and the
heresies by which we have been so grossly
robbed pnd insulted foi some years past can
not hope much longer to cloak themselves
under a guise of indubitable truth and pre
eminent purity. '
