TIIE PHYSICAL EDUCATION OF GIRLS.
Frvmth Bmton Journal. '
,We lament the weakness and suffering of
the women of ear own litue, bat what m.Rt
be the future of those bright-eyed, delicate
little creatures now growing tip around r,
whose pale faces and subdued manner tell of
more evecipjj excitement, mental stimulus,
and social restraint than any generation be
fore them eror knew? Tueir diet, theur dress
their atuiiBeuoents, seem intended to weaken
and destroy; and if American mothers were
bent npon the slaughter of their own inno
cents, they conld not devise a more effective
manner for its accomplishment
Boys in their early years Buffer in the same
way as girls from these pernicious customs of
onr domestic life, but they escape from them
sooner, and their subsequent diversions are
such as lead them into the open air and the
sunshine. Tlaying hall, asking, boating,
hunting, driving, all tend to physical growth
nd well-being. In plaoe of these, what Is
the girl taught to seek in leisure hoars ?
Worsted work, crotcheting, piano-playing
pretty and fascinating employments, but
serving to develop neither the body nor the
mind..
We cross the , Common on Fast day after
noon, and pause on the hill to Burvey the
base ball players, who are wielding their bats
on the plain below, and tanning their bases
a9 thoogh their lives depended npon making
a home run. Further on we encounter a
surging mass of small urchins tossing a foot
ball, with wild shouts and frantio rushes. It
is the nation's holiday, and we see that this
leaping and screaming is good for the little
fellows, and that thus they will best grow
into men. But where are the girls mean
while? In what spirited games are they
strengthening their yoang limbs, throwing
back their shoulders, and tilling the deepest
air-cells of their lungs with fresh oxygen ?
There glide a few of them along the trim
paths arrayed in their finest, most burden
some atthe, with arms pinned to their sides
like the wings of a trussed fowl, and turning
neither to the right hand nor the left, as they
move demurely past. They may glance aside
to behold the wild sports of their brothers,
but a proper sense of the lady-like and the
becoming keeps them from moving at a faster
pace, or discussing the soene before them in
more animated tones. So they balance along
on their high heels, holding parasols carefully
in their glove-cramped hands, lest a drop of
sunshine should touch their -pallid cheeks.
The greater number of their sisters are
housed at home, hemming superfluous ruffles,
or knitting tidies on which! to lean their
feeble heads.
Girls formerly had some out-door fun and
jollity, but nearly all the active sport ia
which they were wont to indulge seem aban
doned. igoroas exercise in running was
once gained by rolling a hoop; but now we
seldom see, npon the uncrowded pavement,
the pretty sight of a little fresh-cheeked
maiden pursuing her flying circlet of wood.
And 4T spy" and "tag" will this generation
ever know sucn wild, Hazardous pleasure as
they gave ? Whoever hears now the mystio
tune of "Eeny, meeny, mony, mi," recited
before a row of anxious damsels, all braced
for a swift start when the last decisive syllable
snail strike i Even the breathless and plod
ding agor-ies of "hop scotch" served to delight
us by the hoar in those departed days; but
its chalked diagram has vanished from oar
sidewalks. The pretty games of grace hoop
and battledoor deserved immortality, but
they, too. have gone out with all the other
lost glories of childhoods We still see
in faLcy the suspended hoop, flattering
witn many colored ribbons, as it new back
and forth in the summer air; but it hangs
faded and useless on the wall of an old man
sion; no younger grandchildren learn to
catch it on crossed wan i. Strolling along
the shade-dappled sward of the orchard or
the lawn, we hear no longer the swift click
of the shuttlecock beating against the ever
shifting battlo-dores, nor behold the uplifted
head, the eager eyes, the flushed cheeks of
the two players, glowing with the exhiia
rating sport. More graceful games were
never invented, and they strengthened the
arms, trained tbe sight, and expanded the
chest; but, alas, they are no longer possible
when our gills are encased in tight bo lies,
and cas neither swing their arms freely, nor
lift them above their heads.
The gymnastio evolutions, of late so much
in favor'in our schools, require girls to don a
loose blouse for their performance, and, if
no other advantage results, it is a good thing
for them to be oonscious twice a week of
some fnedoin and comfort in dress. The
varied posing of body and limbs which they
require is certainly an improvement npon
monotonous repose; but how much better is
some active, enlivening game in the open
air, where the movements are spontaneous
and all the senses alive, than any methodical
tossing of the bean-bags or concerted crack
ing of elbow joints under the eye of a calis
iLeiie tutor!

-TROCIIU.
Whether Paris shall capitulate in despair at
the prospect of a struggle, or suocumb before
starvation, or surrender after a successful
bombard ment and assault, depends more
upon General Trochu than upon the Frovi
tiional Government. As Governor of Paris
and Commander of the Army of Defense, be
is possessed of supreme power at the capital.
Jules Favre is the only member of the Gov
ern men t now there beside himself, and it is
possible that be stays merely because unwll
ling to leave the city in a balloon, after the
fashion of his colleague, M. Gambetta. He
has no power of himself to carry on negotia
tions; but perhaps he think that, if . King
William should force his way into Paris, be
misht be serviceable as a representative of
the Government and Minuter of Foreign Af
fairs. In suoh an event, however, the King
would probably prefer to deal with General
Trochu, who, though acting under ine an
thority of the Provisional Government, was
appointed to the place be holds by the rescript
of the ex-Jumperor.
It is presumed that, in regard to tbe d e-
fense of Paris, Trochu . will be governed
almost wholly by military consideration, lie
is fully aware of all the circumstances. lie
knowns bis own strength and resources and
those of tbe enmy. , lie oouiursae-nda the
fortifications of Paris, and is awar of the
clans and means by which the German! can
attack them: ' lie knows the ' elements ' of
weakness in the city, to what extent it ia pro
visioned, and has an Idea when U must sue
cauib under the blockade. It will be in con-,
sideration of Iheae thinga that fau policy will

npuu any assistance from fcUiof parU'of
France. Ills mItiM ion and propecta would
be very different from wbt they now are, if
be could seriously expect did ia raising the
siege from either of tbe three armies ' an
nounced as forming in the Southern and
Westein provinces of Franco. Bat, since the
fall of Strasbmg and Toul, the Germans have
such a force around Paris that they can at any
time detach a body snfuctantly large to march
out and give battle to any army of French
recinita tbut nilght' attempt to come to the
relief of the oily. General Trochn ia con
scions of this, without donhf ; aed, therefore,
be iaware that he must depend npon hit
own resources for such defense as he may be
determined upon making.
If General Trochu possessed military
genius, wa might "expect to be surprised" at
any moment by the inauguration or execu
tion of some magnificent operation, some
master-stroke of soientino warfare. It is not
hard to believe that a great Boldier, be
leaguered in Paris as Troohu now is, with
010,000 troops under bis commnnd, might
project and carry out nn audacious move
ment against the enemy that would at leat
give promise of successful results, and w.uld,
in any event, give him a different kind of
"glory" from that won by the Generals who
have lately been surrendering their armies by
wholesale. lint we have never yet had any
reason to believe that Trochu belongs to the
highest order of commanders, or that he ia any
thing more than a good military theorizer and
organizer. lie boa during his career had but
little experience in actual war, and no expo
rlf-nce at all as the commander of an army.
Before the present war he bad a reputation
in the army as a man of talent: but it was
mainly based upon tbe fact that he had
written a meritorious work in criticism of the
military seivice of France. ' The book show
him to be a mnn of fine intellect and admira
ble ideap; but he will have to conduct s;io
cessfnl campaigns, as well as write military
criticisms, before he can bo considered a great
Eoldier. lie has, at this time, a prominent
part to play in the history of France; and
tbe Germans will not give him mach loader
to prepare for the performance.

HUGIIES ON ENGUSII
REBEL
SYMPATHY.
From tht JT. F. World. ',
The lecture on English views of the Ame
rican civil war, delivered by Mr. Thomas
Ilughep, M. P., in Boston, and reported in
our paper on Wednesday, ij much better
worth notice than most utterances of the
kind. In so far as Mr. Hughes has touched
one of tbe points of irritation in the com
plaints made by our people against England,
namely, the accordance of the belligerent
character to the Confederate States, his tes
timony confirms the views which have been
repeatedly expressed in the World. We
have always maintained that the proolama
tion of neutrality was in itself a friendly act,
dictated by proper motives. Mr. Hughes
has stated, as indeed was well known before
on this bide of the Atlantic, that the
proclamation not only had the sanction
of the staunchest friends of the Union
in Parliament, but that it was issued at the
earnest suggestion of A3r. John Forster, who
was always particularly active and zealous in
our cause, and who certainly hid every rea
son to believe that it was a correct and pro
per step. And we must say that we think it
quite time our administration had decided to
eliminate this matter from the controversies
and negotiations pending between this coun
try and England. We will not now repeat
the reasons which have all along convinced
us that no English ministry can consent to
admit that an act of the crown, adopted with
the full sanction of all parties in Parliament,
in an affair of international policy and duty,
was done with unfriendly motives towards a
cation with which England was at peace,
or done unseasonably. To raise such a
point is enly to block the wheels of negotia
tion by discussions that can lead to no prac
tical result. The American Government now
has in hand, or ought to have, a matter of an
eminently practical character. It is, II jw
shall we obtain indemnification for the losses
of individuals sustained by the depredttiont
of the Alabama npon our commerce? That it
is the duty of our Government to obtain that
reparation, and that the principles of the
public law entitle us to demand it, we enter
tain no sort of doubt. All else that is com
prehended in our complaints against England
is matter of sentiment, feeling, and theoreti
cal controversy. We want damages pecu
niary damages for those of our citizens
whose ships were destroyed on the ocean bra
cruiser fitted out in England for the Confede
rate rervice, and known by the British Gov
ernment to be so intended before she SailaJ.
This alone baa any practical consequence.
If such reparation can be obtained, either
with or without au arbitration, the consent to
pay it, or the consent to arbitrate the ques
tion, will comprehend ail tbe apology and all
the satisfaction to onr national honor that we
need ever demand. The idea of seeking
consequential damages for remote injuries
supposed to have arisen from the recognition
of Kebel belligerency is one on wnicn a
theoretical and rhetorical statesman like
Mr. Sumner can make a flourishing
speech; but would vanish into thin
air tee moment it anouid be brought to
the test of arbitration before any sovereign
umpire, or before any board of impartial
civilians to whom this point of controversy
might be submitted. There ia nothing tan
gible about it. The complaint would be
ruled out of court on a demurrer. The most
ingenious pleader in a court of the law of
nations could not state a cause of action or a
well-grounded equitable claim arising on the
alleged injury or additional expense or loss
accruing to the Federal Government by
reason of the fact that England at a parti aular
time, or at any time, ohose to say to her
own subjects that there existed a war
between the United States and the
Confederate Mates, . and that they must
govern themselves .accordingly. But with
regard to the claims of our citizen! for
direct losses caused by the destruction of
their property by a cruiser fitted out In Eng
land after tbe proclamation of neutrality, the
case is very different. It U the duty of our
Government to press these claims; and if
gome mode is not devised speedily to satisfy
the ountrv on this point, we are not sure
that it will not become the dnty of the Demo
cratie party to point out to tbe administration
a mode of dealing with it which would om.
mand the respect and approbation of all
parties excepting Mr. Sumner and bis fol
lowers, jj. - :
On another point touched by Mr. Hughes
be baa not been so happy, We do not believe
that the sympathy felt In England toward
the Confederate cause is to be traced to any
peculiarities of caste, whether ariotooratio or
mercautila, or to aay original dire on, the
part of those eU&ses to see our Union broken
up. The nature of the question at issue had
more to 4o la creating the pro-Southern sy m
Datbv than any other causa.' We doubt the
existence ' of an Englishman' whrf Oftut '
rightly comprenena ice nature or the Auerl-
1 I .. . i l,.a . I .'.
'f can Union mm
of
1 gaidsd by ua
the North. Their
Ud-
derstandirg of the character of the Union
has always bee a very much the aam
as that of our Southern politicians and
people; and the mora cultivated and more
intelligent among the English people, the
men who bad read most about onr institu
tions which would naturally b the oas
among the aristocracy, the official men, and
the members of Parliament, with some nota
ble exception's regarded the Union as a con
federation capable of. being, dissolved by
ecrf&on of particular States, simply becaase
their habits of reasoning on such subject
naturally led them in that direction. They
looked, therefore, npon the Southern States
as communities struggling to be free from a
political bond, from which they had a right
to free themselves; and as it is the nature of
an Englishman, in such controversies, to side
ith the weaker party, and to sympathize
with men who are or seem to be contending
for political freedom, they gave their wishes
to the Rebels, in spite of the fact
tlat those rebels were slaveholders. The
me kind of inconsistency has been aga'n
and Again manifested by Englishmen in re
gard to the internal dissensions or disturb
ances in other nations besides ourselves, an 1
that it should have been witnessed ia our
case is in no way remarkable. The higher an
I nglishmau stands in the social scale and in
point of general intelligence, the more likely
will be be to commit such mistakes, and to
commit them from what is in the main a
feeLirm-.s feeling. On the other hand, the
, at body of the English people of the middle
and lower classes, who were staunch friends
of the Union from the first, were bo beo.vifle
tbiy never speculated upon or knew much
about the merits of the controversy, regarded
as a question of . political ethics or politic il
cauislry. They had nothing, therefore, to
intercept their instinct upon the slavery ques
tion, which led them directly to the conviction
tlat slavery or no slavery was the real
it-sue between the South and the North. But,
after all, there is very little practical good to
bo gained towards the settlement of the ques
tions pending between England and ourselves
l j undertaking to trace the causes or to assign
tbe responsibilities for tbe feelings enter
tained by one or another section of the Eng
lish people at the time when our civil war
w ob in progress. We have no doubt that it is
useful for Mr. Hughes to exert himself here
to dispel prejudice; but the thing to be done
is to get payment for our ships that were
buiLt by the Alabama.
TIIE EFFECT OF TIIE REPUBLICAN
DEFEAT IK NORTH CAROLINA.
Frtm the Jlalrigh Standard.
That the enlarged ideas of progress and
civilization, as represented by the Republi
can party, received a serious check, as the
result of the Augubt election, there is no
doubt. We regret that the party was de
feated, but we are of the opinion that it will
Lave the effect to winnow tbe chaff from the
wheat, and the party will enter the next cam
paign stronger than 6ver.
The effect of the election is quite different
to what it would have been if the Republi
cans had carried the State. As it is, there
are signs of revolution everywhere. The
Constitution is to be overturned. A conven
tion is to be called. One hundred thousand
dollars will be spent by the convention.
Officers in high position are to be impeached.
Strife and discord will be fomented, and the
peace and quiet of the Sabbath disturbed.
On the other band, if the Republicans had
succeeded in carrying the State, no changes
would have been made in the organic Ut.
The peace and quiet of the State would
have been preserved. Immigrants would
have settled in the State, believing that
they were castiog their fortunes with
a peaceable people and - a prosperous
State. How is it now ? People desiring
to immigrate do not turn their attention
to this State, only to observe the signs
ol Involution, which are in the immediate
future. The Kuklax have been Woken up,
but a reconstruction of the State is to take
place under the auspices of the Democratic
party. The "hideous mark" which was to
nave been placed upon the Union men had
the Confederate cause been successful, is to
be placed upon Republicans. The unsettled
condition in which the affairs of this State
Lave been for len years, is to be continued.
Just as the people begin to think they are
done with heated political campaigns of every
kind, and are settling down into peace and
quiet, and are endeavoring to build up their
broken fortunes, another party sucoeeds
to power, and it prooeeds to rerolt
ticuize the State . Government. Each
successive year of strife and uncertainty
makes the State and people poorer.
We pretest against the revolutionary move
ments of the Democrats. There is no neces
sity for a convention. All the reforms neces
sary to be made oan be made by the Legisla
ture. If the Democrats desire to retain con
trol of the State, they bad belter not call a
convention. Let the people rest. Do all
that needs to be done for the good of the.
State through the Legislature, but do not
harass the people with another coaveution
and its necessary expenses. Do not harass
the people with elections upon the question
of celling a convention, and the ratidcation
of tbe Constitution, should a convention be
called. Legislate in the interest of. peace.
Promote good feeling among all classes of the
people. Put down crime. Administer the
law bo as to make it a terror to evil-doers,
and a safe protection for the law-abiding
citizen. Upnold those in authority until
they are re-elected or succeeded according
to law.
The people are already alarmed. They
fear the abolition of the homestead provision.
They fear property qualification for voters
and office-holders. They fear they will be
taxed to pay for slave property. There are
many other things which they are justly
alarmed at. Therefore, we enter our protest
against the calling of a convention. -
IIOKSEBACK HIDING. . t
I ron the if. F. Time.
The popular taste for driving, like most
other popular tastes, baa run into extrava
gance. Tbe sober buggy and four-minute
trotter wherewith tbe frugal youth of twenty
years ago was content to aoatter the Olympic
dust of the Bloomingdale road, to-day would
be laughed to scorn. Only the lightest of
road wagons or the heaviest of dog-carts,
with at least a pair of thorough-breds, that
will do their mile among the forties,-can
aatiafy tbe tastea of the horse-taming lieotor
of the period. These represent tbe very
modesty of bis fancy. His dissipation vanta
itself in English drags and wonderful car-o-.
lanct tnd imported landaus with apikie teams,
or matched four-in-hands. A moment of
supreme inspiration ' even lent to our
btreete the - unwonted - joy of an English
atage-coach with all its appointments. . So

being verified, arid that the Houyhnhnms had
at last vindicated their superiority. A fine
horse attracts in most, oases more attention
than bis owner. The wealthy, whoso a fai
ence and virtues once noumhed a perennial
Jenkins, now appear in his delightful corres
pondence only as adjuncts, or aa trappings,
bo to speak, for their steeds. Ihese- the
veracious chronicler is never tired of trotting
out for the delectation of his readers; ho puts
them through their paces; he calls attention
to their points with tbe pride and skill of a
veteran jockey; be marshals them in long
procession, and his catalogue of tbe horses
eclipses tbe catalogue of the ships.
In one respeot this devotion to driving is
well enough. At toast it brings people into
the open air, and gives them a certain amount
of exercise, with just that dash of excite
ment which Americans must have to make
recreation palatable. But it is to be regretted
that it is tending to degrade the horse from
bis finest purpose, and to make the witchery
of noble horsemanship a lost art among our
people. Considering the many attractions
of riding, not to peak of its healthfulness,
it is bard to understand its disuse. A cauter
through the bridle path of the Contral Park
on one of these glorious October mornings,
which are a perpetual contradiction to the
libel of the poet, is a pleasure sufficient to
transfigure and brighten a whole day of toil
a delight and a memory forever. No exer
cise is u ure invigorating than this; no amuse
ment Las more fascination for those who have
learned to appreciate it. A good rider of
either Eex nowhere appears to bettor advan
tage than in the saedle, and even an awk
ward person may be mode to seem 'graceful
by the skilful 'handling of a spirited steed.
It is an accomplishment easy of waVery to
all, asking only practice and patience for its
thorough acquisition. Yet with- all these
arguments of pleasure, healthfulness, facility,
and even vanity, to plead for it, equestrian
ism is, in this part of the country at least,
the science of the few. As a social fact,
as an element of social enjoyment, we
may safely say it is generally ignored.
Four and Bix-in-hands, with flaming har
ness and (flaunting liveries, fill the
roads and monopolize the devotion of our
sportsmen, while spur and saddle are curiosi
ties in the shop windows. Even in the rural
districts riding is but little moro in vogue
than in the cities. An American farmer
never walks out to traverse a distance of only
a mile; it is the buggy that is "hitched up,
and not the horse tbat is saddled. It was this
fact which gave to the Southern cavalry so
decided a superiority in the late war, and so
far as the Kerth is concerned, will always
leave our armies deficient in this branch of
the service.
For this reason, the establishment of
racing-paiks throughout the country, since
they tend to give an impulse to equestrian
ism, is deserving of all encouragement. Al
ready in the near vicinity of New Y'ork we
have four Jerome, Prospect, and Monmouth
Parks, and the tract at Saratoga. Their
management since their opening has been in
all respects creditable, and they mast exert
a favorable influence on the future of the
American running horse. It ia only another
Eroof of our abj ect worship of utility that we
ave so long cherished tho trotting horse to
the detriment of his nobler brother. Ia this,
as in other things, we are learning that grace
and beauty also have their uses.
