SLOVENLY AMKKtCANH." A Vomu'i Defen of the HablU of Foreign Hnebnnda. Tho wish of Robert Burns that some power would "tlie gtf lie gto us to eoo 1 oursels aa ltliora sea us" has often carved its a text on which to build up troll moaning homilies, and jot, in sjilto of It, tho best of us are too apt to crltl clsa not ourtolres, but tho othor follow. In a recent, number of the Cosmojwll tan a writer who elects to bo known ns "Julien Gordon" (nnd n woman, by the way) thinks, with Darns, that If tlio leus Of criticism should bo liireisoJ, tho focus shortened nnd turned upon our selves, instead of upon foreigners, our fcnow odgo of self Bright be very consid erably Improved. Her contention is that tho mnlo Amcrl can is lamentably untidy when compared with the averago Englishman; tlmt spot ted clothes, uubrushod shoulders, frowsy hair, and frayed thirt cuili nro not un common on many of the trains md fer ries that carry American crowds to'lho cities of a morning, and that the condi tion of things is worso when U1030 "herds" (to uso her own simile) return ct 5 o'clock, after tho struggle of tho day. Tho general principle which the lays down, that taste in drees and tho art of selecting tho right thing fur tho right occasion lead us one step higher, nay be admitted; but the sweeping nnd unjust character of llio charges of sloven liness which she makes' shows a preju dice that lessens tho value of many of her criticisms, Tliero is no man moro careful of the proprieties than an Amer ican gentleman; and that type of mau hood is to be found in all classes. The sight of "a depressed collar and n soiled cravat" in tho lato afternoon is in tho eyes of this female critio simply revolt ing; but it does not argue a want xtl cleanliness. Tho toll that is nocossary to pay milliners' and dressmakeiB' bills is not favorable to the constant posses sion of an immacuiate shirt front or n glossy collar; and until invention shall have mads it possible for the busy American to carry n bathtub and a change of liuen in a handbag it is to lc feared that.Julien Gordon will continua to bo shocked by the somewhat forlorn appearance of many of her countrymen. .In referring to the tirades agaiust the American woiuau's predilection for for eign lovers and husbands, our critic says! "Proy, remember, my indlguuut gentlemen, that feminine creatures are always allured by externals. Tho mnlo bird found it out long ago, if you did not." And then she launches forth in p'raise of the dude. Sho asserts that ho lias helped to encourage outdoor life among us, and that, over and beyond this, ho keeps himself clean; that for this women llko liltn. And so thoy should, and so they will continue to do. There Is, of course, no accounting for tastes, as tho Irishman said when his wifo kissed tho cow; but tho assertion may bo ventured that neither tho Eng lish lord whose trousers bag at the knees, nor the male caryatid whoso ideas of outdoor llfo nro confined to posing on the steps of a club house or opposite tho entrance to a theater, will ever to tho mind of a true American woman dis place tho manly worker, even though he wear a "depressed collar and a suited cruvnt.

A mieUtnne Foot! a Where Be Ilea Vnt It Tear llerore, Abraham Lincoln was pjrhsrw the boat man in the country in his day to remember men and to placo them with out hesitation in the environment whero be last saw thorn, says tho Chicago Herald. When ho was a comparatively young man ami n candidate for tho Illinois legislature he took dinner with n Sanga mon county farmer, and after tho meal tho two stood at the barnyard gate talk ing and whittling. Lincoln's kuifo needed sharpening and tho Ynukco in him prompted him to sharpen lb lie walked to a tool box tho farmer had hailed just inside the w 03011 shed, took fiom it u whetstone, and cams back to the great gate, where ho stood again and began sharpening his knife. O110 post ot tho gate was very high,aud nrod from tho top supported tho extended weight of tho gato. A man came along tho road in a wagon, going iu tho direction Lincoln wanted to travel, and ho bade his host good bye and clambered in the vehlclo intent, no doubt, on getting another vote. Years afterward, when ho was Presi dent, a soldier came to call upon him at the wlilto House, nnd at tho first sight the gaunt chief ov.cutlvo said; Yes, 1 remember you. You usod to llvo on the Daiivlllo road. I took dinner with you ouo timo whon I was running for tho legislature. Recollect wo stood together out at tho barnyard gato and I sharpened my kuifo'C" Ya-as, drawled tho farmer soldier, "and wherever did you put that whot- stone? I looked tho wholo place over a dozeu times, but I never could find it after tho day you used it Wo 'lowed uiebby you had took It along with you, " No, said Lincoln, looking serious as it the matter were as important ns the recent detent of Pcmberton, "no, I put it on top of that gato post tho hlh one." "Weill" exclaimed the visitor, roobby you did, Couldn't nobody else have put it tliero and uono ot us over thought to look there lor it Ue went on home, and when 110 cot thcro one of tho first things he did was to climb up on the gato and look for tho whetstone. It was there, right whero It had lain for IS years. 'Ihe houeat fellow, adoriug his chief, wrote n letter beforo his furlough expired telling the President the whetstone was found ami would never be lost again. X.ord Tennjeon'i Mew I'oem.

Tho bit U)i' sworo to tlio stntemcut that he hnd known tho claimant 10 years, nnd that "ho would not work iinlusn ho was com pelled to." Tho witness uFoourse meant to tny that clnimimt. wliile really unable to work by reason if his phyxical iuiu milies, was frequently compelled to ut tempt labor in or.lcr to sustain himself. Tlio widow of a man who shouldered a niiwdcet iu the P, nnsrlvauia Reserves nanifd a pension, nnil wni asked if Lor husband was ever wounded. "Oh, ye," sbu replied, "iio received an nxe wniiid of tho right foot. " Being asked to explain tho circum stances turrotinding tho woundiug of her belter half, she said ho cut his foot wliilo splitting wood. It was not during tho war IliU occurred, but iu 1870, at their home iu Pennsylvania. Tlio pen sion attorney wanted to know what beaiiug such an rccuircnco could havo upon the pension l.nv, and tho widow unswered curtly: "Well, sir, tlio nro Iiecnt his foot with is tho same one lie bi ought homo with him from tho war. It was nu army axe. " A rather remarkable declaration was nmdo by n Michigan veteran. Ho stated under oath Hint ho picked up a shell on tho battlefield of tho Wilderness nnd took it into hi3 tent. Wlilto holding the missilo between his knee.) cxniitiuing it, tho shell exploded, "badly shattering Ids nervouj system, " but miraculously caus ing uo other injury. An ex-cannoneer of one of the regular batlories claims that ho stopped a can non ball with bis abdomen, nud lias silica been greatly troubled with stom achic disorders. Tlio ball, ho Bays, was a spent one, and canio bounding along, striking him squarely ou tho exterior of tlio inner man and nearly knocking him into tho middle of the follow ii g week. O.io Gioranna, a niemb.'r i f tho well known Garibaldi Guard, lecite-s iu his application for pension that lie was "probed" by n retal bayonet at the Bull Run light, and n JersdV cavalryman says lie was "severed by rt reLel saner nt Spottsylvauia Court House.

Not in ino least, your lonlMlilp," wn tho nn r.wer, "provided thoy turn out their toes.
