Little changes, the naturaleluartges of time,
have come upon the ever 7 ch'iir l ming: circle of
Arthur Helps's marionettea—qdr figures
through which he enunciatei his wisdom in
its various attributes.. Since we used to
mingle at those lively reunions of "Friends in .
Centel)," our fair friends Blanche and Mil
dred have get to ; be settled, but still piquant,
lieuiewiVes. The latter has become the legal
tender of Ellesmere, the wit, who foesome of
his sine '{perhaps his essay on Seif-Advance -
;ment), has had a promotion, and figures nbw
as Sir John. The good clergyman Dunsford,
;w do and to report the meetings of the, sym
posium, has gone to the reward of
*the 'just and gentle; his place is filled by
kr.. Johnson, or Sawney, a youth from Scot
land who, having had a love affair, is sup
posed to be an experienced and trustworthy
fellow; be reports the long conversations with
much care anti unction. Besides these, a
few of the minor characters are absolutely
frealwsuch as Cranmer, obtuse and practical,
an official in the Treasury; Mauleverer, de
terminedly, 'hopelessly and officially melan
choly—a modern Jacques without his charm
of craziness; and Sir Arthur Godolphin, a
worn man of office, who opens the first con
versation with such an admirable story about
the island where the shopkeepers sold Sleep.
When these excellent representative puppets
are for the first time gathered together in the
summer-house at Worth-Ashton, on the
grounds of Milverton,a little preliminary skir
mishing takes place between the marionettes;
following . Sir Arthur's sleep-story Ellesmere,
is made to invent a slight Arabian tale about
women; after:which, by a simple arrange
ment, the Queen's Clerk of Privy Council in_
troduces the chapters of his fable "Raalmah,"
a story of the Lacustrine settlements in which
he finds it possible to embody plenty of poli
tical satires, appropriate to our times, yet de
prived of their dangerousness by being rele
gated to the age of the Lake Bronze period,
before the civilization of Europe. These
chapters, in fact, are his nucleus, embody his
Most serious views, and their title is the title
of the book; but they occupy a comparatively
small number of the pages of "Realmah, •
'which are generally taken up with that sug
gestive persiflage of which the author is the
most graceful master living.
We will not give much of a synopsis of
"Realm*" what will strike the American
reader is Its radical difference from what we
see in American Indian manners. Ode of
our own authors, we mean, if he had taken
up the idea of writing a story about pre-his
toric man, would have argued from the habits
of the red tribes, which furnish the best ex
tant example of an aboriginal people carrying
out their lives under the eyes of a race ad_
vanced in civilization. Mr. Helps is too in
telligent to fall into this error; between hi s
Realmah and Longfellow's Hiawatha
there is all the difference that
exists between the primitive European
and the wild American. Mr. Helps's
brown man is no nomad, he is anchored to
his lake ; he is, in little, a European ; he
comprehends the importance of centraliza
tion ; he arranges for his village of pile-borne
huts a polity not dissimilar to that of Venice.
Reaimah,lame,weak,wise,ambitious.just and
egoistic, is a type of what each European
state imagines for its ideal ruler,—the self-
Seeking spirit, too elevated to injure another
needlessly, passing its existence in concealing
the weakness of its forces. in grounding its
influence and planting a in making
the most of its imperfections, and advancing
its race in advancing itself.
After, all, however, the study of Realm ah
is not a success; to have made it one, that is
to have given it verisimilitude, would not
have been worth the pains. Mr. Helps may
be content to bear the complimentary cen
sure visited upon all the great fabulists, that
their auimals talk what is in the mind of the
writer; or that of his own wisest puppet,Elles
mere, when the latter says in Johnsonian
ac
cents, "No; but Ilealmalr, I contend, is an
official man of the nineteenth century.—We
are not here to listen to the obscure battles of
the Sheviri and the Pheletahs, and their iith
fahs, and Realmabs, but we are listening to
the political notions of a man who is contem
plating the present state of Earope and
America."
Another delightful exception we must take
is to Mr. Ilelps's delineation of the modern
personages—his circle of marionettes. They
are invariably, impossibly good—the differ
ences of character that give them pteprancy
are but phases of goodness. Here we have a
society formed of politicians, and embracing
a great solicitor, a diplomat or two, a royal
commissioner,etc.,and they are all unworldly
rind sage to a degree you could hardly match
in a monastery of recluses. The solicitor has
been dragged, of course, through all kinds of
the dirtiest cases, yet he cornea out fresh and
unwithered, with his easy faculty of satire
saved for the defence of what is noble and
the confusion of what is false. Ilaule,verer
and bir Arthur are saddened by the contem
plation of the world's hageness,not their own.
Cis/rimer, who, however, is only a bolster
set up for Ellesmere to box with, is an incor
ruptible officer of the Treasury. Milvertou,
the highest in political position, is the most
speculative and dreamy in . his theory of virtue
and arrangement of milleniums. Is this any
picture of a contemporary group of public
servants? Is it not rather the unworldly
Conn 'introduced by Shakespeare among the
Waving shadows of Arden? Which is the
truest, and therefore after all the healthiest,
tablefin of modern diplomacy, the type. of
Milverton and'his circle of speculative phi
losophers, or the type of Lord Culduir and
his set in-the latest novel of Lever's?
We are very well aware that these excep
tions, which sound like objections, are the
charm and value of the book. If "Realmah"
were a study in archmoloby, its savage poli
ties would khow fewer lessons to. our own.
If the Participants in these conversations
were rut. held iu their babe-like and impos
sible purity, they would not talk that delight
ful ultra- Platonism which everybody wants
to hear. The finished grace and polish, and
the subtile wisdom, 01 the author of 'Triends
in . Council," are what we look for, 'and what
wefted admirably kept up, in Mr. Helps's
latest phliosephical work. •

fect random, home of the scintillations of ea--
vanity with which the volume is filled.

Men and Gentlemen.
[From the Saturday Review.]
We have no doubt that we have, some
time or other before now,commented on the
marked. differences between our own habits
and those of the ancient commonwealths
with regard to the ways of describing and ad
dressing particular persons. It comes briefly
to this, that we cannot, except in the famili
arity of private intercourse, speak of a man
without using some sort of title, be it Lord,
Sir, or plain Mr.,while a Greek or a Roman
was simply calle d his name. Closely con
nected with this is the difference in the way
of addressing bodies of, men, and in speaking
of persons when the Mime is not mentioned.
A. Greek addressed his hearers as "Men"—
Andres. To this he might add any qualifi
cation of nationality or office that might be
needed; they might be Men of Athens, Men
and Judges, or, as in the New Testament,
Men, ,Brethren, and Fathers, bnt "Men" is
the universal address whatever qualification
may be acided. Roman usage in
this, as in the case of proper names,
came one degree nearer to modern usage.
Pericles could be called nothing but Pericles,
whoever it was that spoke to or of him. But
Caesar might be called Caius, Julius, or
Caesar, and Calm, Julius, and Caesar were
each proper ways to speak to or of him, ac
cording to the time, the place, and the person
speaking. So a Reiman orator never ad
dresses his hearers as "Men;" the formula is
never "ITiri," either alone or joined, like
andres, with anything else. - Romans are
addressed as "Quirites, ' "Judices," "Corn
militones," "Paves Conscripti," never as
"Yin." This is quite in conformity with the
far higher regard paid at Home as compared
with Athens to rank and office of every kind.
In the Athenian form of address the common
humanity (tithe speaker and his hearers is
the thing w is put most prominently
Jorwarci; the official deseriptiou is something
secondary. In the lt ynau form of address
the official descridtion is everything,
and the common. humanity is not
put forward at alt. Tius is not
exactly the same as the modern style of Ed
dress, but we feel th , :t we arc one step nearer
to it than we were among the (;reeks. There
is no word in Latiu,any more Lean in (reek,
which exactly translates the word "gentle
man"; but we feel that when the official de
scription; the complimentary description, is
the one which is mainly dwelt upon, we ate
on the road to the state of things in which
the gentleman displaces the man. There is
certainly something very odd in the custom
which, among all our most modern European
nations,requires an assembly to be addressed,
and in many casesan individual to bespoken
of, by some purely complimentary title.
"Gentleman," "Monsieur," "Herr," are
words which must, even in the most snap
propriate appliestious. be ever on the lips of
a speaker in any of the three chief European
tongues. Nay the orators wao,at the present
day, can still employ the speech of Demos
thenes, address a modern A.thenia.n audience,
no longer as andred : but as karioi. The En
glish expressions, if osae, comes to think of
it, is the oddest of tine f mr. "Monsieur,"
"Herr," /curios, are instances of the custom,
borrowed most likely from the East,by which
it is thought courteous for the speaker to talk
of himself as a servant, and of the parson to
whom be speaks as his lord. In English the
word "lord" has gained a more definite politi
cal sense than the words which. answer to it
in other languages. No assembly, therefore,
is addressed as "My Lords," except the as
suably to which the title belongs as a matter
of strict political tight. Yet the old form of
address, "My masters,"is a translation almost
as literal of "Messieurs" and "Maine Herren."
Modern English usage, however, requires that
neatly every kind et' assembly which is ad
dressed directly—for the House of Commons is
addressed Indirectly- should be addressed by a
title which properly speaking, the descrip
tion of a particular class of society to which,
in boa cases, the mass of the assembly do
not really belong. To address a mixed as
sembly as "gentlemen, "is in itself as absurd
as to address them as knights, earls and
I princes; it is far more absurd than the con
ventional self-abasement of addressing them
as' "Masters" or llessieuri." But usage
calls for it, and it is not difficult to see tae
origin of this usage and of several usages
closely connected with it.
We will not go about to undertake any task
so perilous as that of defining a gentleman.
Perhaps, speaking roughly, .it may be under
stood to mean that a man holds a certain po
sition in society, and that he at the , same
time behaves as a man holding that position
in society ought to behave.: Tuts last qualifi
cation, or something like it, is certainly Im
plied in the modern use of the word. But it
is very remarkable that it should be so. In
itself the word "Gentleman" simply implies
a certain rank, just as the word "Nobleman"
implieS a certain high rank. But the word
"Nobleman" is applied to a man quite irre
spectively of his character. If the conduct of
a nobleman be in any marked way' ignoble,
the contrast between name and nature may
add point to a sarcasm, but the fact
that he is a nobleman is hot denied.
But if the conduct of a mse in the
rank of a gentleman is unworthy of his
rank, we do not scruple to say expressly that

And'im assembly of tinkera,kvOnld certainly
expect to be addressed, not as "Tinkers," brit
as "Gentlemen:" and' there' - are cases in
which it would be expedient to apply_ the
words "this gentleman" even to the individual
tinker..
There is something odd about this, some
thing even more ,odd thin those usages in
other tongues by which some extravagant
title, Excellency or the like, is lavished upon
everybody. In itself to say that a man is not
a gentleman is simply to'state the fact that ho
does not belong to a certain rank in society',
just like saying that he is not a nobleman.
No one counts it as an insult to be told that he
is not a nobleman, or rather the remark
would be so wholly void of point that no one
would make it byway of an insult. Yet, as
we have seen, it is felt as an insult by a man
of any rank to be told that he is not a gentle
man. This shoWs that the word "gen
tleman" has gained a secondary meaning.
And the fact that it should have ac
quired such a secondary meaning may
perhaps be explained by the general
facts of English history. 'ln Eng
land the rank of gentleman was social and
conventional, not legal; it was an affair
for the herald and not tor the lawyer. Deeply
aristocratic as have been many of our cus
toms and some of our statutes, the Common
Law of England has ever been democratic.
As Hallam says, "it has never recognized
gentlemen." There are only two orders of
Englishmen, the Peer and the Commoner; a
Nobility, in the Continental sense of the
word,we never had. Whatever might be the
fancies of heralds, there was never at any
time in England the same barrier between
class and class which in France distinguilhei
the "gentilhomme" from the "roturier."
And for the cause of this, as of every other
fact in our history, we must go back to
the earliest time. When the hereditary
nobility of the Earls, in whatever
that nobility consisted, gave way to
the official nobility of the Theg ne, the thing
was done, once and forever. Tae Ceorl had
always the chance of becoming a Theo, and
he has kept it ever since. The backward
change which happened in Normandy and
other continental countries never happened
in England; possibly the Norman conquest
itself did something to hinder it from happen
ing. The shuffle of landed property which
followed on the Conquest—which rather per
haps was the Conquest—the conliscations,the
grants, the exchanges, undoubtedly placed a
powerful aristocracy of foreign birth in the
highest rank of all. But in the secondary
classes the smaller landowners, the
burghers, the inferior clergy, they had the
effect of jumbling together people of all kinds
of origins, noble and ignoble, native and
foreign. The fact has prob ably had a
good deal to do with hindering the
formation of any such impossible barrier as
separated the "gentilhomme" from the "ro
tnrier" in France. The law never drew any
marked distinction between the gentleman
and the ordinary freeholder. As the gentle
man had no legal privilege, there was noth
ing to , hinder a man of one class froth rising
gradually into the other. We remember be
ing struck years ago with the gradual rise of
a Northamptonshire family in the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries. The parish church
contains the tombs of four generations, des
cribed in order of succession as "Mercator,"
"Generosus " "Armiger" and "Miles." The
family is t hat of Andrews, of Charwelton,one
of whose members had the honor or dis
honor of attending as Sheriff of his county at
the beheading of Queen Mary Stuart.
All this has probably something to do with
our English laxity in the use of the word
"gentleman." It is an insult to refuse to a
man in any pointed way, a title to which he
may not have attained, but to which he con
ceivably may attain. It is an insult to refuse
to him a title to which we may fancy that be
has no claim, but to which he may himself
fancy that he has a claim. It would be ab
surd to call a man aDuke who is not a Duke,
because the rank of Duke is strictly defined,
and there is no doubt who are Dukes and
who are not. But the rank of gentleman is
not defined, and where the thing is possibly
douhtful,each man takes to himself the bme
fat of the doubt. We, therefore, when people
are to be pleased, especially when votes are
to be gained by it, not only distinctly refuse
the tide of gentleman to no man, but even
directly allow it to men of all contlitoms.
But from this there has come a curious re
action. It is said that in some parts of Ame
rica the word "gentleman" is so universally
applied to everybody that the wool "man"
is beginning to have the distinctive sense of
"gentleman." And something like this may
be seen among ourselves. Men who have an
undoubted right to the title of gentlemen Bel
dommpply the word to one another. If an
undoubted gentleman uses the word "gentle
man" of one of his own class, it is most com
monly by way of special praise or blame, by
way of asserting or denying that he is a gen
tleman in the highest sense. Otherwise, in
speaking simply of A or B, he will commonly
nee the word "man." But the moment he
gets among people of a somewhat lower
grade than himself he is forced to h Lye the
word "gentleman" every moment on his lips.
He uses it if he speaks to an interior of one t f
bis own rank; he applies it to all those amen;
his inferiors to whom he wishes to b e civil.
In short, to speak of a man as a gentleman
is speedily becoming a sign that you really
hold hat the person to whom or of whom
you are speaking is not a gentlemtn.
Changes in Dramatic Taste in Franco.
An English paper says :
"One of the shrewdest and mos; discerning
of French dramatic critics, in roticingti
operetta recently produced at tie Athenee
Theatre, in Paris, and entitled ne Horrors
cf War, takes occasion to mark the decay of
military spirit among the playgling-public.
Under the Restoration the favcrite hero of
half the most successful sentimental comedies
was a colonel of twenty or a general of thirty
a survivor of the great liapoleoac victorie:=
and disasters; or a veteran of Ilk, who had
lost a limb or two and gained tie cross of
honor in the campaigns of the Republic and
the Empire, and who in retreat, and almost
in disgrace, was surrounded by romance, with
the double halo 9f the glory and the misfor
tunes of his country.
"To the present generation of Prenchmen
the 'Epic of the Empire' represents fifteen
years of horrible carnage; to their fathers it
was a legend of giants and of gigantic deeds.
Liberal France of fifty years since, in its ha
tred of the dynasty which had returned in the
baggage-wagons of the Army of Occupation,
and brought back in its train a host of inso
lent emigres of the old regime and of reac
tionary priests, became Bonapartist3,while the
Bonapartists became republican; and this dis
astrous Alliance was renewed under the Mon
archy of July. Scribe's young colonels were
still the heroes of the stage; irresistible in
love as in war. Once,
and only once,
Scribe, sick perhaps of his own puppets,
ventured to turn into ridicule the mili
tary mania which made every idle fellow
fancy himself a soldier in disguise, and give
himeeltthe airs of one. He wrote a little
piece in which an old soldier affects to mis
take a shopman for a lieutenant- Every
shopman In Paris resented this insult; they
fairly hissed the piece down, and Scribe had'
to apologize. Three years ago a once favo

pire-the military . hero is only tolerated on the
Parisian stage in the shape of a dreary old
fogy, or of aEobadil of, burlesque, such as
the' famous _General Banta = 'the *Grand
Duchesse de Ge'rolstein.' Even the theatrical
representatives of the Italian and the Chinese
wars were miserable failures.
"To do the Second Empire justice, it has
nearly succeeded in destroying the legend of
the first, and in reducing military enthusiasm
to absurdity. Something of this most desira
ble change in French sentiment may no
doubt be attributed to the general progress of
pacific ideas and pacific interests which an
industrial civilization encourages and devel
opus more and more every succeeding year.
Those admirable stories of the revolutionary
and imperial wars by thetwo Alsatian fellow
workers, MM. Erckmann-Chatrian. have
made familiar among their fellow-country
men what may be called the seamy side of
the potep and glory of war— the
miseries which war carries in its
train rand casts along its fiery path, and
the more poignant because more silent
miseries which it leaves behind in thousands
of village homes, among the weak and aged
victims of the conscription, the widoara and
the orphans of the uoreturning heroes. 'Da
you know,' says the Grand Duke, in the
operetta which has suggested these remarks,
just after be has declared war against his
neighbor—'Do you know,' says he to one of
his soldiers, 'what will come of it all ?"No,
Prince,' replies the soldier. 'To me,' rejoins
the Grand Duke, 'the most agreeable of' vic
tories; to you, the most obscure of deaths.'
It would be difficult to epitomize more neatly
the sum and substance of those 'big wars
that make ambition virtpe.' "

THE Ledger's Washington correspondent tele
graphs: "it is probable the President will send
to the Senate to-morrow a communication in
response to the resolution askine for a copy of
the late Amnesty Proclamation, and authority for
issuing the same. Without attempting to give
the substance of the President's response, it may
be stated that the authority for the proclamation
is claimed to be derived directly from the Consti
tution, and that the precedents therefore are
ample, and go back as far as the earliest days of
the republic, when Washington granted pardon
and amnesty to the whisky insurrectionists in
Pennsylvania."

A leg of mutton tendered by keeping and
cooked to a turn has a charm , that is irresistible.
There are those who find it full of gaiety eaten
cold next day. But after this considered by it
self, it sinks beneath attention. It mast be
dressed over again.
In such a case the following recipe is not out
of the way.
Mutton hash it la pagsanne. Mince the cold
mutton; mince likewise a little ham; cook the
latter in a saucepan at a very gentle tire; moisten
with soup•stock; lei and when Lhe sauce
has taken some consistenee add a pinch' of pep
per; then warm in the saucepan, without letting
it boil, the hash of mutton, which must be served
hot.—Petit Journal.

The . .Washington correspondent of • the
Chicago Tribune says: James Mason will
have a hard road to travel if he returns. . He
commissioned the pirates that preyed on our
commerce, and many-banded revenge will
follow him speedily. He would have to hie
him to farming, like Robert Bunter, and
shut up his ponderous jaw, subdue his porn
pous stride tcrthe dimensions of a plow fur
row, and, at last, utter with Wolsey, the
cry of
"Had I but served my God with half the zeal
I aped the King, Ho would not iu mine age
Have left me naked."
JelL Davis is not in good health, not in
luck, without any future. These men,Davis
amongst them, will find sympathy m the
South• to mean anything but money. The
Baltimore and rebel people are heartily tired
of setting up. Joe Johntson,who behaves' with
their patronage like Claude Melnotte with the
gold snuff box of Ins friends, now fizzing out
of anexpress company, now banarupting a
life insurance house, always befriended, yet
never earning his soup. Beauregard is in
similar helplessness. The Southern • people
can not help therinelves, and the rebellion is
too old a martyrdom to raise ten-penny col
lections for it. The whole Democratic party
of the North has had but ono Vallandigham
fund. Davis will, probably, pair no atten
tion to his pardon. • While the head of the
rebellion, and, therefore, deserving of all re
probation, there was, probably, as little of
the onea about:Davis as about any roan in
_
the South. Panne sentiment there is !Ault

to me,,:enme thne,Ag9: • ; •
"I" belong to that small, but 'no* growing,'
!way of men *ho'adhere to Davit! wagitinst
the sentiment,of theNirgleins, - . He was the
safest man for us—being in the 'war-because '
he was bold and never irresolute.- Stephens
was a halfhearted Mau, whether Unionist or
Confedefate. His presence in the Govern
ment was an element of weakness,And the
party that rallied' around hitn lost heart in
the first' year °fibs war. 'His 'slavery the
cornerstone'-' speech alienated all foreign
sy my athy. When DlO3 proposed to recover
this foreign sympathy by manumitting and
arming "tae negroes, Stephens, Joe Brown
and the other Georgians protested that theY
would leave the Confederacy if' their negroes
were taken. Davis steed up for the new na
tionality, nnd was prepared to sacrifice any
thing, slavery included, to gain it. Stephens
occupied the narrow_ position of a man who
would light for his parse, but never for his
pride.
"No, sir!" concluded my, informant, a for
mer chief of staff of two prominent rebel
generals, "I know that you Northern men
hold Davis to represent the entire enormity
of the war vicariously, and he will be the last
man to whom you will do justice. Bat he
was always personally gentle, temperate, even
clement, only full of will and a rebel without
hypocrisy. Stephen!) is a little manhood,
small in moral courage, and just the sort of
man after-the truce to do your government
more harm than ten Devises. Jeff. Davis,
pardoned, would be too proud to say a word.
Alexander Stephens would whine, and gabble
and make new disaffection for men like Davis
to meet with their lives some day."
A Revelation of Cruelty.

Star writes:
"A curious trial has taken place at Bor
deaux. As you are aware, the education, of
the rising generation is either in the hands of
government or those of the Jesuit fathers.
Flogging in public colleges, private schools,
or any educational establishment is contrary
to law. The reverend fathers of the Order of
Jesus direct the Ecole de Tivoli. A lady
called to see her son a fortnight since. She
was told he was en retraite for bad conduct.•
Much grieved, the lady went home, to re
turn the next day, When she was refused ad
mittance on a similar plea. A third time the
mother returned, but on this occasion accom
panied by a friend. The same _reply to her
Inquiries was made as on the preceding oc
casions. 'I am a magistrate,' remarked the
gentleman, and in the name of the law I re--
quire to see youa Begeral.' The argument
was unanswerable. They were taken to the
infirmary, where the - boy, black with bruises,
and his back covered with weals, was in
bed. "
"The trial gives the most curious insight
into methods of persuasion used by the Jesuit
fathers. The boy had been Imprisoned in a
lack hoie,where was neither seat nor furni
ture of any kind, except one single utensil;
the floor of bitumen. At ten o'clock at night
Father Commit() entered, cat-o'-nine-tails in
hand; and beat the boy t 11, exasperated with
pain, he escaped by the open door to the dor
mitory; there a couple of gentle fathers
caught him, and whilst one held his hand
over his mouth to prevent his screams being
heard, the other pushed him on a bed further
to stifle his cries,whilst Father Commire con
tinued his interrupted avocation—which
amusement has cost them twelve pounds,and
the loss of that boy, and it is to be hoped of
r;very pupil in their establishment.
Home Politeness.
Should an acquaintance tread on your
dress, your best, your very best, and by acci
dent tear it, how profuse your "never minds
—don't think of it—l don't care at all." If a
husband does it he gets a frown; if a child, he
is chastised.
Ah: these are little things, say you! They
tell mightily on the heart, let us assure you,
little as they are.
A gentleman stops at a friend's house, and
finds it in confusion. 'Ale don't see anything
to; apologize for—never tlibki of such mat
ters everything is all right," cold supper,
cold room, crying children, "perfectly com
fortable."
He goes borne, his wife has been taking
care of the sick ones, and worked her life al
most out. "Don't see why things can't be
in better order, them never was such cross
children before. - No apologies except away
from borne.
Why not be polite at home? Why not use
freely the golden coin of courtesy? How
sweet they sound, those little words, "I
thank you," or "you are very kind." Doubly,
yes, trebly sweet from the lips we love, when
heart-smiles make the eye sparkle with the
clear light of affection.
Be polite to your children. Do you expect
them to be mindful of your welfare, to grow
glad at your approach, to bound away to
your pleasure before your request is half
spoken? Then, with all your dignity and
authority mingle politeness. Give it a niche
in your household temple. Only then will
yon have the true secret of sending out into
the world really finished gentlemen and
ladies.
From our Late Editions of Yesterday
From Chicago,
Ctircnoo, Jan. 6.—ln the Chancery branch of
the Supreme Court, a case was decided yesterday
by Judge Jameson, affecting rival telegraph
companies. The Western Union and Pacific and
Atlantic Companies use the poles originally
erected by the Great Eastern Railroad Company.
The Western Union Company obtained the
right to use the poles, and moved in Court for an
order to tear down the wires of the rival com
pany, but the Court decided that it was only a
personal quarrel, and no injury would accrue to
either company if the injunction was dissolved.
