familiarities,’andon equivoque of two, more ctr
less “risky.” With some,: flirting is nothing
but the passing fun of the moment; with others,
it is the first lesson in the great unopened book,
and meansthe beginning of tlie end; with
some, it is not even angling with intent; with
others, it is deep-sea fishing with a broad,
boklly-made net, and taking all fish that come
in as good for sport if not for food.
Flirts are of many kinds, as well as of all
degrees. There are quiet flirts and demonsti;a
tive fliids; flii-ts’of the subtle' sort whose prac
tice is made by the eves alone, by tlie manner,
by the tender, little' sigh, by the bend of - tlie
head; and the wave of the hand, to giVO pathos
add, point to the .Otherwise harmless wbril; and
flirts, of the open arid rampant .kind, who go up
quite boldly to - the point, but who. never
reach it, taking care -to draw back iri time
before they really cross the border. This is the
kind which, as the flirt riiale, does incalculable
damage to the poor little fluttering doves to.
whom it is a bird of prey, handsome, bold and
cruel; but this is the kind which has unlimited
success, rising, as it does that immense moral
leverage we call “tantalizing,” for ever rousing,
hopes and exciting expectations, and luring on;
aslan Ignis fiit-ma'- lures', one on across the;
marsh, in the vain belief that it will bring us
to our haven at last. Then there is the race of
male flirts great in , the .way in which they
manage to insinuate things without com
mitting themselves to positive statetnents.
They generally contrive to give the impression
of some mysterious hindrance by which they
are held hack from full and frank confession.
They hint at fatal bonds,,at. unfortunate at
taclimeritspat a past that lias burned them up
or withered them up, at any rate that has pre
vented their future from blossoming in the direc
tion in which they would fain have hail it blos
som and hear fruit. They sketch out very
vaguely tlie outlines of some thrilling romance;
a few, of the Byronic breed, add the srispicion
of some dark and melancholy, crime as ai'urther
enhancement; and when they have got the
girl’s pity and the love that is akin to pityf then
they ..-.cool down scientifically, never creating
any scandal, never making any rupture,' never
coining to a moment when awkward explana
tious.v-can be asked, but cooling nevertheless,
till tlie. tiring drops of its own accord, dies out
from inanition, and they are free to carry their
sorrows and.then- mysteries elsewhere. Some
men spend tlieir lives in this kind of tiring, and
find their ’pleasure in making all the nice wo
men they know madly or sentimentally in love
with them; and if by chance any poor moth
who has binned her wings makes too loud au
outcry, the tables are tiuned against her dex
terously, and she is held up to public pity
contempt would be a better word—as one
who has suffered lierselt to love too w ell
and by no means wisely, and who has
ran after a Lothario who would not let
himself be caught. « Then there are certain
men who flirt only with married women,
and others who flirt only with girls; and tlie
two pastimes are as different as tropical sun
light and our-northern moonshine; and there
are some who are “brothers,” and some who
are “fathers” to their young friends—suspicious
fathers on the whole, not unlike Little Red
Ridingliood’s grandmother, the woll, with
perilously bright eyes, and .not a little danger
to Red Ridingliooil in the relationship, how
delightful soever it may be to the wolf. Some
are content with cousinslrip only—which, how
ever, breaks down quite sufficient fences —anil
some are “dearest friends,” no more, anil And
that an exceedingly useful centre from which to
i work onward and outward. For, if anything
will do on which to hang a discourse, so will
any relationship or adoption serve the ends of
I flirting, if it be so willed.
But what is flirting? Is sitting away in -cor
nels, talking in low voices, and looking per
sonally affronted if any unlucky outsider comes
within earshot, fluting? Not necessarily. It
is just possible that Henry may be telling An
gelina all about bis admiration for her sister-
Grace, or Angelina may be confessing to Henry
what Charley said to her last night, which
makes her lower her eyes as she is doing now,
and play with tlie fringe of her fan so ner
vouslv. May he, if not likely. So that sitting
away'in corners and whispering together is not
necessarily flirting, though it may look like it.
Is dancing all tlie “round” dances together?
This goes for decided flirting iri the code of the
ball-room. But if tlie two keep well together?
If they are really fond of dancing,
as one of- the fine arts combining
i science and enjoyment, they would dance
with each other all night, though outside the
“marble balls” they might be deadly enemies—

■ oftener than is absolutely necessary is unmis
i takeable evidence, any more than sitting away
in comers, seeing that equal skill and keeping
well in step are reasons enough for perpetual
partnership, making all idea ol flirtation • un

lathe year 1850, Richard 'Vyhgnbr,
thereto by “a desire to piarify 'tlie' realia- .bf
Jtuusical art,” contributed an .article to' ‘the
, -STeue Zeitschrift fur Muslk, which created not
' a little excitement hi German art-circles. It
Stitts entitled “Judaism in ’Music,” and labored
' Itvjprove that the Jew is, ,-by-' nature, , 'iraflt,' t 0
ytsproiuce that which is truly'great in -art. De
- 'nyhng to the Jews, any appreciation of the
admitting then - talent for nothing
wore exalted than the practical, {he conceded
that they might make money, but not music,
and proceeded, to 'his ■ intense satisfaction no
doubt, to prove all that lie intended.
Although the article made some stir at the
time, the interest in it was short-lived. There
■Was a tacit admission on the part of the better
minded, those who could see through the thin
veil with whiqli Wagner endeavored to hide his
hatred of the Jews, that while- his music was
claimed to be in adyaiice of the age, liis opin- .
ions were far behind it. While they were
willing to postpone listening to the former,
they thought that the latter might, with pro
priety, be relegated to the past. • , ■' ,
With the errors in fact, Or the absurd, theories j
by which the musical nightmare of this genera-_j
tion seeks to explain his position, we, jiave
naught to do. Oiir interest in the pamphlet is
due to the opportunity it affords us of studying
the'character of the author.: It must have sent
sorrow through Israel to learn, from Wagner,
that the race is incapable of producing that
which, can, or should, live in art. It was
funnv, however, to find tliat he had chosen
Mendelssohn aud Meyerbeer as proofs of his
theory. „.
In his subsequent admission of a belief m
the genius of Beethoven, we have soniew bat
on which to pin a comparison; To this article
of faith 1 we all subscribe; and here it may be
pertinent to suggest that with those, who most
fully understand the genius of Beethoven,
Mendelssolm is held in higher esteem-than
"IVagner; - . .
.We have no concern with Wagner’s position
as a composer. Far be it from us to pass judg
ment-upoii liis musical writings. Where they
have beta produced with every accessoiy that
wealth and scenic art aud royal favor could
furnish —where singers and players were alike
interested in contributing to the success Of this
favorite of an infatuated monarch—audiences
came, and yawned, and went away dissatisfied.
The unprejudiced critic could not regard
this want of popular success as a proof of a lack
of genius, and Wagner declines to accept the
verdict of his auditor's as final. They refuse to
be interested in him or liis works, and the mu
sician par excellence of the future forthwith
blames the Jews. He has behaved so badly to
them that he caimot avoid believing them to be i
his enemies, and, as such, the cause of his fail
ures. To then- relentless hate, provoked
by his ridiculous essay on “Judaism iuMusic,”
he ascribes his trouble. Jewish wealth,talent
and social influence have combined, he hna
■ sines, to crush him.
In this he overrates his own importance.
His essay had been forgotten by the majority of
these who were at one time annoyed by it.
The few who still remembered it fain believed
tliat he had grown wise enough to feel
ashamed of its foolish utterances. The Jews
whom he, with wonted fatuity, regarded as his
•enemies,had merely proven that they possessed
as good taste as their Christian brethren, in
ignoring the uneasy compounder ot musical
and poetic monstrosities.
That he does not wish to he let alone we
have abundant proof. Unfortunately for liis
vanity there is no evidence of a desire to gratify
his taste for martyrdom. Although his intense
• egotism leads him to ascribe all his failiu'es to
external causes,the public seems determined to
judge him on ins own merits.
There are certain cases wliicli one might
imagine as striking examples of the incon
gruous. Such, for instance, as Walt Whitman
denying music or rhythm to the verse of Mil
ton. or “Beulah” Evans insisting that St, Elmo
is a more genial work than Esmond. Ot a
piece with these imaginary judgments is that ot
Wagner pronouncing on Mendelssohn. Had
he the proper appreciation of his subject, he
could not retain so extravagant a belief in liis
own- excellence. Were he able to sympathize
with the "t*nius of oiie whose - c&recr- Wiis sin
gularly free from those agencies which Wagner
seems to think conducive, to fame, we might
have been spared some of the literary and
musical antics of the composer of the Meister
sinejer.
It is now nearly twenty years since the essay
referred to in these lines first saw the light.
Many a parent would have felt ashamed of
such progeny, but Wagner feels otherwise, and
presents ns with a new edition of liis “Judaism
in Music.” Is this the result of a monomania,
cr is it merely a new bid for notoriety ?

SOaiE VARIETIES OF FBESCfI CRIME.
Tlie readers of a late article in thoßevue des
Deux JUondes by M. Maxinxe;’ du Camp may
perliaps be inclined to fancy that the school ot
writers who deal in the terrible and revolting
inMit add a powerful chapter or two to the
mysteries of Tans without strayingtoo far-into
the regions of pure fancy. du Camp lias
evidently a close acquaintance with his subject;
lie has talked witli some of the leading men m
the criminal profession; he has visited tlieir
favorite haunts; lie has picked .up, something of
their language; and he gives us an elaborate
classification of their favorite pursuits. If, m
some respects, tlie French criminal is little above
the wild beast in liis propensities, lie. has yet a
certain grim picturesqueness about him which
would repay a careful student of human nature.
There was, for example, a certain sense of
humor about one Beaumont, who got liiniself
up in splendid official costume, with a black
coat, a white cravat, and a voluminous
portfolio under his arm, and ordered: a
soldier to accompany him with an air
of undoubting confidence. Placing him
as a sentinel before tlie door of the chief oi
the service de suretc, with bedel's to admit no
one, M. Beaumont repaired, to ; the official
apartment, w alked off with the valuables, and,
dismissing the soldier, disappeared into utter
obscurity, sending the same evening a civil note
of apology for the treuble which he had given.
M. Beaumont, we are almost glad to say, es
caped with his plunder from all pursuit. The
celebrated Javdin,'again, appears to have acted
the part of a Robinllood.inmodernlile. In
following his profession of c ambrioleur —a
peculiar variety of burglar—he was in the habit
of breaking into rooms, and when he found
them specially poverty-stricken, leaving behind
him a respectable contribution for the benefit
of the fortunate inmate. The delicacy of
feeling thus displayed did not imply that he was
above doing his work ■ in a more businesslike
spirit" when occasion demanded, for .Jardin was
unfortunately executed for murdering a young
girl whom lie surprised in one of liis visitations.
A slight touch of good feeling may perhaps be
put to the account’ of another gentleman
who was accused of complicity in a murder of
peculiar atrocity, at St. Cyr. He pointed out to
tlie President of the Court that lie was inno
cent of any premeditation, inasmuch as he had
come without arms to the scene of operations,,
and had only picked ,up .a stone on the way to
help in demolishing the victims. “Why, then,'
said , the President, “did you accompanyrmen.
whom you knew to be. intending a crime?"’
“Dame,”was f oMfis,.ll fa.ut
bum se rend re dr. petits services.” Other.stories
are of a more iuhinitigatedly revolting diameter.
We have lately been treated to discussions as
to the intuitive sense of morality possessed by
Hie whole Tinman race. "What sort -of moral
sentiiient could lurk in the breast of the crimi
nal who went to see_hisT>fpther executed, and
occupied''himself in picking pockets of four
watches and a purse? or of the horrible ruffian
of twenty-one, who, after miu'dering liisunother
with fifty-six blows of a knife, lay down on the
bed by the corpse, and, in liis own words,
words,' “passed a good night?” Much as the
plea of insanity has.been abused, we would he
Had to think 'that it was possible to set down
tlie crimes of such monsters to some irresistible
moral disease.
Tlie heroes of these stories were amongst tlie
aristocracy of their profession. They rejoice
in the proud title ol esccirpe, the name givbil to
the genuine assassin wiio niurders systemati
cally by way of open proceedings, and not as a
matter of occasional expediency. Below them
are numerous classes of criminals,each devoted
to some speciality, 1 ' and frequently displaying
the same soil of skill which we admire in the
artisan whose facility in liis own branch of
work has become an instinct. For tlie most
part, we recognize them as analogous to Eng
lish criminals of different varieties, though pe
culiarities of national custom open different
modes of attack in the two countries. The
/«(.sciii's,who are tlie most intellectual members
‘of tlie profession, are the swindlers, capable of
auythine from cheating at cards to getting up
sham companies,, M. du Camp mentions a cer
tain ilitijiau, who called himself Comte•
de Delair, professed to be the son
of a general of the First Empire, and
lived in tlie very best society on. the
profits of skilful thefts and gambling. Another,
a certain Diednoir, is at tlie present moment
living in great comfort in a large Dutch town.
Far below these are tlie francs bounjeok, who
get admission into houses ’as beggars lor tlie
purpose of stealing; tlie timers, or genuine
pickpockets; shoplifters, who are subdivided
into many classes, such as those who profess to
buy, and take tlie oppoitunity of helping them
selves under various pretences, and those who
venture to break into shops at night; the
foul utters, who steal -baggage oil' carts; and
numerous others, whose special skill lies in
robbing children, in changing mock jewels for
genuine, in cheating restaurateurs, or in va
■ rious other departments of business. Between
this rabble and tlie true assassin there is a care
fully graduated scale of malefactors. The
burglars'.--form-tlie lowest stage. The high
est rank of these is Hie- carmbleurs, who use
false keys. Above them are the so rejueurs,
tlie descendants of the old highway
men. M. du Camp describes one of
the last survivors of these gentlemen, who is
still in prison at Belle-Isle. Tils massive lower
jaw, movable, eyes, retreating forehead and
long powerful arms gave him, says M. du
Camp, the appearance of a huge chimpanzee.
Between the; sorrjueurs and the escarpes there
still intervene . the sciomfeurs, who corresponij
apparently to the English Carotters. They are,
it seems,.rather more objectionable than their
analogues,, from a liahit 01. depositing their vic
tim in the river. Another pleasant invention
empUived by these ingenious persons is an eel
skin filled width saiiil; with this they can strike
a lieavv blow, aiid-then, emptying out the sandj

To say the truth, there is. a certain naivete•

Great 'Uritain for tin; purpose, of demonstrating
tin- weakness of tin; Spanish cause, which
alone inis induced such relations between those
two governments. They argue tliat the

for sympathy and assistance in the present con

tbevget through using them as a diplomatic
cat’s-paw. the Spanish Cabinet will turn a cold

and that is‘‘ in persuading 'out Government to

vTglits of belligerency, but Spain is using them
to threaten us into a compliance willy, the
policy of neutrality towards: Cuba, when the
almost unanimous voice of the people, as indi

friendship towards the insurgents.

“Andy.” It was not .ascertained until' some
time afterward that the “A.. Johnson,” to
whom tin; Puuyolv laid alluded, was not the

: the modern improvements in the enginery of
of future contests. As Colonel Hawley shows,
modem science,. affords ,as ample, means; lor
defensive as for offeii§iv6war,Wid tlnis restores
i tire equilibrium of conditions
. which enter,into thedelerihihation offoe ques
■ tion of this duration bf tvare.', '■ Neither ‘Colonel
; Hdwley nor his opponents, however, take into
i account thqsc.npfoijil .elements, which have chief
| weight in deciding foecMraeter aiid duration of
j all contests.
1 History shows abundantly .that all Iong
• continued ware have had their origin in differ-.;
i erices of race ordiflferences of religion. Where
,lhe quarrel has been one merely between two
j selfish dynasties, about a disputed succession or
; division of spoils, ora doubtful boiindaiyyttae.
; contest may be'quickly ended by the destfuraon
of a hireling army, or by the bankruptcy or
■ discouragement of one or' both disputants.
Where national antipathies or religious fanati
: ci'sin enter into the"contest, the conditions are
wholly different. Napoleon . achieved easy
triumphs so long as lie fought simply against'
the Governments ,and foe armies .of Austria,
Prussia arid Russia. At Wagram lie defeated
the last 'organized army of Austria, and tlie
Aulic Council ’(Sued -for peace,j At ,Jena lie
scattered the Prussian forces, and the King of
•ff’rlissia submitted to his fate; At Friedland the
Russians were; vanquished, and Alexander
signedfoe‘treaty of Tilsit. 1 ; ~
On the other hand, French legions entered
Spaihwith'hardly ja show Ofppi>bsition from
the Spanish army, and Napoleon declared Ins
brother. Joseph King. What followed? A six
years*, war, and foe expulsion of the French;
’Russia was'next invaded for conquest. Tlie
Greek priests preached a crusade, and tlie Rus
sian people were aroused. What effect, then,
had the defeat of Borodino, the slaughter of
fifty thousand Russians, and the fall of Mos
cow?,Were the Russian people conquered?
No more tlian vve were at Bladensburg or Bull
Rim. In 1813, tlie war against Napoleon be
came, in Germamy a popular one. The Ger
mail poets, preachers and orators touched the
heart of the people.; Wiiat availed, then, tlie,
victories of Lutzen, Bautzen and Dresden ? the
unparalleledcamage of Leipsic? They but united
all Germany in a combined effort to free tlie
Fatherland. From' tlie first, the contest be
tween England and France was .national'and
popular. It was not a mere trial of strength be
tween Napoleon, and his Majesty, King George.
Tlie two people hated each other, lienee there
was between these States no compromise, no
peace,.', . .foj'H ?'« y !
1 fotory is full of shell instances. How long
and fiercely the Mohammedans fought to ex
tend tlieir religious empire; how persistently
the Crusaders rolled hack that tide of conquest,
.and .struggled to-secure foe triumph of tlie
Cross. Europe-.was. devastated by a thirty
years’ war. alter the Protestant Reformation.
The (Spaniards, fought • unremittingly for centu
ries to drive ' the Moors from Spain. Tlie
Dutch struggled for a whole generation to cast
off the Spanish yoke. ibTUg.se,' with theiforee
long J*unic wars, may he. cited as the longest
and’ bloodiest struggles"recorded in lixstdry.
They were -so,-for the obvious reason, that in
none of tlieiil did the points at issuif a'drnit
of any coniproinise. Rome or Carthage liad to
rule tlie world. Moslemism or Christiaiiity liad
to prevail in Europe. Tlie SpanishPeilin3tda
was too contracted for two races to live at the
same time within its borders. ’
Billed camion and breech-loading nnuskets;
could pot base forced a much .speedier conclu
sion of any of these contests; The passions
which engendered them were tie) hitter and
deep-seated to he terminated:hy anytliiug short
of absolute victory, or utter defeat. Even in
this matter-of-fact century, liow long would
England fight to niaiipuu tier commercial su
uremaev. France bet; independence, or v.v. the
free’ people of America, our liberty of'con
