And. .when .; the troublesome Sense ; of

ness - which - we want •soon • creeps over 'us''
By the' way; this ' absence of positive color in
the Seenery maybe accounts , for the:: former
Arr6alence of Quakerism in these parts. Ex- , '
Wind and human nature ,cannot get beyond
neutral tint and quietism in 'East England. As '
it is in color,Lfor here even the sun seems too

are s4,Ved freriLbeine• obliged: to go Into, ficti-;
thins'reVeritotiethe' opalescent splendors,
and amethyetMe giorieS of Sunset, and all the
rest of it we chatter about, in the. Medi
terranean and the Atlantic—so it is also with
vegetation. Disbud of stately pines, you may
greet; and with entire absence of enthusiasm,
the modeSt tamarisk and the unobtrusive sea
popPy; for the oceanic flora is like everything
else in these dull and pleasint parts, neither
prolific nor varied. Instead ;.'of; the sea-weeds,
and all their splendors of green and scarlet,
which' professional tourists tell 'us 'to
admire and hunt up at Ilfracombe 'or &art'
borough; the sea does not take the -trouble to
grow anything More' ; pronounced than .
' clammy, inconspicuous, oozy: slime, which,
when the tide is out—and the tide is always
out,--makes the monOtOnous, • mud mere
meadoW of grey:slush, not green grass, nor al- ,
;together dulse, but much like a mess of, badly
boiled spinach. Time sea seldoM fallS , into -
-breakers; ,it is German in name, and Gerinan
,and drill in.character. ClifiS; of courseLLand
happily so for the idle mind—there are none;"
And this is a blessing -to the idle. 'for where ^
there is a precipice, there is 'with most folks
that sense of the terrible and the dangerous
which Byron says tempts an awful wish' to
plunge over it.: - And' feelings of this snit do
not suit that gent. (inlet Avhich, to thoSe in
search of repose; so characteristically recom
mends these nobly
.characteristically
of the World.
Further, as there is nothing to see in external
nature—no rocks, no' forests, , no' crags;
no "effects" of shadow, color, or sky; nothing
"in the; "scarped" and "jagged" .and "rifted"
:line—so they are, and oh,! how happily for
the indolent, no antiquities, no noble ruins;
nothing historic or legendary to get up: Anti
we know from much , European experience in
:church-bunting, and picture.hunting that all
these heroic things are fatiguing to the mind
which wantsnnly to be idle, and goes out for
a holiday with an unbuttoned piirpose, and for
till sake of cultivating and exercising the art of ;
- doing nothing. - Southend, Walton-on-the-
Naze, Ilarwic, Dovercourt, Ipswich, Aid
' borough and Lowestoft have, we take it, little
Or no l&tory; or, if they have, it is /not written
in their stupid streets and most prosaic and,
1 1
uninviting neighborhoods.l3ody and mind alike
thcrefore, may be released from any higher
call e than the calm summons Pr niente
in these serene and slumbrous homes
of languid droWsiness. Finally, if
nature is dull in these parts, man
is prosaic. The natives seem to'be entirelyper
meated a i ndA imbued with the' genius -
Vth' rto genins. The race is
not peculiarly ugly—which-is:Well, for the sight
of ugliness disturbs; and certainly not peculiarly_
handsome----human beauty we • know also dis
turbs. But as is nature, so is man; dull ; nnat
tractive,uniMpressive, commonplace. Humanity
presents what the poet calls a
Calm, broad, thoughtless aspect.
The East Anglian mind ,moreover suits the
East Anglian person. The wise• Men we know
came out of the East, and: 'the present state of
the Eastern sea-side proves it. The wise men
have all certainly come out of that East; and
there is not•one•of the race left. • Life hardly
lives; it stagnates. Torpidity,as far as we could
See, sets in with testivation, nbt, as elsewhere
with hybernation. 'humanity /falls : \ back into
the tortoise stage of development; pr, as Mr.
Darwin would say, has been arrested. \Nowhere
else in England do we find the reptile period of
hunianity. •
Surely these are con ditions in which that
idleness which weliave - ventured to salute as
the ideal of the holiday presents the highest at
tractions to tourists; simply because there are
no attractions in the case. We have suggested
licute fOr the lotos-eater, a region of per
-Petual and-tranquil—laziness-and-listless
climate. Here dullness rules and vacuity
reigns, and the genial bard of idleness, who
practiced what he preached and illustrated what
he sang,
who was too slothful to stretch out
his idle hands to gather the peaches, but lazily
munched them as they hung, might have raised
a true Castle of Indolence m these !serene and
dreamy placid lands, where all creation, natural
„and mural, is alWays "falling asleep in, ; a half
dream." Here you may smile at the Imperial
prig who complained that lie had lost a;day,and
you may lose as many. dayS as your holiday al
lows you. England has its Sleepy Hollow, and
we trust that it will be visited by the
strenuous •votaries of ipouci«nce. - The life
to be. lived here is neither sleeping nor *baking;

the memorable occasion of my passing a night
in the society of tramps and beggars, hearing
the matter discussed seriously and at' length,
and that by persons who; from 'their position
in' life, undoubtedly
,were_ those' to whose
opinion considerahle weight 'attached. The
conversation began. by one young fellow, as he
reclined on. his hay-bed . and .puffed , compla
cently at his short pipe3 t relating how lie had
"kidded" the workhouse authorities, into the
belief MA' lie_ had • not applied for relief
'at that casual-ward . 'fol. at: least a
month previously,.whereas liehad , been there
for three successive nights. ',Of course this
was a joke mightily enjoyed by his. audience ; •
and a friend; wagging his head in high admira
.tion, expressed his wonder as 'to rhow' the feat
could be successfully accompliShed. -"How?"
replied the audacious .one;: , • , why, with cheek,
to be sure. Anything can 'be done if you've
only got cheek enough. It's no use puttin' on
1 a spurt of it, and knocking 'under soon as
you're tackled. Qo in • for it up to the heads

truth; stop at nothing.
They're bound. to be
lieve you. . There ain't nothing else left for
'em. They think that there's an end some
where to lyin' and cheekin', and: they're
fools enough to think that they can tell When
that end shows itself. ? Don't let your cheek
have any end to it: That'e.where you're right,
my lads."
„._
have, at the risk of shocking the reader of
delicate sensibilities, quoted at full terms in,
which my -ruffianly "casual” chartiber,fellow
delivered himselfbi hiS opinion as to' the power
of "cheek" illimitable, because from the same
experienced source' presently proceeded as
handsome a tribiiteto the 'efficiency of the offi
cers of the Meudicity Society as they could de
sire.
"What shall you do with yerself to-inor
row ?" one asked of another, who, weary of
song, and anecdote, and blasphemy,preparatory
to curling flown for the night, was yawning
curse e 9 on the parochial authorities for supply
ing him with no,ivariner rug: "It ain't much
you/ can do anyhows atween the time when
you finish at the crank and go out, till when •
you wants to come in agin. It feels like frost;
-if it is, I shall do a bit ,of Chanting ' I think:"
(" Chanting" is vagrant phraseology for street
singing.)
" I'm with Yon," replied hiS friend ;, "unless.
it's cold enough to work the simnel.; that's 'the
best game. 'Taint no use, though, without it's
perishin' cold ; - that's the wrist on ft."
- (It may bere be mentioned that the " shalleri",
or more properly 'shallow" dodge, is for itbeg 7
„gar to make capittii_of his rags and a disgusting
condition of semi-fluidity; to expose_,:his, '
'shoulders, and his knees, and his: shirtless
chest, pinched mid blue with cold. A pouncing'
_of the exposed parts_with_common4towder
Tblue is found to - heighten the frost-bitten - effect,
and to excite the compassion of the Chari..
tible.) , •
"Tldre you are wrong," broke in the advo
cate of "cheek;" "that isn't the wust of it. The
wust of it is that there's no best of it, It
don't matter what you try; all games is a-grow
' stale as la.'c't week's tommy" (bread).
"It's 'cos - pe6ple get so gallus 'ard-'arted,
that's wot it is," remarked with a grin a young
gentleman who shared the bed of the "cheeky"
one. •
"No, that ain't it, either; people are as soft
'ailed and as green as ever they Nvag; and so
they would shell out like they used to do, only
for them :(something too dreadful for

they sees him in the street. They gives the
public the 'office.' (information), and the public

These observations evidently ' set: the
"cheeky" one thinking on times past; forie
presently took up the subject again. '
"Things ain't wot they was one time.

"The other day, Harry and I:were invited to
dine at, the Bonheinis. •We always enjoy
ing there, because.they'are .-- so agreeable and
sociable. On this' occaileirWe met Rosa, who
had come in, from ler home. at Fontainebleau;
She looks and talks even more like a man than
one would infer from her photographS. She
lias'the Prenchman's way of placmg her index
finger along, the full, length of her, nose, which
I never before saw, a Woman do; and she parts
her hair oil one side like a man, letting .fall
over her fbrehead. entirely 'gray, except
where it is snow-white. Indeed, the lady.looks
older than her Mother. She talks energetically;
clearly, and rather dida,ctically,but is extremely ,

said : "Ohl yes; I knowi I carry one jnst like
it;" and pilled, it out of her pocket to show .ii
to us. As it. Was loaded, it frightened the. ihm
ily considerably to see her manoeuvre it in her
off-hand •way. After dinner,, she smoked her
cigar like the °Mei- gentlenien of 'the party.
"In the evening, as we were looking over
some prints published by. Peyrol, her'brother

A CONTESTED EARLDOM.
A Boy Five Years Old the Claimant.
•An unusual incident (says the London paf:(lL
INri.;:its) occurred :a:the:House of lords a few
days ago; A little bine-eyed Loy,
five years old,presente& hiniself_4_theLbar_Df_
the-II ouseyand- their-Lordships; sitting-in the
Cominittee of Privileges, were asked to pro,
nounce him Earl 'Of Wicklow, and 'virtually to
decide that he is heir to the:extensive estates
of that earldom in Ireland. A rival . claimant
• of the vacant .peerage contended before the
Committee, over which Lord itedesdale • pre
sides, that the child %vas illegitimate or suppo
sitious; that he was not the lawful offspring of
the member of the Wicklow 'family, through
whom be claims to inherit the title :and' pro 7:
perty; and the inisatiSfactory proceedings in, the'
house of Lords.tirishig from the stiSpleiotO 0.13,
. settee of a most important witness, show that
the case is invested with grave difficulties,:
it appears to he conceded that'ifthe child is
the lawful son of the late William George llOW
ant he is entitled to the earldom. The barony
of Clonmore Was created in 'ma; 'faVor,of.
Ralph:Reward, M. P. for Wicklow, Ob. had

'af the nowards of England.., 'His wife was.

had come 'on, but see—"A light! a light!"

in the wilderness. Sure enough,,there was, a
light; but it was a.great, way ott, and might not

divided between these three CLISSC3
• First—The - greet mining monopolies, the

market in a'score of ways. '
At the very time when our great commer
cial centres are suffering on account of a short
Supply of coal, anti the price is being forced to
an outrageous figure, it is not unusual for the
railroads to cease 'freighting the coal. Vast
armies of railroad laborers are, thus compelled
to lie idle and directly aid the swindling ope,
rations. Transportation tariffs are increased;
ears are refused to the smaller companies out
of the ring, anti all the 'machinery of unscru
pulous railroad monopolies is thrown into the"
scale to force the price of coal to a higher
&rind—The Transportation • Monololles, the
railroads. and minds ownmi by these, the small'.
camPauie4 and the individual operators who,
as a rule, are fair and honorable in their deal- ,
ings with the_men, would be able to break.the
force of speculative ..offerations aimed at the
manufaeturint , and consuming interests of the 4,
country.
Third : Ti spy; 45pccatat9r,s, who, to say
the least, are not over serupulthis ' t.iire still
further advantage of the needs of the corn,
The . inlners theniselves ri would: prefer that
the rice of coal should remain ; at rive or six
dollars in New York the year
• round. If' it
drops below the minimum price the.minerS
cannot support their farnilies, and they must
quit Work: On- the other hand they do not
desird that the price of coal Should ever ad
vance above the maximum fi.gure here given.
When coal Sold at.NewYork for firmer ton,
and at Port Carbon for :$l3 - pci. ton, the wages
iii Selniyfidll county was l'or miners, $l4 per
week; inside laborers, $l4; outsidelaborers,sll
per week. In Luzerne, miners received $.16,
inside laborers, $l4; onthide -'laborers,
$11:0; and when pricks for coal advanced
the miners denuintied and have received
twenty per cent of said advance.' To us
ill
trate : If coal advanced.to. $6 per ton at Port
Carbon, (which it has not yet done),the miner's
wages would then , be $22 40 per weeki - It is
not the miners who put up the pride of coal at
ortCarbon anti New York. They do not
demand nor receive any advance of wages,
until the coal is mined and sold, and the'
money in the pockets of the operators. Then
they demand the twenty per cent .of the ad
vance at which the coal was soft above the
$.5 or 's3 fixed as.the basis. But it the pride of
coal 38 reduced their wages would, be reduced
witbont a murmur on their part.
Your committee would suggest that;it is a
question 'Whether Government should, not
take possession of the coal nines of the coun
try, paying the : present owners a .fair valua--
tion for the same; and - Mir these.mines as the
gold mines of California haye been run, in the
interest of the-whole people. The -=reserve
'right to all the national wealth or the country_
should never pass out of the kinds of the
people into the bands of the monopolists.
