they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayft.'s Pills have been lcnown for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a world-wide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the .several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Kot only do they
cure the cvery-day complaints of every
body, but also' formidable and dangerous
diseases thai Lave baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power

safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they pripe much less

They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and 'strenjrthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all a;es and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sujrar-coating preserves them ever freh,
and makes them pleasant to take; whiW
beiiig purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

THE DEVIL AID MI LAW YE.
The devil came up to the earth one day.
And to a court house wended his way
Just as an attorney, with a very grave face. ;
Was proceeding toargne-'UiepotnU la the ease.
Nuw a lawyer His Majoety never had seen.
For m his dominions aone ever had keea ; ;
And be felt very angry the reason to know
Why none had been sent to the region below.
Twas the fault of his agent, HU Majesty tboaght,
That none of these lawyers had ever been caagbt
And for bis own pleasure be felt a desire, '
Tocjtne to toe earth and the reason Inquire.
Well, this lawyir who rose with a visage so grave,
Made bis opponent a consummate knave; t
And the devil then was greatly amused
Te hear the attorney so loudly abused. !
Bat as soon as the speaker bad come to a close,
The counsel opposing him fiercely arose
And heaped sack abase on the head of the Brat,
As made him a villain-ol all saea the wont.
Thos they quarreled, eonteaded and argued so
long, !!., y
Twas bard to determine which one was wrong ;
And concluding he'd heard quite enough at the
fuss.
"Old Nick" turned away and Soliloquised thus :
If all they have said of each other be true,
The devil has scarcely been robbed of his due ;
But I'm satisfied now that It's all very well,
For these lawyers would ruin the morals of ;ha!I.
They have pusiled the court with tbetr villainous
cavil, ; '" . - -
And I'm tree te confess they have patiled the
devil;
My agents ire rlxbt to let lawyers alone.
IX I had them they'd swindle me out of my throne.

"But do yon think I eight to mar

15y heavens, 1 do," said Mr. Kan-
pen with sudden vehemence and flash
ing eyes. "I am neither a boy nor a
puppet, and if I thought yon would
throw me over because of my moth
er's folly and ambition, I would go
straight to the devil."
"Oh, pray don't," Interrupted Miss
Vincy, with a gesture ot distress. "I
fully intend to marry yon we are
both rational beings and are neither
of us children. I agree with yoo that
it would be an injustice to ourselves
to sacrifice the happiness of both onr
res without a reasonable excuse;
but, Philip, perhaps your mother has
some good reason for declining me as
her daughter perhaps she even sus
pects me as an adventuress," with a
quick glance at Mr. Runsen's face.'
"But then" said that gentleman.
with an impatien poll at his mus
tache, ,."oo matter what my. mother
thinks or says, so long as yon are
mine, Valeria," taking both ber hands
in a largo clasp, and looking deep into
ber grave ejep, "Valeria, I trust yoo
from my heart nd although yonr
past is not known to me, yet when I
look into your eyes I feel that yonr
soul is as beautiful as yourself. . I
love you and believe is yoo, as I do
in my religion by faith, and 1 can
not express how deep it my gratitude
for the gift of your love." ; v- .
Valeria's eyes were wet with flu
shed tears when he bid spoken, for It
was not often that this gentleman
offered such words of serious tender,
ness.
'Thilip, I thank yon from my
heart," she answered.after t moment's
pause, and ler pale, lovely fact raised
to his. 'But 1 never , intended yon
should marry me withont fall knowl

Philip, until three months ago, 1 ex
pected to bo another man's wife so
matter who he was" with an arch
smile at her lover's contracted brows
"we are nothing to each other now.
At first, when wt were engaged, I
thought I loved him, it was so d
ligbUul to imagine myself beloved ;
: but I soon found that 1 cared nothing
for him. , J shrank from Juviag him
come near mo. I eold not even boar
Somerset
that bt should touch my band, and
yet I was ashamed and afraid to te!
him that I would not marry Mm.
But very soon he broke it off himself
tbe money tbat tuy parents naa
left me when they died was all lost,
and then I discovered that I had nar
rowly escaped being married for my
moner. I was very politely lilted
Philip : bat ! do assure yoo that it
was worth all my money to be fret of
that horrible marriage, liat I detest'
td New York after that : so, oat day
like the Arabs, I silently stole away
and came to this little spot, where,
had been as a child, little dreaming,
Philip, that should meet my fate so
soon."
"Poor child 1" said Philip, tender
ly. -"You mast give me the right to
love, cherish and protect' yoo very
soon indeed, and I thank uod you
art a poor woman, that is (anxiously)
if yoa think yon can manage on my
salary of three thousand a year and
bt content" ,
And Philip looked into her sweet
face and read there that she was on
otterably content '
' .
"Valeiia, too most put on your
best bib and tucker to-night: they tel
mt this ball ia a most exclusive affair,
and of coarse my mother will have
early bulletins to inform her of your
debut in Washington society."
Tber bad been married a month
and were sitting at their hotel break
fast, freshly returned from their wed
ding tonr, and here in Washington
Valeria was altogether strange.
"Your commands shall be obeved,"
answered Valeria, gayly, "only you
are banished for the day, while I con
coct my toilet and furbish up my fin
ery."
Later, while Mr. Runsen, in his
correct evening dress, sat reading his
paper and awaiting, rather impatient
ly, bis wile, the door opened ana un
heard she entered.
Do I suit you ?" said a gentle
s- w, m -w S
voice, and then Mt. liunsen lowerea
his paper and became transfixed.
Before him stood a vision of lovtli
ness in magnificent cream-white silk,
covered with delicate web-like lace.
Superb diamonds flashed in ber ears
aad encircled the round, white col
umns of her throat, shone on her arms
and in the rippling masses of her bsir;
but fairer to see than all wss the soft
radiance of her hazel eyes, the pink
flash noon ber cheeks, as she said
strain : "Do I auite suit you, Phil
ip V
Have l gone madf" was ner Hus
band's answer, as he took in all tbe
delicate details of her exquisite toilet
"Whv. Valeria, where on earth did
you get these 1" touching the huge
solitaires in ber ears.
"Relics of departed grandeur, my
ove," she answered lightly, with
tap of ber point lace fan.
Come along, will yoa f ' We shall
ret there at sensation time as it is, l
fear."
So Philip was content to kiss the
pretty upturned face and enwrap her
in her far-lined cloak.
There was a universal hash in the
conversation when Mr. and Mrs
Runsen's name were announced, for
Mr. Runsen had held quite a pro.
noonced place in society before bis
marriage, and it was generally known
tbat be had incurred his family's dis
pleasure br a mesalliance with a
scheming adventuress, whose maiden
name was not even known.
But now there was a low murmur
of admiration as the beautiful and
graceful woman entered, with the air
of
a dacness and tbe self-possessed
manner of a woman of fashion.
Very soon Mrs. Ronsen becsme
the centre of the most distinguished
group ia the room.
Altogether tbe evening was a trt-
ompb, the gentlemen taking every
opportunity to congratulate Philip on
bis selection of a wife, and tne ladies
proving by their absorbed gaze their
recognition o' the costliness of Mrs.
Runsen's toilet
By the by," said Philip, as they
drove back to tbe hotel, "I saw ray
cousin claim vour acquaintance this
evening did yoa know him in New
York7"
"Philip, yoa will be rather aston
ished to hear it was yonr cousin
bom I was engaged to marry, lie
was quite dszed when be found it
was Valeria Vincy yoa had married,"
and Mrs. Runsen's laughter was
qaite musical with the hsppinees she
telt
How altogether comfortable to
think yon art taved from tbat nnmit-
gated idiot, said Mr. Ronsen in an
swer. "Ut it quite welcome to my
mother't money, dearest, now I have
yoa."
. .
At eleven the next morning Valeria
came to ber bisband, equipped for a
promenade.
"If yoa will permit me to be so
vulgar," remarked her husband, as
be surveyed ber from over his morn
ing paper, "I should say yon art
becoming rather stanning in yoar
raiment"
And indeed Mrs. Hansen's Ull.fair
beauty was admirably set off by tbe
seal browa of her velvet suit
"And ia accordance with Washing
ton usage," continued Mr. Ronsen,
while his wife fastened her long gloves,
there is a lengthy , description of
yonr incomparable beauty .etc," tooth
ing the paper. "and the statement
that yoar diamonds alone are worth
a fortun, Mia Raci:a ; so that I am
expecting every moment a telegram
from my mother to assure na that we
art forgiven, and welcoming ns to her
arms." .
Just as Mr. Euasea spoke there
waa rap upon the door, and the
servant aanoanced Mr. James Ran
sea ia tbe parlor, so with tome mer
riment they descend d to meet her.
Mrs. Ruaaen, senior, t very gra
cious to her star daughter, playfully
reprimanded ber son oa being so dila
tory ia bringing hit wife to set her,
and altogether ignored the circum
stances under which they had last
parted.
-At 1 tee yoa are going out," aaid
she, presently, turning to Valeria,
"yoa moat let me give yoa an airing;
my laadaa ia at the door, and wt can
drive op aad dowa the avenue."
... Tank yea very much," answered
Valeria, quietly, "but I am about
to take Philip to look at a house I

have selected we are tired of hotel
lift." i
"Then I shall go with yoo," insist
ed Philip's mother, and as it was lm
possible to decline this, Valeria ac-
ST
cepted in silence':
As thev rolled westward, Valeria
was verv silent while Mrs. Ransen
cave a stream of advice as to the ad
vantage of hot and cold water and
stationary wardrobes, bnt allowed
that they were impossible things 4n a
house available Is? their very mooer
ate income. f
"Oh, I dare say Valeria will man
ace everything ia some wonderful
war " said Philip. "She has the tal
ent to make a little do a great deal,
I have found oat already." and as
he spoke they drew op in answer to
Valeria's previous instructions before
a statJely stone edihce much hand
somer than Mrs. Runsen's own man
sion. i
"That stupid coachman has made
some mistake," Mid tbe owner of the
carriaire. as he prepared to inform
him: but Valeria said :
"No, he is quitejigbt;" and stepped
out of the carriage, the others follow
ing, scarcely knowing why.
Up tbe broad, steps, across tne tes-
selated ball into a room like a fairy
land with its Axminster carpet of
pale hues, and .blue satin hangings
and furniture, while beyond opened
vistas of apartments as exquisitely
designed, in orange and ebony, and
farther on in crimson and gilt
For a moment mother and son
stood looking at the silent splendor ;
Philip torned. and. looking in bis
wife's timid arown face, said sternly,
"Valeria, tell me at once what this
all means." and at this word and
look Valeria forgot her ncotber-in-
law evervthine bat her husband's
arms. ?
'Torsive mt my deception," she
said, her lovely head thrown back
into his face. "It was so sweet to
know yoa love mt for myself alone

KKMr-ERVILLE,
iWich is in the Btate uv Mississippi,
Auft. 15, 187ft
I hednt the pashense to wait at
Pettasville, in Ohio, for a frost The
thermometer woodn't do nothin for
me. Nite after nite I tot op, till
morning, hopin for it to go down to
the freezin pint, so tbat it wood de
stroy tbe corn, bat it woodn't go
down.
I hoped for some sort av a smash
in the iron market for some terrible
distress to come upon the manufac
tarert and operatives I prayed for
defalcasheca, for bankruptcies, for
anything that wood make distress
and make tbe people dissatisfied with
tbe existin condisnen uv things, bat
nothin uv the kind happened. Lab
rin men wuz all employed, their em
ployers paid em promptly and in good
money, and when I went onto tne
streets and howled agin hard timet
and Republikin misrool, I wuz laft to
skorn. I saw em rutin on to easy
that I wax temptid to qait Dime-
kratik polytiz and go to work my
self. But an ansbent habit prevail
ed, and I nipt tbat resoloosben in the
bud.
Feeliu that I must do suthin for
the Dimocrisy I left for Mississippi,
wicb is a more promisia field, and
got full uv tbe old fashioned kind uv
Dimocrisy onto which I wuz once
weaned.
I am happv here. Here we her
the undilootid article. Here there is
distress in ded airuist Here the
Dimocrisy her no money, and never
will her, and I km talk bard times
with some effect
My bizais sence I her bin here is
to assist in savin tbe County from the
fell spirit uv disorganizashun. There
is more niggers than white men here,
and jist alter the war a great many
di&organizars from Ohio and Noo
England settled in the county, put
ting up saw mills and baying large
quantities av land, aod spend in mon
ey on improvements and sich. ot
contentid with reversin the reglar
habits uv the kentry they insisted on
taking part in polytix, and ez the
niggers votid with them, thev car
ried the County several years after
the war, and kep the Dimocrisy gro
om in spint
Bat at the last Presidenshel eleck-
shun the Difiocrisy girded tip its
loins and refased to submit to this
infamus rooL It wuz determined to
carry the County for Tilden and Re
form, and tbe Repubukm msjontr uv
two thousand wuz changed to a Dim-
lkratic majority uv about tbe same
number. Tbe Dimocrisy quit groan-
in and loaded ther shot-guns. It woz
a orisisr and it wax boldly and cheer
fully met I do not know how many
niggers wax killed, for no akkoant
was ever taken uv em, nor do I
know how many uv ther white ab-
bettora woz permittid to leeve the
Couotv. but ez it wuz boldlr pro
claimed that the freedom and puri
ty uv the ballot-box woz agin to be
mantained, even at the muzzle uv the
shot-gun, the number mast bev bin
einsidursble. The niggers waz offer
ed ballot, in akkordance with tbe
amendment, with the eondishDj-stem-ly
insistid onto that it was to be the
Dimekrstic ballot without a .tkratcb
onto it V err faw of them was
abandoned enoff to offer their votes,
and, ez, I remarkt, the Dimocrisy
carried the eonnty, triumphantly for
ilden and Reform.
This veer tbe Dimocrisr met and

aoder heven why any man, black or
white, sbood refoose to vote for it
The csndidates woz all eligible.
Every one av em hed owned niggers
afore the war, and every wan or em
hed served in the Confedrit army.
I bleeve tber wuzn't wan on it that
hed bin anything less than a captin,
and one, tbe candidate for Sheriff.hed
partissipated in the glorious affair at
Fort Pillow. All uv em hed bin ac
tive in ridding the kentry uv disturb
ers. Col. Sharkey, the candidate for
Sheriff, hevia killed fast and last, a
hundred niggers. His shot-gun waz
slluz shoor.
To our surprise a disturber named
Thompson disentid from the action
ur tbe convensbun. tie wuz oorn in
the county, bat hed disgraced his
State by being reconstructed and act-
. a .
in witn tne raaixeis.
He called a convensbun uv the
"citizens" and snnounst hisself ez a
independent" candidate for Sheriff.
Ez mite her bin expectid this aroused
iadignashun, in the kentry. Wuz this
to be permited ? Never I
"I thought they wuz done with
this nonsense," sed Col. S, "bnt they
drive me to it"
And he wiped out his shot-gun and
laid in a stock uv buckshot
The Dimocrisy organized to pre
vent this outrage. Headed by Col.
Sharkey, every man or em, with his
shot-gun in his hand and determina-
sbun on bis brow, marched to tne
hall where the disorganizes waz in
session. Thompson bed jist bin nom
inated and wnz makia a speech in
wich be wax argin deroshun to the
yoonyun and the laws. Col. Sharkey
stopped bim, remarkin he hed suthin
to say.
Do you reely and in ded erneat
propose to be a candidate for sheriff?"
he asked ur Thompson.
"Certainly I do," wuz the inaleo,
reply. - "In this free kentry anybody
kin be a candidate wich km get a
nommashnn.
"My dooty ia deer," ted tbe intrep
id Sharkey. "I am a law-abidin cm
zea and will her anthin but law and
order. Wat I am about to do ia my
own privit matter, tho it ia in the in-
trest uv the masses, law and order
mutt be maintained. Mr. Thompson
I giv yoo jit fire mionita to get off
ur tbat platform, resine your can

meetin."
"Can't a citizen nr Mississippi
hold meetings and rote jist ex he
pieeaea 7" 'demanded the insolent
Thompson.
"To rote es one pleases it a hevio
born rite," entered CoL Sharkey,
"but one mast please to rote the

time is neerly op, aod ! never waste
words." "
He cockt his gun.
"I shel stay ez long ez I pleas, and
sbel be a candidate "
The mizable man didn't finish the
sentence. The five minnits wuz not
quite up, bat CoL Sharkey saw there
waz no yoose or argooin with bim,
and his shot-goa entered. Thompson
fell on the platform a corpse.
Then CoL Sbarkey, re-loadin the
barrel, gir notis to the white men in
the hall, that they must leave the
kentry in 24 boors or take the conse.
kences, and that the niggers must git
to their respective homes to-wunst,
and with his faithful followers left
the hall.
Arrivin at Liberty Hall tbe Dime
kratie hed-qnartera, Col. Sharkey askt
us to halt
"The law mast be observed," he
sed. "I bev killed a man. Very
well, I will anser for it I am a law
abidin citizen. This matter mast be
investigated, and the Courts most
past npon it It may be that I waz
wrong. We wiil go to the Magis

Jostise or the Peace, wuz in.
"I wish to dehrer myself op," sed
CoL Sharkey.
"Wat bez happened 1" asxt the

who wuz a runin for Sherd. I killed

"Jvillin." sed the squire, "ia a se-

and doubtlis yoo hed prorocashun
The Court holds the kiliin uv sich
entirely justifiable, and yoo will not

Colonel."
"Let it be remembered," Bed Sbar
key, that I hev obsarved the law. 1
killed a man I cum here voluntarily
and delivered mvself up. The court
hez honorably acquitted me and I am
free man. I coodn t ber slept

homsge to law. Y at is freedom with
outlaw?"
A pobte wuz at once detailed to
see that the obnoxious disturbers did
actooallr leeve that nite, and tbat
they mite hev no reason for stay in
ther mills wuz burnt, and ther houses
raidid. We sot ther wimmen and
children out into the nite. and divid
ed tber household goods among the
faithful ez needed em.
We bhel not be troubled with these
disturbers any more, and tbe county
will her that yoonity so much to be
desired. CoL Sharkey will be yoo-
nanimously electid, and we sbei be
the banner Dimecratic County ur the
State.
I enjoy lirin here very much. Tbe
soil is rich and there is excellent fa
cilities for manufactarin. Air that
we want is populashun and capital
We want men wich woodent desire
to interfere in polytix, and sich wood
be allowed to remaoe here unmo-
estid.
The citizens, ez wuz demonstratid
by CoL Sharkey's givia hisself op af
ter the sbootin uv Thompson, is great
sticklers for ob?ervin law. After
kiliin a man the ahivelry allaz goes
afore a justis and is acquitted in doo
egal form.
Ther never hez been a white man
hung for kiliin in the county, ceptin
one, a mud si'l, wich soot a native
for orderin him not to vote on e.eck-
shun day. Tbe rite kind uv men,
with capitle, cood do a great deal to
ward bildin up the country, and that's
what we wunt But they must be
considrit and very keerful about any
attempts to break up tbe Dimecratic
party, thus invitin trouble. I ain't
shoor but tbat I shell remain here.

at Siagara
A gentleman and his wife arrived
at Niagara Falls, on the IGth of Ju
ly. They were on their way from
New London, Conn., to their home
in Minnesota, and deviated a little
from their direct route in order to
visit the great falls. Arriving so late
they concluded that they would not
go to a hotel, and waited in the Erie
depot until after 4 o'clock, when they
started down town to see the sights.
They strayed first down to the
bank of the river just below Wit-
mer't mill. Here the gentleman at
tempted to bathe his feet, when he
suddenly became dizzy and fell help
lessly into the boiling rspids. The
screams ot his wife attrscted the at
tention of William Dinan, who was
watering his horses near by. Di
nan, tied bis horses to a tree and
rushed after the woman, who was
running toward the Cataract House.
Dinan says he could just distinguish
tbe form of the man in the rapids,
and he told the terrified woman that
it waa of no use to attempt the
rescue, that he would certainly, go
over the falls. The woman ran
through the gate leading to the little
park between the Cataract House
and tbt old luver Hotel, and hurried
down the bank to tbe raceway below.
Dinan following a moment later, and
his astonishment can hardly be lm
agined when be saw tbe dripping
stranger sitting on tbe steps in the
embrace of his weeping wife. After
falling into tbe water the gentleman
said that be hardly realized where he
waa for a moment : He could not
swim, bat he struggled as best he
could to reach tbe shore. As lack
would hare it the drowning man was
hurled against the bulkhead of the
pier enclosing the raceway back of
the Cataract House, and was carried
into tbe quiet water, where he man
aged to secure a bold on the mason
ry, and climbed out upon terra firma.
The maa'a escape from death was
little leas - than miraculous. He
hardly realized at first tbe magniiode
of the danger be had escaped. He
bad not seen the fails, and he asked
Mr. Dinan whether he wouIJ bare
been killed tu a certainty if he had
beta carried orer tbe cataract

Lonpos, Aug. , 1879.
Not only in England but in other
parts of Europe are the effects ef
American competition beginning to
be indirectly felt American import
are largely diminishing the external
demand for the cereals grown in the
fertile plains of Southern Prussia so
much bo tbat in some districts land
is said to be going out of cultivation
simply because tne raising or crops
has ceased to be remunerative. Choi
era, plague, and diphtheria are ragin?
with great severity in many of the
eastern and southern provinces, while
others are afflicted by a ruinous vis
itation of locusts, and cattle plague
in a very fatal form, is widespread.
The vitality and recuperative power
or any great community are marvel
ous, but it is scarcely possible that
iinsaia can pass through sncb a con
currence of calamities without ex
periencing some startling social or
political upheaval.
Ihere is no more striking evidence
of the superficiality of tbe veneer of
Western civilization which overlays
tbe oriental barbarism tbat is the
actual condition of the mass of Rus
sian society than tbe savagery with
which the contest between the Uov
ernment and the revolutionary party
is being carried on.
On tbe one hand the infamous at
tempt made a few months ago on the
me ot the uzar seems to have pro
voked tbe authorities to surpass any
thing previously Known in the way
of repressive vigor.
The prisons are everywhere filled
with people, most of whom have been
arrested on mere suspicion at tbe ar
bitrary discretion of the military gov
ernors or provinces. In tbe large
towns the police regulations are so
numerous and so minute that to peo
ple accustomed to the institutions ef
free countries like ours, existence un
der them would be Bimply intolera
ble.
Among recent items of news from
Russia are such incidents as the
summary expulsion from Moscow, by
the order of the Governor General, of
all tbe pawnbrokers and usurers in
the city ; the prohibition by General
Todleben, Governor of Odessa, of all
collections of money for aay profess
edly charitable or relations object
without official ssanctior ; a demand
on the railway companies to furnish
to the authorities lists of tbe Christ
ian and surnames of all parscus in
their employ, accompanies by aj or
der not to take anvbody ijto their
eervicejwithout formal official permis
sion previously obtained ; and the in
flection of heavy penalties on persons
who, even ia provincial towns, have
dared to let lodgiLgs to stranzers
without giving information to the po
lice.
On their part, the revolutionists dj
not appear to be discouraged by the
frantic exertions and appalling sever
ities of the Government They have
abandoned for the time the practice
of assassinating objectionable o fe
cials ; but the method of warfare they
have substituted for it is even more
terrible. They hare resorted to
wholesale incendiarism.
Within the past few months entire
towns have been devastated by fires.
An official return states the number
of conflagrations throughout the Em
pire in toe single month of June to
have been 3,501. Only about a sev
enth of these fires are attributed to
incendiarism, but it may be safely
assumed that this is far too low an
estimate.
Tbe most startling instance of the
audacity of the incendiaries and of
the fierce hatred of the old order of
things which animates them, has only
just been reported.
A few Cays ago an attempt was
made In broad daylight to burn down
the Kremlinjat Moscow a place that
has hitherto been regarded as sacred
to patriotic Russians. There is, in
fact, war to the knife between the
Russian revolutionists and the Gov
ernment, and it seems to te cnlr too
apparent that all the repressive' pow
ers the latter can bring into play are
inadequate to tbe task of crashing
the enemies of tbe existing system

Harper's Wzkkly.1
Mr. Henry James, Jr.'s "Daisy
Miller" and "An International Epi
sode," have occasioned a droll discus
sion in some English papers upon the
relative social courtesy toward each
other of Americans and Englishmen.
It is alleged that, a a rule. English
men are more hospitably received ia
America than Americans in England,
and we remember at a dinner given
in New York to an English author to
have heard from a very eminent
American author the remark tbat
there was no literary man in America
who would be so honored in Esg
land. But this was hardly true.
Tbe form of honor might possibly
differ ; but there Is no doubt that
Prescott and Motley and Longfellow
and Emerson, to go no farther, were
as sincerely welcomed and honored
in England as any English author
has been in this country. Dickens
and Thackeray appealed directly to
the public as readers and lecturers,
and there was a good deal of amus
ing extravagance in our first recep
tion of "Box." On tbe other hand,
there can be no complaint of coldness
in Mr. Fronde's compliment to Mr.
Bret Harte a, the lata dinner in
London.
The difference that is remarked it.
however, very intelligible. There
are three reasons that English hospi
tality should be unlike ours. One it
tht greater national reserve of tem
perament ; another, the classification
of English society ; and a third, the
immense numbers of Amencans who
go abroad. The Englishmen whe
travel in America are generally not
always, of course, and not including
the commercial travelers men of
education and leisure, whose visit to
America is a part of their education,
and who are agreeable social com
panions. If, like Dean Stanley, they are
somewhat distinguished, we lionize
them generously and good-humored-
Iy. The reporters take good care to
inform us that the Duke of Argyl sat
in the pilot house of the steamer irom
Portland, and expressed bis pleasure
in tbe Bcenery, and his intention of
calling upon Mr. Longfellow. If the
reporters do this to gratify an interest
in the duke because he is a duke, it
is something that we can not post to
oar credit ; and England has kept the
account even by the reports about
General Grant
An American who is well intro
duced socially in England is undoubt
edly received with charming courte
sy, as an Englishman with similar
introductions is received in this coun
try. It is a mistake to suppose that
an American is regarded in England
as "queer" because he is an Ameri
can, while, naturally, slight differen
ces in points of etiquette and social
habits are more observable in those
who are generally of the same race
and who speak the rery same lan
guage. Young ladies like Daisy Miller.
howerer clever and innocent, are in
evitably odd to those who are nsed
to less careless and familiar manners,
and young gentlemen like Lord Lam
beth are ratber eomical in a society
which is nsed to early rlererness and
self-possession. If such a gentleman
is more rapturously received by New
port than such a lady by London, it
is not necessarily a reproach to Lon
don. . An American senator might be
very angry with an American minis
ter in England for not inviting him
to meet lords and ladies ot high rank
at dinner. But it is not at all clear
tbat an American gentleman enter
taining a nobleman of high rank at
dinner would necessarily invite tbe
senator to meet him. Undoubtedly
an American mother would instantly
call upon an English lady arriving ia
the country who bad received ber son
in England as kindly at Lord Lam
beth was received in America by
Mrs. Westgate ; aod certainly it was
with great difficulty that Lord Lam
beth's mother, the Duchess of Bays
watei, was persuaded to call upon
Mrs. Westgate in London. Bat un
doubtedly, also, she would have re
fused positively to call upon an Eng-
ish lady, however kind she may have
been to her son, whom the duchess
believed was trying to catch bim for
her sister, whfch she believed wss
Mrs. Westrate's purpose. The di fli-
culties'tbat Americans observe in
English society tre mainly due to
caste, of which in this country we
know nothing. Bat we repeat we
doubt if any properly introduced
American has any just reason to eom
plain of his social reception in Eos-
and.
