natives in'England tlie example of the natives in India, who are instituting re-

forma iuLnegard to the cost of their marriage ceremonials. Extravagance in that particular is not confined either to India or England. We see a great deal too much of it in America. "One caste, the Kayattes,is stated to have become convinced of the folly of the practice, and have fixed a maximum which in future is not to be exceeded ." It will be some time, we fear, before Americans are as wise as the Kayattes. Certain it is, however, that there would be more marriages if economical habits before and after rendered marriage a less expensive luxury.

THKPOLITICAL SITUATION.

Speaker 1$initio's Lfettei- ol" Acoeptance to the Republican* of the Third, !#«'., Congrressional District. lion. James (j. .Blaine, in accepting the renomination for Kepresentative in t.'oiigress in the Third District of Maine, has written a letter presenting, in an able and forcible manner, the principles and progress of the Kepnblican party during President (I rant's administration, of which the following extract will be of interest:

During the 17 months of (Irani the public debt has been reduced from S2,025,413,290 to S2,.' 1GH,:324,47G( August i— S15(i,l,'3S,784—over $100,000,000 per annum. During the 17 months preceding (Irani, under Johnson dynasty, the public debt was increased SfiO.OOO,(Kit). Net under (Irani, the taxes have been reduced 1. Showing greater efficiency and honesty in the collection of the revenue and 2, the disbursement of money with greater care and fidelity. Contrasting the two periods, we see the difference to the Treasury in favor of Grant of ?18G,000,000, about $11,000,000 per month. .The Democracy had the Preside!)t, but a Republican Congress restrained that "famous" parly from further mischief. What would lliey not have done and do if they had full sway? .Mr. Blaine proceeds, in his canstic way, at length to review the evil deeds of the Democracy and its catering to the Southern idea of repudiation.

The Republican party is opposed to high taxation. Had the high rates existent at the close of the war been retained, the product would have exceeded $500,000,000, besides $200,000,000 from imports, (in gold.) Under Grant, thus the public debt, would have been extinguished, It would, however, have been oppressive and unjust to the present generation. At every session since the war closed Congress has reduced taxation by tens of millions. Duties on tea, coffee and sugar have been largely reduced, and the free list greatly extended. The internal revenue taxes have been swept away so clean that, of the enormous list imposed by the necessity of war only the following remain:

Tax on spirituous, vinous and malt liquors, Tax on tobacco and cigars, ..

Tax on incomes, Tax on national banks, Tax on gas, a-'uf.: cv.s Stamp tax. Xo one, Democrat or Republican, can find an easier mode, a smaller li3t, to raise the §125,000,000 needed. The Republican party is in favor of reducing the rate of interest, on the public debt, thereby saving millions to the people. Mr. Blaine refers lo the magnificent resources of the country and their enlarged prospect of development. Let tne entire debt be funded at four or four and a half per Cent. The total bonded debt will soon be reduced to §2,000,000,000. The expenses for the current year are reduced over lasi year S105,ol5,426 29, exclusive of the interest on the public debt and pensions to the maimed soldiers and the families of the de ceased veterans. For similar objects under Buchanan, when the Democrats were in full power, the same objects cost over $70,000,000 per annum in gold—equivalent to $85,000,000 in paper to-day. The population of the country was then less than 30,000,000, and now it is 40,000,OOd. Thus President Grant would be entitled by a ratio that lias always governed expendituies in this country to gpend a third more in the administration of the government than was required under Buchanan, bringing the sum total to 8114,000,000, when in reality it is onlv ^105.000.000. The details of expend! ture in the two periods show immensely in favor of President Grant's economy.

Under President Buchanan the annv consisted of nineteen regiments, costing for four years an average of over S^l, 000,000 per year, more than $1,000,000 per annum in gold, or about S?l,H00,00o in paper money of t^-dny for each reaiment. The army at present consists of forty regiments, and yet its whole maintenance for the year costs but $21,000,000, a trille over $700,000 in paper money to each regiment. This same honesty and economy is shown in all other branches of the Government, all the more praiseworthy and honorable in vifiv ofthe large amount.-- expended.

The Forty -first Congress is prui.- fd li.r its uork in lightening the burdens .if the people, the Democrats in the Senate and House resisting it and voting in solid phalanx against the bill making a reduction of duties on tea, coffee and sugar, and whereby a large free list \va added to the iaiiti and $GO.OoO ot the internal taxes entirely removed. Thev also voted against the bill which proposes to fund the public debt and reduce the imerei to lumper cent., and thus immensely decrease the annual charge upon the people. voted against

Mr. Blaine eulogizes the Republican party for its,glorious record. It is now in its tenth year of power. He traces its career from Lincoln's lint inauguration down to the present hour. In conclusion lie says:

11 is a fortunate circumstance that officers not on duty wear,

two gallant gentlemen wonld have cut eacli other's throatR on Monday, all in consequence of a pink slipper. Baron de is a very jolly bachelor, by no means a sworn brother of the Order of Malta, and although not a professional Don nan, still with a certain reputation for success among the fair ladies of the capital.

His intimate friend, Count de on the contrary, has the name of being a most devoted husband, although his wife's beauty is so great that there is little merit in his constancy. Notwithstanding this great difference in character and taste, these two gentlemen have long been inseparable, Madame always taking up the cudgel in behalf of her husband's friend whenever lie was attacked too warmly in her presence, and the Baron often remarking that lie would ranger himself as soon as he could find some one as lovely as the Countess.

Both of these gentlemen belong to the stall'of a French Marshal, who went to the tront oil Wednesday,and two days before went to 's lodgings on business connected with their campaigning arrangements. There was some little delay in answering his ring, and as he entered the drawing-room he heard the rustle of a silk dress as the opposite door was closed. Rather accustomed to such episodes at his friendVrooms, excused himself for this intrusion, and was about to withdraw, when suddenly his glance fell upon a tiny pink slipper lying close to the parlor door, which had evidently been dropped by the lair visitor in her precipitate flight. Hastily springing forward he snatched it. l'rom the ground, and saw, with horror, not.only the name of his wife's shoemaker, but also his own monogram. "Madame-de is in your roo he exclaimed, in a paroxysm of .jealous rage. "You are inaii!'' answered "I give you uiv word of honor as a, gentleman, that she. has never crossed my threshold: had she been here, most certainly yon Wonld not have been permitted to enter. The Count, however, would not be convinced, and with the accusing slipper in his hand insisted' upon being confronted with the lady who was in the inner room. (f course, the Baron said lie would die before he permitted this, and finallv bis visitor left the house, swearing that, 'bjood alone could wash out the outrage," etc., etc.

Jumping into his carriage, Monsieur de P- .,- drove home rapidly, anil burst like 'a mad bull into his wife's boudoir, where the lady was making up some lint for the patriot association.,!

"Where havq-von been?" he shouted'as he came in. "I t|iink yon had better answer that question," she replied very quietly. "I have not left the house to-day, while vou rash in here like a lunatic."

And then, after, a moment's silence: "But what are you doing with my slipper? Give it to me at onee. You are crumpling it up, so that I shall not be able to wear it." '"So you confess that it, is yours, madame?" "Most certainly, and I wish you would not twist it about so horribly." "Very well, Madame I found it at your lover's." "My lover's! Decidedly,

vion avii,

you

are ill. Shall I send for the doctor?", "I do not joke, Madame I found it at Monsieur de 's, where doubtless Its fellow is at present?' The Countess rang the bell, and bade her maid bring in her pair of pink satin Fenelons. A moment afterward three shoes were in the hands of the astonished Count. "But whose is the third one?" he said "it is your shoemaker's name, and even your monogram and coronet."

Madame de thought for an instant, and then laughed out heartily, as she answered: "I liave it. I sent back a pair last week because they were too large. You deserve, you jealous wretch, that they should fit me. Monsieur Jacob evidently has a customer who is less of a Cinderella than I am. Look for yourself they are are at least a size too long.

Confused and repentant, the Count fell at the feet he had so unjustly calumniated, and in a few moments returned to explain and apologize to his friend the Baron. "But my dear friend," he said, beg your lady visitor to change her shoemaker."

Searching, for the Site ol' King- Solo- ".... mon's Temple. The Hon. Richard Yaux, Past R, W. Grand Master of the grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, A. Y. M., in his valdictory address, stated that '"during- the past few years a scientific association in London lia voluntarily undertaken to institute discoveries on the site of King Solomon's Temple, lor the purpose of ascertaining what yet lemainsof ihe foundation and superstructure of that wonderful edifice. It is l.n-vouil doubt that enough has been dull* to .satisfy the Freemasons that the sacred ami profane history of ihis Temple i- eon oboratf d. When we hear from an eVciivilness that the stones of the .foundation, which have been brought to light, are each designated bv a aignilicunt mark, cut into each sl.oiie, which defied the learning of philologists and arclueologisLs, we are animated with a joy .in which onlv the Masons can pa lticipate. l-iiery ellin should be made to continue ihe-e explorations. Freeinaolis have a most direct interest iu theresuit. I, therefore invite niv brelliern, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the United Slates, .to lake such action as will supply with material aid these explorers, since the craft will be rewarded by evidences thus grasped from the destroying |Mwer of time, confirmatory of

there is springing up a school of ungracefulness and indelicacy, which, to my thinking, goes far to neutralize the good wrought by the former. Groups of sdrls travel daily from the country villages, three, five, ten miles over the steam and horse railroads, to normal and high schools of tlje city, and return at night. What is cause, and what is effect I do not know .but these girls sometimes conduct themselves so rudely as to force upon one the conviction that it would be better for women not to know the alphabet, if they must take on so much roughness along with it. Typical American girls, pretty, gentle-faced, intelligentlooking, well-dressed, will fill a car with idle, vulgar, boisterous chatter. Out of rosy, delicate lips come the voices—of draymen, I was about to say, but that is not true for the voices of these girls arc like nothing in the heavens above or the earth beneath. The only quality of womanliness thev possess is weakness. Without depth, richness, or force they are thin, harsh, inevitable. They do not so much fill the space as they penetrate it. Three or four such girls will gather face to face, and from beginning to the end of their journey pour forth a ceaseless torrent of giddy gabble, utterly regardless of any other presence than their own. They will talk of their teachers and schoolmates by name, of their parties and plans, of their studies, their dresses, their most personal and private matters, with an extravagance, with an incoherence, with an inelegance and coarseness of phraseology which is disgraceful alike to their schools and their homes. They will compel without scruple, and bear without liinching the eyes of a whole carriage-load of passengers. Indeed, the notice of strangers seems sometimes to be the inspiration of their noisy, unnielodions'clatfer. 'They apparently think that this is to be sprightly, arch, high-spirit-ed and winning, not perceiving that a really high-toned and high-bred girl wonld as soon jump over a stick" in a circus as turn herself into such a spectacle. There is nothing winning about it. The absolute extravagance and nonsense of it 'will sometimes excite a smile from thoughtlessness, but it is a smile less complimentary than a frown. No amount olj acquisition,, no mental training can atone for such demeanor. If the two arc incompatible it is better for a woman not to know the multiplication table than not to be gentlemannercd. If a wdmuil fs vulgarly lYm/tuncc, I lie more she knows the wovse.

Ifmity not be possible to make them talk scii.-c, but surelv they can be made talk nop.-eii-e gracefully, ^iot at all.can have iuuical voices but upon pain of death would have girls to speak low. Training can do much in the way of melody and sweetness but a voice that is softly modulated can not be violently disagreeable! Arid if a girl's tongue is incorrigible, let her be disposed of altogether.

The pronunciation and the rhetoric of these girls area disgrace to their elders. Words and syllable*? are clipped, twisted, run together, mingled, mangled and muddled into a dialect fit for savages. Girls who can read Virgil and calculate an eclipse, will employ in conversation a jargon that would stamp them with the stamp of intolerable vulgarity at any well-: bred "dinner table. What cruelty, what waste is this! It is so easy not to offend, it is hard not to be stupid. It is so unimportant to be learned, it is so indispensable to be well-mannered. Why give time and pains unmeasured to mental acquisition, and then neutralize it all by a ruffianly exterior? Why cast an odium upon education by associating it with uncouthness?

There are disadvantages worse than these, if anything can be worse, in sending girls to school over tlie railroads. They somehow become common. Thev cheapen themselves. They lose? if they ever possessed, they destroy before thev are old enough to feel, the divinity that should hedge a woman. Thev fall into I can hardly dignify it with the name of flirtation—but into a sort of bantering communication with unknown men, employes of the railroad and season travelers —a traffic which is fatal to dignity in woman, and inspires no reverence in man. And this passes for liveliness and attractiveness, or at most, perhaps, it is being a little wild. But it is a wildness which iris can not afford. Delicacy is not a thing which can be lost and found. No art can restore to the grape its bloom and the supreme charm of the grape is its bloom. Familiarity without love, without confidence, without regard, is destructive to all tbat makes woman exalting and enabling.

There are other displays of ill-manners whicb are almost incredible. Girls wil1. sit with their faces toward the passengers and eat oranges in the most sloven) v, biit the most unconcerned maimer, and then pelt each other with the bits of peel across the aisle. 'Tlu-y will scatter the crumbs and paper of their lunch o*er the tloor and sofas, have seen the clean, tidy waiting-room of the railroad strewn with peaniu sells—not always, 1 fear, by women young enough to be called girls. Such things are simply disgusting. leanliness, order, propriety, are not local or incidental qualities. Tliey are inherent, inbred. A iadv will doner be untidy in one place than in another.

Llow to |i»i)cure gratuitous advertising morality. Bashftilness is constitutional. is a question that puzzles many an acute mind. It is often procured in ways involving great ingenuity. The recent pursuit of an actress by a so called crazy woman is a neat example of this ingenuity. A "startling" account of the massacre of an entire troop of negro minstrels by Indians is another. So is that story about a dozen musicians falling into a cage of

wild animals belonging to a trav

eling show, and being devoured, bones and all. Some of the most interesting newspaper stories we tipd

through the country are nothing but gratuitous advertisements for busin&s enterprises. The trick is, however, getting stale, and losing its profitable effect.— Cin. Times.

Ignorance of etiquette is the-result of circumstances. All can be condoned, and do not banish man or woman from the amenities of his kind. But self-possessed,! unshrinking and aggressive coarseness of demeanor may be reckoned a State prison offense, several degrees worse than ninr« der, and ought to relegate its proprietor to the society of New York Lawvers.

The inability of Asiatics who are addicted to jossticks to bind themselves by Christian oaths was not even mentioned in the flow'of festive speech. Somebody in Congress, indeed carried an appendix to the treaty to the effect that it was not to naturalize any body but the fact was not remarked in the general hilaritv. We were all to go and make our fortunes by building railroads and telegraphs in China, and all to wear cheap grass-cloth jackets in summer, and pack our winter woolens in coniphor trunks.

This pretty dream Wits painfully brief.. Day before yesterday began to hobnob with Day after tomorro.v in a pleasant rural town in Massachusetts. But Day arter tomorrow was for handcuff's and tomahqu-ksrather than hobnobbing and the sitting down of .seventy-live Chinese on the shoemakers' benches of North Adams shook the whole eounlry. It was a very small detachment of the oppressed of other lands—a mere squad of the- victims of the effetest despotism of all: but many ol'the orators hastened to shut the gates iiftheir faces, and to declare that we didn't mean those particular victims, nor the oppressed of thai espucial despotism.
