AMERICAN "COURT CIRCLES."

Foreign and Native Graces.

A late number of the Loudon Saturday "Review" has «ome pretty sharp comments, written from a monarchical point of view, touching a volume entitled "Court Circles of the American Republic." The object of the book, as avowed by the authoress, is "to exhibit the statesmen, leading ladies, etc., of the Republic in their drawing room aspect." Tue book, which is probably a quite rdthfUl description of "Court" society in our Capital, sets forth our foolish and growing tendency to ape the manners, habits, and pageantries of the mossgrown monarchies of an older civiliza* t'.on. The Review is nothing if not se yore, but it is a question if its severest comments under this head are not justified by the facts: The same vanities, ambitions, and jealousies, the same passion for personal display and prodigal rivalry in millinery and upholstery, which are supposed to be characteristic of aristocratic society, appear to agitate the celestial sphere of which the Presi dent of the United States is the centre. It ia somewhat curious to find the Americans beginning to relish the parade of a Court at the very time when the old country is being taught to dispense with one altogether.

The first President of the Republic •was a stickler for official ceremony, although nothing could be plainer or simpler than his private lite. He had always six horses in his coach when ho went to the Senate. At his levees he only bowed to his visitors with stiff solemnity, and rarely, if ever, shook hands. The entree to his wife's drawingroom was very exclusive, and all who came were bound to appear in full dress. T9a and coilee with cake were the only refreshments on these occasions, which were denounced by severe patriots as "introductory to the paraphernalia of Courts. "At Washington's first official entertainment the company dined on boiled leg of mutton after the dessert a single glass of wine was offered to each guest, and the General then led the way to the drawing-room. Under John Adams thd social arrangements were much the same as under his predecessor. Jeflerson absolutely dispensed with state and ceremony of every kind. When he went to the Capitol to be installed as President, his dress was of plain cloth, and he rode on horseback without a single guard or even servant in his train ne dismounted without any assistance, and "hitched the bridle of his horse to the palisades. "He shocked the diplomatists by his unceremonious habits. One of them was horrified to find him one day preparing to polish his own boots. Mr. Merry, the English Minister, going in full dress to be formally introduced to the President, was received by him "not meiely in an undress, but actually standing in slippers down at tlio heels, and both pantaloons, coat, and under clothes indicative of an indifference to appearance," which Merry regarded as a studied affront, and was very nearly making a national quarrel of it.

One of JefTorson's first decrees was tho abolition of all levees. His two public days for tho reception of company were the 1st of January and the 4th of July, when his doors were thrown open to all who chose to onter. At other times visitors had no difficulty in seeigg: him privately. This departure from the old system was warmly resented by the fashionable ladies who, affecting to ignore the abolition of lovees, attended in large party at the President's house on the usual night for a reception. Jefferson, returning from a ride, and learning what company awaited him, went to them immediately, hat in hand, with his spurs on, and soiled with dust. He declared himself overjoyed at such a happy coincidence as the arrival of so many visitors at the same time, and was extremely attentive and polite, pressing every lady to remain as long as possible. Ills guests, however, did not repeat the experiment. Madison was a little man. with no preseneo, but his wife's "stately and Juno-like figure,towering abovb the rest of the ladles," must have compensated for his Insignificance. This majestic creatufo continued to the last to wear a green shawl and a lofty turban but It Is added that she took snuff from a box of lava or platlna—never from gold, which would probably have been deemed too tnonarchlal.

Monroe somewhat revived the strict etiquette of the early Presidents. On ono occasion he refused admission to a near relative who happened not to have a new suit of small clothes and silk hose in which to present himself. The social aspects of John Qulucy Adams' administration are described in enthusiastic terms. The cake, ooffee, ice creams, sangarees, negus, and other hot ana cold liquids often cost as much as fifty dollars a night. Aftor a time the famous East Room was thrown open, and dancing introduced. General Jackson's hospitality was really free and lavish, and OMt hfm annually a large share of his ootton cotton crop, in addition to his salary. At ono of his suppers sixteen hundred guests were computed to have been pr»«9ent. A great many people caino without invitations and pushed their way in. As tbe President was leading a lady to supper, the mob swept him a*idp. "This is the first time," he exclaimed, "that' I- was ever shut out from my own table, and it shall be the last." At these entertainments tbe hungry cmwils rushed at and stripped tho salvers in the corridors long before they reached the supper room. It was not suprising that towards tbd end of bis administration the President was obliged to giro up the habit of offering refreshments. It has never been resumed. It is not, however, the good eating and drinking, but free admission to the highestsociotv in tUelr country, which the Americans prl®. Tbe Delaware bntch«rs whom lyleT had askod to dinner expressed the sentiments of thi-

great body or Bls cohntrfmen, when ho slant*d bf« slapped of a R^p

host on tbo back as his ideal ^publican President, exclaiming: "YonVe niado me feel as If 1 were in my own house." And the odkriai men always take care to play np to or down to this feeling. "Never mind," said Harrkon to a man whom be had fallen in with on tbe street, and taken home to breakfast, but who hesitated to go in, 2 when he found that his new friend was the President, "never mind, jron'rea man, and so am I.« You are one of tbe people, and I am their servant, and their «tenant in this house. I shall therefore regard it as an honor to have one of nijr landlords as my guost.

exhausting even to a quon

rail-splitter,

though he conao ed

himself with the reflection that the ladies' hands did not hurt him. The social depression of the war was followed not unnaturally by a reaction when It was over. The fashionable season oi we are told, was almost a carnival Washington appeared to have gone wild. There was a substantial foundation for the oomplaint of the mixed character of the people who were now met everywhere in company. The "accession to society of many families sud' denly grown rich," as our author ele gantly phrases it, or in other wotds, the sudden rise of unscrupulous speculators who had gained enormous profits by "shoddy contracts" and other swindles, degraded the moral tone of society,while it encouraged a reckless prolusion and vulgar display of wealth.

ANEW DEPARTURE.

A lady correspondent thus discourses: The great want of women at present is money, money for their personal wants, and money to carry out their plans. I propose tnev shall earn It that tbey shall consider it as honorable to work for money as for board, and demand for them equal pay for equal work. I insist that the bearing and rearing of children (the most exacting of employment, and involving the most terrible risks) shall be the best paid work in the world, and that their husbands shall treat their wives with at lease as much consideration, and ack nowledge them entitled to as much money, as wet nurses." The meaning of all this is, that wives are about to strike for greenbacks, so much for every baby born. No greenbacks, no more sons and daughters no greenbacks no more population, no more boys to carry on the great enterprises of the age. The scale of prices for maternal duties as follows:

Girl babv, $100 boy, $200 twins, $300 both boys, $100 triplets, $600 triplets, all boys, $4,000. Terms, C. O. D. No credit beyond first chila. Motto: pay up, or dry up. Husbands who desire to transmit their names to posterity will please take notice, and take a uew departure.

PROS UNCI A TION. [Nation.]

Pronunciation, provided one avoids that of tbe confessedly illiterate, is an affair of only subordinate importance. Perpetually undergoing mutation, and its fashions not being so readily transmissible as tbe changes in written language, no one living at a distance from tbe center where it is determined should be severely censured if ignorant of its present standard. Viewed rationally, it is the most ephemeral of modes and under any but an historical aspect, as between the deeisions of veracious professors of it, those which were given last year may be of no more value in comparison with those given this year than a superannuated almanac. Excessive anxiety, or a habit of tinidal and

iperpunctillious exactingness, as with ference to dress, so with reference to pronunciation, is, moreover, an unfailing index of frivolity ancl little mindednese. For the rest, nowhere on earth, we suppose, is correct pronunciation necessarily a concomitant of good breeding, except in so far as good breeding is assumed to include good education. A different opinion has of late been industriously promulgated but we submit that it stands on much the same footing with the transcendental notion that the essence of gentlemanhood is wholly irrespective of 'oth knowledge and morality. Pronounce as a man may, at any rate let his attitude toward pronunciation be that of common sense, and free from an inflated egotism. Whether we exert ourselves or not, to follow the English in their utterance of the language which we share with them, we shall most assuredly do well in deferring to their example of good-natured tolerance of those whose elocution is not exactly to their own liking, and of checking a disposition, if it should arise, to draw censorious deductions from peculiarities which may perhaps be moro than compensated by merits we can ourselves make no pretension to.

WON'T WORRY YOURSELF. To regain or recover health, persons should be relieved from all anxiety concerning diseases. The mind has power over the body. For a person to think he has a disease will often produce that disease. This wo see effected when the mind Is intensely concentrated upon tho disease of another. It is found in the hospitals that surgeons and physicians who make a specialty of certain diseases are liable to die of ihem and the mental power is so great that sometimes people die of diseases which they only nave in imagination. We have s6en a person seasick in anticipation of a voyage boforo reaching the vessel. We havo known a person to die of cancer in tho stomach when be had no cancer or any other mortal disease. A blindfolded man, slightly pricked in the arm, has fainted and died from believing that he was bleeding to death. Therefore well persons, to remain well, should be cheerful and happy and sick persons shonld have their attention drawn as much as possible from themselves. It is by their faith that men are saved, and it is by their faith that ftien die. If he wills not to die he can often live in spito of disease and if he has little or no attachment to lifo be will slip away easily as a child will fall asloep. Men live by their souls, and «not by their bodies. Their bodies have no life of themselves they are only resources of lifi— tenements of their souls. The will has much to do in continuing the physical occupancy or giving it

Tins Reading (Pa.) Eagle's correspondent reports that as he was parsing tho farm of a wealthy Bethel township farmer, his attention was called to a woman in the distance who was following after a span of spirited horses attached to a large spiko harrow. As she approached nearer she was seen te be tbe daughter of tbe owner of the premises, a beautiful young lady of about nineteen summers. She was cbeerfaUy walking behind tbe harrow, in the plowed ground line in band, guiding the horsey and when she came to the fence a "JBetawoaV was uttered as clearly and distinctly as though she bad never done anything else bat drive team. Tbe Eagle repneentative appruaobed and remarked "that her worn waa bard for one of her sex," when she replied, "Oh, no I cheerfully do thin.** 8b® then said that she ruse a$ four o'clock in tbe morning, milked ten cows, fed the pigSj then helped to get breakfast ready, and by six o'clock went out latQ tbe damp field to complete her day's work. 'After a few remarks about toe tbe weather, etc., she tu and off she went across tbe fields.

HOME TEACHINGS.

Teaoh them that a true lady may be fqund In calico, quite aa frequently as in vdvet,

Teaoh them that a common school education, with common sense, is better than a college education without it.

Teach them that one good, honest trade, well mastered, is worth a doson beggarly "professions."

Teach them that "honesty is the best policy"—that 'tis better to be poor than to be rich on the profits of "crooked whisky," etc., and point your precept by examples of those who are now suffering the torments of the doomed.

Teaoh them to respect their elders and themselves. Teach them that, as they expect to be men some day, they oanno: too soon learn to protect the weak and helpless.

Teach them by your own example, that smoking in moderation, though the least of the vices to which men are nelrs Is disgusting to others and hurtful to themselves.

Teach them that to wear patched clothes is no disgrace, but to wear black eye" is.

Teach them that God Is no rqppecter of sex, and that when he gave the seventh commandment he meant it for them as we.l as for their sisters.

Teach them that by indulging their depraved appetites in the worst forms of dissipation, they are not fitting themselves to become the husbands of pure girls.

Teach them that 'tis better to be an honest man seven days in the week than to be a Christian one day and villian six days.

Teach them that "God helps those who help, themselves. Do all this and you will have brought them up "in the way they should go."

DISA GREEA BLE HABITS. Nearly all the disagreeable habits which people take up come at first from mere accident or want of thought. They might easily be dropped, but they are persisted in until they become second nature. Stop and think before you allow yourself to form them. There are disagreeable habits of body like scowling. winking, twisting the mouth, biting' the nails, continually picking something, twirling a key or fumbli at a chain, drumming with the fingers, screwing and twisting a chair, or whatever you lay your hands on. Don't do any of these"things. Learn to sit quietly like a—gentleman I was goin^ to say. but I'm afraid even girls fall into such trioks sometimes, There are much worse habits thau these, to be sure, but we are speaking enly of those little things that are only annoying when persisted in. There are habits of speech, also, such as beginning every speech with "you see," or "you know," "nowa," "I don't care," "tell ye what," "tell ye now," indistinct utterance, sharp nasal tones avoid them all. Stop and think what you are going to say, and then let every word drop from your lips as perfect as a new coin. Take care about your way of sitting and standing and walking. Before you know it you will find that your habits have hardened into a coat of mail that you cannot get rid of without a terrible effort

APROPOS of getting out of church, Dr. Edward Beecher tells this stoiy P. Wiflis and the Park Street Church, Boston: During a revival at Andever, Willis while laboring under great excitement, believed that he had become a Christian, and joined the church. After a few months he came to tbe speaker and told bim that he had made a mistake, and asked him if he could not be let out of tbe church. He laid the case before the church, but they went by the usage—letter, death or excommunication—and the speaker told him that if he wanted to leave the church he would have to do something so bad that he would' have to be put out. So the poet went to the theater, and that Was considered bad enough to excommunicate him, and Mr. Willis got his release.

UN1SHMENT OF A WIFE WHIP PER. An Attica, Ind. man, who was brought before tbe Police Court for whipping and ill-treating his wife, wasf lined $10, but he would not pay it, and said he would die before he would work on the streets. So the Marshal got a very large cannon-ball, chained it to bis leg, and locked it around a lamp post on a streetcorner after letting him stand there all forenoon, lie next rolled a store-box into the street and placed a chair on it, and the man, ball and all, on top of it, and let him sit there all the afternoon, with a placard with these words on it: "He whipped his wife." The man took it very coolly and philosophically, and made no answer to the jeers of the boj-s and the scorn of the people.

•JJ DISASTROUS ADVICE: A notowortby writer recently rushed into print in order to recommend everybody to lie in bed until a cup of coffee had"been prepared, and now we learn that there is no end to the domestic discord he has producod by his advice, because of tho heated discussions which have sprung up in order to establish who in tbe family should make that coffee. ,Another writer has also committed a similar indiscretion by advocating taking a morning nap. And now parents are writing to him from all sarters. saying that every boy in the households where the paper has been taken has read this article, and is rigidly conforming to it, whatever elso may be neglected In the way of good advice.

EASY SHOES.

The secret of an easy shoo is abroad sole, a broad, full upper, and plenty of room for the toes. Even a heel can be borne if these conditions are fulfilled, but as somebody says, if the L"rtl baa thought that tlio wisest position, he would havo put a projecting bone there that would have been permanent. Of course with the present standard of taste tho foot would not look as well, but that is a question of taste. In some African tribes tho women look best with a large brass or bone ring through a hole in the upper lip.

PEDRO, THE TURTLE. One of the oddest pets that over existed belongs to a little gii 1 in 71st street, A visitor met her at the gate last summer with what she supposed wasa lunch box under her arm. To the lady's surprise a snake-like bead ran out a little way from the lunch box, and the pet turned out to be a common mud turtle.

Some one bad brought tbe creature home, a year or so before, and let it loose in the garden.

When the children began to play there, out from its hole came the turtle and singling out this child gave evi dence of intelligence beyond belief.

The turtle was called Pedro, and the little girl bad but to call that name two or three times at the back door, to see the old box waddling up from tbe bottom of the garden—directly to her. Any one else approaching or attempting fa miliarities, the clumsy feet were drawn promptly in, and the wise old head retired within its shell and no sign of life would Pedro give.

But let the child take it, the claws closed round one of her fingers, and the head, run out to its fullest extent of neck, Would be waggled at her with every token of love a turtle could give.

There came a time during the summer when the little mistress was sick. The mother sitting in the dusk thought she saw a dark object moving in tbe room, and shortly after hearing a bumping on the stairs, went out and found it was Pedro returning to his hole in the yard.

Each day for weeks, with the opening of the outside door, in would walk Pedro. The girl generally found him waiting on the steps.

He would go to the stairs, stand upright in a corer and setting his little feet into the stair above pHll himself up. This operation he would repeat till he reached the landing. If the door into the 6ick child's room was closed, he waited patiently to be allowed to enter. When taken up and laid beside its mistress, it made no effort to move, but lay for hours with its solemn head wagging from side to side.

At night it waddled off to the stairs, aud then the racket commenced, as it fell off each step in clumsy fashion, sounding like that famous clock in the Ingoldsby legends that went hopping after Air. Ap Jones.

THE

old gentleman rnshed across tbe

street, raised his bat, and offered to assist in any possible way. His wife followed bim across at a slow pace, and witnessing his devotion to the stranger, she got mad and shook her fist at him.

It's all right—it's all right," he whispered. "Yes, I know it is," she hotly exclaimed. "Here an unknown woman stubs ber too and you plow across the street to eat her up with kindness. The other day when I fell down 'stairs you stood at the bottom and laughed, and chuckled, and tickled your ribs, and wanted to know if I was practicing for a circus."—[Boston Globe.
