' Verr ol.en I tm interviewed, in a social way, lor mj opinion i on American girls as e- do pared with the French, Italian and Ejalish. Tnis matter I propose to trest as well as I can in a brief articie. It is a delicate question, bat I do cot iaiend to dode ir, to pick phrases, or in any way seek to vmor national prejudices or individual ttneeit. Yet 1 shall speak, in all love, as Jjq 11 sincerity. American yonnz ledies of good socinty are I etter educated, mentally and morally, tl an the French and Italian girls are ore frank aid truthful; they have more ta'ett tnd 1es tact, are more amiable and 1 polite, mote kto wir? and lss deep, lutii; unworldly and les devoat. They M-f V.'lghter, smarter, more piquinte aud titacLus thnn lvjjtln girl, and would be mich prttiier had they in ,ace and form iLewaim, pure eolorieg, the firm, fall contours in short, the blooming, glowing, abounding health of the daughters of "the tnug little isle." This as a general thing American girii lack and always will, as lung as tbey abstain from Ion; walks, ltnpriscn their waists in tight corsfts, and their feet in tight shoes, bake or simmer In moEStroutly over-heated room?, and riotously indulge In conftctionery. An Eoglis a gentleman, a middle-aped M. P., once told me that on his first visit to Anwlc, a your ß country woman of mine kindly gave btm some memoranda to aid htm in sifthtsetirg and shopping In Naw York, ending, to bis great amusement, with this irutorunt direction, "For candies, go to Jlnyler's." Fcr scrxe years pait tte sur posed typicil and rtprtsJUia.ive Annricin girl Das b ?en er popular m c-rul i fas li-jntb'e Lindon cnces; her frebr.e;s, her originality, hr gayety, her independence, not to ?ny aaJa:i!y,"farn.Bhtn a frequnt saucaf ir jdd social appetites, on wnich the m jd--st airs, the staid good breeding, th grave chef rfulntsi and quia reliceae cf Kiuliah maidens have pilled. I must say tuat I have been thoroughly a'.totbbed at hearius quoted as "good t bines" some cf the lively tallies of these ouog America a "nt2h-flyers at fashion." It termed to me that toiogs so ruuh, yet bo tut, so senseless and slangy, could only bare Deen uttered by fools, and f jr foo's. Tea. they have bee calmly said and eraCiout'y applauded 'r roves the power of btaaty aud fiihiuu. To a young Kjglishman, who l.a I bepn retdiht.(t some cf tie audacious bun-mots ot a crtia "transatlantic telle," aud describing some, of tier wtartLnr eccentricitifP, I s.iid, Is it possible tLai yen prefer girls cf that style to jour sisters, for instance?" "No, not exactly, but to other fellows' s'stcra, yes. Thty take one's breath away occasionally, especially when tbey are ta'ktngto a crowd, laying stunning thicks in a peculiar American tone, yon know : but they are original ; they give one anew sensation; in snort, ttey are awfully jolly." On the closing night of Mr. Irving's last London season, I had the i'l lortnne to be Hated in a Lyceum stall just in front cf a iAt countrywoman of this description, fche waa young, pretty, aod "stylish, ' bat in conversation she was silly and "awfally" audible. All through the entra-act3, und every now and then during the p'ay, ehe discoursed with, or rather to, "dudish" youth at her right, scarce giving a look or a word to the miek mother at her left. Htr bi&h-pitcbed provincial voice bad remtrkabie carrying power. A bcom of people turned to tlx on her curious or annoyed glance?, but she to k all re rd 8 tributes to h?r prettinf ss and piqa tit pr ttle, tossed her dainty head, and twanged away. EnglUb. giiis are the m?st undemonstrative and unassertive creatures living, hiving m ihem wrnlfar a'jvness and resjrvs t. way of half-eflacing themselves in generl.1 society. They seem without ambition ' r fecial distinction, bat are Bel lorn lack ing in the discharge of any social duty. Americans privilege to visit in EngUbh homes soon rccoexize tae pecalwr house bold virtues, the gentle domestic arts and f ccomplishments of Esgliah girls. We see them assisting the mother in the duties tnd cares of hospitality, but never seeking o deprive her of Its dignities. They are ter lieutenants. Their faith in and ad mi' iciion for their big brothers may seem to us exces&ive (brothers count for so mach hi KDgland), DQtthtif filial devotion.de fcrentm 1 aud unquestioning, is something btautuul and touching to such visitors a kr ow little except through tradition of that aruiqie calu .bnjmsü elrls are won derfully cheerful, if not exactly cheery b--ires. It takes very little to make ta rn hippy. They extract enjoyment from toe drjeat sort cf entertainments, such as sohmn ecclesiastical garden parties, and monster receptions of scientific societies, and those dull old dresa parades, though midsummer fetes, in the Royal Botanical Girdens. The only social aftair at which the healthy cheerfulness of a nice English rtrl la too sorely tried, is just a dancing party, when she finds herself, through a s:aicity of partners, compelled for a time to plsy "wall-flower;" for the nice English fill dearly loves to dance. Providence may not have dowered her with dainty feet. and the British shoemaker may have wrcnght ber cruel wroDg, bat she a-Jores a ball all the tame. Sue is dressed for it In the traditional white gown, with low neik and short sleeves, is frilled and lloanced and flowered all over, and is a pretty, pa thetic figure as she sits b?side ber rno'her, S'lr:t, wisifal, despondent and chilly. Bat when, at last, a personao.e partner appears. bows, and leads ber to a place In a sat beins? formed, she smiles, she flashes, the dimples come and go, her impatient foot pata the fioor; sne Is shyly triumphant: sne is denpdown b SDP v the nice English girl! Bit fond as she is of this amusement, when ttere la dancing at her own house, she will heroically refrain, while one, the lsst of ber ladf enesti. is lacking a putner; and this reminds me of the behavior of a young American a beauty and an heiress at a dancire-rarty given for her at the house of a relative her home for the time. Eng lish and French joqor ladies present wer indignaat and astonished at her not only failiDg to present partcers to them, bat being always on the floor herself. American eirls were indignant, bat not astonish ed. Space was limited, tnd the number of dancicz young men also, so more than one young ldy's tnru never came. At sapper it was the same. The queen of the fete was rrrved erst and last, and most boanteonsiy, I-)T ninrn exercise bad given her ai appe tite. Yet he was capriciou?, and kept half a tiri:en ma! admirers "pleaaarln? her Sh'd'j whiai." It ws apretty s'gt.

Af.er some rf-ctnt observttioa. I am really lue! iced to fear that there is taking place in many American h lines not only a dec! co in old-fashioned domeetic.tr, but a certain disintegration ot the ftmily as a federated body.

I have described the ways of English g'.rls towsrd their guests, and the aid ard camfort tb y are to their mothers "on hospiU ble Cf res intent." As it I), "English von know," I wender cur g:rls do not i jiiUte this virtue and this grace. At the receptions of a certain brilliant and amiable ldy ot society, the prttty and accomplished daughters of the house seldom appear, or, If they do so benor mamma and mamma's friercs, they are likely to disappear saddejly and nnceremonionsly, going out to seme o'her entertainment, or calmly g ir g to ted, 1 3 s cure for the sake ot their dtlicat complexions a good "beauty siep," leaving a crovd cf people on mamma's bands. Happily that clsvr lady is equal to them. I remember the receptions of another brilliant American lady at which a gsy and att: active yourg daaghter always appealed in dazz trg toilet, but chose only to entertain one cla.-s of gueett young gentlen.cn. These she soon githced aoont her, end held a little tide court in a boa-doir-like parlor, a ccurt at which it seemed tacitly understood, "No ladies need apply," for none, however youog or fair, frequent

When the tin e for breaking up arrived, the yourg lady smilingly came forth, sayirg adieu to her friends, blUsfully uncon scious cf havlrg in her eagerness to secare a "good time" for herself been guilty of ditcourtf cy laid herself open to the vaue but awlul imputation of "oa! form " buch "tricss aud manoern" nonld seem to indicate both a want cf good breeding ant Ipond ftellng, but lu the InbUnc-s 1 have given, ocarttg in households of re cnement and calture, 1 would tarJly characterize them to b&rthly.

Martin, a Republican, who has been Postmaster atOdkrord, Howard Coin tv, for come years, is in trouble. Mr. Marlin, wnb abundant appreciation or a good thirg, was not disposed to surrender h:sofhcial robes when the change 01 a J ministration occurred, aud as Democrats are a trifle scarce in tb a, immediate neigh borhood. the nonor and emo!amens of the office were not in great demand. Last August, however, a reg'stered Utter was received from the Pustciiice De; rtmeutat "Washington for John Croussore, a democrat, containing a orrmision for him to hold theomce. trou sore, wao wss a resident of Kokomo, had signified his willsngness to goto Oat ford and open a I ore proviced be could seen re tbe omce. and tcrough the enjrts of political friends, who believed that to the victor belong the spoils, the appointment was secured for him. Doubtless surmising the character cf the letter which by mistake was sent to Ovkford instead of Kokomo, Postmaster Martin made no el'ort to deliver it to Mr. Croussore, but allowed it to remain among the uncalled' for letters until early last month, when an investigation by the department disclosed the state of affairs. The recent grand jury of the united btates v strict uourt indicted I'ostmester Martin fcr unlawfully de'ain lng the mail, and he was arrested yesterday by one of Marshsl Hawkins deputies. He gave bend for his appearance before Jude Woods. Tbe penalty for such a violation of tbe postal laws is imprisonment not to exceed six months, to which may be added fine in any sum not exceeding S.00. A conviction would alpo disqualify him for boldinp the office of Postmaster for the rest of his life. Something "Startling" Expected. Kokomo Diip&tch.

This department is a little overcrowded just tow, at a time when every miu who has learned to read aud write, and is not under contract to tell war aioriea by the ndle, is vsritir g columns of Instructions to other literery people. Telling tham what, tew, when, aud whore tj write. Bjth tUse Ins ructions appear to miss ail the trial loiLts, to which I now direct the attention of all people who alai to excel in lütrai y work. -A littrary man requires a great d ;al or tlcep. So dues his readers. If the author can kep fen bours a dy, his retders, under tae law for the prevention of cruelty to Liiiitil , are entitled to elcv.-n. A id they oupbt to take it, toj, every time tey pick up bis beck. . i aaa tJi ah tLings tne antnor snonia oe care ful cf bis bruin. It should not be uied at all fcr twelve bours before going to b.-d, tor between meals. In writing for the stage, ttcald the work in band be an American society drama, the brain of the writer should not be used at all. Then the people who go to see the play will not b-tve to use ttelra either, if they are foolish enocgh t take them to the theater with them. In wriiing a tragedy, great cire mttt be taken in the selection of a good stage carpenter, after which the au'.hor may go to sleep. About an hour and a half a day is as lor.g fes a: y literary mm should wirk. i on should rise come urn ? in the morntng, nibble a fw biscuit, and down a cap of cofVe, and then go back to bed aud think cntll you fall asieen. Then rise again ard tale a good hearty breakfast. After break-ls-i (ju cot go to work, out lie on your beck on tbe sofa, and rer.d until luacheon isanronnced. A literary man or wotnvi eeqnires a great deal of food. After lancbeon walk around in tbe garden or swing in a hammock, or recline lu an easy chir until dinner-t rue, say 3 o'clock. Avoid sudden exertion, it is apt to develop u art disetie. Do ntt attempt to do any work immediately after diuner Uo to jonr rcom and lie dovn. If you are a emekr, a good cigar be'ore you nap will d-j no harm, if jou will be careful ta smoke another one Immediately after it. "After the nap or tbe cigar?" Both, my son. Yoa shoull now reit until tea time, at C cr 7 o'clock. If yon have any regard for yoar health, you will do no literary wort between tea and supper time. Go to the theater tsd er joy a nap, or lounge about the 1 ouse, or lie down and nt a little. If you ft-f 1 a bit hungry a light luncheon will not spoil jour supptr. In aot a literary perse n cannot be too careful in this matter ef revlctuaHng Nicslcs. Always keep a pot of coilee, or a kettle of clam chowder, or some beef tea, or seme hearty soup sizz'lng on the stove. ready to ?our hand and moutn at a minute's warring. Always lie down and rest after eating anything. Bapper should be ea'en just belore going to bed. bjmethine hearty and substantia, for you hav3 bad a wearing day. For your life's stke do XiOt do any worst after sapper, bat pa rif ht to bed and try to get a little rest. If jou feel wakeful during the night get up and take a little nourishment. You can not expect to write with a starved brain. And bear n mind, that to the literary man. tleep is as essential as food, hat as much as you sleep. "Bat." you est, "all this eating and sleepirg does not leave me any time for writing? ' "My son, you have the ear mar xs oi genius, l didn t think there was so mucn in job. "And newspaper men ' you say. "Oh, well, if you want to be a newspaper man, yen must learn to eat on the run, work e'.hteen bours a day, and devote the rest of the time in getting rid of your salary. I trouRht you only wanted to be a journalist or bometing of that sort." THAT KOELE ANIMAL, MAN. Dearly beloved, it. is natural for weak, finite man to turn to the clown for funny things, but really some of the funniest things yon read falls from the pen of the wieeman. Now read this I don't kaow who wrote it. I find it in a "religlo philo sophical" psper, but if it doesn't make you emlie vou are devoid or the sixtn seas "When one comes in ein at oi tns nooier aide of humanity it is m longer ft furpriso that Christ suffered mar ttrdom for the race." Xow. it was a man who wrote that: no woman ever sat a such a thing; it wns a man, and if that man eces to heaven he will be bitterly ais appointed if a delegation of angels and all the apostles do not meet mm ten miles outtide tbe gate with an address of welcome end the freedom of the city In a go'd bax. We are a nice lot of fellows for a uol to sutler martyrdom for. Says this same complacent man: "Haman beings are all light: we are simply darkened by the shadow of a Bocial system that offers a premium upon onr worst traits, and de liberately crushes the nobler part of us." Ob. yes, we are all tight, aren't we? We are naturally, preternatural ly, suiernatctrally. angelically cwd, bat the shadow of a social system s ofltrs premiums" and "crushes" us; a right bealtby "ohadow" that combines the functions of a county fair and a stonebreaker. How good we are by nature, i ju have to teach the lisping child bis prayers, but be learns to lie naturally at home, and learcs to swear th4 first day he gore to school. He hates his lessons and he loves to sb. lie plays "hookey" and runs away from Sunday School, even as he runs to the circus. The man forgets the text before the sermon is half tbrougb, and hs forgets the sermon next day, but he re members every word of a vile story f :y years. He growls about the water rate, but pays for his whisky without a mirmer. The State has to keep up whippingrests to keep him from beatiag his wife; t maintains almshouses for his neglected rarentsand asylums for his abandoned children; it builds jails to keep him from stealing, penitentiary to keep him boneat, callows to keep him from murdering, and but for the terror of bell fire he wouldn't try to go to heaven. Oh, yes, man. generally considered, Is a sweet bird, and when we come to look at it, the raoCDQf erred an undying honor upon itaStvior in permitting Hun to become a martyr for a crowd of such exalted beings. All that ails ns is the "shadow of a social system" that we by the way, who established that social system the angels, or these magnifi cent humen beings" with a trunk full of "nobler part?" ON A TOBOGGAN SLIDE.

Tbe toboggan is a Bled with single runner, which spreads clear across the bottom of tUtled. Tbe top of the toboggiu is juet like the bottom. It ia somewhat

Th il vine machine ie not high, so yen haven't very far to fall. if yon have to fall from a totoppsn half way down the slide, or elss sail down stairs with a kitchen stjve, you take tbe stove and the stairs every time. It itn't so exciting, and it isn't so soon. A friend and I a few days ago walked up tae stairway of a Canadian slid: for the parpcee of trying the toboggan sensation. The pmident of the club took his pla;e aft, and somebody said "Let her go." Then we stopped, and the president said, "How did we like it?" I left my breath at the top of tbe slide, and we bad to go up and get iL The toboggan is to any other way of getting down hill what flying is ta going to sletp. If I was in a hurry, and it was Conn hill all the way, I would rather have a totcgjsn than a pir of wings, any day. P. 8. There is usually an angel on the tob Of Kin itb you, which has a tendency to confirm the impression that you are going down with wings N. It A voung Canadian of broad ex

perience asiures me that Toronto angels really and trully have wings, insomuch 1 that often be hai to drive with one hand, using his other arm to hold the angel from Lying away. Addenda.! have known the same thing to teppen in the United States. ( E.N ERA L IGKORAM E.

"Why do the boys leave the farm?" wails a writer in an agricultural journal. Well, dear brother, there are several rcators. One is because the boy is not Bixtyfive years old at his birth. Then, if there is a boe on the farm weighing fourteen ounces, bright as nickel-plate, and sharp as a razor, and another hoe weighing somewhat less than a breaking plow, with an edge on it 1 ke a hammer, and a sapling with tbe bark oi for a handle, the hired man takes one and tbe boy gets the oth9r, and every man in America koows which is the other. Did you ever stand with such a boe in jour hands away down in a corn row on some airless, still, hot summer day, twenty acres of corn-blades aud tassels wilting about you, standing fourteen inches higher than your head, shutting oat every last trace of breathable air. and then hear a locust down in the edge of the tinibfr strike up his long, strident montonoas call to make it tn times hotter? And all this time a cool creek, not a m'laawiT, loitering in deer, silent pools in shady places In tbe woods, or broking into mer ry dancicg ripples over the pebbles? Aod In the big deep bole?, the fib just lying arour.d waiting for a boy? Well, then, yon know wby some boys leave the farm. Still, boys can be kept on the farm aod made to slay there all their lives. You drive a long spike through a boy's abdomen end tbrouich a lve-oat tree, and clinch or bolt It on the other side and then saw off the boy's lfg, aod break his back, and he will stay on the farm. Yes, tbere are some other ways we know, but this is the only infallible method. A GIRL OF GOOD REPORT. Ob, peerles. mateh'et. maid nf mine! Oh, wiu-blrg girl, of chrm divide. All other nymphs thou dost outshine lu roaring beauty superfine ! Iiond rings tbe finger of thy flt. And sturdy cuffs adorn thy wrist; With many a wave your hair you twist.

Ro the reading ha i to be put off. The production of this sime play was ceiayeu nccki iuu nwks u-c ao the tragedy queen peremptorily refused to act with M, Volny, for whom 8rdou had written a part. Bhe objected to Volny, not on account of the actor s youthful appsaranc. assbe alleged, but bemuse she is convinced that ha ha the ' evil eye." When liicheptn'a Macbeth" was brought out some time ago o-i tbe same stage at Forte Kt. Martlu, tbe' divioe Strau" hid a notion that tb- pNyirg or singing of the witches' muiic wonld certainly en.ail mlrfortute UP"n bfr; consequently, sue otter conii osidon had to Uie its place.

Fron erre cause she displays a pos'tive horror for anything of saflron tint an antipathy that is shared, to some extent at least, by a large number of people on the stage. Mile. Fart et, who succeeded Mme. Sarah Bernhardt at the Comedie FrancaUe, when tbat blazing meteorite vacated the Hue de Richelieu, is not exempt from similar weakness. Mile. Btrtet says tbat it bringt b d lick to look out upon the audience irom tbe left side of the curtain when it is down; and Mile. Keichemberg, one of tbe 5 out gest and most charming of the noted actrestes at tbe same house, either from spite or c-.invictioi. Is as f ally persuaded tbat the ifcht Land is the unfortunate side. The inevitable result is that there is always something of a tussle between them when both meet at the round hole in the middle ot the curtain. Nor ihüst tbefcft charges be laid at the door cf young aclre sei only. Anais Far gueil, the celebrated comedienne, whole now in ber sixty-eight year and tbe dayeLne among her sisters ot the Paris stage, is ro far privileged as to possess a bona fide birth caul, which she carries wherever she goes, believing that it shields her from a violent death. She was born in the one she carrits and would not part with it on any account It is her g'.s, ber palladium. Ehe bugs it close whenever she hears a dog bo lor the cock cr;w at midn'.ht, or wt en the death-wa'ch ticks in the wainscot. Another retire! ac.r-? hd a Dculiirity worth mentioning This actress was Mile. Pomseil. She invariably wept on foot to tbe theatre by tbe fame road she to jk tbe first time. This once well-known tragedienne was born at Niort, in 1st 1, and is now forty-six years of sge. Marie Laurent, who was born to 1S2i, and who, in her sixty first year, is still ccounted a "fctar" at the Ambigu, apprehends trouble and disaster whenever the curtain, having started on its ascent, is .. lowed to return to the lloor; and Ml! Agar, who so bravely sang the "M tri' lalse" at the Palace of the Tull -rlea during the Commune, while tbecanuon b mt its awful music from Mount Va'erien. is sorely troubled and perplexed if, at rehearsals, she finds an odd or an even (no matter which) number of nails lying about tbe stage; for then she knows she is going

to be sick before the end of her engagemtnt. "When Tiaby was sick, we gave her CMtorla, When she was a Child, she cried fur Cantoris, Wben tho became Miss, ab clang to Caatoria, When she bad Children, she care litem Cabtoria, Not nn Kipvrt nt I'uker.
