English Soolety Fifty Years Ago j Dueling and intcmperencc were ap-1 parentlv two of the distinctions of an ' aristocrat. Brougham’s brother w-i* j 5*, { killed in a duel; Wellington ws-1 5( ; Prime Minister when lie challenged | 5t ; Lord Wincholsea in 1S29; Grattan i ' fought a duel on the day of his elec- i tion in 1800: Sir A. Boswell was kill-! ed in a duel in 1822; O'Connell had killed his man ; and the practice o: dueling was also frequent among lit erary men. But what would Sir Wil frid Lawson and his friends have said of the drunkenness which pro .-ailed at the beginning of the pre« •ntcentn-y? Men vied with earl •liter in hard drinking, and the cti-- om was prevalent in almost nil ■anksjitK; condi'hijis of society. TI.l rVince--Regent invited the Dnko o* Norfolk to dinner lor the ex pi c-- mrpose of making liini drunk ; am) he Duke of York made a practice of drinking six bottles of claret at a sit ing. The claret must have been lonslderably better than much of that if our own day. or the Duke would mrdly have taken so much of it—or. taking it, he would assuredly not nave long survived. Claret was the •hief wine of the period, mid, as Mr. ’.Valpole points out, it was only with- n the reach of Dukes and ’spand- .hrifts. These lines, in Lockhart’s Life of Scott, show the estimation iu which port was held: -Bold and erect the Caledonian Hood, •M was bis multOK, aud his dm* g*»od; l et him drink po t,' th<» English ata’esmad cried— He drank the poison, aud his spirit dlid.” Drunkenness was fearfully prev alent during almost the whole of the eighteenth century. Mr. Leckev. quoting other authorities, record- that “liolingbroke, when in office, sat up whole nights drinking, and in the morning, having bound a wet nap- j kin around bis foreheud and his eye.-, to drivo away the effects of his ’ in temperance, he hastened, wit lion I sleep, to bis official business. When Walpole was a young man, his father was accustomed to pour into his glass a double portion of wine, saying, “(tome, Robert, von shall drink twice while I drink once; for I will not per- mil the son in his sober senses to be witness of the intoxication of his father.’ ” Many of the most brilliant intellects of the century were clouded l>y drink, and the drinking custom pervaded the professions as well as well as the general circles of society.” *1 00 1 00 1 00 l 00 1 0o 1 00 1 00 I 00 1 00 i oo 1 00 1 00 I 00 1 00 i oo l oo 1 00 1 00 1 00 1 00 Certain bores, who think it an evi dence of being a good fellow to call , gentlemen, wi:h whom they have only a slight tirqiiniiitmicr, by tVoir first names, may ba edified upon reading that a decision oil politeness was re- | cnnllv given by tha Supreme Court at Boston. A hold clerk sued his 1 employers, who had discharged him before Ills time was up, they alleging ! that ho had injured their business by | being too fainilinr with guests in ad dressing tliem by their Christian unities or surnames only. The alle gation was admitted, and the court said : ‘•To address a person by his Chris tian trime, unless the parties have iieen intimately connected, socially and otherwise, is uncalled-for famil iarity. and. therefore, insulting to the parly so addressed. To address a per son "by his surname only, shows a went of respect, and would imply that the party so addressed was be neath the party addressing; there fore, it is di-eoni-toons, and would bn considered insulting. To speak of oinplovets by their stminme only, shows a great want of respect on the part of the employe toward tho em ployer. While it may bo customary for a person to address his junior elerks or under servants by their Christian or surnames, to address oth ers so shows a want of respect, and the party so address d would natu rally evade contact in the future with anyone who hud previously so ad- drossed hint. Politeness, added tho court, costs nothing; but the want of it lias cost the plaintiff his situation. The com plaint was dismissed with costs. Newspaper Wit. Wit is not so abundant in ournewn- p'lpers. Yet it i-> not so infrequent. When the Camden Post says “a man’s character i- like a fmec—vott cannot strcngthiii it by whitewash, ’ it gives it- a genuine epigram. Quite as feli- nitou . too. i- t Id- from the Cincinnati Brcnkfa-t Tallin: “A tack points heavenward niton it means the most mischief, it has many hunmu imita tors. ” A bright turn to a similar quotation is given by the Biddlcford Miniature, thus: “*t am thy father’s spirit,’ as the pint flask said'to the in quisitive urchin who had been inves tigating the cupboard.” Mr. Talmage having claimed that hell has four gates, the Buffalo Express hopes they open outward, so as to give easy ogress in ea-e of tire. The Haeketi- -:mk Republican gave a witty conceit when it said last tall: “The leaves of trees, like summer boarders with bills unpaid, tnke their departure, leaving their trunks behind them.” The fol lowing is evidently stolen from the English: At dinner the host intro duces to the favorable notice of the company a splendid truffled pheasant amid tiiiinn'irs of admiration. “Isn’t t a beauty?” he says; “Dr. So-and- o gave it to me—killed it himself.” -Aw, -.el. t was he treating it for?” -ay- otic of the guests. This, which : s going the rounds without credit, hears evidence of origin in the Now York World newspaper: “Athoru in the bush is worth a dozen in the hand.” Cl Mb 1.1 f«K<.l.r e a t> lyT II nod |»rtlc«.U.t fifSHE&SOS. «V I at ttaaA A Eir~s'» WuaLsus. , display*.

I’m*) Di.ij.atcb.] Belford’s speech in the House was delivered from ninuttspcrip!. He de clared that in the contest, in which Congress was now engaged, the Pres ident might yield, hut the Republican party would never; characterized the Democratic party of llieuorthns cow ardly and treacherous, and warned the south against relying on it. All that the. (ti e Republican party) asked of the South was respect for ihe laws of the country. They had been told that the Confederates had crossed the Potomac and seized the Capitol, hut the Soniliei n pendulum would swing hack and in 1880 the Democratic par ty would retire to the rear ns it had done in the past. He was followed on the same side by Humphrey, of Wisconsin, who also rend from manuscript. ■affin* 0, * Wliat is Gambling. Macon TVJpjjrni h ] The grand jury of old Putnam coun ty makes the following salutary de liverance : We have made an earliest effort to obtain some information that would enable ns to tiud out who aru the gamblers in our town, but made a failure. We have discussed the sub ject, “Wliat is gambling?” and have decided that all forms of raflting, whether tho object be to help the church, or the poor, are a species of gambling and immorality that should be avoided by every good citizen.

Nearly’ all the offloi rs of the Confederate States govern ment are members of one House or the other. The flcsbless skeleton ol Vice-President Stephens suggesting a reanimated tenant of the old Bour bon graveyard is the most notable object in the Representatives' cham ber. Posimastcr-Gcnoral Reagan and one or two other members of the Richmond cabinet are leading mem bers of the right in the same cham ber. Seventy or eighty other mem bers of the right were members of the songress at Richmond or briga dier-generals of the confederate ar my. The congress of the eon fed rate slates lias been removed lo Washing ton, and nearly all the commanders ol ihe confederate ormics are come to Washington as members thereof.— Jefferson Davis is the only conspicu ous member of the Richmond gov ernment who has not moved to Wash ington as a member of the soul hern congress.

Says he: “You sec, de ground ling come onten his hole on de 14th day of february. and got a good clean look at his own shadow : mid dis ant a sure aud sarlain sign dat we’s gwine to liab amidder cold spell ’fore summer. We haint had it yit, but its a cummin.” *■>•»' The Butler Herald is informed by Col. C. B. Howard that Mrs. Kate Southern will move to his camp, nenr Reynolds, on the 1st of April, and will be kept in his house as a domes tic. Tho widow of ex-Gov. Samuel Bard is lecturing in Louisiana for the support of herself and daughter. Her topic is “Contest; or, Time mi Re view.” She is a native Louisianian, and the New Orleans Times says a representative type of Southern wo manhood. The rebels in Cuba aro not all dead yet. Four conspirators named Flor. Combet, Beola Bodriguez and Mar tinez Preyre, have been arrested at Santiago charged with plotting against the public peace, and their transportation to Spain has been or- dered. #5 0'J: :tc different Departments, will con- < lusvillt Free Frees.

Down at Quitman they call Kal somining “a new wrinkle.” The latest sin committed by the paragrapliist U as follows: “There are two periods in a woman’s life when she doesn’t like to talk.

A. A. |* The Washington Republican (stal wart organ) reports a prominent stal wart as saying: “I know the Repub lican party has gone to the dogs, and it's all through the general incapacity, iiecdlessness and judicial fairness of ;he administration.” lie might have said that the party has gone to the dogs for want of a’ cause. A family is like an equipage. First. Ihe father, the draught horse; next, the boys, tho wheels for they are al ways running around ; then the girl-', they are surrounded by fellows. The babies occupies the iapboard; and the mother—well what’s a wa-on without a tongue, any how?—Ex change. Some of the Radical papers arc nan* declaring that in vetoing the anti- Chinese bill, President Haves vetoed Ihe Cincinnati platform, upon which lie was elected. It is none of our fu neral, but we would suggest that in asmuch as he was not “elected” nt nil. bill only attained his position by fraud and intimidation, he owes no respect to the platform. Another Receipt for Colic.—The Stock Journal says “give the horse two tablespoonsfui of soda dissolved in warm water. Repeatthe dose every half hour until relief is obtained.” It adds: “For infants, with colic, soda is invaluable. If persons, who ate subject to colic, will take soda they will have no use for anli-spnsuiodics. Soda will euro colic as certain as wa ter will put out fire.” “Whcro were you last iiit-ht ?” said the Judge, “Carnival Authors” stid the prisoner. “Stahl till nine o’clock ; was a little Dr.rden, and went out and Goethe drilik. I couldn’t pity the Scott, and a Longfellow at the \V'av- side Inn asked my name, ‘ltoburi Bums,’says l; ‘Rut him out,’says lie: ‘The Dickens you will,’ says i. *My Holmes in the highlands a diiokiev the beer; ‘You’ll get no Mourn here,’ says he; and tin* Lillie Boy Blue mine along and ran me in. That's Watts the matter, Judge; l would not tell you a false Hood ; I’m Innocent as u Lamb.” And tho Judge thought so, for lie sent him behind the bars for thirty days, a wiser if not a Whittier Utan.—Boston Commercial Bulletin. Tilden is the man. Hu may be dis tasteful to the politicians, but the people want to elect him once more: and then with tho past before them ail the Grauts, Electoral Coutmis'- sions, and bayonet* In the laud will not prevent their putting him at the head of this government—Bainbridgc Democrat True, ye9, very true. Taxing Doqs.—The State of Ohio realized last year by the tax on dogs the handsome sum of #236,753. It Is very doubtful if Ohio harbors so many worthless curs as Georgia, which gets no revenue at all ft-om the dogs. On the other hand, how ever, Ohio is one of the greater sheen-raising States on the continent, Licking county having 206,514 head, .vorth #161,123, aud Paulding county, :he smallest producer of wool and mutton, having 3,673 sheep, An Income of Four Thousand Dollars a Day.—Lieutenant Gover nor Tabor, of Colorado, one of the principal miuo owners at Leadville, i he new El Dorado, passed through ‘Jhimgo the other day, and wag in- erviewed by a reporter of the Inter• Ocean as to the truth of the statement fiinthU income was four thousand 1 illars a day. The Governor said he didn’t know himself what he earned a day, but admitted having realized fifty-one tliousaud seven hundred dollars out of the “Little Pittsburg” mine within oue mouth. For a State whose credit was ruin ed by the repudiation of “sacred obligations," and whose bonds wore immediately afterwards refused On Wall street, Georgia is doing famous ly. A New York bank has offered the Stale treasurer all the money ht wants at 5 per cent, interest, even If the amount required is #5,000)000.— But the “disgraced” commonwealth can afford to reject this offer, for her bonds go off readily to her own citi zens at 4 per cent. Louisiana oar stand a good deal of such “disgrace.” 'it fact, her citizens cry for it. [Ni O. Democrat The farming idea, on general prin ciples, needs revolutionizing. The very foundation stout* of the prosper ity of our common country should tiot be in the condition that our tam ers confessedly assert that they are.— It is in direct antagonism to what an all-wise Providence intended, that our farming interests should not stand i.t the front rank of prosporitv. In our opinion, not until the day "comes when the fanners take a greater de light and pride in their farming titan they now do, will tho agricultural pursuits of the South provo as remu nerative as they shonla. The common idea among farmers is that farming doesn't pay; they hate the business, and continue it only because nothing better turns up. This idea aud plan of action would kill any business in the world. Few men make successes in life who aro not trained to their business in youth, and who do not itivc it their ti no 1 tided attention and take that pride iu It which l* charac teristic of that highest type of roan hood.— Washington Gazette. Tho man who wants to know aboot things. AVe have all seen him; have all-been there,” as they say in the beautiful West. A dear son of New England, having plied a new comer in the mining region of Nevada with every conceivable question as to why oo vi.-ited the gold region, hia hopes, means, prospects, etc., Anally asked him it lie had a family. "Yes sir,” was the reply: “l have a wife and six children, and I never saw one of them.” Then there was a brief silence, after which the boro commenced: “Wa* you ever blind, sir?” “No, sir.” “Did you marry a widow?” “No, sir.” Another pause. "Did I understand you lo say that yon had a wife and six children liv ing in New York and had never seen one of them?” “Fact.” “How can that be F‘ “Why,” was the reply, “one of them was born after I left!”—Editor’s /hrucer, in Harper’s Magazine for -Vail.

Her daughter borrow' ed the money to nay the tine, but Mrs. Stack died in a tew hours after her release, Iter death beiug the direct re •nit of the cruelty to which she had been subjected.
