A KfMlrm RuKlIah IHAnlflen of (ha Term* II in common in onr day to ftpoftk of gentlemen of position, gentlemen, of moeni, gentlemen of the press commercial and sporting gentlemen, etc. II wu nol in this vsguo ecnec that tho word «m need by James I., who, when hia name entreated him to mako her son a gentleman, replied that ho oould make him a lord, but that it wAa out of hia power to mako him a gentleman. Tho word does not now bear tho interpreta tion it formerly did in England. While at ono timo it expressed the idon which tho term gmtUhommc does in Fran do— where it retaina its original significance to designate tho members of a caste, distinot and apart—it has, in successive periods, been applied to degrees more widely extended. All classes now osso* date more freely than would have been tolerated in provions generations, and men no longer dress, oithor really or figuratively, in buckle* and buckram. Tho garb of tbo Puritan—despised in the days when it was tho fashion for a man to bedezin himself in rutiles and leoc—is now tho rule, and is apprecia ted for its plainness, its oomfort and its f tractiaal utility. Tho ordinary oontnmo or gentlemen—free, easy, and devoid of 1874. outward show and protonoo—is an index of their mental condition. They eschew stiffness, they abhor formality, they des pise all seeming. Their mannors, though refined, are simple. Tho gontlemaiT is a representative character- a reflection of his era. Wo may trace the manners of the times in their various typos : in tho warlike and semi-barbarous, tho chivalrous and romantic, tho effeminate and ornate, the soldierly and scholarly, down to the earnest, accomplished, and practical specimon in our own day. As now nn dorstood, the term is indicative of eon duet rather than lineage—of character rather than position—of tho qualities that contribute to its formation as much as their manifestation in tho life. ? ontleman is aomathing unique, apart rom any consideration of rank, educa tion, or pursuits. There ore many men of plain manners and limited menus as thorough geutlomen ns any noblo in tho land. Tho late Justice Talfourd, in his charge to tho jury in an notion wherein it was alleged that the defend ant had said to the plaintiff, 44 Do not speak to mo. I am a gentleman. Yon are a tradesman," took occasion to ob serve : 14 Gentleman is atorm wbioh is not confined to uny station. The mail of rnnk who deports himself with dig nit-y and candor, tho tradesman win discharges his duties with integrity, and tho humbloat artisan who fulfills tho obligations inounihout upon hi with virtno and honor, aroaliko entitled to the name of gent Ionian, in preference to the man, however high his station, who indulges in ribald and offensive remarks." Wo may havo a correct conception of tho character without being able to en ter into nn Analysis of it. Courtesy and simplicity are its lending features. The most highly-cultivated men nroovor the least ooncoitcd, and we generally find that the pedantic are men of small un derstanding. Chesterfield embodies its constituent elements in tho term 44 po liteness," which ho defines as a benevo lence in trifles, or a preference of others to ourselves in tho ordinary occurrences of life. UontlenoKH, the foundation of the character, implies a reserved power, and it is to bn distinguished from weak ness, as it is from a passive tameness of spirit and an unreasonable compliance with tho diotatrs or tho will of others. Ib rmioituoes no just right from tho fear of thoir frown, and yields no important truth to their flattery. A prominent funturo of the character is considerate ness, which may bo said -to consist in dolionoy in tho use of power—physioal. moral, and social. Forbearance and wisdom in the oxeroiso of this power— of that which the husband exorcises over tho wife, the father over his chil dren, the teacher over his pupils, the old over tho young, tho strong over tho weak, tho man ter over his hands, the poor, tho educated over tho ignorant, tho oxporionood over the confiding— mark the gentleman. Rnshfuliiosa is not inconsistent with tho character, and wo arc surprised that so rare a quality is not mor® highly ap preciated. Tho thoughts and foldings of the retiring in disposition uro hot less refined, although they may not bo expressed with tho grnooiulnoso of the ready speaker or tho impetuosity of tho rAttlo-pato. This disposition frequent ly arises from tho mind running in chan nels other than the common piaocR ot or dinary conversation, and a consequent consciousness of inferiority in the art of pleasing. Tho assumption of the ohirrnotcr is often but a simulation of tho more Agreeable habits of society, ami ouly tho veneer which hides do- lirnvod tastes and vicious propensities. Nothing more displays a frivolous, self ish, ana vulgar mind than inattention to tho sirnplo courtesies of life, and without tills oven profound learning is no more than tiresome pedantry. A person of this description says he can lie a gontloumu when ho pleases. A true gentleman novor pleases to be anything else, and never, by any aooidout, dero gates from this standard. Ho cannot stoop to a menu tiling, llo never ntruts in borrowed plumage. Ho never stubs iu the dark. lie is not one thing to a man’s face mid another behind liis back. Papers not meant for 1mb eye are sacred. Holts and bars, looks ami keys, bonds And securities, and notices to tres passers, uro not for him. lie is a con sistent observer of thoBooond great com mandment : whatever ho judges to be honorable, lie practices toward all. Perhaps it was beeanso of Tliuolce- ray’s keen-sighted ness to detect, and hia readiness to expose and pillory the snob, that ho oould the more genially doeoribo a gentlemun. There art' many I manages iu liis writings which bespeak lis appreciation of the character. The reader will remember his famous pres- I iootuH of the Pall Mall Gazette, which, >oiug oonduoted by gontlt men, was to bo addressed to gentlemen. 44 Perhaps,” ho says, •* gentleman is u rarer person age than some of us think for. Which of us ouu point out many such in his circle : men whose aims are gene whose truth is constant, whose wti meanness makes them simple, who enn look the world honestly in the fao nn equal manly syuqmthy f<*r tho great and the small ?

In Paris j they put up with any rcspcotablo situa tion: but frequently they lose them, snd nave no friends or homo to go to. Miss Leigh states that there nro two thousand finch girls in that city, and she wishes to have something done for them to keep them physically and mor ally out of distiess. oho has already established a temporary homo and mission as a boginuing for hsr project. SPORTING NKWH. linn Time Mlatlatlra Worth llfmein- Tho lhiffalo Courier furnishes its aders with the time mode by tho fast horses at each of tho trotting meetings st the lhiffalo track, showing the im provement made every ycor in tho speed of horses. As a matter of record, we givo a table showing tho number of miles trotted, and tho average time made each year since tho Buffalo mootings wero inaugurated : Year. No. of Miles. Ar. Timo. 1880 HI 1807 81) 2:84# 180S 82 2:81 M 1800 82 2:20# 1870 88 2:28# 1871 81 2:2ft# 1872 88 2:255 < 1878 88 2:26# 41 2:21# It will bo Boon from this table a clearly ns from anything that could bo published, how rapidly tho speod of trotting stock is increasing, and this is greatly duo to the clasn of meetings in augurated iu this city. Tho average this year would havo boon much lower had it not been for exceptional circum stances. The number of heats trotted was decidedly greater than over before, though there were no more races than usual, This, of oonrso, is bcoatiso comparatively few of tho ovonts ware won in three oonHocutive heats, and tho horses becoming tired, slower timo the oonsoquonoe toward tho closo of each rooo. In tho stallion race, for in stance, tho second heat was trotted in 2:201, while Jefferson was able to win the.sixth in 2 £8) ,* and in the 2:20 ra the fourth heat was made in 2:11 j. Thoi slow heats hurt tho average, but it is low enough to prove beyond a doubt that tho Buffalo track is tho fastest iu the.world. Tho same horses made two or throe Moponds hotter timo over it than they di i at Cleveland. An minimal number of performances which booamo matters of rooord wero achieved at tho meeting just closed. The fastest and best race of five heats over trotted was the 2:20 raon of Friday; the fastest fifth heat ever made was tho 2:21 of Bed Cloud : tho fastest heat by a year old was trio 2:201 of Flcoty Gold- dust ; tho fastest stallion heat was th 2:20J of Hmugglor; tho fastest quarto mile ovor trotted by a loading horse in a race was tho JJ2| of Hod Cloud : and, more important than all, the fastest ratio ovor trotted in the world wiu 2:lGj of Goldsmith Maid. Fivo of these events ooonrrod on tho last day, which stands without a peer in tho annals of trotting. Tho brilliant nnoocss of tho meeting of 1874 confirms Buffalo in its position as the trotting centre of tho country, and will give an impetus to the sport, tho influence of which will long bo felt, for it was achieved through squaro tests and just ruling. COURTS’ TAILS. Novel Theory ItoKordlnff th« Ole*- Kaimun' Caudal A|i|»nd*gri. Comet* are supposed to consist of thin vapors of gases, hold together by the mutual attraction of their particles. Like all bodies so circumstanced, they necessarily assume the spherical form ; and therefore tho common notion that they consist of aoomparativoly|sraall and bright nnolens, ana an immensely long and illuminated tail, ovidontly derived from its nppearanee in tho heavens, can not for a moment be entertained. That thoir sperical form, ns shown by the re flected light of tho sun, would scarcely be discernible nt the distance of our earth, even though tbo comet wore as dense no tho densest cloud of our at mosphere, would not bo surprising; but if their attenuation, as described by 8ir John Hertohel, bo considered, all wonder oonsc s. Hir J. Horsehel says that tho most sub stantial clouds which float in the highest regions of our atmosphorc, and seem at sunset to bo drouchod in light to glow throughout their whole depth ns if in actual ignition, without any shadow or dork side, should bo looked upon ns dense and mussivo bodies, compared with tho filmy and all but spiritual texture of a comet. Owing to this tenuity of matter tho rays of the sun’s light, ns reflected by it, are absolutely invisible to tho inhabit ants of tho earth; but other rays, pen etrating into tho center of the comet, are refracted by this powerful wheel of 20,000,000 of leagues diameter into the fomis which forms tho nucleus of the t, whore there is, perhaps, a greater concentration of light than anywhere ilso. not in the body of the suu. Thence this large body of concentrated light Ifcrenming in a narrow path through tho remaining half of tho comet-, in a direction opposite to the sun forms that splendid appendage called tho tail. It scorns scarcely necessary to point out that this mode of viewing a comet accounts for the circumstance of the tail being always in opposition t- :ui, whether in advancing or recoil lug. Also for tho wonderful celerity shown by tho tail in turniug round tin sun when tho comet is in perihelion, and for the rapidity with which the it darts out its tail after tho pcrilio nasungo, ulso on the mlnoipte o! tho aberration of light, the bend which tho tails of some comets havo toward (lie region they havo loft, also tho ab sence of a solid nucleus, and tho non- obscuration of tbo stars by tho body of lomet. If the oonjeoturo be root, that tho nucleus of a comet is near the ecu or. and that tho cornet extends i every direction round Iho nuol i grout a distance, at least, n ngtli of the tail, then it follows that at this present moment the sun is tensi ng on our comet-, and that whin merges from hiv embraces a few days hence it will have suffered soim ution of its si/.o.—London Ivor AelilevmentN of London Thieves. A London correspondent thus writes of a noted swindle in that city: Beyl says those follows often Htenl whole train loads and boat loa s of coal, and tlio detectives can’t get a clue to them. Tho statement appeared so ridiculous i tint I thought- my ooinpanio joking. He was, however, in earnout and iio told me tho way they did it 44 In tho first place," said ho, “yoi know these ohapn haven regular organ izod society for purposes of mutual as sistnnoo iu carrying out- thoir plans of assisting each other when they fall into tiiohamls of just ice.

In tho northwestern corner of the territory of Wyoming is located one the most beautiful lakes on this ooi nent, if not in the world. Adjacent it are tho sources of four majestic rive the Yellowstone, flowing into the Mis souri at a distance of 1,800 miles; tin Missouri itself, which finds its the gulf through the Father of Waters: the Columbia, which, passing through the most to mark able canyon in the world, discharges its waters into the Gulf of California.

Oil What- Bo Hants Tho French government Teed/ ago established an experimental farm u Vinoonnos, France, under tho suporin tendance of the eminent oil enlist, M. Villo. Every convenience, such sti-honses, hot beds, fields, fmpl merits, etc., moos* ary to carryout Ii peri moots, wero at his disposal. Among the many experiments ma- by him was that of o.uisiug wheat grow in pure Baud ; any fertilizer ill tho saiul or water used »: mt, the sand was burned and tho water distill'd. Four large -pots filled with tho burned sand 3d in tho experiment. In ihc tulislanee that would ad first ho put twenty-two g wheat-, aud watered them tilled water; tho need gi yellow and sickly, but and produced r good the dis- looking mat un it und red iglit grains of poor, shriveled wheat. In tun aroond pot, the ton minerals that all plants require for food were mixed with the burned sand, and twen ty-two grains of good wheat planted ns iii tho first case. The result still showed sickly plants, hut hotter developed than the first., and at maturity yielded on* hundred aud forty-four grains. In the third pot ammonia* was mixed with tho burned sand instead of the ten minerals as ill tho second axpnri- tho plants came up a beautiful dark green, giving every in dication that a large crop of seed wonl-.. he produced. But not so; tho result, although better than tho other two pots us only a yield of one hundred ana xt-y-Uo grains. In tho fourth experiment the ton r. in- orals required as food for all plants, united with ammonia, were mixed with land, and twenty-two grnius of wheat planted as before. This oxperi- aut bciug a union ns it were of the Bond and third experiments. The ro It of this union was almost magical ; tho plnnts sprang up with groat vigor, strong and healthy, producing from the twenty-two seeds four hundred and twenty-three grains of full, good wheat. As the land in which they wero planted, and tho water with which they wero wa torn! contained no fertilising property this grand result must have been cnusei by the minerals and ammonia alone. Ye great hr this result was, live percent only of,tho plants were produced by the minerals and l.t 0 per oent, by the ntn- mouin; thereby showing that 93.40 p r nt. of the plants wore produced by bated upon Ihc result of observations in tbo United Btates, where tho mass of the people have small learning. Literary Style. No man of power can do himself a greater wrong than to make nn attempt to acquire the stylo of another man, under tho impression that that style will fit his thought. He might os well have his olothen made to his neighbor’s racaenro. There is not ono chance in a thousand of u fit, unless it be a fit of disappointment or disgust. Tho sensi tiveness of language to tho impulses and characteristics of tho spirit that sits behind and titters it, is ono of the marvels of tho world. Its flexibility in sharing itself to every variety of thought, and evory form of imagination, its power to transmit an atmosphere or an aroma whioh no analysi * of word or expression betrays, and tho ease with which it is made cither puerile or msjes- iio, in accordance with the spirit of its maker, show that stylo, nnltorn of tho individual, in nn utterly valueless nt- tuinmont. As a fair illustration of the absolute impossibility of one man writing iu the stylo of another, take tho two great po ets of England now living, and let Browning and Tennyson undertake to acquire each the stylo of tho other, would absolutely ruin both. All wri ers who are good for anything have stylo of thoir own. It can no rnoro 1 transmitted or 44 attained" than the poi ers and qualities in which it baa i birth ; und a man who is so strongly impressed, or magnetized, by the styl of another, that lie finds himself trying to work in bit war, has his o^rn weak ness and lank of individuality demon strnt, d to him. It follows that most of tho criticisms of stylo are equally wi out common sense and common justice —so far, at least, as they aro made with the idea that there is such a thing bh h standard of style. There is abundant wealth of literary style in the world which has no characteristic similarity to Addison's ; and the young writers who fancy that they must shape their style upon somo approved or popular mode), would do well to abandon the effort at once. A good style is always tho nat ural offspring of a good literary mind. It is polished and chastened by self- criticism, and is a growth from tho cen ter. A stylo thus formed ih the only legitimate representative of a literary man. No lack of heart, or brains, or culture, or marked aud Inrgo individu ality, can ho hidden by adopting an other man’s literary dress and present ment. If a man has no style of liis own, he has no literary calling what ever.—/))-. ./. a. Holland. Kiliieatlon In Alabama.

This board has full legislative powers, tho legislature being only revisory of its sots. The school fund receives from half a million to $000,000 annually from tho state, one third of it being interest on the fund bestowed by the general government-, and tho remainder being made up of one-fifth of the commonwealth's general revenue—all tho poll tax, the license and the tax on insurance companie This fund is nominally apportioned in partially to the whites and blacks i each county, and the trustees in enc township are informed what their shai is.
