[for tiik herald.]
Ht ttUt S.
According to the doctrine of a large
number oi' thinking minds, mankind
may be divided into two general classes
those who are humbugs, an G those
who are not humbugs. We are rather
inclined to adopt this classification
and think we can sec much philoso
phical beauty in the accurate discrimi
nations which it makes. At any rate,
we believe that there are such speeies
of humanity as are properly deaomi
nated humbugs; and will at once pro.
ced to introduce some of them to out
readers, begging them tp bear in mii.d
hat a humbug is an imposter—one
who under fair pretences endeavors to
deceive. Whether he succeeds in his
iitempts to impose upon the tod credu
ions or utterly fails, he i> still a hum
bug.
THE CLERGICAL IIUYBUG.
First, then, we will g ance at tin-
Clcrgieal Humbug. Do yog raise your
Itand3 in holy indignation, my deai
reader, as you hear tny bold ass. rtion
that there is such a thing as a Clergi
cal Humbug? If so, please to restrain
yourself ti'l you hear my argument in
favor of the assertion. Have y n never
heard of wolves in sheep’s clothing ?
Did you never read of Simon the sor
cerer ? Have you never coin, area' the
lives of the Pope’s with the Apostles?
Bat wc bring the question nearer
home. Have you never noted the
modern Reverend, robed in broadcloth
with his gold-headed eane in his hand,
take his evening sgijntcriugs ? Follow
him ; see him smile his blandest as ho
bows to some wealthy ‘‘lord of crea
tion;” but look at his frown of disgust
as the poor street beggar asks of him
alms. Gold and silver had he enough,
but none to spare to the pm z outcasts
of the land. Follow him back to his
mansion of luxuries. All the good
things of the land are his ; yet the poor
must never trouble him. Take note
of our Reverend Father in the pulpit.
See how his eyes glisten with pleasure
gs he is attracted by the rustling silk
in the aisle making t wird the hiuh
priced pews; yet see him instantly
withdraw his eyes from the poor
woman, who, in common habiliments,
now enters and seeks an humble place !
He is of that class who do not visit
the sick and those in prison—who care
not for the fatherless and the widowed.
Those that are a hungered and thirsty
are not relieved by him. I)o you say
that he is no humbug? We might
say much concerning these bloated
sensualists, these oily tongued hypo
crites, who desecrate the holy sanctu
ary by attempting to expound the word
of God, but our respect for the profes
sion and the disgust that would be ex
cited by £a further exhibition compel
us to forbear, and we hasten to bring
forward our next character for your
scrutiny, which is
THE LEGAL HUMBUG.
Ah, uow we feel freer to criticise and
unde,r less restraint as we enter the
[field of the “ gentlemen of the long
irobe,’’and contemplate that personage
which has afforded material for so much
I
amusement to satirists of every age an
clime. Had the mantle of the great.
Roman satirist fallen on our shoulder
we woujd not wish for a better übject
than is here presented in this class of
bold, brazen faced, arrogant dispensers
of justice. They are seen prowling
round every court- oom, eager lor hu
man prey; an 1 when once the victim
has fallen into their hands he is not
loosed from thence until he is robbed
of the '* uttermost farthing.” But en
ter the court-room ; listen at the flimsy
but bull-dog arguments. See how the
guilty wretch is held up as a glorious
monument of truthfulness and honor,
while the innocent are made vile as sin
itself. See the studied plans for de
feating justice. When we see all this
and much more besides, we are led to
conclude there is not so much differ
ence after all in the significations of
the words “ lawyer ” and “ liar,” even
if they are not pronounced exactly
alike. But the fact that this class of
humbugs is so numerous is not perhaps
so much a matter of wonder, when we
consider the immense amount of jargon,
senseless terms and contradictions of
which the language of the law is com
posed. So miserably obscure and con
tradictory is (he language employed
that it is really a wonder that there are
even a few lawyers who have not aban
doned all sense of honor and right !
But lest we make our article too
lengthy we hasten to the next division
of our subject,
THE MEDICAL HUMBUG.
From the time of the celebrated
Hippocrates down to the present this
important personage has bad bis exist
enee. Many of the great writers of
fiction have thrown their readers into
convulsions of laughter by their cor
rect portrayal of this character. The
quack doctor is a well known p rsonage
of our times. llis claims to superior
knowledge are urged upon every milk
maid he meets. At every gather
ing on the street his voluble tongue
may be heard Let the conversation
• ake what turn it tnav, he must remind
those around of his greatness by con
tinualiy breaking in with some strained
comparison—something remotely analo
gous to the point in question. He
usually begins, “ that reminds me of.”
nr “something similar to this exists
in,” or “in medicine we have,” etc.
But we dismiss this character to the
hotter informed reader with the remark
that he is too well known to require
any minute description here. The
next in order hardly needs an introduc
ti oi since he introduces himself to the
public in every newspaper in the land,
yet we announce
THE LITERARY IIUMRU.Q.
Reader did you ever see the modest
(?) unassuming (?) literary humbug ?
Just peep with me into his library
There he sits at his table with his pen
behind his ear and large piles of books,
pamphlets and periodicals, a million
scraps of paper with notes on them,
scattered around promiscuously. Now
he reads, now he scribbles down a
thought. Heaping up a mighty volume
of borrowed words, images, Ac., lie pre
pares for his great work—writing an
article for the newspaper. Now he
scratches his head for an idea, then
glances at the long list of high-sound
ing descriptives, again scribbles for a
moment, then jumps up, traverses his
room, peeps out at the setting sun. is
struck by a thought, runs to his table,
and wo it goes. This is the working
literary humbug; hut the great mass
of them throw out with perfe.pt ease all
kinds of trashy, yellow back, poison
ous, vulgar literature, whose influence
is for evil—corrupting the taste and
degrading the morals, by giving an
appetite for what is low and vulgar.
This class of humbugs seems to be
daily increasing. The press of the
land is continually flooded with litera
ture that should never be published.
Already the book shelves of the land
ape loaded with books that are never
read. The daily press is continually,
giving forth every idea that enters the
mind of man. Nothing is kept back.
Every man that forms an opinion
parades it before the public in the ever
reaily newspaper. Every one who has
a neighbor to abuse does it in the same
way. No wonder there are so many
humbugs in this department ! There
is only one other humbug that we will
glance at this time, this is
THE SOCIETY HUMBUG.
It is true that t’n s class may em
brace tpanj or all of the others hut we
limit the meauing to the si'Called eiite
of socii ty. where all professions for
time are laid aside, first is the fash
enable humbug belonging to both
sexes The male here takes the name
of dandy. “He is one that would be a
woman if he could, but since he can’t,
and >es nil he can to sVw to the world
lie is not a man.’’ lie is only strict in
carrying opt to the Jot,ter .some worn
out theories of etiquette. The only
good that he docs in the world, of our
knowledge, is his furnishing a theme
for compos'tinp lor every school girl at.
our exhibitions. The female society
humbug is characterized by her light,
fr volous, senseless conversation ; her
flattery, flirtation, her , but the
subject disgusts, so begging pardon, my
dear reader, for this trespass upon your
time and patience. I make my exit with
the remark, “ Beware of Humbugs !”

FICOII GREEXfSSIBOItO’ TO
ST. I,ol' IS,
St Louis, Mo., Aug. 3,1875.
Dear Herald —Leaving your pleas
ant city at 12 M. on Thursday, the
29th nib, we reached the bustling Gate
City in time to make connection with
the W. & A. train.
In Atlanta wc were severely handled
by professional ticket agents, each one
offering special inducements iu accom
modations and fare to the Great VVcst.
but we turned a deaf ear to their im
portunate nppeqls and adhered to our
determination to purchase tickets only
so far ns Nashville. After a few mo
ments consumed in transferring bag"
gage, we boarded the cars and were
soon speeding on our way to Phtjffnf
nooga. The magnificent coaches were
filled with passengers. The speed of
the train was very rapid, and but little
attention paid to the crossing of
bridges, there being no perceptible
slacking in the speed of the flying train
in making these crossings. We soon
came into a beautiful country. Every
thing attractive —nothing without in
terest. The waving corn as it stretched
before the eye fold of coming plenty.
We were surprised to see so much land
devoted to the cultivation of cotton in
the northern portion of the State. The
mania for growing c tton is prevalent
all over the South. Pur people ignore
the waning fortunes of the fleecy King
and seem to forgot that his sceptre is
less potent than in other days. But
we digress. The scenery of the coun
try through which we passed was
charming. Mountains, valleys, streams,
and nestling cottages, all combined to
form picturesque and beautiful scenes
We supped at Dalton. Between Pa :
toil andCChattanoogaa —a distanco of 3 ! i
miles—the railroad eros-es the Chicka
tnauga in its surpentine course, 13
times.
At Chattanooga we made close con
nection with the Nashville train, there
by avoiding the “ lay over ” so dis
tastoful to business men. We had
hoped to enjoy a fine view of Lookout
Mountain and the surrounding coun
try. but were disappointed owing to the
thick darkness of the night, occasion
ally however we caught a glimpse of its
rugged outlines, ns the lightnings
played around its summit. After a
night's ride we reached the “ City of
Rocks ” in the gray light of early
morning, aud, finding we would be de
tained for several hours, sought com
fortable quarters.
Our stay in Nashville was turned to
advantage and was really very pleasant
We visited several points of interest.
The Capitol, a magnificent structure of
Tennessee lime stone, is located upon
an elevation overlook ing the entire city.
This building is 20G feet high and
beautifully finished. The Representa
tive Ilall and Senate Chamber are
nicely arranged, the furniture, how
ever, scarcely comports with the wealth
and dignity of tba “ Volunteer State.”
The library and historical departments
are s ecially interesting. The walls of
the historical room arc hung with the
portraits of many of Tennessee’s dis
tinguished sons. Prominent among
them are suspended the immortal
Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk and
Andy Johnson. The life size portrait
of Parson Browplow stands out in bold
relief —in striking contrast with the
purer and better men who have given
character to the State. Safely depos
ited hero are many relics of the din.
!on' ago. We saw a silk dress worn in
1745 —part of the wedding trousseau
of Mrs Thos. Lynch, wife of a member
of the first United States Congress,
also some furs worn more than a cen
tury ago by Mrs. John Bawnjan. of
Cnarlcston, S. C. These articles are in
a good state of preservation. The
grounds surrounding the capitol are
handsomely laid out, and kept in per
fect order by convicts from the peni
tentiary. After feasting our eyes upon
the beauties and antiquities about the
capitol, we visited the penitentiary.
Over 400 convicts are confiaed here,
while 600 are employed on a railroad.
Within the walls of the State’s Prison
the fiucst order and system prevail
We made a minute examination of each
department. We went through th<
wood work aud furniture department.-
—thence below through the machine
works aud blacksmith shops. Order
prevailed everywhere. We were very
much interested in the foundry where
sto .is of all grades and the best quality
were being manufactured. None of
the convicts were in irons. While
there we could but think of the system
adopted by our State of scattering her*
convicts in small .‘"quads from the sea
board to the mountains. We are
thoroughly convinced 5 that the system
is wrong and fails of accomplishing the
ends in view. There is no doubt but
that the Tennessee Penitentiary is treif
sustaining if not a source of revenue to
the State.
We had a very plcasaut ride to the
site of \ anderbilt University, which ia
about two miles from the city. The
grounds are susceptible of great im
provement, and the building when com
pleted will be grand in aii its appoint'
ments.
At 3 p. m, on Friday wo left Nash'
ville by the St. Louis A S. E. R. R.—
fare 82 50—for St. Louis. In Ken
tucky and Illinois we saw tiia'ny fields
iu which the wheat still stood in shocks,
the incessant rains since the 15th of
June having prevented tho
from threshing. Much of the country
through which we passed has been
inundated, at one point for quite a mile
the railroad track over which we passed
was under water.
At Henderson, Ky., the car in which
we were traveling was run upon a
barge and towed by steamer some 12
miles up the Ohio river to Evansville;
fnd., where wc were again placed “in
terra firma ” much to our relief.
We reached the great city of the
West at 11 a. m. on the 31st ult. in
good health and fine spirits.
You shall hear from us “ now and
then.” Wanderers.
Oliver Hi-midl llolincv on
f.onx Dresses.
Our landlady's daughter is a
young lady oJ some pretentions to
gentility. She wears her bonnet
well hack upon her head, which i
i known by all to be a mark of high
I breeding. She wears her trains re-
Iry long, as the great ladies do in
Europe. To be sure their dresses
are so made only to sweep the tap
estried floors of chateaux and pal
aces ; as those odious aristocrats of
the other side do not go dragging
through the mud in silk and satins,
but, forsooth, must ride in coaches
when they are in full dress. It is
true, that considering various hab
its of the American people, also
the little accidents which the best
kept sidewalks are liable to, a lady
who has swept a mile of them is
not exactly in such a condition that
one would care to be her neighbor.
But confound the make-believe wo
men we have turned loose in our
streets ! Where do they come from ?
Not out of Boston parlors, I trust.
Why there isn’t a beast or a bird
that would drag its tail through
the dirt in the way these creatures
do their dresses. Because a queer)
or a duehes wears long robes on
great occasions, a maid o.f all work
or a factory girl thinks she must
make herselfa nuisance by trailing
about with her—pah ! that’s what
I call getting vulgarity into your
bones and marrow. Making be
lieve what you arc not, is the es
sence of vulgarity. Show over
dirt is the one attribute of vulgar
people. If any man can vvalk be
hind one of these women and see
what she rakes up as she goes, and
not feel squeamish, he has got a
tough stomach. I wouldn’t let one
of’em into my room without sen\.
ing them as David did Saul at the
cave in the wilderness—cut off his
skirts, sir, cut off his skirts. Don’t
tell me that a true lady ever sacij
flees the duty of keeping all about
her sweet and clean to the wish of
making a vulgar show. I won’t
believe it of a lady. There are
some things that no fashion has a
right to touch, and cleanliness is
one of those things. If a w otnat)
wishes to show that her husband or
father has got money, which she
wants and mcans'to spend,but don’t
know how,let her buy a yard or two
of silk and pin it to her dress when
she goes out to walk, but let ber
unpin it before she goes into the
house.—[The Professor at thy
Breakfast Table.
