THE A.TLAITA BAIL! HEEALB. VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1873. NO. 270 The Daily Herald. TO ADVERTISERS. THE ATLANTADAILY HERALD HAS THE LAR8EST CIRCULATION OF ANY *APER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF QE0R8IA. Titles. bTYI E AND TITLES OF THE ENGLISH NOBILITY. L Foreigners of rank are half amused and ■ naif provoked at the mistakes made by ■ Americans, even of tbe traveled and culti vated class, in regard to titles. An English nobleman, who passed many months in this country, lately told a friend that he had scarcely ever received a letter properly ad dressed, and he was greatly amazed at such ignoi ance of the usages of polite society. It is really as improper for an American to address a nobleman wrongly as it would be for President Grant to address the Queen as Mrs. Guelph; and it is no reason, because we do not have titles here, that we should not pay a proper deference to the customs of another country. In Switzerland there is as complete an absence of titles as in the United States, but Swiss ladies and gentlemen do not on that account neglect to give visitors lrom other countries their right style and ti tle ; and what makes foreigners the more se vere on our neglect is that they declare we are quite as appreciative as the people of any country in the world of such dignities as we do possess, and that colonel, geneial, captain, admiral, judge, are paraded, especially in connection with the wives of officers having such a prefix to their names, to a much great er degree than elsewhere. The truth really is, however, that jlmeri- cans blunder abont titles without the slight est intentional want of respect, but from their ignorance on the subject. We purpose, therefore, as the British peerage ia the rock on which our people most often split, to explain very briefly the nsages in regard to it. There are in the British peerage seven gra dations of honors, viz: Archbishops, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, bishops, and ba rons. Prelates sit for life only. They are termed spiritual peers, and neither wives nor children derive any rank or title from them The eldest sons of the first three orders of temporal peers take their fa ther's next inferior title. Thus, the eldest son of the Duke of Sutherland takes the title of "Marquis of Stafford,” that being what is called the “second title" of the Duke of Sutherland, and ‘should the Marquis marry and have a son born daring his father's life time, this son would be called "Earl Gower,” that being a third dignity of the Duke's. These titles aie called courtesy-titles, inas much as they have no recognition in law. A Duke and Duchess are (with the excep tion of Archbishops) the only members of the peerage who have the style of "your grace.” They are always spoken of as duke and duchess, and it would be a mark of ignorance of the usages ot high society to speak of the duchess of Norfolk or Sutherland, for ex ample, as “Lady Sutherland,” or "Lady Norfolk." On the other hand, it is not customary to speak of the wives of peers other than dukes by any title but "lady.” People “in society” would pass a mental co* iment on the man who said "I saw the marchioness of Lans- downe,” instead of saying "I saw Lady Lans- downe.” The younger sons of Dukes and Marquises have the courtesy styles and title of right honorable and lord affixed to their Christian name. Thus, the Duke of Beanford's youn ger son is, by courtesy, “The Bight Honora ble .Lord Eeury Somerset,” and should be ad dressed by letter, “The Lord Henry Somer set,” "tbe” meaning "the right honorable.” The younger sons of dukes and marquises are addressed wheu spoken to as “Lord Henry,” “Lord Charles,” not as “Lord Som erset ’ or “Lord Manners." The sons of these younger sons have no titular rank at all. The younger sons of viscounts and barons are styled “honorable,” and are addressed by letter as “The Honorable Charles Freder ick Stanly,” “The Honorable Charles Edge- curnbe.” In talking to them, they are ad dressed: “Mr. Stanley,” “Mr. Edgecombe,” and they do not even style themselves “hon orable” on their visiting cards. The daughters of dukes, marquises, and earls are styled "right honorable lady,” and are addressed by letter, “Tbe Lady Mary Bruce,” “Tbe Lady Emily Lennox, ” “The standing for "The Bight Honorable,” “The daughters of other peers are styled “The Honorable,” as "The Honorable Emily de Grey.” "The Honorable Charlotte Eden.” In speaking to the daughters of the three higher racks of the peerage, you would call them “Lady Jane,” “Lady Emily.” In speaking to the danghters of viscounts and barons, you would say, “Miss de Gray,” “Miss Eden,” and if it became neceseaty to distinguished between two sisters, you would give name and surname. It is not usual, as with us, to say, “Miss Emily,” or “Miss Charlotte." The custom of saying “my lady,” “your ladyship,” hss entirely gone out of fashion, and, except to an old nobleman or a bishop, it is, unless yon wish to be very formal, quite unnecessary to say “my lord;” indeed, noth ing bores a lord more than tbe constant re production of bis title. No peers of Scotland have been created since the Parliamentary Union of that conn try with England, in 1707, bnt Scotland has, by the terms of that measure, sixteen repre sentative peers to represent her in the British parliament. The remaining Scotch peers have no seat in parliament. Scotch peers are elected for each parliament Irish peers are still created; because, by tbe terms of tbe Irish nnion act, tbeir number must be kept up to a hundred, over and above those who enjoy seats as peers of Eng land. They have twenty-eight representa tives in the house of lords who are elected for life. An Irish peet may sit as a member of the house of commons for an English con stituency, and Lord Palmerston did so all his lile. There are a few “peeresses in tbeir own right ” These ladies, if they marry and have children, transmit their honors to tbeir eldest son. If they have no son, bnt an only daugh ter, the honors pass to her. If a “peeress in her own right” in the English peerage left several danghters and no son, the peerage wonld, what is termed, “fell into abeyance” among the daughters. The abeyance can be terminated by the sovereign who, however, does not often take this course unless there seems a prospect of all tbe heir coma dying ont save one. or unless one has a male heir, and the others have no prospect of one. In the Scotch peerage, on the other band, tbe honors of a peer or peeresa, whoee titles are descendible to female heirs, are m herited by the danghters in anoceesion. Some times the course of descent is specially laid down in the patent creating tbe peerage. Thus the danghters of the late Marqnia ol Antrim became by this, in succession, connt- t ones of A ntnm in their own right in tbe peerage , Scarcely any peerages granted BiKSTlSwdescend to female heirs. BMOpgb U e not noblemen, and do not in an . v ~ray belong to tbe peerage. , W. Elthinktone. —[Appleton'a Journal. Bev. A. G. Hnghes, a prominent clergyman in Orange county, N.

Minister to Spain involves additional; customs and regulation promul gated by the Spanish Government for the Peninsula. The decree ia dated June the 6th, and will be enforced against all vesaela running from the Atlantic ports of the United States after the exhortation of three months from tbs date of publication, and four months, after ile** for all vessels coming from the Pacific porta. Minister Sickles in his dispatch says that it will be observed that this decree, although containing pro vis Ions tending to embarrass legitimate commerce with the porta of the Peninsula, recognized and adopted several principles contended for in my correspondence with this Government respecting the customs and reg illations in Cuba, only one manifest is required in stead of three. If the manifest agrees with the bill of lading, the firm insured for only one fraction of the regulation in describing a consignment is imposed on the consignees of the Government, and not on the vessel; and the Spanish Consuls are prohibited from certifying to manifests which are not properly made out. They are besides required to note all mistakes and amendments, and to report to the Custom author ities of the port to which the vessel is bound, all man- ifeste they certify. THE WKATHKS.

NEW YORK NEWS. New Yobk, July 8, 1873. Iu Southern States bonds the only transactions at tbe Board of Trade, was the sale of five thousand dollars, old Tennessee’s at 80 *£. There was active in quiry for bonds of old railroads and lines recently completed, or about to be completed, and which promise a profitable business. Old bends arc firm ly held at high prices. The following is a condensation of the report of tbe Erie Railroad: The earnings of the company have continued stead ily to increase. For the past six months they have largely exceeded those of any similar period siucc the completion of the road. The reforms begun in ths management of the company’s business have dimin ished the relative expenses in almost every depart ment, and these expenses will be still more largely diminished as the various reforms now in progress are developed, and when the present plan for a double track SDd narrow gauge on tho whole line shall be carried into effect, there is no roason why the cost of operating the road, in comparison with its gross earn ings, should not te as low as upon any of the other grand trunk lines. Wo are rapidly increasing our facilities for business. We have put In this season already twenty miles of sidings, and laid ten miles of the second track, and have increased eoaL.postal and other cars. We are preparing to reduce the heaviest grades upon the line, and when this is done, taken in connection with cheapness of fuel, in respect of which the Erie Company possess very decided advantages over any of its rivals for business in this State, the company will be able to overcome disadvantages under which it has suffered the past in comparison with other lines originally possessing better control of lo.al traffic. These ad vantages are now beginning to be realized and wil increase in future, and the day is not far distant when our prox imity to connection with the anthracite and bituminous coal regions of Pennsylvania and Ohio will far more than counterbalance the advantages heretofore possessed by other lines. The funded debt of the road has been increased duaing the year by tbe addition ol ten million convertible buuas, ox which eight millions have already been sold at par currency. The remaining two millions will very probably be placed at the sale rate as soon as they will be needed for our new construction and equipment now in progress. As- suming all these bonds to te negotiated, the funded debt of the Company will then be as follows; Re ported July 1, 1873, $30,040,140; convcrtable bonds, $10,900,000; total. $40,040,140. Tbe stock capital of the Company ia unchanged as reported July 1, 1872, viz: Common stock seventy-eight million dal lsrs, preferred stock $80,636,910; floating debt of com pany reported July 1st, 1872, was $046,366,830; pres ent floating debt is nearly $170,000 or about equiva lent to one months’ current receipts, showing reduc tion since last July of $4,730,000.

From the Peoria Review. Mr. Tweezer was on the bluff, last evening, calling on a lady friend, and they were out on the porch, discussing the works of tho great authors, when the young lady’sfpet white rab bit, which had escaped from its cage, came rushing around the house with a big yellow dog a f ter it The young lady screamed and Mr. Tweezer threw a rocking chair at tho dog, frightening him away, but knocking over eight flower pots and telescoping tho chair. Then the young lady implore Mr. Tweezer to catch the rabbit and save it from the horrid dogs. And Mr. Tweezer commenced to catch the rabbit He employed stratagem at first, fol lowing it around the back of the house and whistling gently, in true hunter's style, to ar rest its attention and cause it to stop. Then he made a grab at it, when it paused to re flect under the gooseberry bushes. Mr. Tweezer grabbed not wisely but too well, for the rabbit took advantage of his plunging and snatching around among the bashes to scurry over into a neighboring yard. Tweezer didn’t like that much, and he took occasion to say something derogatory to the character of the rabbit as he extricated him self from the thicket. But seeing tho young lady near, he smiled a dim sort of a smile and got off a dim sort of a joke about forty thorns in the hand being worth a rabbit in the bush. Then he girded up his loins and resumed the catching of the rabbit. He had left his hat among the fruitful shrubs, and as ho vaulted over tbe fence a portion of his coat tail re mained on a protruding nail. But Mr. Tweezer meant business. And so did tho rabbit. They coursed across the yard, then out in the street. then down two blocks, then into ano ther yard, and here a man came out and ask ed Tweezer what in all sixty-six he was trying to do. Tweezer asked if he didn’t havesenso enough to see himself. And the man smiled. Ere this interview took place, it might be stated that the rabbit had gone under the cow stable. Tweezer crawled under and chased it out. Auybody might know that by the look of his white duck clothes. When he came out the chase began anew. The rabbit was fair, and waited for him just on the other side of a picket fence. This time the pursuit led dowiPthe middle of the street, and spectators looked on and clasped their hands with enthu siasm. Tweezer’s blood was up and ho resolved to catch the rabbit or die in tho at tempt. He looked very much as though he would have a chance to die in tho attempt. So it appeared until a dog darted out and caught the rabbit. When Mr. Tweczefcame up and received tho prey from the jaws of its captor, he found to hia inexpressible sorrow that the animal had not been killed.
