THE FOULTKY YARD.
The poultry show was greatly enriched
yesterday by the arrival of Mr. **. 'Wil
liams, of Taunton, Mass., who brings
about thirty of the finest coops of chick
ens on the ground. While his stock
does not increase the number of varieties
upon the ground, they improve the show
vastly by their evidence of fine selection
and high breeding. Mr. Williams will
find, before . many days, that he is very
welcome upon the grounds.

they grow up with more regard for
morality, religion, law, than they did
then ? Alas ! with all our books and our
new processes of education, and the uni
versal sharpness of the juvenile intellect
oi the day, we iniss something t.uit was
very precious among t ie children of the
old time -reverence for men and women,
systematic courtesy in simple forms, and
respect for the wisdom of the pulpit, tae
schoolroom and the fireside. If we were
called upon to describe the mo iel boy or
girl, we should be obliged to call up the
old. type—the rude, healthy lads and
lasses who snow-balled each other, bat
tled with each other in spelling bouts,
and imbibed the spirit of reverence for
their elders with every influence ox
church and school and home. . We have
made progress in some directions, but in
some we have sadly retrogaded. Our
boys aro all young men, and our girls are
fearfully old. Our typical child has no
longer the spirit of a child.
Occasionally, we meet what are popu
larly denominated “gentlemen of the old
schooL” We have only enough of them
among us to .make U3 wish that we
had many mare —men of courtly dig
nity, of unobtrusive dress, of maimers
that seem a little formal but which are,
nevertheless, the manners of gentlemen.
They remind us of the worthies of the
old colonial time, and of the later time of
the Revolution—of Washington and Mad
ison and Franklin—of men whom all re
vered, and to whom all gave obeisance.
Into what has this style of men grown, or
into what have they been degraded?
Looking where they would bo pretty cer
tain to congregate if they were in exist
ence, we see them not. Has any one seen
them at Newport during the past season?
Have they abounded at Saratoga ? Have
they been found in dignified and. grace
ful association with the President of the
United States at Long Branch ? Are they
presiding over municipal affairs in our
great cities ? Do they enter largely into
the composition of Congress, even after
we have substracted the gamblers and
carpet-baggers ? If we have them in con
siderable numbers, where ore they? Cer
tainly they have either ceased to be re
produced in our generation, or they are
so mueh disgusted with the type of men
met in public life and fashionable society
that they studiously hide them elves from
sight. There is little comfort m either
alternative, but we must accept one or
the other.
Progress has doubtless been made in
many ^things. A’o •re richer, better
clothi-d, better housed, better fed and
better oduoated than we used to be. Our
railroads run everywhere; our well-nigh
exhaustless resources have been broached
in a thousand directions; we count the

American iu ten kno./s exactly how many
are in the Union. All this is true; but
during the past twenty-five years we
judge that we have made no improve*
ment in the typical American gentleman.
If the old men with their breeches and knee
buckles and cocked hats could have looked
in upon the President' and his chosen
friends at Long Branohlast summer we are
inclined to think the latter would have
been a good deal embarrassed with the
situation. If they could hard talked

What shall we say about the old type
of women as compared with the present

The saintly, heroic, frugal, industrious

the Republic—have we improved upon
them ? Have the latter-day doctrines of
woman’s rights made them more mo.lest,
more self-denying, more virtuous, better
wives and mothers, purer and more active
Christians, better heads of the institution
of home, more lovely companions for
men?* We are aware that the answer to
those questions involves the approval or
the condemnation of the doctrines them
selves, and it i3 well that the men and
women of America be called upon to see
and decide upon those doctrines from this
point of view. Is tLe type of the Ameri
