Tlie active work of Mr. Arthur slr.ee the
death of (iarfield has been divided in two
parts. First, he haatrh-d to clear (hostage of
til existing Presidential candidates; secondly,
he nos organized the executive departments for
political work tn Ills Interest. Hu encouraged
the iKtssngc of tltu hill to put Gen. < hunt on the
retired ll-t of the army; lie nominated Conk-
ling to the Supreme Court; his friends in the
Treasury Department pressed the investigation
of Sherman, and dlligcutly sought to liiast his
character, his friends in the Statu Department
exploited Wattle's Couth Anicrh'an |*>]icy. The
cunning of Mr. Arthur ho* also liecn exercised
in the reorganization of the cxeeutlve depart
ments. There U not a possible Presidential
candidate among the new men called into the
cabinet. Fulger is a recluse; Howe and Freliu-s
ghuysen are fossils; Brewster is a lawyer with
out political experience. Not one of these men
ltaa political standing or influeiiee at home,
nor it is intended that they shall tie component
parts of the machine. The departments in
which patronage can bo most |iowcrftilly used

rived lately by the China steamer JtloJaiiclro
from Japan. During a visit to the !Aiing Bu
reau he met Mr. Davis, and in the mention of
some of his oriental experiences told of an im
mense bivalve shell weighing 526 pounds,
which he hail secured as a great prize at Singa
pore. Mr. Davis expressed a wish to present
such a sjicciiiien to the State and asked the
Professor to nnrao a price at which be would
dispose of if. This was done and instantly ac
cepted. it Is now due at New York. It will be
re-shipped for California without unpacking, as
PmfeiMir Ward will have it transferred to a
California-bound ship immediately on its arri

part of Mr. Davis the collector* at the East will
not have llie satisfaction of bidding for it,
which they certainly would have done.

* None of tho speeches had hold the Senatofc’
attention until that of Mr. Brown, of Georgia,
was begun, when the cloak-rooms emptied their
S&Tof "V-natot*. and the Mclllfluqus utter-
mires of the Georgia Senator were heard with
Flriet nttentton. While he considered it wi-e
to lestmlu Ute Importation of Chinese laljor-
er». he considered it equally Important that
the United .-‘tates should keep failh'with every
people and government on the face of the
cartll. To Mr. Brown’s mind It appeared that
the Burlingame treaty was still in force. It
also anpeared that the more recent modifica
tion oi it applied only to laborers; yet die
proposed legislation would ignore the prom-
}„• that Chinamen should enjoy all the privil
eges. linmtiuUIes. and protection accorded to
RtSt favored nat and declare that all
Chinamen s; ould be o.as d as isbtncn.oral
compelled to suoo it ti arrest and Imprison

among the Chinese, lie dts hiis-i Uiat an exam-
ination of the treaty would show that ‘he Chi

men who iiad constructed it. We were not
liound to stand by the Burlingame treats.
It could lie abrogated, but it wonjd
bo an act of faitbh-sMiess which might
cost us a great trade. -Mr. Brown then
turned bis atlention to another branch of
the subject, suggested by Mr. Miller ■- swtcmOTt
that the Chinese would not accept civilization.

iffiee hours—8 a. m. tolp- ®- angzCtf
rnsketa. Tho “Allied ISrotfiers of the
Amity IjOtlgea or the Freemasons,” so the
newspapers of Paris stated, iiad determin
ed to hold a fete in Knciand, and three
special trains had brought the holiday
makers through. They had engaged beds
everywhere; the Lud'Warden and other
hotels were crowded to excess; but
nobody thought anything of that,
for there had been severa! such fetes,
on a somewhat smaller scale, it is
true, but still fetes of a similar kind, he
fore. It w»3 known, though not specially
noted at the time, however, that just at
that precise date, a couple of French army
corps were carry in;; - tit a sr nes of peace
inaiicc-uvres iu tho no. hborhuo.l of
Amiens. Nobody troubled about what
t lie French did; they wee Entir.ud’s
firm allies. It’s true there had bee t a
ii'.tle misunderstanding abot t the light of
France Io menace tlie Egyptians with
an armed force should they not hasten to
confcrreriaiu concessions upon various
great French financial companies, and
true, moreover, that Tripoli, having some
time since been annexed to Tun:-, had
been a matter of some contention between
the governments of London and Paris;
but these were small matters which di
plomacy would certainly smooth
over; nobody gave litem more
titan a passing thought. When,
then, on that flue May evening the tour
ists arrived, nobody thought anything of
their visit, nor was it considered at all
suspicions; nor when, later on, by an
hour or two, two French steamers, which
might have been loaded witii apples or
arms, drew up near the Admiralty pier,
and sent word that they would be exam
ined by tho customs officer in the morn
ing. It was all so natural. Dover that
night slept tranquilly. It bad not a large
garrison, for troubles in Ireland and a re
duced army system had not left many
men in the lines above town. But it
knew it was secure; none but the good
and friendly French were near, and they
were only tourists. Only tourists!
THE SEIZURE.
The clock had only just struck mid
night when all on a sudden those tourists
might have been seen hurrying toward
the tunnel station, while coining fiom the
FAcii steamers were many men bearing
inraPir arms bundles of rifles. There
was a sound as of a scuflle and a shot or
two fired, but it only drew tlie attention
of a very few. The tourists had disap
peared. But an alarm had been given,
and the police bad been sent down to the
tunnel mouib, and then the alarm con
tinuing, a party of soldiers had been sent.
What could it all mean? Only this, that
the touris’s were rapidly ensconcing
themselves behind the railway mate
rial and the mouth of the tunnel, were
throwing up earthworks and cutting
trenches and quickly converting the posi
tion they had taken up into a military in-
trenchment. Alarm came. What troops
there were in Dover were sent in good
earnest now to attack the stranger, for
it was clear that they had got the tunnel
in their bauds and that if they could hold
it for six hours no ono would be able af-
ter ward to dislodge them. But the attack
was uot by any means the easy job it bad
looked. It was night time and tbe men,
hidden behind ea;th and railway trucks,
could not be seen. In vain the musketry
rat' led in the direction of tlie tunnel, the
defenders of the frontier were safely under
shelter and in an impregnable position.
Artillery must be b-ought up and the
tunnel destroyed, that was clear; tbe or
der was given. But the artillery was in
effective, and it was now found that tho
electric wire provided for blowing up the
tunnel and the apparatus fer sluicing it
had all been seized and cut; the tunnel
month must be retaken by lmnd to-hand
fighting. Telegrams were forthwith des
patched to London, and tbe Dover garri
son led up to the light. It numbered,
however, not many more than the invad
ers, and these had tlie immense advan
tage of being under cover. There was
many an English soldier who bit tlie dust
that night.
IN LONDON.
Let it not be supposed that in Loudon
tlie governmont cn getting informathn of
what was transpiring at Dover was su
pine ; on tlie contrary, it acted with
praiseworthy energy. The Secretary for
War was at a reception of the wife of the
foreign minister when the startling news
arrived, and his first impulse was to rush
up to his colleague to demand wliat it all
meant. “I am wholly at a loss to know,”
was the reply, “except that this evening
the French ambassador did certainly say
to me that his government viewed our
protest with regard to Egypt more seri
ously than lie wished, and that he trusted
the situation might not become strained.
But 1 took liim to be joking.” “Joking?”
roared the war minister “Do you know
that tbe French have come through the
tut ncl and taken Dover since midnight,
three honrs ago?” To say that both the
ministers were thunderstruck hardly de
scribes their condition But they acted—
the one leaving the company immediate
ly, and driving around to seek for explan
ation f”pu! the French ambassadorjWhom
he, curiously enough, did net fund at
home; the other tj the war office, whither
be summoned everybody attached to tbe
staff. - • • * News from Dover an
nounced that the French fora there had
increased to an army corps and was being
augmented every hour. While it was cer
tain that if tlie different detachments com
ing from different parts oi the country es
sayed to attack Dover, they would be cut
off in detail, there must bo au order given
for a concentration upon various points.
Dover had gone, and coaid not be retaken
for the present, aad the whole available
army must be concentrated on tbe Sur
rey hills till it was ready to march.
Important Notice—Words of Warning
We desire to give this friendly word of
warning to whom it may concern, tb&t all
persons who have been, or are now deal
ing in a preparation called “Claytoji &
Russell’s Celebrated S-omach Bitters,”
put upon the market by Adams & Co.,
oi New York, rentier them»dc;s liable to
prosecution and damages, as said article
lias been pronouuced by the U. S. Circuit
Court, Southern District, New Yoik, in a
decision rendered by his Honor, Judge
Blatchiord, February 1882, as being an
imitation of Uostetter’s Celebrated Stom
ach Bitters, and who granted a decree of
perpetual Injunction with damages,
against the said Adams As Co. for viola
tion of our trado mark in the premises.
The principle of tlilt important decision
applies with equal force to any article of
Bitiers, tbe labels of which bear a gen
eral resemblance to our trade mark, as
well as to the re-fiUlng of onr old bottles
with spurious stuff, or selling in bulk any
article purporting to be our preparation,
and hence this friendly word of caution.
We never fail to convict, as the court
records of New Orleans, St. Louis, New
York and other points fully affirm.

Washington, March 10.—Tn the Sen
ate, Mr. Brown, of Georgia, preseuted a
memorial from the merchants, bankers
and other prominent citizens of Atlanta,
for an adeqtu’-c appropriation for tho itn-
prov.-meu'. of tbe haibor at Savannah.
Hu subsequently introduced a bill .appro
priating $>150,001 for this purpose. He
briefly urged tbs comtnsrdal importance
of that port, an 1 its natural advantages as
an ou’.iet lor tba products of tbe South
ami West. lie gave notice of a bill r»p-
p-.opriatiiig lbs amount asked for this
year, to continue improvements.
Mr. Morgan, from the committee on
foreign relations, reported a concurrent
resolution requesting the President to
bring lo tlie attention of the government
of Nicaragua tbe necessity of arranging
by convention for a final settlement of ail
unadjusted claims existing between tba
government of the United States aud tho
governmont of Nicaragua, and the claims
of citizens of the United Stiles against
the government of Nicaragua. The res
olution was adopted, after an explana
tion by Mr. Morgan, iu reply to Mr. Mor
rell, that tho amount of claims in favor of
tlie citizens of ihe United Stales ranged
from $!},000,0U0 to $0,000,000, and that
tlie resolution did not cover the counter
claims of citizens of Nicaragua.
Ur. Vest offered a resolution directing
the Secretary of War to use the steamers
and oilier vessels belonging loor no»v em
ployed by tlie government on the Missis
sippi and its tribuUtiea in tho transporta
tion and distribution of rations and sup-
p'ies furnished t9 the sufferers by the re
cent overflow, and providing for tbe nec
essary expense thereof. Mr. Vest explained
that there was difficulty in getting supplies
to points in the interior, remote from
Memphis, aud points on the Mississippi,
and that small boa's were required for this
purpose. Hundreds of suflerers wore cn
the point of starvation and the people of
the West and ijoulhwest were generally
responding for their relief. The object
i o v was to render certain boats under the
control of the government engineer
corps available.
Mr. Cockrell had read a telegram from
tlie Merchants’ Exchange of St. Louis,
urging that the assistance of the gorem-
ment be continued, in view of the dis
couraging reports received from tlie
inundated districts. The motion passed.
Mr. Davis reported back tbe fortifica
tion appropriation bill, without amend
ment.
A bill was introduced by Mr. Brown
appropiiatiug $350,000 for tlie improve
ment of the harbor of Savannah.
Tbe bill for a commission on • tbe alco
holic liquor irafic, which again came up
on the calendar, was discussed upon the
pending amendments. Mr. Bayard said
the suppression of pure alcoholic stimu
lants would increase the use of opiates
and drugs ; that such iiad been the expe
rience oi the medical profession. He
moved an amendment lo include an in
quiry on this point among tbe others to
be assigned to the commission. Being
interrupted by the expiration of his five
minutes, he iusisted tiiatthe questto:.
was too large to be considered uuder Ute
five minutes rule, and he accordingly
claimed precedence for the tariff commis
sion bill.
Mr. Conger moved to proceed with
the liquor commission bill. Adopted by
26 to 24—a party vote, except that Mr.-
Maxey and Mr. Davis, of Illiuois, voted
aye with the Republicans. Hahoue
also voted aye. Mr. Morrill voted no
with the Democarts. The liquor com
mission bill was then proceeded witli, and
the pending amendment, offered by Mr.
Bayard, was lost by a party vote—ayes 24,
noes 25. Mr. Camcrou, of Wisconsin,
and Mr. Davis, of Illinois, voted with tlie
Democrats. The bill was then reported
to the Senate from the committee of -the
whole, and Mr. Jonps. of Florida, argued
against the power of Congress, under the
constitution to regulate or interfere with
the liquor traffic in the States.
Mr. Sherman replied that the bill did
not propose any interference with the
license or sale in the States, but merely
instituted an inquiry as to tlie best mode
of dealing with the evils growing out of
the traffic. He thought it a sufficient
answer to the objection to say that infor
mation was needed to euable Congress to
deal with the District of Columbia and
tbe Territories, and to regulate the reve
nue.
Mr. Maxey corroborated and elaborated
the views expressed b7 Mr. Sherman.
The number ot the commission was fixed
atseven, in order that- diverse sentiments
on the temperance issue might be suffi
cient^ represented, and tbe time within
widen tlie commission shall report was
fixed at eighteen montlis.
After some further discussion, tlie bill
was passed—ayes 34, nays 14. The fol
lowing is the vote:

Conger, Davis, of Illinois, Dawes, Ed
munds, Ferry, Frye, Garland, George,

Teller, in favor of tbe bill, were paired
with Messrs Farley, Williams, Davis, of
West Virginia, Jackson and Johnston
against, Mr Brown was paired with Mr.
SaQndeff,
The biii provides for tbe appointment
by tbe President and confirmation by tbe
Senate of a commission of seven persons,
not more than four of whom shall be of
the same political party nor be advo
cates of prohibition, to hold office not
exceeding two. years, who shall investigate
the alcoholic liquor traffic, its relations to
tbe revenue and taxation, and its general
economic, criminal, moral aud scientific
aspects in connection with pauperism,
crime, social vice, the public health and
tho general welfare, and who 3ball
inquire as to the practical results of
license and prohibitory legislation. The
commissioners are to serve without salary
and to report within eighteen months after
the passage of the act. An appropriation
9f too thousand dollars is made for their
expetises.
A protracted struggle for precedence
of consideration for pending measures,
in which the respective merits of the
tariff commission bill, the Japanese
indemnity fund and the presidential
count measures were detailed at length,
occupied the remainder of tho day. A
charge by Mr. Peck that tho protection
ists were seeking to delay action ou tbe
tariff, and that journals owned by them
had made avowals to this effect, was met
by counter charges, Mr. Hawley assertitig
that tho free traders’ programme was to
prevent any change, in order that tho cru
dities and oddities of the present tariff
might remain available as material for
political arguments. Finally, the tariff
bill was taken up and informally laid
aside as unfinished business fur Monday.
At 4:20 tlie Senate went into executive
sessjon, and soon after adjourned until
Monday.

The House then, at 4:30, took a recess
unlit 0:30, the evening session to be for
the consideration of pension bills only.
The eight session of the House was de
leted exclusively to the consideration of

lina, in tho chair). Forty-nine bills were
parsed, and then the House, at 10:05, ad
journed until Monday.
Hero's Lurit,
The man who stood at t!« b_r had “set
Yin tip” several times that evening, and
now he was treating the crowd again.
Tiie different parties had given their
orders for the kind of “poison” they liked
best. One man said, “Pit take mine
straight,” another, “shag in mine,’ an
other, “a red and rosy sling and dou’t
you forget it,” and one man said, “give
me a Niagara Falls;” and then they
clinked glasses and the one who wanted
“Niagara Falls” said “here’s luck 1” and
tossed it off* with a shiver of satisfaction
or disgust, it was hatd to tell which.
When the ntan who w as treating beard
that hoarse voice say “here’s luck,” he
looked at the speaker and turned a death
ly w hite; he knew tbe man; he bad taught
him to drink his first glass; he Lad lured
him from'home and the companionship
of his wife and children, and kept him
out night after night with the boys; they
were both nobby fellows then, young,
with tiie world all before them. It was
only ten years since and now they were
poor, disreputable, and drunkards! The
man who said “here’s luck!” was in rags
under his seedy overcoat; tho man who
treated had pawned his overcoat for
enough to pay for those drinks. Tbe fam
ily of the first had left him—the wife and
children of the other man were starving
under a roof they owed for.
So if he had encompassed his friend’s
ruin he bad not prospered himself, but as
tha man he had dragged down with him
uttered tbe careless “here’s luck” it struck
him like s blow, and for a moment a pan
oramic view of what bis life might have
been flashed befofb lmn; then he tossed
off another draught and sat down with
the company to a game ot cards. The
wish of his frieud for luck seemed to work
good. It might be questionable if that
was luck which brought him money to be
expended in drink, but ho won several
•small sums and was still playing when
his vis-a-vis drew a pistol and held It
cocked in Ills baud. • The men dropped
their cards, but the man who bad his
hand on the trigger was not looking at
them; his eyes were fixed on a point be
yond the screen, where a section of coun
ter was visible with some tempting food
set out iu platters. “Maybe you th-iliink
Pin drunk,” said the man in a husky
voico. “\Y atek a moment and see ine
w-wiug that ere k-fcid.”
The raeu followed the direction of bis
eyes aud saw a small white hand and
arm stretched out from in front of the
screen. It secured a slice of meat aud
drew quickly back.
“It’ll learn th-the k-kid a lesson, and’l
teach it not to steal and keep’t out of tho
penitentiary, if I break it’s a-r-m. Can
do it, too; what’ll vou bet ? ”
He was the same raau who had said:
“Here’s luck 1 ” and now his friend, the
one who had ordered the drinks, spoke
up:
“Don’t fool with the child, Dave,” ho
said, thickly. “I ain’t drunk, but I
wouldn’t want to do any shooting ’thout
any provocation; ’taint our biz, anyhow.’
But os he spoke the pistol went off in
tiie hand of the drunken marksman, and
the shrill, agonized cry of a child rung
through tlie miserable place.
“Fore Uod I didn’t mean it,” cried the
frightened wretch as he was caught by
the collar; ‘<1 only meant to say—scare
it.”
Au hour later the saloon was
cleared of alt but an officer iu charge,
ami in the small room adjoining tbe dying
child, for she was fatally shot, was laid ou
a rickety couch and the doctor had told
them nothing could be done for her.
Prone beside her lay the man who had
treated, holding the wan white fingers al
ready cold in death. The child could not
see; her eyes were fast glazing, but she
kept whispering to the man beside her
from time to time.
“Forgive me, papa! I did not mean to
s’eai 1”
“My God!” moaned the wretched fa
ther, “she asks me to forgive her when I
left ucr to steal orsta:ve 1”
“1 was looking for you,” continued the
child, “but I was so hungry ! I took the
food—it looked so good. Papa its beau
tiful h«re, all light, and warmth—there’s
no fire at home and nothing to eat—we
will stay here, won’t we ?”
In an hour sho was dead. Then they
took Iter home, aud kind people cared for
tho others till she was laid away, and the
tide of lire went on without her. Whether
sho died iu vain, time will tell, but her
father is missed from the haunts oi sin
aud he will never forget tho challenge of
that fatal night—“Here’s luck 1”
UEXEKAIj domestic XE IPS.
Little Rock, March 0.—M. C. Harris,
who was sent down to Desha county by
Governor Churchill to aid in distributing
the government supplies to persons ren
dered destitute by the overflow, returned
yesterday. In an interview with a repor
ter ho said that along the river front of
Desha county, one hundred miles in
length, the destitution is beyond descrip
tion. The water has reached an unprece
dented height and scarcely a farm house
or residence in the bottom has escaped
iuundatlon. The people have been com
pelled to build false floors in their houses,
or to seek safety on higher lands, where
in rudely constructed camps of
brush, boughs and cane, they
sit and wait for starvation and death.
Tbe situation Is appalling, and without
government aid, liberally and quickly
bestowed, there Is uo telling where it will
end- Many persons have-been feeding on
tho carcases of drowned cattle. Personal
investigation, as well as tbe assurances of
respectable gentlemen, convinced Mr.
Harris that uot less than 600 families,
averaging six persons to each, in Dssha
county alaue, are dependent upon the
charity of tho ’government. Ho believed
it tb be no exaggeration to place the gross
number, old and young, at 3,500. Indi
cations point to a long continuance of the
overflow, tho most sanguino hardly uariug
to hope for its subsidence before May.
Chicago, Marek 0.—A special dispatch
from Little Rock, Arkansas, says: G07.
Churchill was found this morning in his
private office examining letters which had
been received from sufferers by tho receut
floods, and dictating dispatches in response
to telegrams for immediate ?i l. “The ex
tern of the disaster can hardly be meas
ured, lie said, in auswer to au inquiry.
“I feel greatly depressed over the situa
tion. I received this morning a number
of letrers Irorn prominent men in the
overflowed districts In Arkansas, who
d a v a gloomy and graphic picture of the
death and suffering around them. I am
also in receipt of numerous telegrams
every day, applying for aid. Tlie
situation is appalling. Ashley county
reports 1,000 persons on the verge ot
starvation, and Chicot nnd Bislia have
each as many if not more. Cross, Crit-
Lee, St Francis,
time at least. I fear that many will die
ot actual starvation. Relief boards are busy
distributing rations at all Available points
throughout the overflowed district. The
work is going on as rapidly as could be
expected, but the trouble is that there are
so manv needy that ft will be almost irn*
possible to supply their wants iu time to
prevetil safleiltig, if not actual starvation.
Judge MangtimT whom I appointed com
missioner on the relieffuud, is working
2ealously. He has appointed sub-agents
lur ait Ute counties, and is continuing his
work effectually. A .considerable quan
tity of rations have been distributed. I
hardly think the amount voted will be
sufficient. Co* gressmau Dunn is of
tho opinion that an equally large
additional quantity will bo n'cdcd.
It will be many weeks before the
sufferers will be able to help themselves,
aud the threatening aspect of the weather
indicates the worst has not yet come. It
may be that the generous people of the
whole country will be rppealed to fur
aid. No one without experience of such
disasters esa form any correct conception
of the present troubles.”
General D. McRae, rasistant secretary
of Stale, said to-day tba'. the overflow had
set Arkansas back ten years. It would be
impossible, lie thought, to raise crops ou
the overflowed iauds this year, other tnan
cotton, and that could not be done unless
the waters subsided shortly aud allowed
tlie ground to dty out somewhat in time for
the spring planting; Experience demon
strates that corn will uot grow ou land
immed’.aUIy succeeding an overflow,
and thus thousands of acres will bo
rendered wholly worthless unless the wa
ter recedes and gives the planters an op
portunity lo plant the lands in cotton.
General McRae also said that the effect of
the overflew mint he to drivo hundreds of
people irom the State; that the colored
people iu the overflowed districts were
already begi 'niug to emigrate to Ten-
ncsce and Missouri in largo numbers, and
that ethers would follow whenever they
could get a boat to take them away.
New Orleans, March 11.—The
Vicksburg Herald says “that the situation
of tho people of the valley is’ bad enough
without having ft exaggerated. • The
great sensations that have been printed
and pictured ot the situation have, in our
opinion, done great harm. Where crev
asses have occurred tlie land, or a greater
portion of it, is for the time being lost.
There are very many persons of the val
ley uninjured, and we have no doubt fair
crops can bo raised in almost all portions
of the valley. While people iu many
places are incouveniOuced and losing
some oi their live stock, they arc not in
such a dreadful plight &3 has been de
scribed. As there are two months before
cotton time is past, tho water is almost
sure to subside in time to raise crops.”
Little Rock, Ark., March 11.—The
water is reported falling in tlie overflow
ed districts, but the stories of suffering
continue to come in and the number of
destitute is constantly increasi. g.
Marksville, La., March 11.—The
Jlttlew says: But what or these overflows
that carry so much dread with them? Do
they not enrich the lands, ami are uot
heavier crops made upou them? We in
cline to the opinion that in point of fact
inundations are beneficial.

London Saturday Review.
If modem manners fall shoit of perfec
tion, their defects can hardly be due to a
want of instruction. A best of etiquette
books provide fur the exigencies of deco
rum with grotesque minuteness, and over
and above these official sources of infor
mation there is a growing tendency among
private persons to constitute themselves
irresponsible judges of whst is popularly
known as “form.” However, this state of
things suggests the uncomfortable reflec
tion that ati age which has produced such
a multitude of .counsellors may have much
to learn, and that pisslbly general prog
ress may have impaired our manners.
Tbe question is one which can hardly be
answered oil-hand; for in manners as
in religion, what is heterodox iu
one age may be orthodox in its suc
cessor, and a true estimate ofthe manners
of a given society requires a careful re
gard to tbe surrounding social conditions.
Tiie relations of tlie sexes supply us at
once with the origin of manners and their
chief field of exercise, and a glance at tbe
past reveals some curious variations, from
time to time fasbionabie, in the manners
of men to women. Women are apt to
pride themselves, and with some justice,
on their higher powers of reading charac
ter aud concealing emotion, which, to
gether with the peculiarly femiuine ac
complishment of wheedling, they insist ou
claiming as an original sexual superiori
ties. However, philosophy declares with
tbe most brutal candor that these qualities
owe their origin to tbe animal iU3tiuct of
self-preservation, workirg under condi
tions which happily differ widely from
those which at present prevail. A wo
man’s desire to fascinate must have
received a considerable stimulus from the
sense that safety of lifo and limb
from tho fury of a .morose
barbarian depended upon the suc
cess of her efforts at ingratiation; and ft
is safe to concludo that her powers of
interpreting the moods of her savage mate
or of repressing exhibitions of feeling
likelv to give him offense were marvel
ously qumkened by the reflection that her
lord and master might resent any error in
tho oue direction or indiscretion in the
other by dashing her bralns-out, and not
improbably eating her afterward. “When
Adam delved aud Eve span, where was
then the gentleman?” fairly expresses a
feeling which is common among ignorant
opponents of social distinctions. The
traditional mother of mankind might
have echoed this sentiment, but in a very
different sense. It is conceivable that
some of the amenities of a later civiliza
tion tiiijpit have proved a welcome relief
to the harshness of her ordinary l : fe. We
can imagine that Adam, after a day’s delv
ing in tho earth cursed for his sake,,
or a toilsome war of extermination
against thorns and thistles, may have re
quired some little “managlug” in the bo-
som’of his family;aud it Is hardjto suppose
thaUho domestic harmony of this primi
tive circle can have have been largely
promoted by the presence of such a per
son as Cain. However, with the habits of
these early times we have no further con
cern than to matk their contrast with
those of tho present day. Wo no longer
habitually butcher our wives, nor dine off
them, nor even subject them to that
modica casllgatio sanctioned by Roman
law. On tlie contrary, tho tables have
been completely turned; womau has made
good use of the weapous which her wants
have*fashioned; the arts which originated
in self-defense are now employed fur sub.
jugation; aud from tlie cowering squaw of
antiquity natural selection has evolved in
the lady of civilization “a fearfully effi
cient inar.-wheedllDg machine.”
Theoretically, then, woman’s c’alm to
the courtesy and homage of man Is now
admitted on all hands, bat practical ex
perience makes ft difficult to resist the
conclusion that the SHvius of the nine
teenth century is net “au. adoration, duty,
and observance” in his auitute to the
otner sex, Witbont reviving in full de
tail tbe practices of tbe times when wo
man was “half wife, half chattel,” we
are careful to keep alive tbe relics of their
actuating spirit. In a oall room, fur in
stance, we may be seen appropriating
their fans to our exclusive enjoyment.
We “give” them dances In our own lord
ly way, and if a mistake arises iu respect
ofa dance so “given,” we sometimes ex
press our convictions with ail engag
ing frankness which savors lu.-s
of the retort courteous than of
the lie direct. We.leave their invitations
answered or unanswered at our own
sweet will (probably as a token of
suzerainty,) aud we repay our hostess’ ef
forts to entertain us by the graceful
tribute ot looking bored. Mr. Trollope
has recorded a protest against tlie men and
tlie manners that can endure to discuss
isdiis •penly by their (JU-utian name;
but the practice enjoys the strong growth
ot all ill weeds and thrives space. Femi
nine views on the subject of tobacco have
of late years been sc far modified as to
partially vitiate any comparison with the
past; bnt it would be instructive to*kuow
how many men yet ariiture to tbe grace
ful custom or removing the'cigar from the
lips on meeting a iady. The easy grace
ofeiurtesy is’too often replactd by a
slangy familiarity not seldom tinged
with a stain of indelicacy, and in all ways
there is a probably leas inward respect
and certainly less outward deference to
woman than an oiderldea 1 of manuers de
manded. It Is sometimes urged that,
whatever be tbe defects of modern man
ners, they contrast must favorably with
those which prevailed in tiie “good old
times” so often eulogized and so seldom
understood. But here, again, we must
take into account the different social con
ditions of a century ajo. Modern taste
may sicken at a gnriPwss of speech and
action which even the preset:ce of woman
was uot always effectual to restrain, but
it must uot be forgotten that these belong
to an age when the culture of tho average
mau was practically nil, aud that of the
average woman culminated in deportment
and sampler work. Coarseness that would
now be rescuted as au intuit form'd^
passed as the merest badinage, and, with
out defending dueling, it may be doubted
whether witcntion.il slights, especially
to women, were not rarer iu the 'lays
when the e’.blcs of courtesy had their
sanction in the sword.
Women, no doubt, are Ihe priucipal vic
tims of this degeneracy of mauners, but
at tbe same timo they are partly responsi
ble for its existence. The same progres
sive Influences which have acted so pow
erfully on men have had their effect*
on tbe opposite sex also. Woman has at
last awakened from the torpor of ages,
and is fain to be up and doing such share
ofthe common work of humanity as falls
to her haud. Tho gain to the community
from this accession to its working power
is immense, but the wholesome impulse
which _ prompts it is mischievously
perverted iu the present ten
dency of women to identify their activi
ties of mind and body with those of men.
That there is much common ground
where man and woman may profitably
work Land in Land is dally becoming
more manifest; but it is equally plain that
tiiere are distinct social functions pecu
liarly appropriate to the special energies
of either sex, which at best can be only
imperfectly discharged by the other. So
long, therefore, as tho activities of wo
mankind do uot encroach on the domain
of peculiarly masculine occupations, tlie
work of the community Is relatively well
done, and the sociil equilibrium remains
unshaken. But the moment this line is
passed, not only does the sum total op
work suffer, but mau being constrained to
regard woman less as a coadjutor and
uoro as a rival, there 'ensues
a disturbance of soc al relations in which
the delicate graces of life are apt to go to
the wall. That chivalry or deference to
woman should flourish in such an atmos
phere is out of the questiou; for though
there are not, as tbe noisy advocates of
her so-called rights would hare it, mere
concessions accorded in good natured con
tempt to her supposed inferiority, they are
the outward and visible signs of an inward,
and we may almostsay spiritual,feelingor
tender reverence for the beauty of her
womanhood—a feeling which becomes
meaningless and impossible if men aud
women are held to be in all respects
alike.
But, though the responsibility for this
social disorder must be shared by both
sexes, its remedy lies almost wholly iu
tbe hand of woman. Where the instincts
are faulty, direct appeals to the reason
are not of much avail. To exhort a man
not to bo a snob is as idle as to recorn-
omtnend a change of skin to the Ethiop.
But beyo'nd the power which belongs to a
woman as queen of society of excluding
by her simple veto contaminating influ
ences from the circles over which she
reigns, she also enjoys, In virtue of her
womauliness, the rare gift of insensibly
refining by her presence the coarse
ness with which she may be brought H
contact. Mr. Austin Dobson has described
ono whose
“Purity (loth hedge her
. Round with such delicate divinity that men
Strained to the soul with money-bag und
ledger
Bend to the goddess manifest again.”
Beyond all doubt there are many such,
and it is to them that we must look for
tlie regenerating impulse which modern
taanuers „ demaud. Tho value ofUieir
womanly qualities to society should make
us regard with jealousy all influences tend
ing to their' destruction. Their to
tal disappearance would be a ca
lamity with which we hope aud believe we
may never be visited ; but should tiire
give the lie to oar predictions and the
evil days come upou us when, by the de
cay of these qualities, eoc'ety shall have
lost Us best bulwark agaiust an iuflux of
corrupting dements, the world may gird
up its loins and prepare to enter upon a
new phase or social development, for the
age j>f chivalry will indeed have departed.
