Our TRoLLoPING TROLLoPE. A Traveller,
who styles himself "Rubo," has been adding
to the labors of Trolopc, Fridlcr, Maryatt and
Dickens, in the cndeavor to enlighton the Eng

'IRubo" gees far beyond any previous writer
upon the habits and peculiartios of the Alneri-
cans. We cannot resist giving some Of the
choicest specimens Of the authors style. o.
the American people he says;
"The men are sallow, and the women tallow
the women are wanting in all that makes iemi-
ninc nature beautiful, and their efforts t. sup
ply such deficiency by art, are totally Wa lting
in the great artistic qualifications eiare .rten
in which the French excel. The mcn are
merely long, lanky Yankees, lathy and uncuuth,
with narrow napes to their nocks like women.
They never have any boyhood, and never live
to grow old. They are sour and gloomy, not
from constitution, but habit; have no faith in

''They are truly Vulgar, ignorant, brag-

some with tobacco; some are hurried to the
very yawning gates of their cemeteries by ex-
cesses in religion or excuses in politics. excess
es in commerce or excuses in speculation; or
tribuIations of mind induced by a complication
I,ef these causes. But calamity is not of long
life in America, for the men are soon dead and
soon forgotten. Duels and assassinatons also
help to thin their ranks, for, strange as it may
appear, it can be proved that famous as Italy
Sicily and Spain are for the stiletto, there are
many more assassinatons and Standings in the
slave States of America, than in all those coun.
tries put together. This IS a melancholy truth
but as the minds of the masters in the South
crn States insensibly become degraded by the
mere contact, not to say association, with be-
Mgs so degenerated as their slaves, the mora
sense becomes planted, they care little for as
sassDatlon or murder, and nothing for stabbino
and manning"
Again he slys:-
