Rules for EscOrting Ladies.

/
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, in a long homily on the conduct
of ladies' in the capital, among other things,
says:
| Never, or very rarely, offer to carry lady's
shawl or parasol, or put your hand on her
shoulders or round her waist (as is so often
done) in assisting her out of the carriage, or
| into her seat. 10 delicate woman ali sucI,
cIapping and clawcg is the most insufferable
! rudeness. The proper way when you alieht
IS 10 of1er your lett arm as support for the
lady's right hand, and to hold your right hand
in readiness, should the exigences Of skirts.
&C., permit her taking it with her left. In as
cending a staircase, Keep side by side with the
lady but do not be too ostentatous in ofterinp
your arm, lest in attempt to take it she negects
the management of her skirts, steps on her
dress, and either falls or tears it out at the
waist.
fyou attend two ladies, place the one next
you who is entitled, either by rank or prefer.
ence, to the post of honor-but on no account
whatever walk between them. A man with a
lady on each arm is laugeable paraphrasc of u
donkey ladend with two panniers. Observe
different rule, however, in taking your places il,
a concert room. The gentleman and lady who
have guest Il speak now of the hotel table,
for we are really getting to know scarcely any
other in this country) always place him or her
between. lfthe guest are also two, then you
place your lady guest between your wife and
yourself, while the gentleman takes the other
end Of the line, leaving the ladies' in the middle.
The logic, as well as the convenience of all
these little arrangements, well be suggested by
single thought-and how much awkwardness,
and consequent modification and annoyance,
would be avoided by careful observance of
these simple rules.
There is one practice among gentlemen ut
theatres, concerts, &c., which ought to be con.
demned ard tabooed as monstrous barbarism;
that is, leaving lady alone once or twice in
the course Of the evening and going out to
stake drink" This detestable habit is purely
American, and it certainly is a slight which no
lady of spirit ought 10 endure. As TO chewing,
of course no gentleman can do that in the
presence of ladies' Another disgraceful thing
is the way in which ladies' sit all evening with
gentleman's arm pressed closely around the
back of the neck, in a manner which, anywhere
else, would be called downright hugging.

We have no patience with Jeremy Diddlers,
particularly those Of the gentlemanly class,
whosn dainty hands refuse TO earn the food
which their luxury.loving mouths never refuse
to eat. Those dandy idlers seem to be under
the hallucination that they are too good to work;
that they were made for ornament rather than
for use; that their porcelain corporations came
into the world witha large credit in their favor.
In other words. that the world owes them q
living, in return for their condescending to be
born. Not only must the flowers bloom, the
birds sing, the bees make honey, and the trees
bear fruit to regale the senses Of those exquisite
aristocrats; but the whole human family must
labor for their support. The farmer must dig
the soil, the sailor plow the sea, the merchant
devote himsolf to trade,' and the student to
letters, all to adorn and amuse, and feed q class
of idle swindlers, who contrive to live on the fat
of the land, at the expense of the common in.
dustry of society, They thus violate the fat of
the Almighty-athou shalt earn thy bread by
the sweat of thy brow" and contradict the
that will not work peither shall
he eat"
As we began by saying, we have no patience,
upou families and society, who
consume the bread they have not the manhood
to earn. Every mouthful they eat, every
article they wear, is robbery from him who
earned it. And yet these very "Diddlers" will
turn up their dainty noses in aristocrstc disgust,
at the hard and independent workers to whose
labor they are indebted for every necessary a.
we'll as luxury Of life To dig they will not, and
to beg they are ashamed. And yet they do not
hesitate to borrow and rob and swindIe their
lazy way through life. It is our honest opinion.
that for all such miserable Dddlers, prompt
suicideois far more honorable than such miser-
able elsemosynary existence N. Y. Mirror.

The next steamer from abroad will probably
bring stirring intelligence from the scene of
hostihties in the East--unless the Hardness and
timidity that have sometimes olouded the closing
career of commanders, who in youth were all
activity and daring should characterize the move
ments of the Anticipated generals and admirals to
whom the conduct Of the war has been entrust-
ed. Approximations Of the kind seem already to
have manifested themselves in some quarters
The Baltimore American says, the excitement
that attended the preparation for the WARM Eng
land has died away, and feeling of disappoint-
ment is manifesting itself at the slewness with
which active operations are carried on. and the
hardness of the allies in placing themselves in a
position where they can encounter the Russians
Compliant is heard that in place of action
there is speech making, and that while the troops
linger at Malta and Gallipolis, and their eomman-
ders enjoy the gaieties OF Paris and Vienna there
is danger that Omer Pacha may be surrounded
by empowering force and the first general
engagement prove disastrous to the Turks aud
disgraceful to the allies. The detached move
menis by which the French and English troops
gather in the Turkish dominions, and an alleged
want of concert in their arrangements, certainly
give ground for this apprehension. The Admi-
rails in the Black Sea receive eaustic admoni-
ton from the Landon Times for their supineness
in allowing Russian vessels of war TO carry off
the troops from the abandoned fonts on the eau
casian sea board. After the warning, so formal
ly given to the Cars officers at Sebastopol that
they would not be allowed to leave that harbor
their successful achievement shows a great lack
OF management, or something worse, upon the
part of the combined fleet, unless, as VIC see in
timated, their Admiras may have been hamper
by instructions that prevented their nterfer-
ence.

II will be seen by the following extract from the
Washington correspondence Of the Philadelphia
Gazette. that large number Of the Democracy
are dissatisfied with the manner in which the spells

Marcy;
The Ohio New York and New England demo
oracy hayo entered protest against the contcm-
plated or suggested appointment of the Hon Will
am MeCandless 10 either the Chilinn or Central
American mission. They declare that Pennsyl-
yania has had more than her share of diplomatic
honors. II was understood last spring that Mr..
Buchanan accepted his mission only on the condi-
ton TINT it should not be charged against that
quota Of Federal patronage to which the key stone
democracy was entitled. The pledge is said to
have been given, but after the departure of Mr..
b., Gov Marcy. us head book keeper, insisted on
carrying that item 10 the ledger on Pennsy yanla
account In addition To this lions share of the
spoil, the State Is charged with Randolph Clay,
minister 10 Peru, Mr.. Berlen, secretary of lcga-
ton, and n nir share of eonsnlates, all upon the
back Of n cabinet minister. Ohio has nothing
worth speaking Of, Medary having thrown up his
mission, and Governor Wood his consulslip Mt
