YANKEE IFREvERENcE. George Alfred Town
send. who ia writing admirable letters from
Europe to the New York World, gives the follow
ing sketch Of an English steamer scene
EfThree weeks ago took passage for Havre on
a channel steamboat. As ! went into the cabin
to select my berth, fonnd that all the places
some twenty in number were engaged for the
Duke Of Beaufort.
His grace is to give us the honor of his pres
enee tonight, said the steward, with suppressed
and almost aTed articulation.
81 recalled this duke as the stauneh conserEa-
tive who recently advised the admiralty to build
no more monitors, because they were Yankee in
yentinns.
He came along the special cars about one
O'Clock the boat being detained an hour and
half for his benefit. whereby all the passengers
missed the noon train for Paris, and arrived eight
! hours behind the company time.
C He was associated with lot of young fellows,
perhaps ogerbearng, wall-faced, bullying men,
| who followed the steward around--he bowling,
4 abased Notwithstanding the vessel to
be turned inside out for their accommodation, and
because they had three folks more than they bar
i gained for in their party they actually took the
/ pillows and cushions away from three astonished
| and unresistng poor Ffenchmen who had PAID
their full fare, aud they then secured the places.

THE II RAILWAY SPINE "a Neeu Disclose
A passenger, WHO happens to be one, with others,
who have received the shock from rall car
crash frequently gets out with his limbs whole,
his BODY nnbruised and his mind unconscious Of
any disorder beyond a general weakness and con-
fusion: which he sets down vaguely TO shock to-
the system, while his friends charltably attribute
I it to excessive fright. By and by, however, he
finds and they find: that 4 he is not the man he
was" he has lost bodily energy, mental capacity,
business aptitude; he becomes i'll and irritable,
grows pallid, loses his memory, finds his sleep dls-
turbed frets abont the state of his eyes, loses his
delicacy of touch and finally, displays all the
symptoms Of paralysis. He is, ia fact suffering
conclusion of the spine--not merely OF the bony
case, bit Of the spinal marrow or cord which 1t
contains and from which nerves of sensation and
motion are sent to all parts of the body. The
4 conclusion has shaken the nervous force out OF
him. Just as, to use an ingenious illustration OF
