Hotel Life There and Here.

The Atlas is vindicating the char
acter of the American hotels against
the misstatements of certain English
travelers-John Oxenford among the
rest-concernlng them. AS an off
set, we have a graphic exhibit Of the
shortcomings of the hostelries' in the
course Of which we are told
''In one of those, if you order special
dinners your expenses are trebled.-
4ou must 90 outside of the hotel for
a bath. If you want to play billiards
you must tramp over the town until
you discover a table unengaged. To
dispatch a Telegram you must employ
a conlnaisstonair. \ porter must be
sent to order your horse or carriage ;
another Is necessary to procure tick
cts for the Jheaters. If you desire to
learn the news, boy must be en-
ployed to buy your papers, or you
must patiently await your turn to
pour over the advertisement sheet of
the coffee room Times. If YOU like
ice IN your drinks, the fact is reprov-
ingly mentioned IN the bill. 1t is
impossible to get supper later than
eleven o'clock, and so you are driven
out to get it. Unless you hire pri-
vate parlor you have no place to re-
ceive your friends, unless you take
them into the coffee-room, where 9TH
er people are eating, or into the
smoking-room, where everybody else
is drinking. The menu consists of
about twenty dishes furnished with
remarkable but wearisome regularity
al the year round. To procure a
good cigar inside London hotel is a
miracle, and so on through whole
chapter of miracles and inconvenien-
ces. The fact is that there can be
but one improvement in an American
hotel We refer to the customary
clerk and his posity-not to say
insoIence-his selfsufficient assump-
tions, his gaudy but not neat trap
pings, and his thorough disregard OF
all that approaches spirit of accom-
modation If these could be altogether
reformed, we could say that the Amer
lean hotel system is unsurpassable.

Mineral Point weekly tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1859-1868, 1868-06-24

when he made mild but manly issue
with Johnson, he said of the Civil
Rights Bill, III the first moment of its
enactment:
That law, misrepresented as 1t
has been by its opponents in Congress,
viii never be repealed. and in the
years that are coming it will be the
proudest reccollection and crowning
honor of those men, who stood up IN
the national councils, that they gave
to that American Magma Charta their
cordial support"
He treated in this way taunt of
the Democracy:
The new nickname flung at us is
Radicals | had rather be called a
Radical than rebel at any time
l am Radical for right against wrong
for liberty sgainst slavery; for JUS
tlce against tyranny Radical friend
of my country, and Radical hater of
every enemy of my native land |
believe in Radical government, of
the people the world over and nv
sympathies 60 out toward the Rad
lcals, who are trying to initiate our
free institutions in Greece, Italy,
Ireland and Mexico. / wish to see
line of Republics encircle the globe. :"
Here is another curt passage:
L am for leveling up rather than
levelling down. God do so to me,
if | do aught more to crush any man
down lower"
In short, this is Mr.. Colfax, as de-
scribed in the words of his pastor and
poet at South Bend, his home:
Thou art the clear
Persuasive orator of right; the pure,
Unsuled patriot the changeess, sure
And genial friend, to many hearts how dear !"

Sidewalk Etiquette.

Some of our Chesterfeldian ex
changes have the following, on side
walk etiquette, which we commend to
the attention of our readers.
Only villagers, or persons with
rural ideas, any longer contend that
ladies should always be given the in
side Of the pavement In passing. The
rule adopted IN all cities is to turn to
the right, whether the right leads to
the wall or to the gutter. An OBJ
seryence of this common-sense rule
would obviate much unpleasant
.scrouging' by over-gallant gentlemen
who persistently crowd for the out
side of the walk. Another common
custom, not required by common eti-
quette, and which is as nearly mex
planably absurd, is the practice q.
men filing out of church pew, max
ing themselves as ridiculous as an
awkward squad practicing catch
step in order to give the women the
wrong end of the pew. Another, Is
that of man, when at promenade or
walk with lady, keeping himself on
the outside OF the pavement. a lit
tie exercise Of judgment will convince
any person of the perfect uselessness
of this bobbing back and forth at ev-
cry corner. The common rule is this :
If men and women are walking to-
gether, she should always be at his
right arm, whether it be toward the
inside or the outside OF the walk
then the women will not be showed
against the passers. Those who gig
gle at persons who follow this rule
are themselves the 'greenies, and
should read the book of manners be-
fore they indulge in the laugh Of fash.
ionable fools

Atocities Of the Abyssinian
King.

The London Times CORRESPONDENT
III Abbysinia says that on the dav be.
fore the arrival of the British army
at Magdala, Theodorus summoned
all the prisoners to his presence, and
IN cold blood butchered over three
hundred of them. The correspondent
of the New y ork Herald confirms this
statement. He SAYS that about TWEEN.
ty yards from where the Europeans
had anguished in captivity was high
cliff down which Theodorus mad
thrown the bodies of three hundred
and eight slaughtered prisoner. Step.
ping cautiously upon the CORY rocks
TO the very verge of the cliff" SAYS
the correspondent
\ sight presented itself which
has no parallel in modern history.
Not forty feet below there Law pvr.
amid of naked human bodies, twenty
feet high and hundred feet in cir.
cumference at the base, slashed. cut,
emboweled, shot, stabbed, dismember.
ed and decapitated. BOYS doubled
up backwards, faces half eaten by
the hyena and iackaI; men, with their
entrails stretched for twenty feet over
the bodies, dismembered, with throats
cut, grinned ghastly at the Mortified
spectators. Women decapitated, with
marks of ignominy on their bodies,
clasped with rigid hands a limb of the
nearest body, or stood like forked
stumps shoulders firmly wedged in
the mass of decomposition Even
while we gazed on this most awful
sight, hyenas shufled upward and
gorged themselves with the putrid
human flesh
After the death of Theodorus, the
British officers seemed possessed with
mania for royal relics, and selected
the bloody shirt of the monarch, which
was quickly torn in strips and distrib-
uted among the Exchange.

MUSCLE.

To have muscle IS not to be a gym.
mast; and to be muscular and enjoy
robust health it is not necessary to be
able to leap five feet four inches clear
to put up ll2 pound dumb-bell, to
perform the giant swing, or to 90
through dangerous looking gvrations
on the trepeze. These are only the
performances Of gymnasts, who, hav.
ing attended to preliminary exercises
feelconscious of their strength, and
have the natural desire TO accomplish
what is difficult. Muscle is the con.
comitant Of regular exercise, and that
of bodily health. \ man whose '.us>
mess is to walk much, to climb SUI Try
stairs, finds that his limbs adapt tn M
selves to the task, and while he skins
two at time up any number of flights,
his friend, the blacksmith, who can
WELD a sledge all day without firing,
putTs and blows like porpoise. The
point is evident, all the muscles should
be developed equally, and this only
can be done 10y a regular course of
gymnastics. The gymnasium is as
necessary, aye more, to youth than the
college, for while with robust health n
young man can "pick up ideas. with
all the learning to be had he cannot
"pick up health without gymnastics;
1t is better TO fortify against Ill health
than to recover lost health Twenty
minutes day, or forty minutes each
other day, at the chest bars, parallel
bars, high bars, weight raisers, and
cll. bs, will give any man muscle, a
graceful carriage, 4 good appetite,
health. life.

The CHIN FEvER.-This affection /,
usually prevelanl among boys from
fifteen to eighteen years old. y ou
don't know what chin fever IS perhaps.
The first symptoms are frequent
inclination to pass the hand over the
chin, sometimes over the upper lip.
The sufferer has an expression as
though impatiently expecting some
thing, which is delayed in coming. He
will frequently gaze ca efully into the
looking glass, as though it were the
mirror of fortune As the trouble in
creases the afflicted boy may be seen
stealing away to some retired place
and striving to get little ease by
applying strong soapsUds to his face;
so anxious is he sometimes to get rid
of his trouble that he has been seen to
threaten his throat with his fathers
razor. As usual, the quack medicine
dealers take advantage Of persons III
such trouble, and advertise com pounds
warranted to cure the worst cases in
from three TO six weeks bat their
applications only aggravate the
symptoms, and cause more frequent
tnrnIngs to the glass and Z, ore violent
manipulations Of his face 1t Is a relief
to know that this trouble IS not fatal,
and disappears as the beard grows,
