SIDEWALK ETIQUETTE.-Only villagers, or
persons with rural ideas, any longer contend
that ladies should always be given the inside
of the sidewalk in passing. The rule adopt
ed in all cities is to turn to the right, wheth-
er the right leads to the wall or the gutter
and an observance of this common sense rule
would obvate much unpleasant 'scrouging"
by over-gallant gentlemen who persistently
crowd for the outside of the walk. Another
common custom, not required by fashionable
etiquette, and one which is nearly as mex
plainably absurd, is the practice of men ming
out of church pew, making themselves
ridiculous as an 9 awkward squad" practic-
ing catch step, in order to give woman
the wrong end Of the pew. Another IS that
of man, when at promenade or walk with
a lady, to keep himself on the outside OF the
pavement. A little exercise ofjudgment will
convince any person of the perfect useiessness
of this bobbing back and forth at every cor
ner. The common rule is this: If men and
women are walking together, she should al
ways be at his right arm, whether 1t be to-
ward the inside or outside Of the walk then
the women will not be showed against the
passers. Those who giggle at persons who
follow this rule are themselves the green
les. " and should read the book of manners
before they indulge in the laugh Of fashion,

Who is TRUMBULL Pin response
to this question the Chicogo Repub-
lican Photographs Trumbull in the
following style:
"He is a cold-blooded, cold heart
ed, cold thoughted man. A piece
of ice, placed in the palm If his
hand, would hardly melt with the
latent heat communicated from his
own friged nature. He dwells in
the realms of metaphysics. He
knows nothing of human sympa-
thies. He possesses no warmeth OF
feeling in common with the mass of
mankind. A monstrosity Of cold
calculation, he weighs the fate Of a
nation as a misery butcher would
weigh ten cents worth Of meat,
afraid to give one-tenth ola ounce
In excess of positive exsctness, lest
he might lose one centime Of filthy
lucre. A ssaden gush OF generous
sentiment would startle him as one
seized with the cholera, and drive
him to an instant application OF
stringent remedies"

The retirement of Count Bis
marck from the control of the Prus-

for only the period of three months,
is regarded in France as likely to
be final The Herculean labors he
has undergone, united with his Pc
culiar Feasibility oftemper, logged
ness and indomitable industry,
have seriously undermined his
health. Whether he returns to his
position or not, he has already
made mark in history equal to
that of Cavuor. Both statesmen
have succeeded in blotting out from
their countries the petty divisions
and discussions of centuries, and
elevated them to formidable Powers.
1t now remains to be seen whether
their successors will possess the
ability to follow in the track opened
to them, or lose through error or
supineness the brilliant achieve
