CONVERSATIONAL pLUENCY,


In the June number of the Galarh
is an article from the pen of Justin Nc
Oarthy, (who recently returned to Eng
land entitled "Amcrican Men and Eng

lows:
"Beyond doubt, the habitual unflu-
ency Ut l may use such word) of
Eoglishmen in conversation explains to
some extent the necessity of the occa-
sional stimulus in tho social intercourse.
Al Eoglishmau wants somebody to help
him out with his talking; and he finds,
as Nacaulay says Of Addison, that wine
unlocks the spell which chains biz
tongue. The American man seems to
need nothing of the kind. When he
chooses to talk GOTTEN, as have said al |

always talk with force and freedom. 1
declare J never met with an American
who could not talk we'll in private. Il
am even constantly thrown 10 surprise
and admiration at the readiness with
which every one can express his ideas,
and the way in which he seems to have
all tho ideas, arranged and classified
ready for use. How slowly, hesitatiugly !
by fits aud starts, in random glimpses,
an Englishman allows you to know
what he thinks on any subject. How !
readily, deliberately exclusively, the !
American pours out all he knows, or at
least, all he chooses to say!
"Thcre are Of course almost innu-
merable points Of comparison and con- 7

In the course of quite lengthy AZ
ticle on Minnesota, the Chicago Post
says:
"We need hardly say that the sceo-
cry OF Minnesota is generally consider
ed tho finest in the Northwest. or that
the . climate, though cold during the
Winter, is remarkably healthy, being
specially noted for its good effects upo1
those afflicted with that dread disease.
consumption. The State has large
number Of furnishing towns and cities
and its inhabitants generally are distin-
guished for enterprise in commercial
and agricultural pursuits and manufac-
lures, and tor progressive ideas and spir-
1t. There is as much lrrepressible 20
ahead among the people Of Minnesota
as can be found among any other half
million people anywhere. It is super
huous to add, therefore, that they are
also generally iatellige and vote
the Radical ticket by large majoritios,
Minnesota having the honor Of being
one of those rare and Radical common
wealths which placed political equality
in their fundamental law before it was
done by the Republic at large"
The Post closes with this prediction !:
"Judgiug of tho future by the past
We may conclude from the Minnesota
OF 1870 that the Minnesota of 1900
Will be greater than the Empire State
Of the present year."
