The Washington correspondent Of the

the President, the etiquette upon the oc-

"A state dinner is given every Wednes-

be dined at least once during the winter.

Duty OF the Hour-A United DemOe-
raeys


The value of the victory by which the
great Empire State was transferred from
Radical to Democratic possession is best
estimated by its effects upon the political
future of the whole country. 1t would,
indeed be a comparatively barren triumph
were its influence confined TO the limits OF
New York. and its results of merely
temporary character The real slgnih-
canee of the victory achieved last fall Is TO
be found in its bearings upon the Con-
gressional election of the present year, and
in the Presidential campaign which three
years hence will We confidently bsheve,
give US a Democratic occupant Of the
White House. Viewed IN this light, 1t IS
an unerring indication Of the great rearc
ton which Is going on in the popula-
mind, and presages the inevitable destruc-
ton 81 the Radical party The TACT that,
dessite OF the vast patronage and power
which that party welded in this State,
n was unable TO save itself from a crush
inc defeat. is a most ominous sign Of still
greater disasters IN the future.-When 1t
Is remembered that now, for the first time
in thirty years, the Democracy have OBJ
tanned complete control of all the depart
ments of the State Government, the full
extent and value Of their success can be
thoroughly appreciated.
With all the power by this triumph in
our hands, directed by ordinary judgement,
by practical common sense, there should
be no doubt as to the result of the next
Congressional election. The Radicals them
selves are beginning to be alarmed at the
gloomy prospects and the dlssenslons
which have already broken ont among
some of the leaders in Washington strong
ly tend to increase the apprehensions and
alarm which have been created by their
overwhelming defeat in this State. The
stupidity by which Grants administration
has been characterized from the beginning,
the serious blunders which have marked
its domestic and foreign policy, ITS un-
blushing nepotism, its prodigal extrava-
gance, its favoritism to certain parties at
the expense of Others, its utter indifference
to the true welfare Of the people-all these
causes are cooperating to bring about the
downfall of the Radical party at the next
Presidential election and to restore the
Democracy to power throughout the whole
country.
And vet it is within the bounds Of pos
sibility that the prospect which now ap-
pears so bright and promising may not be
realized. Discussions in our own ranks,
in the very moment of success, may blast
these promises before they can be fulfilled.
The grasping ambition OF a few may work
to the serious injury of the majority, and
what is still worse, to the lasting detriment
of the great cause which the Democracy o.
the whole country have so much at heart

American Penmanship Abroad.

Those who look over the Register of the
Langham Hotel in London, where Ameri-
cans are wont to congregate, and then eI-
anime the registers which are more purely
English in their penmanship, will be struck
with the superior dash and freedom of
hand displayed by the former over the
latter This comes from the skill in the
arm and the muscular movements which
Americans possess, while the English still
too generally use the old stiff and tremu-
lous finger movement. 1t arises from the
neglect of this important branch so COM
mon in England. In America, the three
well known Rs, which are the basis of all
education, are placed in the order in which
they should be, Reading, Riting, and Rith-
metic; in England, at present, they seem
to be considered in Importance thus =
Reading, 'Rithmetic and 'Riting This
accounts for the great superiority of
American copy books over the English,
and it is well known that American script
and bank note engravers lead the world.
Foster, an American, published his system
IN London some years ago, and it is said
he cleared 100000 from It. Darnelrs sys-
tenn, which has for some time been the
leading one of England, is merely modi-
hcation of Fosters But several Ameri-
can systems-such as the Spencerian, Bah
bittonian, Payson, Dunton & Scribner's-
have lately been republished in Great
Britain, and are destined to work a great
reform One of the most eminent London
firms desired, as they said, to publish the
best system of Penmanship in the world,
and, after examining works from all quar-
ters, finally chose the Babbittonian,
which is perhaps the best explained sys-
TEN of the day. While was in London
heard an anecdote from a teacher which
shows the awakening on the subject which
is taking place there A pupil was trans
ferred from one of the Red Lion Square
schools to the Middle Glass schools, and
his penmanship was so remarkable as to
surpass that of the whole of the thousand
pupils in attendance. On making inquir-
les, they found he had gained his skill in
a short time under the Babbittonian sys-
tenn, and were so pleased that they imme-
mediatcly engaged a gentlemen versed in
that method, who now spends his whole
time in teaching ii with great success
| The English first gave Us our language
and taught US how to use it, but by giving
them such works as Webster, Worcester
and our fine works on Penmanship, they
may in return gain much that is profta
bic from us-C6r. Of the Boston IFareleT
