ENGLISH POLI1ICS AND THE ENGLISH

PRESS.
How little the press of England reflects tho
temper of the English people is remarka-
bly, illustrated by tho manner in which tho
Republican movement has been treated
by the organs of opinion in the me-
tropolis In America such move
mcnt would have been mirrored in
q thousand newspapers, and discussed in all
its phases before it got fairly started. In Lon
don it has been ignored with lofty contempt
by tho heightened press, until bar0nets be-
come political crusaders, and enormous mobs
applaud denunciations Of the monarchy. Then
the subject is taken up and gently ridiculed.
at may be assumed" says The Saturday Reuiew,
"that there are number of people throughout
"tho country who have persuaded themselves,
cor are willing to be persuaded, that Republic
"can form of government would, somehow or
"other, be Of personal advantage to them, and
cit is just as well that they should come
"forth and lot us SEQ what kind of
"people they are" Sir Charles Dixie,
this paper also informs us, "has re-
"ceved the public thanks of the patriots
"of the Hole in the WALL and vOta of con-
"fidence from Universal Republican League
(which seems to meet somewhere in the slums
"of Vauxhall" And 80 the organs of the
gcntlemanly interest one and all peer through
gold-rimmed eyeglasses at this ragged object
called Republicanism, and find it matter for o
little cynical jest. Meanwhile the heir to the
throne lies sick-perhaps dying-and mob,
getting every hour bigger and more sullen.
clamors at tho gate of the palace, and asks
whether the people shall pay any longer for o
royalty which they do not want.
Perhaps it will be good while yet before
tho house of Hanover is swept away; but
surely tho time has come for seriously con-
fronting the danger. This is no riot of Hole
in the Wall Clubs or hungry communists. 1t
is o spontaneous commotiOn of the masses
which must DO felt in every corner of
the island, and touch the founda-
ton of British strength as possibly it has
not been touched before in modern times.
Numerically the Republicans may be weak /;
but tho least sagacious observer must see that
they ore multiplying with extraordinary ra-
pidity and gathering courage and prudence
every day. Englishmen do see it, and arc
deeply moved by it but the newspapers which
reflect the weak opinions Of the clubs rather
than the pregnant thought of the people have
hardly caught glimpse as yet Of the signia-
canoe Of the situation.

Of education; but We believe that before
long o rational education for women VIII
include the chemistry and science OF tho
kitchen. The Advanced Female, Of course,
will continue to find in politics
or communing with departed Greeks on tho
house-tOp, the career which the training OF her
children does not afford; but enlightened ana
educated women are beginning even now to
perceive that the choice and assimilation OF
diet are, in fact, but difficult and delicate
part Of the physicians science, and that the
prevention of disease by these means Is as
honorable work as the cure of it by drugs.
In the West and South there is, no doubt,
habit Of waste as regards food; but the native
American is seldom glutt0n. His fault, in
deed, lies in q tendency the other way. In
fashionable classes Of the baser sort the tables
are usually scantily supplied. In that de-
batable land, where dwell mechanics who
have caught the itch for gentiity, and
the unhappy horde who struggle for
appearances, the larder is invariably stintcd
TO supply the Sunday suit of broad
cloth or the sleazy silk. In New-England.
too. both ascetic and aesthetic theories COM
bine to put the poor stomach on bali rations.
We confess we nave uO luith III 0iApcuCc u
week creeds of any sort. any moro than in
DR., Dio Lewis's ideal dinners, where hospitality
will extend itself in the shape OF rare thoughts,
melon, and glass Of lemonade. The first
duty of O man to his children is to provide
them with sound bodies, for neither mental
power nor religious faith can he healthy with
ont them; and sound bodies require the con-
slant and sufficient, though temperate, use OF
wholesome, wel-coOked food. TO dress tho
body and starve tho stomach is like gliding
the steam engine and putting out tho lire
under the boiler.
AS for the lemonade and melon dinners OF
our aesthetic friends, we have shrewd sus-
picion that finer thoughts would have grown
ont of q foundation of beef or turkey. In
odd contradiction to their contempt for food,
and belief that genius lives on invisible
mama, is tho fact that the great leaders OF
modern literature have been hearty eaters II
not bons rirants. Goethe, Schiller. Milton
Byron, Lamb, Scott, Shakespeare himself
Thackeray, Dickens, have left on record their
pcnchant for good dinners, and we are afraid
would have received their modcum OF thought

CONCERNING EATING,

A leading journal is making the question of
eating prominent in England, just now, in its
search after the method by which a man can
live on sixpence day. Hobby-ridcrs and
economists of all sorts rush into the confess
sional through It's columns with disclosures
which would amaze tho well-fed, reticent
American. We have condolences from Welsh
men who "require five meals day and four
pounds of mutton for dinner" Ito an intelli-
gent workingman who "has lived for twenty
"ycars in good health on fourpence worth Of
refuse -four per week, and pennywOrth of
"lard or apples as Sunday treat )" and be-
tween these extremes, rules for the stomach
from exclusive vegetable, fruit, meat, and
bread eaters. We do not suppose that
this mode of sixpence- starvation when
found, will do much to appease Mr..
Odger's lean and fractions disciples.
The health of the body polite would
be better promoted Just now by stufiing
John Bulls stomach than by further cramping
it scientifically. Other Kings than Cesar
should try to have men about them that arc
fat Common sense has taught Americans the
folly of absolute general rules for eating based
by any man on his individual needs. The fat,
big-boned Pennsylvania Dutchman grows
strong with his blowing. pork-scrapple, and pipe;
while the bilious, nervous Journalist, whose
whole work is done with the one pulpy men,
Der, must have fruit and sleep, and often uses
tobacco and liquor at such risk as one who
puts match to dry finder.
The difficulty in this country is that the
subject of diet is one on which there is uni
versal ignorance as we'll as indifference Every
child requires food suited to its age and ply
steal development. Not one mother in thou
sand En0ws that certain nutriment at one
period will insure her boy or girl strong

The lonc-expectcd expose of tho Catacazy
affair, which was made yesterday, is not half
so choice morsel of scandal as tue gossips
had hoped. Nearly all the points have been
dropped ont from time to time, and we have
learned that the Minister was abusive Of and
personally obnoxious to the President and
others in authority; that he did much lobby
ing in Congress- and that he wrote for the
newspapers. All of which. however it accOrds
with ;he customs of tho country, was undiplo-
matte uDdignifcd, and should have brought
to Mr.. Caiacazy his disgrace.

The speech of Sir Charles Dixie, latoly de-
livered at Leeds, appears to have been tenn
nerate and calm defense of Republican pr'n'
ciples. The report of his speech which we re-
publish to-day has no marks of heat, and is
by no means open to tho fierce criticisms
which wero called forth by his previous re-
marks on the extravaganza of the Monarchy.
lie makes good point by saying that the
cost Of Monarchy is no argument for a Re-
public; he would fuvor Republic, though its
COS, were far greater than Monarchy.

The composition of the House Committee
on Civil Service Reform gives some encourage

Kelley of Pennsylvania, the Chairman, was
elected on q Civil Service Reform platform
and his own antecedcnts are of a character to
lead us to expect real work from him in the Com

Young Men who go to New York.

The New York Tribune thus speaks of the
Young Mems Christian Association of that
city:
New York is crowded to suhocation with
young men from all parts of the country it is
the arena to which every ambitious boy brings
his shrewdness, or skill, or strength, for final
success or defeat. He has cut loose from
home, old acquaintance, old habits; hei NOR
bid to-day with vanity in his hot young blood
and strength; morbid tomorrow with anger at
his own nsignfcance in the crowd; homesick,
perhaps, and ashamed of it shut in by the in
different hurrying multitude Oh himself, his
petty failures or petty successes. No boy will
be compelled into isolation that We all know
least of all the genial hearty fellow, eager for
sympathy and comradeship, whose power and
promise are worth the most. lie cannot cross
the street that vice does not open dozen
avenues for him to enjoy society, friends, pleas
ure ; avenues where every aesthetic taste he
has is cunningly gratifed, while q sure hold is
laid on his animal nature to drag him down.
What shall he do? He that lives in solitude, >
says La Rochefoucauld, :" is either brute or
god. The ordinary young man is neither.
True, the churches are open, but Sunday
schools and prayer meetings require for their
enjoyment a certain amount of active piety
which it is most likely he has never felt. He
enters the only pleasant doors accessible to
upon him, and he goes down, with that end
less, wofu caravan that have gone before. Now
it is for this boy and his fellows that the Asso.
citation are doing their work. They profer
him help from the hour he arrives in New
York, stranger and alone hold out their
hands with hearty goodwill, giving him a
chance at once for what he will probably most
feel the need-an entrance into society of cul-
tured and wel-bred people. Religion is not
thrust Extensively upon him their building,
as costly and complete as the most expensive
clubhouse in the city, offers him the means
for the strengthening and amusement Of both
body and mind at the triAing outlay Of few
dollars per annum. He finds music, art, sci
entific and popular lectures, a gymnasium, par
lors fitted up with elegance, billiard and chess
rooms no means have been left unused to
turn the bright ard cordial side of an honOra.
BILE lite to the gallant young fellow who is fight
ing his way manfullv alone.
