Hot.House Children

| tPhe New York Tribune comments on
the subject II " Children's Hops, which
are said to be the most noticeable feature
this year at Long Branch and Cape May
where, in cOstillnesS of apparel, IN CON
versaiinn and manner, the balls Of the
young folks are exact reproductions ol
those Of their elders
Men and women who are ally and
shallow says the editor, who from choice
direct their lives TO the meanest ends,
will bring forth children from their era
dies weak, shallow and smai.natured.
Blood tells 50 does the home Rtmos.
phcre; after these, outside influences are
hut obscure and meagre." "a ..r-r-
There Is no reason why, IN tho name
of health and common sense, children
should not dance in proper times and
places, or acquire as insenSlbly as the air
they breathe tho habits and language Of
well.bred people; "but these liliputlan
balls in the city or watCring.places, are
the most significant signs olthe slow cor.
uptiOn of our fashionable social lie. If
there is my remnant of reason or right
feeling left in n woman It will come 10
light in behalf of her offspring, and the
mother who can subject her little child TO
the heat, indigestion, and impure inilu-
ences of n midnight ball, where the
wretchcd little actors ape the dress, the
RbsurditiGs, and even the passions of their
elders, must have lost all her wOmanly
nature in the weakest of vanilies."
The children Of cultivated people are
not found, It is Contended, in these pitt.
able exhibitions. The European plain of
education grows each year into favor in
best American society, "and the ann for
the first five years Of q child's life il to

that decree of scCluRion, with careful
training, especially in the case of girls,

RemonstranCe with our halleduCated
flshionables, the editor knows would be
useless; but to the mechanics and trades
people, the Tribune thinks, II Is always
worth while to speak, as to class "who,
with u weight Of common sense on their
side, and feeling every year the comfort
and power Of an increasing income, arc
yet too apt to initiate In their habits and
creed OF these very shallow fashionable

A correspondent writes from White
Sulphur Springs that Jacob Thompson, OF
Mississippi, in an interview states that the
Southern people will generally accept the
now departure doctrine, but they will
probably be averse u any active partici.
patton in the formation issue for the next
Presidential canvass or the nomination Of
candidates. In his opinion either Thur.
man, Hendricks, or Gov. Hoffman would
make n good President, and from their
known patriotism and craftsmanship unite
the party and draw out the vote. He dc!
MES that any political Ku.Klux has an or.
ganization In tho South, declaring that the
existence Of the Ku.Klux Khan to-
day Is due 10 the fact that the
Southern people have been grossly
outraged by the villNnies Of men who MI
grated 10 the South at the close Of the
war, and, in the absence of civil remedies,
the Southern .people took the law into
their own hands, iot the punishment dc.
served by these crimes, and for the pro.
lection OF their own homes and property.
The negroes wCro nowhere disturbed, cX-
cept where the Carpetbaggers intimidated
them for voting the Conservative ticket,
and that they, were now learning who
their real friends are. A 'N' , b.

A Ylrglnian on the "LOst CursC.'

A yirginiRn on the tLOSt Curse ~
h. l.. Pollard, author of"the lost cause"
and other works in which hatred Of jeff.
Davis and advocacy Of session principles
were combined, Is about to publish q
volume entitled "The Lost Curse" This
startled some OF his Virginia friends, and
Mr.. Pollard therefore writes TO the Lynch
burg Rcpublian to explain himself, Ills
statement shows that some Of his later
magazine articles have indicated that Mr..
Pollard is getting reconstructed. We
quote
In the first place, rs TO our loss OF con-
stitutiOnOl liberty, might not that be to q
greAt extent imaginary-for where was
the assurance that Jefferson Davis, who
during the war ruled harder than Abra.
ham Lincoln, and besides had a demon of
vanity In him, was, In tho case Of his own
success, to become suddenly wise and
benefCent, and TO revert from confirmed
course of despOtlsm to the original object
ofthe war; And might not some Of the
losses which went along with "the Lost
Cause be really counted gainsY We lost
the folly and disgrace Of jeff. Davis; we
lost an unworthy leadership that for years
had betrayed lls, now ceased from troub-
ling in the grave or in the silence into
which public shame has driven II; we lost
slavery, and got rid Of what had been
garment Of shame where It was not shirt
of fire, We lost what had been form.
erly rCproaCh TO us all over the
world; We lost old preiudiCes; we
lost Conceit which had heretofore
blinded The South and provoked the world;
we lost old causes Of party controversy
and old themes which had been prolific
only of envy and strife. And each Of such
losses had its aspect and involvement Of
positive gain. Truly the past war was
not fought in vain, Il It's results were only
to lberali2e political parties In America,
by removing old differences, and TO make
for four millions of human beings the
first really separate experiment OF civil.
zation that has ever happened for them,
by raising them to freedom aNer the neCes-
sary processes Of slavery to make that
freedom really safe and fruitful. If In
this matter we of the South have truly
iorsaken old opinions Of the holplessness
of tho negro after slavery had ceased to
care for him, and buried all such dOgnlas
and cOnCeits in the light Of the new reve.
lation and romance Of our new citlzen;"
II, in short, emancipation has proved a
success, then, indeed, thercis a Lost Curse
to match the Lost Cause, and on such an
titllesis alone we may balance the accounts
