How Tic Figures in hooks and ON the

From FraserS Magazine (English).
One explanation of our Ignorance of
the social characteristics of the Amer
leans may be found in the fact that our
impressions of them are, partly, de-
rived from the books of travellers who.
in hurried Journeys through the
States, have simply noted such super
ficial traits of the people as came
under their observation in hotels, rail-
roads and steamboats,; but also. in still
greater degree, l conceive, from those
British works of fiction in which ma
tives of the United States have been
introduced, the individuals therein de-
llneated being very general v
accepted by the majority Of
readers as fair types of the American
figures in either an odious or a ride
ulous aspect. To say nothing of those
portions of Martin Ohuzzlewit. the
scene of which is laid in the United
States, I may mention Richard Avcrnal
in Bulwer's my Novel, the Colonel
in Levers Gone of Them" Fullaloye
in Charles Reads Very Hard Cash. /"

audience as fair type not only of a
class, but of people. =, Yet Mr.: Buck

understood in its proper sense, i. e.,
the humorous or Ridiculous exaggera-
tion OF features or habits of the indi-
vldusl or species. Asa Trench.
ard on the Haymarket stage
is: simply vulgar cockney, with
habit Of speaking through his nose:
and it appears strangely inconsistent
that delicate minded; refined woman
like Mary Meredith should tolerate the
addresses of such man. When the
play in question was originally pro-
duced in New York, Jefferson of Rip
Van Wipkle fame was the Asa Trench
ard, and in his hands the character be.
came fair, unexaggerated type of the
native of New England, cool, clear
headed, brave, warm.hearted, but
ignorant of the conventionalities of So
ciety. Here it would have been cuvuire
to the mass of play-goers, their pre-
conceived Idea Of the character being
so totally different.

The Swiss Constitution,

On Sunday the Swiss vote on their
new Constitution, which is submitted
as substitute for that of 1848. The
present Constitution provides that on a
petition of $1,000 Swiss citizens a
change in the Constitution can be made,
and must be submitted to the vote of
the people, If such a provision exist
ed here $50, 600 names would be requir-
ed. A new constitution must have an
absolute majority of the popular vote
and also of the cantons. Among the
changes to be passed upon are the fol-
towing: Any Swiss may have a vote
in another canton after residence of
three months. Obstacles to the free
dom of marriage are also removed.
Bills for larger expenditures, 1000.
OOOfr. and upward, are to be submitted
to the people. If fifty thousand citi-
zens demand the abolition of law, the
question is to go to voters and the
cantons, and q majority of both will
repeal the law.
Absolute freedom in religious faith is
to be introduced, and no one can be
taxed to support State or Cantona]
Church. The Federal Government i;
to. take charge Of the Schools. Hence,
forth the Central Government is to as
sumo the entire control of millitar,
affairs, and to have charge of the reve
nues and expenses necessary. The Stat.
is to CONTROL the railways. A unifca
ton of the legal codes of the cantons j.
proposed. Capital punishment ani
imprisonment for debt are to be abol
ished, and the gaming-houses licensed
by the State are to be closed within
period of five years. On the whole
the changes are popular, liberal, ant
progressive. They have been the worl
of centuries, in which time Switzerland
has grown from the narrow limits o
absolutism to the broader equality of
