The Saturday Reoie,o has an ingen-
ious article on "Chivalry," of which the
following paragraph is the keynote:
"The truth is that chivalry, so far as it
is a virtue, is. the virtue of Glass;
That is to say, it is no real virtue at all.
1t may sometimes lead men to actions
which are in themselves morally right.
The soldier who does his ordinary duty
because il is his duty-the hero who
docs his extraordinary duty because
under his special circumstances, it is his
duty--are both acting according to the
rules of morality. But the chivalrous
man who does something for his honor
or for the love of his lady, is only acting
according to the standard of a particu-
lar class, to win the esteem of that par
ticular class. Beyond that class, we
can hardly believe chivalry existing.
A clown may be hero; but we cannot
fancy chivalry clown. So far as the
clown becomes chivalrous, so far he
ceases to be clown. We come round
again to the poini from which we start
ed; chivalry is something which does
not belong to men in general as moral
agents, but only to one class of meh-S
to the class who anciently served in bat
tie on horseback"

Monday last being call day, an av-
alanche of over three hundred bills was
poured upon the House. Very few of
these measures aim at necessary legis-
lation, most of them are intended to
serve nothing better than local inter-
ests, and many of them are designed to
take money out of the national Treas
ury without an equivalent. At time
when the income of the Treasury does
not equal its expenditure, the members
should put strong curb upon their
natural inclination to introduce bills OF
this character. But if they cdnnot the
committees to which they are referred
should take care to kill them.
