The Social South.

William P. Frye, member OF Congress from
Maine, has been down in Virginia; he had
intended to go farther, but the atmosphere of
social life was not invigorating. ''The
South" he says, and in this he is corroborated
by all who know it, ''is far behind in the COM
forts, not to say luxuries of life; the shftless-
ness of antebellum days remains, and there Is
a deep prejudice against Northerners." He
found Maine man who had lived twelve
years in Petersburg, by the side of native
Virginian in the same social sphere, so far as
pecuniary means and intelligence were con-
cerned, but without the slightest social recog-
milton on the part of the Petersburg man and
his family. A daughter of the Virginian by
mistake went into the house of the Yankee,
one day, and WIS compelled by her mother to
remove and wash her olothiug. All this
would be simply ridiculous were 1t not for the
fact that it prevents, and so long as such feel
ing continues will prevent, the restoration of
the South to a position in the country to
which it is otherwise entitled. The native
Southerners and the negroes cannot fill up
that section, cultivate it, make it prosperous,
in long time. Some few may make fortunes
out of cotton but as whole there can be no
genuine advancement, no republican commu-
mites, no general prosperity, until this absurd
notion of ignoring Northern neighbors is over
come This sentiment is more in the way of
the progress of the South than even her enor-
nous indebtedness Properly might be pur-
chased with view to that incumbrance, but
no man with any proper self-esteem will 60

Two RECEIPTS FOR GETTING INTO GOOD
SocIETY.-Mrs. L., of E--Park, was
always to be seen everywhere, no matter what
difficulty much mole exalted personages ex-
perienced in getting invitati ms. She was at
the marriage of Paul Esterhazy with Lady
Sarah Viliers,-the prince who dropped 940O
worth of diamonds from his jeweled attire
whenever he went to a ball,-and saw every
thing, though the crowd was so great that no.
body else could see anything but the person
before him. This, how ,ver, she contrived to
do by getting into the pulpit. To obtain an
invitation to Lady Londonderry's ball required
great tact. ''How do You do iti" asked
friend. Mrs. L--of E--Park, hesitated
considerably befor, answering the question,
but at last answered: "Well Pll tell you.
The morning of that ball sent her ladyshipa a
large van full of the most beautiful flowers and
she was SO delighted with them that she sent
me back most pressing invitation to come
and see how well my flowers looked at night.
My garden is my life" she added, "a nd l never
rob that for anybody but for twenty five
pounds spent in Covent Garden she found she
could be asked wherever she pleased. A still
cheaper method of receiving good company at
ones own table was adopted by certain scity
man, 'who requested the honor of the Duke
of Wellington's company to meet Marshal
Soult, and that of Marshal Soult to meet the
Duke of Wellington, although unaequainted
with either of them, for he knew that both
these illustrious warriors were so fond of
"fghting their battles o'er again. with one
another that they were sure to accept. And
then he invited people to meet Marshal Soult
and the Duke ofWellington.-From Recoliec-
tions of Society In France and England, by

NOW PARIS Is PAINTED.

&c. c.. F." writes to the Baltimore Amert.
can that it would astonish the American house
painters if they could witness the manner in
which painters of Paris climb over the fronts
of these six and scven-story houses, then from
roof to door still without the use of ladder,
scaftold or any other wooden contrlvance,
either for themselves or their paint pots.
One man without assistance Of any kind, can
paint the entire front Of one of these tall
houses in two or three days. Directly opposite
our quarters six story building fronting
about eighty feet, is undergoing complete rem
ovation, and the painting Of the entire walls
has been accomplished by two youths appa-
rently not over nineteen years years of age.
They arc each provided with rope about an
inch in diameter, extending from the appcX
of the roof to the pavement on which knots,
one foot apart, are made throughout its entire
length. BY means Of all apparatus with
straps, clamps and hooks, to which is append.
ed board on which they sit, and strrups
to rest the feet in, which are strapped to
their legs, they move up and down the rope
with great rapidity and apparent ease. They
move the clamps from knot to knot and with
out changing the position of the rope are ell.
abled to paint about six feet on either side of
them. Their smaller brushes are stuck in
little loops appended 20 the seat, and the
paint pot is suspended by smaller rope, on
which it is fastened by Il spring of some kind,
and it is raised or lowered with ease as they
may desireit. Long practice has given them
great agility, and they seem to move mp and
down and pirouette and cscillate on the front
with great deal more ease than if they were
on ladders. They use more brushes for most
of their painting, nearly double the size of
those used in America, and make rapid
progress with the work. House painting in
Paris is q very extensive business, as peri.
odical renovation Of the houses is rendered
imperative by law, no one being allowed
to disfigure a neighborhood by presenting
stained and dis6gured walls. The houses
being all built of soft cream-colored sand.
stone, many Of the finer structures instead Of
being painted, are redressed by the stone
cutter, and come out after undergoing the
process of scraping and scrubbing, as if
fresh from the quarry. In alluding to the
amount Of work these lads perform in day,
it should be understood that they commence
work at six o'clock in the morning, and stop
at seven o'clock in the evening, twelve hours

pressed their shares upon the market with

families, whose estates were lost, disappeared
from society, and the names of many noblemen

ORIGIN OF THE WORD HUMBUG.-The
word humbug, says DE Quincy, rests upon
very rich and comprehensive basis; it cannot
be rendered adequately either by German or
by Greek, the two richest of human languages.
Its origin, however, is wrapped in doubt, the
stories concerning it being vague and uncer-
tain. The following regard as the most
trustworthy: At one time there was war be-
tween Germany and Austria, and constantly
the widest and most incredible stories con-
cerning the victory or defeat of the German
arms would be spread entirely without truth.
They were all traced to Hamburg, so whenev-
er anything marvellous was announced men
would say, 20, that is Hamburg" and final
ly % humbug"
