elevation Of spirit that human nature is
capable of To this l would have joined
a clear understanding, reason free from
prejudice, steady judgment. and an ex-
tensive knowledge. When / think of the
heart of gentleman, imagine it firm
and intrepid, void of all inordinate pas
sions. and full Of tenderness, compassion,
and benevolence. When view the fine
gentleman with regard to his manner, me-
thinks see him modest without bashfdl-
ness, frank and affable without imperti.
nence, obliging aud complaisant without
seryility, cheerful and in good.humor with.
ont noise. These amiable qualities are not
easily obtained; neither arc there many
men that have genius to excel this way,
A finished gentleman is perhaps the most
uncommon Of all the great characters in
lite. Besides the natural cndowments
with which this distinguished man is to
be born, he must run through long sc.
ries of education. Before he makes his
appearance and shines in the world, he
must he principled in religion, instructed
in all the moral virtues, and led through
the whole course Of the polite arts and
sciences, He should be no stranger TO
courts and 70 camps; he must travel TO
open his mind, to enlarge his views, to
learn the policies aud interests of foreign
states, as well rs TO fashion and polish
himself, and to get clear of national pre-
judices, of which every country has its
share. To all these more essential i'm.
provements he must not forget to add the
fashionable ornaments of life, such as are
the languages and the bodily exercises
most in vogue; neither would have him
think even dress itself beneath his notice.
1t is no very uncommon thing in the
world to meet men Of probity there are
likewise a great many men of honor to be
found. Men of courage, men of sense and
men of letters are frequent; but the true
fine gentleman is what one seldom sees.
He is properly compound of the various
good qualities that embellish mankind
AS the great poet animates all the differ
ent parts of learning by the force of his
genius, and irradiates all the compass of
his knowledge by the luster and bright
ness of his Imagination, 50 all the great
and solid projections of life appear in the
finished gentleman with a beautiful gloss
and varnish everything he says or does
is accompanied with a manner, or rather
a charm, that draws the admiration and |
goodwill of every beholder.

Depth Of che Atlantic ocean.

The main theatre Of sounding operat'
ions has been the Atlantic Ocean, which
from its relation to the leading CONNER
cial nations, and for intercontinental tel
egraphio purposes, has been more care
fully surveyed than any other great body
of water. Open from pole to pole, partic'
ipating in all conditions OF climate, com.
municating freely with other seas, and
covering $4,000, 900 square miles, it is be.
lieved to represent general oceanic oondi.
tons, and to contain depths nearly, II not
quite, as great as the other ocean basins
of the world, although but little is known
II is true in this respect of the Indian, Ant.
arctic and Pacific seas. The general no.
suit of its soundings would indicate that
the average depth of the Atlantic bed is
not much more than 1900 feet, and there
seems to be few depressions deeper than
$4,000 or 10000 feet, little more than
the height of Mount Blanc, Dr. Thomp-
son sums up the general results of the At
lantio soundings as follows: "In the Arc
Tic Sea there is deep water reaching 1000
feet to the west and southwest of Spitz-
bergen. Extending from the coast of Nc
way, and including Iceland, the Farce
Islands, Shetland and Orkney, Great
Britain and Ireland, and the bed of the
North Sea to the coast of France, there is
wide plateau, on which the depth rarely
reaches 5000 feet, but to the west of Ice.
land, and communicating doubtless with
the deep water in the Spitzbergen Sea, a
trough 500 miles wide, and in some places
nearly 10000 feet deep, curves along the
east coast of Greenland. This is the path
of one of the great Arctic return-currents.
After sloping gradually to depth of
5000 feet to the westward of the coast of
Ireland in latitude So deg, the bottom
suddenly dips to 10000 feet at the rate of
about s to 10 feet in the 100; and from
this point to within about 200 miles of the
coast of New Foundland, when it begins
to shoal again, there is vast undulating
submarine plain, averaging about 10000
feet in depth below the surface-the ''tel-
egraph plateau"
a valley about 500 miles wide, and
with mean depth of Is, 900 feet, stretches
from off the southwest coast of Ireland,
along the coast of Europe, dipping into
the Bay of Biscay, past the Strait Of Glib
raltar, and along the west coast of Africa.
Opposite the Cape de Verde Islands, it
seems to merge into slightly deeper
trough, which occupies the axis of the
South Atlantic, and passes into the Ant
arctic Sea. A nearly similar valley curves
around the coast of North America, about
$4,000 feet in depth, off New Foundland
and Labrador, and, becoming considera-
bly, deeper to the southwark, where it fol-
lows the outline of the coast of the States
and the Bahamas and Windward Islands,
and finally joins the central trough of the
South Atlantic off the coast of Brazil,
with a depth of $4,000 feet.-Popular

Then the door closed, and Nellie went
up stairs.
The doctor was surprised, but not toe
much so to think of a plan that would be
likely to cure the unfortunate habit into
which his daughter had fallen. The plan
was discussed with the young lady's moth
er, and adopted. The time for tea had
arrived, and when all were fairly seated

Then, suddenly taking out his hand,

blow. "There," said he, shows that for

replied his wife. This capped the climax.
The knowledge that her father must have
heard the afternoon conversation was too
much for Nellie. She burst into tears
and left the room. The sage doctor nod.

out of hearing, exclaimed, "There, wife, l
guess we shall hear no more slang phrases
from her"
The doctor was right, for Nellie was

Then sound of running feet, and very

Then door opened and shut, and in q

"What do you think, as l was just

The good doctor scratched his head.
Could that be his Nellie, whom he thought

a little crack, thinking, no doubt, that he

Murder.

Now that Irving has arrived in
New York, we shall sec if the Nathan
murder is to be uuravelled. The
reluctance of the police to pay any
attention to this mans statements
has increased the suspicion that there
is no very strong desire at headquar-
ters to attract renewed attention to
the murder. When Irving first
made his confession, confirmed
AS il wac, to some extent, by His
statements concerning the missing
memorandum. book Of MIR. Nathan,
the police insisted that his assertions
deserved no attention. The morning
press for sOinc mysterious reason,
echoed Mr.. Matseli's professional
opinion: aud, had it not been tor ii Q
persistent effort Of the Daily Graph
ic, Irving would never have been
brought to that city. Now Mr.. Mat
sell is inclined to think that Irving
knows something about the murder,
but he Insists that he derived his
knowledge from the police, thus csti-
mating that the police have long since
been in possession of facts in regard
to the murder which they have care
fully conccalcd. The public Is
anxious to have an cid put to tn
mystery in which the great crime hss
been involved. The manifest reluci-
ancc Of the police to take any STEPS
in that direction, and the rumOr that
the original papers in the case have
disappeared, increase the general
conviction that, unless means outside
of those furnished by Mr.. Matsell are
employed, the truth as to the murder
win never be elected. There is also
a strong desire to know by what in
fuence the matter has been hereto
fore SO successfully hushed up, and
III whose Interest the efforts OF the
police to prevent a renewal OF the
Investigation have been made.

Among Tho good things which we

late financial panic, tho first in m
portancc TO the West will doubtless
he an amendment to the banking law,
and reformation OF the whole finat',
cial system Of the country. Under
the existing law tho distribution OF
currency has been unequal, aud great
injustice has been done the commerce
OF the West by reason of 1t. A free
banking law Is urgently called for BY
the business men Of the country, and
II IL reported that President Grant
favors it, and has already signthed
his intention of recommending such a
law In his annual message to the next
congress. In view of glaring defects
in the banking system, which
the panic has disclosed, We believe
the pressure for reformation that
will be brought to bear upon the next
congress will DO too strong to be re-
mated.
