Answering InvitatIons.


One of the most reasonable rules of
etiquette is that which requires PROMPT
replies to invitations The reason why
an invitation to dine or to an opera.box
should be answered as soon as received
is so evident that it will not admit of
questioning; but many who are punctili-
Gus in these particulars are remiss in
sending promptly their acceptanees OF
regrets for parties and balls. Most Of
those who neglect this duty do so from
thonghtlessness or carelessness, bu
there are some who have the idea
that it increases their Importance tc
delay their reply, or that promptness
gives evidence Of eagerness to accept
or refuse. Others, again, are prevented
from paying that direct attention to
an invitation which politeness requires
by the. inconvenience Of sending spe-
cial messenger with their notes. When
any doubt exists in reference to the
ability of the person invited to be pres
ent at soiree or ball, an acceptance
should be sent at once; and if afterward
prevented from going short note of ex-
PLANTATION or regret should be despatched.
1t is well known that few words make
all the difference between a polite
and an impolite regret. Mrs. Cor
don regrets that she cannot accept
Mrs. Sydney's invitation for Tuesday
evening" is not only curt, but would be
considered by many positively rude.
The mistake arises, however, more fire.
quently from intentional rudeness
Mrs. Gordon regrets extremely that
she cannot accept Mrs. Sydneys kind
invitation for Tuesday evening"" is all
that is necessary. All answers to invi
tations given in the name of the lady
ard gentleman Of the house are generally
acknowledged to. both in the answer,
and. the envelope addressed to the lady
alone.

shake Of her head.
And he never will until you ask him
for it, returned the sister.

of course you never will. John is
too stupid to think Of such things, and
you can never pluck up courage to ask
for one, and it follows that you will never
get one.
This set Katie to thinking, and to
what purpose we shall see.
That evening her lover came to see
her. He was very proud and very
bappy. for the beautiful girl by his side
had been for several weeks pledged to
marry him as soon as the business could
be properly done, and John was grand
good fellow, notwithstanding his oblivi-
business to certain polite matters.

The many Americans IN these Islands cannot
fail to share IN the universal regret felt in the
United States at the death Of her great senator.
All parties and sections Of the country are united
in regarding this as a national loss. \ sense Of
national bereavement is felt throughout the IA
ton, not only by the c7lored race for whose
rights be struggled and suffered, but bv those who
opposed Lim most bitterly during his life. The
death Of 10 public man in American history has
received more universal mourning. The reason
Of this viii bear reflection.
Charles Sumner was gifted man, early famed
for scholarship eIoquence anu talent. HIS social
position brought him into intimate relations with
the wisest and best people at home aud abroad.
When be first yisiiei Washington, it Was remark
ed that the Marshal Of the United States Su-
preme Court drove up to his hotel and left for
him the cards Of the judges. This was due to
Judge Story, whose pupil Sumner bad been, and
whose place as Professor at the Harvard Law
School had been offered him when young man
OF scarcely i've and twenty years. Wherever be
went his letters introduced him to the most ex-
elusive and cultivated circles, for those who gave
them knew that he would more than justify all
that they could say in his favor.
But Charles Sumner did not gain his strong
hold on the confidence Of the people by reason OF
his culture, craftsmanship elOquence or mental
strength. Men enough who coald equal and sur
pass blm in these regards failed in securing such
confidence Perhaps he was better as critic
than safe as an originator Of wise public measures
He was often called arrogant aud Extensively
oniuiouated. An acquaintance once told rs that
It there vas peculiarly flyo7ite corn on the toe
Of i friend, Sumner was sure 10 come down on it,

did not care TO assume before others false air Of
humility which he did not feel. As to bis dis

Of his faithful defence Of the rights Of humanity
It would be well Tor all Of Us If. in matters

The main thing Is to be sure what the truth

The SituntIon In Frnnce.


The sixteenth Of March, when the Prince
Imperial attained has majority. was great
day at Chiselhurst, England, where the e1iled
Empress and her son reside. Six thousand sup
porters OF the Nnpoleonic dynasty assembled
there and the telegraphic report says that i was
a grand fete. at which Populations from every
part Of Franco were present, oil bearing rich
souvenirs as tokens Of their loyalty. At the
public reception. an address was read. TO which
the Prince responded He said that the pres
ence Of so large an assembly on the occasion
showed the alarm OF France for her future He
considered plebiseite as the only salvation OF
the country II the decision was against In
perialism he would accept it IL in favor OF a res
toralion Of the Empire. he was ready to accept
the responsibility Of the Government. His adj
dress was received with unbounded enthusiasm
The additional fact that Queen Victoria sent
her gifts. and that the lately-married Dake Of
Edinburgh and his bride visited the Empress aud
Prince-all possess political significance, and
mean Just this-that the day is not distant when
the Prince Imperial will be the Emperor Of
France under the title Of Napoleon ". We
look upon this as foregone conclusion, and
whenever the opportuue moment arrives,-wheth-
er preceded by plebiseite, or BY popular up
rising in his favor-the moment he touches
French soil. the army and people will all com
bne to support him. and MaeMahOn viii grace
fully retire. and in such way as to secure the
good will OF the imperial government which sue
ceeds HIM. The prince may not be possessed
of the ability Of his father but he will serve as
figure head to perPetuate famous dynasty, Of
which Frenehmen are proud, and which will
satisfy the people for ten years to come at least
