AMERICAN MANNERS.

In the newspaper entitled the New York
Independent, is letter written from Long
Branch, descriptive of President Grant, good
enough in its way and quite readable, by
Joaquin Miller, poet. His reference to the
average Englishman's respect for the Queen,
is made in order to contrast the manners Of
Americans with those Of Europeans.
His reasoning is in substance that the
British treat the head Of their government
with great respect, while Americans treat the
head Of theirs with comparatively little, and
therefore the British are q bet.er-mannered
people than we are.
Englishmen respect their sovereign be-
cause she is the representative Of supreme
authority, because she is at the head OF an
aristocracy which blends with the govern
mental and social system Of the realm, be-
cause she is the descendant of race of kings,
because she is woman challenging their
gallantry as men, because she is pure, pious,
noble and most exemplary lady, and because
she is in all respects worthy to be initiated by
all the wives and mothers throughout the
British Empire.
They did not so respect her uncle when
King, nor will there be the same heartiness
of courtesy extended to her son when her
demise shall call him to fill her great Office.
Republican as Great Britain essentially is,
still her institutions are based on and sup
ported by spirit of personal loyalty, q
spirit which our more Democratic and better
system of government neither requires mol
fosters.
Americans have limited and abstract re-
spect for the offices themselves, but no feel.
ing Of personal devotion to the incumbents
