DAY Of the tournament the houses in
which they lodged were decorated
with them, while in some castle, clois-
ter, or monastry Of the vicinity their
coats of arms were hung, and the
knights, thetladies, and the visitors
gathered to inspect them. If among
them any lady recognized the banner
Of a night against whomsshe had any
cause for complaint, she called the at

investigation, he was found unworthy,

the tournament. ~
Before the opening Of the serious
business for which the gathering had
come together, the esquires practiced
in the lists, and the ladies gathered
to witness their feats. Frequently in
these trials an esquire who distin-
guished himself was knighted on the
spot, and allowed e celebrate the
occasion by taking part in the ensu.

Upon the stands built for the spec
tators were gathered the beauty and
fashion Of the time. Kings, queens,
princes, and the highest nobility of
the land gathered to witness the spec
tacle, and by their presence inspirit
the contestants to display their Prov

stands were erected for the camp mar
shals and the seconds Of the knights.

were the kings-atrarms and; the her

EASY MANNERS.

Recent events have called public
attention to the intimate relation of
morals and manners. It may be
said that there is no greater peril in
morality than much that is called
merely free and easy manners.
Young men, and even young women,
permit themselves freedom and H.
cense Of manner which, having all
the aspect of improperly, may very
readily acquire its substance. Ed.
ward addresses Emily with loud
and jesting intimacy Of tone and con-
duct, which might be expected in the
sailor saloons of Water street or
Wrapping, but which is repulsive
and odius in the drawing-room or
among refined and gentle persons.
Edward and Emily would be amazed
to be told that they have not the man.
ners Of a gentleman or Of a lady, and
have the air ofthe Demimo,de. They
think that they are especially con,me
u taut, and that above all others they
know what is the rule Of high society:
But they are merely vulgar, and have
the manners of those who are worse
than merely vulgar. Coarseness can
not be glded into refinement. The
young woman who habitually calls
her young friends of the other sex by
their Christian names, or who suffers
anything that can be called familiar
ity, although it fall short Of actual
indecorum, should reflect carefully
"siir," said lady to a policeman who
took her. elbow to pass her over the
street, "ifI wish you to touch me I
will ask yon," No woman of a high
sense of personal dignity wishes any
man to lay his hand upon her.
thoughtlessly or unnecessarily. Nor
will such a woman permit any kind

!, The tournament in its inception
was more. a gathering for the
practice of athletic games, than any;
thing else. In time, however, it be-
came the occasion for the. display Of
all the pomp and circumstance Of the
time, and was made the chief attrac-
ton at such. popular festivities, as a
royal marriage, the entrance of a
sovereign into a town, or, any other
occasion Of public rejoicing. There
is a tradition that the tournament,
properly 50 called, was first instituted
in the tenth century in Brittany by
Geofrey, the lord of Preuilli. II II /

THE CENTENNIAL.

The second letter of Hon. John
Jay to the New York Tribune on the
Centennial Exhibition contains three
good suggestions. . The first is the
proposal to divide a portion Of the
gronndsinto national plots, one to each
nation that will accept it, to be fitted
up to represent, son-a small scale, the
more prominent national characters
tics Of the country to which it is as
signed. Thus Brazilian plot would
represent the coffee fields and the for
ests Of that land; Swiss plot would
contain in miniature the mountains
and precipices of Switzerland a Hol-
land plot might display the canals
and other peculiarities to be found in
the bounds of that land, and so on
through the catalogue of nations.-
This peculiar arrangement need not
necessarily interfere with the exhibi-
ton of farm and dairy products,
which could be made in the same
plots Of ground, and it would afford
to the rural population of our land an
opportunity to- see the variety. Of
methods and the number of ways Of
doing the same thing. .,.:
= i. The next suggestion made is for a
series Of international congresses to
be held during the time Of the
exhibition, for the discussion of
any and all subjects. of international
interest. Among those proposed for
idiscussion;l Mr.. Jay mentions ~educa-
ton, International patent rights and
copy rights, agriculture, horticulture
foresty, wines, pisciculture, medicine.
music,i engraving, architecture, min
ing hgatelegraphy, photography in its ap-
plication to astronomy, art museums
and exchanges ;s~ archaeology, meteor
ology international law and its re-
forms, sanitary and municipal reform,
education Of the blind; deaf and dumb
and number Of others, the free and
full discussion sof which would, no
doubt, be the starting point of many
a step toward reform. Even if mo
immediate practical result were at
tanned BY these deliberations, the
mutual attrition of great minds would
elicit many a spark, that might Kin
dle g 2 national fire.. -: ..c
The third hint is that Of "a mode
to evade the difficulty caused by. our
tariff law. It has been suggested that
many foreign exhibitors will not care
to undertake the trouble nor to bear
the expense Of exhibiting their goods
in this country, since the market vir-
tuaflysclosed to them on account of
our high tariff: The proposition lis
made to,exempt from tariff duty the
goods of greatest excellence in; each
department, limiting the exemption
to given SUM say from $500 t. ST.
0oo. ssThis, it is Thought, while it
will operate adyantegeously in induc-
ing foreign manafaeturers,to display
their wares, will alse:: mot materially
reduce the government revenue. 1t
will a5 least be an incentive to sexhi-
bition which the United States Gov
eminent can very eal s ford 10 offer.
fWhile It may BE-, Ksed these aug-
| 'gestions are origins with Nj. Jay,
they y4al IRE worthy Of bic attention.
Tive are to have AZ Exhibition at
