Schiller left home, bearing the burden Of

How often have we seen such people.

round of parties and balls, and dropped
them in quiet Richmond or Hampstead

and break with the lounging habits OF

The Hotel or the Future.

In the hotel of The future, if we can not
change all our carpets at the "spring
cleaning" and change them back again
at the "fall cleaning;" if we can not
afford double suits of furniture for every
rOom--which may well be the case until
the la: ter part of the millennum-we
shall yet look to it that each room is fur
nishel with some light, agreeable, easily
movable and wholly resLful furniture,
which shall seem to be cool even when
the heavens are brass above our heads
andethe earth is dust beneath our feet.
In the hotel of the future, seach room
shall have one graceful, simple chair or
lounges which may be lightly lifted, and
which shall not be too fine to give rest
Tor tired feet without fear OF penetrat-
ing vandalism. Why should one dis
semble? That is what you go TO ho-
tel tor-to put your feet in u chair whe II
you become tired. Foreigners and our
own home-folk also are never weary of
caricaturing the American habit OF hold
ing the feet higher than the mead. 1t IS
very bad manners, but 1T is very good
physiology.
The highest medical authority declares
that a horizontal position OF tue body is
most conducive TO Il restoration Of dis
turbed equilibrium and to heaithfGl
circulation. But there are some enter
prising spirits among us who do not
need science to tell them what rests
them when they are tired, and, carrying
the principle of elt-preservationstoo fa ,
they have postured themselves too
recklessly, and thrust their uplifted feet
through all the laws OF delerence and
courtesy. Let them be Anathema. But

A Cure for Duelists.

There was French regiment in which
dueling was all the rage. The officers
were always fighting each other or get
ting up little affairs with the officers of
other regiments. AT last the War Office,
wearied out of patience, changed the
officer. A colonel was
sent down who would be sure TO stamp
out such nonsense A few days after
HIS arrival, two of the officers asked his
permission to go out ana fight. To the
of everybody he gave his
consent; the officers went forth to fight;
they slightly wounded each other, and
"honor was satisfied" as the phrase
goes upon these occasions. They
were no sooner recovered than they
received an order to wait upon the
Colonel. "You have to 20 out and fight
again Tomorrow" be said, aud as they
looked at him with Questioning astonish-
ment, be explained: "When officers
light in the regiment have the honor to
command, they XIII. Cop The officers
went out again, and this time made right
good holes in each other, which took SIX
months to heal. The story is very hor-
rlble. They were sent out again; at last
they killed each other, but henceforth
and forever in that regiment, and a good
many beside. that was an end OF duellng.
The fate oil the young meE who were
thus sacrificed TO bring about such re-
suit was sad, but they brought it on
themselves, inasmuch as being fully
aware thai the Colonel was sent to re-
press dueling, they chose almost on his
arrival to demand that he should stul-
tify himself, and permit them to have
their way. E.

A clever pebater.

Speaking Of the old-tIme political de-
bates, Of Virginia gentleinen, George
Cary Egglest0n relates in the November
Atlantic this racy anecdote:
A Story is told Of one of these social
political debaters-a story too we'll
vouched for among his friends to be
doubted-which Will serve perhaps to
show how unnecessary the presence OF
a1 antagonist was to the successful con-
duct OF a dispute. Itwas 'at dining
day." to speak in the native idiom, and
it SO happened that all the guests were
Wings, except Mr.. E., who was the
stanchest of Jefersonian Democrats.
The discussion began, of course, the
moment the ladies lett the table, and it
speedily waXed hot. Mr.. E., getting
the ear of the company in the outset,
laid on right and lett with his customary
vigor, raspiDg the Wings ON their sorest
points, arguing, asserting, denouncing,
em0nstrating-to his own entire satis-
iactloh-for perhaps half an hour; si-
lencing every attempt at interruption by
saying: !
"Now wait, please, till 1 get through;
FIN one against seven, and You must let
me make my points. Then YOU can re-
ply."l
he finished at last, leaving every Whig
nerve quiyering,evefy Whig face burning Z
with suppressed indignation, aud every
Wing breast full, almost to bursting, with
speech in reply. The strongest debater
of them all managed to begin first, but
just as he pronounced the opening
words, Mr.. E. interrupted him.
"Pardon me-" he said, II know all
your little arguments, sopll 60 and talk
with the ladies for half an hour, while
you run them over; when you get
through send Tor me, and Phi come and
sweep you clear tot the arena"
And with that the exasperating man
bowed himself out OF the dining-room.
