1t is well that there are one or two Cabinet
officers of whom we rarely hear except In con-
nection with some measure of reform. 1his
remark may be applied to Postmaster-General
Jewell. He is now on the track of the straw
bid contractors who have disgraced our postal
service in the South and West and built up
great incomes at the expense OF the Govern
ment. Mr.. JEWELS policy with view to the
reformation of abuses in this matter seems

spectacle that the manager announced
to the admiring audience that the noble

evening, when the performance was ae-
cordingly repeated. and was continued
for several successive nights, until one
evening, an indiscreet member OF the

that the masked wrestler was moi dis

the clowns attached to the circus. This

London cor. New York Sum-
suppose all my English friends will
feel outraged by it, but truth compels
me to say that, in some respects, the
English people are the greatest towards
In the world. Physical danger and suf.
fering they will encounter readily
enough, but ridicule and public disap-
probation have terror for them which
they dare not face. One of the most
charming Englishmen / ever met was
narrating to me only day or two ago
how a young American, common
friend of both of us, used to wear, when
he first came to London, aScotch cap in
the street, and how he was finally obliged
to tell him that unless he put on the or
thodox stovepipe hat he could not ac-
company him. 1t seems that etiquette
forbids a gentleman to appear in public
with any other head-gear than the stove
pipe aforesaid, and my English friend
dared not countenance a contravention
of the law. A gallant captain Of the
Queens body guard, TO whom l related
the matter, sustained his countryman,
and declared that he himself, although
of profession which requires courage
as its first essential, would not venture
to show himself in Bond street or the
park in q soft felt hat.
Pursuing my inquiries, / have found
that similar tyranny prevails in innu-
merable respects, Mr.. Gladstone is re.
ported to have said that Cabinet Min
lister might better commit any other
blunder rather than have his front door
opened by maid servant. Custom de-
mands that man shall be employed for
that duty, and whoever infringes the
custom becomes an outeast at once. So
too. carrying of parcels in the street by
gentlemen or ladies is forbidden, and /
have no doubt been set down as luna.

chases in my own hands. believe an
exception is made in the case of books,

Of caste, but everything else is a mark Of
infamy. To walk with the coat unbut-
toned in front is likewise improper, and

The Brussels correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette writes: "The cele-
brated house, Plantin-Moretus, at Ant
werp, has been finally purchased by the
town of Antwerp for 200, 900 francs, to
which the Government contributes 2OO,.
600 francs, to be maintained as a mus
cum. It contains inestimable treasures
and oprioSitieS-among them paintings
of the Dutch and Flemish schools, en-
cravings, manuscripts and books. II
will take years to classify the manu-
scripts, which are expected to be of great
historical value. To give a slight indi.
cation of the interest attaching to the
house and its contents it suffices to men
ton that the Plantins were printers to
Philip H., and Published for him the
famous polyglot Bible (for which, as
the Plantin Of that time states, he never
was paid by the Prince) that Rubens
was the painter Of the Plantin family,
and that Justus Lipsius worked in the
printing office as proof corrector. The
low purchase price of 1900, 900 francs is
explained by the desire of the present
wealthy proprietors Of the house to have
it maintained as monument and mus
cum"

AnIntereating IncIdent.

An interesting incident has just oc-
Cured at Bucharest, and has created
profound sensation in theatrical CIRCLES
in that place. In seems that the pro-
prietor Of the Suhr Circus, anxious to
provide amusement for the public, lately
published an announcement that chal-
lenge given by Jules Rigal, wrestler
attached to the circus, had been ac-
cepted by gentleman who, wishing to
preserve strict inoognito, would appear
before the public in q week. The anna
teur athlete who, it was stated, was o
person occupying high social position,
was rumored TO be no other than Prince
Stourdja, o Moldaviau noble who has
the reputation Of possessing hereulean
strength. On the evening when "the

A writer says Of the ladies darling"
The creature is delighted if he can per-
suade himself that be has reason 10
think that score or so OF girls are over
head and ears in love with him, and
there is ground for believing that he
would become exhilarated to the last de-
gree if he were informed that some fool
ish damsel had pined away and died of
q broken heart on his account. The
fact that so long as his vanity is minis
tered TO he is Indifferent as to what un-
happiness devolVes upon Others affords
q not altogether agreeable, but thor
oughly reliable index as to his character.
II he had any conscience deserving OF
mention he would not systematically
make loye-directly or indirectly-with
every girl with whom he is brought in
contact; but being, as he is, utterly
reckless OF the feeling Of his neighbors,
he does his best to enslave the fancy Of
nine-tenths of the attractive women
whom he meets under circumstances
favorable to Irritation. 1t would be in.
judicious to deny that he achieves sue
cess-it may be that it would be unwise
to declare that he does not obtain many
triumphs--for some girls are so silly aud
have such susceptible hearts that they
would become fascinated with q mop
stick, provided that it was skilfully set
up, dressed in male habilimeats and
called a man; and others, who are a
tride wiser than to be guilty of such
stupidity, are still foolish enough to be-
lieve nine-tenths of what every shallow
pated noodle tells them. e l
But though this is so, there is cause to
hope that the career Of the would-be
ladies' darling is not one OF uninterrupted
success, and that he is not the object Of
80 much admiration as he generally
imagines. Occasionally he receives q
prompt and decided check from ladies
who have no wish to be made fools of, or
to suffer in reputation, however slightly,
in order that he may be glorifed while
not few females play upto him before
his face and pour unmeasured contempt
upon him beind his back. Nor is it sur
prising that they should be so, for he
gives them every reason to think that he
is shallow and egotistical fool. His
conversation consists OF a series Of
dreary inanities, ridiculous compliments
which are as insinoere as they are in bad
taste, and melancholy Jokes which con-
sist for most part Of ill-natured speeches
at the expense of some unfortunate
victim or other. He seldom ASSUMES
that his lady friends have brains enough
to understand anything except the most
superficial matters, and when he does
venture to touch on the last new book,
new picture, new play, new parson, or
new sensation, he merely repeats the
cant jargon which is current in the set
in which he moves, and which frequently
condemns what is good and praises what
is bad. Besides, his manner is affected.
he wears on his face an everlasting grin,
and he is dressed up in such fashion
and has such sinking way about him
that he appears altogether as much I'M
like genuine man as he could we'll do.
For the rest, he lowers the moral tone Of
those with whom he associates, and
SCOTS at everything in which people Of
correct feeling take an interest,

Any one investing in these Bonds has the
satisfaction Of knowing that his bond is GER
tain to be paid OF maturity; and further that
he assists in building in the city of New York
permanent Temple Of Industry, which will
be an ornament and pride to every Ameri-
can.
Each Bondholder, until his bond is re-
deemed, is part owner Of twenty. two acres
Of land situated in the heart Of the city Of
New York, and estimated to be worth Two
Million -Four Hundred Thousand Dollars.
And the building which is estimated to cost
Seven Millions.
The excavations for the foundation was
commenced on the 10th Of May, 1875, and the
building will be ready to receive the goods
from the Centennial Exhibition at its close.
No investment for people Of small means
was ever offered equaling the Bonds Of the In
dustrial Exhibition Co. The bonds are se
cured by mortgage which makes the principal
safe, and eminently secure, and in addition TO
which each bondhelder participates four times
veal, IN the allotment Of premiums above
named.
The difference between these bonds and

lose his money or draw q prize, while tho
holder Of an Industrial Exhibition Bond can
not lose his investment. but must have re-
turned to him the principal and small rate
of interest added, and in addition has an op.
portunity to draw premium ranging from
$50 TO Sl0O,0

the mortgagage are among the most eminent
Of tho business men of New York. and Is Of
