Living las Fine Art" was the
subject OF lecture by Mr.. Candert at
he Cooper Institute, New York. re
Gently. i'll which he said the social lie,
20 his mind, was the most common;
in fact the most correct folk were
strongly addicted to it in the widest
forms, such as :. Your obedient ser
want" IL hope you are WE'LL" I'm
glad to see you," etc. The habit is so
strong that when after having ordered
a person to do something one will sign
himself as Your obedient servant"
Hopes are expressed every moment in
he day regarding the saiubritv of the
feelings Of folks in whom the expires
sers of such hopes have not the re-
uotest interest. "1'm glad to see
you," is used to persons whose pres
ence IS almost obnoxious. Historical
lies were so numerous that Mr.. Cou-
,lert had lost all faith in the stories
detailed by historians, with the single
exception of the cherry tree episode
N the boyhood of the patriot Wash
.ngton. The stronghold of faith was
not protected from demolition by re-
spec. for the historians yeracify, but
by patriotic instincts. As reasons for
this unusual cynicism Mr.. Coudert
quoted many instances of the COM
plete humiliation of what had for
years been considered fixed facts. 1t
had been said, and recently, that
William Tell was q Dane and tho
apple splitting business a myth, Dor
rowed from Scandinavian song. 1t
had been settled by the wise ones
that st. Patrick was Irish, French and
Scotch. 1t had TRANSFERRED that Joan
Of Arc, instead OF being burned, had
been married. A great amount of
doubt existed as TO whether Shske-
>peare was Bacon or Bacon was |
Shakespeare. Concord and Licking |
ION had become a little naked and the |
Declaration of Inde pendence was IN

Quent address, took occasion to correct Ia
IRRIGATION which had passed into history, at
tributing to General Taylor, the hero OF Bue-
ma VISTA the slang admonition, "A little more
grape, Captain Bragg" Such language was
unworthy of the man and the historic mo-
ment, when the result of the most desperate
and memorable battle of the war was waver'
ing in the balance, and nothing, said MIR,
Miner, would have been more foreign to the
character of General Taylor in his manner in
trying emergencies than such an eXclama-
ton. "IIoldng the position of an interpre-

speaker, II was seated on my horse immed,
