iUTOG RAPHONANIA.

One Of George Eliot's friends has recently
taken pains to procure currency for the state
mcnt that she never replies, on principle to
an appliraion for her autograph. The explana-
ton probably is that she makes the deep and
necessary distinction between a manuscript
written from the impulse which seeks express
sion, and one mechanically written Oh demand.
The former carries with it, in some mysterious
way, senSc-Or the shadow of sensc-of
the writer's personality; the latter il a cold,
hard specimen of chirography, sometimes ex-
prcSsiyc of annoyance but never of much else.
One is the genuine, the other the counterfeit
coin.
So long as the collecting of autographs was
limited to persons Of taste and intelligence,
who knew why they desired such souvenirs of
distinguished men and women, and valued
them accordingly, q compliment was implied
in the request, and the favor, if not too often
repeated, was granted with some readiness.
But now that it has sunk to the level of IN
indiscriminate habit, cultivated by children IA
soon as they have filled their postage-sta
albums, the policy which George Eliot has
adopted will be forced upon every individual
who may become renowned, or even notorious.
Opening one of the Oblong volumes kept on
hand in hotels, we perceive how tasteless and
indiscriminate the mania has become. There.
side by side, are u. s. Grant and the last
negro minstrel; Bishop Simpson and Lydia
Thompson; G.. f. Train. Henry C. Carey, p.
Il. Barnum. and John &. Whittier Blondin of

TIE JNFL1TTON HERESY.


Even i'm the worst cause, untlinchinG courage

their beliefs. But they are so thoroughly in
earnest. they have so fully the courage Of their
opinions they are so persistent, rcsolute, and
ready to face all possible consequences, par
tisan or personal, in fighting for their notions,
that it would be a great mistake to dcspise
them. Men of that stamp always make them
yclycs felt. Even when insignificant i'll mum

by sheer force of determined purpose, as u
tallow candle may be fired through an oak
blank. But the sOft-mOney luHatics are not
insignificant in numbers. OF men who thor
oughly believe III the soft-Inoney heresy, avow
that belief on all occasions without hesitation,
and in any sharp contest on that issue are i'm
pelled by that belief, there are many hundred
thousand. OF those who arc in dead earnest
about it, and ready to fight for it at
every hazard, there are many thousand
They band together as naturally as the
devotees of Slavery did in years before the
war. The same intense feeling Of selfish in
tcrest moves multtudes whose vagaries Of
opinion, however sincere, would otherwise be
not p0sitive enou h to work mischief. This
heresy, too, like the belief in Slavery, appeals
naturally to the most powerful prejudices and
passions OF ignorant or ill-informed men.
Especially in times Of industrial disorder and
commercial disaster. that appeal becomes dan
gerously effective. IL sways multiudes who,

In our very full reports of the proceedings
of the Presbyterian General Assembly it will
be seen that wide range of subjects engaged
the attention of the meeting yesterday. Rcso-
lutons were passed warmly approving the de-
csion of the Centennial authorizes by Which
the Exhibition buildings are closed on Sun
days. The approval is based on religious and
legal grounds, and bears no reference to the
practical considerations which have been urged
by the advocates of Sunday opening.

SATURDAY. JUNE 3


The ATTENFT to pass a resolution Of eensure
on the Ministry, which has occupied the
attention of the Assembly during four days,
was, from the outset, plainly a hopeless task
With a full list of Mobiles, and more than half
the Representatives committed in their support,
the Ministers can afford TO laugh,-as they have
" most c~onsumedly' during the debate,-at all
such efgr,s Of our Hawaiian Sisyphus.

Dust mounts in clouds. and sweat deseends in dews.H
There are, however, a plenty of other grounds
for a vote of want Of confidence than the one
chosen. A month has elapsed since the
Assembly met, and the policy of the government,
as it may be gathered from the Budget-the
only tangible utterance that has come from the
Ministry-may be summed up in these words
90 More Chinese - O Increased Expenditure and
Increased Debt So far, not a single measure,
looking to repOpulation, the utilizing Of waste
lands, the preservation of forests, or any other
measure for the progress and improvement of
the country, has emanated from them and it
may well be asked, what degree Of confidence
can the Assembly or the country repose in the
ability of such a Ministry. With the boon of
a Treaty of Reciprocity, they may manage to
pull through; what would they have done
without it A?
We remarked last week that the obstinacy of
the Ministry in Withholding the Treaty from the
Assembly was a proof of their lack of judgment.
Admitting that they have the law of 1874 and
the opinion of the judges of the Supreme Court
on their side,-how much more graceful and
conciliatOry it would have been, when they
found that there was a feeling in the Assembly
that the Treaty ought to be submitted, to have
said Gentlemen, we hold that you have no
legal right to pass upon this Treaty that it is
beyond your power to do so nevertheless, here
is the dOcument-talk about it to your hearts
content-but you cannot alter it," Such an
exhibition OF tact. though it might in the opinion
of the Minister of Foreign Relations be a s'stulti-
tying of himself, would yet prove highly
satisfactory to the native members OF the
Assembly and their constituents. But to pro-
claim the Treaty without putting it before the
Assembly, will be to fasten the conviction
erroneous though it is-on the native mind that
there is something about it advantageous to
native interests. The Ministers have thrown
away an opportunity to gain popularity among
the Hawaiians which may never occur again ;
but that is something which they probably do
not care for.
