Portugal and the Portuguese

The people have an Eastern relish for
sweets, and excellent preserves are
common when everything else, perhaps,
is barely eatable. The coffee is gener-
ally good ; the tea, of which the Portu-
gese are very fond, is always good. The
clapping of hands in lieu of the ringing
of bell is quite Oriental. 1t is by no
means uncommon to meet men of re-
markable personal beauty who are of
unquestionable Morisco descent. The
politeness of the Portuguese seems also
borrowed in part from the Oriental, al
though it so often springs apparently
from kindness of nature that I am in
clined to consider it an original trait of
the Portuguese character. No people l
have met have struck me as so unaffect-
eddy polite, so unselfshly courteous in the
ordinary dealings of life, SO gracious
and hospitable as the Portuguese. This
politeness extends from the lowest to
the highest, and pervades the whole
nation. AS regards other social traits,
it may be said that the Portuguese lose
nothing in comparison with other Latin
races ON the score of modesty and
morals. There are certain Saxon
notions of propriety which do not enter
into Latin minds, and therefore should
not be expected of them. The Portu-
guese are warm-hearted. and there seems
to be considerable domestic unity and
affection among them. Marriage is
rather more the result of love than the
mere matter of business or convenience
too common in France and Italy. 1t is
noteworthy fact that the Portuguese
women are inferior to the men in phys
ical beauty. The difference is more
marked in the upper than the lower
classes /; perhaps the type, dark and
semi Oriental, requires the picturesque
dress of the peasantry to do it the
Justice which it certainly does not re-
ceive from the fashions of Paris. The
masculine sex of the little kingdom dis
plays truly feminine weakness for
dress. To cut figure on the praca Of
an evening in pantaloons that set off the
wearer to the best advantage, and tc
move and pose the person with studied
effect, are apparently the chief end Of
being to the young coxcombs of Lisbon
and Oporto. The gold.lace sported by
every one who can possibly find an ex
cuse to put on uniform would almost
pay the national revenue. However,
this little foible is set off by the skill
shown in managing the superb steeds
which often grace their esplande. The
Portuguese also make good sailors-tht
best of all the Latin races, as the write,
can testify from personal observation. -

Words of Wisdom.

Outward manifestations of what we
term feeling, like most of the good
things of life, base their value upon
rarity.
Sit in your place, and none can make
you rise.
Men speak of the fair as things went
with them there.
We should give as we would receive,
cheerfully, quickly and without hesita-
ton; for there is no grace in benefit
that sticks to the fingers.
1t is the vice of the unlearned to
suppose that the knowledge of books is
of no account, and the vice ofssscholars to
think there is no other knowledge worth
having.
When the idea of pleasure strikes your
imagination, make just computation
between the duration of the pleasure
and that of the repentance that is likely
to follow.
Affection, like spring flowers, breaks
through the most frozen ground at last;
and the heart which seeks but for an
other heart to make it happy will never
seek in vain.
The poor are only those who feel poor,
and poverty consists in feeling poor.
The rich, as we reckon them. and among
them the very rich, in a true search
would be found very INDECENT and
ragged.
The noblest part of friend is an
honest boldness in the notifying OF
errors. He that tells me of my fault,
aiming at my good, must think him
wise and faithful-wise in spying that
which see not, faithful in plain admon.
ishment not tainted with hattery.

Anne ROleyn.

Henry VIII. was married to Anne
Boleyn on the 25th of January, 1888, in
a garnet at the western end of the palace
ut Whitehall. She is described as fair
young creature, so exquisitely moulded
in form and feature that she enslaved the
eyes and understanding of all she en-
countered and, such is the interest
with which her memory is still invested,
that numbers daily visit her chamber at
Hever Castle, near Edinbridge, in Kent,
and eagerly listen to the romantic tradi-
tions which point out the hill where
Henry used to sound his bugle when he
came to visit her, in their days of court
ship, from his palace at Eltnom, and the
exact spot in the garden where, at the
turn of walk, she came upon the king,
who was so struck with her wondrous
beauty, that from that moment he was
inspired with the fatal passion which
raised its unfortunate object to. the
throne but to transfer her to the block.
The TX with which the little neck OF the
cruelly-sacrificed queen was severed is

The Presidency.
HAYES Observation-Disclosures roPPLED.
Republicans Radiant-Demo-
Gratis Despondent.

The Joint High Commission, after
fully celebrating upon all the ques-
tions Involved in the contest over
Florida, has decided il favor OF
giving the four votes Of that State
to Hayes and Wheeler. The Com
mission submitted their report to
the joint session Of Congress on
Saturday. The Democratic House,
of course, objected to concurrence.
Thereupon the two Houses separated
for q discussion of the case, as
provided for in the bill creating
the Board of Arbitration. The de-
cision was promptly concurred in by
the Senate, which makes it final,
notwithstanding the objection of the
House, which body, by discreditable
fillibustering and remarkably par
tizan ruling on point Of order,
took ecess until Monday morning,
aud thus delayed the formal counting
OF the vote, which is lost to them as
surely as the vote of Iowa.
The decision on Florida reaches
beyond that particular case, in the
first principle laid down, as follows /:
l. That The Commission cannot entertain
evidence outside of Tie eel litica,e OF the Gov
ernor Ms founded upon The determination Of
the state Board Of Cnnvassers
This point, it is generally conced-
ed, covers tho case of Louisiana, in
its main features at least, and leaves
but little room to doubt that the
decision thereon will also be favora-
BILE to Hayes. Democrats are nat
urally very much discouraged, but
display u determination to die game,
by making a strong fight for the
Cronin vote from Oregon, and in
dustriously forming pretexts for
cbjecting to individual electors from
other Republican States, on the
ground OF ineligibiity, etc. Repub-
Leans are more confident Of final
success than at any time since cleo
ton. "There's victory in the air"

The Dakota Surveyorship Again.

The unHnimity of the Republicans
OF the 3D. Congressional District in
favor OF Col. john q. Clark's APP
pointmept as Surveyor General OF
Dakota, would perhaps never have
been realized bat for the fight made
upon him 10y the Dewey faction.
Every Republican paper that has
given the matter notice, is favorable
to Clark, and, we are told AL the Re
publican members OF tho Legislature
from the Sd District petitioned in
his behalf. If such secoudiug OF
the earnest efforts of our efficient
representative in the Lower House
OF Congress fails to convince our
Senators OF the propriety of the
Colonel's appointment, no hope OF
overcoming the ring influence by
appeals or protests from the people
need hereafter bo entertained. ON
faith, however, in the wisdom aud
character of our Senators, is toe
strong TO allow us to believe that
they viii ignore the evident wish of
the party in the Sd District, 10y
failing to throw their influence fol
