American History.

To tie general reader, American
history is not interesting. 1t lacks
picturesqueness. With the exception Of
a few striking episodes, it affords scarcely
anything of what is called the romance
of history, 1t contains no material for
the historical novel, needing only the
touch Of creative imagination i'll the
grouping and arranging; and that which
attracts the general reader in history
is essentially the same that fascinates
him in fiction The baroness of our
annals in incident and character that
have the attraction of romance is due
to many circumstances, but chiefly to the
fact from the first we have had, in form
and substance, free government. The
history of England has lost much Of
its attractiveness since her constitutional
government has become fully estab-
lished. People take deep interest in
the fortunes of persons rather than
States, and sympathize with the expert
ence of heroes, not administrations.
When countries are ruled by individuals
the rulers become exalted into species
Of demigod, and are the objects of devo-
ton. They are the State, and their for
tunes awaken sympathies as deep and
intense as the deeds and sufferings of the
lofty beings of myth and romance.
Their will and their personality operate
in public affairs, and give to the events
of history vividness and vitality that
appeal to the sentiments and feelings.
Their rise or fall is momentous, their
triumph or humiliation of absorbing i'm
portance; their followers do deeds of
daring and suffer the pangs of martyr
dom in their service or in their cause,
and the vicissitudes of a nations life are
filed with thrilling incidents of personal
endurance, like those which the imagina-
ton delights to picture, But we have
had no despots, no benefcent fathers Of
the people, no princes or pretenders,
and our history is devoid of the stirring
deeds and touching sacrifices of those
who depend on princes favor, or are de-
voted to the knightly service of royal
masters. rs.--North American Review.

that they have no news. They concede the
election of the State ticket TO the Republic
ans by handsome majority and allow
working majority in the House OF Represer-
ta.ives; but still claim to have one or two
majority in the Senate. The committee es-
innate Fosters majority at 10000, with
chances that full returns will rather increase
than diminish these figures. They claim 20

sentatives, which is ~ more than is neces-

Among tie more or less imaginative
.'pci sonal "reminiscences Of our distia-

Iu,t now, the following actual occur
renee may he Of interest, as showing the
always striking absence of scliimpor-
tancc, or "fulls,' distinguishing Grant
in all relations OF life:
The writer of this iivnl within a
stones throw OF the White House AT
Washington during both the Generals
terms, aud drove what was Justly con.
sidered as the second or third fastest
horse in the District-which was saying
a GOOD deal then. The fashionable drive
was what was known as the Soldiers
Home road, and it was the custom when
the President was out behind his noted
trotter Butcher Boy, for the "hyers"
along the road to pull out and give the
General a brush, the other carriages
drawing up on either side to see the fun.
One afternoon we met the General jog
sing along the road home, and in a mo
ment both the Presidents big geldmg
and our sorrel mare were whirlinS their
single-seat Brewsters along like an
equine avalanche. 1t was II warm
October afternoon, and the foam
specks from the wide-stretched mouths
Of the well settled nags came
drifting back over the dashboard. 1t
was a close match, and with hats .jammed
on hard, and each driver eagerly watch
ing for a good place for a squirt, the
horses swung into the Fourteenth
street stretch neck and neck, AS we
struck the wood pavement marking the
city limits we saw ahead a couple
of mounted policemen, evidently lying
in wait for US. 1t was anything to
beat Grant" just then, however, and if
there had been the whole NJ P, force in
FROM we would have had it out Just the
same. But the shouts of the galloping
policemen furried our high-strung mare,
and in a second or two she broke like
the Johnnies at Mission Ridge, while
the Butcher Boy rushed to the lead like
the shot out OF a gun.
Now, there was nothing remarkable
about all that Grant always does beat,
somehow-but here comes in the point
Of the story, After he had gotten
little distance ahead the President looked
back and saw us escorted by an officer on
each side, arrested for fast driving He
at once wheeled his horse, and, trotting
slowly back, said; y,

touching his cap.
"Then there ara two of us, and, TAX

the policeman his card, with "Here, send
up for the fine in themorning." He lifted
his hat and drove of.

Wedding Costumes in Brittany


The wedding was preceded 6y a requi-
EN-, sung for the repose of the groom's
father and mother, he being an orphan.
A most mournful and lugubrious intro
duction to a wedding it seemed. The
groom, who is very rich, hear, was a
sight to behold. His sleeved waistcoat
was of no common cloth, but Of rich
blue velvet, curiously embroidered, his
sash of blue silk and his hat bound with
q broad silver ribbon. The unity of his
costume was somewhat marred by black
cloth trousers and pair Of kid boots Of
Partisan make. But, if the groom was
splendid sight, what shall l say Of the
bridel Her dress was gorgeous. She
literally blazed with gold and silver
laces and ribbons, spangles of all Colors
and silk embroidery. Her apron was a
plum-colored silk, brocaded with great
flowers of green and yellow. Nor was
she alone in her magnifcence; man y o
the guests were as brilliant as she. Two
young ladies from Chateaulin, neigh
boring town, wore silver-gray brocads
aprons, black dresses trimmed with
black velvet, the open bodice filed In
front with pink silk, covered in the one
case with roses, in the other with little
ostrich feathers Correspondent Phila-
