ENect OF Travel on AmerIeans.


DR.. Holland writes as follows on
this topic in Scribner for September !:
However grand in its natural feat
ures America may be, and however
vast in its material resources, these
peculiarities are hardly subjects of
legitimate pride, and in the presence
Of what man has done in Europe, the
American grows ashamed of his van
ity of what God has done for him, and
acquires a more modest estimate of
himself and of his grade and style of
civilization. The great cathedrals,
the wonderful cities, the collections
Of art, the great highways, even the
ruins OF the ancient buildings, minis
ter to his humiliation by showing him
how far other nations, new and old,
surpass his possibilities of achieve
ment. When a man is thoroughly
humble in the presence of his superb
ors, or in the presence of work that
overmatches his power and skill, he
naturally becomes not only teachable,
but an active and interested listener.
Europe to-day is a great inspirer to
America and a great teacher. 1t is
true that she gets but little OF her
political inspiration from Europe, but
her instruction and inspiration in art
are almost entirely European. In
architecture, painting, sculpture, and
even in literature, European ideas are
dominant.
So this great tide of life that goes
out from US every year does not return
without that which abundantly repays
all its expenditure of time and money.
For in all this impression of Euro
pean superiority in many things,
there is very rarely anything that
tends TO wean the American from his
home. The conventionalities of old
society, and habits and customs that
had their birth in circumstances and
conditions having no relations to his
life, do not tend to attract the Ameri-
can from his home love and loyalty.
He usually comes back a better
American than he goes away, with
the disposition only to avail himself
of what he has learned to improve
| himself, his home, and his country.
| The American, bred to great social
and political freedom, cannot rehn1
Iquish it, and can never feel entirely at
home where he does not enjoy it.
| He perfectly understands how an
| European can come to America and
be content with it as home, because
he can shape his life according to his
choice, but he cannot understand how
an American can emigrate to Europe
and make satisfactory home there,
because the social and political insti-
tutions would be felt as a yoke to
him, and burden.

The people of San Francisco do not,
like those of Eastern cities, go the
country in summer to find a cool re-
sort, but, on the contrary, the country
folks go to the city for that purpose.
The weather has lately been cool
enough in the city mornings to make
overcoats desirable, and a fire is occa-
sionally comfortable. Ifthe San Fran
ciscans go into the country in summer,
it is to get a temporary change, and
to exchange the land for the accus-
toned sea breeze.

OF the Empress Eugene the Paris
Gaulois says "The empress is still in
the same state of depression. She
receives nobody and dimes alone in
her own apartment. She only leaves
her room to go out into that Of her
son. On the first day she entered it
since his burial she nearly tainted on
beholding the fatal saddle which cost
the Prince Imperial his life. The
empress supports herself with the con-
solations of religion. When she is
not praying she gets her companions
to read piouS works to her, such as
those of St. Augustin and Massillon.
Her majesty is still obliged to take
chloral to obtain sleep. Her friends
have tried in vain to induce her to
change her residence and go to Spain
she insists on remaining at Chisel-
hurst for the time"

THE Cincinnati Gazette blames
General Ewing, who it says is moth
ing if not high-toned gentleman, "
for getting points against Sherman,
who it says is not candidate for
office" 1t strikes us Sherman holds
an important public Office and has an
nounced himself a candidate for
President. No man needs watching
more, as his favors to pet banks show.
Has the Gazette Joined the flying
Dutchman in pushing the Sherman
boom?

SECRETARY SCHURz said in his re-
cent Ohio speeches that he did not
think the Southern people contem-
plated rebellion" Mr.. Schurz is
not afflicted with the horrible fear OF
his Southern fellow-c citizens, which
robs his brother Republicans of their
midnight rest. He thinks they only
want to control the government
They probably do want that thing,
together with the entire Democratic
party. So do the Republicans want
control. There docs not appear to be
any demonstrable crime in that.

The Oneida Socialists having abol-
ished the complex marriage" system,
which made the women common prop
erty, as in Plato's ideal republic. a
great blot will be removed from the
good name of New York, and the
Oneida community will relieve itself
Of great obstacle to its prosperity.
The action is voluntary on the part Of
the managers, Perhaps the Mormons
may yet be persuaded to adopt the
decencies of monogamy by vigorous
process of ratiocination. Their sys-
tenn is worse than that of the Oneida
Socialists, however.
