Dancing.
INatureI


DR.. Kulischer's paper on sexual selec-
ton in primitive times collects more
fully Than has been done by previous
writer's, the evidence that pairing-time
like that of the lower animals prevailed
in rude human society, taking effect es.
pecially in festivals held in spring and
autumn, at the times of returning
warmth and plenty. On these occasions
the great feature is the country dance
the often-unrestrained proceedings Of
which are not to be looked upon as alb
normal orgies, but as simply and undis
guisedly natural, forming, indeed, part
and parcel of the marriage-system Of
rude communal society.
The courting-dance, though becoming
more decorous with advancing culture
has held on with extraordinary tenacity
through the history of society. In the
middle ages it fully kept its connection
with the season festivals to which il
especially belonged, curious relics O
which still remain in European villages
for instance, the Ascension Day Festiya
near Gotha, where the dance under tn,
linden tree still marks the union of th'
peasant couples. DIR. Taylor added tina
the dances of the modern ballroom, how
ever refined and ceremonious, show clea
traces of descent from these ruder per
formanoes, not only in form, but in &C
| tual purpose.

Mrs. Christine Clemson, of Chicago,
lives with her husband in a modest little
tenement, nearly all the furniture Of
which was made by herself. Standing
opposite the parlor is a very handsome
organ, the case of which is finely finished
in variety of hard woods. Upon the
case is very lifelike bird in the act OF
seizing cherry in its bill. On a front
panel is an East Indian, full-rigged ship
under full sail. The water, which j,
most excellently represented, is a piece
of dark wood whose grain is wavy, and
which is neatly jointed to produce the
desired effect. A secretary occupies tht
other side of the room, ard is con
structed Of three thousand pieces of wood
The design is unique, and the manner il
which a humber of secret drawers i
slowed away is something marvellous
The center table is also of her construo
ton, and is very handsome. The col
nices, picture frames, stools and chair
are all from the deft fingers Of Mrs. Ol
enSOu.

SEYMOUR on Coolis Labor


Ex-Gov. SEYMOUR, in a speech upon
the BrRLrsGANE treaty, delivered ten
years ago a. Rochester, n. Y, said:
1t is said we want cheap labor. We
do not want cheap labor, but well paid
labor. Interest as well as justice and
humanity cali for this. II all who labor
in this country took the wages and spent
as little money as the Chinese laborer
our Government would be bankrupt
and business would shrink up.
Well paid labor spends freely
with the business man and fills the
National Treasury by the imports and
duties it pays on what it uses. This is
the whole source OF our hnanciai
strength as compared with other peo'
Piles. Ii labor is brought down to the
Chinese standard there will at once be q
difference in the condition OF classes
which will in the end overthrow our
Government. We pay higher taxes
and interest than any other people, and
if the price OF labor is put down to
Asiatic rates, capital will swallow up the
earnings OF toll more rapidly than what
was ever vet done in the history OF ma
tions. Ifthisis to be our future We have
lost in vain nearly a million lives in the
war. 1t is not the object OF Govern
ment to undersell others, to pinch our
selves that we may pinch others. The
great end OF statesmanship is to give,
comfort and plenty to each home, and
TO take care that labor is we'll paid. We
should seek to give happiness to each
fireside circle, and not to fill the Golfers
of capitalists.
That is the Democratic view of the
labor question. The Democratic plat
form says "NO MORE CHINESE M
MIGRATION" for the reason urged
with so much force by the distinguished
statesman, HoRATIo SEYMOUR.

WHO AXE .oNBEREPsSnfAsIVn
lUaINESS MHRe"

The Iateiigencer makes haste to say
that those business men, and msnuiac'
turers, who are DEMOCRATS, are not, Tor
that reason, Representative business
men," 1t gives no other reason than
that. The REGISTER presented the views
of thee presidents Of our leading iron
nufactories. The irop manufacturers
are representative industries in this
city. Men who preside over
these are usually understood and
recognized as representative business
men.
We presented the views OF one OF
the members OF firm representingons
of the largest glass manufactures IN
the city. The glass manufactures are
regarded IS representative IN
stitutions in the business OF this
city. Men who own and control them
are entitled to be called representative
business men" OF Wheeling. We know
no reason why they should not be, ex'
cept that they happen to be Democrats
which the InteHigsncer urges as a dis
qualification.
These men, not only exercise con-
trolling influence upon the representa-
tive industries OF the city, but their Tor
tunes are locked up in them to great
extent. Col. WM. L. HEARSE is one oil
the largest owners of this kind OF prop
erty in the city Of Wheeling. As he has
said, nearly all his possessions, and the
property of his family, consist in this
kind of stock. And so with others who
are stockholders and officers in these
institutions and dependent upon them
for a livelihood. But unfortunately
they are Democrats. They endorse the
Democratic ticket; advocate the Demo
cratic policy on the tariff; have care
for the wages of their employees as well
as for their own incomes; and will vote
for HANCOCK and ENGLISH to-mor-
row. Therefore, forsooth, they
are not representative business
men; they have mo put" upon ques.
tons of business; they are scrubs" IN
the line of business qualifications and
standing, and their opinions are entitled
to no weight when they antagonize arls-
tocratic Republican opinions
1t is favorite argument with the aris-
tocrat who presides over the Fourteenth
street organ that Democrat has no
opinions that are entitled to respect;
that he has no standing that can give
him responsibility; that the business
man and the employee alike, who vote
with the Democratic party, are but
scavengers who should be made to eat
crumbs from the Republican table;
and that in the march to Empire, it is
the destiny of the Republican party to
rule and the destiny OF the Democrat to
serve. Could that individual enforce
his views and give practical operation to
his principles there would be only
bricks without straw for employees and
protection and profit for capitalists. No
Democratic employee woull have any
rights that anybody was bound to re-
spcct, Just as no Democratic business
man has net now opinions that it re-
CARDS worthy OF credit.
All we have to say about that editors
critici ms and depreciation of the bust
ness standing and opinions OF such men
as We presented in the interviews OF
last Friday, is, that his remarks were
impudent, impertinent and contempti-

as wide difference between the general
appearance OF the handwriting OF this
Jewell letter, and that Of the two letters
in the hands of my friend, as had be-

constrained in the cause OF truth to say
that there is far more resemblance be.

the two letters OF my friend and either Of

The only way that I can account for
this is that Mr.. Garfield must have
changed his handwriting in the last four
wears, or that some one else must have
written either the letters to my friend or

GEO. b. Caldwell, Esq, Republican
candidate for Attorney General, makes
the point that workingmen are support
ing the Democratic ticket because "a
low tariff would bring high wages, "
Mr.. C. does not say whether he en-
dorses this theory or not, but he evil
IDENTIFY thinks it good point. His po-
sition seems to be much like that OF the
htelligencer. which favors high produc'
