Travelling Human Nature.
Egyptian Gazette. i

There are, perhaps, few things which one
comes across in everyday life better calculated
to give an insight into the weaker side of hu-
man nature than the Visitors Book kept at a
Continental hotel. In it one sees the obvious
wish of the writer to present himself or her.
self to the world in some particular light. 1t
need scarcely be said that the form adopted is
not generally that of self abasement. Thus
the signature of ~. G. Colman M. p, pour
Norwich" )" at an obscure inn ON the Simplon
Road, points unmistakably to the newly
fledged member of Parliament anxious to
dazzle the world with his rank and impor
tance. Mr.. Colman may or may not be a por
tion of the British Legislat ure, but in any case
the fact can scarcely be of much interest to
the dwellers in the Southern Alps, and still
less so to the travellers who may follow in his
footsteps.
Another entry in the same book refers to
the advent of citizen of the Great Republic
and runs as follows: 'W. Holden, United
States of America, arrived with four in hand.'
There is something about this last which one
can hardly help liking; it is so plain and out
spoken. 1t says: 81 am a Dragging upstart
Yankee, and don't care who knows it," Mr..
Holden, when blossoming on the free soil Of
America, is, no doubt, in the language Of Mr..
Lafayette Kettle, 'as remarkable man as any
in the country" but it was hardly worth while
to publish the precise manner in which he re.
vealed himself to the admiring eyes of villag-
ers of the Tyrol. Next we have apparently an
Egyptian, in the person of a traveller who
signs himself "Jules Guichard, Directeur, Ad-
minstration Canal de SueZ." Following him
in the same book is the signature of one OF the
most distinguished Frenchmen of modern
times. 1t is simply Leon Gambetta, Avocat''
A lady either anxious to show her impor-
tance, or desrous of proving that she is not
guilty of the impropriety of travelling alone.or
both. describes herself as "Miss Cummins and
domestique''
Three American yonDg ladies at an inn at
the village of Simpeln fill in the column OF the
book beaded occupation" with the words,
Looking for a husband"
One of the most noteworthy features in
these books is the tendency of the writer's,
more especially of those OF Anglo-Saxon race,
to mix up two or three languages in the half
dozen words which they think it necessary to
write Thus, in addition to the above, "Lau-
renee G. Boggs'. adds to his signature the ex-
preston "Etats- Unis d'Amerique;" Mrs. Z.
Shorter "Londres, Angleterre," and Mr.. Irv-
niger ''tres satisfait." Again, Lycurgus B.
Smith tells US that he is zen route pour
Rome" and Mr.. Epaminondas Brown that he
is 'parti for California"
1t is difficult to avoid smiling at these little
eccentricties of the human race, and if perpe-
trating them affords pleasure to the perpetra-
ors it assuredly does no one else any harm
Travelling is said to be one means of improv-
ing peoples minds and adding to their intelli-
gence. If so, there can be no doubt that there
is with many people ample need of both.

New YORK Herald: Will Democr attic
follies never cease? The latest scheme
Matched by William H. Barnum and John
Kelly for diverting attention from their
blunders is project for calling in question
and setting aside Garfield's majority in the
state of New York. Kelly, at least, is not
quite such an idiot as to expect that this
piece of bravado will succeed, but if it
should screen him from the Democratic in
dignation which his treachery has aroused
it would accomplish the only purpose for
which he abets it. If, with Barnum's
aid, he can succeed in raising dust of con-
troversy over the legality of the New
York election and can enlist the party in
this state in reckless attempt to give the
New York electoral votes to Hancock, he
hopes TO stink away in the resulting confu-
sion. Barnum has a similar motive for
raising false issue for shielding himself
from Democratic censure.
The Portland daily press., 1880-11-11

THE Baltimore Sun, which represents the
conservative shade of Southern Democratic
opinion, had this to say of Barnum and his
plans: "As appears by accounts from New
York the Committees representing the
State and local Democracy of New York
have resolved upon thorough investiga-
ton of alleged frauds by colonization, re-
peating, etc., in the recent Presidential
election in that State. If the idea is enter
tanned that any such investigation may lead
to reversal of the supposed popular ver-
dict in New York, and to possible trans
fer of the electoral votes of that State from
Garfield to Hancock, the more quickly that
idea is abandoned the better. The election
is settled. So far as the popular verdict is
concerned, there is no reversal to be looked
for. There is no room or occasion, aprar-
emily, for disputed or contested election.
None of the questions presented in 1876 are
likely to arise, unless, possibly, in regard to
the qualifications of some individual Elec

ing second fiddle to the unreliable dough-
faced Democracy of the North" "They
have been always" says the Times, ''fertis
in promises but sterile in deeds. The truth
is, and it might as well be stated boldly aud
squarely, that they offered nothing to invite
the confidence and support of the country.
They were at sea on financial matters and
played fast and loose with the rag-baby
crowd, On other great economic questions
they had no settled policy. Some shouted
for free trade, some for free ships, and 9th
ers for the most ample protection to Ameri-
can industries. One faction cursed the
national banks as a great evil. Another
faction praised them as blessings. The
great, rich North, concerned about her
wealth and material prosperity more than
anything else, looked with distrust upon the
uncertainty which these conflicting
and unsettled views and theories of the
Democratic leaders promised"

we'll known lady artist, resident in Rome,
relates that while standing one day near the
statue of the Apollo Belvidere, she suddenly
became aware of the presence of a country
woman. The newcomer, well-to-do ooking
American woman, introduced herself as Mrs.
Raggles, of NJ, Missouri, then asked:
'Is this the Apollo Belvidere?'
Miss H testified to the identity OF the
work, and the tourist then said:
Considered great statue?'
The interrogated lady replied that it was
generally thought to be one OF the masterpieces
of the world.
MANLY beauty and all that sort of thing?"
said the lady from the land of the setting sun.

NEW YORK Post; There should be an
end forthwith of the nonsense about a dis
puted Presidential election. There is ample
evidence already of the profound disgust
which is felt by respectable members of the
party for Barnum and his associates on the
one hand and for Kelly and his collar-wearers
on the other hand. Unless these men speed
lily take themselves out of the public sight
there will be liyelier expression of this
feeling than they look for.

"GATH'' thinks it is safe to say that, with
the commencement of Congress, investiga-
tions will be kicked out of public business,
unless they come on grave information
such as a Congress, for its own dignity's
sake, must look into; but newspaper letters
from anonymous people, and particularly
from the set of jackals who have infested
Congress for the past eight years, are not to
be the occasion for any more investigations
The newspapers which eight years ago led
off in the work of investigation are now
driven out of the field, merely by the growth
of worse papers that have learned the trick.
Another class of newspaper correspondents
is required at Washington-men who study
the public business instead of squirting in
to private character, and know how Gov
ernment is organized and what its traditions
have been.

David Kennedy, of Rondout, New York, who told
her at once that the injured eye must be removed.
She quietly but firmly said: 'All right Doctor but
don't give me chloroform. Let my husband sit by
my side during the operation and will neither cry
out or STIR" The work was done, and the poor
woman kept her word. Talk of soldierly courage!
This showed greater pluck than it takes to face a
hundred guns. To restore her general health and
give tone and strength to the system, DR.. Kennedy
than gave the "Favorite Remedy" which cleansed
the blood and impaired new life to the long suffer-

After much persuasion, Prot. Edison has been
prevailed upon to give to the world his truly wonder
u discovery for aeviating pain. For years he suffer-
ed from neuralgia pains, unable to find any remedy
among the hundreds which he tried that would give
him permanent ease Finally he became con yinced
that he must become his own physician and seek,
by experiments, for the desired relief. He had
taken all the well known sedatives which gave only
tempory relief, and produced nervousness, loss of
appetite, &c. He now sought for combination of
such remedies as would, by out,card application,
cure him of his distress and at the time not be
injurious to his system.
Trials and experiments followed this determina-
ton until he at last produced compound which
by application, entirely subdued all pain and al
lowed his system to recuperate, and throw off the
disease.
