The Waltz of Our Fathers.

Was thus described in a letter written
by an American traveller in Italy IN
1905. Among the corrupting fashions
which have been introduced here bN
the French officers is a lasciviOus dance
allied the waltz, originally learned by
them in Germany, but which is eX-
uctly adapted TO the taste OF a ynun.
French officer who is in quarters in q
city filled with pretty women, whose
morals are loose enough to join in tn.
lance. In The fist place, the ladies
are dressed la CIR, cVue; that is TO say
with the least possible attire, leaving
us little room for the Imagination "a
possible. the breast and arms totally
exposed or covered only with gauz. oi
Grape. Thus prepared Tor this embrac-
ing dance, the gentleman clasps with
both arms the lady firmly around the
waist, while she gently passes her>
around hi, body and softly reclin..s the
other upon his neck. You will prob
ably expect some description Of an ele
CANT figure, executed with taste and
affordiny variety and amusement. No.
The attitude constitutes all the pleasure
and all the novelty 0. the dance. The
dancers thus embracing and embraced
hegin TO turn most furiuusIy, precisely y
like 4 couple OF Shaking Quaker-: and
AS the motion would make. them dizzy
ii they did not keep their eyes fixed

each ether. In this state of painful
revolution they continue tifl nature is
exhausted, when the lady is prepared
TO repose Ler-elt, which she does in the
arms Of her camranion. The dance is
soon renewed, and though it has no
other termination than the fatigue of
the parties. nor amy other object than
iangulsnlng embrace, 1t generally
continues for several hours, exhibiting
neither variety, taste nor graceful mo-
tions. | do lIwt think it more indecent
to act than it is to sec il. The lady or
gentleman VI ho could do either without
a blush ma. rely upon it that hey are
half corrupted. This dance SO strongly
resembles the ahonliiiabie dances Of
the Bacchanal- that | ain persuaded
that it is derived from that source 1t
is probable the Roman officers carried
it with their arms to the north of
Europe, from whence it is now returned

base, if possible, still moie the Italions

and criminal exhibition should make
its way into our country. But console
myself with the reflection that man.
ners must have arrived at d high de-
gree of corruption before such dance
would be publicly permitted, and AS |
tlatter myself that We are as yet far re-
moved from that state OF moral de-
pravity, so | have rea-o to hope that
il Will not be introduced III my day

A Leap Year Privilege.

Miss Adams. of the Indian Territory,
tax ing advantage of l. ap year privileges
proposed to the Postmaster at Tulsa in
chat Territory, that they should wed.
The Postmaster, like the Judyein Maud
Muller, sat on his horse and unused.
making up his mind how he could tell
her il could never be. She had no hay
rake II her hand, but he saw the devil
in her eve anc noted that her hand was
under her apron. Finally, he summed
.Ip all his resolution, and uttered the
"ne word which conveys more wretch
,-dness than any other in the language.
You wort, ha.' shrieked the maid

Living in Q aiet.

\ rule for living happily with others
is to avoid having stock subjects for
dsputation. 1t mostly happens, when
people live much together, they have
come to have certain set topics, around
which, from frequent dispute, there is
such a growth of angry words, morti-1
fled vanity, a d the like, that the
original subject Of difference becomes
a standing subject forquarrel and there
* tendency IN al minor disputes to
drift down to it. Again, if people wish
to live well together, they must not
hold too much to logic, and suppose
that everything is to be settled by suf-
.icent reason. DR.. Johnson saw this
clearly with regard to married people
when he said: "Wretched would be
the pair, above all names of wretched-
ness, who should be doomed to adjust
by reason, every morning, all the min
ute detail Of the domestic day" But
the application should be much more
general than lie made it. There is ~
time for such reasonings, and nothing
that is worth them And when we
recollect how two lawyers or two poll
ticians can 60 on contending, and that
there is no end Of one-sided reasoning
on any subject, we shall not be sure
that such contention is the best mode
of arriving at truth. But certainly il
is not the way to arrive at good tenn

Now and Then.
A SURVEY OF THE POLITICAL FIELD
AND A COMPARISON WITH 1876.

"A SURVEY OF THE POLITICAL FIELD
AND A COMPARISON WITH 1876.
For the first time in twenty-four
years the Presidential battle is to be
fought upon the self-same field on
swhich the preceding encounter took
place. In 1880, as in 1876 thirty. eight
States are to be represented by 500
electors. Since the ground is the, same
to its farthest corner, survey OF the
field Of 1876 will 90 far to show the
weak places in either line and the
points for close fighting in the clash
that Is soon to come. Twenty-Five
Northern States are represented by 223l
electors, an average of lO5 electors to
each State, while only l3S electors are
ASSIGNED to the sixteen Southern States,
an average of s. electors to each State
Thus the Northern States choose five
ciyhths and the southern States three
eighths Of the Electoral College. In
1876 each section was subdivided spoliti
cally. The Republicans carried eigh-
teen Northern States, having lG6 elec-
YOU please to rate the result, three
southern States, h wing 19 electoral
vutes-a total of twenty-one States and
195 votes The Democrats were sue
cessful in four Nothern States, with 65
votts,-and thirteen Southern States,
with 119 votes-a total of seventeen
! States and 1S4 votes. Thus the Repuh-
leans obtained a ma jority Of lOl vote~
in the Northern States, while the
Democrats came literally within one OF
balancing the exhibit by a majority OF
/ 100 votes in the Southern States. Mr.
