Social Pleasure In Old Age.
New York Times.I

Sir Arthur Helps asserts, in one of lis
instructive essays, that capacity for
social enjoyment increases with years.
By social enjoyment is meant an agree.
able interchange Of ideas amid material
comfort, and, where possible, elegance.
In this country what has been termed
society" has, until quite of late years,
existed almost exclusively for young un-
married people, and as soon as the rubi.
con of marriage was reached their society
days were held to be over. There has
undoubtedly been some improvement in
this respect, but still the fact is not
sufficiently recognized that soci i life,
rightly understood, is quite as agreeable
to people Of forty as to those of twenty
four.
The change which has, during the past
two years, taken place is not at all for
the better as regards older people-we
mean the decline of evening visiting by
men. A few years ago thi, WAS quite
pleasant feature of New York winter
life. Men intimate with family chap
pened in" and fell into the talk going
on around the hearth, thus affording soci-
ETY. without the slightest eff,rt or, we
may add, expense. 1t is alleged that this
pleasant custom has fallen into desue-
tule, to the regret of many, by reason Of
a habit VIII Oh has crept in of having al
upstairs sitting-room. As consequence
the drlwing-room, instead of being brigh
and CHEEKY in the evening, is unlit and
deserted. The miserable visitor, shown
into the dreary apartment, and waiting
while the servant lights it up and goes to
announce him, votes the whole thing
CHASTITY, and VOWS he WON'T be there
again in hurry.
1t is true that if he is intimate with
the family he will be ushered up-stairI
in due time to the domestic sanctum, but
that is a very different thing to being
shown at once into pleasant apartment
full of family life. These up-stair re-
treats are very good for morning rooms,
but in the evening people should live in
their drawing rooms which otherwise get
that dreary, never-llved-in, company ap-
pearance which we associate with the
best parlor of farm house. These up
stairs rooms have sent many men to club
and billiard saloons who would other.
wise have been enjoying their time in o
pleasant family circle.

GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT.

FRosTBURe, March 10, 1880.
M. Editor You are doubtless
fully aware of the formidable obsta-
cles that have been laid in the path
of Mr.. Henry Loveridge in his efforts
to provide relief for the depressed
business interests of this county.
They are and have been no more nor
no less than any other man must have
encountered, who seriously proposed
to break the power that held this
great coal field, and the people of this
section, practically in subsection.
We are glad, however, to be able to
say that he will soon be at the end of
his struggle. Already Cumberland
commands cheap railroad sommunica-
ton with the great markets, and her
future position as manufacturing
centre is now assumed. Soon the
Georges Greek read will be running,
and with wisdom in the management
Of the coal companies, our region will
outstrip its greatest prosperity in the
past. And I may add in this con-
nection that if in the accomplishment
of these great purposes it happens, as
an incident, that our courts are made
more cautious, or perhaps pure, it will
in itself be great public good done.
We should, therefore, be true to our
selves and to our common interests
by giving every encouragement con-
sistent with honor to this great en-.
terprise, while the revolution in our
affairs are going on. ENTERPRIsE,

FROM THE CAPITOL.
WARRINGTON D. c., Mar. 10, 1880.

WARRINGTON D. O., Mar. 10, 1880.
That was remarkable scene in the
House Special Committee room yes
tsrday at the hearing on the Panama
canal scheme of DeLesseps. Any one
could see that the ex-French specu-
lators had received blow between
the eyes by the down-cast aspect of
DeLesseps followers. The President,
in announcing his adherence to the
moron doctrine, rather added to than
took away from it, and the foreign
ers were very much disappointed.
But they received another blow in the
committee room no less stunning.
After DeLssseps finished his remarks
in praise of his scheme, Capt. James
B. Eads, made a speech in which he
clearly exposed the unscientiic and
unpracticable nature of the whole
canal scheme. The knowledge he
displayed on the subject startled the
spectators who have been playing
upon the credulty of American CAPT
talists. Mr.. Eais followed up this
line of remark with an explanation Of
his plan for connecting the ocean by
means of a great ship railway, that
shall lift up of the water and trans
port the largest vessels and their car
Cos. He showed to the satisfaction Of
all; first, that the ship railroad is en-
tirely practicable; second, that such
road can be built for one-half the
cost Of canal with locks, and one
quarter the cost Of a tide water canal;
third, that the railroad can be built
in one-quarter the time required for a
canal; fourth, that ocean vessels Of
the largest tonnage, with cargos, can
be carried from ocean to ocean with
safety and speed far exceeding trans
portation by canal. The Fades plan
has at once taken step in advance Of
all others, and it is likely that Con-
gress will very soon take action in its
favor.
Political disputes was begun yes
terday in the House, and there is no
telling where it will end. The sub
ject was the bill declaring against po-
litical assessments of .office-holders.
The democrats are united for the bill,
and Mr.. House, of Tennessee, made
strong speech assailing the policy of
the President and the republicans in
general. Gen. Garfield, Mr.. Tryh
and others will reply, and it is ex-
pected that the discussion will wax
hot.
The signs begin to thicken Of Mr..
Tilden's hand in the presidential
canvass. His friends are beginning
to claim that he will be nominated
on the first ballot. No other demo-
cratic candidate seems to have equal
strength with him. KNOX.

AS the season advances, the course
of general trade throughout the couh'
try becomes more clearly defined
The situation from New York stand
point, is, on the whole, as satisfactory
as could possibly be expected. There
are but few trades that have not
made money the past six months and
are not now in strong position, with
warrantablo anticipations Of a healthy
business throughout the current year
In dry goods, it is not too much
to say that the spring trade, up to
this time, has been the most active on
record and with that q eat interest on
so prosperous basis, other lines Of
business could not well be in the drag.
the extraordinary movement in iron
and steel appears to be partially
spent, with indications, however, that
the pause is only preliminary to
fresh start by and by. The railroad
and transportation companies are all
about as busy as they we'll can be,
and the quantity of goods going into
the interior-both by water and rail
for distribution, is considerably in ad-
vance of that of this time last season.
