Men Who Whistle.
~ flr-- ryf
Hondon World.1

OF men who whistle, few proceed to extrem-
tiles OF tune. 1t can hardly be said that they
whistle for want of thought, because no habit
ual whistler wants to think Whistling, with
the plurality of whistlers, merely serves as
signal which calls attention to their existence
fact otherwise at some risk of being over
looked. 1t is an effect of automatic instinct
rather than of conscious intentionr and it's
motive might be shared by the lower animals,
il the lower animals ever suffered from uneasy
self-esteem complicated with a sort of defiant
paauvaise honte. There are whistlers who not
only do not whistle sat their own sweet will 1"
but who evidently do whistle against it. II
sheep could refrain from baaing in circum-
stances which render it undesirable in nis own
interests, that he should baa, he would not
baa. If a whistler could refrain from whist
ling, when by whistling he makes himself feel
as painfully foolish as a man n the act of
whistling always looks, he would not whistle.
Whistling is intensely and peculiarly En-
glish and it has fourished very much of late
years; which fact looks a little awkward for
the intellectual character. as well as personal
manners of the nation. Let any elderly per-
son of good observation and memory try to
think what would have been the effect upon
roomful of people in his salad days, had q
steady, continuous whistle been set up by any
one in company. There were no railway car
riages for people to whistle in; but fancy if
any passenger in stage coach had ventHred
to whistle! We all know that habit spreads

very quickly, and the habits of individuals be-
come the habits of classes, and in time the
habits of nations. There is just the connec-
ton between an individual and his country,
through the classes with which he is most IA
miliar, that there is between the sentiment OF
egotism and the sentiment of patriotism
through the middle sentiment of parochiality.
This peculiar habit of whistiing. therefore,
may have spread from potboy to people,
passing through many steps of class contagion
by the way.
Few Frenchmen whistle, and Italians never.
The French, indeed, have proverb on the
subject, which is not complimentary TO their
lively neighbors, ourselves. When Germans
whistle, and it is not often they do, it is with
melody prepense. They cultivate odd gifts of
amusement; those convivial Teutons, and
whistling is sometimes practiced among them
as an accomplishment. But it is precisely be-
cause a German whistles with skill that he
keeps his endowment for service and seldom
whistles in public or without being asked The
Englishman who cannot whistle does. Do we
not all know the stolid fat man of few words,
but of one unceasing sound, who is SO entirely
the creature of habit that he takes up the
same position at regular periods, and II he
cannot get his accustomed chair pines ner-
vously in another? But in his place or out OF
1t, he whistles softly and OleaginCuSly, as II he
would never grow thin. His whistle is not the
shrill piping of the plebeian youth, who suffers
not the drowsy air to slumber, nor the sharp
winter wind to thrill him into silence. 1t is a
fat, round, soft, hard-breathing whistle, as of
an elderly grampus overcome by heat: Then
there is the restless man who whistles, and
who, so far from gravitating to one loved spot,
never sits five minutes in any. His whistle is
the most irritating of ALL for he seems to be
perpetually suffering from bad tune in the
head, which he is vainly trying to whistle
away. The restless whistler is great at the
DEVILS tattoo. He beats that internal rappel
with his fnger-nails on the table, on the crown
of his hat on auvthino raSnonSiva fO the uia-
bolical drumming A knife or poker will
serve him in keeping up steady tap-tap-tap
for as bad quarter of an hour as ever was
chimed on a cracked bell. If chance should
move him to put his hands in his pockets tits a
dead certainty that he will whistle. For he is
the bird of ill note; the prophet of disturbance
in the moral atmosphere; the Mother Carey's
chick of he vexed life-sea.

THE MESSAGE,
Comments of the London Times.

OOA0lOAto VI C16 AOuOOu 1lm0S.
LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Times in leading
editorial article this morning, reviewinga fore
cast telegraphed hither of President Hayes's
message to Congress, eongratulates the United
States on the uneventfulness of the annals of
the administration and the satisfactory state of
the finances. Relative to the fisheries question
the article says: "The doctrine attributed to
the late government, that the local laws of
Canada could overrule treaty obligations, was
never advanced by them. The real point at
issue between Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Evarts
was tie true meaning of the obligations of the
Treaty of Washington in respect to the concur
rent privileges of the citizens of the United
States and of the Dominion on the coasts of
the latter. The point may have been miscon-
strued, and Earl Granville, the present For
eign Secretary, may have removed the miscon-
ception. 1t is, however, most desirable that
the whole question should be settled in more
permanent fashion than is contemplated by the
Treaty of Washington, which seems purposey
framed to provide for recurring occasions of
quarrel. If new commission is to be appoint
ed, an effort should be made to effect final
settlement of the whole matter"

Southern and other Republicans supposed to
be acquainted with political affairs in the
South, which, after the signatures are obtained

of their representatives. Congress will be
asked to exercise its power and right under the
