MANNERS AND CIVILIZATION.

It might be gong too far to say that
civilization is mainly question of man.
ners, for it is certain that very good
manners may coexist with very bad
morals. But whenever we find period
in which manners are neglected or con-
temned, we are justified in suspectipg
influence, apparent or obscure. Now it is
a circumstance already widely noted that
in this country at this time the cultivation
of manners is very generally neglected.
The rudeness, coarseness, selfishness,
irreverence, which characterize the con-
duct of a considerable proportion of
young Americans of both sexes, are but too
familiar to all of us. Vulgarity and flip
pancy appear to be commonly mistaken for
marks of independence, and if there is one
thing more shocking and surprising than
the conduct of the young, it is the recep-
ton given to this conduct by their seniors.
The impudence, egotism, boorishness,
greediness, Incidence and general vicious
ness and unlovableness which are appar-
emily regarded as matters of course by
parents and friends, fill one with alarm
and dismay for the future. The case of
the young girls is even more discosraging
than that of the boys, for we naturally
expect more gentle and attractive man.
ners from women than from men, and while
we are prepared to excuse much rudeness
in the latter we look for better breeding in
their destined partners. But it must be
confessed that the girl Of the period is in
many respects extremely ungentle, in fact
unfeminine. Itwould seem that the educa-
ton and home discipline of the day develop
no altruistic virtues. Self.abnegation, self
restraint, self denial, even self-respect, ap-
pear to be scarcely understood. Bolster
GUS and unmannerly egotism is the rul-
ing phase of character. There is an ex-
travagant love of personal adornment,
linked with perfectly barbarous disregard
of mental elevation and refinement. Take
Shakespeare's women, and you will search
in vain for their reproduction in those
degenerate days. Softness and bashful-
ness, sweetness and aniability OF manners,
seem to have been discarded to great ex-
tent. And this is the legitimate and in
eyitable result of the weak and frivolous
methods of home training followed by
too many parents. A most pernicious
theory Of the rights of children has grown
up of late years, and we have no hest
tation in affirming that it has sent thou.

A SENSIBLE CONCLUSION.

The Senate very sensibly shelved the
resolutions against the new Chinese treaty.
It would have been great mistake to
have sent such resolutions 70 Washington.
Congress could only have concluded from
them that we did not know our own
minds ON the Chinese question. and while
they would have been accorded no weight
in legislation, they would have created
public opinion on behalf of the Chinese.
There are some Senators who profess to
believe that something is to be gained by
persistent advocacy of the most extreme
measures in this connection. We have
never been able to see the wisdom or use
fitness of such a policy. Measures which
are against reason carry no convection,
and measures which are unconstitutional
nroauoe no effects but the waste OF time
AMI money.

sands of boys and girls to ruin, shame and
death. The parent who permits his chill
dren to do as they please for fear of hurt
ing their spirits is worse than mere fool !;
lie is destroyer of his own family. The
virsces by which domesticity- stay of
all state s and the first requirement of
civilization fostered, are precisely those
which are being neglected in the present
generation. The result is that our chill
dren grow up void Of the qualities which
can alone fit them to be good husbands,
wives, fathers and mothers. In fact we
are sowing the wind, and those who come
after us will reap the whirlwind
