John and Jonathan.


There is a resolute persistency characteristic
Of the Englishman, which, however admirable
it may be-as for instance at Waterloo-is
amusing at other times-as for instance in his
current opinions of American manners and
customs. The average Briton is convinced in
his own mind that if the American woman is
not Daisy Miller, at least she ought to be,
and that if the American man does not wear
his trousers in his boots and carry revolver
he distinctly falls short of the true IDEAL 1t is
not to be denied that there are Daisy Millers
in America, nor that a very large number of
our fellow-citizens habitually wear their boots
outside of their trousers-a fact which is not in
the least to their discredit, provided their daily
avocation calls for that style of dress, but it is
very comical to find John Bull gauging his es-
Inmates by this rule. Perhaps his convictions
in this direction reached their climax when, a
few years ago, certain Western poet had the
wit or effrontery-call it which you pIease-to
present himself in London society booted, shirt
ed, armed and equipped in the regulation uni
form of the plains. He "toek" to admiration.
John and his ladies were delighted. Here, at
last, was the typical American in his native
costume! Now it goes without saying that this
was a piece of wretched affectaIion. The boots
and all the rest were as out of place in London
as full evening dress would be at camp IN the
"Rockies," but the poet made his mark and
his poems sold, and he was gratifed if not sat
isfied. Our English cousins would come much
nearer the mark if they could bring themselves
to realize that the habits. hopes and aspira-
tions of large proportion of American ladies
and gentlemen are substantially like their own.
They may not misplace their aspirates, nor
adopt rising infection, nor use the adjective
lawful you know-to the extent that prevails
in the best English circles, and they certainly
do 'guess" and speak to considerable extent
through their noses But these are trivial diff
ferences, which are quickly forgotten when
they become familiar. The plain fact is that
the average educated men and women of both
countries are very much alike when the super
fatalities are brushed away.

The Duty on Hay.

Capt. Boutele's letter in relation to adjust
ing the tax on imported hay was written July
18th, aud reached Washington on the evening
of the 21st. At the earliest opportunity on the
oath Mr.. DiDgley introduced the following bill
in the House:
A BILL
To adjust the duty on imported hay.
Be it enacted By the Senate ana house OF hepTeSea-
assembled That from and after the passage OF this
act the duty on imported hay shall be twenty per
centum ad valorum, being the same rate as was
collected on imported hay from April eighth, eigh-
teen hundred and sxty-eigbt to March twenty-third
eighteen hundred and eighty-tWo.
1t was sent to the Ways and Means commit
tee, before whom Mr.. Dingley made speech
in its behalf, and Messrs Reed, Hale and Frye
also urged its speedy adoption The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Wing says: 1.-THE
fact that the committee at once adopted the
bill as its own shows the potency OF those SEN
ators and members in this Congress. Mr..
Kasson reported the bill to the House on the
9th, and it went upon the union calendar.
The promptness of action in this case is almost
beyond precedent. And this emphasizes the
fact that the Republicans from Maine have
stood steadfastly at their posts in Congress all
through this protracted session, faithfully
watching the interests of their constituents,
while the Fusion twins have been skipping
away to mend rotten fences. But perhaps the
most significant moral to be pointed lies in the
fact that the Republican candidate for Cosi-
gress in the Bangor district has thus done
more, even before his election, to promote
practical legislation for the benefit OF this PEG,
pie than his Fusion predecessor has done IN all
the three and one half years that he has con-
structively warmed seat in the House.
