ITHACA, the seat of the Cornell UNIVERSE
ty, which so handsomely entertained the
historian Freeman while in this country, is
evidently piqued at the criticisms which he
has made upon America. The Journal, in
leading editorial article, says: CDR. Free
man has discovered that Americans are de-
ncient in social graces, and it is perhaps an
evidence of the justice of the criticism that
we were not able to reconcile the eminent
Englishman's 'ceremonious' manners with
our own crude ideas of proper department.
1t may have been the thing in British soci-
ETY., but it certainly struck us as an innova-
tion when Dr. freeman received the visit of
famous Cornell professor with his back to
his guest and Chesterfeldian abandon
which manifested itself in the hiss of expec-
toration in the fire. Perhaps it was rigid
compliance with the ceremonial usage of
speakers in the public assemblages' of Lon
don that led DR.. Freeman to sit while adj
dressing an audience here with his feet on a
level with his voice, but it certainly struck
us as a novelty. We were also surprised to
hear that the eminent historian ate beans
With knife. We do not criticise the act,
of course, for the aristocracy of England
may do the same thing, and, of course, they
set the fashion for the rest of the world.
But it looked trife bizarre over here.

Veneration of the Monkey.
Honors Which Certain Eastern People
Pay to Their Remote Ancestors. Z,

Victor Jacquemont estimates that the Bengal
Presidency alone contains sixteen hundred
monkey asylums, supported chiefly by the very
poorest class of the population. In the rural
districts of Nepaul the hanumans have their
sacred groves and keep together in troops of
fifty or sixty adults, and in spite of hard times,
these associations multiply like the monastic
orders of medieval Europe; but they must all
be provided for, though the natives shonld
have to exc out their crops with the wild rice
of the Jumna swamp juDgles
The strangest part of the superstition is that
this charity results by no means from feeling
of benevolence toward animals in general, but
from the exclusive veneration of special sub
division of the monkey tribe An orthodox
Hindoo must not willingly take the life of the
humbleSt fellow creature, but he wonld not
move finger to save a starving dog, and has
no hesitation In stimulating beast of burden
with dagger like goad and other contrivances
that'wonld invoke the avenging powers of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails. Nor would he shrink from extreme
measures in defending his fields from the raw
ages of low caste monkeys. DR.. Allen Macken-
Zie once saw swarm of excited natives rum
ming toward an orchard where the shaking of
branches betrayed the presence of arboreal
marauders Some of them carried sings
came back crestfallen. whats the matter?"
inquired the doctor; "did they get away from
you?"
"Kapa Num- was the laconic reply, sacred
monkeys" Holy balloons that must not be in
telrupted in their little pastimes. They had
expected to find troop of common mskaques,
wanderers, or other profane four handlers,
and returned on tiptoe, like Marryatts SER
geant who went to arrest an obstreperoua
drunkard and recognized his command
ing officer. UDarmed Europeans can
not afford to brave these preiudices.
Captain Elphinstone's gardener nearly lost
his life for shooting a thievish hanuman; q
mob of raging bigots chased him from street to
street until he gave them the slip in a Moham-
metlan suburb, where sympathizing Unitari-
an helped him to escape through the back al
leys. The interference of his countrymen
would hardly have saved him, for the crowd
increased from minute to minute, and even
women joined in the chase and threatened to
cure his impiety with turnip smasher.

WORCESTER Spy: The death Of Lot NJ
Morrill, removes notable and eminently
respectable figure from the stage of Ameri-
can politics. Mr.. Morrill, was not one of
those men who manage to achieve reputa-
ton out of all proportion TO their abilities or
to their performance, and who succeed in
making a great noise in the world upon a
basis of comparative emptiness, bit he did
the public better service than many others
who figure more conspicuously before the
public view. He was man of sterling ca
paclty and of unusually sound judgment,
while his sturdy, unfaltering integrity was
never called into question. When the Green
back heresy seemed to be sweeping over the
land, Mr. Morrill, was one OF those who
stood firmly out for sound and honest cur
rency, and his vote was cast against the in
hation bill and in favor of resuming specie
payments. He was an Office holder of whom
his party had reason to be proud.

Mrs. Shoemaker, of Greek Locks, Ulster Co. N.

Mr. JOHN BAILEY, formerly of Portland,
has been for many yearsin the Clerks Office
of the national House of Representatives
and is now chief clerk. He has been so
efficient and indispensable an officer that he
was not displaced even during the six years
in which the Democrats controlled that
body. Mr.. Bailey is a stakeholder in the
Washington Gaslight Company, and Repre-
sentative Murch of Maine has ght 20
make himself conspicuous by charging that
Mr.. Bailey has made use of his position TO
influence legislation affecting the Gaslight
Company. Mr.. Bailey is we'll known here
as gentleman of high character and I'M
blemished int gritty and no one who knows
him will for moment believe that he has
been guilty of any misconduct in this or any
other matter. Mr.. Reed promptly met this
attempt in his usual effective fashion, and
1t is quite certain that Mr.. Bailey will suffer
no detriment from any investigation which
may be made.

Refine and her best girl friend, Pansy Per-
kins, were standing in the conservatory of
Coastclif Castle this dreary November after
noon, when the skies we're overcast with sullen
looking clouds whose presence foretold a COM
ing storm. They had been friends from youth,
notwithstanding that Pansy had sealskin
sacque two winters before, got ON the right side
OF the wheat market, and gave one to Refine.
Theirs was indeed deathless affection.
"Have you seen Daniel Rochat,' asked
Pansy, suddenly changing the subject of con-
versation.
"No" replied Refine "Wbat is it about?"
sob! it's lovely. A man wants to marry a
girl, and she loves him terribly. They are
married by the magistrate, and then the girl
wants to have another ceremony in the church,
The man refuses because he is an infidel, but
finally saws he will do as she likes. Then the
girl says she won't have him at all, and they
part very miserable"
THE girl refuses to marry him?" asks Refine,
in haggard tones
"Why, yes. She refuses utterly"
Where is the action of this play located?"

CONGRESSMAN Hammond of Georgia,
while at home for the Christmas holidays,
said TO friend: 81 am hardly as sanguine
of Democratic victory in 1884 as most of
my party colleagues are. You see, while
the Republicans lost great many votes in
the fall elections we did not gain them. We
carried New York with an overwhelming
majority, not because we recruited our par
ty, but because something like 100000 New
York Republicans didn't vote. Whether
they were mad enough to have stayed at
home, if by SO doing they would have elect
ed Democratic president, is question"
