scandalous, much more snobDlsh, and
written in the most depraved form OF modern
slang. s'That's the sort of hairpin ace are,
fstilJ TO express ourselves in a manner intel
lioible. we trust, to Mr.. Warner, and then
we get angry when the Americans criticise
ourselves. Mr.. James makes his young
English lords use those violences of express
sion which are common among schoolboys,
and our outraged patriots cry that never did
students of English manners, like Mr.. Rich
ard Grant White, object 20 our insular Gus
tom of dressing for dinner, which caused it,
convenience to Mr.. Grant White when he
went down to country house in the sim
pie elegance OF morning coat, without any
evening war paint. Now, if we are to get
real enjoyment out of stirring up the Ameri-
can eagle and hearing him scream, we should
take care that the British lion does not an
saer with another roar like the lion in
"Bombastes Furioso'' when the American
eagle takes liberties with him. But the air
is full of the magnificent roaring of the old
lions of Blackwood's Magazine and the
Quarterly Review. They roar after
Mr.. Howells and that pathological sage,
Mr. Warner, as the lions in the Rose
and the Ring (by the exploded Thackeray,
Mr.. Howells' roared over the Count Hoggi-
narmo. Blackwood's Magazine roars with
pawky Scotch roar, as of a wild beast not
devoid of sense of humor. But the Quarter
ly's roaring is prodigiously earnest, and
must afford the heartiest satisfaction to
Messrs. Howelis and Warner. Does such
very small game as Mr.. Warner Ito vary the
metaphor) need to be fired at out OF a pro-
digious piece that takes three months in the
loading, and can such wrath possess celes-
tial minds? We confess it with shame; the
literary Briton has been stirred up at last, and
seems Just as touchy as the most unheard-of
contributor in the most obscure of transat-
lantic literary journals. There is indeed a
great deal of human nature in man. These
angry English writers have spoiled the fun.
There will be no sort of pleasure in wiring
ing the American literary withers whatever
withers may bel while the CALLED jade is
wincing so conspicuously at some.

i[Belfast Journal
The Iudanendent Editor.

We can recall no class more deserving of
sympathy, we had almost written pity, than
the editions of so-called independent newspa-
pers. Their lot is certainly hard one.
Their mission can never be satisfactorily
performed. The tight rope performer is
more successful, for, as rule, he keeps his
balance, and it is only now and then that
one breaks his neck. But the independent
editor is always breaking his neck, fgura-
lively speaking. Trim as closely as he may
in political contest, he is sure to come out
an Independent Republican or an Indepen-
dent Democrat, and the weight of his infu-
ence is generally felt against the party
whose cause he halfway espouses. If, on
the other hand, he impartially abuses both
parties, seeing no good in either, he must be
set down as visionary or a crank, and so
loses all journalistic prestige. The 'steeter-
err is another phase of this branch of news
paperdom, and it is well illustrated by a
widely circulated daily of New England.
What the children of to-day may call see
saw used to be known as lettering. A
plank is placed across log, there is child
on each end of the plank, and alternately
one goes up and the other down. The paper
in question evidently puts its Democratic
editors at one end of the plank and its Re-
publican editors at the other end First the
Republicans have it, and then the Demo
Gratis; and we are expected to regard this
political lettering as independent journal
ism. But it hardly seems to fill the bill.
There is another class of independent
journalists who are somewhat chary of COM
hitting themselves on public questions,
while loudly proclaiming their indepen-
dence. They remind us of the story of the
woman who had invited company, and not
wanting her husband about, drove him un-
der the bed with the broom. The guests
were startled subsequently by seeing head
appear with the remark from the indepen-
dent husband that while he had the spirit of
man he would look out from under the
bed. This fits good many independent
editors, who may be found under the bed
when any important political contest is in
progress, but who pluck up courage to make
an occasional remark from that vantage
ground.
The independent editor must walk very
straight-not too straight, but just straight
enough. He must not stoop; not even to
conquer. To be wholly consistent he should
pursue the same policy in his, locals that he
does in his editorial columns. If he praises
neighbor Jones's turnips, he must eulogize
neighbor Smiths cabbages; if he puffs A's
pig he must blow for BIS calf. When one
thinks of the pitfalls which surround the
independent editor and of the never ceasing
strain upon his intellect, one wonders how
he keeps up at all, and why he does not lay
down his pen and dig CLAIMS or saw wood
for living.

An Eloquent Introduction.
How Col. Ingerson Presented Lecture
to an Audience.

In introducing the Crier of the Illinois
Court, where Lincoln practiced, who lee
tured in Washington lately, Col. R. G. In
gersoll said: s'Ladies and gentlemen, we are
to hear lecture about "Abe Lincoln Not
Lincoln the President, Lincoln the Liberia
tor, Lincoln the statesman, but Lincoln the
lawyer Something about him as he was
when he fell heir to agony and to fame;
something about his mode of life, his hab-
its, his thoughts, his words-that is to say,
his daily life-because such peculiarities in
their characters are omitted by biographers.
"Nearly every great character of history
is kind of great monstrosity We know
nothing about Washington. He is a steer
engraving. No dirt of humanity clings to
his roots. We will hear about Lincoln, who
lived where men were free and equal, and
was acquainted with people-not much with
books. Every man is in some sort book.
He lived, the poem of the year-in the fields,
the W Gods, the blessed country. To him
every landscape was teacher, every flower
lesson, every grove fairyland. A coun-
man the idea of home. He hears the rain
on the roof, the rustles of the breeze, the
music of Natures fullest choral.
You have no idea how many men edu-
cation spoils. Colleges are where brick-bats
are polished, and diamonds dimmed. If
Shakespeare had graduated at Oxford, he
would probably have become petti-fogging
attorney or hypocritical parson. Lincoln's
education was derived from men and things.
and hence he had chance to develop. He
was many-sided man. He was smiles, as
well as tears He was not afraid to seek for
knowledge where he had it not When
man is too dignifed to ask, he ceases to
learn. Lincoln was logician Logic is
capacity. 1t is child of good heart and
good head. He was always honest with
himself. He was an orator-that is, he was
natural If you wish to be sublime, you
must sit closely to the heart of human expe-
rience.
"Above the clouds it is too cold. The diff
ference between the orator and the mere ell
ocutionist is nowhere better seen than in the
speeches of Lincoln and Everett at Gettysss
burg. One came from the heart; the other
was born only of the voice. Lincoln's
speech will be remembered forever; Ever
ett's no man will read. If you want to find
out what man is to the bottom, give him
power. Every man can stand adversely: on :;
~ q great man prosperity. II IS the glory Of
Lincoln that he had power and Fever mis-
used it except on the side Of mercy. He
will be known as the gentle and good. He
would never put a man ont of office without
chance to explain, so as not to leave
stain upon his name"

saturday Review
International Loneliness.

We are always stirring up the American
eagle, with poles not so short but that they
reach across the Atlantic. We venture, for
example, to grin at the American patriotic
poet. Singing of a battle, he describes war
riors who "btoodied up that day." This is
as comic as the English patriotic poet, with
his famous line, Ground these devoted
bois.' The American Young Girl, or rath-
the pother made by analysts of the Young
Girl, has moved us to laugh in very Sarda-
man manner" as Homer may be translated
We smile when the Americans load our So
cial notorieties with dollars and freely ex
press our opinion of the wisdom of that
course. Then about the American language
we are forever having our pathological fling.
Expressions like edo tell" 81 want to
know liquor up" "bloody up" (sanc-
toned as it isby Tyrt@n bard,) sayings
such as 81 feel like brandy-and-water,' &C.,
on these we lecture, looking all the while
''as smiling as a basket OF chips" we
blame the American newspapers, ana
