MOnotOny Of American Men.

A visitor from the new world can not
but be struck with the absolute indie
pendence with which Englishmen live
up to their own ideas, whether they CO.
incide with the general current of opin-
ion or not. On the other side of tho
Atlantic public sentiment rules with al
most irresistible force; no erratic de-
partures from the general law are toll
Grated; every man must conform to the
rules of the majority. If you know one
young man in the United States you
know them all They resemble each
other with curious fidelity in dress.
manner, and appearance. Their very
thoughts, racy and original as they are,
run in the same groove, and they give
expression to them in the same crystal
lied forms of speech. This iron rule
does not prevail to nearly so great an
extent in Canada. but it exists with SUI
ficient force to make the independence
of the individual Englishman marked
even to a Canadian. The old Indian
generals who affect eastern modes of
life in misty England, the retired sea
captains whose talk is ever in nautical
phrases of nautical matters, and other
riders OF hobbies InnumeraDle, who
have furnished materials to many au-
thors, and amusement to many genera
tions Of readers, abound in England
and ,ielp to render the land picturesque
aud attractive.
All these harmless and amusing ec-
centricities are almost ruled down into
dead level of monotonous uniformity
in the new world. Perhaps l should eX-
cept New York from this general state
ment. This, the greatest city in Amer
lea, is the most cosmopolitan in its
character Men of all nationalities go
to make up its vast population; it is less
distinctly American than Philadelphia
or Boston. Its young men, whether in
tentionally or not, closely resemble
young Englishmen; indeed. all classes
exhibit their own peculiarities unintiu-
enced by the repressing tyranny of gen.
eral habits or opinions.

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR HEAD

No matter What parts It may finally
effect, catarrh always starts in the head,
and belongs to the head. There is no
mystery about the origin of this direful
disease. It begins in neglected cold.
One of the kind that is ''sure to be better
in few days" Thousands of victims
know bow it is by sad experience. Ely's
Cream Balm cures colds in the head and
catarrh in all its stages. Not stuff nor
& liquid. Applied with the finger to the
nostrils.

vessels trading with certain foreign ports, to
three cents per ton for each entry to aggre-
gate for q year, not to exceed fifteen cents
per ton, and with certain other foreign ports
to six cents per ton, an entry not exceeding
