TYPES OF ENGLlSHMEN.

What Correspondent Has Observed.
Nearly Everybody Dresses Alike.
In ones every day experience in society, be
it gained in summer or winter, spring or au-
tumn, while one meets many specimens of
what may be termed the genus gentleman"
as he lourishes in England, and who, as such,
present no distinctive ear marks different
from the one common pattern, one encounters
various types of men. Taken in a general
way, there is good deal of resemblance be-
tween them. But underlying the surface
made by the observance of code of social
rules, whose enforced acceptance makes men
apparently so alike, there exists current of
individual personality discernible in the
channels chosen for the qualification OF their
inherent and society permissible bents
Thus, as distinct types of English gentle
men, we have the hunting man, the fishing
man, the vocalist, the musician, the cricketer,
the amateur actor, the turtle, the yachts
man, the boating man, the 'horsey" man, the
"army1 man, the naval" man, the young
barrister, the lawn tennis player, the shoot
ing man, the dog fancier, the politician,
and, rarest types of all in English high soci-
ety-the scientific and literary man. In
many men two or more Of these distinct
types combine, as it were, and we have an
army man possessing and exhibiting the
distinguishing characteristics of the tennis
player, the amateur actor, or the yachtsman;
or the yachtsnan may be a cricketer or
"dogn fancier, or both, as well Or, again,
the young barrister may be politician "a
most frequent combination), or the hunting
man may be vocalist, and so ON.
But think it win be generally found that,
while several traits may be possessed, one
will take the lead and show itself before the
others Now, how do these governing signs
of individual taste exhibit themselves in soci-
etya In good society all men dress alike. The
exhibition of anything savoring of profession
or predominant taste in either clothing or
ornament would be about as glaring COMES
sion of low breeding, or "bad form" as q man
could make. OF course, | except clergymen.
Their garb is unmistakable. From the high
church curate, in long black coat and stand
ing collar, buttoned only at the throat, sun
white choker fastened behind, and black felt
hat with cord and tassel, to the low church
rector or vicar, whose black suit OF ordinary
clothing is relieved by a simple white cravat,
we have the aparson." Bishops, deans ana
archdeacons too, wear "aprons, CATERS, ana
shovel hats with rosettes. There is no mis-
taking them. Everybody else dresses alike.
1t is true that all doctors wear black coats
and high achimneypot" hats white or drab III
summer, black in winter; but doctors can't
be classed with the men am speaking of, for
DOCTORS as a rule with very few exceptlons),

A Bird story.

There is at Leeds, England, an
ornithological association. Among
other things they study the songs Of
wild birds. Not long ago they pit
ted a full song acclimated nigh
tingal against Yankee hooking
bird. They sang together and then
they sang apart First the nightin-
gale led off until every thing he sang
was duplicated and improved upon
upon by our national songster.
Then the hooking bird struck off
into new field of song. The nigh
ingale listened, but did not repeat
He pinned away and died within a
week.

PAYING rHE PENAL TT.

"Thc wages Of sin is death.' Not al
ways, but the exceptions to the rule are
not general enough 70 discredit It. Dis
honored women seek relief from shame in
the suicides grave; faithless public Off
ciale, who have stolen public moneys, fly
to death to escape the penalty that awaits
them in life; einbezzling bank cashiers or
presidents relieve the odium OF disgrace
In the seli-sought Lethean wave. In every
such frequent instance OF self-destruc-
ton the cause could be found in career
OF extravaganza and dissipation, leading
TO life of sin, whose wages is death.
Perhaps the most melancholy example OF
retribution for hypocrisy and licentious-
ness is to be found in the story of Henry
ID. Jardine, an Episcopal minister, which
has been brought to wretched close by
his own voluntary act, at st. Louis
Jardine was a gay and fashionable
young man twenty years ago, and his
slender income as clerk in a store was
insufficient to meet the demands which u
fashionable life made upon him. So, to
meet his expenses, he robbed his employ
er's store, was convicted and sent to the
penitentiary for two years. His term
expired, he went where his past life
was unknown, studied theology,
and soon took orders, when
he went to st. Louis as rector of one of
the most fourishing parishes in that city.
Here he soon got into trouble, and moved
on to Kansas City. Discussions broke
out between him ana his parishioncrs
here also, at first affecting the manage
ment of the church, but in time charges
were made against him of gross immoral
itics, which, coming to the ears Of his
bishop, called for an investigation. An
ecclesiastical trial followed, which found
him guilty and recommended his deposit
ton from the ministry. The bishop was
reviewing the evidence preparatory 20
giving final decision when the cause of
the trouble cut short all proceedings of
the earthly tribunal by betaking himself
and his case to the tribunal of an infalli-
BILE Judge
The career of this man, so full OF tur-
MOL, so erratc, so hollow and insincere,
and ending in such death, is but one of
many. Others have acted the part that
he acted, others have paid the insepara-
Bile penalty that he has paid. Others will
follow him, and, treading in his steps
through life, will be led down to the same
death. For the wages Of sin must be
paid, and death is the final quittance.
