PULvERIzING THE CORRESPONDENT.
This fault-nnding correspondent Is New
Yorker, and New Workers are intensely localistic
To them Manhattan Island Is the world, and the
universe Is bounded by the North River, East
River, Fulton Ferry and the aqueduct. He makes
tne mistake OF setting up the New York standard
ci,@ate and Sr9S, Lor an creation, Oh
stance and surrounding. He might as well set up
an iceberg as the model for PAIN tree or polar
peacock. The light, funy muslins and broad
orimmed gypsy hats, with their bright ribbons
and plumes, are as appropriate among the orange
groves and palmettOeS as the tatlOr-made Cloth
suits are on Filth avenue or under the elmS ana
NAPLES Of Central PARK. The furs which are proper
monstroslt1es In Florida or Louisiana, and Mad1-
son Square dude would be far funnier on a bucktng
Dronoho at wyoming or New Mexico roundup
Than the widest type OF cowboy could ever be on
'.Let the blasphemer who decries the gay tintings
OF Southern girls dresses as the tawdry gaudiness
or the barbaric negress demand that the hum
ming birds parrots, oreoles and macaws OF South
ern forests shall strip on their gorgeous pumage
and array themselves in the SOmber feathers or
Northern thrushes, catblrds ana barn owls. Let
him call on the magnolias, Grape myrtles and
Jessamines 10 lay aside their dazzling bloom and
perfume and don the SOBER garO OF the oak and
hemlock. Let him take TO task the Almighty
Artist who blended all the cOlOrs OF heaven and
earth In the lustrouS prfsmat1c arch to which all
human eyes turn as the emblem OF peace and the
perfection OF beauty. Let hum ind Iault with the
Hand that plants its many -hued fires in the opals
and the diamonds heart, and that even now decks
the forests or the Northern hill and mountain
sides with all the gorgeousneSS OF colOrtng that
natures Infinite paint-pots can supply.
. ELEMENTS OF TRUE PATRIOTISM.
"When contemplate the rOttenness and corrup-
ton OF our politics, the venaity OF our legisla-
lures and boards OF imported aldermen, the SIAN
der and blackguardism OF our presidential cam
palgnS, the falSehOOd and ignorance OF our sham
statesmen whom The mob set up as leaders and
representative Americans the pillages by law
that our people not only endure but seem to enjoy,
the huInbug and universal cnicanery In legislative,
executive, and judicial halls am often tempted
10 forSWear America and make my home In some
other country. One thing keeps me true to my
TO 1 might swap countries, but where could
md counLryw0men equal to my own? have
wandered In many lands and have seen the women
or every nation beneath the sun; but nowhere
nave i ever found any comparable to our
own glorious daughters OF Columbia They
brightest, sweetest and best In the feminine char.
acLer OF all other races. l admire and love my ralr
countrywomen, North and South, East and West.
Beauty and womanh0Od are bounded, thank GOO,
by no sectional lines. Northern and southern,
blonde and brunette, black eyes and brown eyes
and blue, raven locks and golden treSses, do
homage 10 them all. In Murry Hill palaces or far
western cabin, In royal robes or humble home
spun amid DakOtan snOwdrifts or Flor1dian
orange groves every American woman Is q queen.

pieases, ana when she pleases herself she always
