There are such heaps of Miss Jennie Cham
berlains in the United States that hardly any
one notices their points. Americans are
astounded at the effect they produce on Eng
lish noblemen when they come out at the
Riviera or in London. AS to tho etiquette
invented by lords chamberlain those flowers
from over the Atlantic arc in happy ignor-
ance. So they start topics in colioquies with
royal personages instead Of waiting for them
to be started, and when they find they please
they go ahead Sir or "madalne.n or
your royal highness," used as commas, are
in the conversation of ordinary persons,
Then the young and fair Americans neglect
no advantage which is derived from atten-
ton to personal appearance. They know
how to dress, and they grudge no money that
they can give to the best dentists. Being in
the habit of dancing from infancy, their
gestures are easy and not angular, and they
always talk distinctly, and, if sometime with
a slight twang, in an audible voice.
Our girls often humble or run on in CHR
ruping jabber that really is not speech. They,
too, often deal in set phrases which get soon
exhausted. l think when a British girl is
nice she's the incest of any; and many more
than there are could be charming if they
could only learn how to speak, and to move
about in an easy, graceful way. The Ameri-
can girl has neat features, a delicate skin and
a fine nervous system. But in the rest of the
organization nature has been wanting in
generosity. The western woman or girl is a
finer human being than the eastern. In the
southern states womanhood is nearest to per-
fection. Women there are reposeful-not
precisely amusing, but intelligent, sweet and
interesting in London Truth.

city's population Most of this increase is in the
town wards The XIXth Assembly District fnclud-
ing that part of the city lying west Of Eghth-ave
and extending from Fiftyfourthst to Spuyten Duyvi,
nearly nine miles, has nearly doubled its registry In
four years. The XXIId Assembly District, on the
East Side including a great part of the Nineteenth
Ward and what the village Of Yorkville, has In
creased list of registered voters than so per
cent since 1854 while the XXIIId District, embracing
nearly all OF Harlem, has the enormous total of
26,275 registered voters, gain of about two ffhs
in four years.
The large increase in the registry Is encouraging to
Republicans The Republican vote in the upper part
of the city is more than holding its own with the In
creased growth of population. II the XlXth and
XXIIId Districts divided up fairly, there would
be two and probably three Republican Assemblymen

The total registration in 1884 was o40,s07, and
this year 286,547, an increase of as 740. The total
vote in 1884 was 227, SAT, 'or loss OF 1890 as
compared with the registry. This IS about ID per
cent The same percentage of loss this year, and
experience has shown that this is fair estimate,
would give the total vote 271 ,265 for Presidential
electors and State officers, and about per cent less
for the combined municipal tickets. The Blaine
electors in 1884 received 00O93 votes and the Clevc
land electors 1885, 1877, plurality of 43,o64 for
the latter.
The loss of votes compared with the registry Is
due a variety OF causes, chief among which are abb

registry and election day. A careful analysis of the
