PARTISAN ETIQUETTE.
How the Aristocracy Study Politeness and
Cover Up Vulgarity.

HOW the Aristocracy Study Politeness and
Cover Up vulgarity.
In this Partisan world of fashionable
formula, the first lesson in the science
OF life is that of etiquette. that the dead
things of vulgarity may be wrapped in
q shroud Of politeness, form and GUS
tom. The second lesson is given when
the perceptions are so developed as to
command and control the mystery OF
illusion, which is the superual art in
this sphinx-like domain of exclusive
customs and antiquated formulas. The
efforts of whole lifetime are devoted
to this study, which, once begun, never
ends The next lesson is in discretion,
or tact, which brings the ambitious
aspirant into a universal field of social
effort and action. And thus it is the
basic principles of fashionable life are
formed. which render the student of
human nature capable of graphing
with the most entangled forms OF eti-
quettc, tho most mystical methods Of
illusion, and the most subtle devices of
diplomatists. Yet in these three re-
quiremcnts the essence of each is woven
into the other in all their varied rules,
modes of application and hypocritical
dissimulatiOn. Mfa
Etiquette is the foundation OF policy,
and illusion is its framework; yet the
mystery OF illusion belongs more to the
female mind, for the physiological fas-
cination of this strange influence only
finds its proper clements in the endow-
ments OF feminine grace and brilliancy.
10 know how to entertain d dinner
party, how TO begin soiree musicale,
how to receive ones enemy with un-
compromising sang froid, how to render
a company OF antipathic individuals at
once comfortable in spirit and smooth
of tongue, belongs to tact and etiquette,
but the fine sense Of perception which
is required to comprehend the intricate
ways OF the Elusive world is an accom-.
plishment so rare that but few ever
master the art.-American Magazine.

ENGLISH AS SHE IS WROTE.


There was German poet who in English tried
to rhyme,
And with the dictionary big he wrestled oil the
time.
And though he chose with extra care the words
spelled all alike,
He spoiled his little poem for rhyme he
couldn't strike.
THE POEM (N
The girl I'll wed should always knead
With her fair hands the dough,
Because the stun called bakers bread
Is hard TO eat and tough.
She should have learned In early youth,
Home duties old and new,
And never pout her pretty mouth,
When helping mother sew.
Her temper she must sweetly mold.
SO nothing is n plague,
And not desert me II I should
Be stricken with the ague.

Beside her shall linger,
And hear the sweet pianos tone,
And her's-if she's singer.

AT the close OF the American civil
war there returned to one OF the New
England towns former citizen OF that
place who had been in arms against his
Government. Meeting prominent
gentleman on the street, the returned
citizen reached out his hand with a
word OF hearty greeting; but, to his
surprise, the gentleman gave him no
sign OF recognition. "You don't know
me-" he said. "Oh, yes dol" said tho
other looking him full in the face. and
then passing him by. Aside from any
question OF propriety In the Case. that
incident illustrates the truth that many
trouble which we ascribe to our being
misunderstood arises from the fact that
we are very well understood. PAiladek

THE BETTER srATEsarANsHIP.

Americans are boastful Of their gov
eminent and administrative method DIS
over those OF Great Britain; but ur
English friends, on many occasions,
prove their statesm anship is far ahead
OF ours. This is especially the case in
the management OF financial affairs. A
little while ago it was noted in the
cablegrams that inasmuch as the British
revenue was in excess of the require
ments of the government there would
be reduction in the income tax. The
British surplus last year was $1,000
600, part of which was the result of
economy. The public debt
was reduced over $1,000, 600
as much as financial wisdom
deened 1t proper to reduce it. The
gross expenditure, including the sum
applied to the reduction of the debt,
was 1887 ,135, 900. and the gross revenue
$347, 945 600, leaving larger surplus
than has occurred for fifteen years. The
government at once proposed to reduce
the taxes. If it had not made this pro-
position the ministry would soon have
gone out of power, for the people over
there have an idea that it is not good
thing for their money to be locked up
in the government vaults. where
it cannot be used; they prefer it
in their own pockets. Nor have they
vet been brought to believe that the
road to national prosperity is through
the excessive taxation of the people in
order that the government may hoard
cash.

craftsmanship rules, and it will hardly

be claimed that it is preferable to the
British variety. For more than twenty
years past there has been annually &C
culated in the Uni,ed States Treasury,
through excessive taxation, a large sur
plus, and this in spite of most
extravaganza appropriations, and a
reckless expenditure of the pub
lie money. Last year, after
carrying nearly SIS, 100000 to the sink
ing fund. the government redeemed
over $50 900, goo of the unmatuIed debt,
going into the market and paying
heavy premium for its own bonds. The
Secretary of the Treasury estimates
that the surplus this year, after meeting
all the expenses of government, includ-
ing q pension roll which astoni hes the
world by its magnitude ard generosity,
will be not less thsn $l55, 100000. This
all comes from excessive and unneces-
sary taxation, and instead of reducing
the taxes. one of the great parties OF
the country is lighting the reduction
with the energy of desperation, and
both parties have just united in the
passage of bill for the distribution OF
the surplus, among the bondholders
in the shape of premiums on those OBJ
legations not yet done.
The British Craftsmanship is the bet
ter, for it takes into consideration the
people who pay the money to govern
ment, and makes their taxes as light as
the economical administration of gov
eminent will permit.

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

On Thursday Mr.. Phelps, the Ameri-
can Minister at the court of st. James,
sailed for home. It is given ont
that he comes on visit;
it is also intimated that he
will not return TO his post, but will re-
sign the Office. This latter intimation
is in connection with rumor that he
is Md because the fisheries treaty was
negotiated in Washington, and not
through him. He felt that it was the
place of the American minister to settle
disputes and arrange terms with the
country to which he was accredited,
and when Secretary Bayard ignored
him and passing over his head called
the fisheries commission to Wash
ington where he could personally
attend to the matter, Mr.. Phelps
became indignant and asked for four
months leave OF absence, during which
period he will make up his mind as to
whether he will return to England and
be q figure head, or remain at home a
private citizen.
This circumstance again emphasizes
the foolishness of continuing our diplo-
matic service abroad. The United
States have no more use for foreign rep-
resentatives ether than resident con
suls and commercial agents in the
countries visited by American travellers
or with which Americans do
business, than they have for anything
else which they don't require. Our
ministers can do nothing, even if any
thing is to be done. If the matter is
important, it must be attended to in
Washington, and trifiing affairs have to
be referred 10 the Secretary of State,
who deals directly with the foreign
government, the minister being in the
way rather than anything else. Nothing
has arisen which could have required
the services of Mr.. Phelps, except the
fishery dispute, and when that came up
he was not permitted to act in it.
The plain truth is, our foreign repre-
sentatives are neither more nor less
than of1cials.without functions; their
duties are simply and solely social; they
are paid big salaries, with the under
standing that they will spend what the
government gives them, and as much
more from their private purses in cut
ting social swells snd putting on style.
1t will be saving of money, and more
consistent with republican simplicity
and ideas of government, to recall all
our ministers and abolish the system.

N0T ON ARSENAL HILL.

The enterprise and liberality OF the
City Council in adopting resolution
authorizing the Mayor TO tender to the
government certain lands upon which
TO erect buildings, are commemorate,
but the wisdom OF making the tender OF
the land designated is an entirely diff
fereat thing, and the acceptance OF the
block by the nation would be most IN
fortunate for the city. We don't IN
derstand it that government builds in
town merely for the sake of spending
money there, nor with the view to
the ornamentation Of the place. When
it eiects q building, it does SO
for the accommodation Of its own
business and the convenience q
the people. If our understanding
is correct, will somebedy please tell US
why the government should erect a
building on Arsenal HIP The site is
an elegant one-for show purposes. The
building could be seen from all over the
valley, and would bemOstattracti7e-to
the eye. Il would loom to better ad-
vantage in these respects, however, if it
were placed on Ensign Peak.
Naturally and necessarily the govern
nent building will contain the govern
ment offices, including the court rooms,
postofics, Executive office, marshars
and clerks offices, and so on. For
these Wilt be erected, and not as a
monument to the asininity of the gov
eminent. How would the people like
it if the postoffice were taken to Ar
senal Hill? The removal might not
create riot, but would come very near
to it. Rather than such thing should
occur the people would erect building
and give it to the government for a
postofice. How would the lawyers,
the Jurors, the witnesses and the liti-
gents enjoy going on a mountain out of
town to get to the court house?
Is there anybody who has any
business with any government Office
VINO Will say that the Arsenal
block is a proper site for the location
Of the building which the city is petit
tionirg the nation to erect2 The loca-
ton is convenient to little handful of
people-perhaps one in two hundred
and fifty of the City's residents; even
to people living within twenty rods OF
the square, the site will not be conven-
lent.
Whenever government shall erect q
building in Salt Lake let US hope that
it will select site as nearly as may be
in the center of the city. The building
Ought not to be farther north |
than South Temple nor farther
south than Third South, nor east of
First East, nor west of West Temple or
First West. In the district thus marked |
it would be reasonably convenient for
the people; outside that district it would |
be most announcement TO the great |
majority. If the government shall per |
sist in the city giving it the ground, or |
if the gift of lot will be any induce
ment to the government to erect the !
building, The corporation can afford to |
bay the land, and will cheerfully do it. |
The Arsenal block can be sold for more
than will be required to pay for ali the
land the government will build upon.

TIE American Horticultural Soci-
ETY. will hold three-days' session at
Riverside on the 9TH, Sth and 9th OF
February next. At the same time a
fair will be held for the exhibition
of the citrus fruits OF South
ern California. When the River
side Board OF Trade first dis
cussed the proposition to hold a
citrus fair simultaneously with the
meeting of the American Horticul-
tural Society, it was believed that
some three or four hundred visitors,
at the most, would attend from a dis
tance. But it is now believed that the
number will reach atleast a thousand.
The question now with the Riverside
people is to secure accommodations
for the large crowd OF visitors they
expect. These facts assure the sue
cess OF the fair, and we hope
that the leading citrus growers OF
Los Angeles will take prompt steps
to have our best orange orchards rep
resented in the exhibition. The gem
tlemen composing the American Hor-
ticultural society are among the
most distinguished fruit-growers OF
the Eastern States, and they will
carry back from this fair impressions
of our citrus products that will go far
to give eclat to our section.

Tribute to the Late ID. vi. Berry.
EDITOR HERALD: The copy of your
paper containing the sad news of the
death of Mr.. D. M. Berry has just
reached me. On the death of Mr..
Berry. not only host of personal
friends, but the whole of Southern
California loses benefactor, who can
ill be spared. From 1874 to the time
Of his death no one man has been
more closely identified with the en-
terprises that have made Southern
California famous than Mr.. Berry.
The articles from his pen, always
vigorous, instructive and interesting,
have been widely quoted in Eastern
journals. The founding of Pasadena
is due to his energy and indomitable
pluck, and it is q worthy monument
to the organizing ability that marked
the prime of his life. A liberal edu-
cation, and habits of close study
made him versatile in his attain
ments. He was a mathematician OF
no mean ability, and in his younger
days was famous among his peers for
his originality in processes Of demon
stration. The few chapters of an
unfinished treatise on "Differential
Calculus" won for him the esteem OF
such men as Pierce and Trautwine.
He was an excellent authority on
minerals, especially those of Calilor-
MIA. His paper on the petroleum and
!asphaltum deposits of Southern Cali
fornia written for California del Sur,
now in press will always be stan
dard work on the subject.

REPRESENT TIoNs sent to Washing
ton by the Secretary OF our Board OF
Trade in reference to a larger appro-
priation for the purpose of erecting in
this city a Government building,
seems to have been largely endowed
with the qualities of that vaulting am
bition which Shakespeare proves al
ways comes to SO disastrous a
fate. As result Of these rep
resentations, the matter is at
total standstill. Mr.. Fairchilds has
no discretion to enlarge the amount
set apart for this purpose. To get a
new bill through Congress is slow,
laborious and uncertain proposition.
The sum now remaining to our credit
is $125, 900. That will put up
a very snug block and give
us at least ample postal
facilities. But it is we'll known that
Government work always is planned
larger than the appropriation. Let
the work 60 on with all possible dis
patch, meantime let our Board of
Trade proceed with getting bill in
troduced calling for more funds for
this purpose. By the time the present
amount to onr credit is exhausted the
new appropriation may be available.
