EnElishmen and Foreirpe1

Englishmen are apt to feel a contempt for
all foreigners and their ways. Lord Wolse-
ley says that among English soldiers the very
food of other nations is a common topic Of
ridicule An English general, about to attack
Cadiz, and knowing the prejudices of his
men, excited their enthusiasm in a novel
way:
You Englishmen," said he, addressing
them, who are fed upon beef, don't surely
mean to be beaten by a lot of Spaniards who
live on orangesi"
Even the hospitality of the grave is be-
grudged Frenchmen by English peasants, as
an anecdote told in a recent English book
illustrates.
At the time of the abortive attempt at
invading England made by the French In
1877, several of their soldiers prisoners of
war, were buried in Burton churchyard
Many time it has been suggested to the
present rector, by the peasants of the village,
when complaint was made of the crowded
condition Of the burial ground

The Title Nuisance in Germany.

And then the way mans titles are piled
on when addressing him is very amusing l
remember how this bothered my memory in
Altenberg years ago when my family was
there. AT semi-literary dinner was a doc
tor, who was assistant professor of rhetoric
He was always addressed as Herr DR.. Assist
ant Professor of Rhetoric Schneider; all the
titles being compounded into one word; or
Herr Colonel Master of the Dukes Stables
Won Reuter-. Woe to the guest who failed to
compound into one word all of these positions
when addressing Mr.. Reuter- or who left out
the ''vonl" made many mistakes and finally
settled the matter by telling them frankly
that was an unlettered Yankee They let
me get through with one title in addressing
any one, but think they very much pitied
my lack of good form. i do not wonder that
kings, princes and mobiles think themselves
made of finer material than that of common
men. The people by their adulations teach
them 80 to think. Socialists in Germany and
France rail at the privileged classes; Nihilists
In Russia slay them, but the great bulk of the
people show that they worship them, and

postscript mentioned the fact he had
been shot at one dark night while he
was going home from bis Office. he had
learned that man resembling Gray had
been seen in the town that day, but moth
ing further could be ascertained.
/ thought over the captains letter 4
good deal. 1t was true that Gray had
been punished by the captains orders,
and that he had looked very strangely
afterwards, but all that was in war
times. The man had uttered no threat,
30 far as anybody knew.
1t struck me as thought about it that
Ross was in bad fix If Gray should
lay his plans well and secretly shoot him,
sometime, no jury would convict him on
such evidence as We had. The old war
time episode would go for nothing.
With this outline of the inside history
of the case, the reader will understand
why the assassination Of Capt. Ross did
not surprise me.
Still, do not expect everybody to
jump to my conclusion that Private Gray
was the assassin. Possibly would have
some doubt about it myself if I had not
seen that deadly look when Gray passed
by the captain just after he had been re-
leased from his disgraceful punishment.
The newspaper statement concerning
the short, squareIy built stranger who
was seen in the town where Ross lived
just before the tragedy is enough for me.
l know that the stranger was Gray, and
l know that he killed the captain.
And yet all Of this is too light and airy
to rise to the dignity of even circumstan-
tial evidence. 1t would not justify an
arrest, to say nothing of an Indictment.
But never mind about the evidence
from legal standpoint l know that
Private Gray killed Capt. Ross!-Wallace

Tho Future Of Steam boating.

1t is not easy to predict what is to be
the future Of this great boating interest.
We have over twenty thousand miles Of
steam navigation, we have original and
enterprising boat builders, and an enor-
nous travelling public. We have had
in the past phenomenal fleet of steam
boats, particularly on our western rivers,
and yet the business has been greatly de-
pressed, and there are fewer boats afoat
today than twenty years ago. Moreover
and this is the most serious matter OF
al-our canals are being abandoned year
by year. While Europe spends millions
On canals and waterways, while France
is trying to make every little stream
navigable, and England is trying to turn
her interior cities into seaports, we per-
NIT our canals to fill up or foolishly give
them away to impecunious railroads for
roadbeds. Is it wise? Are we safe in
trusting all our freight business to rail-
road corporations? Today we can, if the
need come, send gunboats inland from
the Delaware to New York bay. II we
permit the railroads to destroy the bust
ness of the canal between our ship yards
and our navy yards, we may be sure
that in every European war Office the
fact OF our folly is carefully noted for
future reference. Once Great Britain
fought a great battle to destroy the
water route that connects the port of New
York with the back door Of New Eng
land. Saratoga was fought to destroy
a vital water route. Fortunately the
English generals who planned in London
thus to cut the country in two failed, and
yet today we are abandoning our canals
and see our great internal steam naviga-
ton system decay without thought of
the consequences.
On the other hand-for there is
brighter side to every picture-there is
disposition among the travelling public
to demand larger, finer, and safer boats
everywhere. We are being taught by
English tourists who visit US how to see
our own country. We may complacent-
ly talk Of our limited trains and all that
Every foreigner who visits us asks first
Of all for our steamboat routes, because
our lake, river, and sound boats are
known Of all the world.-Charles Der
nard in Century.
