TENDER AND TRUE.

We reproduce entire, says the New
Orleans Delta, the following editorial
from the New York World of May %.
1t is honorable alike to the head and
heart of tho man who wrote it, and it
touches chord in the breast of every
Southern man. 1t portrays the feel
ling with which Confederate flags are
carried in the South, and deserves to
be produced in every Journal in this
section
CONFEDERATE FLAGS.
There is, of course, no sense and no sim
cerity in the c!amor which certain persons
are raising for political effect touching
the proposed display Of Confederate flags
at Richmond on the day of the Lee statue
Inauguration. The flags are the most
natural and appropriate emble,ns for that
occasion, and their display can be no
more offensive to any reasonable mind
than is the erection of the statne itself.
The statue is a permanent testimonial of
Southern admiration for the character Of
Robert E. Lee; the display of flags is a
temporary incident, appropriate to the
occasion. There is none but sentiment
tai significance in that flag now. 1t is a
conquered banner, representing memo
nv which has no present or future, bnt re-
lates whollysto a dead and buried pasta
memory as harmless and as void OF Of
Tense now as the grass grown breast
works behind which the flag once hoated
with meaning and purpose.
The clamor of protest is ridiculous and
worse than that. 1t is as absurd as
would be English objection to the Scot
fish nse of the thistle as Il symbol, or to
the playing Of "Charlie Over the Water"
on the bagpipes at an Edinburgh festival.
1t is worse than ridiculous, because it is
intended and calculated to stir up bad
blood and kindle sectional ill-feeling for
selfish partisan and unpatriOtic purposes.
The civil war is mere history now Its
issues are not only dead but buried be-
! You'd resurrection The men who fought
it on the Southern side are as loyal citi-
Zens of the Union now as any. There is
not only no touch of rebellion in their
minds, but no regret that the union was
not destroyed in the struggle. They and
their sons will march under the American
flag on the very day of the statues inau-
guration, knowing no other banner as
theirs. They will exhibit their battered
battle-fags as emblems OF the courage
and devotion shown on the Southern side
during the war-a courage and devotion
honorable to the American name and
ready to do self-sacriiice in behalf of our
common country.
These meu marched at Grants funeral
reverentlya and loyalty. They are not
manifesting hostility or disloyalty now.
They are putting up a monument over
their dead that is all.

Prepare for the Worst.

Summer comes as very pleasant change

Its blue skies, its balmy breezes, its bright

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN GIRLS

Contrasting English and American
girls, w. W. Story thus writes in "Con-
versations in Stndio:" Take an
English girl and put her beside an
American girl whose ancestry is pure
English and there is remarkable diff
ference between them in shape, nature
and color. The American, as q rale,
is slenderer, fairer and slighter-hmbed,
thinner-featured and more vivacious
and excited in manner. The Ennlish
girl is fuller, rosie, IN color, heavier in
bnild and calmer. The voice of the
American is thin and high, that of the
English girl is rich end low. But
where you will find the greater physl'
cal difference is in the feet and bands.
The Americans foot is small, thin,
high arched and tendonous in the an
k1e. The English girls plump, flat
and full at the ankle. There is the
same difference in the hands. Take a
cast from an English and American
foot, and any one can distinguish them
with half an eye. All the attach
ments, as they are called, are longer
and more tendonous in the American
than in the English. There is some
thing charming in the one as Of rose,
and in the other of lily. Where the
English have the advantage over the
American is in their voices and into
nations. An English woman's voice
is a pleasure to hear-so sweet and
low aud pleasant in its modulations-
while the Americans whine with q
high pitched voice. The latter sing
better than the English, because the
English never can fully utter their
voice and throw it ont. Certainly the
American girls are sometimes very
handsome, and they generally have a
refinement of look and feature, if not
of manner. In their ways, too, there
is certain wild wilIfalness and indie
pendence which, when it does not 60
too far, as it frequently does, is very
attractive"
