HOSPITALITY OF AMERICANS.

A Characteristic OF the Original Dweliers
on the Soil.
When we say that hospitality is es-
sentially savage virtue and not a
characteristic of high degree of civ
ilization, we shall expect to hear long
and loud expression of dissent, but
nevertheless we propose to offer some
strong facts in support of its assertion.
Hospitality is one of the browning
glories of the character of the south
ern people. 1t is one of their most adj
mirable traits but they possess it in
common with the American Indians
and the white people of the western
frontier We do not by any means pro-
pose to convey the idea that hospitality
is confined to any part of our country.
The American people as rule are hos
pitable everywhere. Hospitality is an
American characteristic, but we have
spoken particularly of the south be-
cause its open-handed and free-hearted
generosity to strangers has become
proverbiaL
Everyb body remembers the admirable
sentence Expressed by Roderick Dhu,
the gallant chief of clan of warlike
Scotch hagblanders, to the effect that:
T. Stranger is a holy name;
7 - shelter and rest and food and fire,
| In vain he never must require. s5
I This is the expression of brave and
/ barbarous people. 1t is precisely what
is experienced among the wild tribes OF
the Americans. If stranger, even in
time of war, can gain access to
an Indians lodge, he may be
sure of the best treatment its
inmates can give. Food, rest and
| shelter will be freely offered, and he
will never be assassinated there nc
matter how much he may be an enemy.
But when he shall have been fed and
rested and refreshed, if he be foe he
must go about his business, and when
he shall have gotten out of the pre-
cincts of the camp he must then be al
| his own risk Thou must keep thee
with thy sword" is the language OF
| Black Roderick.
But let us come back to our own peo
pie. When the first colonists landed
on these western shores they encoun;
tered the free and generous hospitality
of the savages. After the whites had
established themselves they adopted
the customs of the Indians in keeping
open house to strangers. custom
which, although it, has been more. Of
less married by civilization, still sur
wives as an American trait Of great dis
tinction and nobility which astonishel
all who are not accustomed to it The
popularity of American hospitality il
that it is freely given to every stranger
who claims it, and TO this extent it is |
relic of savagery. AS a rule our hos
pitality is not appreciated by the Eu
| ropeans who encounter it for the frs
time They do not understand how /
should be given to all corners, when ac
cording to their own usages such favorl
are reserved only for the specially
cho.-en person, for those who hav,
properly authenticated and established
claims
