form" Prompted by his feminine sur
roundings, he endeavors to reduce his
American wife to the level of the aver
age Englishwoman--to break her into
British matrimonial happiness and to
eradicate her faults. This process of
education invariably results either in
breaking the spirit of La belle Ameri-
caine or else in estranging her from her
husband, and in SCATTERING the mostly
superficial affection which she bestowed
on him in the first place.
For l doubt that American girls,
shrewd, bright and clever as they are,
can ever experience what is called true
and heartfelt love for the foreign suitors
upon whom they bestow their hands. In
almost every case of international mar
riage on record the European bridegroom
has been dollar hunter. Take for in
stance the Dukes of Marlborough, of
Manchester and of Decazes, the Princes
of Hatzfeldt and of Colonna, Lord Ar
thur Butler and two or three hundred
more. Their blazons all required regild-
ing, and while they considered them
selves lucky in getting beauty along
WIFI Wcdllu, ~ was buo ldIlcT
than the former that they were in search
of. To men such as these it is impossi-
BILE that woman-the incarnation of the
word love-can accord that full need of
esteem that is indispensable to true love.
Their marriage is therefore handicapped
from the very outset, and under these
circumstances, added to those above de-
scribed, it is not surprising that the
American wife ends by feeling that she
has made a cruel mistake, that the rank
and title for which she bartered away
her heart, her beauty and her dollars
are far too dearly bought, being at the
best but grudgingly accorded, and that
she would have been in every way far
happier and better off if she had married
among her own kith and kin.

When the ..Hunchback" Was First Given

WHEN tHt hunCHDhCh w as iEst oiNchs
When Sheridan Knowles offered Mr..
Charles Kemble the "Hunchback" for
Covent Garden theater it was immedi-
ately accepted. Fannie Kemble, then
in her twentieth year, has recorded her
first impressions of the comedy. CATER
my riding lesson" she writes, II went
and sat in the library to hear Sheridan
Knowles play of the 'Hunchback.' He
read it himself to us. A real play, with
real characters, individuals, human be-
ings. 1t is good deal after the fashion
of our old playwrights, and does not dis
grace its models. / was delighted with

She was cast for Julia, her representa-

knowledged far Qutstripped his most
sanguine hopes. The author enacted
the part of Master Walter The play
was produced on April 5, 1882. The
crowded house which assembled to wit

its appreciation, and during the latter
scenes between Julia, Clifford and Mas

When the curtain fell, The Morning
Chronicle states, "the applause was tu-
multuous. and a general call was made
for Knowles He was confused by the
novelty of his situation, and exclaimed
that, conscious of his own unworthi-

ACCIDENT CLASSIFICATION.

4 nrominent accident insurance company has
tboupbtfully sent us a few pounds of its literature
for perusal during the hot weather. We learn
from this that such accidents as sprains,
broken bones, cuts, gun-shot wounds, mad-dog
bites burns drowning, lightning stroke and so
forth are insured against; and to this we doubt
not may be added being blown up by subway,

and many others. Our practical knowledge Of
accident insurance US somewhat limited but 1t
seems to us that grave injustice is done TO many
people in the classification of the risks in the
tables before US
Tho proposed subjects Appeal to be divided into
three classes, the preferred class, the ordinary
class and the medium class, paying respectively
SIS. 81 80, and 81 for the same amount of in
snrancc. CHANGING at the preferred class, which
is supposed to be the nearest free from accidents,
what do we find among others, but editors and
bool:-agents Now this is simply absurd. We
can only account for it on the suppostion that
il is a Joke on the part of the insurance folks.
Where do we find an existence more fraught
with danger than the booll-agents3 The book
agent takes his life in his hands indeed he
does worse than that, he takes his life in one
hand and his book in the other and goes forth
into q world made of slamming doors. cross
dogs and heavy boots. There is little
safety for him anywhere. Last April
a dispatch from the Indian Territory told Of the
finding of the bodies of two men in the Cherokee
country with placard attached to them, on which
the untutored savages had scrawled these two
words: Book agents" And the righteousness
Of placing book agents in the preferred class IS
heightened 10y the contrast with the editors. EdI-
tors of course, belong in this class. Indeed, we
are not certain that they should not be placed in
a elias, by themselves and insured for 81 There
are few accidents apt TO happen TO an editor.
The lightning may strike him, but that is about
the only danger to which he is exposed; and
sometimes the lightning is baflled. True. editors
often die young so do the good nor do editors usu-
ally live to extreme old age, their life of deep and
penetrating thought and general extreme mental en-
ertion not being conductive TO long life But they
are in no way exposed to accidents, while the life
of the bool-agent may he likened only to that Of
the soldier in time of war. Still the prepostcrous
accident insurance people place the editor, with
his calm, intellectual life, in the same class MS
the book-aqent with his existence of strife. danger
and adventure.
After this, we are not surprised at any
thing we find in the classification. Plumbers,
in no danger from any thing except
ennui and perhaps indigestion brought on
by eating pie furnished by the kitchen
girl, are placed in the ordinary class, whereas
they should be ranked at least with editors for
freedom from accidents But we cannot further

SOOTHING TILE HHAMR[ES.

Well-mcant and aimed as it is. the new
Massachusetts law against the old offence OF
"l,bbying'' has two weak points. 1t assumes
like alf other acts of the various States dealing
with this obnoxious disease, the deadly para
site of Legislatures, that the main offence con-
sists in Corruptly soliciting votes in and about
the halls of legislation, which is by no means
the case. for the worst offenders are too shIeWd
to ply their trade so publicly, and, it may be
added. so uSeleSSly. Have they not, indeed, &C.
cupied seats of their own, as the chosen repre-
sentatives of the people, on the very floor OF
the House To doubt this is to have forgotten
the story Of MatteSOn and the Forty Thieves"
The second defect is that the enforcement OF
the law follows the prevailing bad habit OF
relying on the criminal court, where the whole
burden of proof is necessarily on the accuser'
and where every influence that makes these
offences possible can be and will be easily
secretly and successfully arayed to screen or
protect the guilty
TO make such a statute even approximately
effective against the more serious OF these evils
not only should the parliamentary bar as 1t
might be called when once purged of It's OBJ

C1NAD1 IND RECIPROCITY.

The Canadian maritime Provinces are be-
ginning to feel the pressure of the Reciprocity
policy. When the treaty with Spain goes into
effect il will create a discrimination against
fish, -four, potatoes beans, peas, lumber and
coal shipped from st. John and Halifax to Cuba
and Porto Rico. The Dominion Government
has recently established subsidized steamship
lines between those ports and the Spanish West
indies, and large and increasing trade has
been developed. The competing produce from
the United States is to be admitted in n short
time either TO free market or under reduced
schedules of import duties. The Canadian
trade is menaccd with destruction. With heavy
duties imposed upon exports of natural products
from the Dominion, the subsidized line of
steamers will soon have no freight to carry
to Cuba and Porto Rico.
The Board of Trade at Halifax has already
impOrtuned the Dominion Government to bring
pressure TO bear upon Lord Salisbury to insist
upon having Canadian products admitted into
Cuban ports under the "most favored nation
clause" ON equal terms with American exports

the camp has well fulfilled its object, and the
State of New York has full interest on the

that it could easily be made better still if Con-
gress would make a large appropriation for free
delivery service The controlling principle IN
the postal arrangements in this city is the
greatest good of the greatest number and it
cannot be reasonably expected that the COL
