TEXAS will have its prize fight and
Georgia its bull fight. Law, order and
public sentiment in the respective COM
munities would appear to be against the
exhibitions, but the fact that they are
likely to be given would indicate that the
preponderance OF law, order and public
sentiment in Texas and Georgia is not
of the shade and strength that prevails In
Rhode Island.

WHAT I'VE ARE DOING.

American Manners and English Standards | GFrom Harpers Bazar.l
 l Much comment and criticism have
 been made of late upon American man. ners by an American journalist who
 has lived in London many years, and who apparently considers English GUS | toms those only which are worthy of consideration and adoption by us. He
 has just paid New York hurried visit
 of two weeks or more, and he has ob-
 served pefficially in that short time our utter lack of manners"
 The thing which seemed to shock him most was the habit which Is practised here of acknowledging a favor by leav- ing our cards on those persons to whom we are indebted. If we have dined with
 Mrs. Chose, we have always been taught that a dinner calr' was an im- perative duty, and that this call should be paid personally within a week. This, 1t seems. to our surprise, is entirely wrong, and not English" They, the swells in London, according to our cen sor, never make dinner calls, hence, they being willing to accept everything and to give nothing, we benighted in- dlviduals must follow suit. He makes no mention of the French, who always pay promptly their "call of digestion" to translate literally.
 Another social custom which he con- sidered important enough to criticise is the fact that many hostesses now make a courtesy. instead of shaking hands, on receiving their guests at formal functions.
 This is said to be an absurd practice. because English" people make this obeisance only to royalty. It is with us only an old Fashion revived. Children have been taught in this country for many years to make courtesies. It is a graceful and pretty salutation, and a trifie more ceremonious than indiscrim-B mate hand-shaking. At any rate, even if the English do not do this, why should not we? Must we always be and have no individuality of our own? Any social custom which with our neighbours comfort or happiness should not be practised, nor should one which simply implies selfishness in motive be tolerated, even

THE CUBAN REBELLToN.

1 General Martinez Campos, the man
 upon whom all eyes in Spain are fixed
 at the present time, and whose mili-
 tary glory won in the past will be eclipsed if he fails to smash the for 1 midable rebellion in Cuba, now of such
 threatening proportions, has had splendid military career up to date
 Entering the army at 21 he was made
 captain two years later. He served
 under Dulce at Aragon, and gained the
 cross of Charles III. at the battle of
 zaragoza, and after no less than six teen feats Of arms in Africa, between
 1859 and 1860, won the Cross of San Fernando and the rank of Lieutenant
 Colonel. He has already distinguished
 himself in Cuba by several very bril-
 liant services, for which the rank of Brigadier was conferred on him in 1870 by the Regent, the Duke de la Torre.
 For nine months, it is told of his valiant and enduring spirit, he never slept
 two nights in one place and was rarely out of the saddle. His next distin-
 gushing honor at home was his nomi- nation to the post of Military Governor of Gerona, He next achieved brilliant successes. in his campaign against the Carlists. For this he was promoted to be Captain General of Catalonia and
 4,. oP ,f4 . Kingdom. He introduced many consid- erable and humaniziRg improvements into the military system and made himself extremely popular. His rapid and ingenious feats in Olot against the forces of Savallo, realized with only $500 men struck fear into the hearts of the Carhsts, and thanks to his skill and indomitable spirit the civil war was finally extinguished. He took Sec de Urgel after a long siege and it has since given the title of Duke to his | son, he himself declining all titles, and l only accepting the honor for his family ! Thence he marched through the noun | rains of Navarro and Aragon, and left | Carlism futile and miserable tradi- | ton forever. After the Carlist war he l was raised to the rank of Captain-Gen- eral of the entire national army Q876), | and was sent a second time to quell a fresh Lisurrection in Cuba. He forced the rebels to subscribe to the peace of Zanpu, and added thereby new Iustre to his martial reputation.
 His conduct of this long and bloody campaign was marked by a humanity

no less extraordinary than his personal valor. In June, 1879, he was awarded the dignity of Senator as a personal right, and was named President of the Council and Minister of War, succeed ing Canovas del Castillo In the former post.
 Many other civic and military honors were showered upon this successful man. His character is Spanish in the fullest sense of the word-courteous and cold, audacious, indomitable, and despotic. Luck has ruled his adven- turous career, and nations as well as soldiers love a lucky commander. He has literally cut his way with his sword, guided by his star of fortune, and to- day rejoices in every cross and order of military merit that European lands have to offer-of Spain, Portugal, Aus tria, Germany, and France. Hitherto he has not failed in anything he has set himself to do, but it remains to be seen 1T fortune will still stand by him Tn his important expedition. He is not dead, so 1t is not yet for us to speak of him as the inevitably lucky com mander. The outbreak in Cuba to-day is more serious affair than the futile instructions he has twice quelled in that revolutionary atmosphere. It bears to Spain something of the importance of the mutiny war to England, and should Martinez Campos not prove equal to the occasion defeat would mean terrible disaster For, brilliant as his career has been in small enterprises and insignificant battles, it cannot be said to have reached anything like the high est point of military fame.

When" was the answer Ann gave.
 Now" said Tom.
 "All right" said Ann.
 | She ran to the house, put on her
 things and hastened back to the wag- on. Together they drove to the city and were married. Who the clergyman was who married them is the question which is now taxing the energies of Mrs. Mason's attorneys, When Ann got home her parents said that they were glad she had got married at last. Tom had no parents to care whether he got married or not. Mrs. Mason says that she lived quite happily with her husband until fall came again, when Odell once more put in an appearance. Mrs. Mason wanted some pocket mon- ey, and so she sold to him a heifer which her husband had given her short ly after marriage. Mason was away from home at the time, and when he re- turned he broke out in a jealous rage. He decided to sell his place and move to the city. He did so. He stayed in Rochester only short time, and then went to Syracuse. Jealousy kept him ugly. Odell showed up in Syracuse one day, and this was the final touch to his anger. He told his wife that she might go with Odell if she wanted to, but as for himself he was going to the devil.
 Instead, however he went to Montana and into the mines. Mrs. Mason earned her own living by her needle, and made a home for herself and baby, for there was a baby then. Very recently she learned that her husband was a man of wealth, living as a bachelor in Butte. Her friends advised her to bring suit for alimony and to establish her rights as the wife of the man. Upon this ad- wise she put the case into the hands of Attorney Charles Young of Syracuse, who was in Rochester yesterday look ing up data in the matter. Mr. Young would be very glad to learn the address of the clergyman who united in mar riage Ann Carlisle and Thomas Mason in April, 1875.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

The Democratic party being in @
 state of collapse, and its prospects for
 defeat in the coming presidential cam
 paign being very promising, a glance
 over the possible list of Republican can-
 didates for the presidency Is at this
 time a subject of special interest.
 The list of alleged candidates now in-
 cludes only Harrison, Reed, Mckinley and Allison. Besides these names that of Governor Morton of New York looms up considerably, although some of the western party organs are disposed to shy at him as a candidate. Hon. John
 Wanamaker is another possible candi- date, or as one has phrased 1t, another bargain candidate. Then, too, Cover nor Hastings of Pennsylvania is men, tioned-he of the fine figure, tall, com manding, affable and eloquent, the same who was listened to in New Haven at the Hyperion not long ago by New Ha- ven Republicans with great interest and satisfaction as he delivered a cam paign speech full of power and strong points. He is said to be held in reserve by the leading political powers of the Keystone state, as an available man in case the situation becomes ausp'c- ious for starting him in the race. Gen eral Joseph R. Hawley is man well qualified for the honor of running for the chief magistracy of the natian, and one whose name has been consr ic- uously before Republican national con ventions hitherto, but the Nutmeg state in size cuts no figure alongside of the Empire state or Ohio and various others. Ex-President Harrison is lying low, making no apparent effort for boom in his own behalf and has in his way the hostility of some of the big Re publican campaign managers. Then there is ex-Speal1er Reed. He is enjoy ing blissful rest from turmoil and strife way down in Maine" and is keeping very mum, and in this is show ing much discretion. Chauncey M. De- pew isn't saying word either. Me Kinley-wel1, his boom was pretty well seconded right here in Connecticut He is strong candidate, and is sound on the tariff question, yet perhaps, af- ter all some dark horse will appear and capture the nomination.

George Leon Walker of Hartford, per- haps the leading clergyman of his de-
 nomination in the state, would be picked out for a preacher anywhere, No one was ever so solemn as he looks. He would never be suspected under any circumstances, of cracking a joke. Yet his excellent address on the cap ture of Louisburg in 1745 abounded in humor, which kept his audience at the Colonial Wars court at Hartford, con- stantly laughing. Perhaps he capped the climax of fun when he related this: The joyful armory held a banquet to celebrate the victory. Chaplain Moody was to say grace. Remembering his Sunday prayers the officers felt little nervous as to the length of time they should be detained from their repast. The chaplain surprised and gratified them by praying: Good Lord, we have so much to thank Thee for that time will be too short and we must leave it to eternity. Bless our food and fellow ship on this joyous occasion, for the sake of Christ, our Lord, Amen"

if it is English. Good manners can
 easily be characterized as gentle and
 thoughtful deeds, and he or she who practises the golden rule will always be on the safe side, whether he or she fol- low any cut-and-dried fashion or not.
 There is no doubt about the fact that we are crude country, raw and young and with much to learn. But good breeding is born, not made, and there are plenty of ladies and gentlemen among us whose conduct is always stamped by a thoughtful consideration of others. The so-called rsociety set" is alike in every country. Manners and morals in 1t are not of the highest type. And 1t resolves itself into a. scramble where each individual is trying to get all she can, regardless of the methods which she is obliged to practice in so doing. We are certainly much studied and observed if one can judge by the Impressions of America" which every man or woman invariably indulges in after visiting the country. We are rankly and brutally told all our faults and we are also kindly and condescend- ingly instructed as to how to behave. Let Us hope, therefore, that, given suffi- cient time, we may profit by all this criticism, which, by-the-way, is mostly superficial.
