ity may change slowly, and evolve in
years into something different from it's
beginning, but a considerable degree of
adherence to a conventional form Is
absolutely necessary. This principal
explains the costumes of Brother Jona-
than and of John Bull. The practice
of necessarily making pictures of
Brother Jonathan date only from the
time when tight trousers, with straps
passing under the hollow of the foot
to prevent them from working up,
were worn; when rolling coat collars
were in vogue, and bell-crowned, fuzzy
tall hats were in fashion. Such was
the cut of the original Jonathan's gar
ments, simply following the fashion Of
the time, and such the cut of them re-
mains with the slight variations. AS
to the starry and striped material Of
the garments, that is, of course, a
little satire on the undeniable Amcri-
can habit of vaunting the flag on all
occasions. Nothing in the whole range
of caricature was ever more pat and
proper than the dressing of Brother
jonathan IN the stars and stripes. The
patriotic American bourgeois has so
superstitious a regard for his flag that
he often values the symbol above the
thing sympolized; in fact, he some
times forgets the symbolizing thing
altogether. Brother Jonathan dressed
in anything but his starry and striped
garments would not be Jonathan at
all.
The John Bull picture seems to have
crystalized into its present shape as
the result of the skill of John Leech and
Cruikshank--or possibly some carica-
turst just before them. Johns cos
tune is practically that in which Mr..
Pickwick was clad. Indeed, John Bull
is Mr.. Pickwfck made a little more
canny and a little less amiable. The
| fiat, stiff hat and the other articles of
| dress now conventional with John
Bull were actually worn by Englishmen
early in the present century. OF course
the use of that term John Bull as a
personification of the English nation
goes back into the Eighteenth century,
| but the practice of cartooning was not
common and incessant enough then to
crystalize the form and costume. Punch
and John Leech did that. Once crystal
| lied, the type remains. which is proper
| enough. We could not spare any detail
| either of John Bull or Jonathan.
But the interesting fact remains that

themselves in just the way that the

"BROTHER JONATHAN.
Why This Typical American Is Repre-.
sented in Queer Dress.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
A correspondent wants the Listener
to tell, if he can, where the conven-
tional pictorial representation OF
Brother Jonathan. as a long-legged.
lank man, with angular face, came
from, and why it is adhered to. The
correspondent says he supposes it came
from Punch of London. but he wonders
| why American cartoonsts follow for
ever the mistaken English notion Of
Brother Jonathan, with only slight va
ration from year to year. He says
that the cony entional representation OF
the people of any race usually bears
some resemblance to the typical per-
| son of that race-John Rull, for in
stance, being much like an ordinary
stout Englshman-but that he has
never seen men like the conventional
| Brother Jonathan in the country
districts of New England, nor yet in
| Boston, New York or Washington. In
short, the question is. where did the
pictured Brother Jonathan come from
The correspondent makes no inquiry
about the term Brother Jonathan"
the assumed history of it is in every
| dictionary and handbook. But he
wants to know about the physical
| type of the man and about his singu-
lar costume.
The Listener is not prepared to give
an account of the first appearance of
the pictured Jonathan. However, the
evolution OF the figure seems to be nat
ural and explicable enough. Every
body knows that the typical American
is a leaner man than the typical Eng
lishman, with longer and thinner
face. There are lots OF tall anl lean
Englishmen and lots of short and fat
Yankees, but the effect of the Amerl-
can climate on the English type has
been. on the whole, elongating and de-
siccating. The first requisite Of car
| toon is that it shall be funny, and,
consequently characteristics are always
| exaggerated in cartoons. The artist
expresses the difference between Amer
leans and Englishmen by making the
American longer and thinner than he
need be and the Englishman shorter
and fatter AS the typical Englishman
is supposed to be pig-headed and ar
! rogant the pictured John Bulls face
| expresses these qualities in a high de-
| gree. As typical Yankee is supposed
| to be shrewd and calculating (though
kipling says he really isnD, 1t is nee
| essary TO exaggerate these qualities in
his carticatured face. So far so good.
But within these requirements there
is good deal of latitude. Some car
icaturists. no doubt animated by patrio-
tic motives, try 10 fiatter Brother Jona-
than and give him a noble and senti-
mental countenance. They only make
him and themselves ridiculous. They
take all the fun and all the point out
of the representation. Sometimes
Punch makes John Bull similarly end

rlotic fiattery always misses its mark

ment was made by which certain mill
tary concessions were allowed by Gem
eral Grant to the surrendering armies.
Beyond that there was no formal peace
treaty or agreement.
NO FIXED RULE.
The precedent of Franklin's inform-
al peace overtures suggests that II
Spain is unable to secure the mediation
of the European powers she might en-
list the service of some friend, who, in
an individual capacity, could take the
initiative, as Franklin did. That of
1912, suggests that formal peace over
lures are to be made through commits
sioners, duly instructed on the terms
they can grant. If the precedent of
the Mexican war were followed, then
one of the officials of SPANS foreign
office could come to Washington and
make personal overtures for peace.
The precedents show that there is no
fixed procedure under international
law, toward a restoration of peace, and
that the form adopted is dictated
mainly by expediency without undue
humiliation of the vanquished party.

Sunday School Institute.

Editors Intclligemcer The "a b annual
session of the Saluda Baptist Sunday
School Institute met with the First Creek
Church on Tuesday and Wednesday. 26th
9th OF April, 1898 Elder w. B. Haw-
kius preached the Introductory sermon.
The destitute then organized by enrolling
sho delegates. The following brethren
were elected to serve the ensuing term Of
two years: II. S. Shumate. President;
Dr.. J. A. Robinson, Ist Vice President;
G. O. Burriss, 2nd. and L. E. Campbell,
3rd, with T. IT. Wakefield Secretary and
Treasurer. All visiting brethren, whether
Baptist or not, we're invited to seats on the
floor by the President.
There had been very interesting pro-
gram previously arranged. and it was then
taken up. Although all the appointed
speakers were not there. we had no lack
for speaking. The whole atmosphere
seemed to respond to the opportunity Of
making speech. Bro. Plemmons, of Alb.
beville, was with US. who added much to
the occasion. Then, of course, Bro. Vass,
of the Orphanage, was there. We gave
him one hour fol the benefit of the Or
phanege After he finished talking about
it, we took up collection Of Sl3.l9 as a
gift, then subscription of $4400 to fur
nish the cooking department of the new
building that is nearing com pletion. This
collection, however, is not finished, as the
Secretary was requested to communicate
with ali the schools that we're not repre-
sented and ask for collection from all.
Not more than half of the schools were
represented. We want Sl00, 80 look out,
brethren, and be ready when your humble
servant writes to you about the matter.
But would it not be better not to wait, but
lust 60 ahead aud take collection of say

have him say anything about it. Remem

nine years, but have been in it long enough
to know how to conduct it, not only to
make money out of it, but to please the
people. have Elias Singleton to attend
to this department of my business alone,
he having nothing else to do but to look
after the Bishes-to keep them nicely
packed on ice, to dress them up and de-
liver to your order, day or night, for sup
per, break fast, dinner or midnight fry.
I order all the Fish of the season, and
keep nothin:. but the freshest goods.
Will say that the Fish Department is a
separate and distinct business from my
other business that Fish are charged on
separate book, and the bills are made
out separate and are payable Saturdays
and Mondays. SO please take particular
notice and see that no Fish are charged on
regular bills, and that there is nothing
but Fish on your Fish bills, and refuse to
pay any bill that is mixed with Beef and
Fish. I wish to say further, if you do
not pay for your Fish at the time they are
delivered, do not Go so unless you have
regular receipted bill.
am having fine success with my Cou-
pom Books-have placed one with nearly
every family in the City. and you can pay
