IT ALL DEPENDS.

Although the universal brotherhood of man lies avowedly in the background of the socialistic dream, no jealous Uto- plan has ever yet ventured to apply the same idea to the opposite sex. The bond of fellowship. which exists between man and man, simply by virtue of a common sex. is entirely absent between woman and woman. It is in fact, replaced by a
 fundamental antagonism, which may arise from woman's incapicity for inn personal feeling. or abstract emotion, be- cause she fights. either for her own hand and rarely for the welfare of her sex at large.
 This fact was prominently illustrated to the full satisfaction of the most dubious. a short while since. It was at a swell reception in this city during the past week. Some of the gorgeous gowns had & large surplus trailing on the floor. The rooms were crowded with flair women and brave men" while good cheer reign ed supreme.
 She was radiant in stunning" cos- tune and seemed on good terms with the whole universe. But there, was a sudden transformation. The careless step of an erring sister was planted upon her trailing skirt. She spoke not a word. but the smile left her beaminR face as she darted a backward look that spoke more eloduently than an oath from Juliets nurse, or one of the daring and unpublished explosives from Dame Quickly.
 The incident closed in a few seconds and would possibly have passed into oblivion, but for another foot. that lurked in the immediate vicinity of that train This foot wore more aggressive demea- nor, larger anatomy and more ruth

Madame de Stael very humorously refers to the poet Coleridge, as great in mono- logue. but has no idea of dialogue
 It has been very truly said that the perfection of conversation is not to play a regular sonata, but, like the eolian harp, to await the inspiration of the passing breeze. The wits and takers of the past, while we may not grumble at the copiousness of their brilliant con- versations, were largely given to vanity and egotism. while their wit was of interest sharpened with cruel sarcasm and almost devoid of kindliness. There are few great men of such unrivalled monologue as Coleridge, whom the Lon don innkeeper offered free quarters, if he would only stay and talk" It is said of Rogers that his sarcasm often cut like Toledo blade, and if Diderot, that he would talk until his friends were physically exhausted.
 It is emphatically unjust to numberless brilliant opponents of conversational charms, in the present literary and social world, to declare that it is becoming a lost art. Where can be found a more renowned. eloquent and enthusiastic talker than Max O'Rel2 The smart and pungent things that (he can say, his wealth of anecdote, coup led with his won derful mental possessions, are not ex- CeSOe0 Uy any OI luo HRnIS or past generations. And there is Chauncy Depew, with his rich. cultured mind and extraordinary memory. who has no recog- nized peer as brilliant and enthusiastic conversationalist. But, it is useless to give individual examples of an art that is so nearly universal nowadays, that every literary center can easily point to some distinguished and international ex- ponent of the captivating art of con versation. The reason Is plain; the world is more enlightened; great things have been developed; knowledge is broader and more quickly disseminated and we are better posted and more intelligently comprehend. nearly every feature of civil lization and institutions than our an- cestors of past generations. We have far more to talk about and do it, with infinitely more conservatism. than the small coteries of wits, who monopolized the conversations qf the past. in the polite circles of society and literature.

V "
 By Andrew James Miller)
 In these days-erroneously declared degenerate-when long jeremiads are in- dulged by pessimists. over the decay of everything. it is common to hear laments over the deterioration of conversation. It is asserted, with great firmness, that the true art of conversation has rapidly degenerated, as result of our intense ,utilitarianism, in comparison with the past It is even declared that a won- derful conversationalist, like Dr. John son, would be- an impossible figure in the literary world of today.
 There is little doubt that some of the great wits and conversationalists of the past have never been excelled. but there is difference in the quality and interest of their talks. There is an old Spanish proverb, which says: Two great takers will not travel far together" This would be applicable to Macauley. whose conversation Greville describes as 'inexhaustible, always amusing and in- structive about everybody and every thing. but overwhelming to every one else" This was eminently true of Robert Toombs, the brilliant Georgia statesman, who was renowned for his polished sarcasm and wealth of anecdote and .reminiscence. Thomas Carlyle had the same fault. At dinner party. where Darwin. Babbage and Lyell, who all liked to talk, was Carlyle, who silenced them all with his interminable flow of talk. After dinner" says Mir. Darwin, .fBabbage in his grimmest man. ner, thanked Carlyle for his very inter esting lecture on silence" We are also told of Victor Cousin, the French philo- sopher that he could talk until nothing remained of the candles but their wicks." :"

HIS WAY AND HERS.

The story goes that a rising young politician proposed to his sweetheart in the following novel manper:
 My Dear Miss--I hereby announce myself a candidate for your hand and shall use all fair and honorable means to secure the nomination. I know that there are many candidates in the field and hesitate before interesting the race, but l am in to stay. My view on love and matrmony have often been express ed in your presence and need not be repeated here.
 You know I favor the gold standard of love--and a maintenance of that stan- dard after marriage. If you decide to confer upon me the honor seek, please fix date for a caucus with your mother. I have no objection to her acting as tenn porary chairman of the permanent or ganization Should the result of the caucus prove satisfactory. we can hold the primaries and select the date and place of convention.
 I have never believed in long cam paign, so if you decide to honor me will ask you to make the convention date as early as possible Devotedly yours"
 The following telegram answered 1t: Caucus unnecessary. Nomination unan- imous. Come at once and fix date of ratification
