, Americanized. though the number OF those
whose grandparents and great grandparents
were born in the United States is compare
| lively small. and as the nation grows the
influx of foreigners exerts no influence upon
the national character.
Newspapers and public schools are the
factors which stamp and mold the coming
generation.
The average American learns only the
history Of his own country: he IS absolutely
ignorant OF the history Of classical Greece
or the Roman Republic, and naturally
forms the impression that his country Is
the only one of any Importance
He Is not taught religion or even told
about the existence of the Bible In the pub
lie schools, and naturally his ideas OF ethics
and morals must be different from ours.
His inclination TO make light OF and con-
done the widespread corruption which in
dlsputably exists in all public affairs in
the United States may be traced back to
this lack OF early moral training.
He thinks differently of money and the
means of acquiring wealth than We do.
The position OF woman in America Is free.
and more independent in every respect than
here.
The principles of education OF children
are more lax than in European countries.
The American laborer and farmer cannot
compare with ours.
In the higher classes Of society a new
specific American type has appeared which
outwardly, at least, has some resemblance
to what We call gentleman but the lower
origin quite often Is visible through the
superficial varnish, and this grows more
pronounced the further you so West.
II is impossible to describe the character
of the American in few words: 1t is just
as complicated as the climate and surface
OF his country.
The typical American temperament is san
guine. but in different way from the
French.
The Frenchman Is e1citable and full Of
fire. but he Is born pessmist; the Yankee
is always optimistic; he Is at the same
time enthusiastic and extremely active.
He is exceedingly patient under the most
trying circumstances and will stand moro
abuse from the Government and authorities
than the most humble Russian, but at the
same time he is dangerous and his patience
may unexpectedly give way to extreme
violence. which carries away every obstruc-
ton.
He Is probably well aware OF the short
cornings of his Government and country,
but his vanity forbids him to listen to any
criticism from an outsider.
He possesses a rich vein Of huuor. which
pervades everywhere and everything. from
newspapers to political speeches.
All the men who have risen to national
prominence have possessed it.
American humor Is less refined and deep
than the English Or German; II has no
touch OF the pathetic which fills the eye
with tears while the lips are smiling. 1t
has a tendency to exaggerate, which in
Mark Twain and the artist Charles Dana
Gibson has reached its highest perfection

place Monday evening. This farewell
performance will conclude the most
notable season of comic opera ever en-
joyed by any Texas city. During its
six weeks stay in Houston, the Olym-
pia Opera company playing to uni
formally large and well pleased audi
ences nightly, has presented ten
operas with the fullest accessories of
staging and costuming. The company
leaves for Dallas Tuesday morning,
leaving behind it the unique record of
having scored the first and only uc-
cess ever credited to Houston's giant
Northumberland Daily Post, July
II, 1901.
1t is the opinion of many that a
thing will improve with age. We will
have the pleasure of judging for our
selves Friday and Saturday evenings
when the far famed Olympia Opera
company makes its appearance at Co
lombo hall.

Pretty, winsome Lottle Kendall, of
the Olympia Opera company, and of
whom throughout the south and west
has acclaimed the beauty of the sea
son, will appear in the company's pro-
duction of "Said Pasha," which is to
take place at the Colombo opera house
Friday evening. This little lady will
doubtless delight the eyes of an andi-
ence that tests the capacity of Il To-
cal play house. that is, judging from
the present. strenuous demand for desir'
able seat locations.
