The elders of the gossipy critics have only to tax their memories trife to go backto the hilarious days of Mile. Sontag and Baron Rossi. Theirs was love match provoking acres of broad German grins and lots of scandal 1880 fully enjoyed and have never forgotten. Henrietta Sontag was then in the flower of her beauty of youth and charm of song. She had long declared herself invulnerable to the arrows of Cupid, but she was hu- man after all. Wherever she went it was noted that Baron Rossi was at her heels. If she arrived in Berlin by one diligence the devoted Baron was sure to arrive in the next. The same thing at Hamburg, the same at Paris, the same at St. Petersburg-until the Berlinese made fun of poor Sontag by calling her persistent follower Baron sMontag.' When love's secret began to leak out in spite of all precautions, and scandal took the place of harmless jest, they linked Lady Sunday and Baron Monday to- gether, but it turned out that the parson had joined them in advance, so that all the calumniators and jokers on Sontag were figuratively "knocked into the middle of next week." Although nearly half a century has passed one will occa- sionally encounter an old beau in the Thiergarten or the lobby of the opera, who will smile, almost thoughtfully, as he taps his snuff box and says, almost sadly, "Nobody sings like Sontag, and no one ever will"

A certain class of people confonnd culture of manner with insincerity, and blunt rudeness with noble frank ness. They admire frankness so much that they would lay no check upon it, and even look upon efforts at self con- trol with suspicious eye. This, like all extremes, has, with much error, 8 kernel of truth. Manners are 80 often assumed to hide the real character, and are so often at utter varience with the heart that lies beneath them, that it is not strange that blunt, out-spoken hon. esty should denounce them as channels of hypocrisy and deceit. But though this culture is often allied with dupli- city ,$there is no necessary connection between the two. On the contrary, it may be an important element in the motive. Many people really desire to be what others only wish to. seem. The sincere man or woman who scorns to cultivate manners will never reach the full growth of which he or she is capa- ble. It is one of the laws of our being that every inward disposition is strengthened by the outward expres- sion which represents it. For example an earnest person truly desires to cul- tivate a generous and kindly spirit. Insensibly he becomes more humane and benignant in character. On the other hand, we have known men whose hearts were originally true and tender, but who adopted gruff, cold, and re- Dellant manner, thus not only causin 2 pain and alienation in others, and also

 bunting their own susceptibilities, crushing out their sympathies, and cooling their affections. Thus the character is ever sensibly affected by the manner. and no one whe desires to elevate himself can afford to neglect it. -...-........

not difficult to perceive that remedy

In recent speech at Sheffield,
England, Mr.. Roebuck spoke of the
difficulty which the members of the
working classes have in saving mon
ey. ''To manifest providence is for
them to manifest virtue almost
unsurpassed in this world of ours"
There are so many innocent indul-
gences of which II man in full work
and ON full pay can have his modest
shear that it is a severe trial of resO-
luton tO do without them. 1t is not
much at the best, compared with the
luxurious enjoymentS of others, that
the labOring man asks. He is called
upon to bear the heat and burden of
the battles of peace and war, of
which others no wOrthier, receive
the rank and emoluments. and is in
general well content SO that he can
secure food, rai,1ent and shelter for
his wifi and children. When hard
times come thoughtless people are
apt to ask why the working classes
did not save, as if saving on wages
only sufficient to keep body and soul
together was the easiest thing in the
world. 1t would be interesting to
know how much the individuals who
taunt the working classes thus have
ever saved themselves. Mr.. ROebuck

DISORDER OF THE KIDNEY 5

We print the able and suggestive
essay of Prof. Goldwin Smith on "The
Decline of Party Government" He
opens an interesting question, which,
in one shape or another, is bound to
force itself upon thinking people. The
customary short logic of the case is that
we cannot have government without
politics, and we cannot have politics
without partisanship that is, therefore,
necessary thing which must hold the
same ascendency in the future that it
has held in the past, so that all ideas of
doing withoutit are futile, and all in
quiresres pecting 1t decline superiuous.


Wedo notsuppose thatpolitical parties
are to cease, or that partisans have the
slightest occasion for anxiety respecting
their continuance; but we do not be-
lieve that the future is going to repeat
the past In this matter. The progress
and diffusion of science, the formation
of scientific habits of thought, and an
increasing faculty Of observing and
reasoning directly upon the facts of
life, are going to interfere materially
with the ideas and interests of politics.
Thus far politics has been blind and
bungling art, necessary indeed, but so
crude, loose and wasteful in its practice,
and so much a matter of rule-of-thumb,
and transient experience, and the man
ipulation of men, that all idea of far
reaching principles in the political
sphere is currently secuted. Yet this
is not the region ofchaos, and there are
laws In political phenomena, deeper
than the Legislative enactments. These
are to be gradually worked out into
scientific expressions, and in proportion
as this is done political partisanship
must undergo important notification

that Rev. Isaac j. Lansing of Atlanta
Ca, would lecture in behalf of temper
ance at Union IA. E. Church did not call
out as large an audience as it would.other
wise. have done Mr.. Lansing is an ableand
eloquent speaker and combining as he
does, style pleasing and interesting he
was listened to with deep attention
through out his discourse.


The eloquent speaker discoursed sub
stantially as follows:


All are acquainted with the results
brought about by the rum traffic. So ex-
tensive and widespread is its work that
it comes before every one. And though
we see its effects every day yet as gen.
eral thing we look upon those who are
the direct sufferers, namely, the rum
drinkers and their families. There is no
trade or profession that it does not hurt.
For instance, there are one hundred car
penters in Wilmington. OF these we will
estimate seventy to be drinking men and
the remaining thirty to be sober. The
estimated wages are made upon the in
ferior work of the seventy drinking work
men, and ofcourse the whole one hun
dred are sufferers.


Hard times he said were chiefly caused
by intemperance, and instead Of COM
planning, against God the people should
complain against the city ana country Of
ficials.


Rum hurts the church more than any
other cause and if the people would en-
gage in hand to hand fight against il
they could overcome it.

ential men in Wilmington and as long as
they continue to work the hard times will

seems the Senator has contemplated re-
signing for several months past, although
he authorized your correspondent about
six weeks ago to deny paragraph pub
lished in one of the nyws-papers that
such was the fact. His reason for his
present course is that he.is too old to pro.
perly represent his State on the floor of
the Senate, and that he believes in youth
and vigor in politics. A man turning
eighty years OF age he thinks he has no
business in public life. To remain long
er would be neither just to his party nor
to himself. He intends to retire to his
home at Harrisburg and live in quiet se
clusion for the remainder of his days n
The Senator will not admit it, but


then his friends do, that it is the Sera-
tors pet idea that his son Don should


sncceed him. Had he remained in the
cabinet the Senator would have undoubt-
edly served out the remaining two years


OF his term unless cut Of by death. The
resignation now is the opportune time


for the succession Of Don for the reason


that the course OF Gov. Hayes in snub-

the republican politicians OF that State,
and has for the time being united them
around the Cameron standard. In the
heat Of their anger they will forget their


differences and will elect Don to the SEN
ate. Don once in the Senate it will be
