Sydney Smith was a kind master. His servants wore loyal to him, because he considorcd them. Writing of his life as rector- of a country parish, ho said: man-servant was too expensive; so I caught up a littlo gardon-girl, made like a milestone, put a napkin in her hand, christened her Bunch, and made her my butler.

dinner, so that the maids have time to dress for church and go with the family at eleven o'clock. Dinner on Sunday was at one o'clock instead of at seven, and was the only hot meal of the day. At both dinner and supper the servants were sent away and the children waited at table. Guests were surprised to be waited upon by the danghters of the i most glowing colors; and the debate on the Nicaragua canal brought out more than one expression of the hope that the Central American Republic would eventually become a part of the United States. In short the doctrine seems to be spreading that it is our manifest destiny to snap up any unconsidered trifles in the way of outlying territory that may be obtainable, at any expense.

It is worth whil in discussing these things to take into account the value of the proposed acquisitions in the way of strengthening or keeping up the average intelligence and self-governing power of our citizonship. The inducement advanced in most cases is the natural wealth of the countries which it is proposed to buy or grab, a3 may be most convenient. But a government like ours cannot Gkokge W.

It was not much work for the children, but it gave tho Bervants almost a free Sunday and taught the young ladies to help those who helped them. The author ot "The Five Talents of Woman" quotes from a German journal a narrative of the way a lady and her daughter, in Berlin, help their servants. Every other Sunday they chango places with their servants, doing the entire household work and giv-fcy up the drawing room to them nnd their friends.

The servants play on the piano, sing, read, knit, sew Sunday is not observed thoro as a holy-day and are waited upon by the ladies. Usually the servants have company on these occasions, and the ladies cook an extra dinner and wash the dishes after- ward. They do these things cheerfully, that they may do unto their helpers as they would be done by. Youth's Miss Emma Abbott, like Jenny Lind, was a poor girl. But she has made a fortune with her voice, as Jenny Lind did.

THE BRILLIANT YOUNG ACTRESS, EDITH JUST THE PLAIN COMEDIAN, Mrs. Salter, the mayor of Argonia, does not seem to be particularly stuck on Miss Helen Gougar, we infer from her recent note to Leo Dowling, concerning Gougar's chances of getting an audience in Argouia. time. Now, it is a fact that the population of Cuba, Nicaragua or Southern California would be a distinctively undesirable addition to our citizenship. Canada is the nearest to us, both in location and tho intelligence and self-governing qualities of her people; but Canada, it is well known, cannot bo annexed to the United States without the consent of her people, any more than the United States could be annexed to the British Empire once more.

It will be time enough to consider the project of spreading ourselves all over the American continent when our neighbors ask for admission. Canada cannot be obtained before that time, and southern extensions in the present state of those populations would be dear as a gift.

The dressmakers of the country and those having occasion to avail themselves of the services of that class of artists will be interested in a verdict rendered some weeks ago by a jury in the city of Baltimore. It is a verdict well calculated for the present, at least, to attract more attention from the women of tho land than the question of equal suffrage, bifurcated apparel or even Robert Elsmere himself A local dressmaker used, or claimed that she used, twenty-four yards of cloth in making a frock for one of her customers. Tho customer perhaps would have made no criticism on that circumstance had it not been unpleasantly brought home to her. It was brought home to her in that way when the dressmaker sent in a bill charging her with twenty-four yards. She declined to settle on that basis, insisting that it was impossible that so many as twenty-four yards of cloth could have been legitimately consumed in the construction of a frock that fitted her.

The jury agreed with the customer and compelled the dressmaker to make a tuck in her bill of just eight yards. One cannot but admire the pluck of the owner the frock in resisting what she regarded as an extortion. All the same, her future, regarded from the view of frocks looks dark. The fact that she employed this particular dressmaker proves that she regards her as the best one in the city, and therefore in the world. It follows therefore, that in spite of this casual littlo over-charge of eight yards, she will continue to patronize her.

But imagine what sort of a fit she will receive at tho hands of this angry artist against whom she got her verdict!
