Xpw York, May 23.—The true story of the JapBeovett ducl, a5 given fo the Times, was ftended to pave the way for tho return to Americs of James Gordon Beanett, exile. It 525 admirably caleulated to work up a public septiment favorable to the young man, who gands considerably fo need—it may as well he confessed—of suck 3 seatiment. But the sec- oad troe story, as given in the Baltimore Sun, was ope true story too much. When there are two trae stories about ooe and the same event, 20 these two do pot agree in any important re- the case becomes complicated, and the ibilities of reaching . conclusion satisfacto- rrothe logical mind are jndefinitely removed. After what hss just vassed, aside from are- zewal of gossip and interest, THE BENNETT-NMAY AFFAIR remsins abont where it was_before, with o dif- fercnce. The difference affcets ueither of the princiosls inthe duel, but it touches Dr. Phelps sery close to the rewion of bis sensibilities. The curgeon in question undoubtedly has good rea- gon to wish that he had never been connccted with goy young geuntleman whose honor re- qulred sstistaction according to the code. There was for him much loss of valuable tme, no sat- isfaction in the way of dressing dangerous wounds, immense notoriety, aud, to concinde the bosiness, some troublesome encounters withthelaw, 1zisstated on the authoricy of aclub man~and club men know everything, in this line st least—that thelegal emparrassments. resulted sery dearly to the Doctor, whose Jaw- yers, according to this authority, charwed him 000 for their cminent services. 1t is also siated, without equal confirmation, that a cer- txin young editor in Europe paid the bill. Bug all this was nothinz fn cowmnparison to what has ow befallen the surgeon whose services on the field were, haopily or unbappily, not required. THE PIRST TRUE STORY, tld by Mr. Wilkes, o most houorable man, was presented as Dr. Phelps’ versfoa, and the latter was made sn eye-witness. When this story was published, it either had to be auswered, or the May party must be considered too mean to Iive. Tt wasapswered,—first in Baltimore, and thea 1o New Yors.. The autbor of the true story from Baltitnore would hardly have been better &nown bad he siened his name to it. Accord- inz 10 the logic ot the story itself, it must be aitributed to cither one or other of the Mays, The New York cara lies before me. ltisa severe arraignment, evidently fotended to call out Dr. Phelps. The writer hides behind the encient. pseudonym of *Veritas,? but sigmif- jantly says, “1 jeave my name with the editor for those whom it may concern.” Ir this vio- Jent assoult on tbe first “true™ story, said story is declared, in the most unqualitied terms, absoiotely and maticiously false; and it is said further, that if Dr. Phelps gave such a state- meat to Mr. Georze Wilkes, he Loew he was paking a falee statement when he did so. A point appreciated by the club men here was turned on the unfortunate sentence in Dr. Phelps’ version, fn which {s mentioned “the sngry wound which his opponent had inficted upon him while Lis ARYIS WERE ENTANGLED i bis cost.” The critie wants to know “how can a man’s arms get entangled in the coat which he has on?” And Mr. Benoett is not here to 2nswer the delicate question. Another pot of “Veritas'" card i8 tbe starement that an accu- rate account of the duel (the real true story), drawn up and signed by May’s sccond., Benuett’s second being in Europe, was sent bere and cir- culated freely tor several mouths in different clabs, “no one darivy then or since to question its accoracy.” His account, for some reason or ather, failed to fall into the bands of any of Mr. Bennett’s friends, so far as can be ascer- taioed. It no doubt tallied with the Baltimore story printed the other day. Aswasto be expected, Dr. Phelps zeplies to “Veritas " in a brief card. ile says: In deference o the rights of otber gentlemen concerned 1n the alleged auel between M. Benuett ond Mr. May, T have thus far refrained, under cir- cumstances Of great provocation, from making any pessonal explanation; but anm anonymous comma- zicstion in_the 7imes of this morning, evidently ¥rten under the mupression that any eficient r- olf might subject me to criminal prosecution, is £0 strocionsly cowardly and calumnious that I am campelled 10 declare its falgeness in every redec- tiowwaich it makes upon my character and conduct. Herc 1s 2 fair chauce for another duel. TUE LIE DIRECT HAS BEEN GIVIN, a0 the surgeon hints pointedls that what he wonld regard as an “ eflicient reply” mixht £abject him to criminal prosecution. It is true that Dr. Phelps has had enougn of tue law, but, i % Veritas will truly come out with his true Dame, we may hear of two other New York seotlemen mysteriously disappearing, to be Ciscovered prescnily on the field. J snazested Jast year that Messrs. Bennett and May should establish a echool of dueling, warranting the verfect safety of their pupils and all ozhers who sdopted their system. It does not appear but that, before this matter is #nally disposed of, fueh 1 schoo) would be very desirable. _Another TPropasition, thrown out gratuitously in the in- terests of society, fs that if any supplementary duels resalt from the bloodiess skirmish in cornfield last January vear, the ccmbatants cast hand-grenades at “one another. Lot there be 0o more failures and izaominy. The revival of the matter forms just now the principal tople at tnc clubs and in society. GRACE'S NEW ORGAN. An exceedingly flue programine was given at the Grace Church orzan recital yesterday alter- 1oon, the oceasion being selected for the exhibi- tion of the new orman, with 1ts echo and gallery conncetions. Invitations were issued 0 an X~ tentthot crowded the house. The cveot, as displaying the capabilities of what is held to be the fivest church orzan yet built, was of cot Eiderable importance. A’ for the prozramme, qns organists were Mr. Dudler Buck, of the Holy “Irintty, Brookiyn; Mr. Henry Carter, of Anity: Mr. Georze Morgan, Talmaze's organ- fst: Mr. George _Warren, of St. Thomas', and Alr. Samuel P.” Warren, of Grace, who was gen- gral director. Miss 1da W. Hubbell aud Mr. Georze Simpson assisted as_voealists. The Jumbers iucluded Bach's *+ Passacaglia ” and Prelude and Fague in D minor, Schubert’s Ave Maria,” the march from Costa’s * EH,” 8 selection from Mendelssohn’s * Lobgesang ™ E¥mphony, and an introduction and variations 31 *“God Save the Queens” Mr. Buck Tendered his diaylle “At Evening,” and Mr. Georze Warren gave an impromptuy with excellent effect. Mr. Simpson, W2 possesses o tenor voice of fine quality, rendered s recitative end air from Handel's ‘“Jeptha,” and Miss Hubbell sang “1wall Extol Thee, O Lord,” from Molique's “ Abraham. ™. . AS FORTIE ORGAY, afirst hearing would scarcely be sufficient for the formation of an accurate opiaion; but the general expression of organists and others famibar with orzans is higoly favorable. The lustrument comprises what are called respee- tively chaucel, gallery, and echo organs, The el organ standsn a chamber budlt for the Purpose, at the angle formed by the east wall O the south transept and thie chancel wall. The Falers orpan, built in 1530 by Henry Erben, 30d very swest ia tone, rematns as hitherto, over 18e main entrance. The echo organ is situated fathe roof, over the intersection of the pave 2ad transept. Tucse orgsus are counecied, by means of clectric action, with the keyhoards 12 the clianeel, and are ‘thus brought under 1he control of one performer. Notwithstanding the acoustic and other dutilenlties in the way, the builder has succeeded, by a perfect system O mechanism, in obtaining 2 Eimultaneousness ©f respouse almost incredible. When it is co sidered that a distance of 150 fect separates 1hese sections from each other, and that over trenty miles of electric wire bave been used to connect them, the magnitude of this part of thie ‘Work alone may be estimated. TUE SOUND-GOARDS 2re constructed on the exhaust vrinciple, with T cations and improvements, which have given them the * Ropsevelt ' _uame, after the ‘bailder of thisinstrument. The keys commu- nicate directly with th i ) ‘e pipes, the touch beins thus rendered sutficlcm.l_vpensiy and n:rzcnbh:g, While more prompt than with the sid of the old poeumaticdevice. The composition pedals are 50 made that the organist can arrange one or all of them for any set of changes or combinations. The means thus at the orzanist’s disposal forvaried contrastsare practically inexhaustble, and the scope afforded for antiphonal effects, fn all deetces of shading and power, is claimed to be such as cannot be found m any other orgun built, whether in this country or in Eurape. Tlhiere are, all told, 4,419 pipas. The soundiug stons number 70, and the mechanical appliances 23. The DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THE ORGAN, mechanical and musical, render it indeed a tri- umph of the att of organ-building, and_Grace is more than proud and “content. The addition jonthe south is ornameatal, and gives 3 much more cathedral-like character to the church that has played soimportaot 2 part iu the social bistory of the metropolis. The geueral move- ment up-town bas been unable to fake from Grace cither its parishioners or prestize, and the celebrated usher “Brown ™ is gazed at by Visiting strangers with as much inquisitiveness and admiration as of yore. \With its new organ Grace s at the front with Trinity. CRITICS AND LAWYERS. Miss Adelaide Lennox, having taken her stand agsinst dictatorial managers aud other oppress- ors of geniusin the world theatrical, proposes to maintain it agaiust threats of prosccution or l;ersccunun. It scems tuat Messrs, Jarrett & Prlmer took exceptions to @ portion of her lect- ure, as reported, aud had their lawyer write her a letter. This asked for a uisclafnier, or the authority upon which the statement was made; {ailing to give which, the lady was to be held responsible. The statementwas to the effect that a young gitl fn a plain gown had sought 8o cnfagement and wus spubbed; that Mrs. Jobn Drew sald to the girl, * You ouzht to have known better than o £o toa New York man- azer with such gloves and dress. Here, put on this dress and these diamond earriugs, and o to Jarrett & Palmer or Lester Wallack: theu you will get an engagement '; and that the eirl did so, and got an engagement from the very managers who had snubbed ber. Miss Adelafde’s Inwyer sent a bricf and Dot cunciliatory reply, saying that Miss Lennox had o disclaimer to offer; that she stated facts alone fo the f(lustration of her lecture; and that she was prepared thew, and would be in future, to mect any ageressive legal action of Jarrett & Palwer, or any verson who might feel agerieved Dy any remarks made by Miss Lennox ou the oceaslon of ber recent lecture. Now the ques- tion fs, What will be done about it! A GEANCE FOR “GAIL.” A clergyman ju Brooklyn caused a decided commotion last Sunday by preaching a serinon thut was a severe arrafenment of District-At- torney Catlin. The immediate cause was the action of the official in conncetion with the caso of young Johnson, who shot his Wwife iu a most dastardly manner, and is now in an Insane Asylum on the opinion of several experts that Yis condition did not warrant trial. The Distfjct- Attorney lald these facts before the Court, and obtained leave to take charge of the case. There was o current opinion, upon this, that pothing further wonld be beard of the case, and this was larzely due to the fact of the wealth and position of the familics concerned. ‘The clergyman spoke with much dircetness and warmth, denouncing the officiaf as not fiviug up +0 the reform platform on whichhe was elected, and sugzesting that 325,000 would he readily paid to'stop the trial. The sermon caused GREAT EXCITEMENT. Atits close a politiciau rose and charged the preacher with baving made assertions whose trath he could not prove; and was oing on to say other things, when a member helped him ot of the church. The District-Attorney answered at leugth through the press, and made a stroug case by saving that, n were Johuson not insaue, his wif¢, who was the only witvess able to prove the charges, was in such condition that to have called her to testify against ner busband had been worse than ivhuman. The matter is not settled yei; but there is another cpance for Gall Hawilton to impale a preacher for stepping outside of theology. H. G.

How It Differs from the Sumner, Tick~ nor, and Martinean Books. ‘What We Miss and What Woe Gain—Faith- Sallie a3 Prompter—My Last View of the Great Actress. From Our Own Correspondent. BosToN, May 23.~The most. notable books that have been issued from the press in this country for the past two or three years scem very decidedly, with one or two exceptions, to be those of biography. The Life and Letters of, George Ticknor began the list: thenwe bad | the incomparably greater and more greatly in- teresting Life of Charles Sumner and the Har- riot Martineau biography. Perhaps the little mewmoirof Gen. Bartleit will scarcety come under this list; but, brief asit is, and turning princi~ pally upon thejevents of our War, it has yet the elemrents of the true biosraphy, and Las proved its claim to interest by theissuing of a second edition. The recollections of Danlel Webster also differed in form from the real biograpby, but at the same time appealed to the sume class of rcaders and delizhted the same taste. TIUE BIOGRATUY OF CHARLOTTE CUSIMAN, which bas been expected for some months, and which is now before me in early advance-shcets, js the latest of these blographies, and not the least interesting, though it is in reality more of a personal Mmemoir than a biograpby, differing in tnis from the Ticknor, Sumner, and Martin- cau books, Which are so rich in accounts of the various distiuguished persons, of whomn we arc always greedy of a little more knowledge, It seems odd thay in Miss Cushman’s corre- spondence there should not bave been letters contaming more of these accounts of the per- son, of world-wide interest with whom she was constantly thrown. With the exception of a word or two about Ristori, and the Carlyles and Rogers, there is Jittle or nothing n this direction. With her wide sympathies aod ap- preciation it seems ucredible that there should not bave been in lher corrcspondence something more than mere mention ot the varions persomapes whom she must Tave known, and in suen a spirit that no possi~ ble objection could have been found for the publication. The Jetters ivenare mostly domes- ticand friendly exchanges of Rume and kindred matters. We et 1n them beautiful glimpses of Miss Cushman’s warmth of heart, and her great family adberence. We et also most admirable pictures of her daily life, and her professional suceesses abroad,—the latter untinzed by any vasity or self-lorvivg,—simple records merely for her friends of ‘the Tacts. But none the less do we miss the social record of her own experi- ence in less personal matters, not merely as 8 matter of curiosity, but of real, endurinz inter- est,—that interest which is vers far removed from the vulzar idca of gossip, which Miss Cushman berself would be ineapable of. But her great dramatic perception, which shows it- self all through the book,—in her meetings with Ristorl, in tne_ piquant description of Mrs, Carlyle, and in littie pictures now and then of the Italian servants and TIE IRISH CAR-DRIVER,— shows us also how much we have lost in losing his fulter record. ‘The fault, howeyer, may lie with the biograpler, but with the limit of letters. Full op interest as Miss Cushman was in all the aflairs of life, this biography discloses that her great aflectional nature turned her mind greatly in her correspondence o the mutual in- terchauge of the sentiments and emotions of a private and versonal_character, and very likely to the exclusion of other matters. We ret a hint. of this possibitity in the following about Car- wife: sSunday. who should come self-invited to meet me but Mrs. Cariyle? She came at 1 o'clock and stad until 8. And such o day I huve not known! Clever, witty, calm, cool, unsmilinz,u aring, 8 raconfeur “unparaileled, a manner {tablc, 3 bebavior scrupulons, aud a power in- viucible, —a combination rare and étrange exists in that plain, keen, unatiractive, Yyet noescapablo woman! O, 1_must tol you of that day, for 1 cannot write it! After she Ieft, of course weo talked Aer until the small boursof the morning. In some instances, too, we find a curious self~ @epreciation, like this about Mrs. Browning and George Sand. Speaking first of George Sand, she says: My one sole reason for not knowing or secking to know her has been my reverence. 1 cannot speak Frencu; Leannot make myself suliciently understood to'intrude upon the 1ife and time of a great woman lke ladame Dndevant, and I do not sind they understand or appreciate the ndmiration of forengners. Thizused o be my feeling even with Mrs. Brownme. 1 never felt that I could \ bring ansthing worthy to exchange with her, and I became conscious, which spoifed my ability and her appreciztion of me, Ul et mself, 1am as nothing; ¥ you own fricnds love me aud Judze me kindly; uxe, when I can talk freely upon the subjects wuich interest and occupy me, without a thought of myself or the imprexsion I am making, all 1s well ¢no1zh, an life, my character through my life, makes itself felf. To Georze Sand I should bring nothing but my _rever- ence and my admiration. She would prodace in me the eame fecling unid the same silence she did in Mrs. Browning. Therefore I have hesitated to Kknow her. But one of these days we wlll go to- gether to sce herand thank her for all that she has been to Loth of us; for to me she revoaled my relizion, and she has cver been adle to produce. notliing but zo0d in me. But, avart from our disanpointment in failing tofind these sovial and individual records, the book s something more than entertaining in its record of courageous pursuance of a great aim. What TOE “ CHRISTIAN MATRON —who distivzuished herself by her strictures o fes moutis avo—will think of* Miss Cushman’s ideaof the stage as a business it would be amusing, if not 1structive, to find out. And, in the face of a great deal of ignorant injustice towards the play and the players, it is good to read such testimony as this *There was a time, " she writes, *¢in my Hife of girlhood, when 1 thought I bad been called npon to Lear the very hardest ‘thing that can come to 4 woman.

Noble and many exceptions there are, but the cundemnation of Miss Fanny Kemble will menerally stand against it, ¢ that it 1s unworthy of true manliness in wan aud true modesty in woman,’ What would Miss Cushman, who believed the art. itsel{ so high, have said to this; and what did she say to Fanuy Kemble's PATTOLESS JUDGMENT? Doubtless she wouid have thought that the ‘ noble and many exceptions ” mark what the whole stage-life may become, and that the stage Las a right 10 be judzed by these exceptions. To the accusation, not intrequently heard, that Charlotte Cushman was *‘stinzy,” and thought only of her own, the record of these puces secms pretty muply _to _ refute. Toe dear *public,” aud,” indeed, indi- viduals, have a way of judging or wisjudgiog a prominent character whicll is es- pecially shallow and narrow. Miss Cushman’s own reply to the dramatic critic who asked Ler to give a dramatic representation for the poor of his city will show how entirely in the right and how ve she was in thus daring to come forward. Those wio sufler from putograph- huanting also will feel as thourh they would like to placard fier letter to the Philadelphia Zedger upon the walls and @oorways, that all who run way read, and verhaps take heed thereirom.

Reaaing of faithful Sallie Mercer in the carly chapters of Miss Cushman’s biography seems like “reading out of &_&tory-book,” as we say, 50 Tarc au instance is it of true service on tao art of an attendant. and foud affection to the &st between mistress and servant. Two sam- mers axo, just efter Miss Cusbman's death, I met this faithful Sallie at the house of one ‘of Miss Cushman’s friends. She looked the woman of character that the reeord shows, wno could keep house in America or Italy, and or- ganize an establishment in either place, with ‘cqual skill, It was touchin to hear her speak ot her dead mistress, and to observe how mi- nutely she had made herself part and parcel of that Iite she bad loved and still loved so well. That her intelligence was sufficient for this part and parcel is sufficiently proved by the fact that she was familiar with most of Miss Cushau’s parts, and at one time, when the prompter was off duty, became hersclf prompter for the Donce. In Boston, where Miss Cushman had so many personal friends, this story of her life will be peculiarly acceptable, as It has been eAmerly awaited these last, few months. Like Modjeska, she made WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS HER LOVERS, and these will find in_thiese pages confirmation of their bizhest admiration. My own last view of herin Boston was five orsix years awo (it may have been a year or two_longer), when she appeared one evening 4t the Globe in the sieep- walking scene from_ “Macbeth,” and the trial scene of Queen Kathering, followed up by the fuuy little comedy of * The Simpsons.” Inthe two first sho was said to be very greavs but I did not like her acting as in the comedy. I thought then, and I tbink now, With some of the wisest: of the critics, that she was essentiafly & come- dian of the highest order rather than n trage- dian, What the London press thought of er lighter parts, the bits of glowing praise which her biographer gives will show, N.

ENGLAND ON THE RAILS More Travel in That Country than in the United States. The English System of Railway- Traveling Superior to the American. Inoidents of Travel on British Roads— The British Railway Vocab- ulary. Richard Grant Thtte (n the dtlantic for June. The notion of our beinz 80 much mare given to travel than Epelishmen are, had lts origin many years ago, before railways were, ana when We used, eren much more than we do now, what, Englishmen can never use larsely as a means of locomotion, steamboats. A British traveler, find- ing himself in one of our large river-boats, with. oue, two, or perhaps three or four bundred Ppeople, came not unnaturally to the conclusion that our whiole population was coustantly mov- ing about in those to him wonderful vessels. He had never secen more than a stage-coach full of fellow-passengzers at one time, and the great throng astonished him. But for one travelerin o stage-coach here, there were a hundred in Eagland, besides those wha traveled post. However all this may bave been, nowadays half England seems to be every day upon the rails. High and low, richand poor, they spead no small part of their tme in railway-carnages. Ladies who would not venturs themselves in o London cab alone (although that they do now pretty freely) travel by rofl unattended, or at most with a maid, who is generally in a second- class carriage while they are in a first. Not only marrled and middic-aged women do this, but young ladics, even of the higher and the upper- middie classes.* The numberof traius that en~ ter and leave London, Liverpool, Birmingnam, and other large citics daily is eoormous. The great stations fu London, of which there ara six or seven, like the Victoris, the Cbaring Cross, and the Euston Strect, swarm with crowds at alt hours. The entirs population of the island stems to be ' ALWAYS *ON THE GO.” And all this is done without bustle or confusion. The Englishman and the Englishwoman of to- duy are so accustomed to travel that they go about upon the rails with no more fuss than fo oing from the drawlng-room to the dining- room, and from the dining-room back into the drawing-room; and this quict in Jocomotion is much aided by the perfoct system of the railway manage- ment, and the comfort with which the whole proceeding is invested. A loug train arrives at a great station whence bundreds of people are Jjust about to start. There is no confusion, and the train is emptied, and in five minutes or less all the passengers, with their Juggaze, are ous of the station and on their way homeward. There has been much dispute as to the com- perative convenience of the English and Aweri-*| can systems of railway-traveling. 1 give my voice, without hesitation_or_qualification, in favorof the English. In Eugland a man in his traveling, as in all other affairs of life, does not. lose his individuality. fle does mot become merely one of the traveling public. He is not transmuted, even by that great social change- r, the railway, into 8 mere item in a con zeries of 50 mauy things that are to be trans- ported from one place to anotber with the least trouble to the common carrier. IS PERSONAL COMFORT IS LOOKED AFTER, Dis fndividual wishes are, so far as is pussible, consuited. e arrives at the station with his bageage. One of the compauy’s porter’s imme- diately appears, asks where he is going, and takes his trunks and bags. He buys is tickets, and dirccted, if he needs direction, by other servants of the company, all of whom are in uviform, he takes his seat in a first-class or see- ond-class carriage, as he has chosen. He 1s as- sisted to find a comfortable vlace, and, if he ap- pears at all at a loss, is prevented by the attend- ants from getfing 1nto 1 wrong train or & wrong carriage. For bere, us fn all similar places in ZEnglaud, there is always some authorized per- sonal_ hand to answer questions: and the an- swer is civil and pleusant. Ilis bagvage, properly labeled, i5 placed in a van of compartment in the very _carriaze in which he takes his seat.” For, coutrary to the gencral supposition, first, second, an: third class carringes are not distiuct vehicles, or, as we might say, cars, coupled together in a train. The body of the vebicle on each *truck ™ is divided into tirst, second, and third class car- riages or compartments; and each one of these composite vehicles has a lugmage-van, A minute or two before the train is to start, a servant of the company, whose particular busi- ness it is, oes to the door of cvery carrlage, and, cxamining the tickets of the passensers, sees that each one fs_properiy placed. Iu more thaun onc instance I have seen the error of an ignorant passenger who had neglected to make the proper inquities rectificd by this precaution, which preveuts mistakes that would bave proved very Sunoyisg. When this has been done, the doors are closed, but not_locked, the word is given, **All right,” and the train starts, and with & motion SO GENTLE THAT IT 1S HARDLY PERCEPTIBLE. There is o clanging of bells or shricking of whistles. The quict 6t the whole proceeding is as impressive as its order. And I will here re- mark that that most hideous of all sounds, the mingled shrick and howl of the steam-whistie, from the aunoyance of which we are hardly free apywuere in_America, is rarely heard in Englaad. At Morley’s Hotel, in London, which is in Trafalgar Square, within 3 _stone’s- throw of the great Charing Cross station, and where I stopped for some days, I did not once Lear, evea in the stilloess of night,” this atro- cious sound. On the rails it is rareiy heard; and there the noise is not very unpleasant. It is a short, sharp soand,—a real whistie, not a demoniac shriek, or a hollow, meraltic roar. The care that is taken of the safety of pas- sengers Is shown by an fncident of which I was 2 witness when goibe to Canterbury. The way~ stations are on both sides of the road. Passen- zers who are golng up take the train on one side; those going down, on the otier. The communication between the two sides of the statfon is eituer by a bridee above the rails, or by a'tunnel undereround; sud uo one who is nut a sérvant of the company is allowed to walk on the tracks, or to cross them, under any cireumstances whatever. On the occasion to which I refer, a man steoped down (rom the platform on one side, and Wwas instantly met by a person in uniform who ordered bim back. “He submitted at once, and then seid, good-humoredly, to the station-master, *‘I sup- pose you adopted that regulation because of the accidents that happened.” ** No,” replied the other, with a smile: * we adopted it before the accidents happeued.” Here we always wait for the accident. The carriages are @ TIE PERFECTION OF COMFORT, The first-class arc in every Mty luxurious. You are as wuch at your ease #s if you were in a Iarge stuffed arm-chair with a back hizh enough o support your head as well as your shoulders. The second-class carringes on some of the lines are bardly inferior n reat comrort, although they are not so handsomely fitted up.—tne chief important ditference being a diminution of room. But even in the first-class carriages there is no glare of color orof tinsel, no shinivg orua- ments of wood or metal. Allis rich and sobe and there are no sharp corners or hard su faces. The Lolder of a first-class_ticket ‘may ride in a second or a third class carriaze if he desires to do so and there is room for him3 and L have again and again, on the stopping of the train. gone from one-to the other to observe the passepgers in cach. and to talk with them.—ior English people are much more tallative and communicative than we are, particularly when they are travelinz. o this ‘way I bad the pleasure oi mapy fong conver- sations, even with ladies whom [ never saw be- fore, and whumn 1 shall probably neversce aZain. When a train stops, the doors are immediately thrown open, and, if it isata way-station, the passengers give up their tickets a5 they pass out through the station. If vou choose to zo beyond the point for which you have bought vour ticket, you merely pay the additional fare, Tor which a receipt 1s given; doing which causes you no appreciable defay. When the train reaches its destination, it i3 stopped a short distance from the station, and au officer of the company comes to the door of the carriaze and asks for your ticket. Some- times this is done at the last way-station, if that is very near the end of the line. The train then moves on and quietly enters the station, slowing its gentle movement so gradually thac motion insensibly becomes rest.

Police officers are there, too, noy Toungiug or indifferent, but ready, quick, an ACTIVE TO GIVE YOU PROTECTION AND NELP. The result is expedition and the keepinz of your property under your own eye, and the baying it imniediately ai your residence. It is customary to give the porter who gets your cab and takes your luzgage to it sixpence or fourpence for his trouble. At the great railway stations such is the throng of travelers ceasélessly passing back and forth, or waiting for trains, accompanied some- tunes, in the case of ladies who are zoing alone, by friends, that these places afford very favor- able opportunities for the observation of all sorts ot people from all parts of the country, whose supcrficial traits may be thus conven- fently studicd and . compared. 'The varfety of classts and conditions is great; the differsnce unmistakable. Here we see nothing like it. True, we can tell Northerners from Sonthern- ers, Enstern men from Western men, and can distinguish by the outside between a denizen of one of the great cities and one from the rural districts. An observant eye can even detect slight varfations between the urban and the suburban man or wotman, none thc less easily when the latter has her parments carefully made according to tle patterns in Harper’s LBazar. But bevoud this a close abservation of our travelers tells us little. In Eoglaud, not- withstanding the leveling oud assimilating tendencles of the last balf-century, due largely 1o the railway itsclf, the gradation of classes is readily perceptible, even to a stranger’s eye; nor is the condition, or in many cases the occu~ pation, less distinguishable than the class. Aw- rieuitural laborers are very rarely seen wpon the railway, cxcept when they move in gangs for special Work: and then they are quite ikely to be Irishmen. The farmers travel much more than 1 supposed they did,— VERY MUCH MORE THAN THEY DO WITR TS. Tmet with them aud talked with them in sec- ond-class cars on every lincon which [ traveled; for as I have said it was my habit, when alone, to chaoge my place at station and station to second aod third class carriages, which 1 learned that the bolder of & first-class _ticket wight do if the trains wers not crowded, had the zood fortune to witness an inctdent very characteristic of the soclety in which I was. I took the train at Birminghaw about 4 o’clock. in the afternoon. Although I bad a second- class ticket, I entered by mistake a first-class carriage. The grades of the carriares are in- dicated on the glass of the upper half of the doors; but as the doors were opened and thrown back azainst the carrriaze, I did not see * First Class "’ on the door of the one I entered. When the zuard came 1 said * London,” and put wy band to my pocket for my ticket, bub he, supposin I knew my place, nodded his head and passed on. When the train started [ was alove in the carrinze. When we reached the nest station, or the next but one, a party of three, Juunz gentleman aud two ladies, ap- proachied the carriage, and ove of the ladies en- tered it and took the seat next to me on my teft hand, between me and the door, I having oue of the middle seats. Her companions ap- peared to be her brother aund sister, or her sister-in-faw: and from their talk, which Icould Dot avoid bearing, I learned that she was going a short distance, and was to be met by her Thusband at the station where she was to stop. When the train began its gentle, almost imper- ceptible motion, both of themn kissed ber.—tue Tndy with feminine effusion, but the young gen- tleman in 8 perfunciory manner; and whew I saw his coolsalute, and heard his “ Take care of yourseif, old «irl,” I was sure he was ner brother. No other man having his privilege could have availed himself of it with such fudit- ference. For my carriage compavion was LEAUTIFGL WOM. and her beauty impressed me the more because of its delicate character, and becadse she was the tirst really pretty woman of her class that 1 bad yet seen in Eneland. She was just tail epongh to be noticeably so, and the noble ele- gance of her figure could not be concealed by her traveliug dress. ‘This was a lone warment, of 1 soft texture and light color between buff and cream, buttoned from the throat to the lower Lem with buttoss of the sume tint as that of the dress. Ifer hat, or her bonnet, was also of the same material, and was without orua- ment of any kind. As abonpet has strings, I believe, and a bat has not, it was probably a hat; for no woman not jnhumanly disposed could conceal by a ribbon the inner outline of such a cheek as bers; and shewas not inhuman. Tn her dainty ears were swall dull-gold carrings set with turauoises, which werc watched by thie brooch which contived a lace frill arounda her fovely throat. Hereyes were blue, her brow fair;” ber mouth hud the child-like sweet- ness which Murillo gave to the lips of his Virgins; in expression her face was cherubic. She_apparentiy had no other lugraze than a small }gusshmvleutber bag, which she put into the rack above our heads. Wesat in silence; for there was no oceasion for my speaki her, and she looked wostly out of the Afierwe had passed one or two stations she took down the little hasd-bag, opened it, took out a bottle and a small sllver cup, and turmny beracll somewbat more to the wibdow poure something into the cup and draokit olf at a draught. 1did oot see what she drank; but in an justant Lknew. The perfume filled the whole carriage. IT WAS BRANDY; and the overpowering odor with which I was surronaded told me of the strength of her draught as well as if [had mixed her grog m jself, or bad joined her In a sociuble cup. At this I was not so much astonished a3 I should have been two or three days before; for at the Birminghaw festival I had seen, during the in- zerval between the two parts of 8 morniog per~ lormance, potativn of the same kind by ladies of whase respectability there could be Bo ques- tion. We wenton in silence, Aiter passing one or two more stations we stopped at one~Rug- by, 1 believe~for a little Jongzer time than usual. Soon f was conscious thut some per- sans whom I did not sce werc avout entering the open door, when my angelic beauty sprang from her seat, and, placing herself before the door, cried ont, “No, you shan’t come in! 1 won't have third-class people in the carriage?” There was a remonstrance which I did not clear- 1y bear, and the oeople attempted to enter. She then threw bher nrlm across. me do(orwny like a bar, clasping firmly one side of tue car- riage with a beautiful ywhue dimpled hand. I thought at ouce of Cathicrine Douglus; and the Scotch girl, when she thrust her arm through tne staples of the door, to keep out the pursg- ers of ber King, could cot have been more ter- ribly in earncst. She (my Catherine Douslas) almost screamed out, ©Go back! go back! You sban’t come in! Thisis & first-class car- Tiage, and 1 WON'T HAVE TITID-CLASS PEOPLE YOT 1NTO ) Then came counter-crics, and there was s hobbub which _certainly was of the very first cluss. She turned her beauti- ful’ head. to me _with oen sppealing look; but I sat still and made nosign. Aguard or other official person, who accompanied the inferior intruders, expostulated with her; and I heard him explain that the train was so fuil that all the third aud even tho second class car- riazes were ocenpied, and that, as these people liad their tickets and said they must go on, he was_obliged to put them into our carriuge. It would be for but a little whiie, only till we reached a certain station. My fafr companion was obdurate, and perhads was a litle set up by the contents ot the silver cup. But tio first- ciuss passengers came in, and as they pleaded for the admission of the luckless third-class peo- ple, and the assurances that there was o alter- pative and that the period of contamination would bo brief were repeated, she at last sub- sided into ber seat, still grumbling, and the objectionable persors were admitted. They certainly werc not people with whom it would have been pleasant to sit down to dinuer. Ome, 2 woman, took the seat on my rizht, and the other, a coarse, ill-looking fellow, sat_bimself opposite to her, Thc face and hands of the woman, sal- low_eznd leathery, although ehe ias young, micht have been’ cleaucr, and contrasted ves unfavorsbly with the lovel‘y], fair, and fres complexion of the angry beauty., Her nails were like claws, with long black tips. She had aredwoolen comforter around ber neck, and her bonnet was a hopeless mas3 of crumpled ribbons and_dingy, farine flowers. Her com- panion was the male proper to such & female,— 8 Jittleless noisome, however; and 1 have ob~ served that when s woman sets out to be dirty or disagreeable she succeeds better than & mavu. Immediately a WAR OF WORDS bezan between the two “ladies,” and it was fought across ine. The beauty repeateq ber ob- Jection to third-class people, and protested that asshe bad pald for & firstclass place it was a shame that she should be made to travel third class'whether she would or no. She with the red comforter wisked $o know what lmrm she would do anybody by riding ip the same car- riage with thew, and added, “Some peepull that coll themselves first-clawss peepuil because they paid fora first-clawss ticket might be no better than other peepull that paid for a third- clawss ticket.” A'snill and a toss of the beau-, tifulhead. Then she of the comforter: “*4s- for me, I'm not going to stop in Rugby all nizht with race-peepull.” (It appeared that there bad been races somewhere in the neighborhcod of Rugby that dav.) “If peepull were ouly thira-clawss pecpull, they couldn’t bo expecteit to stop all night in a place wew.the ’ol: town was filled with ouly race-peepull.” Thisa prop-~ osition seemed to meet with geseral bland as- sent from all the company in the carriage; and 1 was deligbted to find that below the deep of common third-class people there was admitted tobestill & lower deep, into which third-class peonle could not be expected tu descend. Un- posite to my fair neighbor now sat a rubicuzd, well-rounded clergyman, to the establishing of whose local color many_gullons of rchly- flavored port must have gome. He bad 'mot an apron or even s dean’s hat, but either wounld well have become him. e soothed the fair first-class be- ing with a mild mixture of sympathy and ex- postulation. There was a gencral discussion of the situatfon, in which every onc of my fellow- passengers had somethiog to say: and the fm- propriety of uhe third-class people being put into contact with the first-class people W43 GENERALLY ADMITTED, without the least regard for the presence of her of the red comforter and of Ler companion. At last [ was lprenh:d to; for all the while I had sat silent. replied, *‘Really, I oughta’t to say anything about the matter; forI myself am only a sccond-class passenzer out of place.” The beauty turned upon me a stare of smnmsez and, with a bewildered luok, “ wilted down ™ into her corper. She of the dingy claws and flowers tittered, and the subject was dropped. Altera while the sileuce was broken by the third-class person’s saying that she want- ed to met to a certain place that night, and asked vaguely, of mo ope in particular, if she could do so. There was po reply at first; after a moment or two Twas surprised by hearing the first-class dame say **Yes,”” softly, with a mild surliness, and lookine straizht before her. Her former foe asked, “Howi" A shorter pause; then “Takethe train that meets tnis ove at Blis- worth Junction,” came from the veautiful lips petween the turquoises, the bead turned slightly toward the questioner, and the words dropped sidelong. This seemingly aanounced a treaty of peace; and again to my surprise, and much more to my pleasure, & conversation went ou atroye me, but now in perfectamity, and 1n- formation as to the minatest particulars was freely usked for with_respzctful defereuce, and given with gracious affability. The fact that my fair neighbor Wwas accoms panied to the station by ber brother aud sister showeq that she was what is called ‘A RESPECTAULE WOMAN"; and the mauner ad speech of the three were thosc of cuitivated people. Moreover, upon reflection I became convinced that she was meither a termagant umor & partie- ularly illnatured person. She had merely dooe, in 2 muonner rather unusual, I believe, even tn England, and somewhat too pronounced. to my taste, what it is the habit of the whole people ot England to do: she had insisted upon her rights aud resisted an_imposition. She meant 10 have what she paid for. ‘Fhis is the custom and the manner there. English peoplo are, according to my observation, kind and eon- siderate, natiteably so, and ready to do a serv- ice to any one in need of it; but they resist, zi eb_armis, unguibus et are, tooth anu’ nail, the slightest attempt to impose upon ttem; and they do it instantly, upon the spot, ani follow the matter up vigorously., The labit is pro- ductive of unpleasantuess sometimes, and it may eause some disenchagtments, but it has its advantages, aad they are not smail. : Auother characteristicof the country is shown n ITS RAILWAY VOCABULARTY.

But as there were pooking- offices for_the stage-coaches which used to run between all the towns aad through nearly all of the villages of Eucland, the term hod becone fixed in the minds and upon the lips of this na~ sion_of travelers. So it was with the guard and his pame; aud when the railway-carriace supvlanted, or rather drove out, the staze- coach, the ola names were given to the new things, and the continnity of life was not com- pletely broken. The railway-carriaes ure even now often called coaches.
