Loxmoy, June 5.—Iowever meagre Ameri- cans way be in their respect for the living. they always do the fair thing by the dead. We do vt monumentalize our eminent departed with aaything like Europcan gorzeousness, but to grest and lowly alike we wive the loveliest of «&vivan surroundings for the long sleep of death. Hence the wonderment, not to say horrur, of the wandering American at the compact way in which the Old World crowds her fllustriousdead together, and ac the familiar mdifference of the living to ail e bas been drilled into boiding so eacred. In nations where it is hard times for e living to snateh from fate tieir daily bread, ‘the dead must ueeds be content with.a stoue, and not mind being walked over. THE AMERICAN MATRON in Westminster Abbey moves along corridors uud over the bones of the mighty departed in a ftate of badiv-suppressed dismay. Used to walking reverently around the grave of even the bumnblest of mortality, to see herself and brood actually treading upon the most majestic of tombs Is more to her than paganism. Op a second tour of the Abbey § was in the train of such a dumne,—a fairly-read;” intelligent Jady. brim full of reverence, ove who at home wor- ships her minister and pays regular respectful Sunday evening visite to the local cemetery. She will uever forget her jaunt through West- minster. Her running fire of horror came out n undertoues in this wise: “Auna dear, you are sianding rirht on Ben Jouson.” * James, my son, don’t straddle over Macaulay in thet heathen fashion.” * Mr. Jones, you ouehi to be ashamed to step on poor Charivs Dickens.” * Mercy on e, here 1am walking across Dryden,” aud the miserable ‘Womau sat square down on a bench above the vones of the first Archbishon of Canterbury, and gave up trying to be even half-way respect- ful in a minster whose every passing stone is o slub covering somebody who onee made the world wonder or tremble. PICK OUT THE UNPRETENTIOUS TOMES. For the benefit of those who are doing Eu- rope with cometjvelocity, and who have allotted, sav, half au bour to Westminster, one instrue- tiou may be pertinent. Waste no time in the dospection of the grand pieces of movumental work. They are almost iuvariably the tombs of titled Nobodies, biz cuourh folks in their day, but woefully insigniticant in the pit: shrinking light of fame's post mnortem. Skip the porreous mausoleums. They cover mostly the retuaius of Maj. This, Admiral That, or Earl T'othier, who accompanied the Jameses, Edwards, or Georges in their wars.

The grandest bones in Westminster do ot altogether huve us much space and show as those of some pompous prebendary; the Poets’ Corner has o Jess area than s given many a Baronet. Even Mai. Audre, hune as a spy, makes as brave s shovwing in Westminster Abbey us Sbakspeare. A PIOCS SACRILEGE. The most ridfculous feature of Westminster rezulatios is the holding of “divine”? services within its wails daily. " Every morning and afternuou the quiet visitors, ruminsting amid the noblest collection of human greatuess en- tombed beneath a single roof 1u the world, are hustled by a lot 0f verwers cither out of doors cutirely or up to certain altars’ where 2 monot- onous serviee is owlishly futoned. There are some fools who like this sort of thing, and go aome aua tell how fortunate toey were at being “ in Westminsier Abbey during a beautiful service.” Probably it is for the bene- fit of such amiuble asses that the custom is perpetuated. But the religivus ood of it to people of senge is not evident. If ponderiag at the tombs of John Wesley, Milton, and bun- dreds of cther such,will not arouse the religious nature of the visitor, he is not likely to et any spiritual good out of being driven up to hear a drowsy choir chant stereotyped litanies. Of couree, all salvation cannot be crowded into Bunday. But people desirous of saving their comtnonplace souls week-days ought to £o where the immortal dead ure not so omni- present. .. TWO DOZEN THEATRES. From an abbey to the theatres is not so ample a jump as might at first scem. England honors the stuge even at Westminster. Shakspeare, buried elsewhere, has nevertheless a good mon- ument lere, and Davia Garnick, bis wite, with other actors and play-writers, are 2s spugly, it not as pretentivusly. mumed i the Abbey as the dousthtiest Duke of them all.

The acting in 1o sense at the best theatres ap- proacies the Freneh standard, and averages jo- 1vrior to the better erade in the United States, When Buucicault told me in Chicago that Lon- Gon actors were * a Jutof duflers,” I attributed the statement to indigestion, or 2 sty endeavor to curry the comb of national pride in the smooth direction.

London, having had an Elizabethan revival in architecture and 8 Queen Anne revival in furni- ture, has gone further Dback, and is seeking to work up a mild sort of Greclan revival in dress. The antique is the rage, and one fashion-leader has held a reception at which all the lady-guests were attired in as near an appearance to old Greelan costumes as their timid hearts and more or less peculiar auatomies would permit. i The Grecian simplicity of hair-dressing is tyrounieally the vogue. At operas. aud st theatres where bonnets and hats are prohibited, as well as at soirces and routs. the hair of bud- ding belle and bouncing downswrer is alike freo from rolls, pufls. wads, and trizzes. It is combed uniformly sleck down to the face ana bunched in a cosy knot _just over the nape of the neck. Plain as it would appear to be, it is bewitchingly attractive. It makes a homely woman winning, aud a pretty one demurely rascally to look upon. Gipgox, EUROPEAN GOSSIP. A DEAD WOMAXN’S ARMS, New Orteans Pccavune's Pari Letter.

It is not the first titne a mechanical trumpeter has been shown to the public. Maeizel, the invent- or of the metronome, exhibited a trumpeter at Vienna in 1509, bus it was not successful. The sound in that automaton was produced by pipes within the figure, the srrangement being a reduction in minjature of that which gives the trumpet-stop oceasionally employed with great effect in church organs. In 1880, Van Qeckelen vroduced a clarinet-plaver. Musical automata of other kinds have been freauently exhibited. Oue fnventor in France arrauged in his instru- ment pigs, which squealed in different notes, aund he produced a scale or an air by pulling in the required order the tails of the several pigs. In Charter-House Square an amatcur has collected 2 very pumerous as- semblage of gutomata. Many musical autom- ata bave been contrived by clock-makers, and the greatest perfection has been arrived at in this class of work, for the reason, doubtiess, that iu the production of musical Sound there Is notltug cssentially human. as in drawing, for Instance, like Zoe, or in playing whist, like Psvche. .
