How the * Naturally Selecting ’ Prin- ciple of Snobbishness May Give Us a Peerage. A British Social Philosopher Opens Glit- tering Vistas to the F. F. U. 8. A. Blackwood's Ifagazine for November. Compelled by an ‘inexorable destiny to wan- der over the earth’s surface, I have cver found myself sharing, to an {mmense desree, in the aspirations of my fellow-creatures to develop into new ond higher conditions, and, at the risk of appearing presumptuous, have not hesi- tated to offer them freely such counsel and adviceas my vivid imagination and extended ex- perience might sugeest. Hitherto J must con- fess that my cfforts have been utterly unavail- ing; but, far from belng discouraged, I feel constrained to present a young and risiog nation —destined, according to the great Liberal prophet of Great Britain, ot no distant date to eclipse the glory and absorb the wealth of our own island realin—a scheme which my recent observations of thelr tendencies and desires bas led me to claborate, in the hope that its merits will at once be recognized, and that, if they are unable to adopt it in its entircty, they will de- rive some himts which may prove of real and substantial benefit. It is only natural that, how- ever cosmopolitan the sympathies of an English- man may be, they should turn’ most readily to - IS AMERICAN COUSINS; and that, tinding”himself a prophet withous lionor in his own country,—where people are far too well satisfied with their own opinfons, and with the couditions which surround them, to think they need assistance from anybody,—he should appeal to that more respective, progress- ive, and -cnligtened branch of the Anglo-Saxon family, where new ideas arc eagerly entertaioed, new tendencies are raoidly developed, new de- sires constantly expressed, old problems solved, and thnc-worn habits of thought discarded. To this fresh’ and promising commuuity, then, I address myself, in the conviction that nothing Iean suggest will startle them, and that what may seem to the bigoted and intolerant mind of old-fashioned society absurd or impracticable, will commend itself to so enterprisine and vig- orous a racc as a simle and sensible scheme of social evolution. Itis even possible that the stolid intellect of Europe, unable to discriminate between jest and earnest, may regarditasa feeble attempt at satire. Such an insinuation Ipassby with contempt. 1 have never meb an American who could deny that, while firmly maintaining that the theory was“sound whicl, in the beautiful language of the Constitution, proclaims that all men were born equal, bLe was conscious practically that, physically, morally, ‘and intellectually men are born extremely un- equal. In fact, 1n 0o country have I ever met a man of any race who did not feel HE WAS VELY UNEQUAL. The same idea is clearly entertained by the higher class of monkeys, and may be observed manifesting 1tself in a.greater or less degree throughout the animal kinzdom; and it would not be dillicult for eminent scientific men to prove that it must even in a moditied form de- scend to the oyster. 1may here remark inci- dentally that I do not think the attention of nat- uralists has been sutficientty directed to psycho- lotzical evidences of this kind, by which, apart from a1l material proof whatever, the ascent of man from the lowest formsof animal lfe may be clearly traced. I regret I have no time to enter upon this subject more fully here; but it has been necessary Lo allude to it, because, while the *“instinct of inequality forms the basis of the glorious modern theory in rezard to the origin of the buman race, it is also the basls upon which my new method of soclal evolution is cou- structed. Iu a word, to make my meaning more clear, as the *instinct of inequality ” wmust be the fouudation of the Instinct of evolution, without this instinct in the oyster it would never have been possible for the *“fittest” to survive and evolve. Evidently It is the result of an aspiration on the part of the oyster to rise above its inferior or *‘unequal condition. To usea social rather than a scientiflc term, itis mantfest that we owe our development tothe inaate snob- bishness of the oyster. The theory of evolu- tion, reduced to its social expression, ia there- fore TIHE THEORY OF SNOBBISHNESS; [ and it is from this principle—the grandest, the noblest, and the most powerful that has been implanted in the human breast—that we derive our origin; it is through it mizhty influence that we maiutain our existence; and it is upon its ““lateot potencies *? that we base our hopes for the future. Implanted more strongly in the Anglo-Saxon race thuo in any other people on ' the face of the globe, it has carried the British nation to the pinnacle of greatness and prosper- ity which it now occupies, thouzh the sentiment is evidently weakeninz of late under the delete- rious influénce of a prominent leader in-the Lib- eral party; but if is developing 2 majesty in the United States which should cause a thrill of pride in the breast of every Enwiishman when he recognizes how worthy the people of America are proviug themselves of the noble heritage they have received from the mother country. Never yet bave they thoroughly realized how much they owed to toose Pilgri Fathers,whose hearts throbbing and veins palpitating with the life-sustaining, *“naturally selectiog’® principle of snobbishness seleeted, in obedience to its promptings, a noble and virgin continent upon which their descendants mlght - evolve into social conditions devied to them in their own countrs. It is to this principle I now wish to apoeal for the parpose of dirccting it, if possi- ole, to a practical object. Tuoumerable evidences confirm my conviction that, no matter what a constitution drawn up to 1peet exigencies which iave passed away wmay say politically, soually the principle of equality 1S DOOMED IN AMERICA. In all the larger cities there is a class which openly calls itself, and is openly called by others, the aristovracy; and the more modern members of it are endeavoring as much as pos- siblc to adopt the wmunners and customs of aristocracics in other countries, to contract matrimonial afliances with them, and to bow down before them. They put their servants into livery, and emblazon the panels of their car- riages with heraldic devices in which coronets and other iusignin of nobllity, and even of rovalty, may often be detected. “Some have purchased property abroad and call themselves by its well-sounding foreizn name; others bave adopted the names of noble lamilies, and some have even gone 50 far as to assume foreign titles, which they use when abroad, and with the crests and armorial bearings of which even at home they stamp their note-paper and deco- rate their dinner menus. The demand has be- come so extended in this_ direction that two Deralds’s offices have actually been opened in a fashionable part of New York to meet it, where coats of arms, crests, and mottoes may be ob- tained to suit’ the name, taste, rank, and pedi- gree of the purchaser. A directory called the “Elite Directory,” bound in purple leathier with gilt_edges, bas been published, and not long ago a newspaper was started in Chicago called the Jmperialist, advocating the formation of an aristocracy and suggesting names for titles which should be adopted. As far back as 200 years azo so great a philosopher as John Locke Tecognized this latent tendency in the constitu- tion which be drew up for the Royal colqny of South Carolinz, one of the provisions of which ESTABLISHED A HOUSE OF PEERS, composed of three orders of nobility, severally entitled landeraves, palatines, and caciques,— the landgraves to _rank with Euozlish Earls, the palatines with English Viscounts, and the caciques with Enelish Barons. This lasted three or four vears, and the last landgraviate family has only become extinct i our own times. This spirityas I bhave shown, still descends (as it oua'ht.) ith even greater force o our own day and through all classes, 50 that every one who can, bowever remotely or obscurcly,” lay claim to any military, political, or judicial title is proud to be‘addressed by it, while his fellow- citizens meet his wishes in this respect as'liber- ally as possible. Thus even porters and cabmen are called zentiemen, and laundaresses and shop- women washladies and salesladies. In the same manner, though orders are not permitted in the United States, the men and officess of the mili- tia regiments decorste. their; breasts witth Free- Mason, Odd-Fellow, Knight-Templaf, Fenian, and other badges, which present a iruly martial appearance, and give the wearer anairol having sccn much serviee. -7 > . The Congress of the United States, recogniz- ing this upward tendency on -the. part of the American soldicr, passed-a_epecial act after the cloze of the Civii War authorizing all the .field ofticers of the army ‘of the Union, honorably mustered out of the service, to claim the ‘title and wear the uniform of their rank—a privileze which, as the courts of Europe are welf aware, has not becn left to slamber by such American diplomats as have been entitlzd to it. 1 have felt hoth eucouraged and edified By the spectadde of Gen.

The sternness with which be insists. upon socfal to which he can lay uo claim, being accorded t0 him,—the grace With which he ac- cepts the homage of those whom he considers hia actual inferiors.—the ease with which be adapts himself to the babits aud customs of the aristocracy of each country he visits, with a proud consciousness that it is the class to .which be instinctiyely belongs—the quick recog- nition by tbat class that he is entitled to take his place among them as one of Nature’s {fittest,” and to look down, 88 they do, upon those whom she has not *‘naturally selected” for socinl eminence—the gratification of his own countrymen at the homors which nave been showered upon this.early but magnificent prom ise of their future aristocracy—all this, I say, is eminently encouraging, but it only proves how imperative the necessity has become for constructing a system which shall place matters on an assured basis, and deprive carpers and skeptics of an excuse to taunt those whose irre- pressible social ampitions prompt them to 2s- sume prerogatives which may not_yet lezally beloug. to them, but which, in obedience to the dictates of the great principle to which they owe their origin, they feel compelled ~to appropriate.

Why should such meritorious efforts at. evolution be sncered at _in the case of this dis- tinguished oflicer when they are universally commended on the part of the ovster? Truly bas it beeu remarked that_scientific men arc as illogical as theologians. Go onwards and up- wards, then, on the bright and glorious road that leads to social emincuce, Grant, Badeau, Pierrepont, worthy represeatatives of the noble race from which you buyve sprune: be not check- ed by the scofling of the low-born and envious in your aspirations after precedence, decora- tions, and_pedigree; the time will come when all mien will recognize in you, and others who are even now [following “your cxample, the ploncers of a NEW AND MIGHTY SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, whose benign and -mellowlng influence will ul- timately extend, if it nas not already reached, to the gulches aud canons of Calitornia. It being clear, then, that withous soclal am- . Vition there can be no social evolution,—and It being abundantly evident from the'illustrations I have adduced that the sentiment of sociul ambition hus of late years been acquirivg over- ‘whelming and uacontrollable foreein the Amer- ican breast,—it follows that the moment is rip for aspecific direction to be imparted to. it. Unless this is done there is a danger of a catas- trophic period, accompanied by social und po- litical shocks, which may cause great disaster and even loss of lfe; whereas, il my plan is followed, there will be no more difiiculty in \rnus}‘ormmg a democrac{ into an aristocracy than“there wus in changinz a monkey into a man. It will be a smooth, easy, and natural process, very similar to that of rubbing off your toil. What, in fact, are the poor, the low-borz, and the unedueated of society but its tail? Very well, then, if you want to evolve, you must rub jtoff. Nothing can be more seli-evident than that; the question is how to.do it without producing irritation. 1t is inhereut to ¢he process of transformation that it is rather painiul; no amount of salves or caustics can prevent this; the problem is to have as little soreness as possible. Now it is natural that any attewipt to form a new couche sociaié will leave the class that is left out very sore; there- fore it will be nccessary to discover u saive which may allay the irritation. The salve I propose is a political one. What do American aristoerats want to do with politics? Absolutely nothing! They wont dirty tneir fingers with politics even'now; how much less should they do 8o when they are the possessoss of real titles! In all old aristocratic European coun- tries the aristocracy isu part of the political machinery; hence it is constantly brought into unpleasant collision with the masses, and is more or less unpopular, wilile it holds its posi- tion by a precarions teuure. Now, in America it would be quite diffcrent. Here I propose to construct in the first instance A PURELY SOCIAL ARISTOCRACY, ‘having no special political rights or privileges. What need they care about political recognition at Washington if they are recognized socially by all the crowned heads of Europet In tact, it might be advisable that one of theirrules should preclude any member of Congress or politician from belonging to their order, though this might be relaxed in favor of ex-Presidents and ex-Ministers to foreign courts, who would give satisfactorv proofs of their baving achieved ereat social success and manifested a profound contempt for the politics of their own country. ‘This entire exclusion from the arena of politics, while a neccssary measure in ipitiating the or- der of aristocracy in Awmcrica, would of neces- sity only be temporary. The frreststible forces at work would finally, as will appear later, sweep away all obstructions raised by the democracy to the overwhelming development of the aristocracy in every dcpartment of life, political and fiuancial as well as social; pat the merit of the process consists in the fact thatit would be entirely ur{nccompanicd by any open or active effort on thtir part. Thus beautifully do the forces of Nature do théir work when they are properly dirccted. It well known to scientific men that the most dangerous and disagreeable moment in the process of evolution is the first; ce a’est que le premier pas qui coute. It is then that the animal first feels those well-known shooting pains; and, though they are accompanied by a cercain fecl- ing of gratification arisine from the proof they convey to his mind that he has been a specimep selected for the purpose on account of his fit- ness, still we have the most aistinct testimony to the fact that the creature is often in grent doubt at this trisis whether ** the game is worth the candle.” Whatever scoffers may say to the contrary, there is nothing more clearly estab- lished than this,—so much so that many ani- mals can be proved to have shown hesitation in the earlier stages of the process. The ornithorhynchus paradozus, or duck-bill platypus, is an illustration “of this; and the mivute observation ' by , naturalists of the men- tal structure of the aye-aye of Madagascar proves clearly that had it not been for an hereditary tendency to vacillation in that animal he would now have been a perfect ape, instead of being oblized to take retuge in the length of his inger-nafls. Many other animals in the same way haye thus stuck in the middle, and through a certaiu fecbleness of aspiration have been unable to advance, while o fetreat to their former condition, where they were much more comfortable, is cut off from them for itis also established beyond a question that, how- ever much you may desire it, YOU CANNOT EVOLVE BACKWARDS. The same rules hold zood morally which hold good physically. Indeed it is clear that this must be 8o, as recent investigations by scientific men’ make it absolutely cértain that mind is fluent or gaseous matter, and that matter is condensed and solidified mind. From which it follows that it s not im- possible that while ‘the social evolution 1 am about to svgmest is ir progress, certain physical modifcations may occur simul- taneously. These, as I have remarked, may be accompanied by shooting pains in the regions about to undergo change. This change wilt necessarily be in accordance with the dominant social aspiration, and therefore aristocratic in character; thus the nostrils will become thiuner, and more pink and distended; the ears smaller and more delicately lobed; the eycbrows more perfectly arched; defective features will be mod- ified 8o as to assume a more lofty and classical type; hands and feet diminished in size, and changes of form imparting greater elegance and clasticity to the frame will occur. Perbaps 1 may be too bold in saving all this will occur. At the same time we have a long train of uninter- rupted testimony to prove that if nature be cou- sistent with berself they must occur, therefore Ifecl bound to give this warning to my sym- pathetic reader; but Ido not imugine that the prospeet of such a contingency, even though it may be painful, will check his noble ardor to rise. Still I would suggest as a preliminary measure that several secret coulerences be held among those who, after. reading this essay, feel instinctively drawn together by a common ap- preciation of the truth and of "the sagacity and research by which it iz inspired. These will be the elite, the very creme de la creme of society. The majority, unable to detect profound wisdom in aform which appeals almost exclusively to the trained mind of science, and prejudiced against it by their religious bizotry, will turn it to ridicule; but it is not those I seek to reach. The “ fittest * will at once respond, and It is by them that this great movement will be inaugu- rated. They will ““selcet * with av unerriog in- stinct those who should, in the first. instance, receive titles. They will, in fact, be intuitively prompted by nature as to the selection—from the *“Blue Blood of Philadelphia, from the “Culture " of Boston (Beacon street), from * The F. F. V" (first families of Virginia)#from Canal street, in New Orleans (right-band side); from the descendants of the great Patroons of New Amsterdam, the Knickerbockers of New York, and the dwellers in Second avenue; from all that is ancieut, sacred, cherished, and aspi in whe suppressed aristocracy of the land—wi come the responce of the ‘“fittest.” They will then form themselves into a secfet socicty,— for no profaue or vulgar eye may dare to pene- trate into the early throes of this period of gestation; but one of their first acts must. be to collect funds among themsclves for THE PURCHASE OF TITLES. As a general thing, it will be founa preferable that each man purchase ‘his own title; but there may be cases where it would be advisable to ussist to_do s0. 'These may be pro- cared from the Republics of San Maring and Andorre, from the Prince of Monaco, and from the five Counts Palatine of the Holj. Roman Emplre, at rates corresponding to -the varions deerces of impecunfosity “of those who are entitled to confer therp. The Pope, and several of the small Germdfn Princes, and various Governments of Europe, will bestow’ them for other services besides those which are purely pecaniary; nor will it be impossible for distin- guished American families to prove their noble descent_sufficiently to warraut their belng nc- knowledged us rightful possessors of titles which they may claim by inheritance. We all koow that the representatives of more than one Brit- ish noble family are now simple citizens of the Untted States. All this would be remedied by the scheme which I propose. After a certain npumber of titles- had thus been confidentially secured, the right should be obtained by the Amerlean Ordcr. 25 soon as it was properly con-, stituted, of conferring them. This may be ac- complishied in the same way as the transmission of the power of the ordination of bishops depends upon the validity of the -source from which it is derived. This power could not properly be contested if it was obtained from the Pope, and it is not unlikely that Leo XIIl. will ere long find himaelf so much in need of support that he would be zlad to conciliate a youny and powerful aris- tocracy by granting thém this privilege. When this has been secured, and the Order numbers 200 members, it will formally constitute jtself in secret stssion, and organize the four {uuda- mental Institutions upon whicn its areatness and power will finully depend. These are the two “Colleges of the Order,’”? the * Syundicate of the Order,” and/the *Tribunal of tite Order.” The collezes of the Order will consist of the * Herald's College? sud the * Electoral Coliege.” TIHT AERALD'S COLLEGE will be composed of such members of the Order as, according to rules, which will necessarlly be framed for the guidauce of the Order, thall be ouly quatified. The functions of the Heralds’ College will be to supervise A1l matters connuct- ed with armorial bearings. pedizrees, orders of precedence, cte.; it will repors upon alli- ances which it is desirable should be. promoted with, the members of foreign aristocratic families, and decidc upon the titles which, in the interest of the Order, new members should agsume. In all matters of taste the Heralds' College should reien supreme. ‘Thus, for in- | stunce, any one attainiug the rank of Marquis, and desiring to call himself the Marquis of Mauch Chunk, would be compelied to abide by the veto of the College, if that body, as 1s most probable, refysed, on dsthetic grounds, its as- sent to tne title. It would proovably be found convenient that a list of titles comnposed chicily of sonorous and_high-sounding names, such as Narragnusett, Tuscarors, Onondaga, apd Ash- tabula, should be kepe at the Herulds’ Collese for new members to choose from. The elabora- tion of the rules and regulations, tke code of ciiquette in matters of dress, in forms of salu- tation, and of styles of address in ofllcial and private correspondence will fall into the Heralds? Collegze department. The slovenly manners of the present -day, even {n old anstocratic countries, are an evidence how much a supervision of this kind is ueeded; and we have the universal testimony of travelers to the fact that nowherc s there a'race ‘more formed by nature to inaugurate a movement of this sors” than the younger branch of the Anglo-Saxon family; their polite consideration of the fair sex In cars and omnibusses and other places of public resort, aud their chivalrous instincts in matters of single combat, esoecially in the Soutl, are suflitient evidence that a code of honpr mizht be revived under tue auspices of the Heralds’ College, to which all Europe would speedily be compelled to conform. The functions of TOE ELECTORAL COLLEGE are more simple; it would be composed only of the oldest and most trusted members of the nobility, whose business it would be to_discuss the clizibiiity and vote upon the admission of new members. As the stability aud dienity of the order must maluly depend upon the - char- acters of the men who cominsc it, it s manuest that the functions of the Electoral College are of the utmost importance. This body ulone will be vested with the Papal authority to con- fer titles to which L have already alluded. The **8yndicate of the Order” is, in other words, its Fmancial Committee. As the power and influcnce of every aristocracy in-every coun- try must depend rather upon its wealth than anything else, and as land is too common in the New World to add very much to the social posi- tion or diunity of its possessor, it is of the first importance that cvery member of the aristocracy should uot only be enormously rich, but that kis money should be well and safely invested. As, however, it would be bencath the dignity of a nobleman personally-to attend to money mat- ters, or to be engaged in any other business than that connected with the chivairic pursuits of the Order, provision for the acquiring and preserving bis wealth has to be made otns wite. I may here say that members of the a tocracy will be allowed by the rules of the order, as laid down in the Herald’s College, to enter the army, the navy. and the Church,—the art of first kiliing oeople and then saving their souls being onc in which all uristocracies have gver been proficient. At the same time it would e BENEATH THE DIGNITY of an aristocrat to enter any denomination for the latter purpose, unless therc was a good prosoect of his being able to minister to the spiritual welfare of souls in the capacity of a Bishop. In all matters, whether they be con- dected with people’s souls or bodies, the die- nity of his Order must be his first considera- tion. Therefore, while he may bein the army or nary, and receive pay withoit loss of dignity —for hie receives it from the Government, aod not from any one individual; and the function of personal combat is a noble one—under no circumstances couldhe be a doctor, for he would then have to receive pay from an individual, and the function of saving life for pay has ever Jeen considered by all orders of aristocrats o ignoble. Itisnot the same with the Church, for b as I baye suid, be may risc to a position of great authority and diznity, and be receive his pav, not from an individual, but from mas3es of individuals coliectively. Nevertheless, it is not Jikely.that many members of the order will adopt this call- ing, por is it desirable that they sbhould. No objection exists to their engaging in artistic, literary, or reientific pursuits, provided they are not paid for their labors. In order, then, that their riches may continuaily increase without 3:’ efforts on their part, the Syndicate of the er RECOMES NECESSARY. Tts composition is peculiar. In former times, as is well known, the buffoon and the domestic chaplain playea an important part in tho estab- lishment of every gregt noble. It has, for ohvious reasons, been founa no longer necessary to keep private buffoons, and even domestic chaplains are rare; but I would sugzest, for reasous which [ will presently explain, that the latter sbhould form part of every American " pobleman’s establishment, while I propose to substitute for the private butfoon an individual, whom I will call the “ PRIVATE MONEY-GRUB.” Straonge as it _may seem, the principal operators on the Stock Exchange, the dircctors and con- trollers of the railway, telezraph, and steamship lines of the country, the Presiaeuts of banks and insurance companies, the leading merchants, the magnates of finauce, in fact, would all cagerly scek the 'Fositiun of private ironey- grubs, for it would bc the only avenue throuch which they could hope ultimately to become themselyves ennobled. The private money-grub, after being allowed by the Syndicate enouzh to live upon, would have bis- carnings divided into two equal parts. Half would go to the noble- man to whose houschold he was dttached; the othier hali would be laid Ly for his own benelit uutil it reached the amount necessary to qualify him to be a candidate for the nonors of nobility. By tins ingenfous method it is plaic that, while the aristocracy keep themselves removed from the defiling touch of commerce and business sencrally, they would indirectly exercise o most E.uwnrlul iufluence over the finance of the na- ion. In addition to the money-grub and the do- medtic chaplain there would also be attached to every noble family the > family connsel.” The three would form a triumvirate essential to the maintenance und well-being of efery uobléman’s establishment above a certain ravk;"and would serve as checks upon one apother. Thus the domestic chaplain might advise the money-gruo that a certain tinancial proceeding was morally right when it might be necessary for- the family counsel, who knew the law, to shof that it in- volved legal penaltics: or, on the other hand, the counsel might advise a course which was le- gally safe, which the domestic chaplain misht show to be attended with moral difficaitivs. Here the money-grub, in his turn, would op- erate as o check on the chaplain, as he would be empowered to reduce the salary of the laiter just In proportion as he ralsed ‘any such dilli- culties, while both counscl and chaplain would bave an interest in secing that the money-grub did not cheat his noble master, as their only chance of reaching the lower ranks of the no- bility would depend upon the fidelity with which they performed this service. By TINS SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL STYSTEM mopey would be made under the sanction alike of the law and of the Church, and fraud be -rendered impossible. It is necdless to remark that, as in many cases the family counsel wonld occupy the position of Judge. the rights and private interests of the aristocracy would be as- sured in the event of any attempt to attack them by legal proceedings on the part of the democracy. ‘I'he Syndicate of the Order, then, wonld be composed of a certatn number of leading 1nouey- grubs, of eminent family counsel, and, for the purpose of inspiring confidence, of a small sprinkling of such domestic chaplains as were loudest in their professions of personal plety and most cclebrated for their_theologieal pro- ficiency. These members of the Syndicate would; while preserving each pobleman’s for- tune independent, act with a certain harmony and concert, and by skillful combinatious wonld easily be ablo to defeat the schemes of the finan- cial democracy, who as a rule are treacherous 1u their combined operations, and live by plun- dering and cheating each other. A. certain pro- portion of the fortune of each nobleman would nevertheless be placed in 2 common fund, to be used for purposes common to the interests of the - Order,—such as the building of clubs, churches, or theatres, which should be frequent- ed exclusively by the members of the aristocra- ¢y and the untitled friends whom they mizht admit to such privileges. Another part of this fund, to be catled the * dower fund,” would be aevored exclusively to the providine of por- tions or dofs for such danghters oi noblemen as it was thought desirable, for the due propaga- tion and maintenance of the Qrder, shouid con- tract alliances with the forcien noblemen who, heing almost alware mercenary, require as a first conditivn suitable marriage settlements. These would, of course, be graduated accord- ing to the beauty of the young lady, the rank of the proposed bridezroom, aod the advan- tages in point of connbetion _ and _ in- fluence which he had to offer. Such questions would not, however, fall within the provines of the Syndicate, who would simply have to provide the money, but of the Heralds’ College, without whose toncurrence and ap- proval no marrlages among the aristocracy, either at home or abroad, could be contracted. “Uhis is necessary for purposes of physical esolu- “tion, a3 it is of the utmost importance, in order to produce the highest organic results, that the STRAIN OF BLOOD SHOULD DE KEPT PURE. The neglect of this simplc precaution must jo- il vrevent any further development on art of existing aristocracies, who will thus remain in ao tmperfect and rudimentary condi- tion, and finally ozcupy very m the same re Iation to tie aristocravy of America that the Vecdahs of Ceylon, the Bojesmen of South Africa, or tne aboriginal natives of Australia do to the Caucasian rave. [ have taken the trouble to muke calculations, based upon the avalogy of simliar changes in the past, about which uo doubt or mistake is possible, and I find tnat upwards of 2,730,000 years must elapse before Lhis contrast will exist to the marked extent I have deseribed. ‘The chanze, however, will be watched with the oreatest eare and precision by scientific men, who will all ultimately them- selves be comuelled. in ordertoescape this fate, to become American noblemen. T have been led into this slizit digression in order to show how grandaud inspiring is the mission which thie aristocracy ot the New World has before it. It is needless to say that it will be nided in its development by the peculiarly tavorable conditions, both of soil and climate, which arc spesial to the_Western Hemisphere. Whiid the nations of Europe, in obedience to those sanguinary instincts which prove their connection with the ferre natar from which they are descended, are engazed ina tierce and bloody strugzle, trom which it is very doubtful whether the fittest will survive, the Ameriean aristocracy will be peacefully and in- telliwently improving its breed. Carefully avoiding, under the direction of their domestic chaplains, any differences of opinion on matters ot theology, which cau o no way advance the interests of the Order, they will' not feel dis- posed to commit *atrocities ‘on Christian principles, or otherwise check the physical progress of the race, out of regard for its spir- itual welfare. e now come to the fourth aud Jast instito- tion, THZ ‘TRIBUNAL OF THE ORDER.™ Tlis will be composed of the most eminent and learned noblemen duly elected, toxether with a few family coansel who are most eligible for promotion. It will constitute & sort ot Court of Appeal from the Herzld’s Colieze. Before it will be ‘tried the cases of all such noble- men a3 have infrinzed the laws of the Order by assuming honors to which they are’ not en@hled; treating with indifflerence . the rules of . etiquette; conducting themselves in private life or in their intercourse with the democracy in 2 manner un- bevoming their dignity; marryviee or glving in marriage in disregard to the voteof the Heralds’ Colleze, and so forth. It will be a court of ref- crence and arbitration in all cases of dispute be- tween members of the Order, and it will try - money-grubs, family counsels, or domestic chap- lains, Who have proved unfaithful to their trust. ‘Thero will be a scale of pains and penalties in- flicted proportionate to the offense comnmitted, the most severe ot which will be expulsion from the Order, with deprivation of rank and exzom- wmunication from ail social intercourse what- ever. Under uo circumstances will noblemen he permitied to bring lwwsuils amalnst each other before the establislied judicatory of the country. This is partly hecanse it would not comport with their dignity to do so, and parcly because the Judzes, beinz elected by the democracy, and being themselves plebeian, they woulu, except in tne ease case of a family counsel happeniny to be a Judwe. decide upon Democratic principles, which as a rule do not further ther ends of justive. Tue tribunal of the Order would therclore, in serious cases, have recourse to the far safer, more enliatened, and more “expeditions methoa of trial by single combat before a jury of peers, according to the rales thereunto provided. From all this it will be seen that the nobies, while refraining from parsuits -involving the ac- quisition of wealth, or from in any way mixing with the common herd, F WILL BE DY NO MEANS AN IDLE CLASS. Besides Indulging in horse-raciny, yachting, coaching, hunting, and other manly sports they will have three -professiaps open to them fn ad- dition to the domain of drt, scicnce, and litdza- ture; besides which, the two colleges and tribunal will give ample serions occujia- tion to such of their members as’ have the privilege of belouging to these bodics. 1t is desirable that they should travel ex- tensively and speud much of therr timie in soctul intereourse with the aristocracios of other coan- tries. Thev will probabls find life in the coau- try-houses of the British aristocracy especially congenial to their ‘tastes. Here tney will be well received, and there will be »o objection in point of taste or etiquette to tneir protracting such visits indefinitely. It would be considered aduty aod a privilege in England to entertain the nobility of America—a hospitality which the Iatter could return by restoring the fortunes of many poor and decaying families of th British arietocracy by bestowing upon the eldest suons well-portionea daughters. Having no extensive landed possessions, they would probably- not have casiles ju the countrs in which to receive their noble ruests should” they . return their visits; bu: this could be arranzed by a system of palatial hotels, such as already exist. in the councry. These would be five stories high, cor- responding to the ranks of the nobility—Dukes being aceommoanted on the first Hoor, Marquises on the second, and so on. It is probable that the identity of race, language, and religion would create o far closer sympatny and alliance between the aristocracies of England and America than between those of any othier countries, and they could in many ways be mutually beneficial to eaen other. The degradivg tendeucy which now characterizes the British vobility of entering into all kinds of commercial pursuits, mizit then be checked. Inscead of going into the vity and eking out a orecarious aad not very reputable livehhood as a guinea-pig on the boards of questionable corn- panies, the, impecunious: scion of aristocracy would be Ashamed to degrade au order, the American brancl: of whicii was setting an ex- ample of punity, dignity, and thé hisbest senti- ments of honor. Indeed, it is bizhly probable that unmbers of the cadets of noble families in England, finding that the American nobility offered advantages which their own did not, would . APPLY FOR ADMISSION INTO ITS RANKS. Such cases would come under the rules laid down in the IHerald’s College, regulating the ulflnussmn ofapplicants from forcign aristocra- cies, These rules would,be very strict in all matters of peaigree and antiquity of title; thus no British aristocrar whose. creativn did not date back beyond tne first settlementof America would be cligible. No members of aoy French fumily ennobled siuce the revolution of 1779 need apply. Austrian candidates must all prove their sixteen quurterings, and 60 ov. Nor would this rule be relaxed in favorof Royal orex-Royal families. While the Hapsburzs, Bourbous, Guelphs, Hohevzollerns, and even Komano!fs would be elizible, the Bernadoctes of Sweden, and all the Bonaparte family, including the TPrince Imperial, would be excluded. One must draw the line somewhere. I have said that when the order numbered 200 it was in a position to constitute itseif sceretly. When it had oreanized its four institutions, formulated its rules, and completed its social structure in every respect the moment would have arrived when It would beits duty to openly aunounce its existence and enter upon Its func- tlons. When I remgrked that naturalists had observed, in the case of the animal kiugdom, that the first step in _the process of evolution was the most painful, I neclectedt to state that the last moment, though not attended with any physical sulering, is extremely distressing to the moral sensibilities of the aniwal; thus, when the first inan openly and boldly stepped forth eatircly tailless, his modesty and sbyness were so oreat that the first use he made of his newly-awakened intelligence was to clothe him- sell.” *We must not feel instinctively that this could not bhave been otherwise. In the same way philologists have proved that, if "you go back far enough, the syllable cxpressed by our letters *f, i, «,” forms the cowmon root from which all languages bave since evolved, with the exception of the lan- guages of certain savage tribes, who are still entirely naked. This is accounted for by the fact that these people ‘developed from a race of monkeys who were themselves criginally tail- less, and they were therefore spared any shock of this'kinds and 80 their lanzusze, not being based upon the sense of modesty, has b comnion idea of elothing expressed by the it fie 723 its root, as in the case with the Arys Semitic, and Turanian familics. e I asa sc:xz:m.m FACT, 2nd I would venture with ereat ditid e rea i preiii assert that it i3a fact, of which [ am sols gy coverer, that the tailed mockey shoplq evolved a much higner human developmenth, the untailed; and vt this is only iy gharadd to the weil-known law, that life as it eqp: on earth ‘‘gradates” from.very simple lmv highly complex tpyes, frequentiy, howeper' (" its wradation missing a link or taklng tw gias at a time as it were.” In this way tho fag” monkey was partially skipped by aaturs sy bas thus duly developed into the Tower rhald still unclothed man.

Tt is evident that it can only maintaig its exclusive character, and the presticepr whichit can command the respect of the paplie mind, by refusing to open its ranks too rapialy to those who will seek to press ioto them. Evg. lution is specialization ; therefore, in It3 physieal prozress, tiiere are always to be voticed two distinct processes goiug on. side by side~ths development of a tissue, and the wasting of- the parts ut the expense of which it yrows. The game thing will oceur morally; in proportion as the social tissue of the aristouraey deveiops will there be a tendeney on the part of the demoe racy to waste away. In order to prevent this going oa tou fast, it must be meb by ciecking tie too rapid increase of the numbers and ranks of the nobility. ‘Tous, in the first instauce, tne Dichest rank should only be that ot Earl; 1t is probable that it will be found mcst consonans with American tastes to adope English titles, as by toese means the wives aud dacohters will il be styled lady. DBefore enterinz tne ranks of the nobility, money-zrubs, family counsels, and domestic chaplains will be_made Kuights, Baro- pets, and Bishops; then wiil come the ranks of Baroas, Viscounts, and Earls. “Bv_dearces, a3 the order swells in numbers and iis wealth and power inerease, Murquises, Dukes, snd Princes may be cpeated, b oily in small nume bers and at great intervals, promotion 1o tuess ranks being desendent upon their combined physieal aad:morai fitness—a question to be de- cided by the Efecioral Colleze.
