Where Bad Americans Go, A WARNING NOTE—THE AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD— ALSO THE AMERICAN B@Y—PARISIAN NOVELTIES SCANDALS AND SCANDAL-MONGERS, [Olive Logan in Cincinnati Enquirer.) Paris, May, 1399. It ts the same, the very same, old Paris, with Its enticing shop-windows of the boulevards, its Jovely Champs Elysees, Its majestic monu- meats, Its crowded Bois de Boulogne, its mode of existence by which money can round off all ‘the corners of life, its open-air cafes, its bril- Mant picture galleries, its everything the world knows that is FINE AND FASCINATING. It is the most beautiful capital the hands of Man have ever reared. It fs the wickelest city that exists on the face ot the earth. It is a lovely place to visit, either for a week or a twelvemonth. It ts the cruelest spot in the World to pass a lifetime in. And yet the ambition of uncountable num- bers of people In America ts to accumulate enough money to come here and live the rest of-their days! How much wretchedness I have Seen ensue from the effort to accomplish this absurd design it would be impossible for me to ve the least idea of in the space accorded me But if this should meet ihe eye of any misguided creature who has ‘THIS MAD PROJECT In contemplation, I beseech him, as one who loves her kind, to abandon it forthwith. Ihave No object in writing thus, except to tell what [ know to be the truth. The Paris atmosphere Is One not adapted to healthy lungs, which were Constructed by the Creator with the intention of being used. for the most part,in America ‘There is something about it which dissolves the Moral stamina of one not born to It, and makes of him a miserable hybrid, devoid of both the reckless brijiiancy of the French and of the hearty wholesomeness of thought of the Anglo- Saxon. If among Americans abroad there fs one sub- ject of ethics more widely discussed than another, it is that of the conduct and criticism of the American girl in Europe. Is she, or is She not, the Dalsy Miller depicted by Henry damet? Mrs. Hooper, in her TRUTHFUL EXPOSE Of the American Colony in Paris, In the novel called “Under the Tri-Color,” says positively that Daisy Miller exists—she has frequently met her. Ican corroborate this statement to a cer- tain extent. nly the other day an American girl proposed to a party of three other ladies that the guide should be offered the fourth seat in the carriage. I rebelled ‘strenuously. The box-seat beside the driver was the place for the courier. FANCY THE IMPRESSION We should make on arriving at the inn where we Were to stop, with the courier seajed beside us? “Now, that's just your European stuckupness, replied the lady. “I'm American, I am. The Man is as good as we are, ain’t he. if he does have to work for his living?” To argue the point would have entailed a frightful expease Of breath, and probably left her unconvince. But here is another cireumstance which oecur- Ted a nightor two ago, under my observation. 1 could give names of the Individuals engaged in it, it liked, to show their standing at home, their positive exemption from that charge of Vulgarity and lowness in their American origin which is made by some who argue the matter to excuse the Daisy Miller type. I was dining at the table of wealthy Americans here at which several French gentiemea were guests, when about nine o'clock tn the evening two beautiful American girls ran in the dining- room, having walked over from the Grani Hotel to make an evening call. They were both EXQUISITELY HANDSOME, And dressed with a richness no ‘respectable French woman of any age ever uses in ths Street. Their appearance at that hour, alone and unattendea, their announcement that they had taken this long walk because it wassuch a lovely evening, and they felt like having a Walk, made an impression upon the French persons present which may bepretty accurately guessed by the speech a French gentleman made openly, at the table, after their depar- (RAR SCANDAL about every body of so vile a character that it makes your flesh creep, to feel perfectly sure that your own turn is coming the moment your back ts turned. The usual character of these concealing their kine Shig,should be mistaken by outsiders and su t hold another relation. It 1s there that the French thought fs so vile. Human nature among them is really so brutally and CARNALLY DEGRADED that a noble impulse, a bit of honest feeling, never finds any takers with them. And this Scoffing at all that 1s good and true, this at- tributing to the appetite all that is worth believing of the sentiments, gains upon the Americans at last. And idleness, and the Moral-sapping Influence of too much money, have their usual perniclo1s effect upon our countrymen alsoin time, and very likely half these miserable rumors we hear about them have some basis in truth. In England, what- ever it may have been in Sheridan’s day, at present it {3 radically unpardonably vulgar to people. but to talk scandal is to see backs of decent people turn where their faces Were before. But the moment one strikes Paris —this maelstrom of vice where iniquity is so common that one would think {t would be purity which would be scandalized, as be- ing something quite abnormal—one’s ears are assailed by censorlous buzzings of a character beside which the School for Seanda! talk 13 mere tea table chat for provincial old maids. $< —__ 4c, Heep the Mouth Shat. Wise men tell us that it fs a virtue to be able to keep the mouth shut when one has it on the vongue to say something which it would be bet- ter to leave unsaid; but if not so great a virtue it fs; at least, as great a boon to be able to keep the mouth shut when one has netther the in- clination nor the oceasion to say anything con- cerning one’s neighbor or any other person or thing. It is an unquestionable fact that most people sit, walk and sleep with the mouth elther ajar or wide open. This {s very. unbecoming, and a very unhealthy practice. “Some say that it 1s a sign of weakness and lack of courage, We remember a story of a little Indian who came within an ace of having a fight with a big white man, but who never manifested the least fear of his burly antagonist. When after- wards asked how it had happened that he was not afraid, he answered that the paleface kept his mouth open. An article in the New York Judependent, on the subject of dust; declares that persons working in dusty places should breathe through the nostrils, because those or- gas act more or less as alr-sleves or purifiers, and keep from the lungs and throat passages Particles which would be apt to reach them Were the air inhaled through the mouth. This is a fact which people who have weak organs of bod AG should carefully bear in mind. But it is not against dust alone that such persona should protect themselves. Cold wintry air and the chilly winds from the east, which Misit us in the springtime; are quite as injuri- ous as dust. Many a cough has been produced, and many a cough has Inereased to the point of irreparable injury, by the inhalation of cold air through the mouth. The persons wio complain the most about the east winds and ex- patiate the most regarding their evil effects, are generally those who go about with their mouths open. Why, pray, do they not use those natural respirators. the nostrils? Are the no+ trlls not made for the purpose? We know very Well that it is their function to smell, but we know quite as well that to smell 1s no more their only function than {s the officiation a" church the sole duty of a clergyman. The no3- tris are the natural oan through which to breathe. They protect the lungs and bronchial tubes from dust, and temper and soften the chill of those wintry and easterly winds which at times are our only air-food. Keep your mouth shut ts, then, an admonttion of value in more than one case and in more than one re- spect. ‘To open it at unseasonable times for the utterance of speech is discreditable, but to kee) ture.

His face is pock-marked, and 1s not at all prepos- sessing or intellectual.

I think there is a great deal of ungenerous sentiment on the part of men, so much as to be astonishing and incomprehensible, considering: the Lori de nse of superiority which exists in the male bosom from the age of two upward. It. cannot be fear of a new competitor, aud yet it looks ike it. The doctors, a most liberal and highly-cultivated profession, have shown them- selves in this particular not more enlightened than the watchmakers, who have also resisted the entrance of women into their trade with violence; though nobody can know better than medical men how heavily weighed a woman {s, how much more energy she must require to carry her to actual success in a profession, and how certain it 1s, accordingly, that only a few exceptionally endowed individuals can ever enter into those lists which are so fiercely guarded. But why not let convenience and general utility be the rule here as in all other Matters?’ Every new plece of machinery in the manufacturing districts has been mobbed and wrecked at its first introduction, just as the female students would have been'on one occa- sion had the gentlemen of the profession had their way; but the machine, if tt is a good one, always triumphs in the end. ‘My own opinion is that the advantage to women of having a woman doctor to refer to 1s incalculable. To discuss the uliar ailments of their mysterious frames with a man is always a trial and pain to the young. Necessity hardens them as they go on in life, and prejudice, and the idea that women cannot be properly’ cated, or that by expressing a preference fora female doctor they are exposing themselves to be ridiculed as supporters of women’s rigats, keeps many & woman silent on the subjest; bu! nature herself surely may be allowed to bear testimony on such a polut. J cannot imagine it to be desirable in any way that women shout! of personal delicacy eve: But at ali events the qucs- should be doctors or not ts one, it might be supposed, to be argued quite dispassionately. Tuey could not invad? tne profession all at once in such numbers as to swamp it, and as their opponents have always indignantly maintained their want of capacity for its exercise, there could not surely be a doubt in their minds as to the failure of the experiment and their own eventual triumph. But here once more the sen- ument involved ts a greater injury than the fact.

The EVENING STAR, (on Saturday’s a double sheet or elght page paper of fifty-six columns, the size of the New York dailies), is everywhere recognized as the leading newspaper of Wash- ington. With two exceptions only, i has the largest circulation of any daily paper pudlished south of New York, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY. Every issue of THE STAR ts carefully read net only by the citizens of Washington and ad- Jacent cities, but by the throngs of strangers constantly visiting the National Capital on business or for pleasure, (and who constitute, in a very large degree, the purchasing popula- tion of every State and Territory in the Unton), thus making it for most purposes THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. Its influence as an agent of publicity has in- deed practically no limit within the boundaries ofthe country. The best evidence of this ts the number of new advertisewents it printed inthe year 1879, which reached 20,636, averaging from 1,700 to 2,000 per month in the busy season!! These figures include only the sub- Ject of the advertisement, and not any change of the matter, which, in some instances, is made daily, and, although a new advertisement in fact, is not counted but once, instead of 310 puo- lication dates, The advertising books are open to the inspection of advertisers to verify this statement, or an affidavit of its truthfulness will be submitted.
