In this burlesque Mr. Dixey imitates Mr. Irving’s eccentricities of ~olee and manner.

Robert Laird Collier in the Chicago News. Ail in all French servants are the very best anywhere to be found in Europe. In short, they have all the characteristics of Ideal ser- vants. They are capable, willing, industrious, honest, facile, amiable and handy. They are never servile. They never cringe and never humiliate you by humiliating themselves, They have picturesque tongues, but remembér that the tongue of the master isas romantic as that of the valet. Everybody in France lies in a poetic way, and nobody means anything by it. Usually social lying is a courtesy of inter- | course; it is done in the interest of good feeling. You never expect a French servant to tell you the truth, and little does it matter. The French servant tells you a lie grac and in terms | of high breeding, or, even, of ceremonious defercnee,and the very lying puts you on good. easy ferms, But ‘the French ‘servant of inative tongue has the most prosaic and ematic fingers, He never steals. ‘Then thing, and takes ie y of his occupations. He is at home in the kitchen, can serve as valet de chambre, will sweep, make beds, serve at table or travel as a body se be as familiar ade or as deferential as a courtier, He nd acitizen, and so he is your en he hires ‘himself out as your servant he accepts the place with good. heart and uses the manners and the speech of servi- nd addresses you always in the third I’say the French are the est servants in the worl An English household runs two servants. It is commonly overrun with servants An Eng- lish family of the same means and style of liv- ing will ‘keep twice as many servants as an American family and three times as many as a erman family. The prime reason of this fact is that the English lve in their homes more than Americans and Germans, and they enter- tin more in their homes. They have little so- cial life, almost no social recreations, and so co to their homes and to each other's homes for all their entertainments. English servants are traight path, and to ccustomed that they get befogged and ased if they step aside to make other paths for theirteet. A cook is a cook, and a housemaid is ahousemaid. A foot- man’ is molded by his duties into a footman. And molded he is. “A footman and coachman he lives and dies. The church catechism must have the credit or discredit for this universal automatic life. English people are taught by their national feligion “to be content in that Station in life whereunto they are called.” Let us take an upper-middle class family in London, or say in Leicester. in the heart of the midlands, as a representative family. This family will have an income of from $3,000 to 5,000, This family will keep one or more horses and one or more male servants. Such @ family will live in a house—usually owned by the family—situated some distance from the center of the city, and standing on its own grounds of an acre or less. There will be trees and ‘plantations,’ well-kept lawns and flower-beds. The house will be plain outside and in. If @ horse be kept there will be only one min perhaps, though often an indoor man- servant anda boy. The boy is an inestimable prize. He is worth his weight in gold. In the morning he brings in coal for the grates; he cleans ail the silver and the knives and forks; sists in laying the breakfast table; he tak: hot water tothe dressing-rooms; he may act as let to any gentlemen guests, He’ is the ‘chore boy’ for cook and man and maid. He tends the door. He ‘tidies up’ to “wait at lunch. He goes into town to do errands, and even may do marketing aud shoppng. He is as neat as a new ribbon, to serve 5 o'clock tea, and then in his bright buttons and white tice he assists in waiting at dinner. Indeed, he may lay the cloth and serve the dinner for half a dozen guests beside the family. I paid such a ‘buttons’ just £1 ayéar, He was as courtly as & nas falling snow, as «as necessary to ‘the or fresh air in summe: quitted my servic agland.

The mistress must not give out too much wisdom at a time, for the Sinallest modicum of it will be appropriated. She can roast a joint as no cook on earth except an English cook can roast a joint. ull her vegetables, because the E have spoiled their vegetables from time imme- morial. She can make a tart and cook game, In short, is what most English advertise for, when they have occasion to do so, ‘a good, plain She does nothing but cook, unless it is ‘d upon that she shall, ina small family, assist the housemaid with’ the chamber work. A good, plain cook is paid from $60 to $100 a year. = The work of he can spoil lish always: lish servants never over- . It is rigidly defined and strictly ad- hered to. It Js annoyance in an English household that this is true, for often certain work goes undone for the reason there is no one ‘whose place’ it is do it. In Ger- many, France and this country servants will turn thetr hands to almost anything, but not so in England. It is deemed derogatory to do another's work, und one gets accustomed to hear, ‘It is not my work,’ and the work goes un- done. There are two sides to this. We do not puts blacksmith to mend one’s watch, and per- haps a maid of all work is good at none. Eng- lish servants as a rule do well what they under- take to do. ‘The relation between master and man, between mistress and maid, would be toan American— T confess it alway was to me—irksome, It is an unnatural, restrained and forbidding relation. ‘The servants are held at arm’s length, and thelr servility is universal. ‘Sir’ and ‘mam’ are used with every breath, and the raising the hand to the head’ by, the ‘man-servant, and the half accomplished courtesy of the mald-servant are so mechanical and asifdone by machinery that it isoffensive. It 1s very seldom that there is any love lost between the family and the servants, any more than between employers and em: ployes in England. The relation is purely a commercial one—so much work for so much pay. In case of # servant falling ill he or she is almost Instantly sent off to the hospital, re- turning to the family only when able to return toduty. In France or in America the family would feel under a natural and humane obliga- tion, as well as restrained by sympathy and affection, to care for the servant while As compared with America trained servants are axa hundred toone. There is practically no difficulty whatever in hiring most capable and most worthy servants. Their ways are not as our ways and their thoughts are not as our thoughts. They are not pliable and manage- illsuit American domestic ar- rangements and habits, Our familiarity with servants, our inquiry into their family and per- sonal affairs, our calling upon them at all hours and on all oceasions to do any service required would all be resented and would lead to an- archy in the household. They can do, each, one thing well, They will take their places ‘and keep their places, but they have no genius whatever for diversity of employment. [In any country the very best remedy for a bad servant isa good master or mistress, Remember that servants are human; that in this country they are educated and ambitious. Give them the rexpect and consideration due them, and above all teach servants that labor 1s honorable, and that any work well and faithfully done re- ceives recognition anda suitable and sure re- ward.” —+e+—____ Vigils.

The narration by Sarah Winnemuecta of how Indian maidens were wooed and won the Piute nation shows the strictness of that people in re- gard to the mingling of,the sexes. The old chief's daughter gave the following account of a Piute courtship to a Cull reporter a few days ago: “When a girl reaches womanhood and her fumily desire to indicate to the tribe that their daughter has reached the marriageable period, she makes her debut, as you say in English, but the Piute girl comes out in an entirely different way from that adopted by her white sister. Just before she reaches womanhood her grand- mother has especial charge of her. To that old lady, whose years are supposed to have brought wisdom, the girl is given. She schools her in domestic duties, and explains to her the nature and importance of the wifely rela- tiou. The girl then goes with two older fe- male relatives to a teepee, which is a small wigwan, where she remains with theta twenty-five days. During this time she per- forms work which is supposed to be ei en- ing. It consists chiefly of piling wood. Three times a day, at morning, hoon and night, she stacks piles of wood, making fifteen each di Every five days her relations take her to the river to bathe, and at the end of the time she gives her clothing to her attendants and re- turns to the family lodge. Very frequently the wardrobe which she presents her female at- tendants is quite extensive, and is regarded by them as a valuable present. When the young girl has spent twenty-five days in the teepee, she has made her debut into the soctety of her tribe. and that is considered as a public an- nouncement that she is ready to rs 6 “Of course, a pretty, shapely girl is In great demand, just asa belle is in your society. A girl with a handsome face and’ fine black eyes and flowing hair as black and glossy asa raven’s wing, and a willowy, graceful form, is the ob- ject ofa great deal of attention from’ the young men of the tribe, and often of the older men, too. A lovely Indian girl ts as much sought after in her circle as a great beauty is in a London drawing room. But, oh, how different the two kinds of courtsmp are!’ We have no parties in the wigwams to which young folks go and get acquainted and court. “The young men and girls have no theater to attend, and no. long walks home after the play is over. They woods along the river bank. They never idle together In the canoe on the water, plucking lilles and flowers. Although they seem to en- joy much greater liberty to roam &nud wander whithersoever their fancy may lead them, yet they are kept as close as prisoners, Piute court- ship lacks freedom, and yet it is not devoid of that intense excitement that attends lovemak- ing the world ov “You may suppose that the girls and young men would steal out of their lodges of moon- light nights and have clandestine meeti nd woo in that way, but they never dare to Indeed, they never speak together, A word never passes between them. it still @ girl very soon knows when a young man is inter- ested in her. He tries to caich her attention by his horsemanship, or his skill with the bow, or his athletic accomplishments. He rides by her at a furious speed, und returns again an in, In this way he attracts her attention ana if forms her, although he does not speak @ word, that he loves her and would like to marry he! But this does not comprise all of his courtshi At night, when the Indians have retired to thelr wigwams and are sleeping, the young man rises from his bed of leaves and skins and goes to the lodge oceupied by the girl he loves. He enters silently and sits down beside her couch, A lodge is circular in shape, and at night, when the inmates go to bed, they heap brushwood and logs on the fire in the center of the tent, andathen lie down with their feet to- ward the fire and their heads toward the ou side or cireumference of the wigwam. ‘The I dians sleep on leaves and robes, and are cov- ered when sleeping with skins, AS the young man enters the lodge he can sce by the firelight where the young girl is sleeping, and he goes directly to her side, often stepping over other sleepers, and sits down by herbed, It is cus- tomary’ for the young girl to sleep near her grandinother, who is expected to rest lightly after the girl has made her debut, As. soon 1s she the young man enter she awakens the girl, w and goes to where her mother is Sleeping, and lies down beside her. As soon as he does this the young man rises and goes out ntly as h ei ‘ot a word is spoken. He does not touch the girl while he is sitting by her as she sleeps. Her grandmother does not speak a word of en- couragement to him, neither does her mother indicate that he is a welcome suitor. The next night he comes again and. takes up his position beside the girl, and keeps this up for @ long thne. During ‘all the time he is courting in this way he is treated as an absolute stranger by the girl’s relations. They may have enter- tulned him before he began his attention to the girl; her brothers may have hunted with him. and shared the game with him, but when he once begins to woo the girl all familiarty and friendship ceases, He is never invited to eat of food prepared by the family of the girl, and her brothers never offer him any thing on the hunt. His presence is wholly ignored. If the girl does not like him she tells her grandmother, and when the young man comes again at night, that good old lady rises from her bed, takes a handful of hot ashes from the fire and throws them in his face. That's the mitten, If he persists in his atten- tions und continues tocome again and again, the whole family unite in heaping indignities upon him, but the girl is never a party to this, er brothers and sisters and father and mother throw ashes upon him, dowse him with water, flagellate him with stout switcfes, and drive him from the lodge. Sometimes’ an Indian persists In spite of such assaults, and goes again and again tothe tent where 'the girl is sleeping. Sometimes his perseverance wins her heart, but not often, “If the girl likes him and 4s willing to marry him, then she tells her frandmotier, who in- forms the girl's father. If the family think it is asuitable match, the father invites the youn, man to the tent and asks him in the presence o} the girl if he loves her and will take good care of ber, Then the father asks the girl if she loves the young man, and tells her the duties of & wife. If both say ‘they love each other, the two become engaged, but even after that they do not talk together, neither do they go about together. A day is’ fixed for the wedding, A great feast is prepared. The relatives of the girland the young man sit around sgreatcam re together, the young man and the girl si ting side vy side. The food is in baskets. The irl has carefully cooked a basket of food for her intended husband, and as she hands it to hint he seizes her wrist with his right hand and takes the basket with his left. That is the mar- riage ceremony. The girl's fatner then pro- nounces them man and wife,and they go to a lodge, where they live together.” ————+e-. Another Arkansas Statesman Heard From. SENATOR CROCKETT’S GREAT SPEECH ON THE RAILROAD FREIGHT BILL, The Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette prints in fall the speech delivered in the senate of that state by Col. “Bob” Crockett on the bill to regulate railroad freights. Following is one of its elo- quent paragraphs: “Sir, for whom are we legislating? For our- selves alone? Alas, sir, heaven will never smile upon such selfish legislation. In alittle while you, Mr, President, and my venerable friend, the father of this bill, whose snowy locks aré even now being tossed by the breezes of another world, and I will have passed away and quiet sleep beneath the sod. The winter snow will drape the mounds above us with a windin sheet, but the sting of its bitter cold will be al unheéded by us. The spring birds will sing their sweetest notes in the swinging branches above our graves, though their music will not be heard by us. But Arkansas—God bless her! —like a gentle mother, will fold us to her loving breast and drape our beds with sweet flowering vines, sing soft lullabies o'er our dreamless rest with the low, sweet music of murmuring winds. After us will come another generation, who, if they find our state standing shoulder to shoulder with her sister states in the bat- He for, development and material prosperity through our wise legislation, will rise up and call us blessed. But, on the other hand, if they find her dwarfed by ‘unwise and restricted legis- lation, they will spit upon the graves of those whom they should honor. Let us remember that Arkansas 1s a growing state, and legislate for her on the plan that my dear old mother, of blessed memory, was wont to cut my clothes in my boyhood day, She always cut my breeches two years ahead, and I always grew to th and, alas! sometimes ‘got too big for’em,’ when I did—but that was my mother’s business, Sirs, let us cut Arkansas’ breeches—but Isee I must drop the illustration or ch: the sex of our state, which I would not do for the world— God bless her! We do not carry this selfishness into our private life. If I were to find my old friend, feed a cee soi oa eee trees, and were to say im, ‘Uncle wi trouble yourself to put out fruit: trees they never benefit you,’ the old man would straighten himself to his full height and reply, *No, Bob, I'm old and will. pro! hever see these trees blossom or fruit, but I have children and grandchildren, who, 4s they climi trees and pluck the ripe fruit after ’m dead, will say, ‘Grandfather planted these trees with his own hand,’ and they'll bless the old man, as they eat the’ fruit, for his kindness in planting the trees for their benefit.
