son with the incomes of the - cotton
spinners of Manchester, , the ship
owners of Liverpool, the iron, mas
ters of Wales and the large.-contracted
for public worksr'rlt is
also to bt observed that. SJJW
raercial men have no a? upon
them, noi-W4ditary char'n to sup
port, no courts and castles 'to kvep
up. They can, therefore, eclipse
the titled classes whoever they
meet. A sensible malji indeeil,
will no longer accept S peerage,
being c msciouo that itwill make
hitn more n.iieu'ou's tharrespected;
and an houcst iu.ni will Jiot take a
title because it ia generally under
stood that no favor can be obtained
from anv English government by
creditable means. Tbefore, an
official recognition of a.olitician's
merits is merely looked upon as
p.ivmerft fir some party job.
' l ITLLS OF KoH$LtTY
m Ebirland have ceasel to huve
:ir,v sinirication at all. Duke
means leader: but what and who is

Mcn'rcse or the Duke of Newcas
tle ? Maniuis means warden of

nickname was not long ago
riven to lord Kipon for making a
politic -1 blunder. Earl means chief
of a e untry, 'say some ; others as
sert t . -it it means 'elder or gray
Leatd. J.i any ease Lord "Win
chester cannot be supposed to rule
over .Votingham from the Dank
ruptrv C'ourt, and therQ are earls
still in their cradles The tide of
Vis-count or Vice-count is equally
devoid of common sense at present,
and no public duty of any kind is
now attached to any-, title. Som'
hereditary court officfes are still held
by certain families, but they have
become sinecures, and the very men
who hold them couM not tell what
thev have to do. Thus the Duke
of St. Alb -.n.- is Hereditary (irand
Falconer; but there are no falcons
now kept by the Sover-iiru. The

late Mr. Mill, too, was, as a matter
of fact, the most potent of English
men. Geo. Eliot, the novelist, is
very influential, so is Mr. ard,
the editor ol the Saturday Review.
The Times is rather ou: of date, and
has long ceased to produce any
effect on public opinion. The same
observati-n applies to the Daily
ews and in a lesser degree to the
Standard. The Morning Post,
though honestly conducted, is a
class paper, the organ of polite
tocietv; but the conductors of the
Spectator are important people, and
the leader writers on the
Fall Mall Gazette tke the
rank among the teachers and
ers of thoughtful men. No

these, the real nobility of the time.
Then m a secondary place, but st il
puissant, stands Mr. Tennyson, Mr.
-rnon ilarcourt, and a few poets
and pamphleteers. They have
quite superceded the nobility in the
national esteem, and if two opposite
statements of it fact were put for
ward, the one signed by Lord
Demanlev and the other by any
known men of letters, His Lord
ship's account of the transaction
would not be credited for a moment.
Gain. The total membership in
Frotestant churches in the United
States is estimated at about 0,780,

within thn last ten vears was cou
siderably more than one third, whilo
that of the populatio
ot tne country
was less than one-fourth
THE PEOPLE." Constitution of N. C
OCTOBER 18, 1873.
The Enjoyment of Music.
Every human being should, if
possible. learn music, especially
song, which is man's natural music,
as voice s his inborn instrument.
United ong is one of the raoat strin
gent bonds of human association,
whether it take expression in jovial
glee amonff.t boon companions, in
j spirit-stirring battle songs of war
i a
ing armies, or in full voiced hymns
of congregated worshippers in our
erdemn temples. The emotions
awakened by music nre manifold,
but it may safely be asserted that
they are always beneficial elcyat--4ng-the
mind, or cheering the soul.
Hardened, indeed, must be that
heart which could meditate evil
deeds, within sound of excellent
music.
To a, psychologist it is interest
ing to observe the impression
wrought simultaneously on an as
sembly hearing identical sounds; a
physiologist (even were he himself
deaf) might find amusement at a
concert, in watching tbe counten
ances of the audience, varying ac
cording to the character of the
pieces performed. Those especially
who chance to assist at any musical
entertainment given in blind asy
linns inij clearly discern the trans
parent impression of music on hu
man nature, by tracing absorbed
attention and deep emotion ingen
iously expressed on those poor orb
less faces their blindness rendering
those who are so afflicted unapt to
conceal their feelings by controling
their features into conventional
mien.
No one can precisely define the
enjoyment of music; all we know is
that "it is;" it is spontaneous,
involuntary, and irresistible. As
sociation of ideas may increase it
tenfold, but its orgin is electric, and
its boundaries are illimitable.
Mendel-sohn felt this when he
wrote: ki There is so much talk
about music, and yet so little really
said. For my part, I belie?e that
words uo not suffice for such a pur
pose; and if I found they did suffice,
then I certainly would have noth
ing more to do with rousic." he
farther s ys, "fills the soul with a
thousand things better than words."
To this finely -wrought perceptive
genius, the Sanscrit of tone did
indeed reveal occult melodious
treasures, but even to the uninitiated
can it appeal as eloquently as any
spoken language, aud can evoke as
pious aspirations by its sublime
accents as the most edifying sermon
ever preached. BrainanVs 3fusi-
Eyes.
What a variety of eyes there are
in the world ! There are loving
eyes,, admiring eyes, longing eyes,
inquisitive eyes, jealous eyes,
envious eyes, malicious eyes, smil
inix eyes, tearful eyes, meddlesome
eves, penetrating eyes, and eyes
that look and yet see nothing, be
sides man' oth'r kind of eyes which,
in their own peculiar way are peer
ing into the world's mysteries.
A good way to make loving eyes
is to be true, devoted and thoughtful
of home comforts.
To attract admiring eyes, be
cheerful, tidy and industrious.
To cure longing eyes, call in and
give some supper to the poor, half
starved little creature, who is gaz
ing at your bountifully supplied
table.
To satisfy inquisitive eyes, let
them see the very, thing they had
rather not.
To avoid jealous eyes be neither
distrustful nor do that to another
which you Would not have done to
you.
To avoid envious eyes, be squint
eyed, hump-backed, squatty, dis
agreeable, and no sort of use to
anybody.
To keep clear of malicious eyes,
die at once and go to heaven.
To cause smiling eyes, speak
kindly, deal gently and be light
hearted and merry, remembering
life is to enjoy.
Have teartul eyes whenever the
heart is full. It is a good way to
work oft" troubles and lighten the
spirit.
To avoid meddlesome eyes, stay
at home, lock all doors and draw
the curtain. Then if they look in
through the keyhole, throw net
water on them, if you are over
senitive; otherwise, go ahead with
your affairs in your own way and
let them meddle.
Penetrating eyes roust lock up
and try to forget all the secrets
discovered of the shortcomings of
others, only remembering thejbeauti;
ful things which the blind cannOtsee.
For eyes that look and see noth
ing there is no cure, excepting an
awakening of soul or intellectual
energies. Will it not be heaven

Medical View of Spiritualism
Of all mental ailments, none
seem to yield to treatment so re
luctantly as spiritualism. I have
watched many cases of genuine
spiritualism, but do not remember
to have seen a chronic case per
manently cured. I have seen typ
ical cases pass regularly through
their successive stages and termin
ate iu open insanity, and have
never been able to mitigate the
symptoms nor avert the result.
Spiritualism is the most unpromis
ing complaint with which the
psychologist is called to meet. No
epidemic of modern times can com
pare with it. It is a delusion which
has existed twenty five years, and
attacked in the Fnited States alone
nearly three million people. The
last censas informs us that there
are in the Republic twenty-four
thousand insane, setting aside idiots,
and it is believed that out of this
number seven thousand five hun
dred cases may be traced directly
to spiritualism. The delusion does
not appear to be decreasing, though
fortunately its victims are now al
most altogether from the vulgar
and illiterate classes, and scientific
men do not seem to be liable to the
contagion. It numbers among its
victims a few men and women of
talent and genius, but they were
attacked years ago ; and we venture
to say that had they remained free
from the disorder up to the present
day they would not be very suscep
tible to its influences. The fact is,
spiritualism has lost its hold on the
higher classes, and is spreading
with fearful rapidity among the
rude and illiterate. Whole com
munities are given to its influence,
its believers have their organiza
tions, places of worship, mediums,
books, papers, and asylums ; they
are as sincere, earnest, and fearless
as were the Flagellants, Lyean
thropes, and Crusaders of the mid
dle Ages, but, alas ! they are even
more deranged.
Exaggeration Rebuked.
A quaint Scottish minister was
given somewhat to exaggerating in
the pulpit. His clerk reminded
him of its ill effects upon the con
gregation. He replied that he was
not aware of it, and wished the
clerk, the next time he did it, to
give a cough by way of hint. Soon
after he was describing Sampson's
tying the foxes tails together. He
said :
" The foxes in those dayc were
much larger than ours, and they
had tails 20 fut long."
"Ahem !" came from the clerk's
desk.
' That is," continued the preach
er, "according to their measure
ment : but by ours they were 15 fut
long."
" Ahem !" louder than before.
" But as you may think this is
extravagant, we'll just say they
were 10 fut."
"Ahem! ahem!!" still more
vigorous.
The parson leaned over the pul
pit, and shaking his finger at the
clerk, said :
"You may cough there all night
long, mon ; I'll nae take aff a fut
more. Would ye hae the foxes wid
nae tail at a' ?"
Not All Lost. A Bankrupt
merchant, returning home one night
said to his noble wife :
" My dear, 1 am ruined : every
thing we have is in the hands of the
Sherifi."
After a few moments of silence
the wife looked into his face and
s 3 1 tl r
" Will the Sheriff sell you ?"
" Oh, no."
"Will the Sheriff sell the chil
dren?" " Oh, no."
"Will he sell me?"
" Oh, no."
" Then do not say that we have
lost everything. All that is most
valuable remain to us manhood,
womanhood, childhood. Wc have
lost but the results of our skill and
industry. We can make another
fortune if our hearts and hand are
left us !"

serves to rank higher than an
isgenious little machine just inven
ted by an American in Portsmouth,
New Hampshire. Ic is called ' The
Business-man's Bore-abater," and
its action is simple and effectual.
It consists of a button torpedo, with
patent nitro-glyceriue backaction
attachment, that can be worn on the
coat like an ordinary button which,
indeed, it resembles in appearance.
When the bore seizes the uabater,"
it instantly explode?, shiver'Dg his
band into a million
pieces
and
blowing him around the corner fnto
the next street. The inventor, it is
stated, has already received orders
for all he can manufacture for two
years to come. A machine on,, the
same principle, so constructed as to
present the appearance of a dopr
handle, would be very useful to
Ministers of State when about to
receive deputation, and for domestic
purposes, such as receiving appli
cants for charitable donations, rate
collectors, and others visitors of
this description. A householder's
bore-abater," fixed on the, ; front
door, would be an immense success.

IS IT NOT SO ?
In a lecture in Cork, Ireland,
Father Burke, the distinguished
Roman Catholic divine, made use of
the following language :
" America to-day groans and, la
ments by the voices of l.er statesman,
her phi-osophers, her writers, and
her press over the awful corruption of
official life, and the dishonesty which
they publicly proclaim is sounded ,in
every order of commercial, sooi&l ad
political life. Nothing impresses one
more than this the universal lament
day after day ia all the papers of
America."
The Washington ClirtmicU takes
serious exceptions to these sentiments,
lest our national reputation abroad
should be seriously affected. V e
would enquire in the first place1, 13 not
every word of it trne ? And in the
second place, if it is true, why should
