THE PLANTS LETTER FROM THE OLD WORLp. how ke1t.fsentatives of tiik Greatest republic the. wor l ever saw n deport TIIEMS E L T ES IXfFOUs' When, one is far away in a land where he FeMom meetu one of his ccHatrjmen, lie is much les"3 fastideoos ja bia sociability than when he is'at home. Even an iuvettrat-e snob could not per sist in hjd snobbishness, under tnch ciicamt4nce8, with any-r thing like satisfaction. Of coarse, in a large foreign city where there isjau Amcncan colony, one cannot so thoroughly appreciate the luxary of meeting a fellow conntrymaD. In fact, I imagine one would soon Jearn to avoid one of his own nationality, if he were obliged to live io one o! theK) colonies for aiy leDgth of time; as the worst tait of American character teem to iipen move rapidly and to be come more offrnspvely prominent in a foreign atmosphere : than they do at home. Why this is so I do not preten i to explain though I presume it is owing to either one or thd other of the two following causes: Some Americans chiffiy mrn believe Atneric to be better than the rest of the world in ev ery particular, and rnake them selves offensive, and sometimes ridiculous, by iatruding this opinion on every possible occa sion,' . . Other Americans chiefly snobs and weak-minded young ladies think tlmt the rest of tha world is always better than America, and are ready at any time to apologize for their uative country aud its "vulgat' dtmo oratic principles. 7 The apologies of this latt t class are either direct or implied. 1 can forgive even a snob for be ing honestly ashamed of his country, for theu i know that his county is, or ought to be, even more ashamed of him, but when the apology is only implied by a igh of regret that we have no rutued eastles and cqaallyruined barous, counts or other such 8maH deery ot when 1 nee a smile of tickjed vanity raised on the face of; a sturdy American girl by a Wreless attention or a silly complimeut from some sprig of a decayed nobility, I doubt the capacity of such per&Qis to ap- preciate.sensible, democratic doc- trine oinerwise tnan in a mereiy sentimental way. V But I am becoming 39ver?, per hapsin my judgments. 1 do not tuean to imply that all onr coun trymen and ? coantrywoinen abroad are injudicioas. or, to put it plainly, ill-bred; simply . be cause many of them act in a man ner which has brought discredit ou us as a nation. To-day I was hurrying home to dinner when 1 saw in the distance an exceedingly blacn object whom I recognized as a fellow American citizen. He stood in front of a window examininff intently, and evidently deliber atiag seriously in regard to it Cussing fthe street, I approached unobserved, and said, as I pre tended to pass by: 4iYou leave that pie alone! First thing you know you won't know anything, if yoa eat these European pres. The man turned quickly on hearing himself addressed in Englist, and grinned from one honest black ear to the other, as he said: . ''Scuse me, boss; I ain gwine fer buy dat nie ef I knows it. Wy boss, I seen it in de window las wek.! .1 knows it for sure by de crumb dat3 broken eff de corneij an' I ain' gwine ter eat no diied apples like -dem, dat am de tiick.

The other day I was l ilting in a little depot-res taurant in Southern Prussia with ow-eoontryman. He said to Kellner, or waiter; jw much does tbiscostl'V "Seventy pfennigs," was the reply. ,tCh, txat for all!" my friend gaid, ; ;.. ... ; "Ilighty pfennigeV said the waiter. 'W ith the bread!" qnened my frien3. V " Eighty -five pfennigs," was the rply. Oh, but the Fait and pepper," said my frierd, saicastically. Th i waiter fled. Another IKellrier coming up, accepted sev enty pfennings, aDd even said, ul thank ycu beautifully,7' which is a Fore sign tbat he was get ting more than the amotsnt of the b'Jll. As we left the room my frienQ made some rsmark about sch indlers' wb"jbi founded more cxpressjive than elegant. American children are looked upon iS.8 pro'ligies by foreigners. Mark Twain has -expressed his astonishment at find'fl that even tpe children in France could speak French fluently. The wonderful familiarity of Amiri can children with the English language may perhaps increase the worjder of the Germans at heir precocity. But still, it remains a fast tat oar American children are brighter and quicker than 3r man cpildrn of tq ial age,. -This ii owing chiefly to their greater natural intelligence,- and, in a smaller degree, in the way . in which they arc brought up. Ah Euglirp cr German child lives in the uarsery-aiid -is practically an infant, while its American con in listens to the conversation of its elders ind thus absorbs much in format on, and, at the same time, unconsjciously falls. into trie habit of nsing.its reasoning powerc Durham Tobacco Plant. JEx-PiTsident Jaris. 1 In estimating" the historical Value of Ji-fferson Davis' recent statements about - attempts to assassinate. him during the war, it should be borne in mind that Mr. D ivis, at the time ol the t c currencies he refers to, was in the ciiy wliich was the center of a great army and liable to individ ual ontbreaics of disorder and viofoncr. Very probaby some one or more of the narratives of attempts on his life related by the ex -President of the Confed" eracy bad a real basis it would be strange if each-had Joot been the Case, but the evidence Mx. Davis brings forward as proof that the authorities in the JTorth were privy to the conspiracies against bis life; is tnconcliisivei and . UDi.itiafactory. It will, be noted tt at while Mr. Davis intN matis'tliat a Governor of Penn. sylvania was to some extent ac cessory i o one of the plots to as . sassinat! him, the assertion rests entirely on the authority of an anonymous letter cf the kind that are received in dozens by nearly e l public men of import, auce. 2sew Vork Star. it. is curious scientific fact ibRt all he elements of the pois on found in a rattlesnake are in-) heient in the comjiou Irish pota- to. - Aiuet-icau Xetr as Printed In.
