There is something feeble and inefli
cient, an acknowledjinent of inarticu
lateness, about the iiitenser tort of ei
pletives, which are wholly foreign to
the French temper, accustomed to per
fect facility and adequacy of expres
sion. Bimilarly with slang. French "ar
got" is almost a language by itself.
Slang, as we comprehend the term.
and as Walt Whitman eulojmca and
employs it-- namely, the riotous me
dium of the under language is un
known. One may in a week hear
more oaths and more slang of the
course and stupid sort in Wall street,
el the seaside, in the hotel corridors
and street cars and along tho side
walks of New York and Philadelphia,
suy; and in public generally among
us, than in the length and breadth or
France in a year.
There is not the same burlesque of
"heartiness," the same slapping ou the
back, the same insistent invitations to
drink, the same brutalite in fine,
there is infinitely more gentleness.
Their occasional savagery strikes us as
ineffective and amateur, their fury
seems fustian. The "rapier thrusts
of sarcasm, the kind of writing and
talking to which some of our news
pers apply their most eulogistic epi
thet, "scathing," the bitter banter to
which not a few of the best bred of our
young girls seem just now especially
addicted, would excite amazement in
France.
Persiflage there is never personal
when it is good natured. In any event
there is far less of it than of compli
ment, and this compliment is less fac
titious than are our personalities of
the uncomplimentary kind. ' The dif
ference shows an important tempera
mental distinction as well as anything
can. The. French are as inclined to
the amiable, the agreeable, the social,
the impersonal, as we are to avoid
being the dupe of thesequalities; per
haps they are less duped than we are,
anu at any rate the amount of fruit
less friction which tney save over us
is very great.
Indeed, with us this friction grows
by natural selection: it is popular be

Spain's Royal Children.
Thecardinal archbishopof Saragosa,
who officiated as chaplain royal at the
christening of the two daughters of
the late King Alfonso XII, in 1880 and
1882, came here expressly for the con
firmation of the princess of the Atr
lurias and the Infanta Maria Theresa,
now bright, pretty girls, 8 and 8 years
old. The royal children are carefully
hmucrht un and educated under the
eyes of Queen Christina by Spanish
and foreign governesses. They al
ready speait English, French and Ger
man, besides their native tongue. The
Infanta Maria Theresa is brighter, but
less docile and more delicate than her
sister. The queen doss not allow tnem
to be spoiled, though the stately eti
quette of the Bourbon court obligee
the attendants and courtiers to treat
them, and even the babv king,
with singular attention. Old gen
erals and proud ladies of the aris

of the little monarch, who is a lively,

There is no trade which flourishes so
well upon dexterous advertisincnts as
the trade of the showman. Mr. Van
Hare speedily recognised this; and we
quote one instance out of niany of the
good use to-which he applied the noble
art of advertising:

Presently Mr. Van Hare found him
