Jonathan in a proof it. j Tho sweat of hi Prow c ry staih.-s up'ii ; the arms an I ne k of hi.-t womankind in ! the form if diamuni's. To tlie American woman the diamond j is inn an oi.jeet mi luxury , n is an ol-jtct of prime necessity. An lln hold maid i ! would do without her t.a ! fore n American wuiimn wa.uld o wiili.mt ilia moiids. Oh, those diamor.ds in America! N"t one woman in a hundred will you see witliout a jiaii of tl.et-i in her ears. Diamonds, at niht with f vetting dress and artiiiciid light, are things of beauty; but diamonds in thet-treet ii;h morning dress, at earl hreakfast in company with morning rrapjx is; diamonds in the ears, at tlie neck, in the tmiuiet strings, on arms, on fingers, diamonds all day long and every w here, ut a remnant of Bavagery. Nay, I kiw diamonds on i-?i.e buckles one day in broad day on Union square. "There is a woman w ho is not afraid of tripping and losing her diamonds." said I to myself; "hut jxrhaps she got them iu tho same way that she might have lost them. Certainly fehe cannot b m lady." However, it apiiears uln was. Diamonds are worn by the woman of j fashion, the tradesman's wife, shop girls, work girls, servants all the womankind. If you see a shabbily dressed woman who has not a pair in her ears, tsho fms put them in pawn. Naturalh. in America, ns elsewhere, all that sparkles is not diamond. I have seen pretty, lovely women com pletely disfigure themselves by hanging enormous diamonds in their cars. These ear drops had a very lnh commercial value but artistic value, none. Love of woman, innate in the Ameri can, is not enough in its if to explain tho luxury that n an lavishes on her in tho United States. Tlie luxury of the American women must lie explained in another way. Money is easily earned in the United States, and is freely spent. Business savors more of gambling than of com merce in the proper tense of tho word. Jonathan, then, is in a position much like that of a man whom I s,iw give a hundred franc note to a 1 ggar one day in the streets of Monte Carlo. 'Tf I win,'' said he, "what are a hundred francs to me? lean afford to !o y neroW- to a poor fellow creature out of it; if I lose, it is so much that the cioupiers wil not get." When Jonathan covers his wife with diamonds, he hays to himself: "If I win 1 can indulge my wife without incon veniencing myself; if I lose, it is so much saved from the fray." This is not all. If the American thirsts after money, it is not for tho love of money, as a rule, but for the love of tliat which money can buy. In other words, avarice is a vice almost unknown in America. Jona than pursues wealth to improve his posi tion in life. and to surround those depend ent upon him with advantages and lux uries. He is the first to admit that their love for diamonds is absurd, Lut he Ls good humored, and says: ' Sinco thej like them, why should they not have them?"' In Europe there is a false notion that Jonathan passes his life in the worship of th "almighty dollar." It is an error. If a millionaire inspires rcsiect, it is ru much for the activity and talent h has displayed in the winning of his fortune aa for the dollar themselves. An Amer ican, w ho had nothing but Ida dollars to boast of, might easily 6ee aii English j doors open to him, but his millions alone woaJ.l not k'ive him the entree into tho best society of Boston and New York. An American girl who w;is rich, hut plain and stupid, would always find some English duke, French marquis or Italian count ready to marry her, but she will ha vp great difficulty in linding an American gentleman w ho would look upon her fortune or her dot as a suffi cient indemnity. At a public dinner, the millionaire does not find a place of honor reserved for him. as he would in England. The seats of honor are reserved for mt n of talent. Even in politics money does not lead to honor. No, refined Americans do not worship the (.olden Calf, as Europeans are often pleased to imagine. As to the women, that is j.erhaps different but wethall speak of them ia an' ther chap tec. Vll-NOTES ON GREAT CITIES. New Tork, "Boston, Chiladelphia, OU cago And tbe Liveli.-tit of Tbcoi I CbJ Tlie large citiea do not constitute tbe real America. To gain a correct idea of the country, one must go aud see thos hundreds I had 3!most Raid those thou sands of flourishing little towns which spring up day by d.iy. Great citit-a surely have their interest, especially those of the United States, which, with the exception cf New York, have each their ow n particular charac teristics. The city of New York looks like t slice of honeycomb on the map; twelve great arteries run from north to 60utb, croaeed at riht angles by over a hundred streets, forming an imtaense number cf "blocks." Except in the city proper, w here ther have particular mines, the streets are ail numbered: First street, east or west. Second street. One Hundred and Twenty fifth street, and so on. Tbe great arter ies take the name of Avenues First, Sec ond, Third, up to Eleventh, besides Broadway. It will readily be seen that nothing is easier than to find a house situated in such and such a street, at such and such a number. The tiling which puzzled my wits was to remember the addresses of my acquaintances: T03 East Fifteenth -street; 44 East Twenty-sixth street, c-tr You can readily i nagine the perpk:.::y of the foreigner no find? himself confronted with this difaculty and with a score of calls to pay.
