IN QUEEN ANNE'S TIME.
An Ago Devoted to tlio Culture of Dresf
( anil I'liHtlinen.
. It was tho fashion to laugh at tlio
rusticity of country squires and to voto
rural sports vulvar. Among tho midtllo
classes tastes were narrowly Insular,
and tho traveled wit only returned to
town a foo and a fribble. Without
political interests, country pursuits or
artistic tastes, tho fashionablo world
concentrated its attention upon amuse
ment or upon dross. Socloty cried in
real earnest with tho sarcastic Swift:
t ""Fire la Bagatelle!" Early rising was
'not tho vogue; Belinda wakes at twolvo
"lo summon her maid with handbell or
slipper. A great part of tho morning
was spent both by men and womoninan
claborato toilet Tlio young man of
lashion, who lodged in somo "great
street near tho court, like Tall
Mall," lounged from ono till four in thd
Mall or tho King to exhibit his now
sword-knot, show tho hoight of his
toupee, select a beauty for tlio even
ing's toast, or feed tho ducks in tho
canal and "Rosamunda's pond." Dressed
for tho park, ho woro a full-buttomcd
Duvlllor wig, and carriod undor his loft
nrm his low-felt hat, looped or cocked,
according to tasto, and edged with sll--vor.
Round his neck was tied tho Bcr
dash or Stolnkirk neck-cloth of Mechlin
lace, probably dusted with snuff, and
ho woro his waistcoat unbottoned at
tho top to "how tho llnoness of his ruf
fled Holland shirt His embroidered or
brocaded stilts, with silk stockings to
match, woro of various colors. II is shoes
had high red hools. Tho talis of his
coat woro stiffened with wlro to display
tho silk lining. From a button of his
coat hung his foxskin muff; at his sido
dangled his sword. With ono hand ho
played with his clouded cane, which
was suspended from his right wrist by i
liluo ribbon, and trailed harmoniously
upon tlio pobblos, in tho other hand ho
carriod his fringed gloves and ono of his
numerous snuif-boxes. Tlio dross of tho
lady was equally elaborate. When sho
exchanged her mob, morning gown, and
handkerchief for full dress and tho
park, sho appeared In a laced bodice,
worn open In front over tight
stays, surmounted, after Addison's
remonstrances, by tho tucker of
modesty, lior "sleeves wore shortened
ho us to show tho lace hangings, which
"fell to tho wrist. Her apron covered
but a tiny portion of tho ricli brocaded
petticoat, which was distended upon
tho Herman hoop a huge rotunda, such
ns that which was brought into the
Spectator's Court of Judicature. As tho
bodico descended tlio petticoats roso
nnd revealed tho bright stockings of
thread or silk, which terminated in
beautifully-worked shoes of embroider
ed satin or morocco leather. In nothing
woro tho fashions more changeable than
in tho height of tho headdress. Addi
son remombered it, "rise and fall above
thirty degrees." Quarterly Review.

It was a simple increase in knowledge,
tho discovery of gunpowder, which
broko tho power of tho robber barons,
nnd by confining victory to regular
urmles ultimately extinguished private
war. It is increased knowledges among
other inlluencos, which has given us
civilized order, and what that means to
mankind in happiness, and menus most
or till to tlio poor, let those who havo
lived in countries where order has never
been or has given way describe to the
jnon who have forgotten what ignorant
-warriors or brigands or populaces will do.
Hut why seek for such evidence when It
is all around us? Ask any one of those
-who really know, ask any really experi
enced doctor or missionary or school
teacher, whether tho profoundly Igno
rant, tho men .and women of the re
siduum who know nothing, aro more
happy than tho cultured, whether they
do not sutler more from four, from
disease we mean, of courso, when tho
diseases aro tho same and from all tho
semi-mad nosses which wooluss together
in the phrase, "want of self-restraint."
Ono ignorant woman of the slums will
suffer more in a week from ecstasies of
unger anger rising to Insanity than a
hundred cultivated women will suffer
from tho same can so In their lives.
There Is no reason for pitying the low
est class of Kuropo so unanswerable us
their sulToring from sheer Ignorance.
They know less than the half civilized,
who almost everywhere possess a fund
of traditional skill; and though knowl
edge Is not culture or civilization, it is
its necessary substructure. Take all
knowledge) from Scotland, save what is
possessed by Fiji, and you would havo
Scotchmen more energetlo Fijlans that
is, u race so unhappy that In its unrest
nnd self abhorrence it surrendered
freedom. Nobody took Fiji. Spec

The Merlin postal service, long ono of
tho best postal services in tho world
lias Just been Improved by a unique in
novation. On Novombor 1 ten largo
jKistal wagons, with sorting tables,
stamping arrangements and every thing
olso used in preparing mall for trans
portation, were sent out from Berlin's
Station 0 over ton routes to tho city
limits to collect tho contents of the
btroet mall-boxes. Tho olllolals who ac
companied tho wagons sorted, stamped
nnd bunched tho mall brought them
(rum tho boxes by a porter, wlllo tho
wagons were being driven in from tho
outskirts of tho city. In this way an
hour, nnd often enough, two hours, was
saved from tho time before required for
preparing malls for tho trains. A let-tor-box
was attached to tho side of each
wugon, so that pedestrians could throw
in their loiters whenever the wugon
stopped. ThnitO postal wagons have been
it complete success thus far, and will lie
continued in use. Most of thorn cover
their routes in Just un hour. The Mer
lin post olllolals lHuist that they now
have tho quickest city mail tervico in
tho world, N Y. bun.

! PORTLAND MARKET
But little record of any business trans
actions of magnitude has leaked out dur
ing the week for obvious reasons. Local
trade was principally confined to gum
bots, in which line Itassumedabnormally
larger" proportions, the mnrket being fairly
well supplied as far as the knees. The
movement of merchandise was of exceed
ingly large proportions, mainly upward
and onward, however, like Pharaoh's host
across tho H d sea and alike emphatically
suggested by the encroach ng element.
But little complaint is heard, the tempo
rary suspension not withstand! -g, and the
brisker demand in all lines, which we are
justilled in anticipating, will no doubt
substantially reimburse all but the serious
losers.

ABOUT CARTOGRAPHY.
Tlio Science or MiiklnR Map a Ilrclitedlr
I.uliorloiK Industry.
Tho early maps used by Prof. Hors
ford are partly French, and this, with
tho remarkable display of maps at tho
Paris Exposition, and tho great work
undertaken by tho French bookseller,
Hatchette, leads mo to say a word about
map-making, or "cartography," as tho
French call it. The age of Louts XIV.,
which produced so much else, gave an
impulse to map-making, and early in
the last century, tho great atlas of
D'Auville, which was forty years in
making, was tho ancestor of innumera
ble maps since published. France also,
under the Bourbons, made tho first im
portant topographical survey, under tho
lead of Casina do Floury, who was en
gaged on it from 174 to 17S3, and his
maps were used by Napoleon and Wel
lington in their campaigns.
In our century, however, geographical
science and art under llumbolt, who
studied in Parts, and Rltter havo
migrated to Germany with other
branches of learning. The great pul
llsher, Porthes, at Gotha. employing
men llko Stieler, Sydow, Spruner and
Peternuin, and the rival Berlin pub
lisher, ICiepert, have for fifty years held
sway In map-making. Hachette, in the
days of tlio Second Napoleon, undertook
to break down the German monopoly in
this art and to restore France to her
former eminence in it, and this Paris
publisher employed Vivien do St. Mar
tin to edit his new atlas, which is now
coming out in monthly numbers, be
ginning with 1SS7. A still larger atlas,
begun in 1SS7. is waiting to follow.
Vivien do St. Martin died before much
had been issued, and he had been suc
ceeded by F. Schraeder. The prepara
tory work is done and the publication
will soon begin again. A single map
will occupy an engraver a year or two.
In tho smallest atlas, maps of Switzer
land, the British Isles and tho Russian
Empire are published, and appear to bo
better than tlio best former maps thoso
of Stieler, the German. Compared with
work like this the new atlas of Middle
sex County seems rather crude and inac
curate, but tho maps aro on a largo
scale, and in the villages every man's
house is put down with the owner's
name. Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

A couplo who appeared to havo
walked a long distance over a country
highway, and to bo man and wife, wero
wrangling on tho north portico of tlio
City Hall yesterday, when a policeman
approached and asked what was tho
matter.
"She's kicking up a rumpus," replied
tho man.
"No, I hain't, either. Ho wants to
Hunk on his bargain," sho protosted.
"Well, what is it'."'
"Why, we've boon married about a
year," said the man, "and we don't got
along together. I said we'd better di
vorce, and she said she'd take five dol
lars and let mo go."
"Seven, Jim I said seven."
"You said five."
"Where wero you going to get a di
vorce'.'" asked tho otlleer.
"Inhere. That's what we came for.
Soon's wo git it I'm going to Canada."
"I said seven dollars, Jim," put in tlio
wife.
"You said five!"
"Seven!"
"Five!"
"Seven dollars or I won't sign!"
"You've gotter fur five!"
Tho olllcer proceeded to enlighten tho
couplo a little on tho divorce question,
and when ho was through the husband
said:
"If I can't get a divorco then I'll ab
duct myself."
"Thon I'll abduct after you!" sho re
plied, and as ho started down tho street
sho trotted along at his heels and was
prepared for any dodgo he might make.

FEMININE TENDERNESS.
An KxiH-rleiico Which DUproicH One of
Diil-M 1 nr Theories.
According to Darwin ono of tho chief
mental diirerences between man and
woman is woman's greater tenderness.
Of this feminino tenderness tho world
has been able to judge on a vast scale
during the last two or threo years.
According to statistics 30,000 humming
birds were sold in London in ono after-
noon, and tho number of Brazilian and
Now Indian birds sold in ono auction
room during four months, 404,404. Ono
dealer in South Carolina handles 30,000
bird skins each year. During four
months 70,000 birds wero supplied to
Now York dealers from a single village
on Long Island; and an enterprising
woman from New York contracted with
a Paris millinery firm to deliver during
this summer 40,000 or moro skins of birds
at 40 cents each. A correspondent of a
Now York papor saw at an art exhlbi- I
tlon a young lady "with nothing in her
faco to denote cruolty," who woro a hat
trimmed with the heads of over twenty
llttlo birds, and tho same writer re
marked: "No ono can tell how largo a
bird can be worn on a woman's head by
walking on Fifth avenue. It is neces
sary to take a r..lo on a Second-a venue
car to get the full oi'oet of tho prevail-'
ing fashion. Thoro ono may see on the
hoadgear of tho poorer classes, and es
pecially of colored women, every tfyecics
of the feathered kingdom smaller than
a prairie chicken or a canvasback duck,
