The London Economist and other British financial journals declare that the specula- tive activity in England just now is greater than at any time previously since 1879. “ Good times” often come withont'unusual activity in the speculative markets. but spec- ulation seldom comes without "good times.’ The prospects in England. as in the United States, are that general trade will be active during a large part, if not of all, the coming The fact that fifteen to twenty-five steamers a month are now arriving at the mouth of the Congo. illustrates the growth of commerce in that region since Stanley showed the importance of the great river. One ocean steamer has already ascended the river to Boma, fifty miles from the sea. and the best channels are being marked'by buoys, so that deep~draught vessels may safely navigate the lower river. Dr. George Waebnrn, of the Robert Col- lege. Cometantinople, writes to The New York Independen: :â€"There is certainly a growing sympathy with America in Eng- land. I have seen more and more of it every time I have been there since my first visit, more than thirty years ago. There is not much change on the Continent. I am not sure they like us as well as they did thirty years ago. There is certainly more abuse of America in the Continental papers than there was then. But in England the change is wonderful. An American is no longer a stranger there. and the essential unity of the Anglo Saxon race has become a popular dogma.

OUR SPECIAL CABLE. However charitably one may endeavor to look on such peculiarties, it is pitiable to feel how barren that mind must be, how little food for thought it must possess, that finds excitement or interest in asking how many yards are used in the dress of a perfect stranger with whom they are not likely ever to meet again, how much the lady gave for it, what size shoes she wears, how many pairs she buys a veer, and an interminable list of inquiries of a_si_milar_ character. _ Does any one think such things seldom happen? A rant mistake! We have lis- tened to simi ar questions when travelling, and have been put through the same or a similar catechism often enough to know that it is not an uncommon thing. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER AND WORSE SIDE to over-familiarity which can cause pain too acute for any feeling of eontem t, the abuse of the natural familiarity whie springs out of the closest family relations. Nowhero else are the laws of good society, if we look no higher, so often set aside or overlooked. When held in check by that genuine good breeding and politeness which springs from a sensitive conscience and a pure and noble heart, the familiarity of family love and home relations becomes a playful tenderness that leaves no sting and causes no heartache. But love is often a vain show, instead of a bond to hold the family together the very tenderest of all home relations is viewed as furnishing a license for impoliteness and neglect such as none would dare to approach a stranger with far less an intimate. " Is it not my wife? Is it not my child? Who shall dare dispute my right to do what I will with my 037111" that bind them'together are his safeguard. There is a sense of security from exposure in family pride, in part, but stronger than all else is the knowled e of the womanly love that seeks to hide a 1 errors. The wife or daughter, and sometimes sister are often spoken to by the " gentleman" of the house as he would not dare to speak to any other women. however insignificant. But more particularly in this BRUTE SENSE 0|" OWNRBSIHP manifested to his wife. A brother finds no particular pleasure in talking sharp or domi- neering over his sister. He is well avmre she may resent it, and retort even more sharply than he addressed her. For a den hter, a father. unless lost to all sense of shame, has usnlly s peculisr tenderness by which she escapes much oi the oppression the other members of the family are expos. If the head of the family â€"ita rulerâ€" speaks unnkindly, it _ia becmfgo thq bond_a No doubt persons to whom this disigree- eble trait has become a deeply~seated habit have many desirable traits. Kind-hearted to all, it may be. honest and true in all their dealings, yet few, knowino this weakness in their character care to associate with them, feeling that it would be impossible to be near them any length of time before the , effort will be made, and persisted in, to disâ€" lcnss your own private affairs in the most ‘fnmilier style, ready, to be sure. to make. ‘ full exchange. and open before you every thing connected with their own history in the most intimate and confidential manner. Often it. is very evident that nothing wrong is intended, and therefore one is at a loss to decide how to rep'y to the UNCFASING TORRl-‘NT OF INQUIRIES. There are. however. specimens of over- familiarity that deserve to be met only by open contempt. What more embarrassing and exasperating than in a public convev~ ance, where, where escape is impossible without attracting attention, to have a perfect stranger begin to ask questions and make fremarks as it on the most intimate terms. and with a freedom that would be scarcely tolerated in one's own family? There is a class, to be sure, who really know no better, who have lived where there was lit- tle opportunity for improvement, or any ex- ample or teaching to reuse them to a sense, of the gross impropriety of such liberties.‘ For such one can find some excuse and some commiseration. And yet, even when ignor- ance is offered as an excuse, do we not feel there should be an instinctive sense of pro- priety sufficient to withhold even a hea- then 3 Few. unfortunately. however, barely reach the early stages of maturity without being COIllptllGd to recognize the correctness of this old and homely adage.
