Wo are told that the word "thanks," instead of "thank you" is fashionable just now, but this word has recently gone out of fashion, follow ing Ibe course of .Ihe words "politu" and "genteel," which are no longer used as compliments in good society. Agaiu we are told that "n gentleman in driving touches Lis hat with his whip ;" "the etniuette of the whin is butlicient." ucr- tainlv some American mtu are doing thei best to introduce this custom incur "age cf license." but well-bred women lebel against such free-and-easy modes of salu tation. It is not recognized as gotxl loria in the mot cultivated socntu-a of Eu rope.

Th man was not one of a class in life instructed in such forms ; salutation to touch bis whip to his hat, and his insfincts berved the purposes of instruction ; or, poibly, it was the effect of exanilile : for if an EukIisIi gentleman lets his eyes wander from his horses to salute a ladv, he salutes her pioperlv, and not with his whip. A young, well trained English girl said to a Newport swell, "Yon passed me to-day without bowing to me ; you lrequcnuy uo bo. He answered, "I beg your pardon, that is impossible. I touclied my whip to my bat, to-day, as usual." "Oh, do you call that a mark of recognition?" sho replied, elevating her eyebrows slightly. "I was in ignorance of tho existence of such a custom, excepting between men." After this civilly administered reproof, tho young man not being asnfllcii utly "good whip" to lift his hat when handling his reins, contented the requirements of the lady by a bow, bending somewhat moro forward, and the lww more pronounced than men give, unless under like circum stances.

Chnstlaa Monthlr.l On the day of her marriage the child bride is put into a pahmquin, shut up light aud carried to her husbaud s house. Hitherto she haa been the spoilt pet of her mother; now she is to bo tho littlo slavoofher mother-in-law, upon whom she is to wait, whoso commands sho is implicitly to obey, and whois to teach her what sho is to do to ploase her hus band what dishes ho likes best, and how to cook them. It tho mother-in-law is kind, she will let the girl go home occa sionally to visit her mother. Iu her father's house she may wear her sjree down on her shouldeis. Iu her niother-in-hiw's houso it must uot only be diawn up over her head, but it must comndown over her faco to tho mouth. This may bo lifted np oft her faco after tho birth of her first babe. In her mother's house sho re tains her given name, Mohenee. In her husband's sho really looses her identity. Sho is never called by her given namo, but always Co, which means daughler-iu-law; but" added to Bo is another name, which sho denotes whether bho is tho first, second, third or fourth sou s wife. After tho birth of her first child she is known as the mother of that child, the word ma being attached to that child a uurnc when she is spoken of as Chnudro ma Bedo-ma. In tho mother's house she nmv ruu about in the court and verandas, talking and playing (poor play) as mack as she pleases. In her husband s, till alter the first child is born, sho mnst moya about like a poor little ghost, so quietly and softly that her voice mnst never bo heard abovo tho faintest whisper. In fact sho is perfectly tamed and broken into the most abject submission. Each morning, when seo first sees her mother-in-law for the dav, sho must throw her self prostrato before her, touching tho ground with her forehead, and kissing the mother-in-law's feet, placing one of them on her head for a moment. This denotes tho perfect subjection of body and mind in which b!io is to remain. Of her husbaud she sees very little. She is of no moro account to him than a little cat or a dog would be. There is Beldoni or never any luve between them ; and no matter how cruelly she may be treated, she can never complaiu to her husband of auything his mother may do, for he would never take his wife's part. Her husband sends to her daily tho portion of food that is to be cooked for himself, her. aud the children. When it is prepared, she places it all on a large brass platter, and it is sent into the husband's room. Ho onU what he wishes, and thou the platter ia sent back with what is left for her aud the children. They sit together on the grouud and cat tua remainder, having neither knives, forks, nor spoons. While she is voung suo is ucvci unui.-u in rm nnvwlie're. When shobecomes very old, if sho makesn vow to go on apilgrim age to some heathen temple, she is per mitted to go to offer a sacrifice cither for herself or for others. But this is ouly occasionally done; very, very few ever uadertako it She always has her tahonrs or household gods ou a shelf iu the house, most frequently over her own bed, and to them she pavs her daily devotions, offer ing them rice aud decorating them with lowers. At length, when sho draws near tho hour of death, and it la tuougut ncr on.i ii.ai aniinvaphinir. she is carrieu down to tho banks of the Ganges, there to breathe her List, in view ot iui uoiy stream whoso waters aro supposed to be efficacious iu cleansing away sin. As soon as tho spirit uas uepaneo, tue remains aie taken to the Burning Ghat (tho nlace for burning the dead bodies). andlaidupona pilo of wood. In a few hours nothing remains uut a uuu ueup of ashes. This is then taken up and cast iuto the river. Such is tho life and death of the happiest, tho most favored among these Bengali women. Tho little girls are married oven as voung as three years of age ; and should tlio boy to w hom such a child is married dio the next day, she is called a widow, and isheucoforth doom ed to perpetual widowhood she can never marry again. As a wutow sue must never ;wcar any jeweiry, nuier dress her hair, never sleep on a bed, nothing but a piece ol matting spreau on tho brick tloor, sometimes not oven that betwecu her aud the cold bricks ; aud no matter how cold tho night may bo. she must have no othercovciiugthan tho thin garment sho has worn during tno uay. Sho must cat but one meal of food a day, and that of thecoarsest kind, and onco in two weeks sho must fast for tweuty-four Lours. Then uot a bit of food, nor a drop of water or medicine, must pass her lips, uot oven were she dying. Sho must never sit down or speak in the presence of her mother-in-law or of her sisters-in-law, unless thev command her to do so. Her food must bo cooked and eaten apart from the other women. She is disgraced, a degraded being. She may never look on at any of tho marriage ceremonies or festivals". It would bo au evil omen for her to do so. Sho may have been a high caste Brahminic woman, but ou her be coming a widow, any, even tho lowest servants, m-y order her to do what they do not liko to do. No woman in the house must ever speak one word of love or pity to her, for it is supposed that if a woman shows the slightest commiseration to a widow she will become one herself. If a widow becomes so ill that she cannot go down to the loom where they take their food, she may lie where sho is and die. Moxkisu Gastronojiv.

Situated as vvcro many of the abbeys in a rich landscape abounding with the abbot a own llocks and herds, and on the borders of a teeming fndiing stream, it might be expected that tho monks who weio laymen and uot priests. would find some agreeable employment iu the preparation of things fit to bo eat en Tim science of coekerrwas of colirso one of trradual improvement, and it is curious to contrast tne simpiiL-nv oi m.: fare allowed by SL Benedict with tho ix nni;i dishes laid before the latter ab bots, where each course was furnished with a "nubility," which waanu allegori cr! tlfv ice in confectionery. Of the lux urious living of celtam monastics, lliral- dus tells u malicious story, it uappenou on a time, that when Henry 11. wai re- turning fioni hunting he was met lit Guildford by the prior and 13 monks of St Svvithin, Wintou, who with gruesome faces und tearful eves prostrated tliem selvcs in u miry place, complaining to tho King that Richard their Bishop, who succeeded Henry of bountiful memory, had withdrawn from them thioe dishes. of which they hud been accustomed to purtako to siippoit them for their lelig- ious exercises. V lien tlio Ivmg luqimed how many dishes remained to them, they replied "only 10," but that they were wont to Imve 13 ou feast days since the time of SI. Swithiu. When tho King heard this ho called his nobles arouud him. "See," he said, "these monks, 1 thought, ptr ocului Dti, their houso witu all tneir a uuey nau ueeu consumeu with liie, or that some grievous and terri blo loss had happened to them, who loll ed themselves in tins miry placo. nut now they accuse their Bishop of keeping back 3 dishes out of 13.

To tho Editor 01 tho Trco l'reis and Timed : The various names which have been at tached to the prominent Uudmarks of like Cliamplain arc cuiioiis and Interesting and worthy of perpetuation. More than In any other section of the country, they singularly mingle the dialects of three distinct nation alities and forcibly lllus rate the genius and taste ot each. Tho alioiigiaes, tho French and tho English successively impressed their distinct names upon the territory, and In stances of each still evist. The Indians were peculiarly hsppy and Impressive In these designations. Their rolling, sonorous terms were embellished by a rich native fancy that imparled a happy significance to every name they applied. It Is deeply to be rejretted that scarcely any of Iho Indian nauics have leen preserved. It cannot be doubted that when they occupied the shores of the lake their atltuent vocabulary and warm Imagination supplied appropriate names to the physical objects, whith have always been so marked and attractive. But the popula tion, which it id evident from their vestiges onco thronged these shores, had been driven from the lake Into the interior by the per petual and rctlprocal ravages of hostile hoi les. When Champlalu entered upon tho scene, silence aud desolation brooded over the entire region. In his course he saw no Indiau hamlet, not a solitary wigwam. Ruthless, savage war, had expelled the pop ulation from their beautiful and attractive abodes. The Fieuch domination succeeded and the nomenclatuie Ihcy conferred In their charac teristic fervid and poetic spirit, was almost eq'tal to the force and euphony of the In diau and aliku significant aud descriptive. The English translated some of theso terms ; some they eipuned and happily adopted others. That the English titles were cold, prosaic aud uuspirilual will appear by the brief comparisjns I propose to present. Two maps exist which largely explain the French and English classification. One was arranged by M. Anger, the Royal "Surveyor, In 1TJJ, "from various memoirs" and pub lished at Quebec in 1719. This map delineates the French seiiruones ou both sides of the lake and indicates the names of many of the prominent localities. The other 19 the well known map of the Province of New York, prepared by Southier, tinder the au thority of Governor Tryou, aud.dcdicated to hlui. This map was published In Loodon iu 1779. The magnificent sheet of water which is known to us as Lake Champlalu, has been designated by v arious names, both by tho ahoiigincs and their civilized successors. It received distinct appellations in tho differ ent dialects of the tribes that habitually tiavcrscd its wateis, tilhcr in friendly inter course or iu their predatory expeditions. Among these havo been prtservV'd t"tiwij dtre guartiitte, "The lake tlmtis thegateof the c-ouutr j ." No naine could be applied, more appropriate aud descriptive.

Chauiplain, looking forth from the field of his ignoble victory, rilled tho placid waters by his own name. The French In after j ears named il La: ircs Iroquois.

Near the close of the sixteenth century, Arant Corlcar, the noble Dutch burgher of Schenectady, whose cour age aud beneficence had preserved a French aruiv from the exterminating veugeance of the Mohawks.while ou his way to Canada, a missiouaiy of peace and mediation, was drowned at the mouth of Willsboro Bay. In commemoration of that sad catastrophe, the lake for a term was designated among tho English aud Dutch as "Coileat's Lake.' Lake George sctms at every period, from its intimate couuict Ion, both couiruircial aud military, with Champlaiu, to have been regarded as an appurtenance or branch of that lake. The Iroquoi's called it Andiatur- vets aud by other tribes It was known as CaiiiJert fit " the tail of the lake. Father Jaqucs, sailing ou its waters upon tt sacred festival, named it St. titicritacnt ; bir vil- ham Johnsou in 17S3, stimulated rather ky loyalty than u Just taste, gave it the name it still bears. Mr. Cooper asserts that "Uori con" was suggested to his mind, by the find inir of that name Inscribed on an ancient man, as that of an extinct Indian trilie ; hut 1 conceive that we may safely asciiliethe inspiration to his ow n poetic fancy. It is a pity lhat the public voice has uot adopted a uame so redolent with beauty, and nhaudou ed the servile tribute of Colonial vassalage. The intimate relations which subsisted be tween the Luglish and the -Mohawks and be tween the French and Algonquin authorize us to accept as authentic the aboriginal names ou these lukes which were undoubt edly coiumunit-alc-d by the Indians.

The coarse, but quite distinct outline of a rci?al disdeni early suggested the namu of Crowu Point to the peninsula iu allu sion to the circunistflutv. The Dutch, who visited it to ovxhaiige for the peltries of Canada, gave it the corresponding name ; the French called it Poinl l.e Coiironnt.

An observer will readily recoguize its force and aptness- a rocky proinon tery falling abruptly into the lake, its huge bulk and piney cicst seem to be floating on the bosom of the waters. The name of the Au Sable river is unaltered and it continues to attest the propriety of the designation by the volume of sau.l which Its current rolls down perpetually, encroaching ou the lake. Yalcour has maintained Its oriainai appellation. The small island lying north of it, is marked on the French charts as St. Michaels, It became Hospital and is now fallen iuto a vulgar Crab Island. Thename of the liver Saranac is probably derived from the aboriginal, and It does not appear how thron.-h various mutatious that name has been re'ained. The French called the stream Sit A-iaut, and on the Southier mso it is laid down SuldMnac. The tournal of Giliilaud, 1705, calls it Satauiac ; and In another place he menliniui tne ai.

Tho Tasiticn cf TckosiI Ircpcrty. There is probably nothing in which tho conservatism of tho American people is shown more markedly Ih-in in the diffi culty experienced in adapting the system of taxation in use in the various States to the changed social and economical condition of the country. In nil the Mates in whichgrcnt nccilniulations of person il property have been created through commerce nnd manufactures, the inadequacy of the present system of rais ing money for the expenses of the Govern ment has long been recognized. In the days before stocks and bonds were known or wide ly distributed that is, from the settlement of the country down to fifty years ng.i-tho rule followed all over the country was to tax everything a man owned, andwS.athc owned was, except cash, almost invariably visible to his neighbors, and incapable ot conceal ment. It consisted for the most part, no matter how rich he was, in land, horses or cattle, slaves, ships, mills, furnaces, forges, distilleries, breweries, ferries and vehicles. The tax-lists of the last century iu most plates, if not all, contained nothing, in fact, ! ,t visible property like the foregoing, and t!..s visilile property was well-known to lie a. the property a taxpayer had. With the g. ovlh of commerce and industry there has giown up a body of wealth iu the fotm of shares iujoint-sloc k Companits, iu thu shape of stock and evidences ot debt duo by such companies, and by towns, cities, and govcrn meuts, which the owner finds no ditUt-ulty iii concealing from public observation, but from which he derived a surer income than from any visible property, and cau sell much moio promptly and advantageously than he can sell a houso or a horse. The bulk of this form of wealth is now very great in some Stales. The farmer, whose possessiems are all still of the old kind, sees no reason why the new form of wiulth should not be taxed as well as the old, and his desire to tax it is increased by the fact that its owners are generally far richer than he is, and flaunt their luxury in his face iu a manner which he oftens finds exasperating. He hears every year of the failure of assessors to get at it, and of the success of divers dodges and subterfuges in concealing It. Proof is furnished him every year that the greater portion of it escapes taxation alto gether. Tho Sei ial Tax Commission which has hist Lee-n sltlinir in New Jersey, and has recently made Its retorl, estimates the amount ot persuiiai pr-iiitriy which iu nine Stale pays no tux -at considerably over 5J00, OOO.OlMJ, while the total value ot the taxable real estate is only 5lJ7,(KW,iX)0.

It Is dint a still greater degree lo me suoiiussiveiiess to it on the pail of the people bred by long usage, and, let us add. by au unusually high degree of public spirit.

The New Jersey Coniuil-sion, which has just mailt! in report, rronoiuici-s it "foreign to the habits and sentiments of thu people" ot that State, and "distasteful both to officials and taxpuytis." la Pennsv lvuuis it has been practically abandoned, and ivhe'rcvcT it ex ists lo-uay mire is n buhi;iu mufn nirainat it tin tho naft ttf all lliti-m who think that taxes ought to be collected m the nujde which will cause least inconvenience to the taxpayer, which will cost least in prortiou to the amount collected, which will offer the fewest incentives to fraud and evasion, and Interfere least with industrial enterprise and activity aud with Ihe introduction of fonign capital. Tim California former, whoso fury against Iht capitalist takes least count of reason or experience, in the new constitution included under the term of "taxable" probity almost every kind of possession ho could think of except "growing crops." The working of this system, on its first trial, has Just been described in a most instructive paper by Mr. T. C. Hopkins, in the Cdifornian. The total assessment lor tuo wuoie iaie ieu iao-, u-.i-rtlip mu' constitution, isevcu nomiually only twenty-one and a half per cent larger lhan that of 1S7D, when "the money kinga" were supposed to bo escaping their Just share of the public burdens. The California Bond and Stock Jhrald Tor December 17, lS-Jl), showed tho value of the stocks aud bonds quoted ou thu Sau Francisco Exchange, and liable to taxation, to be over 4110,000,000, but in Ihe assessment their entire value ap pears as S3.130,S'-tl. Again, the State assess ment puts dowu under the head of "money' 434,07tj.SSd, or over H,000,000 more than that of 1S79. But Ihe report of the liauk Commissioners showed that in Decemlit-r, 1879, the amount of the deposits in the banks throughout the State was in round numbers 55, 000,000, so that about i57,OO0,O0O mint have escaped taxation. The crop yield of the Slate tor 1S70 was istiui ited by the surveyor-general at neaily ib7,000,Ht'0, but un der the ingenious arrangement Ktsive de sxribed this paid nothing whatever. Finn the numerous other crudities, imiHrree lions, and absurdities of the new system, as reveal ed iu the actual working of the constitution, we have not time to enter. Il is enough lo say that as au attempt to get at the personal property of the State, fully and efficiently, it has proved a total failure, while it has uu doolite llv had the effect Isjlh of driviug large lashes ol apitul out 01 tue sine ana of deterring large bodies of capital from en tering it. Mr. Hopkins pronounces tt "use less to lals. OI tslauilslilllg extensive innuii- factures in California while the prcscut laws are iu force." The renietlii'S for this long staudiui con fusion and failure offereel bv lin-reformeis are all based ou Hie principle that rial prop erty owes its value mainly lo iersoual prop erty ; that the more icrsoiial properly vou can induce people to place and help iikii ll the more valuable vou make ii : mm mi" when you tax land and other immovable and une-oncealable things, our tax is gradually diffused over nil other kinds of property, and every kind of owner is reached by it without sending the tuxguthcrcr hi pursuit of him.

At the recent scsiiou of our Legislature some amendments, in the general direction of giving cnkirgcd powers, w e te made In tho general banking law, passing, if our memory serves us aright, with little or no tlcbate. As the law now- elands, five persons may orgsn izo a bank and upou dcjiositing-ood securi ties wilh tho State Treasurer may isstio cir culating notes of nn aggregate xalueof not less than fifty thousand dollars or moro than five hundred thousand. 1 1 now appears that it is questioiieil whether u Stale c-an legally charter a hank of circulation ; und although th-! point is not an immediately practical or important ouc in Vermont it may be worth passing notice la Maine, the prospect of tho passage of the late Funding bill led the malingers of many of the National lianksto apply for charters for a return to the old Mate system in case circumstances should render that desirable, and the applications were responded to by the Legislature. But Gov. Flaisted has Vetoed the new e barters on the ground of public pobcy, and liecause, he says, "It has become the settled policy of the general Government to control the entire credit circulation of the country. Whether that circulation shall be issued ami its vol ume controlled by the Government for the benefit of the whole people, or by tho Ns- tional banks for the benefit of Iheir stock holders, remains for the future deter- mination of the American people, to not i0 m lJe public qhe greater pan of the be settled In their wi'doiu and in tLcir , m0,1(.y comes in large suhsciipli tin, of thv own good time." In ante-bellum days j ni,0lj amount ttbaUt three q'iirters lielng no one questioned tho right of States to J contributed hy twenty eit'ot Individuals charter banks of circulation and their notes, 1 There are two subscribers of ri',000 each, though not legal tender, comprised the bulk j tlaee ut jio,OOJ, eighteen of three of of tho currency.

The final destination of the ptin-i-were practically taxed out of existence the j ra remains wUhin lbs control of the nnj .r measurcs taken being really coercive on the jlv (If subscribers. Stato banks and being actively resisted in many quarters. The question fin.xlly reach ed the Suprene Court of the Unitexl States and was there (Chief Justice Chase presiding and only Justices Davis and Nelson dfsscnt ing) dec ided against tho State banks. It was held that "Congress may restrain.by suitable enactments, the circulation as money of any notes not issued under its own authority. Without this power, indeed, its attempts to secure a suund and uniform currency for the country must bo futile." Chief Justice Chose believed not only In the conslilutional right of tho Federal Government to control the circulation, but he believed It to L the duty of the Government to do so. In a pri vate letter in w hich he refers to the case JoJt alluded to, he says : "I read an opinion yes terday which cost mo no littlo labor, and I w as glad to have the privilege ot reading it, for I think, it of great importance to all tho business interests of the country, and espe cially to men and women who depend on their daily labor for elaily livelihood. It simply affirms Ihe power or Congress to fur nish the money circulation of the country, whether in coin or credit, arid restrain the issue of currency by State b.uiks a-nl individ uals without authority of National law."

Two extremely interesting census bulletins have Just been issued, one giving details c-f the distribution by sex of the United States, and the oilier the relative proportion of native and foreign-born persons. Taking the first It appears tint in the whole country there arc males ami 21,IU3.S4I females, lie lug 1)0.510 of tho latter to every 100.000 of the former, and an actual surplus of SSS.-DS males. In 1ST0, according to the census of that year, the males numbered 19.403,6ii5, and the females 19,0ti l.SOO, and the rati.) was OT.SOl females to 100,000 males. Tho in crease of males has appalcntly been 459,53'J greater than the increase of females, and the excess of males has almost doubled iu that time though something must lie nllovvetl for the Incompleteness and laaecnrae-y of Ihe census cf teu years ugo. It is a remarkable fatt that Ihere is an ex cess of ft males iu every Stato lairdering e n Ihe Atlantic ocean or the Gulf of Mexico ex cept Deluvare, Flotilla, Mississippi and Texas, uud iu 00 other Stato except Tennes see.
