Cincinnati Enquirer,
Some National Dances.
National dances, like national cus
toms, are, to a great extent, the reflex
of the character and of the taste of a
people. They deserve to be studied,
not for these reasons alone, but also as
relics of ancient customs connected
with the home as well as with the pub
lic life of a nation. We begin with the
dance of the Ghaziehs in Egypt. The
professional dancers of modern Egypt
belong to the tribe of the Ghawazi, a
kind of Eastern gypsies. They form a
community among themselves, and live
in secluded parts of the towns, or under
tents. Since 1834 they are no longer
allowed to perform in public, but on
festive occasions they are invited to the
houses or country seats of the rich.
One section, the Ghaziehs, are dancers ;
another section, the Almehs, make sing
ing their profession. Among both the
handsomest women of Egypt are found,
and it is a weird sight to see them per
form their peculiar dance by torchlight
at a country seat of some pacha, to
which European travelers are some
times admitted. They commence by
advancing toward one another with
outstretched arms, the fingers pointing
to the ground, in a peculiar, slow and
shu filing step. They then assume a
leaping r.tep, chasing around in a cir
cle and clapping the castanets, and ulti
mately place their arms akimbo and
whirl around, moving the upper half
of the body from the waist from one
side to the other to a slow and meas
ured cadence. As the music grows
faster the dancers suddenly resume the
shuffling step of the beginning, as if
their legs had been tied together, after
which the whole body is moved in a
peculiar manner. It is difficult to de
scribe the strange gyrations of the Gha
ziehs. it is even more difficult to imi
tate them. The two halves of the body
separated by the waist seem to move
independently of each other, following
the stormy rhythm of the music pro
duced by violins, dulcimers and flutes
With the ancient Greeks, dancing and
gymnastics formed an essential part of
their education to develop personal
grace and beauty of form. Both arts
were not only practiced on festive oc
casions, but extensively introduced into
their religious rites and stage perioral
ances. and celebrated poets, statesmen
generals and philosophers, like Plato,
Sophocles, Epaminondas, and even
Socrates, recommended and cultivated
the terpsichorean art. Merusius de
scribes one hundred and eighty-nine
dances of the ancient Greeks ; but of
far the greater number only the name
is known in moderu times, although
numerous sculptures, especially bas
reliefs, are extant, from which the an
cient dances might be studied. Among
the most celebrated was the Pyrrhic
war dance, the circular dances called
Hormos" and " Geranos," and a bac
chanalian dance known under the name
of "Cordax." The love for dancing
remains unaltered in modern Greece
On every festive occasion birth, mar
riage, and even death symbolical and
rhythmical dances play a part, and the
Greek peasant girls are as fond of their
country dances as in olden times. The
men perform pantomimic tableaux like
the Albanian robber dance, and the
women often assemble on the seashore
or village green to dance the " Eomai
ka." In Attica and in the island of
Crete a picturesque dress, a glorious
sky and magnificent landscape sur
roundings combine to make a ' Eomai
ka," danced by girls as handsome as
they are merry, a sight never to be for
gotten. In a grove of oaks, laurels and
oleander, open toward the shore, they
form two chains, and follow the grace
ful turnings and windings of two lead
ers, who, tambourine in hand, mark
the time to the accompaniment of the
lute, chasing and opposing one another
with playful caprice, supported by the
chain of their followers. If the leaders
are tired, they throw a scarf to one of
their companions, and the dance begins
anew to the delight of the palikars, who
nock round the charming group as
spectators.
The " Jiolotschey, performed in the
streets of Wallachian towns by bands
of men who join for the purpose, was
almost unknown until the last war
brought the manners and customs of
the nationalities which inhabit the val
ley of the lower Danube under the
notice of Western observers. Like the
skakava in Bohemia and the English
hornpipe, the " Kolotschey " is one of
the hopping or capering dances which
are in special favor in countries where
the women lack the necessary grace and
agility to rehne the terpsichorean art
To the tune of a shrieking violin, ac
companied by the standard bearer's
plaintive song, the leader, with the aid
of a long pole, jumps about in antics,
which, however, are not without a cer
tain uncouth grace, and his compan-.
ions follow. The higher the jumps
and the capers the more spectators are
pleased. A special costume, with a
row of jingling bells fastened below the
knees, is worn as professional outfit by
the Kolotschey dancers, and the collec
tor of money wears a Venetian mask
and sleeveless jacket for what reason
we never were able to ascertain.
The Hungarians are passionately fond
of dancing, and the stirring tunes of
the " Czardas," played on the violin by
gypsy musicians, never lull to electrify
young and old. Six, eight, ten and
more couples place themselves in a cir
cle, the dancer passing his arm round
the waist of his partner. The music
commences with an andante, and as
long as this lasts the dancer turns the
girl to the right and the left, clapping
his spurred heels together, slapping
his boots with the hands, and stamping
the ground with heels and toes alter
nately. His partner puts her hand on
his shoulder, and at intervals jumps
from the ground without turning or
changing her place. Soon the violins
and clarinets begin to quicken, and the
movements grow wilder and wilder.
The dancers wheel their partners round,
lift them from the ground and leap in
the air. The girl puts one hand on the
hips and leaves the other to her part
ner, who contrives to perform the most
astonishing antics with perfect grace
and within an incredibly small space.
The " Czardas " is the same in pas
sionate fervor when the Csikos (horse
herdsmen) assemble at the wayside inn
as when the stately Hungarian nobles
enjoy their eminently national dance at
the imperial palace at Olen. On such
occasions the military band suddenly
disappears, and gypsy musicians, clad
in black, enter the orchestra with cym
bals, violins and clarinets, to strike up
the " Czardas " as only Gitahos can do.
Westport, Conn., has a couple aged
respectively 93 and 91. If they live un

French Politics.
Here and there a nobleman, like the
Marquis de Talleyrand Perigord, re
volts against the opinions of his class,
and says that he has hopes for the fu
ture of his country ; but these excep
tions are extremely rare and will
hardly ever be found in the smaller,
noblesse. ' La republique," savs the
marquis himself, " utant privoe de la
faveur des hautes classes, ne pent
ehercher son appui que dans ce que
l'on est convenu d'appeler les couches
infurieures de la societe." This is true;
so true that, not only the republic as
an institution, but even each individu
al republican, whatever may be his
personal merits, is " prive de la faveur
des hautes classes." He can associate
with a wealthy republican middle class,
but not even with the smaller aristocra
cy. It might have been supposed that
in a country like France, where there
are so many political parties, a man be
longing to one so influential and so well
behaved as that of the moderate repub
licans might be tolerated anywhere if
he were well educated and had pleasant
manners ; but the theory of the mon
archist circles is that there are no
moderate republicans they are all
" communards." Merely to express
his approval of any degree of political
or religious liberty is quite enough to
draw down that evil name upon a man,
and, when once it has been applied to
him. it is an indelible stain. Suppose
you venture to say, for example, that
the liberty of the press is not an un
mitigated evil, that a general liberty of
public worship might be desirable, that
the liberty of political meeting is com
patible with social order, you are a
marked man, you are set down as a
" communard " at once. You may say
such things in rural cafes where repub
licans meet, you are not allowed to say
them in good society in the presence
of ladies. You may not even express a
liking for representative government
or speak respectfully of the legislature
The proper tone is to sneer at all popu
lar representation, to declare that there
is no necessity for any kind of liberty.
and that the country could be much
better governed without any houses of
talk. Ion are not allowed to say any
thing in favor of popular education
because that is desired by the republi
cans. In short, " the tone of good so
ciety " is reactionary to an incredible
decree, and a moderate liberal, in rural
France, has to avoid the gentry and
keep to the middle class.
The defeated parties in h ranee are
exasperated to such a degree that they
have bidden farewell to everything re
sembling delicacy where political ques
tions are concerned. The consequence
is that a republican, however moderate,
cannot go into the reactionary society
of a country town without hearing the
characters of his friends attacked in the
most merciless way. If he defends
them, he is at once looked upon as an
enemy ; if he sits tamely at a dinner-
table when a friend is slandered with
out uttering a word in his defense, he
feels himself, and he is a cowardly
wretch who has no claim to the respect
of others or to his own. Then why not
leave such society at once, and confine
himself to his own political friends?
It is easy to say this ; but what if the
man belongs to some profession in
which success is not possible without
the countenance of the rich t Take,
for example, the case of an architect in
a country town wno nas to mase nis
way in the world, has the misfortune to
cherish moderately li beral opinions, or,
in other words, to feel a sentiment of
loyalty toward the present government
of his country. The poor do not build
houses ; so he must know rich people
in order to advance in his profession
The difficulty is complicated in his case
by the necessity for standing well with
the clergy if he is to work for churches
and convents. Political animosity is
so strong m I ranee that people would
rather employ an inferior man of their
own color than a clever man who is
suspected of republicanism ; and the
consequence is that an architect, in such
a town as we have been describing, is
placed in a most embarrassing position
if he happens to be a republican.
Another great social disadvantage re
sulting from the hatred of certain
classes to republicanism occurs in mat
rimonial alliances. A young man's
chances of making a good match are
terribly curtailed by even a suspicion
of republicanism ; we mean, of course,
in the provinces. The best matches,
from the worldly point of view, are
nearly always'made by young men who
haTe attracted some degree of notice as
reactionaries ; and the more violent and
intolerant they are thej better their
cuances seem to be. j.ne hands of
most French heiresses are directly or
indirectly at the disposal of the clergy ;
and the clergy, perhaps with good
reason, both dread and dislike the re
public. The consequence ,of this is a
constant tendency to keep wealth that
is already earned in the hands of the
reactionary parties, and to keep the re
publicans as a class down in the social
scale within the limits of the .smaller
bourgeoisie. - How long this will last
if the republic continues to be the po
litical regime of France it is of course
difficult to determine ; but there are
few signs at present that the aristocra
cy, or what considers itself such, will
ever.frankly reconcile itself with the
democracy. It would be far better for
the country if there could be something
like a cordial -reconciliation between
classes ; but the republicans avenge
their social slights by carefully ex
cluding the aristocracy from the Gov
ernment, both of the state and of the
departments and towns. Then the ar
istocracy complains that it has no
chance of taking office under a real
republic, and the social warfare is
handed down, with all the hatred and
prejudice which it engenders, to be
continued, perhaps, by another'gener
ation. JV. Y. Home Journal.
The shrewdest of men are sometimes
taken in. Barnum, 'wanting to be shaved
went into a barber's shop. The place
was pretty fall of enstomers, and,
anxious to save time. Barnum sot an
Irishman to give him his turn on con
dition that he paid for both. Next day
he found Pat had made the most of the
opportunity, the knight of the razor
presenting the following little bill for
payment : To one shave, twenty cents ;
to one hair cutting, twenty cents ; to
one shampooing, tifty cents ; to one
hair-dveing, one dollar ; to one bottle
hair dye, one dollar ; to one bath,
seventy-five cents ; total, three dollars
and sixty-five cents. Barnum settled
p, and turned the bargain to account
by having a picture painted lor" his
museum, representing the Irishman as
he appeared before and after he had
passed through the barber's hands. I
Protect the System from Malaria.
It is possible to do this even in regions of
country where miasma is most rife, aDd
where the periodic fevers which it causes as
sume their most formidable types. The im
mense popularity of Hosteller's stomach
Bitters i9 very largely attributable to the fact
of its efficacy as a remedy for chills and fever,
bilious remittents, ana as a preventive ol tne
various forms of malarial disease. In those
portions of the West and South where com
plaints of this nature prevail, and in the
Tropics, it is particularly esteemed for the
protective influence which it exerts; audit
has been very widely adopted as a substitute
for the dangerous and comparatively inef
fective alkaloid, sulphate of quinine. Physi
cians have not been among the last to con
cede its merits, and the emphatic profession
al indorsements which it has received have
added to the reputation it has obtained at
home and abroad.
