Retaliatory Duties.
The “Quarterly Review,” in its last idsue, follows up Lord Salisbury’s
rétaliatory duties on imports, ‘ We huve,’’ says the reviewer, “two of the best markets in the world in which we ,could raise revenue by duties—England and India—and it may well be doubted whether the Governments which are now so much attached to enormous traffics would care to run the risks of fiuding these markets practically closed to them If public opinion on the subject con- tinues to move in its preset direction we may make up our minds that the ex-
i
periment will be tried. Doctrinaries may continue te lose themselves amid the wilderness of sophistical
arguments and delusive theories, but the workingmen will go straight to the root of the matter. They have so often been told to take example from tne United States in everything, that it seems only reasonable they should ask why not dothis also, The free trade party in that country does not propese to abolish import duties, but to impose them for reyenue purposes only. If that is. free trade there, as the highest authori-' ties here certify it is, why should it not be good enough for us! We may not recover by any exertious all the ground we have lost, but we may be able to avert the loss of more. The trade of the world will henceforth be divided among different nations, and the most enterprising and the most skilful will get: the lion’s share of it provided that a fair’ field and no favor is afforded to all. This is what we have to secure. Probably it) may become the duty of the Conserva-' tive party to show the people how to: secure it,” et

‘aware of the fact. A few words about the habits of this! interesting bird will doubtless prove in-! teresting. The American woodcock (scolopax or philohela minor) differs fromm the European (scolopax rusticola) in be-| ing smaller and having lighter-colored plumage. The American woodcock gen- erally spends two or three of the winter months in the Southern States,and comes north again at the commencement of! the hatching season. By the end of July the young birds are feathered and well grown. The woodcock is a most voracious eater, and the number of worms and small insects destroyed by one bird, as shown while in captivity, is astonishing’ The feeding-hours are in the evening and early in the moruicg, while during the heat of the day the bird seeks some cool, shady covert, where he nestles close to the ground with his bill resting on his breast. | At the commencement of the season woodcecks are found on low wet grounds er on hillsides where brooks form marshy spots, but as the season advances and the summer heat dries up the brooks they go into boggy swamps at the foot of the hills. To be successful at weodcock shooting the sportsman-needs to be a crack shot, because a more uncertain bird than the woodeock cannot be found, and when suddenly flushed in a dense thicket rises with a long whistling sound, and unless the hunter shoots at that moment he will be apt to waste his lead upon the sur- rounding trees. To secure a good bag, dogs are exceedingly necessary, avd the pointer or setter are for this sport simply invaluable. ‘The woodcock shooter must also be well acquainted with the tricks, ‘haunts, and habits of the bird, and be ‘able to assist his dog in tracing it to its ‘resting place. Should he not possess ‘these qualifications, it would be better for ‘him to seek other game, for although he might enjoy plenty of hunting, it is riorally certain that he would not be burdened with a heavy bag at the end of the hunt.
As a table delicacy the woodcock ranks first amongst game birds, and has rightly been styled a ** royal dish.” It ‘would be almost impossible to desire a ‘more luscious morsel than a woodcock ‘prepared after the old receipt, viz: wrapping in buttered paper aud baking jin wood embers. There are various ‘other modes of preparation, and indeed ‘to serve woodcock well is justly consider- ‘ed one of the arts of cookery.

COURAGE.
/
|
| THE QUALITY IN MEN AND WOMEN. ;
eee
Frem the Speciator.
Ceurage undoubtedly implies alacrity, and even pleasure, in facing peril from which many shrink, a spirit that zises to the encounter with the davger; but whether or not courage properly implies a right and sufficient justification for such an encounter is another question. If it does, then we should say that women are often more courageous than men. since the existence of a sufficient motive for encountering peril makes a vast deal more difference, on the whole, to their nerve than it makes to the nerve ef men. There is hardly a mother who will not encounter pain and shame and peril with a firmer heart to save her child than even a brave man would show for the same*’ end. But then compare the two in moneuts of peril when there is no such noble motive to string the nerve of either, and the chances are that the man will be the braver of the two—not, perhaps, that heart is bolder, but that his mind passes much less easily into the collapse which fear brings, and is less dependant upon an exalted emotion for the resistance it opposes to anything like moral para- lysis. If Miss Cobb is right,and courage implies the existence ef some motive of absolute obligation on behalt which peril is to be faced, then women, so far as they really enter into such motives, are, we believe, braver than men, because they live more singly and heartily in the purer emotions to which they surrender themselves. If, on the contrary, courage is to cover all the cases of self-possessioa and coolness in peril—whether there is or is not a high and disinterested motive for confronting the peril—then meu are the most courageous, fer their tempera- ment is the most combative; there is more in it. which rises to an emergency only because there is an emergency to rise to; more of immediate reaction against anything that has an aggressive look than theire is in women. We should say that the minds of women do not rebel as instinctively against mere collapse as do the minds of men. Where there is any profound af- fection which steels them against such a collapse, they are more wholly imper- vious to it than men. But where there is no such antidote te collapse, the col- Japse of horror sets in much more easily iu their minds than it does in the stur- dier and less mobile natures of the male sex. Men are less prone to be unnerved Women are more prove to be nerved by their affections to great actions than men. Butit is not only by their affections that women are made notably courage- ous. Often they are made so by very inferior interests, especially by the in- tense conservatism of their proprietary interests. We believe that women much ottener—oftener, at least, in proportion to the need—risk their lives in defence of their property than men. Women who would faint away in the face of ship- wreck, or eyen at the approach of an angry bull, will. constantly go alone about a house at night when they believe burglars to be attempting the house, without any panic at all. This is, no doubt, because they realize less clearly the brutality of the sort of men who rob houses than men do, and are, in fact, rendered fearless by their comparative ignorance of the world. So, likewise, men are often exceedingly fearless at sea, or in danger from ra‘lway catas- trophes, till their nerves have once ne- ceived a serious shock from either cause, after which they become as liable to col- lapse of nerve as a woman. Charles Dickeus, who behaved like a hero in the terrible Southeastern railway accident, acknowledged that his nerve received such a shock in it that he could not after- wards drive ip an ordinary hansem-cab without spasms of extreme terror. The comparative fearlessness either of unim- aginative natures or of complete iguor- ance, has hardly the right to the name of courage. If is only insensibility to a particular class of paralyzing fears.
