In fact, they are more suitable for itineran'
shows. The material of which the figures Of
the human savages are formed Is mean, aad
the few cart loads If earth and stumPs
Of trees give a poor idea of the jungle
ard forest. In fact, these groups give ohe
rather q disgusting idea Of wild men, AMI
mails and forests The specimen as Of savage
tribes should have been carved ia wood and
then colored. The beasts are, Individually
we'll represented certainly by stuffed skins OF
them. There should have been n" attempt to
represent the mighty forest and prairie. Tho
illustrations OF savage men and brutes should
have been surrounded only by the indigenous
plants Of the countries Of which such creatures
are natives. The floral and horticultural adorn-
ments Of the Crystal Palace are superb; the
grounds are too limited but they are laid out
with a grandeur suitable to the palace building.
Some time since a gentleman named Haag, an
| Austrian by birth, but an American by adop-
ton, who took part against the Austrian gov
eminent in 1913, projected a plan for the ex-
| ploration of Australia to the English nation,
which was highly approved Of The plan was
adopted aud some surprise was felt that Haag
was not appointed to the head OF it. The excuse
was that 1t was not seemly for a foreigner to be
at the head of an English exploring expedition
paid for by English money. Haag went after
wards to the seat of war in the East, as cor
respondent of London morning paper.
Almost the first thing the Austrians did after
joining Turkey, and when they were about to
enter the Principa lities, was to induce Omer
Pacha to forbid Haag to follow his occupation
as newspaper correspondent by ordering him
to quit the Turkish camp Haag is an Ameri-
eau citizen. His taking part against the Aus
trian government in 1913 was most probably
he reason why he was treated SO scurvily in
| England in the Australian expedition aifar.
The scheme divnlged by the NEw York HaE-
| AID OF DR.. COttman and the Gar Nicholas,
has created no little stir in England Some
very fierce articlIs have appeared in tae Times
and Daily .te,cs on the subject.
| Patents arc now taking out by various per-
! sons for the manufacture of cheaper paper
than that made from rags. There is every rea-
son to believe that materials have been found
far surprising rags in cheapness, which caa be
manufactured easily into paper. These Disco
veries will effect two-fold object. They will
cause o cheaper paper to be manufactured, aud
will cause the price Of rags to fall. The Times
newspaper is limited now in the number Of its
circulation from the impossbility oil getting
paper in sufficient quantities. Large paper
makers eagerly buy rags now in retail quand-
ties, and convert them Immediately into paper,
SO great is the demand for paper and so limit
ed is the supply of rags. The great difficulty
which newspaper proprietors in England feel is
the absolute scarcity Of paper. There is now
no doubt but what the English newspaper stamp
|
because the Chancellor of the Exchequer must
take off the paper duty along with it, which
cannot be done until some substitute is found
for it.
. Sanders Swiss letter on the right Of asylum
has created an immense sensation here. The
, Times published it first at length, on Monday
, 2lst, with polite introduction merely Tht
Morning Post, the court journal, followed OF
Tuesday giving at the same time, for tho amuse
| ment of the arstccracy, whole Column o.
laughahle invective on the phrase sovereign
Citizen which was no doubt abhorrcnt to its
parasitic ears. On Wednesday the liberal pa
per, the Morning .9drertsser, gave powerful
leader upon the right Of asylum, ADD exposing
the misei able subserviency of Switzerland ia
Austrian dictation in respect to the refugees
The Times then published leader on Thurs
day, in which, after displaying its own histori
: cal ignorance of Switzerland in regard to the
important fact Of the reorganization Of the
republic in 1S4S, upon the base Of the c0nstitu-
ton Of the United States Of America, it goes
into caviIling criticism upon the style and
eonst ruction OF the article, but winds 10 BY
admitting the whole argument-the sacrednes
OF the right of asy Ium. 1t asserts at the SANK
time, in order to iDjure the force OF the appeal
what, unhappily, is disgracefully unhue--tha
the right of asy lum is held as sacred in Swift
z,lland Az in England. Unnoticed this mon
strous niquity was in successful operation on
I
been called TO ii. there is not journal in Eng.
land that would venture to sustain it-indced
! believe may say, in justice to the English
chaTacter-would wish to do so.
The weekly press, which az whole is much
more liberal than the dailies, will speak to-mor-
row, Saturday. will send you copies if there
is any thing worth while.
The excitement in the republican world in re-
gard to the appeal increases every day. The
Spanish Grand Lodge at Madrid holds ct pre-
sent the de stinies of Spain. It's branch at Lon
don has taken the letter in hand, and having
had it translated into Spanish, has ordered ir
different forms three editions. One for the
mail, to be put in the hands Of every voter pre-
vious to the election OF the Cortes, and fivt
Thousand in illuminated letter, on fine paper
for framing, to be accompanied by an eloquen
and spirit-stirrng appeal from the junta to th'
republicans of Spain. In Italian there arc tw,
editions, one with Saffi's bold and stirring ad
dress to his country men attached, published OF
tissue paper in diamond type for the secret so
cieties, where there is no free press.
Our minister Cas-. at Rome, is, ] learn, OK
ctedinely unpopular in that city. His condac
during the republic is not forgotten by the con
quered republicans, and he has not been NOR
fortunate since with those whom he SO fatal,
compromised himself to please One of tn
irst'acts of the Italian republic will be to orde
him out Of the country as an Austrian ally.
