Lola Montez on "John Bull at Home"


Lola MOntez OH "John Bull at Home"
The notorious Lola, the darlin' daughter Of
Limerick, lectured, an evening or two since,
in New York, before q crowded audience, very
few Of whom were ladies'. She is thus re-
ported in one of the Eastern papers;
She admitted the sterling worth of the Eng
lish character, and professed hearty affec
ton for bluff, honest John Bull. But, like
everybody else, he had his weaknesses, and
she claimed the privilege of taking peep at
the comic side of his character. America
still greyerentially calls England "Mother," |"
and each may be proud of tho relationship.
The two nations are too much alike to allow o
traveller in either to make book regarding
the differences between the people; hence
tourists are forced to look about them for &C e.
centric peculiarities. Taking these for their
illustrations, English people have formed some
queer ideas Of Americans. Dickens found q
sharp nosed pig or spittoon fit subjects for
philOsophic Contemplation.
The English are an active, energetic, busi-
ness people, and II is no metaphor 10 say that
"England is the Workshop Of the world. An
Englishman's walk and general bearing al
ways indicate that he is going somewhere,
aud that he is going to do Something when be
gets there. For trading, traficing, sehemiug,
aud energetic enterprise, Engishmen have
never been surpassed, and never equalled
except by Americans. Our "isms" and our
''notions," she said, are not original Yankee
institutions, but are improvements upon En-.
glish characteristics. The English called us
nation of quacks, but in all her travels and
experience she never saw 30 much quackery
as is to be found in England. e5as. al.
She had seon London placarded with quacs
| advertisements Of Glove Powders" Of prepa
rations for making all sorts of people beau
tiful, and Of "Anodyne necklaces" for children
cutting teeth, the use Of which would bring
the teeth through without trouble or pain
The speaker continued in lively and slightly
sarcastic strain, to touch upon tho many
foibles to be found in John Bulls character
laughing at his gallantries, his philanthropy
his snobbery, and concluded by saying that
with all his faults, John was good hearted
Jolly, joval fellow, fond Of his roast beef an,
his joke, and exceedingly sociable when h
had mind to be so. The lecture was wei
received, and heartily applauded in the righ
places. at.r.. 3D. ssFsFsrrs5E ..H z
