We have not seen ihe account that Mr. W

spandsnt Of the L9ldon Timss, gives Of his
travels in hmsrica; but from SONS extracts nom

We are rather pleased than othsrwise wLh this
because Il IS an excellent and fitting return for
the toa8yim which Americans make haste to
exhibit toward every prsteati0us foreigner who
condesesnis % honor rs with bis personal pres
euce-and his kicks # we eaunot learn by
the experiences a tla past 10 this respect, Wc
certainly deserve, and richly, the lssh tbas any
and every newcomer may lay upon US. Every
foreigner who possesses even modicum Of
selErespect must heartily despise the trucking
hunkyism Sc frequently exhibited In thi5 eouu-
Try toward European adveatursss, and when-he
discovers that We rather ike IT, since We keep
Tepesdng ihs sarvility and paying well for IT, It
IS not surprising that every new opportunity IS
eagerly seizsd upon TO excofate Us without
mercy
Alf Russell appears TO have managed his
caris very adroitly. He landed in New York
at a period when ia rightly judged the South
was very much excited sgsinst the North, ard
when be very we'll Enew that any touches which
would exhibit her in an odio8s light would at
once be the Z" oDeu sesame to him in the South.
provided the picture should precede him. which
he took good care should b the fact. When be
came South therefore. the welcome extended to
him was a hearty and generous oae. His let
ters the Tunes had been resdi and WI hout a
thought that he woald show up the South in
eolors darker than those with which be had
painted the North In g word, he was honized,
az he meant to be in the la1d OF the cotton
plant Well what did he zee and h0W was be
p.eased Why, nothing bat savaga state of
society, which made him unhappy II We may

He seemed to be airsid he should BY some
oGi and unlaclIy chance, get stray bullet IA

] His conversation turns uDon bullets, sprses and
murders and be appears as if apprehensive that
I he should never escape with a whole skin IN

and what q light heart he must have carried II
I his bosom, when St last safe distance inter

Strangely enough, his letters from the Soutl

Mr. Russell seems to have passed through tn
South without learning anything Of It. He ss'
lust enough to lead him into error, which, {
