Even there, however, it says, he was not
free from public annoyance, for on his ar
rival at Londonderry, he was for some
reason or other suspected Of being a Fen

and detained under a strong guard for
several hours, when his true character be-
coming known he was honorably dis
charged. He is now residing with his

Cyrus W. Field, in his speech deliveret'
at a farewell banquet at Delmonlco's, IN
New York, given by Sir Morton Peto to
his American friends, said that but for the
prompt and generous interpOsition Of that
gentleman in 1850 the enterprise OF the
Crystal Palace of the great exhibition OF
1851 might have failed. When others
hesitated and offered small amounts, Sir
Morton Peto announced his name for
$50, 900. Mr.. Field also said that Mr..
Brassey, a gentleman associated with Sir
Morton Peto in many ofhis undertakings,
had been the backboneof the International
Telegraph expedition OF last year, and both
these gentlemen had eve been the last
friends of our country.

Mr.. Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, to
whose novel system of phonetic writing,
or "patent language" the Chicago RePu6-
LcGn has been paying some slight atten-
ton, has written a good natured letter TO
that paper, of which the following jocose
paragraph is an extract: When a boy, l
liked to play n shot BALI in the game call
ed fcorner bali" The boys inside the
square used to get "socked' right smartly,
but we always took it in good part wheth-
er we were the seekers or socEees. In
this little game 1 find myself inside the
corner, and am perfectly willing to stand
my turn in getting "sOcked." But play
| fair gentlemen. Stick to the rules Of the
game. Don't let your boys throw dirt or
"dornics," remembering that it is all in tho
family" Next time, perhaps, I'll be on
the corner, and you or my ardent admir-
er may be in the middle, and if we get up
a "hot ball" L trust you will take the
"socking'' as good naturally as l now do.
When l box with friends l always put on
soft gloves, so that we may part with the
same mutual friendship as when we began
to spar. But when my opponent is II cop,
l go in on my muscle and make the best

A pleasant little reunion took place be-
tween Sir Morton Peto and his associates
and their American friends, at the Claren-
don Hotel, in New York, Just before the
English visitors set sail for home. They
all sat down to lunch, over which they
had a parting chit-chat, in which it trans
pired that the browning point Of their
visit has been their brief %sojourn i'll Phila-
delphia, where they had been entertained
by the mother and sister of James McHen-
ry, Esq, the gentleman who projected
the visit to this country. Before
starting, a correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin tells us that fair fingers
attached a miniature American flag to the
lapel of each English gentleman, and
with the Stars and Stripes flying over the
heart of each, they set sail for their native
shores, bearing with them a thousand
pleasant memories of their American tour.
1t is perhaps worthy of note that Mr..
Woods, of the London Times, who joined
the party on their homeward voyage, has
gone home with the American eolors fly
ing at the fore" Sir Morton Peto and
McHenry gave the sister of the latter
gentleman in Philadelphia $4,000, to be
distributed for charitable purposes at her
residence. We are ready to warmly well
come all such Englishmen to our shores,
not that we want them or need them to ]
to give, but because we love to cherish such
sympathy with our people and
country. r
