Apropose of Lord Lytton and his
bad writing, which has lately been the
subject of paragraph which has gone
the round ofthe papers, we may men,
ton that Lord Derby writes very
meat, but very lady like, running hand;
that lord Palmerston wrote boldly and
most leeibly; that pisraeli writes a
large and angular running hand that
Lord Russell writes like a lady, but
with small and i'll formed letters
very much such hand as that of the
late, Sir Robert Peel Lord Lytton
writes slovenly and carelessly, and In
all but illegible manner; Lord Hough-
ton writes, an upright scrawl; Mr..
Bright in small, neat, scholar like
characters - Lord Lyndhurst wrote
fine, large, bold. legible hand; while
that of Lord Brougham is fine, large
and bold, but wonderfully difScult to

appears to have been completely re-
stored; indeed, L have never seen him

going to the railroad for Potsdam.
He rode in low Russian cabriolet
drawn by a single chestnut horse,
which. though little lame. drew His
Excellency over the rough pavement
at the stunning pace allowed only to
magnates by the police; his face wore
the broadcast ofsmiles, and sitting bolt |
upright in the middle of the seat he
waved first one hand and then the |
other In answer to the military salutes
he received. Though the street was
full, and he attracted much attention,
not lady drew back In courtesy, and |
save the officers, not a man touched |

A Galveston paper says: General |
Loren Kent, collector of this port, |
met the epidemic as bravely as he met /
an enemy in arms. Up to the night /
on which he died there was thought |

was thought to be dying, and after he
had rallied, said that he had thought

his brother, who was in an adjoining
room, and greeted him with an ex-
