The Town OF SITKA IN ALAsKA.-The vii
lage contains forty or fifty houses. The popuia-
ton consists of one thousand Indians and two
thousand dogs. OF the dogs, all but one are of
the same shaIp-eared, wolfish type seen among
the Indians OF the plains The execution was n
bandy-legged, lop-eared cur of civilized breed,
the only one among the two thousand that
showed lack ofcivility by barking at our heels.
The houses much more resemble the sem-sub-
terranean aSodcs of the Laplanders and
EsquimauX than the wigwams of American In
dams. Like the oak described by the American
poet, they extended as far into the earth as
above it. Some of them are from 90 to 80 feet
square, are luilt of very wide cedar panks,
many of them more than four feet across
worked out by these rude people.
We entered several. Creeping through aper-
lures, both square and round, not more than
three feet in diameter, we descended flights of
steps into the large single room. In the centre

The Tichborne affair has many surprising and
curious aspects; but its most mysteriously dis
gushing feature is, that il should prove so diff
cult to distinguish between real baronet, the
descendant and representative of one of the
oldest and most aristocratie British families, the
iuheritor, Of coarse, of all its honor, culture
and ancestral eraces which have been accumu-
lating for centuries, and butchers boy, an ex-
tremey scampish disTeputuble butchers boy at
that. All agree that if the person whose name
is 10 dispute were Arthur 0lton, the butcher,
cattle drover, horse-thief and vagabond, he
would fit the character exactly; he is Just as
gross, vulgar, ignorant and brutal as might be
expected Of person of such antecedenls; but
all this furnishes no trusted argument against
his identity with the lost Roger. His moth
er, that is, Sir Rogers mother believed this
lumpish, meanly cunning rascal TO be the son
she had long mourned, because she saw in him.
doubtless, the qualities, physical, mental and
moral, which she had noticed with more
or less admiration in other Tichbornes;
and many family and personal friends
of the lost heir confirmed her opinion.
They are doubtless right, so far as this,
that, if he is not Tichborne, he is an uncom-
monty good specimen of the Tichborne kind of
man; but the Illuminating part of the business
is, that he is an equally good specimen of a de-
cidedly bad sort of London butcher, demoralized
by colonial vagabondage. If the lost man had
been Lord Roger, as he might and as worse men
have been, the absurdity of the situation would
have been little more conspicuous, since it
would have appeared that the constitution of
Great Britain requires in a hereditary legislator
no higher qualities than are appropriate to the
character of an Australian vagrant. All this
does not necessarily conflict with the aristocratic
maxim, "Blood will tell" it only proves what
everybody knew wen enough before, but some
Americans as wen as Englishmen seem occa-
sionally TO forget, that there is no distinguish.
able difference between tle blood of Il good
enough average baronet and that of a consider
ably worse than average butcher
