added in the first sentence, on the same authority,
that Miss Adelaide Phillips, as the first of living

any rate they going together. The report that
Miss Field has accepted an appointment on Don
Carloss staff, and is to make the campaign with
him on condition that he proclaims wonan's
suffrage in Spain, is incorrect in every par
tcular. Miss Fields Repubhcanism is proof
against every temptation. | find she does not
think make enough of the English Republican move

meeting has exposed me, 1t seems to the suspicion
of lukewarmness. / am very sorry. but can't make
it any bigger than it was OF say that thought IL
important when did not, and do not. Mr.. Brad
laugh himself whose radcalism is certainly above
reproach, told the Spaniards that If he had the
power to set up the Republic In England OFT hand ne
would not do it, because popular sentiment was not
ripe for it, nor for the abolition of the monarchy.
Senior CASTELAR, is reported as having remarked that
Spahiard who had said such thing of Spain IN the
same circumstances would have been thrown out OF
the window. But Mr.. Bradlaugh is the leader OF the
Republican movement in England. so far as it has

Miss Field knows him much better than do, and is
going to tell you some day what she thinks
of him, and what he thinks Of English Republican

Schwalbach, which is not true, but was true when
said it, did not thing it necessary to say she might
change her mind. 1t is not necessary to say things
which may be taken for granted. She is still the
guest of Lady Dixie and the delight and torment OF
a wide circle of English friends, who take pleasure
in piquant criticisms their own country; and pos

Goodwood, and her views of Goodwood may perhaps
be communicated to you. After that, to the CONT

Mr.. Henry Watterson is still in Paris, but writes
that he is going home the last of August AS he is
to spend the fortnight before be sails in England it
is just possible that his stay in France has given
him better opinion of this unhappy country than
he has found time to state in his letters. 1t would
be difficult to say too much m praise of the acute
ness and vivacity of such extracts as have seen
from those letters but / don't believe they express
Mr.. Watterson's sober judgment on England and the
English. Whether he likes them or not, they like
him extremely. The memories of our civil war are
almost as fresh here as they at home, and have
heard two or three Englishmen express their wonder
that Southerner should even now take such sound
and wise views of the results of the war as Mr. Wat
tersoD does. G. W. S.
