Notes from Over the Sea.
Grace Greenwood, in the New Yorl
Times, writes from near Lucerne. when tn.
day is dark and dreary, and an Alpine
storm is abroad, driving her from the gar
1 dens and balconies, arbors and summe,
houses, shady 1alks, sOcks, dells and the
blue lake back to her notes of England and
the last rush of London sightseeing. 1t il

She saw the Houses of Lords and Com

presence of q real. throne, in eclipse of linen
covers. She thought Daniel Webster would
have brought reverberations from Bunker

romance Of chivalry.
She looked at and touched the marrow
back when Charles found how little space
Kings had to die in, and true American as

worthy Of such trial." and the last eere-

Commons she saw Disraeli, sadly changed,
careworn and melancholy, jaded and Ju-
daical, his curls. Strengthened with the
weight of years; John Bright without his
old spirit or energy; the blind Faucet, and
that bombshell in Quaker Westinghouse,

ration that he should say, "my punishme mt is
just, but not greater than can and will

the golden charge of Justice Brett is
widely published in the United States.
Not less interesting are her notes on the
Parliament Houses, the Albert Memorial
and Albert Hall, the voluntary fund raised
like Peters pence, and a laughing reference
to the New Zealander taking a hanson for
the West End, after finishing his sketch of
the ruins of St. PauI'e, and noting the ruin
of the island because the inhabitants mi

Of the'sun and republicans.
