One of the most enjoyable days have spent
in England was visit to Mentmorc, buck
inghamshire, the seat OF the late Baron
Rothschild, and still the home of his widow
had known all nay life of the almost iabu-
lous wealth of the Rohschilds, but had no
such vivid conception of the reality us
brought awav with me. The estate comprises
$4,000 or 10000 acres of the finest land of this
famous shire The approach from Chedding.

ing to a wooded ACTIVITY, upon the summit
of which the mansion stands. The subtrop.
cal gardens, vegetable gardens, the Fountain
garden, and the Italian garden occupied us
for hours. The first is second, suppose, on
" to the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew; the
second embraces, with the fruit gardens, u.
bout twenty acres, the whole proceeds of
which are consumed in the mansion. The
great hall, which from the entrance seemed
to me about 20 by 80 feet is filled with vases
and statuary. It's contents must represent
value fnotless than eS00,000 Wewere not less
than three hours passing through the rooms.
The finish is exquisite, and the furnishings oi
each sumptuous. Some idea may be iFmeu
of the whole from the furniture OF single

in, may give some idea ofthe wealth lavlshed
on this more than princely mansion The
costliest paintings adorn the walls, and the
most skillful and expensive work is displayed
upon the ceilings The idea of the Baron
seems to have been to build and furnish a
mansion such as no other person in England,
except perhaps the Duke of Westminster,
could hope to rival. The stud is said to con
tain more high bred horses than any in the
world. 1t embraces thirty,five hunters and
as many racers, none Of which heard was

sons explanation of one the charges made
by the Inter. Ocean, and VIC give 1t in justice
to our member:
Mr.. Morrison's explanation of the uniortu
nate slip IN the directory is this: Morrison
sent to the compiler of the directory his bio
graphy That biography contained his mill
tary record IN full, and great deal more
which has been omitted. The committee
having the compilation in charge found thai
Morrison's record, which was longer than
that of any other Illinois member, was toe
long, and they requested him to abbreviate !,
by striking out ten lines He did this, ana
struck out eight distinct facts in his life, in
GLIDING the military portion. The compiler
also requested that only public offices should
be mentioned, and that the biographical ,por
ton should be- eliminated. Morrison did mol
understand that military commission was

The following ancient, quaint, anu clever
account of the origin OF this famous Brand
of smoking tobacco appears in the Harvard
1dcocate. The reader who would enjoy 1t
perfectly this Sunday morning must take
down his mccrschaum, rub it kindly with
his silk handkerchief, insert a fresh wexel,
fill the creamy bowl with fcathery flakes OF
true Virginia, and read and puff and smile as
he must:

The worst results from accidents ir the
London hospitals are said TO be draymen.
Though they are apparently models OF health

serious injury il is nearly always necessary to

unlimited privilege of the brewery cellar. Sir
