MI Louis j. Jennings, formerly editor of
the New York Times, and now the speciaI
London correspondent Of The World writes
an interesting letter to that paper showing
the comparative cost of living Ia London
and New York. In reference to rents he
says that the difference is greatly in favor
OF London. A very good house, with eight
bedrooms, dining, drawing and reception
rooms, can be had In KensiDgton, q fashion.
able suburb, for $500 per year. A comfort
able house with six rooms, aud garden front
and rear, can he had at Dulwich, four miles
from London bridge, for SIPS per year; and
Mr.. Jennings does not know where o house
anything like 10 could be found within twen-
ty miles of New York for three times that
money. Rents, such as are common In New
York, Of from al 200 to 50 900 year, would
suffice 70 hire mansion In the most FASH
1onaole parts OF London, and the class theru
which can afford to pay $500 or f6O0 O year
for house Is exceedingly limited.
The wages for in door servants, including
q weekly allowance of Is. Cd. for washing,
and shilling for beer, range from $50 TO
sllO per year, cooks getting the largest sum
paid. Here again London has the advan-
fage over the American metropolis, since In
the latter city the wages OF cooks range from
el2 TO s25 per month.
Clothing is much cheaper In London than
In New York, and the price OF fashionable
dresses are lower by at least third, and
Oftener onehalf
Coal, If anything. Is little cheaper, but
burns out considerably sooner than the
American product.
Beef In London is one shilling per pound
and the best steaks thirty one cents, which
Is q little cheaper than In our large northern
cities. And here let the fact be recorded that
Nr. Jennings, himself an Englishman, goes
squarely back on "the roast beef Of old Eng
lard" and expresses the belief that New
York beefis better than the London article.
English mutton, however. he contends, fs
decidedly better than American. 1t Is abou
twenty seven cents per pound, while 1t sells
little higher In New York. Fowls are very
scrce and fetch s1.75 per pair. The best
butter Is two shillings per pound, while In
our cities IL is considerably higher.
Game Is much dearer in London than In
New York, but as a rule provisions OF almost
every kind are much cheaper. Peaches
which are so common with US, cost twenty
nve cents each In gold In London, and con-
sequenuy none but the rich can indulge In
them.
taken altogether, Mr.. Jennings thinks
that q family OF six or seven persons can
live very comfortably In or near London for
tl0 (say $50 week, not including rent
This would cover reasonable expenditure
on "extras," such as newspapers, postage,
&c. To live on q similar scale In New York
would cost 500 q week. He Is quite sure
that fl 900 year In London-which is what
10 generally called q middle-class income
would go further than $40 900 year would
In New York, when rent and all other ex.
pensee are taken 10 TO account.

Running wei Ralph Waldo Emerson d
new book recently we came upon the
following passage:
Courage to ask questions; courage TO
expose our ignorance. The great gain
is not to shine, not TO conquer your com.

what yon do not; TO tilt with him and be
overthrown, horse and foot, with utter
destruction Of all your logic and learn.
ing. There is a defeat that is useful"
We resolved to act upon the above At
once. We called in cur landlord and
asked him what the rent Of u room
would be the coming month. He told us.
That was a fair start. We had exposed
our ignorance and mentally praised our
self for courage. Then We proceeded to
multiply questions. We asked him
where be lived before be came to Nevada.
he informed as that he was by birth a
near neighbor Of the late respected
Daniel Webster. That increased our
respect for him. (For the landlord, not
for Webster). We then asked him how
much lumber was worth in the Granite
State. He answered promptly-prompt-
ness is a characteristic Of our landlord.
Then we got the price OF brick in New
Hampshire, the value OF mechanics labor.
the probable cost of a bed, carpet and
washstand and the rate Of interest on
money in the land Of the White Noun
tains. We said to %ourself, Emerson
would be delighted could he but hear
this" AT last we veniured to ask our
host IL be belonged to any religious de-
nomination. BE informed us that he
was baptized in q mill.pond on the Mer-
rimack, and had tried to live becoming a
Christian and a e-Communion Bap.
fist. We then asked him how he could
reconcile his conscience to charge us
more rent for o room than it would cost
to build a house in New Hampshire, and
an interest on an investment here which
is more per month than the State Of New
Hampshire permits landlords to take by
the year. He eyed US a moment over
his speclacles and then said: That's
what you are driving at. is it2 Let me
tell you that a man who mixes religion
with rents in Virginia City, will not last
long, and, further, that il you do not
like this room there are plenty outside
who would. The rate l spoke of is only
for this month; next month it will be
more" We had followed Emerson's ad-
vice to the letter, gained a good deal Of
information, but somehow we didn't feel
any better. It must be that Emerson is
not so great q man as we thought he was.
