London And Its Foes.

That London is one Of the healthy
cities in the world is much to be
wondered at. Al this season of the
year especially it might naturally be
thought that all the diseases Of the
human respiratory system would be
rampant there, on account of the fog
in which the business part of the
metropolis is enveloped. Sixteen
hours out of the twenty-four the city
is in total darkness, and for the re-
naming eight it is wrapped in that
"dim religious light" 80 suitable to
cathedrals, but aggravating in busy
city. 1t is difficult to account for
the irregularty with which these
fogs appear. Fifty years ago they
were frequent and intense, and were
described as being of the consis-
tency ofpea soup, and thick enough
to be cut with a knife. From 1850
to 1870 it was rare for one of these
old-time fogs to pu. in an appear
ance, and even then it only lasted a
few hours. 1t was hoped that the
regulations concerning the abate-
ment of the smoke nuisance were the
cause of this cessation of the annoy
ance; but for the last two or three
years the fogs have returned with
their old vlgor, and that hope is de-
stroyed. The loss of time, and
therefore Of money, from this cause
in the great commercial centres Of
London is very considerable. The
underground railway has done much
to mitigate this evil. Io.l
At the West End the fog does not
amount to more than an annoyance,
and is a fund of amusement and a
topic Of conversation. 1t finds its
way even into the theatres, SO that
the audience cannot see what is
happening on the stage. In the
churches the clergymen are invisible
to their flocks. In Hyde Park one
can as completely lose his way as il
he were caught in snow storm or
the prairie. The serious side Of 6
London fog is to be found in the fact
that although cabs and omnibusei
move only at snail's pace, foo
passengers are continually being rur
over and the hospital surgeons arr
kept busy. Children get lost by tn,
dozen, and in spite Of every pre-.
caution, people tumble into tn
Thames and into the canals whicl
traverse the north Of London
Until the architects and engineer
discover a means OF alleviating thi
evil, rich people and invalids vii
naturally seek the sun and pure al
on the shores Of the Mediterranean
and this year the concourse {
pleasure and health seekers is re
ported to be very large.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The following letter to a well
known Republican lawyer OF this
city from a gentleman in Rich
mond OF high social, moral and

shows how the result of the presi-
Dental election is viewed by some
of the best men OF the South:
RICHMOND. VA, Nov. 5.
My Dear Friend-I presume
may, without any compromise of
self-respect, so far "rejoice with
them that rejoice" az to congratu-
late you on the success of your
party in the late election. / do so
with the less hesitation because i'm
reasonably intimate friendship
with you for some time / have OBJ
served ten times more of identity
and sympathy In our principles,
tastes and breeding than of diver
sity. Therefore, If you are happy
i'm the choice OF your man.and the
triumph of your ideas on public
policy, can sincerely be pleased
in your joy. Personally should
have preferred General Hancock,
and what would have seemed to
be popular verdict favorable to
our rights and sentiments-if, in
fact, there are any rights at haz-
ard ofany peculiar sentiments that
are in any danger on the part of
the South from their fellow-citi-
zens of the North. To be perfect
ly frank with you, [ am a great
skeptic on this point, and / am
strongly inclined to the conviction
that we are all so absolutely iden-
titled in interest, 80 truly members
one of another, that it will be i'm
possible for one section to impose on
another or ignore another's rights
without common suffering. If the
principles of our religion and So
cial intercourse did not insure mu-
tual justice and regard, our plain
est interests would do SO. And
am very far from being singular
in these ideas, even in the South.
The aimable, ready and almost
hearty acquiescence in the result
of the Presidential contest by all
our men of thought and character
and substance would almost amaze
you.

Col. r. NJ. Scott, in charge of the

the representatives of Generals
Branch, Breckenridge, ID. III. Cooper
