In wandering about the neighbor-
hood Of the Law Courts the other dag,
| came upon a place which brought to
NY mind one of your fellow townsmen
with whom, some years ago, | had the
pleasure OF being on very friendly
terms-Mr. Thrrlow Weed. During
one of his visits to London he hap
pened to stumble upon a relic OF old
Roman days, which was ct that time
known to very few Londoners. 1t was
in one Of the side streets leading down
to the river Thames from the Strand,
and was nothing more nor less than 9
veritable Roman bath within a yaulted
room. The bath has been filled ever
since the Roman days from a spring Of
pure cold water, which in former
times was supposed to have come
from the miraculous well of st. Glenn

of this bath, and | am ashamed to say

me of his discovery-that is, in 1869

him to make some progress with an
autobiography, which he bad begun,
and which, l trust, he lived to finish.

had SO inoxhaustible q store ofvaluable
"reminiscences and interesting anee

which he began to write in 1867 aver
sees the light, it will DO read with
eagerness in every part ofthe Union.
