From our own London Correspondent;
The horrid fogs have made their
appearance. not very bad as yet. but
sufficient to be disagreeable. No one
can imagine what London fog is like
unless he is unfortunate enough to see
one. Think of it being 80 dark at mid
day that you could not find your way
three yards ahead of you-not even
sehand befoe your re your face out Of
doors, so dense, SO black is the oppres-
sive curtain that falls upon the be-
nighted city. All traffic ceases; not a
sound to be heard except -fo2 horns.
One could imagine that it was a city
of the dead. for the time being, and
tina! the horns were the sound Of that
trumpet which is to awaken us all on
the last day. Fortunately this ex-
treme darkness does not last very
long-seldom more than an hour Or
two. It is one of the singular ex.
periences of London that one never
meets the same face twice. In travel
ing about at home ole meets familiar
faces everywhere on the cars in any
of the large cities of the Eastern
States as we'll as in the smaller ones
of the great West. Even ut Norris
remember to have met casually faces
that were familiar 10 me in the East
and go where you will.THERE you will
find a face you have seen before. bat
here in this greet wilderness of Lon
don it never occurs.
This year will probably witness the
last of the Lord Mayors professions,
as it is generally understood that IA
sweeping measure of reform is to be
introduced in the government of the
city. To an American this Lord May
or's show hardly seems to he seri :
Gus and formal part of the proceed
ings attendant upon the installation
Of the Chief Magistrate of the largest
and greatest municipality in the
world. 1t calls up a train of thought
that has wonderful admixture of
Aladdin and the Arabian n ights. The
only thing we have in America at all
resembling this display is the s'Mar,'i
Gras'' at New Orleans. Henry r.
wing and Ellen Terry are in America
now, and if they should go 10 st. Paul
it will be well worth visit to hear
them. I had the pleasure of seeing
Mary Anderson in the Lady of Lyons
at the Lyceum, and it was astonishing
how nervous (heing my country-wo-
mani I became for her success. She
is not equal to Miss Terry, but she is
prettier though not so good an actress.
and then she is from home. 1t is a
pleasure to be able to state that the
applause was generous and her scc-
cess assured. The Prince and Prin-
cess Of Wales were in the Royal Box
almost opposite to US. They were in
full dress. of course, and the Princess
had narrow band or tiara of dia-
monds in her blonde tresses, other
wise in no way different from the
other ladies. The papers were full Of
Miss Anderson's refusal to be pre-
sented to the Prince. She was pre-
sented to both the Prince and Prin-
cess the other day, however, go the
papers stated, but she would not be
presented to the Prince alone. The
announcement is going the rounds just
now that the famous American beau
ty, Miss Chamberlain. is betrothed to
Algernon Brown, a son of the Queens
faithful gillie who died last year. 1t
is said that the Queen is delighted
with the match and will confer the
order of knighthood upon young
Brown after the marriage. Brown is
= handsome. modest young fellow.
and prime favorite Of the Queen,
and 1t is said by those who know him
that he. richly deserves the fair bride
he has won. Miss Chamberlain, so it
is said. could have chosen much high
er. but this is agenaine love-match
and the young lady was wise beyond
her years. We are expecting Bern
hardt soon with her assortment Of
deaths. AS have never been IN nd !.
