Why Is It that these dear, good English
people, who intellectually love the light and
seek it 50 willfully, live bodily in such dark

shown finally into Lord Onslow's Office, pass
ing through large hall and two passage
ways and by two staircases. This room,
where the earl works, Is low studded. long and
narrow, filled with stained glass, and how
he could see to write at this table without
artificial lghtI cannot at all make out.
However, 1t Is no matter Of mine
It Is all Of piece, and it is national tempera-
ment. English people simply hate glare Of
light. They rather fancy everywhere in ma
ture, in art and in society soft, and, perhaps,
upon the whole, dull colors. Although the
room was dark, found Lord Onslow full Of
light His hearty, frank manner had the
strength of the Rocky mountains in it, and I
really was quite inspired by contact with a
man who has been on the plains and in the
Western Alps hunting and rollicking, shar-
ing the sh mites of cowboys, and being
abused roundly by our independent, fearless
American press for giving himself aristo-
cratic airs In Q land where every man Is q
sovereign.

Now we believe this In all mistaken

taken kindness. Some Of our readers
probably know cases in which this
policy has been pursued, and the young
men in whose behalf it has been tried
generally become wanderers ON the
face of the earth, pursued by the phan-
tom Of that old concealed crime left be-

MADRID, Jan. 19.-The Correspondence
says that the Liberals have disappeared
from power, not by national death, but
by suicide. King Alfonso seeing that
for him to favor one section or the other
of the party would widen the differences
between them, and hoping that when in
opposition their misfortune might perhaps
unite the diverging elements, thought the
time had arrived to summon the COnser-
vatives to power. This, says the Cores
p"ndenciG. is the understanding we have
of the patriotic intention of King Alfonso,
who is with justice.prOclaimed the most
liberal monarch in Europe.

sci disclaim any knowledge of his affairs.
Assignee Brown said:
"What / know about the matter is that Mr..
Gui0n has made clean assignment without
preferences. AS to the liabilities / can form
30 definite idea. but do not believe that they
will reach S2,0O0,' 90. or one half OF it. As to
the assets, nobody can even approximate
them. do not know that Mr.. GuiOn is in
solvent. He thinks he is, and has asked me 10
be his assignee, to which / agreed. but have
seen no papers, and Entil the schedule is made
