''How are Americans liked in
Enlandp"
And Mr.. B. F. Larrabee, of AZ Ches-
ter square, ex-director of the New York
& Boston Despatch Express Company,
who has recently returned from con-
siderable residence in London, answered:
'If they have coed recommendations
and behave themselves they are well
treated, but they will like the English
people, any way, when acquaintance
ripens into confidence"
"How do the English compare with
Americansp'
1.-THE finest looking men in the world
can be seen on pleasant days of the
London season, promenading Piccadilly.
The English ladies, however, are Meth
er so neat in appearance nor SO grace
full of form and movement as the Amer
cans, but they seem to enjoy more ro-
bust health"
"Are English people longer lived than
our peoplep"

"Ah, indeed. another tribute to the
power of the press'?' suggested the re-

1879, when l was residing at the Com
monwealth hotel, in this city, l had oc-

struck me. but my physicians assured
me that such could not be the case and

weeks was unable to lie down. Twas

of Boston again. l did not want to die,
but who can expect to live when all
doctors say he cannot?' And Mr.. Lar
rabe smiled, sarcastically, and express
ed himself very freely concerning the
number of common disorders which
are controlled by remedies which physi-
clans will not employ.
''But how about that paragraph"
Eyes, yes. When l was obliged to
sit up in bed day and night for fear of
suffocation, and hourly expected death.
my nurse begged the privilege of read

Speaking of paragraphs, how do
English papers compare with American,

"Well, they have fewer witty para
graphs, but the smaller papers, like the
