LONDON, Eng, Nov 25.-Abroad
the English are called an eccentric
nation. This supposed ecentricity is,
on the Continent, the halfindulgent,
half-condemnatory explanation Of their
foibles, idiosyncrasies, and supercil-
iousness. In point of fact, however,
no people are less original and less en-
dowed with that suppfeness of spirit
which seizes upon a new idea without
pausing to calculate what precedents
justify its adoption. Their eccentrici-
ty is as much a myth as their sandy
locks, freckles, and protruding teeth
all three DEGREES to be unfailing char
acteristics of the son of Albion If he
is recognizable OH the boulevards as
offering an insular type, the English
man has no individuality i'll London.
In all places where the world congre-
gates, parks, theatres, and churches,
the eye is met by a monotonous uni
formity which no attempt at special
personality ever breaks. The whole
nation possesses a faculty of assimilat-
ing, anglicizing, and disintegrating
any foreign element that may chance
to drift into it, to boil it down, as it
were, to the exact point at which it is
presumed to meet the tastes, habits,
and requirements of British nature
This is noticeable in the most conflict
ing and dissimiar spheres.

the court milliner of Dover street or

but British and if connection is
still traceable with the prototype

Edmund Hudson in the Washington Capital
stopped in Albany few hours in
order that | might pay my respects to
the President-elect and see for myself
what manner of man this memorable
campaign of 1884 has crowned with
the greatest of earthly honors. At 4
o'clock in the afternoon | found the
Governor sitting in the vast and splen-
did Executive chamber in the new
Capitol building, How many kings
or emporers ever received their sub
jects, L wonder, in such a noble apart
ment as this in which the chief ruler
of the Empire State meets his fellow
citizens? The White House will seem.
to him very poor and cheap in COM
parison when he comes to occupy it
Perhaps the contrast will be great
enough to make him an earnest ad-
vocate Of new Executive Mansion,
or rebuilt one at any rate. That
would be something to be thankful for
if it should happen.

visitors are constantly passing through
the chamber, and those who care to do
so walk up to him and pay their res
poets. He asks no one to sit, but
when there are ladies in the party he
rises and shakes hands and exchanges
a few pleasant words with them. The
Governors greeting is pleasant one,
but very simple and with no excess of
cordiality of voice or manner. His
voice, one notices, instantly, has none
of the suave and fascinating quality
of Mr.. Blaine's. 1t is not voice that
has been used to magnetic or attract
men and women, it is not the voice of
q man who asks fivors of others, nor
is it the voice Of an orator. But there
is criticism and emphasis in it, and
while not soft voice, it is not hard
nor rough.
The first impression that one gets OF
Gov. Cleveland is that he is young
man. There is a bald place one sees
afterwards that goes well down on the
back Of his head, but the face is the
face of a man in the freshest health; 6
man full of life, who has meyer greatly
abused himself nor overdrawn upor
his vitality Tall and stout he is, i
must be confessed, but not an obese
man, and while one would not expcc
him to prefer on active life, his powe
; Of work must be enormous. He look
, IKE man who could work for twenty
four hours without rest, and then lie
f gin new days work, ifneed bo, will
more visor than the average man pos
sesscs after a good nights sleep.
In conversation the Governor spcak
with good deal of animation, and th
strongest impression one gets from hin
is of great firmness and force in ad
herring to a course once it is adopted
? One would say, Here is man, surel,
: who can not be driven, but who vii
: do the driving himself whenever it
necessary" One might ask & goo'
deal of such a man, but to demand,

Origin of Painting the Town Rcd.

"Red hot" answered the reporter !;
"hoth parties have painted the town
red"
Mr. Welsh remarked: "That's an
oda xpression-painting the town red

Well, III tell you. On my last tour
through the country with Calendars
minstrels-a year ago or more-I had
an advance agent, mannamed Camp
bell Campbell was genius at ad
vertising, and never permitted a rival
to get ahead Of him. One day in Buc-
falo | said to him: Campbell, | hear
that Barlow and Wilson are covering
my bills with their paper; want that
stopped. l told him that he would
strike them at Adrian, Michigan, and
when next [ saw him he had huge
bundles of bills ready for shipment to
Adrian All were printed in sbiigi,t
red. "What are you going to dor t
asked. 81 am going up to Adrian to
paste these bills over Barlow and Will
sons and on every dead wall in that
place. | am going to paint the town
red, and he left. When VIC got to
Adrian, it looked as if it was on fire,
SO thoroughly had Campbell done bis
work. That expression, painting the
town red' was SO comic that the col
ored minstrels caught on to it, and
wherever there was any excitement or
anybody particularly loud, they always
said somebody was painting the town
red.'' OF course it spread, and is now
in use by everybody. ;. -.

sion and held to be unconstitutional.

They have secured the signatures OF
all the members of the Legislature re-
quired by the State constitution to an ap.

islature with one or two exceptions
They will secure these additional names,

willed her property to her husband, he
sought to induce her to take a liquid, as
he said, to quiet her nerves. She refused,
and he then tried to force her, but being
interrupted by a servant he threw the
liquid out of a window and then left
her. Suspecting that he wanted to poison
her, she obtained a warrant for his arrest,
but he had fled. The case was put in a

PARIS, July 21.-In the Chamber Of
Deputies tonight there was a long dis
cussion on the question of the

jected to the warlike tone of the
report of the committee. The policy OF
the government was AItimatfJH t4sfaia.
Prime Minister Ferry said that he
was convinced that the Chamber would
not change it's policy or display hesitation.
The government intended to combine reso-
luton with prudence. 1t was a question
of exercising the rights of France by
united occupation, and therefore the gov
ernment only demanded a credit of 10, ,000,-
600 francs. He said that they had no pre-
sent idea of more extended programme.
The credit was then voted by 372 ayes to
SO nays.
LONDON, July 21.-Advices from Tama-
tave state that the French claim protec-
tOrate over that portion of Madagascar ly-
ing north of the 10Th parallel of south latI-
tude. They also claim an indemnity of
3,O0O,000f. and an indemnity to compen-
safe foreigners for losses during the war.
France also proposes that the Queen shall
be styled "Queen of the Hovas' only.
