A Way Lord Macaulay Had.

when l was in London, in the f%fties,"
writes a Brooklyn friend, Il usedto ave
n great fancy for running around the
by-lanes and corners, and OF hunting up
places of historical or literary interest,
tuat the guide books barely mention and
that few travellers go to see. Among my
haunts was an old, low-ceiled tavern,
with a sanded floor two feet below the
level of the sidewalk. l used to go there
and drink "'alf-and-'alf," and trv to
bring up images of the wits of the last
century, who used to sit in that same
room and drink ''alf-and-'alf,' too. One
day an image materialized, for, while l
was sitting beside a table, with my pew
ter pot half emptied, l observed that a
large man in a cloak had entered. His
face was round, pale and bushy, but the
eyes were bright, and his bushy eye
brows slid up and down with quick
changes of expression. He heavily sat
down at the table next to mine, and di-
rectly a waiter came in with a big plate
of bread and cheese and a glass of ale,
and set it before him. He ate and drank
heartily, and after finishing his lunch sat
upright and rested his hands on a heavy
case. / could see only his back; but.
from occasional movements of his head,
such as a man makes when he is argu-
ing in earnest, | surmised that he was do
ing some pretty hard thinking.
Suddenly he reached for his empty
glass and hurled it on the floor with all
his strength, smashing it into s~livers.
He sat for n minute longer, then got up
slowly, tipped the waiter, paid his
reckoning at the bar and passed out. He
had not uttered a word. The waiter got
II broom, swept up the pieces of glass
and cleared the table. l asked him if
the gentleman's intellect was a little in
need of repair. oh, no, sir said he.
That's nothink unusual with i'm, sir.
Wy, he's broke maybe a 'undrd gluhsses
since he's been a-comin' to this 'ouse. e

The besetting vice of the Indians is n
consuming love for spectacular display.
In some respects it is rather a virtue; for
example, when expressed in a love for
and display of flowers. Think of an Irish.
negro, or American housewife of the
lower classes spending in the market the
half of her last shilling for u bouquet to
take home to her family. The idea is
preposterous. But | could have taken
you last Sunday to the village .iaza
where these poor Indians c%ongregate
weekly 10 sell to each other their fruits
and wares, and you would have witnessed
the sale of wreaths of flowers. lunches
of roses and bouquets along with
potatoes and corn meal. True, a cent
and a half will buy a bouquet, but the
flower girls customers are as reliable
here us among the grand ladies. A less
agreeable manifestation OF this passion
is the everlasting ringing of bells and
firing of crackers upon birthdays, saints
days-and thev are maryland national
holidays. II is now the 9th IF May, the
