HENRY GEORGES IN ENGLAND.


London Letter.
"You had Henry George in Rnglandsn
Yes, Henry George came over there
after publishing his book. Progress aud
Poverty" He attracted very large au-
diences, and a great deal of attention was
paid TO him. His book was reviewed and
answered and much of the nonsense in it
exposed by the duke of Argyle in the
Nineteenth Century" and by Mr.. Mallock
in the "Quarterly Review" He lectured
all over England with great success during
his first visit, but during that visit the
workingmen began to perceive that he
was not their kind of prophet. They
had at first an idea that he proposed to
seize the land and divide it up among the
people. They found, however, that while
he would take it away from its present
owners, he would give it to nobody. He
would Nationalist it; that is, confiscate it
without compensation. The English said
that if they must have naturalization
they were in favor of naturalization plus
the ten commandments. Georges second
visit was not at all a success. He went
over under an agreement that he should
received certain sum of money. His agent
soon found out that he was not drawing
large audiences, ard asked to cancel the
contract, and ultimately it was done and
Ma. George came home with no glory and
not much plumber.
A story of this last visit illustrates the
hostility that exists between the English
workingman and Henry George. He was
delivering lecture at Newcastle, when a
workingman arose in the audience and
said:
"There is neighbour of ours in North
Cumberland, Mr.. Beaumont, who three
years ago bought from the government a
large property, for which he paid $500
| 600 and took crown title. What we wani
to know is whether you think the govern
ment should take this land from Mr.. Beau
mont without paying back his e300,000r
Mr.. George said that reforms were
based on principles, and that there might
be hard cases, but that exceptions die
not affect the general principle. They in
sisted upon having direct answer from
him as to what he would do in this practi
cal case. He finally said it was hard OF
Mr.. Beaumont, but that the general goot
of the people must prevail, and said hi
thought the state should keep Mr.. Beau
mont's lands and not pay back the money
Thereupon they booted MIR. Henry Georg'
off the platform, There is no considera
BILE body of people in England agreeing
with Mr.. George in his views as to taking
lands without compensation. His nam
there as we'll as here is a flag. He repre-
sents the discomfort of the laboring classe
with their share of the profits and t.
some extent with the existing sociS
organization.

1T WAS HER DARN.
Shirley Wynne.

One of Those Things Which a Woman
Never Forgets.
must tell you something that happened
once in country town where dishonesty in
the educated classes is not SO safe as it is in
cities. A girl knew was one day ransack-
ing an old dover chest and found among
other things long laid by an old-fashioned
white lace vail. 1t was about yard and
one-quarter in length and was quite yard
wide. The design was heavy and rich along
the edge, and the rest was "spriggedn with
small orange buds 1t had been the wedding
veil of some ancestress. The lace was beauti-
fully fine old Brussels, and, of course, was
valuable. The girl was so delighted to find
it, rolled up among lot of old linen, that she
impetuously dragged it out of the chest, and
in doing SO caught one corner of it ON q
wretched nail that lurked unseen inside the
big box. However, she darned it so skillfully
that it hardly showed, and she used to wear
this veil as fichu, and lovely it looked.
One very hot day, at a garden party, sht
left it in the bedroom of her hostess, and
coming up to get it in the evening, could MOI
find it anywhere. 1t had disappeared, and
though she was verv sorry just at first, shC
soon forgot all about it, as girls will Sht

Her mother left the village. But last year
when my old friend was home with her hus
band on furlough, they met some old &C
quaintances who had place near their for

with them, they accepted. On the yer,
evening of their arrival there was an anna

Take two moss rosebuds, half open, a
spray of rosemary, and half dozen Of the
flower heads of lavender, to which add a
cluster or two of mignonette, three old Glove
carnations, small bunch Of white jasmine,
and a few leaves of the sweet scented verbena
(Aloysia citliodora.l If to the above you add
a half opened old Provence or cabbage rose,
SO much the better, and the result will be a
sweet posy that duchess might like to have
near her, and which, if tastefully put to-
pether, will delight the eyes as well as the
nose. This sort of sweet posy was far more
common in the days of our great grand
mothers than now.
Won must not for moment fancy that the
above recipe for sweet posy is bit of
literary labor out of my own head, so TO say.

YOU sAlDi

You said that you would come again
When winters storms were DER,
When hawthords blossomed in the lane.
And spring was green once more;
But now the ripening corn is high,
The hawthorn-bloom is shed,
The golden summer days pass by,
And all my hope is dead!
You said, where'er your steps might range,
Your heart would still be mine;
You said true love could never change,
For it was made divine.
But now I've learnt that lovers VOWS
Are changeful as the moon;
Truth falls like May-bloom from the boughs,
And love is dead too soon.
You said, though other lips should smile,
'Twould be in vain for you
That rarest charms could meier beguile
A heart so firm and true.
But now my tears, like falling rain,
Blot out the dying day,
And you will never come again
To kiss my tears awayl

A critic in the Nation reviewed with
some severity" as he says, Halsteads
Mensuration, for containing terms new
and strange" e. g. steregon and sSeradian
and "new and sometimes queer definitions
of old terms" especially the sphere as a
surface. Shortly afterward he found that
tbis definition was only "queer," to hin
because he did not happen to know how
old and ordinary it was, (e. g. bee
Snherics in the dictionary of science by
Rraude and Cox, 1851
Rnt worse: the words steregon and
steradian were adopted by the great and
conservative encyclopedia Britannica, and
GIVEN the stamp of International approval
1See the article Mensuration In 'he ia'e''
edition.)
This recoil of his gun as it went on IN !ne

So JOHN JARRETT was sent into Mr..
Morrison's district to defeat him by the
ample expenditure of money of the Tin
plate association, because said association
had failed to get an increase of tariff on
tinplate before Mr.. Morrison's committee.
In other words, money taken from the
people under the tariff tax has been ex-
pended freely to defeat the reelection OF
man who INSTRUCTED the way to further
"haul" on the peoples pockets by the same
association. The protectionists claim
that the defeat of Col. Morrison "means
something" We grant IL does. Itmeans
that the peoples eyes will be better
opened by his defeat by such an agent of
such body, and for such purpose, than
by his unapimous election for ten con-
secutive years. The fight will be hard all
along the line two years hence. There
will be no sly agents from the east dis
tributing money in Col. Morrison's district
for the Tin-plate association. Free
traders will be wide awake then, and "spot
them" before the day of election, Such a
game can't be played but once.

HEARTS UNITED.

There has not been, in long while
such a crush at the Southern Presbyterian
church as was witnessed yesterday morn
ing, when the numerous friends of Mr..
Robert G. West and Miss Emma Lewis
Grant gathered in the spacious edifice to
witness the celebration of the nuptials
which were to make happiness unto two
lives for all the days to come. The ushers
for the occasion were Messrs. Floyd Nc.
Gown, Duval West, Irwin Daniel and AL
bert Grant. Close to the hour of 10
O'Clock, DR.. and Mrs. Grant entered the
church, and other relatives soon followed,
and were assigned to seats re-
served for them. Shortly after
wards, the bridal couple came in, and
moved slowly down the aisle. Preceding
them were the ushers, Messrs. Grant and
West in advance and Messrs. Daniel and
McGown next in order. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. DR.. Smoot in i'm
pressive style and Mr.. and Mrs. West al
once took their departure by the Central
train for New Orleans. They were &C
companied to the union depot by large
number of friends to see them off an6
bid them God speed in the union of theil
life destinies. There has been no mar
riage in long time, in Austin, where the
contracting parties have had more de-
voted friends or have been more sincerely
congratulated upon the consumation OF
their hearts wishes. Mr.. West and his
fair young bride will return to this city
about the 18th of the month and will be
most cordially welcomed.

The SHAH OF PERsIA.-Probably the
most restless man on the face of the earth is
Nussir- u-deen, shah Of Persia, asylum Of
the universe. and king of kings. These
two titles, as seriously given to the absolute
monarch of Persia as we apply the more
modest term majesty are not inappropriate,
for from the royal fiat there is no appeal.
Swarthier than most of his subjects, of mid
die height, very short-sighted, he is seldom
with out bis spectacles, and until he opens
his mouth he gives rather the idea of the
mild Hindu. But when he speaks in his loud
and imperious way, all idea Of mildness
disappears. The loud tone, however, is
more the effect of constant habits of COM
mand; and the custom of addressing his
ma ssty in low tone, that is observed on all
occasions, probably tends to make it more
noticeable by contrast. Although the king of
Persia has a larger collection of jewels than
any other monarch-save on state occa-
sions, such as the public salaam of the new
year, he very seldom displays any of them.
He is strikingly plain in his dress. The
full skirted frock coat of black cloth, or
at times, OF finest cashmere shawl which in win
ter time is trimmed and lined with priceless fur,
is hi; usual wear; but the colors arc generally
