MoRLEf's HOTEL, LONDON, March 12,
1889. boar Sir;-I was weary Of Paris
and glad 10 leave. l was sick, and the
people speak In an unknown tongue; be-
side that, their ways don't suit me. We
came TO London via Calais and Dover
The passage across the channel was not
rough but had slckening effect. Lon
don is indeed a smoky city. 1t uses soft
coal 10 open CRATES, which makes big
smoke that fills your eyes aud gives the
city drehry appearance. Sunday was
clear day there arc some clear days here)
and Mr.. spurgeon preached exceedingly
well in tho morning, while the evening
sermon, by the rector Of st. Martins,
was an honest effort to show that the Es-
tablished Church of England believed in
no hypocrisy In religious matters.
bethodtsm Is sometimes charged with
bending backwards In religious matters;
but It would break her back 10 out-do
the demand OF this established clergy
man. He was not exactly Inocking forms
OF worship, but he said tod cared nothing
for the form. have been taught by books
that the Eugllsh clergy were slack in the
practical teachings OF the Book; not 50
with this man. There must be others
like him, for | never witnessed shch u
Sunday In any city. Business was sim.-
ply suspended. | asked the wniter at
breakfast for stale bread, who said, at is
all stale, sir, there Is no bread baking in
London to-day"
All the entrances to this hotel but the
front one were closed ell day. Whoever
speaks of the "Eulopean Sunday" IN
my presence must modify it, aud say
Continental Europe, Tor the English
Sunday is all right. In Antwerp dogs
pulled the carts; In Brussels the dogs
were assisted by men; In Paris the man
was harnet sed alone and pulled 1t him
sell; in London the horses do tho pulling.
In Paris when u horse does pull they
often have no names on their collars, but
have a ring on the collar in which they
hook the traee; IL E33SS!!ss.ii;j1. shsJ hook the
trace to the singletree.
In Paris the cart bodies are fastened TO
,uo axie-tree, and the shafts are attached
to the body on hinge, so in dumping the
load the axle turns; while in England the
body is hung to the axle, and when the
load is dumped the axle remains firm. As
| have journeyed the people have become
more like Americans. The streets OF
London are In excellent condition, and
cabs run In all directions constantly. You
can ride inside or on top for two cents.
An underground railroad girts the city,
with frequent trains, for four cents q ride,
third class.
have spent the last three days in COM
pany with Mr.. Mullin purchasing cloth
Tor his store. The English goods are
beautiful. am much grieved to know
that have but two more days Of their
delightful company. l shall be very
lonesome when they go. l am not well
yet. | suppose Pm better, since must
be well In a few more weeks. l shall be
glad to see you all again. A friend OF
mine, whose loysly daughter died re-
Gently, said to me before left, 81 hope
you will come back to us; but Heaven ia
as close to you Ia Europe as here, and II
you must go to Heaven from Europe give
our love to our little girl" l want to die
in America; but, thank God, 1 live in
sigLt Of the better land. Respectfully,
l.. l.. HUBBARD.
