socks with perfect impunity He is the
author of his own thoughts, and l hear him
spoken of in high terms, especially by his
friends
Mr.. T. P. O'Connor has our thanks for
courtesies extended while in London He
will never lack friend, if he will at any
time write to Box 204, Tompkinsville,
Staten Island, U. S. A.
Mr.. Robert Lincoln's last reception was
frightened briefly by pleasant call from
me. Many Americans were present and
drank the tea of the minister as admins
tered by his bright young daughter.
Without wishing to express political
opinion in anyway, must say that the gen
cral sentiment of the American contingent
is that both in France and England, we
need not be ashamed of our ministers or
consuls general. Mr.. Reid and General
Rathb0ne seem to be beautifully holding up
their corner of the national fabric in Paris,
and Mr. Lincoln and General John c.. New
are doing the proper thing in London. Gen
eral New says that l have ruined his repu-
tation in the old world by referring to him
as a poker player, and so hereby apollo
g1ze. He is not poker player. He plays
bean bag, however, with great skill, and
lawn tennis in way that arouses the as
tonishment and admiration of the effete
monarchies.
Wilson Barrett goes to America i'll Oc-
tober. He will take first class company,
and will, no doubt, continue the success he
has had at home.
! met Mrs. Alice Shaw, the whistler, at
reception one afternoon, and for the first
time heard her marvellous chestnotes. My
chestnotes followed later on. She is not
only whistler, but very artistic one, and
when she prepares to pucker,' there is,
in the audience, a silence which is notice
able. She has whistled for the queen. l
told her | had also whistled for the queen,
seven years ago, but she did not come.
Il presume you were trying for royal
flush, said Mrs. Shaw. Il play poker my

met some celebrated steamship captains
in London. Referring to steamship cap
tains or masters, | must say here that it
seems TO me they are expected TO do good
deal, and die as soon as they can do no
more. 4 steamship captain is required to
look out for the interests of the company.
the interest of the ship, the interests of
the passengers, both temporal and spirit
ual, and while he risks his life every mo
ment he is in the service, when he can no
longer sail, he may die in poverty or com
NIT suicide as he chooses, so far as the
great world of traffic is concerned. This is
unjust. So the average captain
says: THE only safe thing for me is to
make my last VOYAGE that is, to go down
with the boat. Think of that, you who
have trusted your own lives and those of
your families to these men. Think of il
and talk of it until there is pension or !
provision for those who give their whole !
lives to their fellowmen.
The Johnstown baby whose name is |
Moses Williams, came over on recent trip !
Of the City of Chicago, according to Surg |
eon Peter McSweeney. The JohnstOwn
baby was named Moses because he was
found on the flood, not exactly among the !
but born on the bosom of the !
terrible deluge, while his mothers house |
was floating down to death and destruction. |
t is not necessary to say that Moses owned |
,he ship. He got about SIS from enthu- |
'iastic Americans on board, and practically !
vas monarch of all he surveyed. He was |
ucky to put off his birthday till the time
If the terrible flood, for Pharaoh's |
laughter, in the shape of American gener /
Dsity, has rescued him from obscurity and |
poverty, and hereafter, when he says, MY |
