A Few Facts About Things on This Side
of the Water.
For my part, l could almost wish
that We in England would give up
making airy comments on American
literature, manners or social habits.
We can make none that will give
pleasure; we can hardly speak without
making what is recognized as a mis-
take. II we praise, we praise the
wrong thing; if we blame, our blame is
mere ignorant jealousy. This know,
for have tried, in an ineffective but
hearty manner, to praise Mark Twain
as one of the greatest of living genuises
(perha-s it is not saying much) who
now uses the English language. Yet
this humble appreciation has not
seemed to be welcome to all literary
Americans. They are not as proud OF
Mark as one could wish On the
other hand, If chance to describe
the style Of an esoteric Ameri-
can novelty, queer medley OF bad
Ruskin and Indifferent Bret Harte,
am once more looked down upon from
the frozen heights OF literary disap-
probation. The fact is that over here
we do not know what is the correct
thing either in current American liter
allure or society. We admire Amer
lean authors whom American critics
despise we have never heard OF
authors whom the moro serious Amer
lean reviews, which ought to know,
distinguish by their applause. 1t is
the same thing, of course, in America.
There they appreciate English writers
who are not or have not yet become
prophets in our own country, and they
disregard some very considerable
(minor) prophets of our own alto
gether We do not mind this much
in our fine native bumptiousness we
fancy we know best. But one car
easily imagine that, to an American
man of letters, English praise of {
countryman of his whom he does not
admire seems another proof of out
insularity. -Murrau's Maga@tne.

Several incidents of recent African
exploration calls to mind the stories
that were told of the early travels Of

animal Mr.. HOLSTER rode a few months
ago made almost as much OF sensa-
ton as the horses that Cortez intro
duced into Mexico. HOLSTERS journey
was short one. extending only from
