London Letter.


Henry Hamilton has done some service

English and has a keen sense of the
dramatic fitness of things. He is sturdy
weli-nourished individual, with iiorid
complexion and resonant voice which he
is never 10th To employ in declaiming 10
his friends passages in blank verse from
his own plays. He Is a bachelor, and his
cosy chambers in Chancery lane are in
variahly as neat as new pin. The sight
of speck OF dust is sufficient TO deprive
him of all repose, and he may frequently
be found busting his furniture and knick
knacks with a cambria handkerchief,
swearing softly at the negligent parlor
maid the while.
Mr.. Hamilton hates America and the
Americans with a deep and undying
hatred. The very mention Of this country
is 10 MIN as the proverblal red rag To The
bull, and loosens at once the flood gates of
inyective. His experiences during a visit
which he paid To New York some time ago
were not particularly happy. His atti-
tude from the outset was the reverse of
conciliatory, and people here did not take
kindly either TO him or to his work. What
other provocation he had | know not, but
"witless barbarians" is the least uncom-
plimentary epithet he can be induced to
apply 70 tbs American people.

nature by showing the beholder what
principles and character may do for the
most humble Of US, should unusual cir
cumstance demand unusual action. There
are no such examples in the So
called realistic school of fiction;
the patience, endurance, faith,
hope and love, which are noble
virtues, are replaced by mere passions
which stimulate their possessors to spas
modic self-sacrifice, but never to self-con-
troll and reformation. Realistic novels are
full OF brave deaths, but the truth remains
that living requires more courage than
dying, and the simple, true story of any
honest and noble life compels more study
OF character, more portrayal of emotion,
than can be found in the stories most
praised by critics.

unless plain, fresh, clean and neatly
