While in Lancashire, / noticed and
heard considerable discomfort with the
American policy of protection. Many
were very outspoken to the effect that
our ports should be open to the world.
They ascribed their wages, condition Of
living, and number of actual working
people, all to free trade. / claim it
solely for their strong amalgamation Of
societies. Gathering as it has, in Lam
cashire, nearly all of the best
laboring people within its ranks,
1t has become protective in
itself. If the men who have labored to
place these societies in the position they
now hold should relax their vigilance, or
if internal discomfort is carried on. how
long before their places would be filled
by other workmen? have found hun
dreds and hundreds walking the streets
with nothing to do, strong, able-bodied
men, who would carry valise for a
penny; women selling papers on the
street, matches, books and toys, many
with children in arms. These ard
similar sights lead me to think that
a change for the great mass of working
people must soon come, and when that
time arrives they will surely find no
better way'than in following the policy
carried out by the United States.

Do not confound these prices with
those of the average workingman, al
though no doubt many take advantage
in this way. They were meant to at
tract the visitors from out of town dur
ing the holidays. There are many
amusing things noticed throughout
Lancashire. The peculiar dialect, street
cars, store signs, trains and manner of
driving. The horse cars are nearly all
double-decked. and comfortably seat
fifteen inside and twenty outside. Be-
yond this number they cannot carry.
If an officer observes one extra, or
standing up, he may summons the con-
ductor to court, where the fine is some
thing like two weeks wages. The
cushions resemble a limp rag, and so
thin, in those ! had the pleasure Of rid
ing, that it was only imagination that
kept me from believing l was sitting on
a board.
The car by a pivot swings about at
the end OF the route, thus saving the
driver the trouble of unhitching his
horses, or of leaving the seat where he is
so kindly boxed in. might go on for a
column describing methods of collecting
idIcS, IhISiuB DcAis, ctC., DuI you sudli
have it all on my return. Quite CON-
mon store sign in the poor districts, is
that of Cows heels, pigs feet and
trotters." Teams, drawn by horses, and
I should judge nearly half are drawn by
men and boys, are nearly invariably on
two wheels, with a long body, and the
drivers seat at the rear end. Horse
cars, trains, trains of cars, and often
people, use the left hand side of the
road, and drivers of teams sit likewise.
This is probably one of the reasons they
are so easily able to recognize an Amer
ican, as he humps along with valise,
and an umbrella, prodding everything
before him. These briefly are a few
peculiarities of the country just visited.
On account of the holidays I have
been unable to delve quite as far as I
should have liked into the condition Of
these interesting people, but knowing /
must reach London soon after the first
of July, and in the intervening time
visit dozen or fifteen towns, pushes
me forward into renewed zeal for the
pottery fields of Stoke on Trent. Shall
write letter for the children very soon.

The Floating Weeds in the Atlantic.

The gulf weed (Fucus natans) which,
with it's little round Cherries, is not I'm
like the mistletoe in form, but of q
brownish yellow color, has been thought
to have lost it's property of roofing on
rocks and to have acquired the power OF
living afoat. It has even been sug-
gested that the sea marks the site Of a
submerged continent, apparently the
lost Atlantis. DR.. Krummel holds that
the weed has simply been drifted to its
present position by the Gulf stream and
it's afiluents from the West Indian is
lands and the Gulf Of Mexico.
1t is now proved that the Gulf stream
is not a single narrow ':river of the
ocean," as Maury POLITICALLY described
it, but consists of number of currents,
not only from the Mexican gulf, but the
Antilles. The weed, according to DR..
Krummel, would take fifteen days to
float as far north as the latitude of Cape
Hatteras and five and half months to
reach the Azores. In the Sargasso sea
it becomes heavy and sinks; but the sup
ply is kept up by the Gulf stream.-Lon-

remarks are going to be before you offer
'em. Instance in point: met Vachant,
of New York, in the street the other

know-ever since his wife. died, two
years ago; brutal Of me not to have done
it, for she was sweet little soul, and |
could guess what her loss must have
been. Well, J. rushed up to him, and
pressed his hand, and stumbled out q
plea for forgiveness for not having sooner
expressed my very real sympathy for his
wife's loss and all it must have meant
to him.

INJURED something and hurried off as
