LORD LYTTON'S PROPHECY.

He Predicted That France and America
Would Eventually Invade England.
A curious letter from the late Lord
Lytton, then E. l.. Bulwer, will be
found in the memoirs of Miss Catherine
Hutton, just published under the title
of "Reminiscences Of Gentlewoman
of the Last Century" Its date is April,
1S42, the period Of Sir Robert Peel's
first income tax budget, and the author
of pelham" appears by this letter to
have regarded that measure with mel.
ancholy forebodings. He considers that
such q step ought to be "the last re.
source Of nation" reserved for the
contingency of a European war. "And
who" he asks, ''can say when that may
take place, seeing the almost universal
hostility of France against us, which ]
believe the death of Louis Philippe will
at once release from restraint.
''If, like Zanoni, | might venture tc
predict, / would hazard two assertions
shat now would be considered prepos
terous-frst, that England will be in.
vaded and overrun by America anC
France, our navy conquered and Lon.
don taken; secondly, that we should
drive back the enemy, and that the
time will come when the preservation
Of Europe will force the great powers
to destroy France as q nation and to
parcel it ont ruthlessly and to Polandize
it. France must ultimately enguli
Europe, or Europe crush France; of this
last am certain" The vanity of po.
litical prophecy could not be better ex.
emplified than by tho facts that, while
happily no one of these grave contin.
gencies has arisen, the writer of the
above lines became, only sixteen years
later, a cabinet minister in govern.
ment on the best of terms with France,
and his son was until his death English
ambassador to the French republic.

PICTURES OF LINCOLN.
OF Those There Ara Many, lSut OF Por-
traits There are None.

OF Those There Ara Many, But OF Por-
traits There are None.
The question of looks depended in
Lincoln's case very much upon his
moods The large framework of his
features was greatly modified bT thc,
emotions which controlled them The,
most delicate touch of the painter often
wholly changes the expression of n
portrait; his inability to find that oue,
needed master touch causes the ever
recurring wreck of an artists ioadeaG
hopes. In q countcuance of strong
lines and rugged masses like Lincoln'a,
the lift of an eyebrow, the curve OF a
lip, the flash of an eye, the movements.
of prominent muscles created u laUeh
wider facial play than in rounded inn
mobile cOuntenances. Lincoln'S fea-
lures We're the despair OF every artist
who undertook his portrait The,
writer saw nearly dozen, ono cftey.
another, soon after the lrst uuiaiaa-
tion to the prcailency, attempt the
task. They put into their pict2res the
large rugged features and stro@s prom
incnt lines; they made measu"e:.eutss
TO obtain exact proportions; tAsy pet
rifed" some single look, bpt nc PIG
lSlAitiilCl lts--Sb NSaiA Cc-l. l4SE4A
before thesc paintings were finished it
was plain to see that they were unsat-
isfactory to the artists themselves, and
much moro so to the intimate frier,ctss
of the man; this was not he who
smiled, spoke, laughed, charmed. The
picture was to the man as the grain Of
sand to the mountain as the dead to-
the living. Graphic art was pov1erless
before face that moved through 10
thousand delicate Gradations of line
and contour, light and shade, sparkle
of the eye and curve OF the lip, in tho
long ganut of expression from grave
to gay, and back again from the roll
licking jollity Of laughter to that seri-
GUS, far-away look that with prophetic
intuitions beheld the awful panorama
of war, and heard the cry of opprJ,s-
sion and suffering There are many
pictures of Lincoln; there is no por-
trait of him. In his case there was.
such difference between the hard lii
eral shell of the physical man, ard the
fine ideal fiber, temper and aspiration
of his spirit; the ext trenes were SO far
apart that no photograph or painting
of the former could render even an ap,-
proximate representation of the latter
