LONDON, Eng, July II, 1892.
M Dear Fdther:-We reached Liver
pool the 9th of July after very pleasant
voyage. As we came up the Irish Chan
mel we passed the City of Chicago OF the
Inman line, which had stranded on the
rocks day or two before and was rapidly
going to pieces. All her passengers and
crew were saved, fortunately, as well as
considerable part of her cargo | came
over on the City of Chicago four years ago
and found her very comfortable boat.
The morning after landing at Liverpool
we took the train for London, reaching
here about three in the afternoon. We Sc
cured lodgings and board and started out
at once to see the sights: Visited the Brit
ish museum, the Bank of England, and
the House of Parliament that evening
the last two on the outside only. The
next day, Friday we visited Westminster
Abbey, one of the most interesting places
in the world Here are buried most of
as most of England great statesmen, gen
erals and writers for the last 700 years.
Lord Nelson and the Duke OF Wellington
are buried i'm st. Paul's Cathedral and we
visited their tombs yesterday. Sunday we
went to hear DIR. Joseph Parker, the Beech
er of Great Britain, preach in the City
Temple. He preached one of the most
powerful sermons | ever listened to. To-
day John and | went up to Hampton
court, the palace built by Cardinal Wool
sey and presented by him to Henry VIII.
1t was for many years the home of the
English sovereigns. 1t is mammoth pile
of buildings, surrounded 10y one of the
most magnificent parks in the world. 1t is
- miles out of London. 1t began to rain
about noon; otherwise We should have
walked through the park and come home
on a Thames boat. Tomorrow we shall
probably go out to Sydenham TO see the
Crystal Palace. | should have said that
Yesterday we visited the Tower of London
and Mark Lane Exchange. A the Tower
we saw the room in which most of the
distinguished state prisoners of England
were confined, and many of them after
ward executed and buried. In the little
chapel connected with the tower lie buried
Sir Walter Raleigh, Lady Jane Grey: Anne
Boelyn and Jane Howard, wives of Henry
VIII, as well as many others almost equal
ly noted. Just outside is slab marking
the spot where they were beheaded. AL
most every spot here is historic. This
week we shall 90 to Windsor Castle and
may get a sight of the queen as she drives
out. One of our most interesting visits
was to ;he Houses of Parliament. We had
pointed out to us Mr.. Gladstone's seat,
that of Parnell and the seat formerly oc-
cupied by Disraeli before he became Lord
Beaconsfeld. Parliament was recently
dissolved but will redssemble in August.
If l am here then shall try to get adj
mitted to the strangers gallery. We may
90 to Switzerland by and by.

There could not be a better time than
the month Of August for killing the past
ure bushes and those along the roadside
and fences. Nov or cut them now and
allow them to lie where they fall until dry d;
then burn them upon the ground if it can
be done without danger to the fences, and
the burning will kill such sprouts as may
be starting, and thus doubly discourage
them. The old farmers rule used to be to
NOV in July, burn in August, and allow
the sheep to browse them in September;
but they can be both cut and burned in
August; and if there are no sheep to
browse them, they can be cut again in
September, and the sprouts that start after
that are likely to be so tender as to be win
ter-killed

People who wonder why anybody should
seek an abode on the slopes of volcano
like Mt. -Etna may be interested to learn
that the richest and most fertile soil that is
to be found in the world exists there. The
lava that is poured forth from the crater
makes the finest fertilizer, and no other
land yields such frequent and abundant
crops. The lava beds decomposing under
the influence of the wind and rain make up
a soil on which almost anything can be
grown. On the slopes of -Etna there are
today over 100000 people, a greater num-
Der in proportion to the area than are to be
found in all the rest of Italy. These peo-
pie are housed in two cities and ~ towns
and villages, many of which contain over
1000 people each. On the slopes of the
other great volcanoes it is the same, the
people crowding to the luXuriant soil, de
spite all the danger that their residence
there involves.

After the Grip

Convalescence Is very slow, and TO re-
cover the healthtone a good tonic is abb
solutely necessary. Hoods Sarssparilla
has been used with wonderful success
as building-up medicine and blood
purifier after attacks of the Grip. after
Typhoid Fever. Diphtheria, Pneumonia
or other prostrating diseases. 1t posses
ses just the building-uD effect so much
needed; it vitslizes ard enriches the thin
and impoverished blood, and it inyigor-
ates the kidneys and stimulates the liver
so that they resume regular and healthy
action. Thousands of people have taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla as a preventive of
the Grip with success. Thousands have
found in it restoration to health and
strength after this dreaded complaint.
For instance, Mr.. Jacob Knapp of lip
ton. Iowa, a well known business man,
says he had the Grip twice, leaving HIM
very weak and with a bad cough.
Hoods Sarsaparilla gave him a splendid
appetite, made him feel strong and as
we'll as ever. 51-m

cons bedroom at Cannes Tuesday
night is the one great subject
Of conversation in the fashion
able circles in Europe. All the
parties in the case are SO
well known that it is impossible to
enter social circle without meeting
some of their friends. Mr. Deacon is
upheld on all sides, particularly among
Americans, for killing his wife's lover,
and very little if any sympathy is ex-
pressed for Mrs. Deacon.
1t is almost impossible out of the
many conflicting stories told of the
shooting TO get at all the exact facts in
the case. The dead man, who was a
brother of the deputy of the same
name, had, it would seem, been carry
ing on an intrigue for some years past
with Mrs Deacon. Mr.. Deacon had
long been suspicious of his wife.
Mr.. Deacon was taken by the chief
commissaire to the Hotel de Vile at
Grasse, where the details of the inves-
LEGATION were formally reported to him.
Then he was set at liberty upon his
own recognizances, although the Judge
stipulated he should reside in Grasse

for the murder of NJ. Abeille and tried
at the next Nice assizes at the end of
