becomes n bulwark OF abuse ITSELF
There Is q type OF brutality Of expression II
the c~ouutenances Of the degraded classes u
London which is not met with elsewhere. Il
is a type which indicates that the dregs oil .
high civilization may become tho lowest o
savnges.
Tho strange juxtaposition OF the exalted
rich and tho squalid poor is one which I'm
presses itself nj every turn and corner II
London. The coroneted carriage and th'
ragged beRgar are seen together In tho con
slant throng. Poverty and vice and bloatet
disease jostle you on the right hand anc
hereditary wealth and honor loll proudly b,
on the left. In Pail Mall at 4 In the afternoon
the hour OF social high change, in the mids'
OF every kind OF elegance that the best parts
OF n great city display. there was to be seen q
young girl Of eighteen or twenty summer
sauntering along in the most l~cisurely man
ner. Sho was not begging. She wore two
garments. The outer one amt to her knees
and was In tatters and looked MS II 1t
might havo been made OF an old bag. The
under one. which showed plainly through the
crevices Of the outer. was OF the same
length aud material-both OF n dingy
brown from use and dirt. Her legs. to her
knees. and her feet. wore utterly bare. They
were we'll made. and she walked gracefully.
I1or face seemed TO have been once handsome.
n narrow rag was lttu ONtT Nv hchh uhh NJ
der her chin. and this completed her costume.
This suualid. hall. nake cd. ritiful object saun-
tored along. lettering and listlet. and appar-
emily devoid OF object. No. ono interfered with
her. no one even appeared to notice her.
There Ia a very important class OF gentlemen
In England as well known "a the best OF fts
dukes and earls. But as Punch says OF tho
pusilists. they are willing to shake hands
with Gentlemen' II you only" ask 'em.' These
are the jockeys about Epson time. There Ia
nobody in England SO much thought OF and
spoken OF as Fordham. Aldcroft. Challonner.
tho Grimshaws. &c. They are the great
men Of the season. and for a time Palmerston.
and Gladstone and Derby are forgotten In the
luminous glory that blazes around the heads
OF these heroes OF the stable.
Another popular and important class are the
leading sporting and gambling characters.
An eminent apostle OF their profession was
Crockford. Ho was the founder Of the great
gaming establishment In London. formerly so
well known. where are now tho Wellington
dining rooms. He was a partial paralytic. and
went thump!ng around and shaking himself.

and he took II, and whom the race took place
Crockford lost and Sir James won.
On one occasion Crockford was at tho Derby.
and after the race was asked how he came out.

England has a consistent public policy. and
It may all be summed M in a sentence: That
policy is to make herself great and other
nations small.
1t was in accordance with It that sho aimed
to break up the union OF the United States.
In behalf OF this policy everything Is made
to bend. argumentatively as well as In prac-
tical action. Every kind Of GROSS current that
could be directed to this purpose was set in
motion during our war. Aludlcrous example
Is furnished BY one Of Sir Bulwer Lytton's
against the absurdity OF surprising the United
states are to remain undivided.
