We English go our own way, so far as
we can sec, 18th very little regard for any
body's susccptibilities, and we must suffer
other powers TO go theirs interfering only
when the injury becomes serious enough
to require something more digniticd than

them, and it'll this extra Justification
that, as they see quite clearly, our power

the strength Of the British empire and its
ability to take leading part in control

we are to carry out such ideas as we ARE
now carrying out in eastern Africa we
must suffer the equal powers Of Europe to
carry out theirs. 1t is folly TO claim east
Africa, as we are practically doing, from
Alexandria to the Cape and at the same
time worry about France on the Niger or
Russia in northern China and AIazan-

which we seem to our neighbors to lie
around the world like the serpent Of the
Morse mythology, and then we are angry
because they watch us jealousy and try to
do little enterprises on their own account.

about footpaths, and we cannot honestly
say that it is VIC who display either the
patience or the fearlessness Of the best
caste, much less the tranquility Of those
who are sure alike Of their rights and of
their power to enforce them. Fancy Great

of serpents by Hercules, who appears a
stalwart boy, much older than the tradi-
tionully ascribed ten months. There was
also "a pictorial representation of Hero and
Leander, ard of the deseIfion Of Ariadno
by Theseus there were about 25 examples

very commonplace and realistic character.

The talk about General Benjamin F..
Buffers presidential canvass in 1884 brings
out a good story of him in one Of his sew
eral unsuccessful campaigns for governor
Of Massachusetts, 1t should be known that,
if to be governor of the old Bay State was
not General Buffers highest ambition, II
certainly was his strongest determination.
He was defeated for gubernatOiral honors
in 1871, when he was the Republican NOM
inee, and in 1878 and 1879, when no was
the nominee of the Greenbackers and one
wing of the Democrats. He was elected in
1882 and defeated in 1883. The story is
an incident that happened in the 1873
campaign, when he had Governor Talbot
as his opponent Both were anxious to
win, and party feeling ran high, as it al
ways did when Butler was II candidate.
The two were invited to attend a ball given
by labor organization whose votes each
candidate was DESTROYS Of securing. They
were pretending to enjoy themselves huge

asked Butler to lead cotillon. This was

Mr.. Bayard, who always looks for points
of agreement rather than points Of differ
ence between the two great branches Of our
race, has found "a new illustration, to his
mind, in their facial resemblance. In his
speech at GainsbOrough he declared that he
could not tell the average Englishman
from the average American by merely
looking at him. He did not say the diff
flculty would continue after he had heard
one OF the other speak.
The identity in appearance is certainly
most remarkable, The "cut" of the coun-
tenanco Is the same in both. 1t may dis
tress them to hear it, but American crowds
and American travellers look very English
They seem to go to the same hairdresser
and the same tailor. But there Is some
thing more than that, for the likeness OK
tends to the build OF the face, to its great
structural lines.
1t is to be noted in other branches Of
the race. In Denmark or in Holland, in
Friesland especially, the man in the street
is a conceivable Englishman, except for
the cut of his coat The Dutch interiors"
of the great age of art would make excel
lent English interiors but for the differ
ence in the accessories A new type Is
forming no doubt with the great admix-
ture of races on the American continent
but it is at present so busy with its mental
characteristics that it has had no time to
settle the pattern Of its features. 1t may
20 further for models and fare worse,
though perhaps we ought not to say so.
As for the speech difference, go to the
eastern counties, whence so many of the
pilgrims came, and you will hear "Ameri-
can" almost pure and indebted to this day.
