Better Known In England.

It is said that the late Daniel Green leaf Thompson of this city had his books published i'll England not from any lack of patriotism, but because the serious works that he produced found d much better market ill England. Like General Walker, he was much better known as an author in England than he was in his own country. He belonged to the individualist school and it IS perhaps a curious fact that, while Americans are instinctiyely as individ- ualistic as any ieople in the world. their controversial literature affords few good examples of the expression of individualistie social CT economic theo- ries.

 It was foul, dark place and full of evil smells. Drops of water stood on the cold stone walls, and green mold crept along the floor The air was heavy and dank, and it began to be hard for Nick to breathe
 Up with thee, said the turnkey gruffiy, unlocking the door to the staiIg.
 The common room above was packed with miserable wretches. The strongest kept the window lodges near light and air by sheer main force and were dicin9 on the dirty sill The turnkey pushed and banged his way through them, Nick clinging desperately to his jerkin.
 In the cell at the end of the corridor there was Spanish renegade who rail ed at the light when the door was open ed and railed at the daskness when it closed. "Cesare el Moro, Cesare el Mo TO" he was saying over and over again to himself, us if he feared he might for get his own name

By his side were a broken biscuit and all empty stone jug. He had his fingers ill his ears to shu out tine tolling of the knell fer the men who had gone to be hanged.
 The turnkey shook the bars 9sHere, wake up!' ke said.
 Carew locked up His eyes were swollen, and his face was covered with q two days beard He had slept ill his clothes, and they were full of broken straw and creases.
