Charming sqoAres-
Some of the London squares arc
quaint and charming, being mostly laid
out in the Dutch fashion. Golden
square, near Regent street; Red Lion
and Queen squares, in bloomsbury. are
capital specimens. The first, though
SO close to Regent street, might be
dozen miles away: there is welcome
unkemptneSs; the grass is rank and
wild; there are old trees ranged around
its border in systematic way.
The houses round are picturesque.
because every one is distinct. The
square is given over to commission
agents, merchants and trade generally,
yet within lew years it was place OF
xenteel residence, like usual square,

Dickens, it will be remembered, placed
Ralph Nickelby's house here. which Is
described on the occasion of the party
of Sir Frederick and Sir Mulberry as
having almost palatial apartments aud
the richest furniture. AS we wander
around we are struck with the melan-
choly tone of the Enclosure, yet every
thing seems brisk enough, but it be-
longs 10 the old world.
The square itself is very attractive
and original, with sort Of Dutch or
foreign air; we note the fine trees
which shelter it all around in symmet-
rical lines and the Roman warrior sort
of statue in the center, arrayed in full
armor, and representing George II.
The grass and walks are laid out with
a certain free-and-easy carelessness
that is very acceptable and contrasts
! with the trim, shayen, scullcss treat
ment of modern squares. Altogether
visit to Golden square will interest.
Berkeley square everyone Knows.
i Yet it has all extraordinary, sympa-

Enforcing Peace.

The late Prof. John Stuart Blackie
was q man of marked individuality, as
well an one of the most learned and pro-
life writer's of his time. He was fond
of peace, but had good deal OF Scotch
pugnacity in his composition.
He himself used to tell story OF his
early life which he thought exemplihed
both the traits in his own character.
..As boy" he said, II was always an
taeonistic to school fights; pugilism
had no fascinations for me. One day .
fellow-pupil came clustering to me. and
said:
..Come, now, viii you fight me7
"sNo,' replied, but will knock you
DOWN.
..This / proceeded to do, amid the ap-
plause Of the school.
This seemed very like fighting, but It
had the effect to cause the Blackie boy .

that. It may sometimes be found nee

tion Of Shutters.
Does any one of my readers know
where atinderbox can be seen, or has any
OF them an idea of what it is like? For
tunately came upon description OF
it in the recently published account OF
the lifetime Of John Holiingshead.
.'The tinderbox was the toy OF my child
hood" It was certainly not toy in
nv time; it was very much the reverse

however, Mr.. Hollingshead still to
ar,eak. without it there would have
been no light or fire-with it there were

tain amount of safety. No child could
burn down a house or burn itself to a
cinder with tinderbox." Ut was, in
fact, beyond the reach Of most children
to strike q light.) First OF all, the
rugs had to be got and burned into
tinder. 'This tinder was put into a
large round tin box, big enough for
pic dish. Then piece of jagged Hint
had to be got, and thing called a
STEEL which might have been the re-
taains of IN old horseshoe, had to be
rurchased; the flint struck edgeways
on the steel sent sparks into the tinder,
which smoldered and prepared itself
for the matches.
~The matches were formidable bum

stone. They suggested Guido Fawkes

a century since have seen such thing.
It is possible that in the country it
still exists; with the penurious char
acter of the French peasant and the
heavy tax in France on matches 1t is
more than probable that it might there
be found. In London it is now an an
tiquity. References to the flint in this
respect are frequent in Shakespeare.

ing US about $2,000O00 day
AS Spain will have to pay
it all in the sweet by and by, and with
interest, we need not worry about it,
for in a way we can figure that we are

not get it all back in spot cash, but we
will get an equivalent for it. anyhow

SPANISH METHODS.
San Jose Herald: The course of this
war thus far demonstrates that the
Spaniards do not conduct war in ac-
cordance with the usages of civilized
countries. Modern war is not supposed
to be a fight to the death merely for
the sake Of fighting. Where further
resistance is plainly futile and pur-
pos eless, civilization demands that
commander shall surrender TO save the
useless effusion of blood. OF course
there are occasions in which the fate
of general operations demands the alb
solute sacrifice of a command. In such
cases a fight to the bitter end is i'm
perative. But the Spanish Government
calls upon it's officers to fight merely for
the sake Of fighting; to die needlessly
and to no purpose, on penalty of being
court martialed and shot.
The necessary tendency of this bar
barous way of carrying on war is to in
tersify the struggle ard make it un-
necessarily bloody and cruel The
Americans are humane people in
peace or war. but if confronted by enc
mics who can no longer oppose effectual
resistance and will not give up, what
can they do but to pound them to
pieces, however unpleasant the task
may be. 1t looks as though the Span
ish at Santiago would listen to no rea
sen. In that event the responsibility

of any country in the world can Grea[
Britain afford to enter into race COM
pact. And if she could afford to do 1T,
where would she find her Anglo
SaXons? The Scotch, the Irish and the
Jews have ruled her in craftsmanship,
literature and finance for generations,
even centuries. And even if England
were solidly AngloSaXon and if the
United Kingdom We're all English, still
the British Empire would be an anti
Anglo-Saxon force.
But the chief absurdity relates to this
country To assume because we speak
the English language that we are An
glo-Saxon in derivation is to assume
a demonstrable error. Taking into con-
sideration the most liberal estimate of
the proportion of Anglo-SaXon in the
American people at the time after the
revolution and computing carefully the
immigration since, the most favorable
result will not give more than a 20 per
cent strain of English blood in the
IO,O0O,OO0 of American citizens. The
best authorities place it as low as 16
per cent. What an absurd proposition
it is then to assume that from one
sixth to one-quarter of our population
we are to make a sentimental blood
alliance with a foreign power against
our own fellow citizens.
NOT GODDESS.
Los Angeles Times: 1t is true that
We do not, as a nation, claim any relig-
ion or creed, and that our tolerance is
limitless; but no people upon earth
have a more genuine reverence for the
most high God, and for man made in
his image than have we. No nation
recognizes more distinctly the obliga-
tions of duty and humanity the sane
tity of all the sacred relations of life,
and OF the responsibilities of citizen
ship, than does ours; and are not these
high faiths in God and man a religion
as far above creedS as the stars are
above the sea that family and fitfully
reflects them?
1t was the national conscience-the
belief in the justice of God as revealed
in human history-that brought the
United States to realize that slavery
must be destroyed if a righteous Gov
ernment was to survive. A belief in
the vindication of that same justice en-
abed us to endure the terrible suf-
fering of the greatest civil war of mod
ern times. When defeat attended our
arms we girded ourselves anew to the
conflict, knowing that in Gods good
time the old flag would float stainless
over chastened people.
