INDIGNANT MEXICANS.

The Newspapers Denounce Rhodes
Prediction Regarding Expansion.
Mexico City, March 6.-That part Of
the press interview with Cecil Rhodes
regarding the absorption Of Mexico by
the United States has excited much COM
ment here. FL TEMPO, the organ of
the Clerical party, is pleased. 1t has
for years been predicting what it calls
the pacific conquest Of this country by
the Americans. El Tempio says: "This
typical English imperialist throws off
the mask, and shows the real aim of the
Anglo-SaXOns, who aim to conquer the
world" Ii TEMPO then Indignantly
rebukes Rhodes for saying that the Latin
American republics are barbarously gov
erned.
Ell Correo Espanol, the organ of the
Spanish colony mere, says that Rodes is
a terrestrial Drake, alluding to the IA
nous English admiral who was the
scourge Of Spain's shipping and feet in
the time Of Philip II. 1t assails Rhodes
as nothing but n flibuster, who made a
fascO in South America.
The Mexican Herald says Rhodes is
plainly unacquainted with the progress
made by Mexico in recent years, and
does not comprehend the intensely pa
triotic national sentiment Of the Mexi-
can people. President Diaz, the Herald
says, has so firmly implanted the ideas
of peace here that when he is dead his
ideas viii still rule his fellow country
men.

Professor Hugh Scott says that Professor
Henry Drummond, when a boy, discovered
that he could hypnotic people. AT a
birthday party a little girl declined to
play the piano. Drummond happened to
catch her eye and said, "Play." To his
surprise she rose at once, went to the
piano and played.
At another time he hypnotized a boy
and gave him a poker for "a gun. "Now, q"
said Drummond, I'm pheasant Shoot
me. The boy did so, and Drummond
fell TO keep up the illusion, whereupon
the boy, seeing the bird" move, was
about to hit it over the head with the
poker. The hypnotizer had just time to

KISSED THE QUEEN.
Death of Woman Who Once Saluted
Victoria When the Latter
Was a Baby.

nounced in Essex of an cid woman
whose sole title to fame is that she
once kissed the queen for a shilling. In
stead of receiving the shilling, she paid
it.
1t happened a long time ago. A school
of girls met the baby, Victoria, out with
her nurse, and offered a shilling each
for permission to kiss her. The nurse
made about e2 by the transaction.
The duke of Kent Cher majestys faith
err reprimanded her, and said that in
future she must never take less than a
guinea per kiss. In honor of the event
the school girls formed themselves into
the Society of the Queens Kiss, and
sent in fulsome addresses from time to
time. The old woman in Essex was the
last survivor.

AHAUNT OF DICKENS.
The Famous Red Lion Inn of London
Is No More.

London, April 21.-The rampant Red
Lion Inn in Parliament street, at the
corner of Derby street, is vanishing.
The lion is gone and the house itself
is going. With them goes another of
the visible links which connected the
London of today with the London of
Charles Dickens. 1t was a memorable
Dickens locality, that corner public
house of ye olde Red Lion, for it was
there that Dickens himself, when a lad,
called for a glass of the very best ale
with a head on it,
He transferred the experiences con-
nected with that incident to David Cop
perfeld, and to all lovers of Dickens
that house now being destroyed had,
therefore, a double interest.
1t is told in FOrster's Life of Dick
ems" how, all attempts to avoid through
the bankruptcy court having failed, it
became necessary for the elder Dickens
to obtain the benefit of the insolvent
debtors act. Little Charles-he was at
that time a little lad-had his part to
play in the ceremonies which had to be
undertaken; he had to appear BEFORE
the official appraiser SO that his clothes
might be seen, one condition of the
statute being that the wearing apparel
and personal matters retained by the
debtor and his family were not to ex-
coed 800 in value.
And so,'' said Charles Dickens him
self later in life, speaking of the Incl
dent, Il had half holiday to enable
me to call upon him. 1 recollect his
coming out to look at me, with his
mouth full and a strong smell of beer
upon him, and saying good-na turedly
that that would do and it was all
right Certainly the hastiest creditor
would not have been disposed, even if
he had been legally entitled, to avail
himself of my poor white hat, little
jacket or corduroy trousers"
All fOrmalitieS being completed, the
elder Dickens went into the Marshalsea
the debtors prison, in which so much
of the story of Little DOrrit' is laid
and which still stands (the very rooms
occupied by Mr.. Dickens can still be
identified)-and the little Charles led
the strange, lonely life, which rouses
such intense pity as we read it in Dav-
id Copperfield and in FOrster's Hfe-fOr.
as is well known, David COpperfield
was, in many respects an actual tran
script of Dickens own bitter youthful
experiences. He had no companions of
his own age. He strOlled about, neg
lected and alone, in the back streets of
the Adelphi or explored it's dark arches
1t was at this time that the incident a t
the Red Lion occurred, which he made
use of in David Copperfield."
Dickens only friend while at the inn
was the landlords wife, who often kiss
ed the young Charles.
Here is what Dickens himself said of

TWO WASHINGTON CURIOS
One the Presidents Desk, the Other
the Old Slave Pen.

Washington, April 21.-There is an in
teresting history connected with the
desk at the White House over which the
exchange of peace treaties occurred last
week. The fact was mentioned that the
desk was presented to the United States
by Queen Victoria. 1t is made of the
timbers of the British ship ResoIute,
which went in search of Sir John
Franklin in 1852. The abandoned Reso-
lutte was picked up by an American
whaler and presented to the queen, and
when it was broken up the desk was
constructed from its timbers. 1t is a
solid and handsome piece of furniture,
of modern appearance, although made
many years ago. 1t has been used by
every president since Hayes.
A relic of slave days is now in pro-
cess of extinction. 1t has been so long
since this relic of the slave days had
been in operation that only the older
residents of Washington remember that
at one time it was what was known as
a slave pen. The city had two of these
on the site of the present Smithsonian
reservation, and the other a little to
the eastward, nearer the capitol The
latter, which is now being taken away.
is said to have been erected in the 40s
1t was customary to use this pen, which
was a two-story building, very strongly
constructed, in which to house slaves
after they had been brought into the
city, and pending an auction. A certain
class of low criminals was also locked
APP in this pen, it being considered par
criminal to be confined with slaves. The
other slave pen of Washington gave
way to the march of civilization several
wears ago.
