LORD RANpo1pH cHuRcH1LL.

I like to remember Lord Randolph as
then first saw him one afternoon in
March when, by appointment, / met
him to discuss the situation at some
rooms in the Strand, where a chess
tournament was going on. Chess was
one Of his few hobbies, and he had
asked me to meet him there. At the
time Of which I speak he was, with no
very regular features, a distinctly good
looking young man, smartly dressed
and with a certain distinction Of man
ner which marked him from the COM
mon herd He was of ordinary height
by no means the dwarf his carica-
lures suggest-well built and his face
was a pleasant one, eyes full Of intelli-
gence, though rather a feur defeat,
while his mouth, overhung with a
strong mustache curling up above his
cheeks, gave an aggressive tone to his
countenance 1t would not otherwise
have had. In color he was then, as al
ways, rather pale, with a look Of ill
health which later increased from year
to year. symptom OF the constitution
al weakness of which he SO prematurely
died. There was no lack, however, as
yet of vitality in his movements or ges-
lures On the contrary, it WAS just the
vital force in him which was the chief
attraction, and the frank irresponsible
ity in all he did and said. He had a
sechoolboy's carelessness OF phrase,
even in his most serious talk, with now
and then mischievous popularity al
together engaging. Indeed, it was diff
f1cult when conversing with him, even
after he had become cabinet minister
to regard him as a quite serious states
mana glorifed schoolboy rather
ready still to rob an orchard or tie a
cracker to the headmasters coat tall
This simplicity of speech and pleasant
humor, Joined to a high-bred courtesy
with strangers, made him a favorite es-
pecially with young men not only of
his own class in England, while, as I
afterward found, it opened to him no
less the doors of confidence in the
minds of the many Orienitals whom I
brought to see him-minds usually sus-
picious of Englishmen and slow to re-
veal their thoughts. He had none Of
that arrogant eoldness that so much re-
pels them, nor again of that abrupt
ness of address which is apt to frighten
them, as birds are frightened at any too
sudden movement. Such visitors never
failed, after an interview with Church
ill, to speak to me enthusiastically in
his praise.-Wilfrid Scamen Blunt In
