Presidents fncumbency. has been the product of
well calculated judiciously exercised tyranny,
and to-day Mexico finds herself advanced into
position from which. in the opinion of the
author, there is possibility of her retreatine;
too much has been staked financially by her own
citizens upon her political stability for them to
permit any violent overturning of existent con-
ditions. AS has been shown so markedly in
France, an Industrial era tends TO perpetuate
itself
In a comprehensive volume. such as Mr.
Enoeks, place must necessarily be given TO much
material of a purely encyclopedia and general
character OF those chapters devoted to a RS
sumo of Mexico's romantic history. TO the &C
count of her prehistoric civilizations and TO the
description of her geological and typographical
peculiarities, it is enough to say that they are
compact with information and exceIlentIy pro-
portioned But it is In the chapters dealing with
Mexican character. Mexican habits Mexican pol-

ico-that We find the distinctively fresh and
original contribution of the author Here he is
quite on his own ground. and draws upon an
ineNhaustible fund Of personal experience and
observation.
Modern institutions-au the apparatus Of "gIo-
rious progress"-Mexico has adopted with a
wholesale avidity that produces many striking
lncongrulties in the spectacle she presents to the
outsider. Thus you may find highly developed
railway system in a district almost destitute of
roads; you will find city brilliant with electric

Two exhibitions in London have revived IN

artistic contemporaries. One Of these held in
celebration Of the centenary of TennysOn, con-
tanned in addition TO manuscripts and autograph
letters. number of portraits and some of the
drawings made in illustration of his verse The
AlI"nPum" does not think that the poet was
very happy in his portrait painters and singles
out The familiar drawing by Legros as the finest
representation of his head. 1t is difficult to see,
however. why fault should be found with the
portraits by Watts. He certainly did justice TO
TennySon in the character of a poet The por-
trait by Milais. which we reproduced some

of his poems was adorned by drawings made by

exhibition referred TO was of 4 set of Illus
rdtipns made for an edition OF Browning by
Miss Brickdale She appears to have done some
clever work but it is curious to note that this
poet. 81 full of pictorial suggestion, has rarely

What. by the way, has become of all the
Browning clubs in these United States? We
hear lttlc of them now and novelists have
ceased % use them as material for sarcasm. One
of the most effective instances of this use is

story published a decade ago. 1t is as amusing

fore Squire ellis in the Larabee
Opera House. Lawyers Seward l.
Field and ]. N. Tincher of Medicine
Lodge represented Mr.. Durham and
Foley of the law firm of Foley &
Hopkins of Lyons, Kas., represented
Mr.. Whclford. A jury composed
of D. A. Nossaman, Chas. Dye,
Geo. Whited and VIM. Ford heard
the testimony and arguments of
counsel and rendered a verdict in
favor of John Durham, holding
that he was entitled to possession
in lieu of proper notice to vacate.
The jury finding was of the popular
sort, everyone nearly feeling that
Durham had not been treated ex-
actly fair in the\matter. The case
will be taken to district court and
the plaintiff ultimately will get
Rev. Mayberry involved and posi-
bly, collect damage from him for not
turning over property bought and
paid for. In the meantime John
will plant and raise bumper crop
on the land.
