At tn«j iams moment Van Hoeck, starting forward, cried: iue protracted absence of Brace and I Van Hoeck excited my misgivings, and, despite the Judge's promise, I already reproached myself with having abandoned my blind partmDr. The Judge's notions of justice were peculiar, and based upon "t he tough usage\)f California miners in the days, when they made and executed their own laws. I believed Him capable of applying torture, only atop. ping short of actual murder, to wring from Van Hoeck the secret which he be, lieved Jam tx» hold with respect to the lost diamond. I retraced my steps to the spot where I had helped to conceal Van Hoeck. The broken brake marked a distinct trail, and in a pit jess than a hundred yards from that point the undergrowth was beaten down, as if a struggle had taken place. • Was it not possible that Brace had gone further than he intended, and killed Van Hoeck? Had he ooucealed the body, and fled with his daughter to escape the consequences of his act? Asking myself these questions, I followed a track from the pit that brought me into the bridle-way. Looking for traces of a passage through the brake, I made my way down toward the road. Again I perceived broken brake, and following the line, I threaded my way betw«en the trees upon the slope of the hill until I emerged from the wood upon the high back that edged the abbey road at that part. It was as nearly as possible the point where Van Hoeck had stopped me in the moruing upon hearing Brace in our rew, Looking up the road, I saw the finger-port at the cross-roads; looking down, I saw that which to«k my breath away with amazement—Brace 'was tnidgingalong the'Toad toward the abbey, with Van Hoeck holding his arm on one side, and Lola his hand upon the other—an incomprehensible picture of unity, friendly assistance, and reliance. It was true that without assistance Van Hoeck could not have found his way along the rood, and very possible that, without the restraint of her father's hand, Lola would not have walked by his aide; . but all doubt as to the existence of a friendly understanding between the two men was dispelled from my mind by what followed.

TALMAGB IN ENGLAND, r-s activity, tin Deiongea to tae wesleyan denomination, in which he was an exhorter. Such knowledge of English as he and his wife possessed they had gained exclusively through their efforts to read, the Tabernacle sermons, and he was*proud of the fact that, though he spoke English but brokenly, he could both read and write it correctly and flatly. Fronj. the columns of the paper named he had learned that Dr. Talmage would leave New York on tbe City of Paris on Oct. 30, and arrive in I/jndon the following Wednesday, and that the next day be would start for Rome on his way to Palestine. The Worthy couple had cAmlated that he weald take the 11 a. m. train from London, and filled with a burning desire to see the man whose sermons had done them so much good-, they had decided t6 go to the dock at Calais and there await his arrival. To make sure of recognizing him, they had, before they left home, ttkdiaf very carefully the feat' urea of aDb*&it (hat adorned the waHs of their home. Thus prepared, they scanned the hundreds of faces of people who left the boat, until they were quite sure that they had found the original erf the likeness. The train stopped, the story came to an end, and with many additional assurances of never ending gratitude and a thousand apologies for tlieir intrusion, husband and wife wended their way towards the city, I am quite sure exceedingly pleased with the unique visit they had made. They left a neat box of exquisite biscuits, which were a particularly grateful acquisition on our long journey as well as an evidence ot kind thoughtfulness on the part of the given. Before they had passed fully out of sight they turned and waved a final adieu. Dr. Talmage, who surely more than any other living man could substantiate a claim to the world as his parish, was visibly affected. We reached Paris, tired and hungry, at 7 in the evening. Seated at the table, discussing plans for the most profitable use of the few hours we could command in the gay capital, before departing for Rome the next morning at 10, we were interrupted in a manner somewhat similar to our London experience of visitation, but on a much smaller scale. A few visitors were warmly received, but others had to be disappointed. As we arrived the day after the World's exhibition closed, we were unfortunately not able to see it m its glory. Getting up early in the morning, however, we took a coach and drove over to the grounds in order to see the famous Eiffel tower. Dr. Talmage was quite °nraptured with the gracefulness of the structure, but expressed the opinion that, should such a building be considered desirable for the World's fair of 1)892, the American people would experience no difficulty in excelling it. In the language of Wall street, he is a bull on American genius, and feels certain that no other people equals the American. When questioned as to his impressions of the tower, he said: "It surpasses my expectations. I never before saw the exquisite and majestic so effectively combined. The way to look at it is to let your eye start at the base and very slowly ascend, and by the time your sight has traveled to the top you will find yourself out of breath with emotion.

Then there was another reason also. George Francis Train had just been liberated from the Boston jail and, clothed in a seersucker Buit, he had gone about all day distributing handbills announcing that he would lecture on the following evening. At the top of the handbill in big black lotters were the words: Here Is a Graphic Letter from His Traveling Companion.

Again looking back, I saw the Jodpe still plodding on, with the same rtiythmic swing of his long arms. Running had given us no sensible advantage; Van Hoeck's ear told him this. Drops of moisture stood on his livid face, the result of terror rather than exertion.

He's got to tell us i. tun thin* more about this than we know on." It was striking five when we quitted the house. The Judge left me to look about the garden and its vicinity for Van Hoeck; he nimself struck out at once for the wood, taking Lola with him. The girl would have stayed with me, but her father had her hand in his, and there was no getting away from that grip. After exploring the garden, I took the path that led to the lodjge, as being one that Van Hoeck frequently walked in when alone. The lodge-keeper was not up, but, passing through the open wicket into the road, I came upon a laborer, trudging along to his work with a picfe upon his shoulder, and a tin flask in his hand. "There is no one in sight—no one we can call to for help?" he asked. "No one. I see a footpath thrpugh the wood;if you think that will be safer." "Yes, yes—anything is batter thai) this oped road!'' We-took the path I had caught Bight of. It was a good sound bridle-way» covered with short turf; we ran along"noiselessly. The angle we made shut off th« view from the road. Brace could not cut off the corner without getting entangled in the undergrowth of brier* interwoven with the tall brako, i C He must follow iaour steps to overtake us. The danger lay hi the straightness of the rath; which -kept the view open from the road. Onr escape depended upon our flhding a by-path that might deceive him as t6 the course we had taken ; I explained this to Van Hoeck as wf ran on. "It is time we found one now if weare to escape," he answered. The w it step brought as to a footpath that cut the bridle-way at right angles. Looking down the green alley toward the road, as we turned off from it, 1 could see nothing of the Judge. I thought we had beaten him. But we advanced now with great difficulty. There was room only for one in the path, yet I had to fceephofd of Yah Hoeck's hand and guide him, foe the brake met before us; the trailing brambles that crossed the. patlr caugh£ his feet; at every step he stumbled. It was hopeless to continue. Already I fancied I caught a glimpse through the trees of the Judge swinging along the bridle-way. "Your only chance is tb get among the brake, and throw vauiwlf down while Igo on," I said, "1 can go quicker alone, and coming behind, he may imagine that you are still before me." "Show me where to go." I I opened a way the brake, led him behind a thicket, and hade him lie down. As he carried oat this instruction, I got back into the footpath, and was then enabled to trot along at ft br&k pace. fitmea It was only just in tine, for looking back a couple of minutes later, I perceived the Judge ploughing his way through brake and bramble, which came well up to the level of his breast, with as; little difficulty as though it had been meadow-grass, and with the same steady swing of his bent shoulders. He had caught sight of me from the bridle-way, and struck out at once into the thick of the undergrowth. '."""""J, J I did not in the slightest degree participate in Van Hoeck's suspicions and fears, and having, as I hoped, succeeded in diverting from him the object of his dread, I was indifferent as to whether the Judge overtook me or not. Had I been in the humor to enjoy a joke. I think I should have enjoyed giving him a long chase for nothing; but circumstances were too grave for that. I pursued the path until it dipped down into a hollow, and there finding a fallen tree across the path, I sat down and watted for the Judge to come up. In a few minutes he stood before me with his arms folded on hie chest, his feet planted apart, and a particularly stern look on his gaunt, weather-beaten face. "He has given me the slip; has he given ft.to vou likewise?" he asked. "No," 1 replied; "1 gave it to mm. I helped him to escape.

When we arrived in Queenstown harbor the tugboat Flying Fox delivered mail to the passengers on board the magnificent flyer on which we had crossed the Atlantic. The letters, telegrams and cablegrams received wero innumerable, and I need not say that the great Brooklyn preacher got the lion's share of them. There were letters of condolence,  dently fresh from hearts deeply stirred with sympathy, that the Brooklyn Tabernacle had .been destroyed. Accompanying were tributes of grateful acknowledgment for religious blessings which the writers had .'experienced while reading or listening to the matchless Bermons of the American divine. Benedictions invoked God's choicest blessings on the preacher and the members of liis party, while pursuing their pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Offers of assistance in the raising of funds for the new and larger Tabernacle were a whole avalanche of epistolary arrival. Letters not a. few embodied invitations for the doctor's assistance in breaking up ground now barren of religious fruitage. But I must stop revealing the secrets of a mail which gladdened Dr. Talmage's heart and caused his eyes to beam with joy as he reviewed the expressions of reverential affection with which his name i3 cherished by the generous hearts of Christian England.

On The Wing, Nov. 28.—In seeking to elevate the stage by means of our justly celebrated entertainments, which I. believe Mr. Thomas Bailey Aldrich has happily characterized as a higher order of literary minstrelsy, we meet a good many people. We meet a great many, of them as we go to our work in the . evening1 and when we come away weDmeet others while on our way home. But those are not the ones I refer to especially. I refer more especially to the eminent men whose homes are in the cities we visit and who courteously shake hands with us and bid .us godspeed, often going so far as to introduce us to the audience.

This should teach us that too often we are apt to misunderstand the attentions showered upon us by the public and misconstrue the motive itself which prompts them.

The shampoo mixture used afterward, and the hair encourager which starts the giant's new hair, come from the tonsorial emporium of Messrs. Confersezzione Bros. But why go into detail. The fine old town of Dover and its noble cliffs suggested to Dr. Taimage "any quantity of interesting references, with which royally not only his own party, but everybody else within the sound of his voiqe. His post of vantage was on the upper deck of the squatty but powerful steamer which carried us across the English channel to France. On the lower deck seasickness was, as usual, so I understood, the order of the day, but on the upper deck everybody was listening eagerly to the doctor's eloquence. Lunch was neglected, and people who had called for ginger ale and sandwiches permitted their effervescing beverage to spoil rather than, in the eagerness of their attention, to lose what was being said. To show his wonderful recuperative powers, though now over sixty, I will add that after his death, he came before the curtain and bowed twice in the Italian tongue. It then was half past fire, or perhaps a little later. Arrived opposite the bridle-path leading up ftito the wood they stopped, and consultation ensued between the two men. T could npt hear their voices at that distance, but I saw by their gesticulations that they were discussing soma point; it ended by Brace's going to the side of the road, and craning bis neck to see if anyone were in sight. I crouched down beside the thicket, which partly concealed me. When I cautiously raised my head and looked again, Brace, still standing op* posite tike bridle-way, was drawing hit arm out of the sandy hank thaP there skirted the road. I ducked my head an once more he peered to the right and left. They were gone, ail three, when £ looked again. When I thought it mtfe to venture, I went to the spot where Brace had stood. There was a rabbit-hole hi the sandy cut-; ting, partly hiddefibythetraiting growth from the overhanging edge. I look off my coat, turned back my sleeve, thrust in my arm, and drew out—the leather case w whicfr the diamond had been taken from mu wriat! It was empty. « I again thrust my arm in and explored the hole, thinking—though it was little likely—that the diamond had slipped out of the casCD of been put in separately. It was a kind of cul-de-sac—the earth had. fallen In from above and blocked the passage at less than the length of my arm from the entrance;' but I did not give up the search until I was absolutely certain that the Great Hen per was not there. It was not probable they would place the diamond m such an open place; the leather case was different. It was unsafe to keep that, but it -was of little consequence where they abandoned it. But why had they taken the diamond; from the case, ami what had they done with it?" A dew to this mystery also I discovered before long. When I got back to the abbey. Brace, Van Hoeck and Lola were in the library .with the police-officer. Sir Edmund, Mr. Wray—his lawyer—and a couple of friends, justices of the peace, who had been brought by the rumors which were already widely spread. Lola" was still under examination. She was stubbornly silent. with the greatest difficulty that any response to the questions put could be drawn from, her. But she admitted seeing the man drop from the oriel; and, asked if it was one of the servants, she replied firmly, "No." But more than thtt could not be got out of her on this point. To the inquiry how she had discovered the means of getting from the bay into the oriel, for it was by that way she had come to my assistance, she replied that site "had seen it done before,'• but she would not say whom she had seen. The police-officer asked me to go into! the adjoining dining-room with him. "May I ask," he said, "if you have any reason to suspect that you have been robbed by your friends—your partner? in the diamond? because they profess to have been in the woods all the morning, whereas I have good causa to believe that they have been in the town of Southampton! part of the time." "Are you sure of that?" _ "I win take my oath that I saw the; little savage in the red petticoat in the High Street an I started to come here." "Have you passed a blind gentleman on the road?" I asked. "I ain't passed 'im,n he answered; "bat as I come by the cross-roads I see some 'un, as looked gentleman-like, kind 'er fumbling his wav along the road ddwn by Harley bottom." I knew the cross-roads; they were nearly two miles distant. It was incomprehensible to me how Van Hoeck" had strayed so far from the abbey; but this laborer's description left little room for doubt that it was Van Hoeck he had seen, and I started at once in the direction indicated. A little while ago we had Mr. Powderly 'on the platform with us and he took occasion to remind me that he was among my early subscribers to the old Laramie Boomerang, a paper which I had the honor of* foundering some years ago. In the rash of scampering years I had forgotten it, but I remembered it at once When he recurred to the fact. I do not remember the name of the other subscriber, biit I can not well forget Mr. Powderly, because he was the one who paid me. A man with a heart like that can not help having friends, and Terrence will find tae over grateful. Any time I can give him a good reading notioe 1 will be glad to do so. I may not be oursed with the fatal gift of beauty, but a man can be grateful without being beautiful. We also met the other day Mr. McKee, who has risen to the notioe which he little courted or oared for, because he was the father of Baby McKee. He is a handsome, modest young man, with a very straightforward way which indicates his own worth aside from tho honor of being the father of Baby Mc- Kee. His case is a mild repetition of history. Judge Conkling was a man of recognized ability and this reputation was not confined to his own city or State. Onoe, however, in later years he was introduced as "the father of Roscoe Conkling." He said: "There was a time, , NOTES ON NOTABLES. 8abah Bernhardt has a magnificent bomb in the oemetory of Pere la Chaise. Sib Charles Russell receives the largest income from his practice of any man in the world and lives like a Prince. - As it appeared, long before when the trip was expected to end, the boat was fastened to the stone pier at Calais, and a small aruay of porters had infested it. These fussy fellows insisted on dissecting our luggage and taking ashore piecemeal at the rate of two centimes apiece. We were quite in despair as to how to make a clearing through the babbling crowd that surrounded us on every side, when a gentleman, his eye beaming with joy, laid hold of Dr. Talmage's arm, and, with the air of a man confident that be had found the object of- bis search, very politely inquired if he had the "honneur of addressing Mons. le Docteur Talmache." Having received an affirmative answer, with gesticulations expressive of ecstatic delight, he shouted enthusiastically: "Paidon, I call my wife," and off he hurried , evidently impelled by the laudable desire to double his joy by sharing it with his wife. In less time than it takes to pen these words he returned with a bright, cheerful looking lady, who at once shook both of Dr. Talmage's hands' (and mine also), and then bestowed thje same mode of appreciation on each of the balance of the party. In the meantime, her husband, quickly apprehending the difficulty we were in, owing to our ignorance of French, straightened out matters in the twinkling of an eye to our entire satisfaction, insisting in paying out of his own pock* i such trifling fees as biaterially assLi one's way in a country 'where prospective gratuities constitute no mean item in the computation of salaries. Then, taking as much of the hand baggage as he could manage to handle, he led the way to the waiting room, where he begged permission to supply the ladies with luscious pears and grapes there on sale, and without waiting for a reply bought sufficient for the party. The acceptance of his friendly offering made him feel proud as a king. Thus encouraged, he again took the lead, carrying baggage in both hands and under both arms to the train, where, taking the guard;or, as we say in America, the conductor, to a corner, he managed, by the aid of arguments, gesticulations and fees, to secure for us the advantages of a private compartment from Calais to Paris, thus greatly adding to the oomfort of Dr. Talmage, who is a most voracious reader, and who in .traveling takes care to acquaint himself with whatever of historic7 interest may be attached to the locality through which he is passing. Our Frenchman was an entire stranger to the party, and thus far all we had managed to ascertain with regard to him was that he was "so glad of the honneur to meet Mons. la Docteur Talmache." Fearing that he would vanish as suddenly and as unexpectedly as he had come, and anxious, in some way, to acknowledge our indebtedness and express our appreciation of his disinterested and timely services, Dr. Talmage was about to say that he was very thankful, etc., when the Frenchman promptly interrupted him by saying: "Oh, ve ride a little vay," and, suiting the action to the word, he and his wife, after politely bowing us all into the compartment, followed and closed the door behind them. In another moment the train began to move and we were off. Miss Amelia B. Edwards is descended from the older branch of the Fitz- Gerald family, whose head is the Earl of Leicester. I could not see Van Hoeek from the cross-roads, but on turning the angle of the lane at the foot of the hill, I perceived him feeling the way with painful slowness, and on the side of the hedgerow, a hundred yards in advance. Hearing my step, he turned, and recognizing, it, came to meet me He seemed to forget the danger of making a false step, and advanced with eager quickness—his whole body partaking the expression of anxiety imprinted on his features. "Is it vou, Thome?" he called. "Yes, I replied. i "What has happened?" I waited until I got up to him, then putting my hand orfhis shoulder, I said: "I have bad news for you, Van Hoeck." He trembled violently under my hand, and opened his lips to speak, but no sound came; his condition waa pitiable, and to keep him no longer in suspense, I said: "I have lost it. It has been taken from me." "Who has taken itT he asked, in a thick, husky voice. "I cannot say. I could not see the man who robbed me." Our time in Liverpool was short and barren of particular incident. London was reached after a rapid and pleasant run on the Midland railway. The great metropolis gave the doctor a welcome as it seemed to me commensurate with the majestic vastness of the capital of the world. It was not only great in its representative comprehensiveness, but cordial beyond expression. Gentlemen representing different churches vied with each other to assure Dr. Talm&ge of the high esteem in which he is held by them personally as well as by the societies to wliich they belonged. As I looked on the scene I felt proud that all England, a3 it seemed, was present to honor one of America's foremost citizens. Greetings had been exchanged in profusion when we thought of taking supper and retiring for the night, the journey to Plaris awaiting us on the morrow. Going for a light refreshment to the noble dfning room of the hotel where we were stopping, the ovation took a new start, and card after card was presented. There was no use in fighting an inevitable destiny. After hastily taking a few bites, Dr. Talmage made his way to the reception room, where invitations to preach or lecture were extended to him from nearly every part of the British empire. A representative of one of the foremost religious journals of the world came prepared to close an arrangement for a month's preaching tour through England, suggesting that the English people would cheerfully respond to the amount of five thousand pounds (twenty-five thousand dollars) towards the tabernacle to be built in Brooklyn, if Dr. Talmage would spend that length of time with them. However tempting such a munificent offer must have appeared to him, he could not be persuaded to entertain it, nor any of the numerous invitations literally showered upon him. His speech of declination was happily expressed, breathing a candor which admitted of no further attempt to influence his deaision to carry out bis prearranged plans without deviation. He said: • V * Mr. Edison has been granted 403 patents on his inventions, and has over S00 applications pending. Most of these are electrical devioes. Miss Sanger, the President's typewriter, is said to be more Useful to him than any clerk ia his employ. She is a rapid worker and can copy on her machine 120 letters a day. Tue head of the Mormon church, President Woodruff, is eighty-two years old. He is solidly built and his head looks lflce that of General Grant. He wears his hair and beard close cropped and does not have a ministerial air at all. The play opens with an argument which is read by those who wish to know more about it than they can gather from what Sig. Salvini Bays, all of which is in Italian. Clara Morris owns a very pretty piece of property on the line which divides the city of New York from Yonkers. The boundary divides her bed, and when she is asleep her head rests in New York while her feet are in Yonkers. It appears that at the time of the incident the Jews were under subjections to the Philistines and discriminated against them in the matter of rates on freight, both through and way freight. If they wanted to examine a car-load of Jewish freight and it happened to be sealed up, they would break it open in the yard and then report it "in bad order." * 7 material* and machinery requisite. Nothing that will ever be built on either continent can take anything from the originality and splendor of the intellect that planned that marvel before yet itn two first bars of iron were interlaced. But the idea I have seen in some newspapers that we cannot equal that structure for our American exposition of 1892 is an absurdity as high as Eiffel tower. Our American architects anCJ engineers are as talented, our building materials as strong, our foundations as solid, our skies as lofty. Surely the lines of beauty are not all exhausted. I warrant you there are already a dozen American artists who have a tower more graceful than this, either in then- brain or actually put in diagram. Give our American genius a Chance for such a structure. The history of this Eiffel tower proves not only that the thing can be done, but that it will be financially remunerative. As sure as we live, we shall see in America, in 1892, a tower higher, stronger, more delicately graceful and with larger financial income. If the Eiffel tower is l,d00 feet high, we can have a tower 1,900 feet high; if that weighs 150,000,000 pounds, we can have one weighing 800,- 000,000 pounds; if 10,000 persons can stand in-it at one time, we can have 15,- 000 in ours. As America has the greatest cataract coming down, she might as well have the greatest tower going up," Louis Klopsch. He was silent for a time, and then his feelings found expression, at first in execration then in incoherent sentences, broken up with words of Dutch where the English tongue failed to give sufficient force to his anger and mortification. He assailed, me with every kind of invective, accused me of cowardice, of complicity in robbing him, of I know not what baseness and heartlessneas—indeed, it seemed as though the blow had deprived him of reason for a moment. At length, when his passion was somewhat exhausted, he said: Tippoo Tib, the great African slavo dealer, is getting tired of his wandering and dangerous existence and proposes to settle down as a solid citizen on his estate at Casingo, 800 miles above Stanley Falls, where he has built for himself a large and fine stono mansion. His son, however, will carry on his father's trade, in which he has already been quite successful, as on his last expedition he returned with forty tons of ivory, worth $350,000. The Philistines had picked on the Jews till patience ceased to be virtuous. Samson had been regarded as a sort of middle-weight champion, he had failed somehow to do what they had expected of him. He had talked a good deal down at the store about what he could do and how ho had run his hand down the hot and feverish throat of an irritated lion and turned him wrong side out so quickly that before he ooold recover from the surprise he had caught such ■ a cold in his exposed digestive economy that he died from his injuries. I stood up. He held out his hand and I gave him mine. "And what is your defence?" I took bis arm, and as I led him np the hill toward the cross-roads, I went over the story once more.

Three years ago he was an unknown chemist in Vienna. He offered his invention to the Austrian war office, but no investigation of his device was made. Discouraged by this refusal he went to Berlin and had an interview with the Emperor and Count Waldersee. His invention was thoroughly tested by experts, and the smokeless powder was pronounced a success. He sold his rights to the German Government for a large sum and is now living in luxury. I conld not go so far as to admit that his appearance realized my highest ideal of nobility, but I understood his allusion, and replied. « ' 'I believe you are an honest man, if that is what you mean, Brace."

I-heard two prominent men conversing with each other on Washington street, Boston, the other day, as to the relative demerits of Boston and Philadelphia. It was a good-natured fight, hut the language used, was quite plain. Finally the Philadelphia man said: "You Boston people are too oold for me. Especially the business men. I know a Baltimorean man who has been in business here for forty years, but he says he ia going back to Baltimore when his race is run, because ho hates to die among strangers." "Well," said the Boston man, "any one has a right to loeate his death-bed where he likes, but for living purposes Boston seems to please a great many people first rate.

They were very cordially received by Dr. Talmage, notwithstanding the lateness of the hour and the intense weariness of which he was obviously the subject. Our strange friend, who spoke English imperfectly, was intensely fervent in his utterance, and accompanied liis words witH eloquently corroborative glances flashing from a pair of keen, jet black eyes.

Tiie distillation of essential oils from various species of plants, such as lavender, thyme, fennel, rosemary, etc., is quite profitable in Southeastern France, The country is here very arid and sterile, and these humblest of plants arc, by industry and careful management, made to give prosperity to a large number of people. The Unitod States is the largest consumer of these oils, and in time they will doubtless be produced In our own oountry. The still required for distillation is simple and inexpensive. I am no stranger to the opinion held by some that Dr. Talmage lacks in physical gracefulness, nor do I claim for him the captivating: airs of the dancing master, when I say that he does know how to receive graciously, and to make even the most awkward and bashful visitor feel perfectly at liberty and at hopae in his presence. I could not fail to observe that bis quiet simplicity during the numerous interviews I have detailed contrasted much to his advantage with the grave dignity and reserve maintained by some other gentlemen who happened to be in the room at the time. Mrs. Talmage, who is a charming iaay ot an exceedingly amiable disposition, assists her husband on such occasions as I have described, thus contributing in no small degree to his social popularity. His wife, on the other hand, addressed the whole party. I see the dear woman before me as I write these words. She had so much to say and was so antaous that nothing should be left unsaid that she fairly choked in her efforts to make herself understood. Her English was awfully broken, and in her great anxiety to say all that was in her mind to say she just jammed her words together as if they were under hydraulic pressure, utterly ignoring all" rules of punctuation or pronunciation. Every half minute her memory or tongue failed her in her attempts to utter the suitable word in English, but she would promptly extricate herself by using the French equivalent, when she would sweetly smile, winking at the same time, as much as to say, "Do you catch on?" 44 'Why,' says the doctor, 'you are in fair health.

Among later callers, and one whom Dr. Talmage received in his own rooms, was a gentleman who urged him to deliver at least one address in Exeter hall before continuing his trip. In declining to do so, for reasons already stated, Dr. Talmage alluded to his previous visit in which he addressed a vast throng from the platform of that famed edifice. "I remember well," said he, "the last time I spoke at Exeter hall. The young Prince •Napoleon had been killed by the Zulus and funeral services were being conducted at Chislehurst.
