The career of the originator of the * Z >o,”
illustrates this. Mr. E.ltch waa a G r-
man emigrant who began hia life in this
country, or, so the atoi j goes, as a cook
In ( Ban Francisco restaurant. Some
money saved enabled him to become in
time the proprietor; but in an evil day
he failed, and, removing to Denver, be
gan again In an humble way. Bat his
excellent cookery waa appreciated, and
profiting by peat misfortune, hia new
ventures were made with prudence.
Bavingt well Invested in|real estate, soon
gambled him to “look np” among the city
restaurants. Two years ago his waa one
of the handsomest in the city, not to say
the most unique. A large plate glass
window revealed a “re cl try,” artistical
ly arranged about a mu iature artificial
lake, where swam fish s> u wild duck, as
if in promise of thegssir. nomic delights
within. Entering this realm of good
dinners, one saw a range surrounded by
white aproned and capped cooka armed
with the nte nails of their trade.
A “palace of truth” thia restaurant,
where yon aaw what yon ordered, and
c.nid see that it waa cooked by the beet
method. There was no odor of cooking
to disturb the faatldlous. ▲ projecting

At this time his prices were high, bat
everything was oi the best. Soon he
conceived the Idea of a “boo ’ on aome
land purchased beyond the city limits.
A collection of wild animate was made, a
theatre pnt up with refreshment rooms,
on artificial taka for small toata. and a
pond for wild fowl added. ▲ lodge gate
with a twenty-five cent admission fee is
the “open sesame” to all this. Passing
through, the eyes fall upon gay beds of
flowers, a band stand, wooden swings,
and two buildings, one n museum, the
other the theatre mentioned.
The museum, in addition to the ordina
ry menagerie attractions, boosts a new
bom baby lion sporting about lta great
lioness mother like n small oat. There
la ateo a water buffalo from Benares,
with a hide that resembles pale
pink plnab, n sacred ball from
India, and n dromedary with sin
gnlarly unbalanced look in the
weighty forequarters and humps like
two heavy meal bags. Of course, the
American fanna of the West, including
mountain lions, prairie wolves andcoy-
ottee, aa well as beavers and prairie dogs,
abound.
Tuls zoo, yet in its infancy, bids fair to
be a great financial success, if one may
prophesy from the daily crowd in atten
danet; for Denver, aside from Hstteatres,
two of which, the Tabor G. Mid New
Breadway, are very handtom i es few

enterprising city will not lo U lift be

When the D.-nver and Fo l Worth B.
r. brought ns to Colorado Springs we
didnotlockforso city like a health re
sort and were surprised to levra that this
was the third city or the state in papula
tion. Electric car lines, electric lights,
steam heat and all modern improvements
awaited us,snd all in the near shadow of
Pike’s Peak, that mountain so short a
time since the home of the wild mintr
and of mjh greecy gold fever memory.
Cheyenne Mountain, too, is opposite
my window as I write, ferevsr now dear

gifted H. H (HelenBnnt Jackson, whose

had learned to love this section of her

like her own aspiring soul.
He Knew His Rights.
“Say, yon let go of that?” shouted the
driver.
“Don’t you try to ran over me! ’ retort
ed the pedes train.
The conversation took place at a mud
dy crossing on Western avenue yester
daymorning between the rid-whiskered
driver of a delivery wagon and a raw-
boned man with a basket on his arm.
The latter, to avoid being run over, had,
seiz-:d the horse bv the bridle and stop
ped the animal riba sudd nnes that
nearly threw the diiver off his aest.
“Keep out o the way if yon don’t want
to get run over!” yelled the red-whig
kertd jehu.
“My friind,” answered the man on the
crossing, still holding the horse by the
bits, “don’t yon know that this crossing
belongs to the people of Chicago?”
“Yen let go of that horstl”
“Now be reasonable, my dear sir. This
crossing is merely a continuation of the
silewaik. It belongs to thepedestiians. I
have the right of way, and ■’’
“It you don’t let go of that I’ll ’’
“Hold on a moment. Don’t get excl

on this point. The courts have decided

“You let go of thst horse or I’ll br ak

“Taae the !” roaiec tne infuriated dri
ver, striking at him with his whip.
“OLce mere I ash you not to get excit

dodging the whip. “You will find by re

Whack!
The red-whiskered driver landed his
whip this time sq aroly on the argu
mentative cltiz -n.
“No~, — ill yi u let go o’ that horse?’ hi
fiercely uemanded.
“Certainly,” was tfcear swer. “If you
have no respect for precedents and wont
listen to the law In the case I shall have
to try some other kind of argument.”
The next instant the fiery hned driver
found himself jerked out of the wagon
•nd rolling over and over in the street.
Be was dragged through a mud paddle
on bis back, toned over and polled
through it again on his face, and when
he was permitted to get up. His most in

England's Prime Minister in a Fix.
Eugene Field is responsible for the state
ment that there has been lots of sport re
cently at the expense of the Marquis of
Salisbury. It seems that when the prime
minister and his wife returned from their
summer t ri p to the continent they brought
back with them two and a half gallons of
fine brandy and a large stock of choice
cigars. It would perhaps be unfair to say
that his lordship sought or hoped to evade
the vigilance of the customs officers. What
did happen, however, was that upon arriv
ing at Xewhaven Lord Salisbury contrived
to get his precious liquor and tobacco
far as the private coach that was in wait
ing for him. What betrayed him will per-
haps never be known. All at once two
signs eyed and Briarean handed officers
swooped down upon that vehicle and
•meted the brandy and cigars from the
wealth of lap robes and rugs which envel
oped them. Lord Salisbury did not at
tempt to protest; he cheerfully paid the
filO required for the passage of the goods.
Bat this was not sufficient; the coachmsn
was taken into custody and detained sev
eral hours for having been a partner to
what upon its face looked like a clear at
tempt at smuggling. Of course the prime
minister bud no difficulty in proving up
the honesty of his coachman and securing
his release, but as there is a superabund-
aace of red tape in Europe even the prime
minister found the process of exculpation
exceedingly tedious.

bowlder, anil containing the name, birth

What .Men Like in Women.
There is a certain something, which,
for want of a better name, is called wo
manliness, and it is that which makes
women attractive to men. A great many
virtues go to make np thia one great pos
session and they are what men like in
women.
Men like, in the first place, amiability
in women.
Thf y like a pleasant appearance.
They like the doing of little things that
are pleasant to thtm.
They like the courtesy of the fireside.
They like women whoso lives and faces
are ala ays full of the sunshine of a con
tented mind and a cheerful disposition.
They like a motherlineaa bigenongh to
understand the wants of the older as well
as the younger boys.
They like an ability to talk well and a
knowledge of the virtue or silence.
They like a disposition to speak good,
rather than evil of every human being.
They like sympathy—which meant a
willing ear for the tale of sorrow or g’ad-
noss.
They like knowledge of how to dress
Well, which, by-the-by, does not mean
conspicuously. Men are most attracted
by good materal, plain draperies and
quiet colore; cot by stony colors or de
signs.
They like Intelligence, bnt they prefer
that the heart should be stronger than
the brain.
They like a companion—a woman who
bas sufficient knowledge of the world
and lta way* to talk well with them, who
Is interested in tneir lives and their plans
end in their hope; who knows how togive
a cheering word, c r to listen quietly and
by a tender look express the grief which
the heart is feeling.

It is said the Big Four paid $050,000 in
gold for the Whitewater Valley road.
The Big Four is now in full possession of
the Cincinnati, Sandusky and Cleveland
and the Columbus, Springfield and Cincin
nati railroads.
During t lie month of October the Hous
ton and Texas Central shipped over its
lines to Houston 137,000 bales of cotton.
During the same month of 1833 110,000
bales were received.
A block system apparatus was recently
exhibited which automatically rings a bell
or blows a whistle in the cab of an engine
entering a block that is occupied by another
train. The noise continues until the train
leaves the block.
The fastest time yet recorded for a long
distance, made over a Texas road, was
made by the Houston and Texas Central
special from Austin. For 115 miles the
time was two hours and twenty minutes.
For fifty-one miles, one hour and ten min
utes.
There is a little less than COO miles of
main line in the Old Colony system of
roads, vet it was originally composed of
twenty-seven railroad companies, which,
from time to time, have been consolidated
into one. On this mileage 1,330 passenger
trains are handled every week day.
One of the new engines received by the
Cincinnati, Hamilton add Dayton recently
hauled a vestibule train a number of miles
at an average speed of a mile in fifty-seven
seconds, and one mile.it is stated officially,
was run in fifty-two seconds. It was ou a
level, straight piece of track where this
high speed was attained.
The dining cars run on the limited
trains of the Pennsylvania company be
tween New York and Chicago have reached
a paying basis. Ou the new lines it is ex
pected they will, in time, become so popu
lar as to pay, but they are uow run at a
loss. It is stated that but few dining car
liues are profitable to the companies.
FACTS ABOUT PLANTS.
A new albuminous poison of 100 times
the power of strychnine is extracted from
the seeds of Abrus precatoria.
Tomato leaves close regularly every
night as soon as the sun goes down. Some
begin as early as 4:30 to go to sleep.
Height produces modification, not only
in the shape of plants, but the leaves be
come thicker at great heighths, and their
faces often have a double layer of cellules.
Beggar’s lice and ticks have woolly claws
or sharp points that they may adhere to the
hair of animals, and so be carried and
dropped to where they may take root and
flourish.
The seeds of many plants, as the thistle,
are provided with feathery down, and other
apecimeus have winglike appendages, so
that they may lie scaled off or blown by the
winds to suitable ground.
A medicament more powerful than qui
nine in counteracting fevers is said to have
been discovered in Mexico. It is a plant
called the pompolano, the root of which
eontaius a substance analogous to quinine.
It has been stated that since the sunflow
er has been cultivated on certain swamps
of the Potomac malarial fever has decreas
ed. At tin- month of the Sheldt in Holland
it is stated that similar results hare been
ohserved.

ROBERT GRAVES ANALYZES THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The Change Will Be Unexampled—Some
thing About the Retiring and the In-
coming Members—Sad State of Some of
the Outgoing Veterans.
[Special Correspondence.!
Washington, Nov. 18.—One hundred and
fifty-six, or nearly one-half, of the mem
bers of the next house of representatives
are not members of the present house. A
few of the new members served one or more
terms in the past, but substantially every
other man in the next house will be a
greenhorn. Such a shaking np was never
before seen. The greatest number of new
men that ever came into the house to
gether was 135, bnt now this high water
mark is raised by at least two dozen names.
As usual, the greatest number of changes
is in the northern states. I have in these
tetters more than once pointed out that the
different tendencies of the two great sec
tions of the country in respect of keeping
men in congress term after term is giving
the south a great advantage in influence
and efficiency of service. For some reason
or other the people of the north are less
constant in their loyalty to individuals,
and are disposed to improve every oppor
tunity to get new hired men at Washington.
In many districts there is a sort of un
written law that a congressman shall have
but two terms before stepping down and
out, and often the man who has served
one term is very lucky to get the other one,
so eager is the rivalry and so impatient are
the rivals. The people of the south, as a
rale, take directly the contrary view. They
believe in keeping a man in Washington
as long as he does them good. Thus the
representatives from the south have op
portunity to develop and strengthen them
selves. Age and experience give prestige
in congress as well as anywhere else, and
it is in these essentials that the statesmen
from the south have signal advantage over
their brethren ty-om the north.
Take the result of the recent elections
for illustration. In the house the states
of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia have 108 members. Seventy-
seven of these are re-elected, and only 31,
or 2 out of 7, will be succeeded by new
men in the Fifty-second congress. Of the
E23 members hailing from the northern
and western states, including Maryland,
Delaware and West Virginia, 134, or 3
out of 5, have failed of re-election to the
next congress.
In the southern states the changes are
more numerous than nsual on account of
the appearance in politics of the Farmers'
Alliance movement. Notwithstanding the
effect of this new activity in the political
field the state of Alabama sends back to
congress all of her present representatives,
sight in number. It is the only state in
the Union having more than one repre
sentative which does do so. Arkansas
■ends but one new man, to take the place
•f Mr. Rogers, that master of satire and
of invective, who created so many stirring
scenes in the lumse last winter. Mr. Rog
ers voluntarily retired from public life,
desiring to do something for himself and
hia old age, and not to give all his energy
and years of fruitfulness to his country.
There are six new men from Georgia, the
largest number from any of the southern
States.
The man who will be most missed from
this delegation is Barnes, of Augusta—the
leviathan, good natured Barnes, whose
S50 pound liulk has been one of the land
marks of t lie Democratic side of the hall
for five years. His successor, Maj. Wat
son, is likely to lie the smallest man in the
next house, as bis weight is about ninety
pounds. Extremes will meet when Barnes
courteously hands his chair over to Wat
son. Kentucky sends but two new men,
one to succeed ex-Speaker Carlisle. Louisi-
makes but two changes, and Mis
sissippi t he same number. Iu Missouri five
new men appear; one of them retracing r+re
picturesque Mr. Niedingliaus, of St. Louis,
ho used to throw the house into convul
sions of laughter with his funny speeches,
■hich were intended to be serious. In
Missouri is a striking instance of the un
certainty of politics and of the breaks oi
fortune. This has become known as “the
fanners’ year” in politics, ami yet among
the slain in tiiis state is Farmer Wade
himself, one of the most able and zealous
of all the champions of agriculture. It is
a singular fact that in all the southeru
states not one of the leaders in congress,
not one of the men ot' great intuience, was
defeated. Mills, Crisp, Herbert, Oates,
Hemphill, McMiliin, Houk, Bioant, Hook-
tile two Breckinndges, McCreary,
Allen, Hutch, Island, Dockery, Heard,
Richardson, F.nloe, Culberson, Lee, O’Fer
mil, Cowles, Tucker—all are returned.
Not so in the north. Among the unfort
unate statesmen from this section are
many of th" strongest and brightest men
of the present bouse. Tiie greatest num
ber of changes is in New York, where
eighteen lm-n .if a delegation of tbirty-fou
fail of re-election. One of the new men—
Mr. Lockwood—has already seen congres
■ional service, so that exactly one-half of
the delegation iu the next congress will
have the l-opes to learn. Mr. Farquhar,
the printers’friend, and one of the many
practical printers iu the present congress,
Is perhaps the most noted of t’u< retiring
members. It is an odd fact that only one
of al! the members from New York—Mr.
Xetckam—is entitled to rank among the
veteraus of the house, and he has been
twenty-two years in congress.
Pennsylvania, with a delegation of twen
ty-eight men, sends fifteen new members.
Of those re-elected only two t . re seen ex
tended service—O’Neill and Hornier. The
former i- the father of the house, having
first entered congress in 1853, and missiug
but one term in all the quarter of a cent,
ury and more that has since elapsed Mr.
Hanner has been sixteen years iu congress
and is well up among the veterans. Of
the retiring members ex-Senator . -uckalew
and Thomas M. Bayne are the most note
worthy. Doubtless this is the end of Mr.
Buckalew’s political career, which lias been
one of most distinguished service. He was
prosecuting attorney of his county nearly
fifty years ag o; was elected to the state
senate: w.is United States treaty commis
sioner with Paraguay; was elected com
mission!-!- to revise the penal code of Penn
syl vania: was miuister to Ecuador; was
for the fourth time elected to the state
senate, and finally to the United States
senate, and was unsuccessful candidate for
governor, member of the constitutional
convention, and finally congressman for
six years. Mr. Buckalew is now 70 years
old. During the stormy sessions of last
winter ami summer he distinguished him
seif as the one Democrat who always voted
pea or nay when in his seat. Mr. Bayne is
still a young man, as statesmen gj, being
but a little* past 50, yet he has been in con
gress fourweu years. His personal con
troversy with Mr. Bynum last spring gave
rise to one of the most excit iug i ncideuta
of the session.
Another veteran of public service who
will now retire to private life is Gen. Na
thaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts. Gen.
Bankscamc to congress before Mr. O’Neill
did, but has not served as many terms.
Thirty-seven years ago, lacking only a few
days, Mr. Banks first took his oath as a
representative in congress. That was in
the thirty-third congress, of which A. H.
Colquitt, now senator from Georgia, and
Isham G. Harris, now senator from Ten-
were also members. The last
named had, indeed, already served two
terms, and he is therefore the member of
congress who dates farthest back. Next
to him are Banks and Colquitt, and after
them JustinS. Morrill and John Sherman.
In Massachusetts five members fail of re-
alection, including Greenbalge, the wit
and orator, who actually made fuu at his
own political funeral, and Rockwall, who
had become known to fame as the father
of seven bright children, “a girl for every
day in the week aud a boy for Sunday.”
The most noted of the new men from
Massachusetts—the one who will be most
eagerly watched—is Sherman Hoar, a
Democrat, against whom his uncle, Sen
ator Hoar, spoks and worked with all his
vigor. Yonng Hoar, bearing the name of
two United States senators and with tto
blood of a family of statesmen in his
veins, will, with Cabot Lodge, St. George
Tucker and John F. Andrew, form quite a
group of scions of great families in the
next house.
In California we find another veteran
taking off the harness. Gen. Vandever de
clined a renoraination to congress, con
cluding that he had had enough of public
service. Thirty-two years ago he was first
elected to congress from Iowa, bnt the war
breaking out he left his seat and William
B. Allison, now senator from Iowa, was
elected to the vacancy. This is what Sen
ator Allison refers to when he says, as he
sometimes does say, that he had military
experience; that be was Gen. Vundever’s
substitute—in congress. California also
appears to have the spirit of change, for of
her six members of the present house but
one is re-elected.
One of the most complete turnings over
seen in the north is in Ohio, where of
twenty-one statesmen in the present house
only six are re-elected. Here a number of
strong men are retired to private life,
among them the leader of the majority in
the present house, William McKinley, Jr.
Mr. McKinley is now completing his thir
teenth year of service in the house, having
been once unseated after serving half a
term. Ben Butterwortk, wit, philosopher
and orator, who declined a rciiomination;
Gen. Grosvenor, Judge Thompson, Judge
Seney, Capt. Morey and Gen. Kennedy,
famous for his anti-Quay speech of last
summer, are other well known Ohioans
who do not return to congress.
Michigan sends six new men, among
them “little Ford,” who was in the
last congress, and who contrived to make
a great reputation for himself with one
shrewd move, an investigation of the im
migration question. Two or three well
known men ure among those who disap
pear, at least temporarily, the most con
spicuous being Gen. Cutcheon, now chair
man of the committee on military affairs.
Illinois semis eight new men, greatly to
the surprise of all the political wiseacres.
Some of the most famous men in the dele
gation are left at home, among them Joe
Cannon, who is one of the veterans of the
house, having served nearly eighteen years,
and who lias slowly risen to a position of
leadership in his party; Mr. Payson, one
of the most popular and earnest men
in the house, who is serving his tenth
year; Capt. Rowell, chairman of the elec
tions committee, who is in his fourth term;
George Adams, of Chicago, who has also
been four times elected, and “Billy” Ma
son, who has lieen in congress long enough
to gain a national reputation as an orator.
Frank Lawler, the quaint Irish member,
about whom so many good stories are told,
declined a renomination for congress in
order to take the profitable office of sheriff,
and now, after a campaign which cost him
the last dollar he had in the world, he
finds himself defeated for sheriff.
Iowa semis seven new men in a delega
tion that numbers hut eleven, among the
defeated ones being ex-Governor Gear, a
member of the ways aud means commit
tee, who has spent a fortune in politics.
Among the many changes in Wisconsin is
one which brings a new and unknown
man to the seat hitherto occupied by “lit
tle Lafallet-te,” who some years ago wanted
to be an actor, but who was induced to
give up that ambition on account of his
slight figure. Mr. Lafallette was also a
member of the ways and means commit
tee, and one of the promising men of his
party.
Minnesota returns but one of her pres
ent representatives, Nebraska none at all,
and Kansas but one—stern and sterling
Farmer Funston.” Of the thirteen mem
bers from Indiana six fail of return to the
next house. .1 udge Holman is not one of
the luckless half dozen. It begins to look
as if this wiry, shrewd, alert old man had
found the fountain of perpetual youth.

All of these books were written many years

Chicago, Nov. 17.—Now it is the turn of
the states and territories—every one of
them—to put their best foot forward in the
direction of a creditable representation of
their interests at the World's Columbian
exposition. The local directory has fully
redeemed all the pledges npon which the
location of tlie enterprise was finally con
ceded to tlie Garden City. Its hands were
tied in a very large degree until the peoplo
of the city and state at the recent election
approved by their votes the proposition for
the issue of bonds to a total of $5,000,000
for the fair’s treasury.
Now that this large amount is within
sight, and an additional million and a half
actually in hand, tlie contract with the
government has been fulfilled to the letter;
contracts can be let without the fear that
there will la- no money with which to meet
the demands of contractors; the president
can issue his invitation to foreign govern
ments to participate, and tlie states can
proceed to get their organizing machinery

THE LITERARY WORLD.
An Old N’c
Cu
i>k—The Wonderful Sales of
•th’ Works.
[SjR'eial Corresjiondeiice. J
New York, Nov. IS.—One of the new
books of the fall is “El Furendeis,” by
Miss Maria S. Cummings. Really it is
not a new book, as it was written by Miss
Cummings t hirty years ago, was published
aud was forgotten. Within the past two
or three years, however, attention has been
called to tlie extraordinary achievement
of Miss Cummings, aud so much has been
said about it and lier that the publisher*
decided to bring out this book. With two
or three exceptions the story written by
Miss Cummings which is called “The
Lamp Lighter” lias been tlie most successful
American story ever written. With Coop
er’s “Spy,” and “Leather Stocking Tales,”
and Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “ Uncle Tom’s
Cabin," “The lamp Lighter” stands chief
among the tiooks by American authors
whose sides have been prodigious aud uever
ceasing.
Maria Cummings was a Salem, Mass.,
girl ami expected to make teaching her
life business. The literary impulse pos
sessed her, however, and she wrote short
sketches and stories early in the “fifties,”
which were well liked, but which gave no
evidence of tiie phenomenal success which
was iu store for her. In 1854 was published
“The Lamp Lighter.” It made an extraor
dinary hit. Over 40,000 copies were sold
within two months after the book was
published, aud it shared with “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin,” which had then been pub
lished only two or three years, the literary
excitement of the day.
It was a touching love story, and was
deeply iuspired with religious sentiment.
It did not deal with a great political theme,
u did “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and there
fore did not command the universal atten
tion or exercise the important political and
moral influence which Mrs. Stowe’s great
work did. But it was found in almost
ovary household in the nieth and east, lta
fame spread abroad and it was repnb-
Ifcfeed. The book has also stood the test
eftime. Although it is thirty-six year*
since it wns first published, it still has a
Steady sale and is to be found on the shelves
of any well kept book store. One of the
ablest publishers in New York city saya
that “The Lamp Lighter” is sure to be
kept in stock hereafter, just as are tto
English classics.
This is a greater success for the book
than was the pecuniary one. Books have
been published which have exceeded in
■ale that of “The Lamp Lighter,” although
this story Jias already sold about 160,003
titled to special credit and recognition upon
the roll of fame by inaugurating their
preparations in advance of the formal invi
tation of the national commission. Over
thirty legislatures will be in session be
tween now and February, and every one of
them can certainly lie depended npon to
manifest a liberality in*tue matter of ap
propriations that will enable its respective
commonwealth to make an exhibit repre
sentative in the highest degree.
As an indication of what is expected it. is
interesting to note that the Iowa legisla
ture has already appropriated a round
fifty thousand dollars for preliminary ex
penses alone, coupled with an intimation
that twice that sum would be forthcoming
for the exhibit proper when the body reas
sembles next year. The legislatures, how
ever, ought not to lie expected to bear t he
entire brunt of the financial obligation. In
every state tlie veil to do citizens, animat
ed by patriotism toward their country and
a public spiritedness toward their com
monwealth, should get together and sup
plement wliat is doue by their lawgivers
with public subscriptions. This is the
idea, at least, of the national commission,
and it will doubtless stimulate the states.
There seems to have been a revulsion of
feeUng with reference to the fair in con
tinental countries during the past few
weeks. The venom and hostility which a
few mouths ago characterized the utter
ances of many influential foreign journals
regarding the enterprise have given way
to a more generous sentiment, now that it
is seen that the United States is actually
in earnest aud proposes to make this eveut
tower far above its predecessors. Scores
of communications aud inquiries are com
ing in to headquarters from England,
France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Swit
zerland, Norway, Sweden and Mexico, and
in several of the leading art and musical
centers of Europe independent movements
have already been inaugurated looking to
the special representation of the tine arks.
Almost daily, moreover, the headquarters
is visited by some promiueut foreigner
from one country or another who is anx
ious to acquaint himself with what has
been done and what remains to be done.
One such visitor the other day was the
German art commissioner to the Mel
bourne exposition, and another was the
wife of a Mexican nobleman, who gen
erously offered to contribute as a loan ex
hibition the finest collection of Murillo’s
paintings that exists, together with a col
lection of bronzes and marbles that has
been in gradual accumulation ever since tiia
days of Cortez, the Spanish conqueror of
Mexico. With such evidences of sympathy
as these on every hand who can doubt but
that tlie presidential invitation to the
world will tie cordially received and just
aa cordially responded to?
