Tbo Cblcafro Tribune civea a akotch of tLo
travels of Dr. Alnioo Brooks, who has re
cently come back from London, Paris, Uenc,
Roni'i, and (lone va. Hpoaklns; of bis exie ri
ce CO in London The Tribune says:
He arrivoil in Lou. Ion, underground, and
took rooms at the Imperial, on Ho burn via
duct. Ho looked out from his window and
saw that London throng which, having seen
oneo no man can over forget so long an he is
alivo. He saw the church, of St. Uopulc-bro
kanJ by, ancient as the town. He found the
tomb of Capt. John Smith, which reminded
him of Pocahontas. He saw Newgate prison ;
went to tho house of parliament, and stood
la the old theatre where he was told Sliak
poare hail once played. Ho loitered about
the old hotels which he bad road of In the
Pickwick papers, was shown the troughs
from which tho stage horses were watui-od in
thoHO titnon long gone by, when stages wore
the only moans of locomotion, and ai-tuallr
stood iu the rooms where some of Dickens'
characters had ln placed.
Ho strolled along the strand, in Flxt stroot,
en Choapside, weut to Weatininstor, end out
upon Black Friar's road. He stood npon the
principal London bridgo at night, lighted
with electricity, and watched the countless
multitude on the promenade of the stone em
bankments, which he bays are wonderful in
their construction. Here bo saw the obelisk
erected by one of his own profousion. Dr.
Erasinus Wilson. Standing upon tliis bridge
bis thought winged their way back to Chi
cago, lie remembered tho bridges hero and
wondered bow long a man could stand upon
one of them without holding his nose. Oa
tko London bridge there was no oior from
tho swoop of tho Thames or any where around.
He began to think about sanitation. Ho
found that the river beneath him washed it
self out twice a day ; that the sewers did not
empty tht-ir tilth into the water which tho
Loudon piple drank; and he could roaU
iet thou what idiots ve are in Chicago, who
do just tho reverse.
He examined tho street pavements and
id-walks th're. Tho former were of granite,
put down with such solidity that even the
thunder of the great city failed to jar thorn.
There was no wood under foot anywhere to
rot and decay and poison tho atmosphere, as
here.
He noticed the people. Their eye were
bright, their stop elastic, their cheeks roseate,
their lijw red. Physically, morally, and
mentally they were in advance of any people
he h 1 known. They work later than we do,
but they sleep later. They havo no vicious
habits. They are orderly Sunday. A man
cannot find a restaurant or a saloon open in
London Sunday. He cannot buy a chew of
tobacco, hardly, on any day for that matter.
The people smoke less than Americans, and
as for drinking coffee anl tea, that was some
thing the musses never did, as with Ameri
cans. "People in Am Tica," he said, "can
get coffee and tea, no matter how poor tho
people may be, an 1 tliat is why thy drink uo
much of them. They use them for stimu
lants when nature demands rest, and vrh n
they fail they take to something stronger.
And added to these they have immoral ideas
suggested by immoral books and immoral
pk-tuxe? in the shop windows. I saw none of
these things in the shop windows and book
stores of Loudon."
Ho noticed that the people of London had
good meat to cat; that they lived on an
Island over which an ooe.in was ever blowing,
and that their buildings were ventilated.
They kept thoir windows open and let in tho
air. Their basements were dry. There were
no water closets and water pipes in their
bouses, and such a thing as sewer-gas was un
heard of. A man in a hotel washed his hands
and face in a basin or a bowl, and the water
and slops were carried out of tho building.
There was no such thing as earthenware pipes
for drainage.
"I want so say," be remarked, "that llio
abominable drainage in Chicago is a curso to
the people. Thjy pus in this earthenware
pipe; it is laid on the sand; the sand settles;
the pipe cracks; the gases escape an 1 cess
pools form under our floor. We inhale tho
odor of this filth, and then we woader why
we get pale in tho face, emaciated in tho
body, and narvous. Why, I never saw a
nervous man or woman in London. The
equality of temperature, of course, in Lon
don is conducive to good health. That we
canuot have, but wa can have the other
thinzs good house drainage and
plumbing. I never mat a man or
woman in Lonion who couldn't sleep well.
In Chicago I never find one who
can. In London they take rest when the
brain demands it. In Chicago we never
take any. In London they drink stock ales,
and sometimes, of course, something stronger.
In Chicago we drink everything. In Lon
don they stop their business and take com
fort. Ws never stop. Our growth is too
rapid. In London they have grown gradu
ally. They are ned to metropolitan ways,
and know how to take them. We do not.
Did you ever notice how healthy tho Jew
was? He is used to city life. He has grown
up with it. He is a metropolitan. So is the
London man."
The last week he was in London he stoppod
at the Royal hotel. One Sunday morning he
woke, and raising his window he heard
something that was strangely beautiful. It
was the ringing of the church bells. He lis
tened, and their sounds blended and nndu
lated. The harmony was not broken. It
reenied as if it would never cease, and he
seemed C5 if he could livo in it forever. "I
realized," he said, "how innumerable they
were ' How tbey were all in tune at once.
and such strange feelings I never experienced
before as I realized that there I was in their
midst, in the city which was historieal, on
ground which the Romans invaded."
He went to Windsor and through the cas
tle, and no ono seemed to intercept him as be
andered about tho borne of royalty. The
doors were open and so were the gates, and
he was never asked for a shilling by any
guide. He stood by the tomb of the poet
Gray, and looking ont he was shown the
ivy mantled tower," from which the "mop
ing owl to the moon corn plained," the very
same which, it is said, suggested the though
to the poet in his "Elegy."
In the chapel of St George he saw thi
statue of the prince imperial, the memorial
erected by Queen Victoria. He was struck
with one thing about the English people, they
were as eager curiosity seekers as we. They
haunted the old places, tue churches, the
places where abbotts are asleep, the ancient
walls and towers, the same as Americans,
and it was kept up every day. "Then I no
longer wondered," said the returned Escu
lapius, "why English people loved their
country so ardently. These relic, these
snouoments Westminister Abbe; with its
ton? hs -all tbesa make impressions on their
minos and ci eate national respect." He fa
vored monuments in America as a means of
Jura ting people to a love country.

Arkansaw Traveler.
A well known engineer, while engaged in
the survey of a railroad Use through a wild
and sparsely Inhabited part of Arkansas, left
the camp one day to make, as be termed it, a
social call on the natives, Be suddenly ran
npon a small "clearing" near the centre of
which stood an unpretentious habitation of
"daub" and log. A raw-boned man emerged
fro-n a patch of yellow b laded corn and ex
claimed: "Hell. tharl"
"Good morning." said tho engineer, ad-

Tho two men "pranced" around cacti other
for ' a fw moment, and began pugilistic

realized altar the ensraGrement opened was a
sudden jar, a giddiness about the bead and
fall without having mace any especial selec

feet, but as quickly went down again.
"Hoi" on." he said. "Am t thar souie mis

The Other Hide of tho Shield.
New York Tribune.
Tho system of news collection becomes
more complete every year, and the field is
swept more thoroughly each time than the
timo before. Tho wheat and chaff come in
together, and it is the province of tho clean
newspaper to see that as little of the latter is
used as Kssible. Probably the average
reader would be surprised if he cuuld see the
quantity of news that is thrown aside each
tlay because it is not of a kind that ought to
come before the eyes of his girls and boys.
At tho same timo, the papers must print the
news. I iso widespread publication ot a mur
der arouses a whole community, and often
brings l,WK) eyes and ears to the help of jus
tice. Then, too, there is a natural and par
donable curiosity with regard to some sensa
tional occurrences that must be satisfied.
When men hear of a friend's death, they are
eager to know the details of bis sickness, or
the accident that befell him, or if he has gone
astray, to understand how and why. This is
a human instinct, to which few of us are su
perior. It is tho delicate duty of tho news
paper to satisfy it without going so far as to
make Its news demoralizing.
If the extreme publicity of tho present day
is an evil and there are times when it seems
so what shall bo said of tho love of no
toriety? This is the other side of the shield.
The newspapers are accused of prying into
the affairs of the home, filling their columns
full of offensive personalities, etc., and some
of them are not without sin in the matter.
But do the public ever think of the striving
and labor on the part of a largo class in the
community to get themselves into the news
papers yes, and even their home affairs?
This hunger for notoriety is seen in all
classes rich and poor, learned and ignorant,
business men, professional men, writers,
oldiors and poets. This tendency, too, has
to be held in check. If the growth of the
newspaper has developed tho vice of public
ity, it has it has itself licen developed and im
pelled by a kindred vice the love of pub
licity. Brother liardurr'w Advic4.

Hade a Kleptomaniac by a Ball.
Gov. Blackburn, of Kentucky, tells of a
young man who was wounded in the head
by a pistol balL ' Af t;r he had apparently re
covered he robbed a store of a lot of stuff
that was of no value to him, loaded it into
a wagon and hauled it into the woods, where
he concealed the whole property. He was
sent to the penitentiary. He served his time
out, and going home, broke into the same
store, taking the same class of goods, which
he loaded into the buggy he had run off with
before, and concealed the things in
the place ho had selected on tho
occasion of his first offense. Once more
he was sent to the penitentiary, and had
nearly completed his second term, when the
prison doctor gave it as his opinion that the
bullet which had struck the yoxii-g man's
head indented the skull sufficiently to press
on the brain, and that this was the reason
that he committed the burglaries. So the
prisoner was sent home. He lost no time in
loading up the old buggy again, precisely as
before, and was returned to the penitentiary.
"I then said that I was going to trepan that
fellow's head if it killed him," says the gov
ernor, wbo is aphysician, "and did it success
fully. Then I pardoned the young man. He
behaved himself like a perfect gentleman,
sir, and never made the slightest attempt to
teal even a pin."

The Wonders or Whiskers TheJlul
to -Chop, the Dove-Tall, the Artist,
and the Invisible Inde.
In conversation with the "prince of bar
bers" it was learned that more money has
been spent in the two years past in the effort
to create novelties m whiskers, moustachios,
sroatee8 and imperials than would bo necos
ary to pay tho running expenses of the city
"Give me a few of the names of whisker
fashions, please?"
"Well, let mo see. There are so many I
scarce know where to . begin. Peabody, the
'English mutton-chop,' is tho most coiiunon
among gentlemen af fashion. They are so cut
as to give a clear view of the chin, and are
worn not only by the English and persons
who have spent some timo in England, but
by those who have very fat and florid faces.
Thoy give a man an air of respectability,
Then there is the 'dove-tail' whisker, so called
because of its expansion at the end. The hair
is cut close to the sides of the face, but its
growth below the chin is encouraged. This
stylo is worn a great deal by cashiers and
bank presidents, and is supposed to indicate
the possession of wealth.
"Then there is the 'JTcCauley' whisker.
named and worn in honor of the Scotch mil
lionaire. It is worn long and is parted in tho
centre, giving to tho wearer the appearanco
of nobility. When cultivated to its highest
perfection it is exceedingly becoming, and
never fails to attract attention in a hWh
wind. It is only patronized by those having
ight hair and soft blue eye, and possesses a
peculiar charm for the ladies.
"The 'Alexis' whisker is very peculiar, too.
It is common to Fifth avenue and West Four
teenth street. Its peculiarity is an inward
curl at tho end. To give full effect to this
style low-neck shirts are indipensable.
"The 'artist' whiskers i3 noted for its irreg
ularity, poetically suggestive of mental pre
occupation. It is cultivated carefully to rep-
sent the most abandoned carelessness such
as might be expected in persons of artistic
taste.
"The 'Bengal' whisker is a ferocious-look
ing appendage. It is long and shaggy, the
sort of whisker that a man finds ic diilicult to
keep out of his soup. It is most frequently
encountered in beer saloons, and it is gener
ally worn by gentlemen who entertain ad
vanced notions of political economy.
"The 'horsey' whisker is a little close-
cropped affair, high up on the jaw near the
ear. It is closely allied to tho 'County An
trim' whisker, which is like a little frill un
der the ear. Both are often bright red.
Writh the 'Dude' whisker you are, of coure,
familiar. There is very little of it, and the
early evidences of its growth are very pain
ful to witness, especially to barbers."
'Got any morel"
"Oh, yes. I musn't leave out the 'crank'
whisker. The crank insists on having his
whisker combed the reverse way, until you
can't tell where tho whisker ends and tho hair
jegins. As a rule, this style is followed by
inventors and persons of deed musical knowl-

oa.rrserfSHivr Mexico.
Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal.
The country along the line of the Mexican
Central railroad in the United States would
be called a wilderness. For 130 miles it doos
not run through a field or a cultivated spot,
notwithstanding it is a magnificent country
I mean so far as the fertility of tbs land is
concerned. It only, needs American enter
prise and industry to make it the most pro
ductive country on earth, but without for
eign energy it will remain as it fa until the
end of time. The Mexicans have advanced
less in the arts and sciences than any other
nation. They use a plow of the same pattern
that old father Abraham used, and the worst
of it is, they do not want a better, neither
would they use it if they had it.- Their gen
eral want of progressive ideas and stupidity
is a great drawback to the railroad enter
prises of the country. It is the only labor
that can be had, so wo have to make the best
of it. It looks v(?ry ridiculous to
see them packing on their backs wheelbar
rows filled with dirt, or to see them thrown
aside, and the men carrying dirt in their
aprons. They have no more idea how to use
a shovel or spade than a hog has. Tbey will,
in the most awkward manner imaginable,
get a handful of dirt on the. shovel and walk
n step or two to the place they wish to put it
and hold the shovel with one hand while
they rake the dirt off with the other. Neither
are the better classes very much further ad
vanced in general knowledge. For an illus
tration, some time "ago several contractors
came here from 'Texas, and brought their
outtit, among which were a lot of cooking
stoves and a very large cooking range. They
were required to pay 40 duty on each stove,
but when tbey ennip to the range tbey passed
it free of duty, supposing it to be a steam en
gine. Tbat is one wise thing the government
does allow steam engines enter duty free.
An tnsenioas Wife.
Re w York Graphic.
A young man in this city has a new wife.
His business frequently keeps him out late at
night. The new wife is nervous when he is
away, and afraid of burglars, i- t she very
properly objects to his carrying a latch-key
because, as she explains, " if you should loe
it, love, and a burglar should find it, he miht
come right in without using one of those
awful 'jimmy' things that tho papers tell
about." The young man did not even attempt
to explain to her that there are some burglars,
new to the business, who, if they were to find
an ordinary latch-key on South Water street
or at the Monmouth race track, might not
know that it fitted a door in West Twenty
Pcond street. The honeymoon still has sev
eral weeks to run. In lieu of a latch-key sbo
herself suggested the other evening at dinner,
us be was to be out particularly late that
night, that instead of sitting up for him she
would place the key under, the door mat
When he got home at 2 a. rn. he saw by the
light of the street lamp a pifce of white paper
pinned over the keyhole. Ho fctruck a match
and read:
Deahest: The key is under the mat, where
I said I would leave it, but I was afraid you
might forget. Your own Julia.
