of that city, during which timo ho contrili-
uted to The Daily Xt-wn those famous letters
retting forth theesiK'rieuces of the "Bosicjrod
Kesident."
It is understood that Mr. Labouehere hoi. Is
a controlling interest in this paper, which is
thr leading Liberal organ, but of courso ho it
more widely known ::s tho inn who niado
Truth, that famous periixlical which initiated
personal journah'sm and put the great "I' in
phu-o of the editorial "wo." Mr. Labouehere
is in parliament for Northampton, having
, lor his colleague llradlaugh, the atheist. Mr.
Lubotiehere has given mid taken plenty of
hard hitting in his time, lie is radical in tho
extreme, and yet for ull ho is ono of tho
, I'rinre of Wales' set. that coterie of iroixl fel-
I lows w ho serve to amuse tho fat man who

mm a grotto or tunnel decked with some

TEN PICTURE OF "LARDY."
I sent my card up in the afternoon, but
Mr. Labouehere was out, so my punt was
moored in front of his water wall until a
trim maid notified mo th:t her master was at
home und at leisure. Then I landed ut the
boat house, eliaibei I some old wooden steps,
f.t the? top of which I was groeV'l by a big
biack retriever und a pretty little child, who
directed me up uivers terraces to whero Mr,
Iabouchere awaited me on tho galles-y.
This veranda is very pretty; it is about 4
by 10 feel, completely arched in by foliage,
wnne mrougu inrce targe logic ot alcoves
you liok over tho river and tho low country
on the other side. Three or four wicker
i.iirs and footstools lav "found. In ono of
these sat a somewhat undersized man with
cropped beard just lie-iimiiig to grizzle. 1I
was dressed in a rough suit of tweed, und the
disposition of a plain gold chain showed that
he carried his watch in an outside pocket,
lie was pulling a cigarette held, in a plain
wooden holder, worth perhaps four cents,
and it may be interesting for some to know
that he wore a pair of elastic side boots very
mucu uie worse lor wear, lie is a quiet
looking httlo man, with a come-what-wi 11-1-um-content
air about him, a freedom of
thought ami language very uncommon ia the
Oid World, and v. ithal ono could perceive
under the quiet o;u' of his maimer the spirit
oi one who could hold fast und hit hard.
Most men have their counterpart in tho ani
mal world, and Henry Luboueh.-ro strikingly
remimis me of a chunky, well bred fox t -r-rier
that iooks too laay for uirythiag as l.e
lies in the sun, but can show lots of chara.-itr
whenever any of his natural foes chance in

the head that Vaict or itaby Miser show

We cot chatting about one thing and an
other until t!ie statrsl objects of our interview
v. -ere touched upon. Mr. Labouehere was of
opinion that a civil servant should be allowed
aii fair political rights, provided the exercise
thereof did not interfere with the discharge
t.i hii ol'.iciul duties, but where or how to
thu'.v the line, he declared, was a dillicult
matter. "In theory with us every civil ser
vant ii free to ac t as he chooses,'1 said he, and
then, with exquisite simplicity, added: "But
somehow or other if a man works hard for
his party and doesn't win hcdoesn't get ou

JOUr-VALIS:.! IN GE!'EP.AL.
We got talking about journalism ia gen
eral, lie said:
"Tho one great difficulty of, the daily
pnpers in Loudon is tho absence of any sys
tem of distribution outside that of the tJmith
monopoly. So long as .Sunday is strictly ob
served there wiil be no Sunday edition of the
great dailies, because they could not get rid
of them when they were printed."
I touched on signed journalism when a
j mp.n gets tho credit of his work, and Mr. La
j b ruche-re, as a newspaper proprietor, said ho
didn't want to make a man and then have
J that man own his maker.
j Ho further said: "The run of journalists in
London Lave a pretty hard time; there are so
j many amateurs of good education and half
; leisure who arc willing to do special work
; end articles for tho mere pleasure, of seeing
: their copy ia type, while on the of her hand
; there is an eminent superabundance of tho
ordinary reporter, who, by tho way, is a very
: interior animal to his American comrade."
j He told me how Truth had bean a success
. and paid from tho first number. Henry La
bouehere, Esq., was pretty well known among
tho literary fraternity before it was pub
1 lished. and when it was announced that he,
! who stood somewhere between Cob Ingersoll,
Dave Hill and Tom Ochiltree, intended not
: to tell lies any more, there was a unanimous
and tremendous howl of derision over the
length and breadth of the land. So they iuado
jokes about him and his truthful organ, all
of which duly advertised tho paper, so that
folks bought it out of- curiosity, and for a
long time decent Philistines studied its pages,
but only behind locked doors. Even today
there are plenty r f Pharisees and Sadducees

Mr. Labouehere is pretty much cf a law to
himself. As such he has managed to make a
good deal of moving in the ways of the
world; he has mended many small mischiefs

Grief Too Great for Utterance.
rrofestor Clayton tells of a thrilling ex
perience. At Unby City, while looking over
a claim to determine tho most favorablo
place to prospect for a blind ledge, an exten
sion of a valuable mine, he accidentally, in
mankiug the ground, dug up some good ore
nnd exposed the ledge. The locators, who
had recently sold it for an iusignitic-ar-t sum,
were with him. One of them indulged iir r.
great deal of profanity, cursing his luck for
Laving trilled awaj- a fortune. Tur ;ing to
Lis partner, who was less demonstrative, ho
inquired: "Why don't 3-ou kickf "Don't
talk to me, I'm hurt so bad I can't kick. I'm

Some 5'ears ago, during an extended yacht
ing cruise among tho islands of the Pacific,
we ran into Honolulu, u.s wo felt deeply in
terested in the people of Hawaii from thr
nattering rejKirts of tiio missionaries. Wo
received a warm welcome from prominent
!eople to whom we had carried letters front
friends. This was during tlie reign of Ilauie
liameha III. The jieopic wen- nmro simple in
their habitii than now, and they were not do
moralized as now by the Chinese element.
The woini in their float tug garments, now
calli.il Mother Iliibbards, with wreaths of
natural flowers bound round - their head::,
were pietm csquo objects as they dashed iu-st,
sitting man fashion on their horses.
T!rs. Judd, the wife of the prime minister,
t').k mo to many of their houses and we were
always wclroni' : d in a graceful manner. A
day or two utter our nrrivr.i, Mrs. Judd told
me that she had arranged to present mo in
formally to the queen that uftcriioon.
Nothing could excel tin1 beauty of tin? scene
as wo walked from I)r. Jud.i's house to tlie
royal residence. The sun was just sinking
afar off into the Pacific and tho hills wcro
nil aglow with his slanting rays. Vegetation
was 1111 Kit lu.xurient. In ono place wo passed
a hedge of egg plant. The fruit hung in
enormous masses and in all colors from deep
purple to ovt-rripo golden. Arrived at the
mansion th.e queen und the Princess Victoria
met us on tho gallery, which ran quite
around the building. They greeted Mrs.
Judd familiarly and kindly, und gave me a
cordial welcome. 1 was soon sealed beido
tlie dusky queen. My husband had gone
with Dr. Judd to make the acquaintance of
tho kiEg.
I found her majesty shy, and glad to shel
ter herself under the protection of Mrs. Judd.
She was a short, stout woman; very dark,
with heavy features. She had lern a woman
of tho people, mid for that reason Iter chil
dren, of whom she had several, were not eli
gible to the suecossieni. lier marriage to the
king, my friend told me, had U-en purely a
love match, and that they were still an un
usually uevote-d couple. I found conversa
tion with the princess much easier than with
tiie queen, for youth is sympathetic, and
we were both young, bandy out of our
teens. She to was very (lark, with pleasant
manners and rather a pensive air. She was
very curious about that far oif world which
she knew of only ly hearsay. We were soon
joined by the Prince Alexander, nephew of
the king und heir apparent to the throiiu, ami
a young American naval ofMccr who h.d
been dining with tho tirinee.
Our conversation ran 011 charmingly, for
getful of e-olor or caste". An hour had passed
all too quickly. We had forgotten our ciders,
when Mrs. Judd invited me into the hou:j ti.
see some oojeits 01 interest, emlv two ot
which, however, have kept a distinct place in
uiv memory the lull length irfrait oi
Louis Philippe and I tie leathered cloak ol
the Ivamekumeha. The portrait had been
presented to a former ivamehnnicha by the
king of Prance. The portrait held a place of
honor in a drawing room ojieiiing to the
right from a wide hall, und the cloak had
be--n brought from its repository and placed
in the tjmten's bedroojn for my iusjic-ction.
This room we also entered from t he hall. To
the left of tlie door aud quite in a corner of
the room stood a high jost liedstead, and on
tho bed lay the object of a nation's venera
tion, th'j war cloak of tho Xaniehamchas.
One of the gentlemen lifted tho cloak from
tho lx'd and brought it toward a lamp in the
tvnter of the room, tho better to exainino its
curious workmanship and extraordinary
beauty. Holding a corner of it in my hand
I heard scraps of its history from the various
mouths. "The work all done by royal
fingers." "Only two of thcto feathers ia a
bird." "The race of birds couiplete-ly exter
minated." "The only one like it ever made,"
etc., etc.
As we stood thus expressing our admira
tion, tho naval oflicer took the cloak from
the hands of the prince and threw it over my
shoulders, saying as he did so, "that is the
costliest garment that ever a lady wo if." I
felt instinctively that he hadtlone an "im
proper thing, tiiat he had treated lightly and
irreverently an object of idolatrous respect.
Showing by my maimer that I disapproved
of the act, 1 turned te tho prince to remove
it, which he did in a very graceful way.
However, the royal mantle lay on my
shoulders, tho most expensive one certainly
that any human being ever wore. It is a
compete semicircle, and fell in ample folds
about the bottom of my dre ss, and I am tall,
hke Rosalind, "more than common tall." It
is mado ou a foundation of nettvork woven
of the fiber of a tree. The feathers are
sowed in with a twine mode of the same ma
terial. It is soft and even as plush, of a
beautiful golden orange, shading to silver
gray. The feathers were taken from the Oo.
But two feathers are used from each bird.
It is said to have been generations in mak
ing, and feathers and work costing over
$1,000,000. The feathers were paid for in
pieces of nankeen, four feathers for a piece
valued at $1.50. As the feathers are not
over two inches long, some idea may be
formed of the number required for a gar
ment of this size. When Kalakaua was
crowned in 1SS3 he wore this robe for his
coronation, making the ninth king who has
been so adorned. "Moodim," in New York

Curious Album of I'hotos.
A local photographer, who does a fashion
able trade, has a curiou3 album of photos.
They are of women s hands, and every hand
is distinguished by ono ring. Some years
ago, he tells me, a young society woman who
bud very pretty hands experienced tho fancy
to have the one on which fier sweetheart hud
recently put an engagement ring pictured.
Tho fashion being thus se t is, he says, still
kept r.p. Not all ofihe hands are Le-autiful
nts by any means. In fact really pre-tty
hand 5 are in the minority. There is a pre
ponderance cf fat palms and stubbj' lingers
that doca not npeak well for the manual re
finement of our best siviety. But even the
best kept hands, unless they are symmetrical
in proportion, are liable to look clumsy in a
photograph. The variety of rings on this
collection of pictures is a credit to our jewel
ers, indeed ytu can trace me iasmons in
1 ings for several years by them. ''If I had"
the value of thoe rings," said th? photogra
pher, meditatively, "I think I could. -spend a
year in Europe and not have to swim home."
