D.in doQulllo , onoof a number of famous
newspapermen who made Nevada famous In
the Hush days , glvcs'tho ' Callfornlan recollec
tions of Mark Twain. According to Dan ,
Mark Twain was fond of manufacturing-
Items of the horrible style , but on ono occa
sion ho overdid this business , and the dis
ease worked its own cure. Ho wrote nn
account of a terrible murder , supposed to behave
have occurred at "Dutch Nick' * , " n station
on the Carson river , where Empire City now
stands. Ho made a man cut his wife's throat
nnd these of his nlno children ) nf tor which
diabolical deed the murderer mounted his
horse , cut his own throat frdm car to car ,
rode to Carson City ( a distance of thrco nnd
n half miles ) and fell dead In front of Pete
Hopkins' saloon ,
, All the California papers copied the Item ,
nnd several made editorial comment upon it
n.s being the most shocking occurrence of the
hind over known on the Pacific coast. Of
course , rival Virginia City papers nt once
denounced the Item ns n "cruel nnd idiotic
hoax. " They showed how the publication of
such "shocking and reckless falsehoods" dis
graced and Injured the state , nnd they made
it ns ' 'sultry" as possible for the Enterprise
nnd its "fool reporter , " When the Cali
fornia papers saw all this and found they
had been sold , thcro was a howl from SIsKl-
you to San Diego. When Mark wrote the
item ho road It over to me , nnd I asked him
how ho was iioing to wind It up so ns to
muko It p'latn that It was a moro invention.
"Oh , it is wound up noxv , " was the reply.
"It is all plain enough. I have said that the
family HVcd In a little cabin nt the cdgo of
the great plno forest near Dutch Nick's ,
when every body kriowa there's not a pine
tree within ten miles of Nick's. Then I
make the man rldo nearly four milrs after
ho has cut his throat from car to car , when
any fool must see that ho would fall dead in
a moment. "
But the pcoplo were all so shockod'nt first
with the wi.olcsnlo throat cutting that they
did not stop to think of these points. Mark's
whole object in writing the story was to
make the murderer go to Pete Hopkins' sa
loon and fall dead In front of it Petohavlni ?
in some was offended him. I uould never
quite sco how this was to hurt Pete Honkins.
Mark probably meant to insinuate that the
murderer had been rendered Insane by the
kind of liquor sold over the Hopkins' bar , or
that ho was ono of Pete's bosom friends.
Today not a man in a huii'lrcd in Nevada
can remember anything written by Mark
Twain while ho was connected with the En
terprise , except this , one Item in regard to
the shocking murder at Dutch Nick's ; all
else Is forgotten , oven by his oldest and most
intimate friends.
A Thrilling : ( experience nt Scit.
The creat four-masted American sailing
ship , Sheimhdoah , while coining homo from
lilverpool last March , had a lively experi
ence with waterspouts. When within GOO
miles of bandy Hook , savs St. Nicholas , the
wind suddenly changed , a great bank of
clouds just ahead parted , and there , comlm ;
down , driven before the gale , appeared six
great wntoispouts at ono lime.
Ono rushed by , Just clearing the bowsprit
and head-sails by a few yards. Another
came at her amidships , threatening to.carry
tlio main must away , and the captain Just
avoided by quickly turning the ship toward
' uid ) around it. There were two more near
ones , nnd us they were too close to run
away from , the big ship was "luffed11 up and
Bleared rlzht between them. The 'ahlp vns
saved , but what her fate would hav'o boon
had she bcou.s.truck by ono can only bo im-
nglnod from the captain's description of the
watcnqwut that passed us torn. Ho .says it
soelnod td bo fully twenty feet fn"diameter ,
and of solid water reaching to the clouds.
Durlug the same mouth the steamer
Pquu { hud n still more uncomfortable ox-
pqrlonco with these wandering giants of the
ocean , near the Bermuda islands. There she

hung a great number of spouts all dancing"
and plrouotting hero and there ; twisting and
turning and balancing to partners us if en
gaged in nn elephantine quadrille.
The captain became bewildered , for
whichever way ho turned his steamer , ho
was headed elf by the surrounding water
spouts. At lust , Just ns ho imagined ho had
steamed safely away , two of them made n
rush , headed him elf , nnd struck the star
board sldu of tlio steamer's Iron bow
a tremendous blow. Then thcrowas
n commotion Indeed. > The broken
columns of water dropped In tons on the for
ward dock , smashing the pilot house and
brldgo ladder , tearing down thirteen ventila
tors and dashing to the deck two sailors
badly wounded. The ship staggered and
rolled as the weight of water poured over
her sides in a Niagara of foam and spray
nntt for some tlmo she could make no head
way.
iWhllo the two spouts were having their
frolic with the sorely beset steamer , the
others were whirling about as if dancing In
glee at the commotion they Imd caused.
From the black clouds above there shot
down blinding streaks ot lightning , which ,
although they missed thn ship , so filled .the
air about. I'ler w ith electricity that it settled
upon the metal tips of nil the spursr glowing
and sparkling there steadily with the beau
tlflil light known .is "St. Elmo's fire. "
A Cuili Upon the Urowth < > ( Cities.
The great troublowlth American municipal
government , writes Bnrr Fcrrc-o In the En
gineering Magazine , Is the lack of homogene
ity In the growth of great cities. Each city
htnrta out Independently and on a better plan
than any other , and yet with very llttlo
thought of profiting by the experiences of
older ones. American politicians mo apt to
plume thuinsolvchon the advances they Imvo
made In their own departments , and some
oven go so far as to point with prldo to the
growth of their particular city. Yet Svlth
all our boasted progress thn fact remains that
the best governed cities , the jiiost
ably developed and thoroughly broad
ened municipalities nro the old cities
of the now world , In which the necessity for
new growth und complete chungo from the
old have 'been 50 wholly recognized ns to
compel the Introduction of a new order of af
fairs. Nothing of the sort Is to bo scon > in
oven the most active communities In America ,
Now York cannot nnnox other districts because -
cause lof.il politicians interpose objections
which have no foundation save tholr own
selfishness , Boston Is hemmed in with so-
culled rival municipalities tlmt hug their
civil privileges nnd Imagined independence
with absurd pretentious of might nnd power.
Philadelphia has , In truth , added vastly to
her _ territory nnd stands qulto distinct
nmong seaboard cities in this respect , but
slii > is wanting In the , motropoiran spirit
and capability of development which ulonu
would make this Increase of territory valu
able. In the west a different fooling may bo
noted , nnd this , as well us their moro rapid
rate of Insrouso , tends to make our western
titles moro prosperous , as well as moro mod
ern , than our eastern.

fourth nf July Colnhrntlon * .
The fact that our heroes foueht for freedom -
dom against almost hopeless odds should be
brought to mind , and their names should bo
hallowed In uerpotual remembrance , writes
Julln Ward Howe in the Forum. But. if wo
would crown tholr conquest , wo must glvo
moro attention to the good for which they
died thrtn to the mere circumstance of tholr
death. The ordinary procedure of mankind
Is qulto the opposite of this. They are proud
of iho military success , cureless of the civic
and ethical gain. Even the Christian church
accentuates too much the death of Its
founder , Is too llttlo concerned with the
truth for which ho really gave his llfo. A
Lent of prayer nnd fasting , with dramatic
'repetition of the betrayal and crucifixion' ot
the Blessed One , may merely bring with It
suggestions of devotion nhd gratitude. But
far moro important would bo rt Lent of study
of the deep meaning of His words and works.
It makes ono sick at heart to think of the
formal rehearsal of great events by these
who have tie understanding of their true
significance , nnd can therefore claim but n
small part In tholr real benefit.
i\lls or Chinese Coinii'tltlon.
It Is the duty of this government , Thomas
J. Geary , author of the Chinese law , assorts
In the California ! ! , to protect American
labor against unjust and degrading competi
tion , no matter whence it comes or what Us
form ; and the labor that will bv
its iiresonco lower the standard
of labor that has heretofore pre
vailed In this country , and whoso main
tenance is demanded by thobest _ Interests of
the land , should not bo permitted entrance ,
no matter from what country it comes. On
the Pac Iflc const-wo have experienced the
evils of Chinese competition , and demand
that the bars bo put up on the Pacific so
thnt no moro of these people shall enter ,
and wo are ready to unite with the people
on the Atlantic to protect them from
similar evils.affecting them. Wo do not
confine our objections to the Mongolian rnco
nlono , but bollovo that nil other classes or
races threatening similar consequences
should bo treated likewise.
The Chinese law of May 5 was Justified by
the circumstances prevailing In this country ;
was In accordance with the treaties made
between this government nnd China ; im
posed no undue or unjust hardship upon the
Chinese people hero , nnd was a proper and
Just oxcrclsu of power on the part of this
country.
American interests In the far west , the
maintenance -American civilization and
the Just protection of American labor from
Chinese competition , is of moro consequence
than the profits of the Chinese trade , or the
maintenance of missionary stations in China.
The law should bo enforced. Wo cannot
afford to have the declaration nmdo ttiat
this government cannot enforce Its laws
against an alien race in our United States.
French Cittmdnin Competitors.
It is clear that tlio mass of the Canadians
who are settled In Now England , says a
writer InJIarpcn's , are not rapidly becoming ,
proprietors of the soil , their holdings , ac
cording to their own i-oports , being very
much below the average per capita assessed
valuations in-tile six states , us'appears from
the census of 1800. They remain operatives
in the mills and. factories. . . A few Of them
are storekeepers ; fewer still are phvsiolans
and lawyers. Recently .tho French-Cana
dian press in the United States , and cspac-
lally in Now England , has rapidly devel
oped. This is a pretty sure sign tlfat the
active politicians nro taking a decided in
terest in the Fronoh-Caundiun vote , and are
prepared to avail themselves of the custom
ary electioneering methods for the purpose
of socurincr it.
In' 1SS7 there were in Now , England 10,800
French-Canadian voters ; In 1839 tbo number
had increased to 23.405 ; In 18UI it hud grown
to bo ! ! JJTO3. In every ono of the six states ,
except Vermont , votes equal in number to
thdJ Qlkrjrrcuch-Canudian vptowoyld suQlco
to reverse the political supremacy If they
should , bo transferredIron ! the _ prevailing
party Xoi the minority. In the proMdontial
election Just hold this vote played an im
portant part , especially.- Massachusetts.
It In said that most'of tho' French-Canadians
voted for the "do'mocratlc candidate because
of tlio injuries inlllctcd on the farmers ot
Quebec by the , McKlnloy tariff. However
thnt may be , it is the fact that the French-
Canadian "voto was a matter of much solici
tude to the politicians of both parties , and it
is Its growing Importance In American poll-
tics that makes the immigration of interest
in this country.
1 oil or 11 Morality ,
It is a fundamental maxim" , In this country
atileast , writes James W. Clarke In Donahoo's
Magazine , thu all moii uro and of right
ought to bo equal before the law. If , therefore -
fore , wo are to applaud , the suppression of
faro banks , policy shops , book making , pee !
rooms , lotteries' , newspaper missing word
contests , und all other opportunities for
petty speculation on the part of persons with
lean purses , by what perversion of logic
shall the great national gambling den known
as "Wall Street" bo Justified ? Is there in
this mutter of gambling ono law for the poor
and another for the rich ? Is it true that the
risking of a dollar by u mechanic or a day
laborer In the Louisiana wheel of fortune Is
immoral , while the risking of millions in a
wheat corner or a railroad stock , involving
thousands of innocent stockholders In ruin
is a ligltimato und pcrioctly moral transac
tlon ? If this Indeed bo so , modern moralitj
Is Janus-faced , and the rich man's virtue is
thopoor man's vice.
Well Drusgod Troops ,
In his "Side Lights on the German Sol-
dlor" in Harper's , Poultnoy Blgoiow writes ;
"Tho Germans are very thrifty in iholr

rack 'room would suspect tholr military
authorities of extravagance , , yet In rcgari

"Tho Inheritance Tax , " by Max West , Ph.
D , ( Columbia College Studios In History ,
Economics and Publlo La wVol. IV , No. 3) ) , is
n scientific discussion of a present day sub
ject. The first two chaptfr.i uro devoted to
nn exhaustive review of the history of taxes
upon trunsfcrsof property after the death of
the owner. Ho shows that such imposi
tions have oxtstod in ono form or another

previously in Egvpt , They now exist Iu
most countries of continental Eurppo. iu
many widely separated parts of the British

In treat In : , ' of Iho law of Iho inheritance
tax Dr. West makes some not very compli
mentary criticisms on tlio decisions of cer
tain of our juit ea who have declared the tux
to bo unconstitutional. Ills discussion of
iho economic theory of the { nhorltanco tax
Is novel ami Instructive. If any criticism Is
to bo made , it is that , in classifying iho va
rious arguments for Its support , ho has boon
unfortunate in choosing u short designation.
For example , "tho buck taxes nigumunt , "
"tho lump sum argument , " convey to iho or
dinary reader no moaning ut all until ex
plained nt length. Yet to any out ) who will
road Dr. West's monograph this will soon
become intulllglblo. The appendix showing

turns in various countries is a valuable

Thu "Now Inn" it Invent 443 Yonrn.
The oUTcathcdral city of Gloucester pos
sesses several very ancient inns which nro
still In use , two of which are regarded as
among the most interesting sights of the
place by all foreign travelers. Ono of these ,
the Now Inn , is an extraordinary rello of
very ancient times and deeply interesting
from its great ago. its historical associations
and its extremely picturesque character , its
architecture having many features in oom-
'mon With the larger and distinctly Moresque
inns of Spain and Portugal.
Readers of history will recall that the
splendid south aisle ot Gloucester's magnifi
cent cathedral was built in 1318 by Abbott
Thokey , during the period of whoso abbacy
the body of umrdeipd King Edward II. ,
which had boon refused lutcrmont iu the
abbeys of Maltncsbury , Kings\\ood and
Bristol , was givon1'bi3riUI within it. Great
pilgrimages'to Edward's tomb , and wonder
fully increased revenues to the then abbey
church resulted. / hen-throngs were .some
times so otormousj that the city could not
shelter them , andr , lfoy.wero obliged to en
camp at night outside tlio gates. A shrewd
old monk , named0'JblliiTumius , taking
proper advantage n-tlia'sltuation , in 145U ,
under the abbacy aitd , With the sanction and
assistance of the Ruinous abbot , Thomas
Seabrolte , built tljo , Now Inn , which at the
time doubtless had , no .superior ns a public
hostelry in Europe ; Ihluk of taking your

street that'tbe casual straggler not having
it in actual questt would bo fortunatn indeed
if his glauoorpenotrated the deep , dark nrch-
way separating it from the strcot and fell
upon the old world scene within. lean
never forgot my own experience , when ,
wholly ignorant of the spot , and of all of
dear , old Gloucester , for that matter , I had
como after u wearisome tramp down from
the Mulvern hills , and without object or
purpose was loaning against the corner of
this same dark : archway for a bit of rest.
Turning In a vagrant way to depart , a
coaching party dashed gaily past mo through
the archway. My eves followed the caval
cade , and then my Ieg3 followed my gladden
ing eyes. What an exquisite pleasure was
Iu that sense of original discovery of a place
so picturesque and old I How hesitatingly
I tiptoed about that line and ancient court
yard , feasting on this and that like a covet
ous intruder ; and-when I found that those
wcro anybody's pictures for the reckoning of
oven three penny worth of entertainment , with
what delight did I luxuriate at the bow
window of the flno old coffee room , ordcrin
this and that which I did not want , an
tipping the waiter so Immoderately that ho
sent another , and that ono another , but tax-
nig them all with questions so that they
gasped between answers , and finally wound
up by settling an advance score , which re
moved all doubts of responsibility , if not of
Insanity , while ordering my luggage to Us
quaintest old room with the loquacity of a
bridegroom and the bravery of u lord I
Around the entire three stories of the Inner
court , which Is Very spacious , run galleries
upon which all the dormitories open , pre
cisely as with the Spanish patio or court ;
while the half-story'of the peaked roof Is
broken into dormers , hooded with pretty til
ing , and their faces sot , like the border of an
old woman's cap , with simple but wondrous
ornamentation. The most picturesque of old
stairs and landings load from ono story to
the other. Hugo Iron ornamentations , many
cast with sacred emblems in view of its oritr-
Inal pilgrim character are found promiscu
ously attached to the doors , windows and
ceilings , angles and bows. Diamond shaped
panes in leaden frames are common , Case
iiiont and'little swinging windows are every
where throughout the structuro. Niches for
ofllgies and carved crosses have not yet boon
hidden by tlmo and chuugo. ,
Evoryllims Queer , < Junlnt anil Old.
Opposite the street nrch\yay Is another
lesser but picturesque archway , with the entire
tire facade of Iho rear sldo of tlio quadrangle
above showing as quaint and dreamful a
sccnoof rest fulness and antiquity as can b <
found la Europe. Through this is roachoc
ho stable yard , now restricted to accommoda
tlon for sixty horses. In oldou times U coulc
caio for hundreds ot animals , as folk of qual
ity in the time of fhVKing Edward pilgrim'
ages Invariably came on' noraobaok. Every
thing about the Nevr Jim Is queer and quaint
and old. .Never ql owHoro was aeon such n
radiant jumble of pJUjornors ( , llttlo arches

and wealth of vln'di lltH foliage nnd grave

The "Unlearn" MuUall'umaui by Dlokom
Dead old Bowes/.irv"iorthcrn ) Yorkshire ,

linest specimens o/i jlw ( ample r adslOo inn :
of the olden cpaoh'liw 'fays to bo found In al
England. Tjio villagb und this inn have
nlwaysliad for md/thd/welrilost / fascination
of any provincial sjwv in Britain , thougt
lx > th hamlet and 'lilil are now dreary am
desolate beyond doscrlution. The old inn
hero , now called , the Unicorn , was Ilrst
known us the Georgo. Eight coaches , bound
either to London pr Glasgow , daily changed
horses in Us great yard In the good old
coaching days. It Ivto this Inn that Charles
Dickens , with < \ great and merciful motive
in llction , repaired wftb his friend nnd com
panion , Hablat Browne , a few weeks before
Christmas of 1837 , where the two remained
while Dickens secured material for "Nicho
las Nlckloby. "
Ho had letters to a yeoman of the place ,
soon to shiuo as one of the Immortals of llo.
tiou as honest "John Orowdio. " Ho repre
sented himself as agent of a poor ) vldo\r de
sirous of placing her only hey Iu a quiet
country school. In this way he secured ad
mission to a number In the vicinity , though
shut out of some by the wary masters. The
"school" seeming most aultahlo
as a proto
type of them all , from the personnel of Us
savage owner and his family , with wild and
desolate physical suirouudiugs in keeping
with the hopelessness of the school Ufa of
the IIIHCO Itself , was the Uothoboys hall , still
aland Ing InBo wes hardly ft stone's throw
from the otiolont Unicorn Inn , the house beIng -
Ing now occupied by "old man Bonsdold , "
husband of the veritable Squoer's daughter ,
Fanny Squoors , known In mo ns Mary Ann
Shaw where "Nicholas Nlckloby , " his pro-
logo Inmlsory , the wretched ' 'Smlko , " and
scores of other helpless young llvos. nro de
pleted ns having undergone nn almost Incon-
ooivnblo llfo of servitude , starvation and
cruelty.
Accuracy of Dlokoni * Doicrlptlon.
Investigations showed thnt the horrible
picture drawn was not an exaggeration , nnd
bore out Dickens' own statement in the
original preface that ' 'Mr. Squoors nnd his
school nro fnlnt nnd feeble pictures of nn
existing reality , purposely subdued nnd kept
clown lest they should bo doomed impos
sible. " Tins , Dickons' second , and in some
respects his greatest , novel was begun In
April , 1833 , nnd llnlshod In October , 18'l. ) !
At the appearance of the Ilrst part ho ran
nwny from London , ns ho always did , to
remain In hiding until a distinct measure of
public favor or disfavor was shown. In the
case of "Nicholas Nickloby" his forgivable
skulking was of short duration. The first
day's sale of the Ilrst part exceeded 60.000
copies. Not six months had passed before
tho" torture and cruelty to helpless scholars
in these remote prison pens wore abated ,
nnd before the last chapter of "Nicholas
Nickloby" had boon road , public fcullng ,
which In many portions of the country barely
escaped expression In riot , had annihilated
ovor.v child-hell of the Dothoboys Hall
variety in England.
If you came from London to Bowes over
the same coach road na did Nicholas
Nlckloby , when , Hearing thn end of his
dreary Journey , "nt about 0 o'clock thnt
night , ho nnd Mr. Squoors nnd the little
boys and their united luggage wcro put
down nt the Goorga and Now Inn. " you
would have come by the old coach road from
London to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
An Otd Iloinin Hl lt\rny.
On leaving the nnclont city of York you
would Imvo struok into n highway S.OOO
years old. Masses of Roman legions have
swept , tide on tide , back nnd forth over the
same stone road. Stern Agricola , the
courtly Tacitus and Emperor Sorvllis him
self , have ridden toward the unconquerable
North upon it. The latter loft 60,000 , of his
irmy doud nmong the Scotch mists nnd
mountains , nnd with his face sot toward
iomo and homo only reached York to die of
ils wounds and chagrin.
It Is the great Roman road of England.
Wntllng , or Walthllng , street it is called.
Away in the north of Yorkshire , a few miles
above Cattorick bridge , ono stem of this
highway goes on through Durham and
Northumberland , nnd thence to Edinburgh.
The other swings around to the westward ,
traversing Westmoreland and Cumberland ,
through Carlisle to the great Roman wall ,
which once protected Britain from the Cale
donian hordes , and thence , In a more
modern coach road , winds through the olden
iovors' haven , Grotna Green , to Glasgow.
On this western stem , between the rivers
Tecs and Greta , at the eastern edge of
Stanomoor , nearly surrounded by dcsolato
moor § and in the northwest corner of York
shire , lies what Is left of Bowes.
It is dihleult not to wander away from a
description of the old Unicorn inn nt Bowes ,
among the literary and antiquarian thimrs
of interest in its neighborhood. The Inn
itsolfmust not bo confounded , oven under
its old name of the George , with the George
inn of Greta Bridge , six miles nearer York ,
now used as a corn mill. To disguise
the exact location of Dothoboys hall ,
Dickens made Squeers ( Shaw ) travel with
young NIcklobv three miles from the George
Inn at Greta bridge to the supposititious
"Hall , " followed by the "cart-load of infant
misery. " What they really did do was to
dismount nil tocrothor from the York and
Jarllslo coach within the inn yard of this
very Unicorn , and' then sh'ver along the
crooked , cobbled single street of Bowes ,
until they arrived at the "long , cold-looking
house , " a little way bsyond to the west , and
"a tall , loan boy ( poor Hmiko I ) with a lau-
torn in his hand issued forth. "
The Un'corn ' , which seems to have com
pletely escacod the attention of English
antiquarians nnd travelers,4 Is not only re
markable from Its associations , in having
boon the most important inn near the bor
der , between Yorlc and Glasgow nnd Edin
burgh in olden times , but in also being the
largest of .thoso nnclont English roadsldo
hostelries still extant which wcro called Into
existence by the necessities of travel in the
old coaching days.
Near Where William and Malcolm Ilnttlod.
At its very door the Royal Mall began the
ascent over the great north road of weird ,
dreary and vast Stanomoor , peopled only by
, wltchand warlock ; silent over save from
ihowllng tempests ; and with no semblance uf
humans upon it , save at its desolate top ,
where William the Conqueror and Malcolm
of Scotland fought dreadfully and long to
decide the boundaries of their respective
kingdoms ; nnd then wisely stopped and
feasted , sonslbly deciding that on the very
spot should bo raised the great Uoi ( now
Rero ) cross , or "Cross of Kings , " on ono sldo
of which was graven the imago of William ,
and on the other that of Malcolm ; but 800
years have catun these old faces away : nnd
none others will be soon until Kirkby
Stephen , nestling in the valley , on the other
sldo toward ancient Penrith and Carlisle , Is
reached ; allot which gave travelers' cheer
at the Unicorn a special zest not unmixed
with n thjge of dread.
Its form is of a double quadrangle , each
fully 100 foot square. The ono next the
street.has Its entire front open to the great
inn yard thus formed. The two sides abut
ting the street comprised respectively the
inn proper a long , two-storied and garroted
stone structure , with a perfect maze of curi
ous old rooms approached by outlandish
stairs , entries and landings , and rendered
additionally bewildering by countless niches ,
cupboards , alcoves and blind panels : and the
other a huge brow house , with dozens of
granaries and store rooms behind. The side
opposite the street provided offices and
sleeping accommodations for guards , post
boys , whips nnd all these Inn helpers concerned
corned In working the coaches , or dealing
with the tired cattle of the many travelers
on horseback , merchandise packers and
wagoners passing between England and
Scotland , n , century ago.
In this quadranglu are also many open
stone sheds , with tllod roofs , stone feed
boxes and neat , slanted cobblestone floors ,
where private vehicles and wagoners could
find temporary shelter in great numbers ;
and In the center of this quadrangle , sot
about with stone drinking troughs , Is the
most tremendous ancient pump I have found
In England , still creakingly serving the
scanty uses of the present degenerate days ,
The quadrangle behind the inn yard is
formed by what remains of the ancient stone
stables , where scores of pairs of post tioraos
could have found comfortable quarters and
as many moro carters' and packers' cattle
have good shelter and euro.
ejiTlio Old KltrliiMi "nil Tiny Tnprooin.
In the hostel proper the huge old kitchen
must have qulto equaled the famous ancient
kitchen of Old St. Mary's hull , Coventry.
There are still to bo scoa a half dozen coffee
and breakfast rooms , low , with deep win
dow scats , quaint , cupboards and odd old oak
paneling , wiioro guests were served in par
ties and groups Instead of in a common hall.
'There ' are tons and tons of load in the roof
gutters , about the window frames and stilt
firmly holding the ancient tiny panes of glass.
Little old parlors and sitting rooms , with
curious windows and most ancient stucco
work , are still recognizablej but most inter
esting of nil , and illustrating the customs of
that early time , is a tiny taproom opening
into tno rear of the inn yard.
It has low oaken settles built stationary
into wall and floor. Its huge flrepluco Is full
of tiny cranes for steamingkottlos. . In oqo
corner Is an oaken bed , inclosed in a closet'
like frame , where landlord and barman could
not only retire nt night completely from
sight , but also lock himself In against up
roar and disturbance ; and the window to
this room is a low , portly bow , in the center
of which , nb3\-o a tiny stout shelf , is a
single hinged pane. Through this the stable
men , hangers-on" the Into night travelers ,
who might bo uonost or otherwise , were
served with usquebaugh or Jorum only
after they had deposited coin of the realm
and the latter had reached the hostel treas
ury , a great buckskin bag within the dark
recesses of the barman's fortified > od.

A wonderful told curio { is the Unicorn a
Bowes , all unknown to the people of Eng
land themselves. Like the village it Is duad
in its shell. Its oaken timbers , as these in
Raleigh's old homo at Youghal , Doom everlasting -
lasting ; but its moaning belfry , Us empty
stablea. its crumbling dove cotes , Its forlorn
brow houao , Us empty taproom , its grass-
grown inn yard , and even its present occu
pancy by a strange creature half plowman
and half schoolmaster , who stares llstessly
up nnd dbwn the Rroat North ronil for oeca

froqucmt literary tramp , or yokel from the
near fields , nil serve to otnf-hnsUo by con
trast the cheer and stirring nays that once

.As everywhere In England along its grand
old highways where atnnd these crumbling
monuments to the mellow coaching days ,
there remains but mournful ullonco where
there was nn army of helpers and hor.iokcop-
orsj where the bow-logged jwst boys , In tholr
high chokers , high hats , hugo button * nnd
gorgeous waistcoats , led llvos of positive re

and clatter of hoof wcro endless ; where
"Rule Britannia" from shrill-keyed bugles
enlivened the constant departure nnd arrival
of coaches ; where the smart cry of "First
