LEAVES FROM NEWMEXICAN TRAVEL.

I.as Vwias, X M., Auf;. 2, 1RSI.

Knnoit Joi'KNAi. : I have inlendetl,ere this, to write about Xew Mexico'sgreat desperado, Billy the Kid, who!msnowaltalncd a national reputation-Thi- s

tien-o-n is only lil years of nge andis a leader of n j,ranK of the worst out-

laws ill the Southwest, and, what isrcmnrkablc, in mo-- t every exploit forfour or live years lie has liecn success-ful. He lias made a record which theoMot erimiiinl in the country canscarce etjual, not alone lorthe numbtrof his oll'enccs ni;aiiit the law but forthe huninu'uics of the crimes he hascommitted. He is reported to havekilled twenty men, and about one-four- th

that number has been kill. sisince I came to the Territory. TheKid was captured last spring, tried amiriciiltiiced to be hung May IX Ju-- ta few days before the day arrived, bothIt4s being shucklcd, one hand boundand tlteother free, lie grabbedoneoftlieguard's revolver, shot him dead, andas the other came up shot him deadalfn ; then taking a hammer broke offIds irons, mounted a horse and escaped.Ami to this day lie is at liberty. Thewhole Territory is constantly kept inexcitement. He is reported every fewdays in some town. His reputationwill soon ctial that of Dick Turpiu orClaude Duval.

11 is saiil the Kid was lirst led toadopt the life of an outlaw by readingdime novels, ami when lie first turnednut was a mere boy thirsting foi noto-riety as a desperado. He has beenverj successful in achieving till, a'ltlis A lit subject for a novel liims If.His principal occupation is cattle andhorse stealing from the big stock kingsof the plains. He is one of the finestshots of the world. I have been toldby parties who know him that eitheron loot or horseback he seldom nilscshis mark.

Sim-- e writing the nUive, atioiit themiddle of.luly. Hilly the Kid wasshotbv theSheiilfof Lincoln count v. TheSheriff, l'at (larrett, has, since theKid's --Jcape, been watching his move-ments. Learning lie was secretinghimself near Fort Sunnier, tlicSheritfabout midnight went to Mr. l'cte Max-well tf.ii of the Maxwell who onceowned the great Maxwell grant illnorthern Xew Mexico), at whtse houselie thought lie would meet the one hewas after. H went to his bedside,askinghini if the KM was there. Mux-we- ll

replitsl.no. ISarrctt took a seatat the foot of the lied, in the dark. Ina minute the Kid. in his stocking feet,with a revolver in one baud ami alarge knife in the other, entered thetloor. After entering ami seeing theSlierill, heliiatle the inquiry of Max-well, " Who is that sitting fit the endof the bcdV " The Sherill'soon rec-ognized the man he hail looked for solong, and with Ids revolver he soonpierced a hole through his heart. Timsended the career of the greatest out-law Xew Mexico ever had, ami theTerritory breathes frcpr.

l'at fJarrett, the hero of y, is atall, fine-looki- man, e.nd is verybrave. Hundreds of dollars are beingotic red over Xew Mexico to reward hishcroim. Las Vegas raised over $1,000for him.

1 had (he satisfaction of seeing theKid in the Santa l'ejail before his histtrial. Also met Tat Garrett in LasVegas since he shot the Kid.

A ersou to look at this countrywould wonder how people did beforethe railroad came lor many thingsnecessary to use anil build with, butHe who provides us from above, placethe wherewith in every country tomake man happy, lleforc the saw-mills they mixed tlirt anil water, thusmaking t he "dobies" with which theybuilt their houses; with the ax, cutMiles for joit and dressed the log down

for flooring. The natives still buildtheir houses that way. Also, to whitewash their houses, a kind of gypsumti is found This they pulverize, andmakes a very cood whitewash. Andif they desire paint, a certain stone Isfound near Las Criiccs. This is prepares! by being pulverized, ana usingoil makes a good colored paiut. XcarAlbutiieritie is a salt lake, where theygo and scoop up salt in large quanti-ties. This is put thereby solar evaKra-tini- i.

I might mention many otherthings the All-wis- e Creator proxidedfor those who settled here.

Xew Mexico was a place of king-doms before the advent of the railroad.As it were, one family was the rulingspirit In each place. These were theDons. They virtually controlled every-thing. When one would get married,they selected their better-hal- f fromone'of the royalty from another king-dou- i.

JJy so doing the rich are moreor leR related from Las Vegas to ElPao. Here at l.as Vegas the Romer-os held sway ; at Santa Fe, the Del-gado- s;

at liernallllo, the Pereas; atAlbuquerque, the Anuijos; at LosLuna, the Lunas; at Helen, theChavey; at Socorro, the Amadors;at Mesilla, Uifi Kerilaa ; at F.I Paso, theOclibe.

Administering justice here is similarto early times in Salina. Lately inaPaso a person was arrested for vlo-n-g

the law: During the trial thelawyers got so interested for the oneathey were advocating that the effectw.nji the drawing or two revolversat each otlier, to assist la enforc-ing the 'argument. The Justice de-cided the cac by immediately draw-ing two with one in eachhand liearing on each lawyer, remark-ing. " Put up those guns." The advo--

river into old Mexico. Also at Kin-co- n,

the other day, a party attachedsome goods to secure a debt. Thefriends of each would not wait for thealow process of law, and so commencedsettling the dispute by shooting. Onelawyer narrowly rscapeu being snot.

Out at Clifton, in Arizona, near theline with Xew Mexico, are the famouscopper mines. I guess without doubtthey are the richest in the world. Theparties have taken, out and sold aboutUiree million uouars worm ot copper.Being a large mountain the mines areinexhaustible, as Col. Hellers wouldsay, "there are millions in It." Thecurious feature is, that a large ltortionof the mountain is of such pure cop-per that it can not le worked. Whena blast is put into it the same shootsas though it were from a cannon. Ithink if I owned the mine I woulddilution topaaiid cry myself to deathbecause I could not get out the wealthit contained, but to think of millionsand millions of tons of copper lyingthere that can not be removed! Outthe owner hxs enough left that can Iksworked to keep the mine producingfor a life-tim- e.

I have been very careful alout writ-ing up mining in my letters, as I donot wisli to excite anyoody. Theminim; interest in Xew Mexico is inher infancy, ami no one can tell whatthe result will be, although manymines In Xew Mexico are now beingworked with profit, ami. as I havewritten before, I liellevethis Territorywill surprise the world some day withher mines.

To lie a successful miner you mustunderstand the business; if you donot, you had better let it alone. AndIT you should find a mine, you have anelephant on your hands unless youhave money to develop it. It take afortune to make a mine. Ik-for- e theparties realized anything out of thefamous copper mine mentioned abovethey sunk over two hundred thousanddollars In it. Around these miningexcitements is a good place to makemoney at some kind of mercantilebusiness or real estate. Let the minerget out the precious metals and you getyour share of it after being coined.

The Indians have been very bailthU month. From Socorro soutli Inthe Territory many a man, woman amichild has been horribly slaughtered.Some whom I was acquainted withmet their sad fate by the Ited Men.

There is a great demand for girls totlo housework in Xew Mexico. I feciconfident I could secure places for fivehundred girls on my route in thirtydays at five dollars per week wages.anil would almost guarantee that halfof them woubl lie Keeping House, orthemselves within six mouths.

Lately I met Hon. Xels Peterson atSocorro, Rev. Maxwell Phillips atSanta Fe and A. E. Ruggles, the por-trait painter, at Albuquerque (wherelie intends to resides). Also Mrs. A.M. and Miss Christie Campbell paid usa vis-it- . To set: familiar faces from tdtlSalina is gratifying to one in tills foreign country.

Respectfully, A. C. Sloan.

LOVE ON THE HIGH SEAS."Xow,"sald thecaptaln," weshan't

see any more land for a week, unit youyoung ladies MI have nothing to do butlet some of these young fellows fall inlove with you."

" Fall in love," cried Hetty, her tip-tilte- d

noe curling with incredulityand disgust. " Wlfo could fall in loveat sea. I'd like to know."

"Who could '.'"asked the Captain,in innocent surprise. " Why, every-body does. Why not'.'"

Hetty smiled in evident unbelief,but glanced furtively across the decktoward the handsome young officer,where he leans on the rail blowing'rings of smoReinto the dectt-hluesk- y.

Mischievous Deb anil the quick-sighte- d

Captain detect both, and laughunmercifully. Hetty blushes, and thefirst officer uncompromisingly turnsIds hack and adeaf carlo the Captain'sguffaws.

It is evening on shipboard, diniicrisever, the day's work is finished, andall arc assembled on deck.

Tin; sun, which hashungall day likea copper gong upon a brass ceiling, isnow mercifully disappearing. Themountains of Lowcr'Califoruia shinein his fast-fadi- rays like" the goldenhills of heaven," while one liltle hum-mock of mi island) long ami high andnarrow, rises out of the sea like thegrave-moun- d of sonic ocean got).

For once the water is smooth ; noth-ing breaks its stillness but the steam-er's trail, ami the seagulls now andthen brushing its surface. Far, faraway far as the eye can reach isnothing but the same expanse of deepblue waters, broken only by thoe yel-low hills, now fast vanishing into dis-tance and night.

Overhead, only another ami widerexpanse, still " deeply, darkly, beauti-fully blue," and behind a cloud thenew moon jut beginning to look forthupon the boisterous world below.

Prlgsuy, from London, explains to agaping audience how the scenery nowbefore them suffers from comparisonwith that of the Rhine. Sam Holantl.of Sail Francisco, carelessly replies toan inquirer that he is going prospect-lu- g

for gold in Oautcmala, acknowl-edges It to bea " pretty risky business,"admits the country to be full of roadagents and bushwhackers, but " reck-ons he'll pull through." Meantime.Hetty and Deb, seeing the Captain hada story iu reserve, settled themselvesto hear it.

' Didn't I tell you how my first offi-

cer got married ? Xo? Well, nobodycould a been sickcr'n his wife waswhen he courted her. I'll just tell youall about it if you like.

" Well, you see. I haven't alwaysbeen captain of a first-clas- s steamer-n-o,

siree! I ran away to sea when Iwas 12 years old, and I've worked myway from the bottom of the ladder.Well, when I was 30 I was captain ofa large sailing vessel that was in theSoutli American trade.

" I sailed from the port ot Callao.San Francisco being my destination.My second officer was an Englishman,but my first officer was an American,only twoor three yearsyounger than I,as good-lookin- g a young fellow as ever1 saw, tall anueiraiguianu nanusome,with eyes like blue china. He was aright good fellow, too; brave and hon-est, but frisky as a kitten and up to allsorts of larks.

" Well, we crept up the coast, stop-ping at every ninth door, as our ordersobliged us to do, taking in all sorts ofthings, all booked for San Francisco.Finally we came to San Jose de Oautc-mala that lies ninety miles inlandand there we hove to and waited for achance to go ashore.

" We'd only jast hove to when I no-ticed that a ship at anchor, not far off,was making signals of distress, andthat a boat was putting off iu our di-

rection. Of course, we were an chordfar out beyond the surf, and it wascomparatively easy for the boat toreach us; soft waasoon alongside, andone of the men came up the ship's sideami told me what was wanted.

" It appears that the ship was a cof-fee ship from San Francisco, and hadcome to Saa Jose for a cargo. It wasonly half loaded when one of theirboats capsized in the surf, drowningthe captain and first officer. The sec-ond officer was very low with a fever.and they had nobody to navigate theTeasel ; so tney naa to wait in port tillone other ship came along and could

lend 'em aa officer or somebody whoanoentood navigation.

' Well, I called up my first officer.aad put hiia. tne conee shin.rami in a day or two wc both sailed.we .were going over just the samegroaad or aea. rather aad, as the twoTitU were equally tot, we kept eachother in sigbt atost of the time. We'dbeen oat tea days, aad were in Amer-Ica- a

den the ship hove to, ami signaled asto stop. W e ran as close to them aswe could, and then we hove to, and,presently through the glass, I saw aboat being lowered, and there was awoman in it.

" I was surprised, as you can Imagine, fori ditl not know there were anypassengers in the cofTee ship, thoughthere were half a dozen in my own.In a few minutes up the side came myfirst officer, more than half earningthe prettiest little Spanish girl I eversaw. Oh, ladies! she was a beauty!Kyl-- s like the stars In the flag, and thesweetest little face kisses just stick-in- ir

all over it! Rut wasn't she thesickest little mortal that ever set footon deck ! r tell you, she was all greenami yellow, anil looked half starved.I tlo not lielieve she'd kept down aquarter of a dinner for a month past.

" ' Hullo, Jack ! ' said I, ' what's thematter?" and I gave the lady a seaton the lounge in my cabin. The xxrlittle thing couldn't sit up straight, soI just hoisted her feet up and made hercomfortable among the pillows.

" ' Captain,' said he, ' I want you tomarry me o this young lady.'

" Marry you V said I. ' What doyou mean ? She's too sick to be mar-ried, man! She can't stand un. Ifyou and she wan't to Is? married, whydon't you wait till you get ashore? '

" You see, ladies, we talked out freebefore her, for she couldn't understanda word of English.

" ' If we wait till then,' said he, youand I will be going to her funeral in-stead of to her wedding. We've gotto be married, ami right away, and youhave got to marry us.'

" Youseeagain, ladles, we were verygreat friends outside the ship, andwhen wc were alone ,wc dropped allceremony.

" What in thunder are you in such ahurry for? " said I. Why can't youwait till you're ashore? Where arethe Indies' friends?'"' Her stepfather's aboard my ship,he said.

" ' I thought so,' said I ; anil Iwon't have anything to do with it.'

"He just turned and winked me'out of the tail of his eye,' and then Iremembered, in a moment of mis-placed confidence, I hail told III in ofsome little circumstances in regard tomy own marriage.

" ' Hem ! ' said he, grinning like amonkey, ' I think they're sometimesjustifiable. Xow, just look here, Cap ;listen, and I'll tell you all about It.That little girl lias no relations, noth-ing but a stepfather, and she's deend-cu- t

on him for support. Well, the tddcoot's a doctor, and crazy at that ; or,if lie isn't, lie's the meanest cuss onearth. He's taken it into his addledold I lead to dlscovera sure cure for seasickness, and, because just the nameof a ship sets oor Dolores to castingup accounts, he has been taking heron all sortsof long voyages, and tryingids various decoctions on her. So Iwant to marry her to get her out of hisway. Of course, I'm in love with herami all that,' saitl lie, looking kind offoolish, ' but if that was all, I'd wantwant to wait till we got ashore. Ofcourse, I can't make him let her aloneunless she's my wife, and if he hascontrol of her much longer she'll neversee port again.'

" ' Do you mean to say,' said I, star-ing al him in surprise, ' that he, triesexperiments on her gives her tilingsthat ain't medicine? '

" ' I do,' he said ; ' and I mean tosaythat the last thing he gave her was abottle of bed-bu- g poison, and It mostkilled her.'

" lly the FIving Dutchman ! ' saidI, ' I should think It would. Whereis the old coot now? '

" ' In irons. I told him I wouldn'thave any sucli doings aboard my ship,and he slapped my face. So I put himin irons ami came oil to you.'

" Well, latlics, I just went over tothe sofa where the little girl was roll-ing tier big black at us, ami wonderingwhat in thunder we were saying.

".How old are you, my dear?' Iasked, in Spanish.

" You see, I'd been married more'ntwo years, ami 1 thought I'd a sorterright to lie paternal.

' ' Eighteen, Scnnr Captain,' saidshe, in the softest voice in the world.

" Saitl I : " Do you love this youngman ami want to marry him? Youneedn't if you don't, because I'll seetoitthatyourstepfathcrdoesn't botheryou any more.'

i limn inareio iook arounti ai jacs.for I knew he'd be looking blacker'nthunder Just then. Ami, Indeed, hetook a step toward us; but I made himkeeiioff till she should have answeredfor herself.

" Well, she blushed very prettily.ami hesitated for a second, then

That thesenor first officer had been her onlyfriend ; that, although she had takenmany voyages and seen many people,she had 'never before found any onewho at ret 1 to interfere iu her behalf;that she felt very grateful to the senortirt officer, ami had Income now attached to him, and with the SenorCaptain's permission would cladly be-

" Of course there was nothing to bedone except marry them; slit-wa-s overIS, ami at sea the captain's as good asa parson, you know.

"So I called up the passengers andofficers ; and the ladies dressed her upin their own finery, and we had awedding In very short order. Afterthat the ship's surgeon prescribed auatitidote for the bed-bu- poison.

"The second officer wt-n- t over andtook command of the coffee ship inJack's place, and sent buck Dolores'trunk auil clothing. At first I thoughtwc couldn't get along without him, forJack was so deeply in love witli hislittle girl I thought he'd be ofno manner of use Rut we had goodweather most of the time, anJ Jacktlid his duty like a man.

" But it was real touching to see himgo to nts wile's cauin every day andbring her on deck and fix her comfort-ably ou a bed the steward made for berUiider an awning. Ami there he'dnurse her and care for herjust as if he'dbeen a sister of charity. You mighthave seen then, Miss Hetty, how asailor can love a woman !

" Well, she soon got better andstronger. Jack and the doctor fixedher up between them, and a healthier,livelier, happier little woman neverset foot In San Francisco. Jack tookher right to bis married sister, andthere she stayed between voyages tillsbe had a lot of children, and her hus-band bought her a bouse of her own.

" What about the coffee ship? Oh.that made a port a day before us, andthe old doctor had us all arretted themoment we touched land. So we wereall hauled up In court, and Jack" badIt out with his step father-in-la-

Hetty has to put severe strain upon hereyes that they shall not wander in thatdirection?

The Captain saunters away to dothe agreeable to other passengers,while Iteb strays down to the deck tolisten, at a little closer quarters, to thetinkle of a guitar and to a soft voicehumming a Spanish love song.

And as she st lolls back she finds amasculine form usurping her place,and peeping under Hetty's downcastlids are a pair of earnest sailor eyes,whose dawning love and hope no seacan fright or quell.

HIS MOTHER'S WIFE.A girl who looked scarcely eighteen

summers tdd, slender and wonderful-ly fair, lay liack against the cushionedsoftness of a big Turkish chair. Acompanion, a dark haired, dark facedman, sat at her side. His hand wasnear hers so near he had but to lift itand lay it upou the little pink-tippe- d

Augers that clasped the arm of thecrimson chair. And his eye, hisdusky, unfathomable eyes, were fixedupon her face lu a glance half scruti-ny, half admiration.

"Violet!"The girl raised her drooped eyes

with a slow uplifting of their white,long-fringe- d lids, but she did not lookinto his face nor chango one line ofher graceful, languid attitude.

"Violet," her companion commenc-ed again, a slight swift gleam of an-noyance crossing his face, "are youangry because I have mentioned mybrother's name? Really, do you carenothing for my brother more "

"Really. Mr. Daryl. you are unwar- -ranlablv curious!" the girl flashedout, gathering herself up in a haughtyway that became her well. "Rut lestyou should willfully misunderstandme hear me say it again in plainwords, Hubert la only my friend."

Xow the niau's Idle hand closedover the light fingers in a firm clasp,and his handsome face, flushed amipleading, bent close above the girl's.

"Violet, you are angry with meyou call me Mr. Daryl. and I haveknown you as long as Hubert, anilvou sav I am unwarrantably curious'because I am deeply interested In yourwelfare, and you evade my question.You and Hubert may be only friends,and yet you may love him. Stay!you shall not leave me! I will leaveyou if need be. Xo doubt I have Iln- -

Sered too long already ; but you shallme first know why I am curi-

ous lecause I love you. There, Vio-

let! If you love Hubert, there Is nohope for me, but I can, perhaps, ac-

complish your happiness."The girl shook off his hand and

stood up. angrily, a haughty littlemaiden with naming checks and Hash-ing eyes, and a cloud of short, tawnyhair tossed lniietuously away fromher white brow.

"Yes, you have lingered too longalready, Mr. Daryl i there is no hopefor you here."

"Very well. I accept your dismiss-al for the present," replied her com-panion, with admirable calm ; "butthe day will come when you will beless swift to send me away. Goodevening, Miss Ri'ers."

What did he mean ? The girl satlong and late by the grate fire, tryingto think It all over Ids words aboutHubert, ills own confession of love,his offer fo accomplish her happi-ness.

"As If I would take Hubert's love agift at his hands !" she broke forth,indignantly. "Huliert doe love me.I ani sure of it. How can I help be-

ing sure, when we have always beensuch intimate friiuN, anil his mannerhas grown to lie more and more thatof a lover? Oh, why has Ernest comehome to make me miserable?"

Poor child! Leading her sweet, qui-et home life in the old vicarage, whatdid she know of the hundred evil pas-sions that rule the way of men ?

The Daryl 's country mansion wasjust across the broad, shaded countryroad from the vicarage, where Violetlived her quiet life witli au elderlyuncle and aunt. The girl hail knownthe Daryl boys from childhood, amihad admired the handsome elder oneIn au awesome way, and loved heryounger friend and playmate with allher childish, passionate affection. Asthe years went by, Ernest, the heir,traveled abroad, ami only with therecurring summer did she see much ofHI younger brother. Hut this yeartilings had been different. Emest hadcome home from abroad, Hubert Jtatlleft Oxford, ami despite the Invalid-Is- m

of Mrs. Daryl, the hall hail beencrowded with gay summer visitors.

Violet bail never passed so griy asummer; for the parties at the hallwere never quite complete withouther, and it seemed almost a secondhome. Hubert was with her constant-ly, ami the strange sweet blossoms ofwomanhood's love bloomed in Violet'sheart. Sbe was too happy, to oinuo-cen- t,

in her sweet, pure girlishness tosee that Hubert was beloved of anoth-er woman, and too wrapped iu herdreams to study Ernest Daryl as hestudied her, or she might have discovered mat lie loved her.

And so that evening's talk, whenErnest had called on her, came with astrange shock to Violet : but for all itssad foreshadowings of fate she scarc-

ely comeprehended it. Only, as thedays and weeks slipped by. and Hub-ert never came to call on her. shecould not shut out from her mind theface of handsome Miss Rcilalrs, andthe words that Ernest had droppedconcerning her and Hubert.

And then sometimes Violet re-called Mr. Daryl's words. Was it truethat he could have had the txnvcr toaccomplish ber happiness? Had shebeen foollhly, miserably unwise andoverproud in striving to conceal herheart's secret until she should confessIt for the very first at Hubert's woo-ing?

Xo! She could not, she would nottake her love from another mail'shands!

From Xovembcr to the latter part ofMarch such a short time to mostmortals seemed an eternity to oor,proud, little Violet. Ami then, onenight Ernest Daryl came to call.Much and often as she hail told her-self that she bated him, sbe met himeagerly now.

As the girl walked with outstretch-ed hand toward him, Ernest noted howchanged she was since the summer be-

fore. Her cheeks had lost their delicious bloom, ber eyes their sweethaughty Are. He was glad. He hadnot hurried his plans, and be felt sureof triumph at bit.

''What a stranger you are !" Violetsaid, with a alight, shy drooping ofuer eyes.

"Did you expect to see me after yousent me away 7"

"I am afraid I was very rude thatnight. But you have forgiven me, oryou would not be here ?" a trifle ques-tionlngl- y.

"I have forgiven, yes. I have nochoice but to forgive you though youpersist In ruining my life," lie an-swered, In a soft, low wfcy. "But Icame here because Hubert sent me ;otherwise I should not have the assur-ance to Intrude. He I to be marriedIn a fortnight to If is Bellalrs. It lato be a very private wedding, becausemy mother b III."

Andthea"Violet, poor little dear !" so softly,

so gently, so caressingly."Oh. Violet! Proud little woman !

Yoa did care ! you do care ! I wishHubert knew how mach I am surehe""Xo ! No! I am glad he does not.ne mtjM nor, anow I wnat am I say- -ag!"

"Your brother hail not loved MissRivers ami won her!" whispered thebride over the balustrade. "Come,HiiU-rt- , I am ready. Pray spare Mrs.Daryl any further scene."

A ml there was no further scene.Violet saw Hubert married, and wascalm. And two couples were leaahappy than they might have been ifErnest Daryl had not sworu to marryViolet Rivers and kept his oath.

BRIGHTON.

The "biggest thing" in Englishwatering-place- s is Rrlghton, which issometimes called Loridon-by-the-Se- a,

and which iu she and solidity corres-ponds witli tlie great metropolis, andis a worthy and appropriate "annex"to it. It is practically no farther fromKelgravia than Coney Island is fromMadison Square. The fast trains whirldown to it in a little more than an hour,at a cost to the passengers of from eightshillings, second class, to twelve shill-ings, first class. A business man mayleave his office In the City at a latehour iu thu afternoon, ami have timefor dinner and a walk on the pier or adrive along ttie King's Road beforedark. It is Loudon repeated on a smallscale, without the smoke and theslums, ami with a purer atmosphere,though with scarcely less of a crowd.The shois are London shops, the act-ors ut the theatre belong to Londoacompanies, the faces and dresses havebecome familiar iu the Strand or Pic-cadilly, and thoCocktiey dialect, withlis soft drawl and misused aspirates,is heard ottener than any other. LikeLoudon, too. its social life Is sustainedby many classes circulating in a gen-eral current, but never affiliating; andwhite iu one quarter coronets are norarity, ami a prince leads society, Inanother the excursionist of a day, orthe tradesman spending a two-week- s'

holiday, smokes his brier or cutty andeats Id's shrimps without feeling thedisparity, and without realizing thatBrighton was not made especially forthe delectation of his own ciasj.

Hut, though practically incorporatedwith it, Brighton Is fifty mile awayfrom the City, ami lying between thetwo are undulating English land-scapes, with many shady lanes andancient villages, through which thetrain Hies when it Is once beyond tbaspacious limits of London. Under theUox Hill Tunnel, which is the seenof a story by Charles Iteade, and hasoften done service iu fiction; over tbaofty spans of the Seven Bridges,

through deep ami friable cuttings ofchalk anil lime stone t litis is the wayto Loudon-hy-the-Sc- and as we comenearer to it the land is hillier, thefoliage less abundant, anil flocks ofsheep are seen fattening on the nutri-tious grasses of the breezy SouthDowns.

It is to be remembered that, withthe exception of the creseeata aadsquares ami intersecting street, thenis no break iu the three miles of build-ing which abutoii t lie sea; the houses,shiqi. baths, ami hotels arc set togeth-er without any unoccupied lota be-tween them. Hut to fully comprehendthe extent of Brighton, one should goout on the pier, and then the placemay be seen lu its complex and sub-stantial entirety. Compared to It, themost crowded American watering-plac- e

Coney Island, Atlantic City,or Long Branch is nothing more thaaa camp. It Is veritably, and not laany fanci fulness of nomenclature, acity by the sea a city modelled oaLondon, and having the structuralpermanency of the metropolis, it isnot built on the bank of a river, norat the head of a gulf, nor In the shel-ter of a bay. It i immediately on thocoast ; the chalk el I lis, with theirgrassy summits, are al either side ofit. and the water is never more than afew yards from the esplanade. Tbasolidity and compactness of the front-age of buildings, ami the heights cov-ered with houses, are things whichmust excite the wonder of any onewho sees them for the first time.

Brighton is not busy for a few sum-mer months only, and then left to tbagales, the fishermen, and the coast-guard. Though the fashionable sea-son docs not begin until late in Sep-tember or early in October, the ex-cursionists crowd it from the earlysummer until late m the year. FrostAugust to December the climate lamost salubrious warm, elastic andbracing. An east wind keeps visitorsaway iu the first months of the year,ami the place Is then deserted exceptby a mere handful of people aboutone hundred and four thousand whoconstitute the resident population.If.

WILL THE POPE LEAVE ROME?St. Jamf- - GaMtte.

A public meeting was held at Romayesterday to protest against the lawswhich guarantee his palaces to tbaPope. It was presided over by i muwho bad srent sixteen years In thepapal prisons. When the meeting ap-proached the resolution, agents of thagovernment appenretl and preventedits being read. The chairman said thepeople knew its purport, and, puttingit to the meeting, it was carried by tbeunanimous vote of o.OiX) persons.

Serious proposals have Iieeu madelately that,the Pope, jbould transferthe seat of the holy see to America,where an independent position wouldbe assured him. Iu the Vatican coun-cils it is cunslderel almost impossiblethat the Pope shout i Iave Europe;but the protrosa! hat beeu noted, andwill be taken into consideration withothers if tbe Pope should eventuallydecide to leave Rome. Most of thapowers are understood to have express-ed the opinion that the pope shouldnot leave Rome.
