at they may have no trouble in housekeeping. She was as sensitive to criticism of her country as some people are to criticism of their friends. Throughout her stay in Germany she suffered from the captious and provoking tone of the Prussian press about things American. Even in the churches she met this note of unfriendliness. She took the trouble to transcribe in her Journal an absurd newspaper story. An American Woman of business Some little time since, a man living near Niagara Falls had the misfortune to fall from the bridge leading to Goat's Island. [Berlin paper says Grat Island.] He was immediately hurried to the edge of the fearful precipice. Here, he was able to cling to a ledge of rock, and to support himself for half an hour, until his unavoidable fate overtook him. A compassionate and excited multitude rushed to the shore, and into the house, where the unhappy wife was forced to behold the death struggle of her husband, lost beyond all rescue, this spot yi

They are also successful in raising wild beasts, having two elephants, a tiger, and three giraffes which have been born in the cages — some young lions also. The captive lioness always destroyed her young, and these were saved by being given to a dog to nurse.... August found the travellers in Prussia. Passed the day in Berlin.... At night took railroad for Czerwinsk, travelling second-class. After securing our seats, as we supposed, we left the cars to get some refreshments, when a man and a woman displaced our effects, and took our places. The woman refused to give me my place, and annoyed me by pushing and crowding me. The brutality of this couple was almost beyond belief. She was always so gracious to fellow-travellers that they usually made haste to be kind in return. She

y. Throughout the journeyings which followed, our mother had two objects in view: to see her own kind of people, the seekers, the students, the reformers, and their works; and to give Maud the most vivid first impression of all that would be interesting and valuable to her. These objects were not always easy to combine. After a few days at Chester (where she laments the restoration of the fine old oak of the cathedral, now shining like new, after a boiling in potash ) and a glimpse of Hawarden and Warwick, they proceeded to London and took lodgings in Bloomsbury (a quarter of high fashion when she first knew London, now given over to lodgings). Once settled, she lost no time in establishing relations with friends old and new. The Unitarian Association was holding its annual conference; one of the first entries in the Journal tells of her attending the Unitarian breakfast where she spoke about the poor children and the Sunday schools.

In fact, my little speech was a decided success with the Frenchspeaking part of the audience. Two or three Englishwomen who understood very little of it found fault with me for occasioning laughter. To the banquet.... September 23. This morning Mrs. Sheldon Ames and her brother came to ask whether I would go to Germany on a special mission. Miss Bolte also wished me to go to Baden Baden to see the Empress of Germany. September 24. A conference of Swiss and English women at 11 A. M. A sister of John Stuart Mill spoke, like the other English ladies, in very bad French. Nous femmes said she repeatedly. She seemed a good woman, but travelled far from the subject of the meeting, which was the work to be done to carry out what the Congress had suggested.

nscience which illuminated these dungeons, and which enabled frail humanity to bear these inflictions without flinching. She always wanted to see the torture chambers. She listened to all the detailed explanations and looked at all the dreadful instruments, buoyed up by the thought of the splendors she speaks of, when mere shrinking flesh-and-blood creatures like her companion, who only thought of the poor tortured bodies, could not bear the strain of it. From The Hague they went to Amsterdam, where they worked hard at seeing the rich museum, which contains some of the largest and best of Rembrandt's pictures, and much else of interest ; thence to Antwerp. Here she writes:-- To the Museum, where saw the glorious Rubens and Van Dycks, together with the Quentin Matsys triptych.

ith friends old and new. The Unitarian Association was holding its annual conference; one of the first entries in the Journal tells of her attending the Unitarian breakfast where she spoke about the poor children and the Sunday schools. Among her earliest visitors was Charles Stewart Parnell, of whom she says:-- Mrs. Delia Stewart Parnell, whom I had known in America, had given me a letter of introduction to her son, Charles, who was already conspicuous as an advocate of Home Rule for Ireland. He called upon me and appointed a day when I should go with him to the House of Commons. He came in his brougham and saw me safely deposited in the ladies' gallery. He was then at the outset of his stormy career, and his sister Fanny told me that he had in Parliament but one supporter of his views, a man named Biggar. He certainly had admirers elsewhere, for I remember having met a disciple of his, O'Connor by name, at a rout given by Mrs. Justin McCarthy. I asked this lady if her hu

Spoke of the exercise of the intellectual faculties as correcting these tendencies — education of women in America progress made. Coeducation and the worthier relations it induces between young men and women. Said, where society thinks little of women, it teaches them to think little of themselves. Said of marriage, that Milton's doctrine, He for God only, she for God in him, was partial and unjust.

Ouvrager for travailler was one of her mistakes. In spite of some slight criticisms on the management of this Congress, she was heart and soul in sympathy with its object; and until the last day of her life, never ceased to battle for the higher morality which at all costs protests against the legalizing of vice. Before leaving Geneva she writes:-- To Ferney in omnibus. The little church with its inscription Deo erexit Voltaire, and the date. ... I remember visiting Ferney with dear Chev; remember that he did not wish me to see the model [of Madame Du Chatelet's monument] lest it should givemegloomy thoughts about my condition — she died in childbirth, and the design represents her with her infant bursting the tomb.

Accordingly, she bought second-class tickets to a neighboring station and first-class ones from there to Czerwinsk.
