LONDON, March 17,1872

We have been in London one week. We arrived here last Tuesday after a pleasant ride through a most beautiful and highly cultivated region of country. The broad green fields, with their streams and stone bridges, their neatly trimmed hedges, the roads and walks, the forests with the domes aud turrets of some baronial castle peering above, call forcibly to mind, all that I have read ol the beauties of England. The thatched cottages with their sheep folds attached, the castles with their lodges, was a most picturesque, as well as an extremely novel sight to us.

Yet even in the midst of beauty, we cannot help thinking of the gloominess of nature. And all the time, when gazing at the exquisite loveliness of everything I saw, I was wondering where the dirt was put. Look as clearly as I would, not a heap of rubbish could I discover, not even astray spear of grass. The entire country through which we passed had the appearance of a large, highly cultivated park, and it also reminded me of a toy we used to see several years ago, of a village that came out of a box, similar to Noah's ark, consisting of houses, trees,-sheep, cattle and horses—so extremely trim aud precise in everything. As we came along we saw the splendid-looking cows, laying in pleasant fields in the warm summer sunshine.

Our Euglish acquaintance, made on board the steamer, calls England "the garden spot of the world, and America a desert." I don't wonder at it at all, and although I acknowledge the pastoral beauty of England I can not oelieve, indeed I know there is not that grandeur about their scenery there is in own country. I effectually put a stop to the boast of our Englishman, by begging him to bear in mind that his garden spot entire was no larger than one of our most diminutive States, and we have over thirty-five. Did he wouder that we had some barren land After that, the garden spot sank into oblivion.

Ever since we have been in London the weather has unremitingly kept up its reputation. It has rained constantly, with the exception of one day. Notwithstanding that, we haveseeu many sights, such as the House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, river Thames, Westminster Bridge, monuments to Franklin, Lord Howe, Nelson, Napier, Duke of Wellington (two or three to him). Havelock, Colin, Campbell, Sir George Bentick, several of the Prince's Consort, Crimean monuments, erected to the heroes of the Crimean war, Hyde Park, St. James' Park, Cheapside, St. Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, Rookwood Terrace, the Arcolle Stereoscopic Company, Dore Gallery and National Gallery. Behold all these and say, "there is nothing to be seen in Europe," as a certain gentleman said at home, when England alone holds so much.

We also visited the magnificent buildings of the horse guards saw them on parade, they are splendidly mounted and equiped aud the East India officers. I cannot see much in Buckingham Palace save its immense size, as architectural beauty it has

Done.

Yet when I first be

held it, it presented quite an imposing sight, surrounded with sentinels, guards, and gaily arrayed officers lingering in the court. But as for beauty or taste, it cannot compare with Terrace Row, it Chicago, or some of those fine blocks of buildings in New York.

Prince Albert's monument, erected by the Queen, is a most wonderful structure. It is about the hight of the Congregational church, aud as large in proportion, and is one mass of gilding, and every available spot that is not occupied with a figure, is set with precious stones. It would be a land-mark for miles, were it not so completely wedged in with

lUThelNorthumberland

house particular

ly attracted my attention, because of a figure of a lion with a most peculiar twirl to his tail. It has a most ludricous appearance, and th® story is equally ludricous. It runs in this way,that when the bouse was built, the lion was placed in a different position from thp present. But one of the

tiki-'

who bad an inviterate hated of the house of Carleton, had the lion placed in such a way, that the tail pointed with a twirl of contempt towards the house of Carleton.

We are quite pleasantly situated here. Our hotel is on an immense scale, charges are also in proportion, I suppose the charges are so stupendous, because so frequented by Americans. The Euglish have imbibed the idea, that America is a land flowing with gold and silver, and every Americana gold mine. Notwithstanding its great size, it is full to overflowing, even the halls, are converted with the help of screens, into sleeping apartment*. All nations are represented here

I left off writing yesterday, as the sun came out so bright. We knew a fine evening would follow, and concluded to take advantage of it, and attend the theater.

It is most surprising to see the stupidity of the English, and bow they go on in the same beaten track, year after year. An American corning into their country, they immediately rush to offer assistance, thinking we are as stupid in England as they are in America. In the end, they are compelled to stand off in amazement at the way an American breaks through their long established customs, venting their wonder in the expression "A dem clever people."

For instance: I know here it is the custom for ladies to go unbonneted to the theater. However, I wasuot aware it was a necessity. I had a severe cold, and did not propose to have more. On entering the theater, the first thing was, "Oh, the lady's bounet! Will she step into the cloak room?" "Oh no, thank you I will keep it on." "But our rules our rules!"* "Yes, I know it. But I am not prepared for following any such rules this evening. I am an American, aud an American never uncovers in a public place unless she chooses. I am sorry not to please* you. I would rather return home than sit uncomfortably without my hat." But I did not go home. I enjoyed the play under my lavender hat, and walked off, with the comfortable sensation, that a dozen pair of eyes followed us with open astouishment.

We have had a good time here notwitstanding the almost daily rains. Sight-seeing, as generally gone through with by tourists, is unpleasaut in any but sunny weather. But as we prefer to do things differently from the usual way, we are not much inconvenienced. We consider that a day spent in examining thoroughly, one or two places or collections, is very much more profitable than three days, or indeed any number of days, racing about from one noted place to another, to stay but one hour at each. Yet, we have been industrious too, and visited almost all the places of note in the city that are worth going to see at this season of the year.

Yesterday we stayed all day in Westminster Abbey, (which is open Saturday's to the public,) a melancholy interesting place. Of course we directed our pilgrimage first of all to the Poet's corner. When just tetween the memorial statue of Shakespeare and the just lading flowers strewn upon the grave of the last comer here, the great novelist, who needs no monument, it was easy to be respectfull, if we could not get up the usual amount of awe and reverence that have been harped about by tourist Americans. We entered the House of Parliament, a magnificent structure, mounted six nundred steps to the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. Then down in the vaults, to the tomb of the great Duke of Wellington. It is in a large room of marble, the walls and ceilings of most beautiful marble, the floors very beautiful stone. In the four corners of the room, are large marble pillars, from which issue little jets of flame, throwing a subdued light over the massive tomb of Porphery that stands in the room.

In the next room was the funreral car of the Duke, made from the cannon he had captured. Attached to the car were some of the horses that had drawn it at the time of the funeral. It was drawn by twelve horses, and as they die they are preserved and placed in the vault.

What pleased me most in England was the buildings of the Horse Guards, the great yard constantly filled with elegantly equipped troops, the sentinels pacing to and fro, and the magnificent stone gateway. Just at the entrance stands, day and night, amounted guard, arrayed in the richest uniform of white, scarlet and gold, a long flowing plume, and sword, helmet, shield and brass breastplate glittering in the sunlight the glossy coat of the black horse like velvet both horse and horseman as motionless as if carved from stone.

Our ride up the Rhine was the most glorious possible to imagine. It seemed that old Dame Nature had done all in her power to gratify a wish that I have carried in my heart as far back as the day when I read Hyperiou, and Pilgrims of the Rhine that was, to see.the Rhine in all iis beauty. I" have seen it so, and the remembrance I will carry with me all the rest of my life. All that I have ever read, or heard, or imagined of its wonderful beauties were more than realized.

The mountains towered up. grandly, their rugged sides all aglow in the warm sunshine, and away upon the summit were the crumbling walls and ivy-clad towers of a splendid old castle? amass of ruins, yet beautiful in its decay. Every mountain has its ruins and traditions that one's fancy can bring before us —image after image, from history and romance. In whole, the mountains and ruins bore a conspicuous part in the days of the robber knights.

C. D. G.

There's Where He's Weak. Dickerson, the youthful city editor of the Terre Haute GAZETTE, went to housekeeping lately. Any one who has it known that the getting ready is attended with vexations. Now, Dickerson, though weak, is valiant, and he resoved in advance that, come what would, he would meet the trouble bravely .and never cuss once. The carpets were tacked down with vast outlay of worry and perspiration, but with a cheerful serenity of temper that would have made Job's face appear just heavily. The stove pipes were jointed and put up with nothing more than a "dog on it" or two, and so the work progressed. At last the pictures were to be hung, and here the trouble commenced. First he bumped his head against the ceiling, whereat he growled then he cracked himself on the thumb and forefinger with the hammer, and sent forth a howl that was almost an oath then he barked his shin in getting down the stepladder, and was heard to utter something like "Godskinaromansenate," etc., but at last the pictures ^were swung, and peace was beginnfng to brood over his soul again. But a glance around the room revealed the fact that every picture was awry. This was too much. Patience was at a disoount just then, aud the poor boy gave vent to his long suppressed feelings in a good round ejaculation that would have doue credit to the traditionary pirate.

We lose faith in Dickerson.—Indianapolis Sentinel.
