London, March 4, 1871.
Wonders will never cease. An able letter in
last night's 7'aMjlaM Gazette points out a feature
of the Alabama claims which is certainly im
portant, and yet has not, I think, been remarked
npon before. W ho was it that Buffered by iho
Alabama? Who are the persons to receive the
money, if it Is decided that me are to pay?
The ship-owners ? But chips, we know, usually
have several and often have many owners, and
it is probable that not a few of these part
owners were Englishmen, aod some Germans
and Frenchmen. The shippers ? Hardly; for
then, as now, everybody sent a cargo to sea In
sured, and so made himself absolutely safe in
advance. The underwriters, then ? No; for as
soon as Confederate cruisers were known to be
about, the underwriters raised their premiums
to the level of the risk, and are
shrewdly suspected to have, as a
matter of fact, mado more by the
Increased premiums than they lost by captures.
And, assuming for the moment that we are
liable for the damage done by the Alabama, she
had some consorts for whose acts we are admit
tedly not answerable, and how are you to dis
tinguish the effect thete had in raising premiums
from the effect produced by the Alabama in
particular? Still, ships aud cargoes are not cap
tured or burned without somebody being a loser.
Who are these somebodies? Primarily, all per
sons, of whatever nationality, who owned the
property submitted to the risk of destruction;
and, secondarily, customers of the Northern
States all over the world, who either had to do
without Northern produce or pay more for it.
The writer's conclusion is and it is one to set
ns all thinking that, .practically, "as against
the Northern States the naval effect of the war
was by the escape of the Alabama to some ex
tent aggravated; but that the pecuniary effect
cannot now ho traced to individuals, and if it
were to traced would be found to have been by
no means exclusively American." The question
is interesting to you, for supposing us to have
paid a lump sum down, you will have to dis
tribute it.
How fond your public men are of (reading
npon the British lion's tail! The news by cable
of the President's reception of O'Donovan Rossa
and some of his comrades has not, indeed, been
publicly commented on, but I can speak for its
having caused a good deal of private irritation.
A few of us, you see, who have been at Wash
ington.know how much and how little a "recep
tion" at the White House need mean, but you
must be prepared to find the average Londoner
firmly convinced that going to see the President
at his official residence Is all one with being
"honored with her Majesty's commands" to
attend some state affair at Buckingham Palace,
and consequently that this "reception" of
Fenians was meant as a studied Insult to us gene
rally. A trivial incident like this is a fair speci
men of the almost absurd facility with which
Englishmen a. d Americans blunder into mutual
mistrust.
The first act of this session of Parliament has
just received the royal assent. It authorizes
her Majesty to grant the Princess Louise an
annuity of X'6000, to commence from the mar
riage day, and be paid quarterly. What a ridi
culous fiasco that opposition to the dowry
proved I Mr. P. Taylor and his seconder stood
to count the no-dowry faction, and allured one
solitary supporter into their lobby. Mr. Tay
lor, however, seems rather jubilant than other
wise, and has grandiloquently proclaimed to
his admirers that be foresees in his rather small
minority "the beginning of the end." "All I
knows Is as I hadn't no dowry when I married,"
was the criticism of a woman who stood with
arms akimbo in the crowd ai the Queen went
to open Parliament; and it just expressed, I
think, the vague popular feeling on the subject.
Do you imagine we are, on the whole, rather
slow folks at change? Pray run your eye over
the programme of the new democratic associa
tion of one of our midland towns, Leicester.
Here It is election of the Prime Minister by the
people, forcible sale of uncultivated lands, uni
versal suffrage, vote by ballot, triennial Parlia
ments, the disestablishment of State Churches,
and abolition of grants to royal personages and
of the hereditary House of Peers. A proposal to
call the association "republican" Instead of
"democratic" was voted down by a small ma
jority. High time we trembled for our institu
tions, isn t it?
The Queen has been vaccinated, and wishes
the fact to be generally known. It looks,
at first sight, rather an odd announcement to
make seml-officially in the public prints, bat
there is an excellent reason for it. Though
email-pox is more rampaHt and terrible in Lon
don than it has been for many years, there is
still such an unreasoning, superstitious shrink
ing from vaccination among the lowest, and
even the lower middle classes, that no ordinary
persuasion will reconcile them to the operation.
But once let them hear that the Queen has sub
mitted to it, and hundreds will be satisfied to
hare their arms to the lancet in loyal imitation of
a royal example.
Mrs. Nathaniel Hawthorne's sudden death
from an attack of pleurisy is a sad shock to a
fast-widening circle of English friends, who,
drawn to her first perhaps for her husband's
cake, soon learnt to appreciate her for her own
Already many of our noblest and worthiest had
found their way to the little cottage at Kensing
ton, where the widow and her two daughters
had set up their adopted home. Notably, the
Duchess of Argyle, future mother-in-law of our
Princess Louise, had grasped her warmly by the
hand and striven to make this great city feel like
home to her. It is little more than a fortnight
since I was present at aa interesting meeting
between Mrs. Hawthorne and Robert Browning,
whom she had known years ago in Italy. How
hale and animated and happy she seemed I She
had found among her husband's papers the
reach manuscript of an unpublished novel from
his pen, the scene laid In England, and was
very busy, she said as if with a presentiment
how short her time was transcribing it for the
press, "for no one but myself can read his
hand." Just two weeks, and all was over. W ill
the English story ever see the day ? We can 111
afford to lose it, or her. ''Old Time rolls round
such pleasant events," she wrote of her meeting
with Browning. Little we thought he would so
loan roll round this mournful one.
QWrlting of Browning, I must not omit to call
your attention to his new poem, "Herve Rlel,"
published in this month s Cornhill Magazine.
J Lave hit own authority for saying that this is
the first time he has ever contributed poetry to a
periodicala thing that few poets of his stand'
ixg, I fancy, could say. A special reason
accounts for the present publication. He was
xcedltaticg how beet to lend a helping hand to
the French relief fund, when It was suggested
to him to sell a poem and give the proceeds. At
first he modestl doubted whether any ot e would
care to buy, but Messrs. Smith, Elde fe Co.
hearing of the chance, liberally offered 100, so
the Cornhill gets "Herve Rlel" and Paris the
money.
Rumor said Darwin s new work, "The De
scent of Man," was going to air some startling
theories, and Rumor certainly has told tbs truth
for once. There is something amusing in the
learned author's confident u iterance of his theo
ries. There Is no doubt, he tells us, that our
early progenitors were creatures whose bodies
were entirely covered with hilr. Bolh sexes
had beards and pointed ear.', capable of move
ment, and were furnished with tails. Their
feet were prehensile, their habits 'go doubt
arboreal," and they lived In a arm forest-land.
If all this is true, as Darwin firmly believes, how
grateful we ought all to be to the great, principle
of natural selection, which has eliminated our
talis and brought us down from our trees!
As might have been expected, the smart little
brochure "Dame Europa," which I have mention
ed to you bef re as blaming John Bull for his neu
trality in the Jate war, has provoked a host of
replies. "Why John didn't interfere," "Which
should John have helped?" "John justified,"
and so on, are prominent in every bookseller's
window, and of several of the pamphlets there
are French and German translations, for the
benefit, presumably, of the contending parties.
It is so seldom nowadays that a really witty
play is written that Uncle's Will deserve! a
word or two. The plot is simplicity Itself. Two
cousins, decidedly fond of one another, are left
a thumping legacy on condition of marrying
within a year. Of course the moment they feel
tied to one another, all the charm of courtship
is gone, and they spend half an hour bandying
deliciously sarcastic repartees, till both renounce
the legacy in disgust, and find love comes back
in no time. Nothing short of hearing it can
convey the fire and sparkle of the dialogue.

WOSDEBTUL CARD-PLAYING
A Blind ftlaa end Deaf Mute IeduUleff la
Little ;ame.
We wero witness a night or two since to a
singular trar paction a game of crib between a
man totally blind and a man wholly deaf and
dumb. At this fascinating game both are un
usually expert, and the strange contest was
watched with Interest by numerous spectators.
The blind man proved victorious, as he almost
invariably does at this game, although bis oppo
nent in this instance is so proficient therein tbat
professional sports, knowing his prowess, refuse
to play with him for a consideration.
For the Information of the curious, we will
state tbat the blind man shows his cards confi
dentially to a bystander, who tells him in a
whisper their denomination. He needs never to
be told more than once, he never failing to re
member the number ot each card and its posi
tion in relation to each of the resc iu his hand.
But that which affoided us most thought for re
flection was tbat, although the parties had never
met before, they at once appeared to have a
mutual understanding, and conversed with each
other almost as readily and rapidly as if neither
had been deprived of any natural gift.
The mute wrote with extraordinary rapidity,
using his left band, while the blind man made
himself perfectly understood to his fellow suf
ferer by simply indicating with his dexter finger
along the table the letters necessary to the for
mation of the words which he desired to use.
The scene was truly a subject for thought, and
one calculated to confirm the belief in that
great heavenly law of compensation whereby a
person deprived of one natural sense or gift is
given some other faculty in greater degree than
is vouchsafed to others unailllcted.
The parties of whom we speak are both men
of more than ordinary ability and acquirements.
One is a prominent member of our local bar,
with a State reputation, and the other is a land
scape and animal painter of no small merit. One
suddenly lost bis sight a few years since; the
other became deaf and dumb when only seven
years of age from an attack of scarlet fever.
And yet we doubt if two more genial, happy
men exist In the community. They seem, by
some godlike dispensation, to forget or to be
satisfied with their great loss, because of other
powers and gifts given in compensation Sac
