In the course of this letter, Mrs Clark writes of u beautiful inciden she witnessed by the statue oi Abraham Lincoln which Americt presented to England. It revealed more than any thing else could the deep and abiding love in the hearts of the British people for America's immortal hero. 4th Special Letter London Continued and .Thoughts by the way. H Editor Sentinel: In my last letter I wrote about ► a number of the principal buildings of London. There are so many yet to write about, and also ao many other things of interest, that I find it difficult to know just where to start and where to end. I don't want to be like the old illiterate colored preacher, with whom 1 was talking once who «aid, "it sure aint no trouble for i me to start, but I suttingly cant . find no place to stop." .When I t asked, "how's that?" he replied, i "because I never get clean throu a done"— I certainly hope I will. s London has many arches, me- ! i mo rials and statues, and also the I.

This week Mrs. T. Dowdne. Clark resumes her delightful rem iniscences of her visit to Lundon A wonderful faculty for minute de tail dues this gifted writer, reve:. in all her letters, and a still mon wonderful gift for graphic description. Nothing escaped her keen eye, and memory recall- each partirular with great vividness. Another power cf Inestimable value to a writer of travels devel- ' oped to a very high degree in Mrs. Dowdney Clark, is that of being able to look upon distant scenes and foreign peoples through the eyes of a cosmopolitan. The charge most frequenly laid against i American writers of travel is their inability to see and appreciate anything except from the American viewpoint. Whether true or not, this cannot bo said of Mrs. Clark. The lady in England wrote as though of the country born; in France she was ' French. This gift in particular : was evidenced in her description of 1 the Passion Play of Oberammagan. ' Incident-, often trivial in them- 1
