The dimness of Will eyetizht bad been in creasing all the while; but be was somehow conscious of a sharp and chining scrutiny wwen irritated ana yet overmastered aim.

BTOS Most of you will have beard of Allan Qua termain, who was one of tbe party die. covered King Solomon's mines some little time ago, and who afterward came to live in England near his friend, Sir Henry Curtis. He has gone back to the wilderness now, as these old hunters almost invariably do, on one pretext or another. They cannot endure civilization for very long, its noise-and racket and tbe omnipresence of humanity proving more trying to their nerves than the dangers of the desert. I think that they feel lonely here, for it hi a fact that is too little understood, though it has often been stated, that there is no loneliness like the loneliness of crowds, especially to those wbo are unaccustomed to them.

"What is there in the world," old Quater-aaaia would say, "so desolate as to stand in the streets of a great city and listen to the footsteps falling; falling, multitudinous as the rain, and watch the white line of faces as they hurry past, you know act whence, you know not whither. Tbey come and go, their eyes meet yours with a cold stare, for a moment their features are written on your mind, and then tbey are gone forever. You will never see tbem again, tbey will never see you again: tbey come up out of the unknown, and presently they pace more vanish into the unknown, taking tbeir secrets with tbem. Yea, that ia loneliness pure and uudeflled; bat to one who knows and, loves it, the wilderness is not lonely, because the spirit of oatore is ever there to keep the wanderer company. Ha finds companions ia the winds the sunny streams babble like nature's children at his feet; high above bim, in the purple sunset, are domes and minarets and palaces such as no mortal man hath built, in and out of whose flaming doors the glorious angels of the sun seem to move continually.

And there, too, is tbe wild game following its feeding grounds in great armies, with the springbok thrown ont before for skirmishers, then rank upon rank of long faced blesbuck marching and wheeling like infantry, and last, the shining troops of quagga and the fierce eyed, shaggy jrilder-beeste to take the place of the Cossack host that hangs upon an army's flanks, "Oh, no," he would say, the wilderness is sot lonely, for, my boy, remember that the further you get from man tbe nearer you grow to God," and, though this is a saying tnat migntweii be disputed. It is one I aiu sure that anybody will easily understand wbo has watched the son rise sad set oa the limitless, deserted plains, and seen the thunder chariots of the clouds roll in majesty across the depth df unfathomable tky. Well, at any rate he went back agnin, and now for many months I have heard nothing at all pf him, and, to be frank, I greatly doubt if anybody win ever hear of him again. I fear that the wilderness that has for so many years been a mother to bim will now also prove his grave and the grave of those. wno accompanied him, for the quest upon which be and tbey started is a wild one aeeo, Bat whilo be was in England for those years or so between his return from the suo iaessfui discovery of the vise king's buried treasures and the death of bis only son, I saw a great deal of old Allan Quatermain, I had known him years before ia Africa, and after hs came home, whenever I had nothing better to do, I used to run up to Yorkshire and stay wua aim, ana in ttus way I at cos time ttaaffl BUrtTa lf- a us past me, and most curious some of them were.

Ko one can pass all those years following exmcence oi an elephant hunter witnout meeting with many stranee ad' tares, and one way and another old Quotcr main cas certainly ocea his share wau. the story that I am going to tsQ yea one of the later of these ad ventures, though I forget tbe exact year which it happened.

"Connaughfs" To the Editor of Iht Journal sj i Sis, I often wonder; whether those sons or the tmerald Isle, who for Hme Rule and give of their meant and lead the weight of their influence to improve the eon- uition of tbe Irish tenant, make erroneous when writiog or speaking on Irish affairs, through that crass ignorance which comes of inherited prejudice, or that moral obliquity which results from Jesuitical training. Whatever the eause may be, it is aa indisputable tact that ia the discussion of Irish affairs few HonieRulersor Land Leaguers, or their sympathisers, can be trusted to make aa honest statement of their ease. To justify the ince ot a irarneuite party, tbey obliged to look for grievances in the history vua paavor to misrepresent tne existing condition of Ireland and iu people. I nave aasertea, now repeal the assert ion, and i challenge contradiction, that the position of the Irish tenant is to-dsy better than that ot a leaseholder in say other country in the wuim, aw excepting vanaoa or tae United ptaite. sm many and so great are his privi- leges, so completely is be invested with tbe runts and powers which ordinarily belong to the Unduwner, that be ia in a very much bet ter ana sairr position than his landlord.

It is only a shiftless, improvident and indolent people that would, with such advantages, be content to remain tenants.

Give our own Can adian people the same chance toaoanire homes of their the aext century would Had very few tenants in aav Dart of tbe Dominion. The CUUen'i correspondent points out, se a riievaace, that the concessions granted by the imperial raruamcac nave Dcea acoompaawvl by Ckwrcsoa acts, Ia other countries such sneasures are called legislation for the suppression of crime and lawlessness.
