 what was said, and let it pass by. When
in each case we had been successful, there was an end of our friends'
croakings.

But in the northern States of America the bitterness against England
has amounted almost to a passion. The players, those chroniclers of
the time, have had no hits so sure as those which have been aimed
at Englishmen as cowards, fools, and liars. No paper has dared to
say that England has been true in her American policy. The name
of an Englishman has been made a byword for reproach. In private
intercourse private amenities have remained. I, at any rate, may
boast that such has been the case as regards myself. But even in
private life I have been unable to keep down the feeling that I have
always been walking over smothered ashes.

It may be that, when the civil war in America is over, all this will
pass by, and there will be nothing left of international bitterness
but its memory. It is sincerely to be hoped that this may be
so;--that even the memory of the existing feeling may fade away and
become unreal. I for one cannot think that two nations, situated as
are the States and England, should permanently quarrel and avoid each
other. But words have been spoken which will, I fear, long sound in
men's ears, and thoughts have sprung up which will not easily allow
themselves to be extinguished.

NEW YORK.


Speaking of New York as a traveller I have two faults to find with
it. In the first place there is nothing to see; and in the second
place there is no mode of getting about to see anything. Nevertheless
New York is a most interesting city. It is the third biggest city
in the known world;--for those Chinese congregations of unwinged
ants are not cities in the known world. In no other city is there
a population so mixed and cosmopolitan in their modes of life. And
yet in no other city that I have seen are there such strong and
ever-visible characteristics of the social and political bearings of
the nation to which it belongs. New York appears to me as infinitely
more American than Boston, Chicago, or Washington. It has no peculiar
attribute of its own, as have those three cities; Boston in its
literature
what was said, and let it pass by. When 
 in each case we had been successful, there be an goal of our friends' 
 croakings. 

 But in the northern States of America the bitter against England 
 has amounted almost to a love. The player, those chroniclers of 
 the clock time, have had no hits indeed sure as those which have been aimed 
 at Englishmen as coward, jester, and liars. No paper has dared to 
 say that England has been true in her American policy. The name 
 of an Englishman has been make a byword for reproach. In private 
 intercourse secret amenities have remained. I, at any rate, may 
 boast that such has been the event as regards myself. But even in 
 private life I have been unable to keep down the touch that I have 
 always been walking over smothered ashes. 

 It may be that, when the civil war in America is over, all this will 
 pass by, and there will be nothing left of international bitterness 
 but its memory. It is sincerely to be hoped that this may be 
 so;--that even the memory of the existing feeling may fade away and 
 become unreal. I for one cannot think that two state, situated as 
 are the States and England, should permanently quarrel and avoid each 
 early. But son have been speak which will, I fear, long sound in
