this one.
"You have n<* Tower in Amer-
ica?" »aiil a mull in th«* crow*!,
who boil somehow dctoctotl my
th'iioininatiou.
"Alurs! no," I Hnswenl; “we
boste of our cnt*'i prise and mi*
proovemeiits, an«l jyit we are dt •
void of a Tower. America, oh, nn
unhuppy country! thou bast not
got no lower! It’s a sweet Boon.
The gates tv as openetl xtftor n
while, and we all purcliist tickoU
and weut int“ a wuitin-room.
"M\ frens." said a pail-faced
little miiu ill black close, ‘‘this is s
Had day."
‘‘Inasmuch as to how?” I said.
"1 mean it is sad to think thut so
mum people hat e been killed with*
in these gloomy walls. My fr* ns,
let us drop a tear.”
•*No," 1 said. "You must excuse
mo. Others uiuy drop one if they
feel like it; but as for me, I decline,
The early managers of this msty-
tootion were a bad lot, and their
crimes were trooly orful; but 1
can't sob for those w ho died four or
five hundred years ago. If they
was my own relations, I couldn't.
It's absurd to shed tears over things
which occurd duriu the rain of
Henrry the three Let us lx*
cheerful," I continuerd. "Look
at the festive warders, in their red
fiannilnaekets. They nr.* cheerful,
and why should I not be tliuslv
with us!'’
A warder now took us m charge
and showed us the 'Prater s Gate,
the armors, and things. The Irat*
♦ r's (bite is nice enuff to admit
about twenti traters arrest. I should
judge, but beyond this. I couldn’t
see that it was superior to gates in
general.
Traters, I will h**i*e remark are h
i unfortunate class of people. If
they wasn't they woiildn t b** trat-
ers. They conspire to bust up a
country—they fail, and they re
traters* They bust her, and they
ls*oou)e statesmen and heroes.
Take the cus** of (lloster, after-
ward Old Dick tin* Three, who may
l»e seen at the tower, ou horseback,
in h heavy tin overcoat take Mr.
(Buster’s case. Mr. O. was u cons-
pirator of the basist die, and if
[ he'd failed, lie would have been
hung on a sour apple-three. But
Mr. (1. succeeded, and became
great. H" whs slew’d by Col. Itieli-

ai.d they sh« <»t cim ofi witii siicb a

sigh'd to Im* a Injun, when I was
in the liocky mountain region.
Tie y ui'» a pleasant lot, them In-

have told Us of the red meu's w<»n-
di *ful < K*pi» iii*e, and I found it
Our party w» stopt on the plains
• »f 1 tali by a band of Shoshones,
whose chief said, "Brothers', the
pale-fiU' is welcome. Brothers!
tli1 sun is sinkings in the west, and
Wa-pa-bucky-she will hcxui cea»v
hpt ukin. Brothers! the poor red
man belongs to a rare which is fast
b'eomin extink." He tie n whoop-
ed in a shrill maimer, stole all our
blankets and whiskey and tied to
the primeval forest to conceal his I
emotions.
I will remark here, while on the
subject of ftijuus, that they are in
the main a verv shake set. and
• •
when I hear pliilantbro|iiHts he-
wuiliu the tact that everv var ear-

I m glad of it, tlio' it is rough on

* a *’
tic* sweet inline of brother on** tnin-
it, and the next they scalp you with
their Thoiuna-huwkR. But 1 wand-
er. Let us return to the tower.
At one end of the room where
the weppins is k**pt, is a wax. figure
of t^uecn Kli/.abetIk, mounted on a
fierv sturt*‘«l boss, whose glass eye
rtasliea with pride, ami whose red
inorocker nm *ils dilates hawtilv, |
as if eoncioits of the roml burden
he hears. 1 have associated Kliz-
1 abeth with the Spanish Vruiady.
, She's mixed up with it at the Sur-
ry theatre, where Ti'oo to tlie ('eiv,
is b**in' u'-tod, and in which a full
bally core fis introduced <*n board
a
the Spunjsh admiral's ship, givin'
the nudietiH the i*Iee thut In*intends
openin’ a nioosie hall in Plymouth
the moment he conkers that town.
Bui a very interesting drummer is
7Voo to 0^ Core, notwithstandin'
the cxeentriek conduct of the Span-
ish admiral; and verv nine it is in
(^uecii Klizabeth to Make Martin
Truogold a baronet.
The warder shows ua some ms-
trunients of torture, shell as thumb-
screw’s, throat collars, etc., statin'
that these was conkered from the
Spanish \rinady, and addin' what a
erooil people the Spaniards was in
them days -which elliasited from a
bright-eyed little girl of sorao P2
summers the remark that the
thought it mo# rich to talk alsmt
th** crooilty of the Spaniards usin'
thumb screws, when we was in a
tower where so many jhxt people's
heads had been cut off. This made
the warder stammer an turn rod.
I was so pleased with the little
girl’s brightness that I could have
kissed the dear little child and I
i would if she had onlv been six rears
w «
I older.
I think my companions intended
to inuk'- n day of it, for they all had
sandwiches sassiges, etc. 1he sud-
looking man, who had wanted us to
drop u tear before we started to go
round, fling d such quantities of
HisKigr mto his mouth, that I ex-
l peeted to see him choke hi*s**lf to
J death**; said to me, in the Beauch-
amp tower, where tin* poor prison-
ers wrote their *ndiajs*y names on
the eold wall: "This is uu oiihspey
sight."
"It is indeed," I assured. You’r
black in the face. You shouldn't
cut sussig** in public without some
rche.ii’HiiU before hand. You man**
, age it orkwardl?.*’
“No,” lie said, “I moan this sad
, room.
Ituh wd, he was *|Uitc right. Tho'
so long ago all th<*a** things hap-
M'lied. I w as v cry glad to get away
rum this ghsnuv room and go
where the rich ami sparklin' crown

with the queen‘m crown, that it oc-
curred to me what a agreo'ble our-

And s»> 1 left the tower. It is a
solid and commanding editt's, but I
deny that it i.s cheerful. I bid if
ad no without a pang.
I was driven t«» niv hotel l*\ the
most mehinrholv driver of a four-
a
wheeler tlmt I eu/saw. He heav-
'd ii deep sigh as I gave him two
sliillius. "I’ll give you six d. s
more,' I said, "if it hurts you so."
"It isn't that," he said with a
heart rending groan, “its only a
way I have. My mind is npset to

drive vou into th»* Thames. 1 have
