I laspector Campbell Writes Anather Enter- talninc Letter Frooi the .Metrepolle of the Waridâ€" Westnlnitcr Abbey antf Impres- . •lone Froa the " Poets' Coruer." LosDOH. Sept. 19th, 1897- Mt Dbak Thub«ton, â€" Since writing yuu last I have not been altogether idle, though I may not have travelled " by rail and t-oat " so much as in some of the other weeks. I have bean developini; wy pedestrian proclivities of earlier days, and in this way and by wheel have been trying to learn more of this great city and its environments The omnibus also is ever at hand and is ever congenial. A tmm from South Lambeth to Westmin- ster bridge brings one to a centre of life aud activity second only to London bridge and its approaches. Westminster brid)ie is one of the finest bridges I have seen. Curiosity led me to " step it off" one day as unconcerned as you please, amidst the immense traffic which throniied everywhere. I made it 380 paces long and a little better than 26 paces wide, footways and all. Reckoning three feet to a pace the size of the bridgs will be guessed at pretty nearly. The footways are about fourteen or fifteen feet wide, and the rest is for carriage traffic. The old bridge, upon thn site of which the new one is built, has been for years associated in my mind with Wo rdsworth's beautiful sounet,committed to memory in student days. I hardly ever cross the bridge but I think of the poet's charming picture so skilfully drawn, and I may bo pardoned for quot- ing the lines here entire to refresh your memory, so to speak. This is the early morning view he pictures from the old bridge : "Earth bas not anytbing to show more fair ; Dull would he kMut soul who eould p&ae by A Bl|{ht so touching in its msjestj ; This city uow doth liko & garment wear The beauty of the niorning ; i-ilent, bare, dhips, towurs, domes, theatres and tamplaa He Open unto the fields and to the sky, All bright and glittering in the smokeleae air. Never did sun mure beautifully steep, Id his first splendor, valley, rook or bill ; Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep I The river glideth at bis own i>weet will. Dear God, the very houses seem asleep. And all that mighty heart is 1 ying still." No one who has not at an early hour on a clear day stood and looked on the scene can realize the beauty and faithful- nus I'f this description. Crossing the bridge to the west, on the left rise in ar- chitecturul splendor all their own the Houses of Piirlianient, covering eight acres of ground. The tower â€" Clock Tower, 1 believe it is callud â€" stands right at the western end of the bridge. It is 40 feet si|uare and 320 feet hii'h. About 200 feet from the r^of are the four circu- lar dials of the clock, that by the aid of Big B<rn lings out to the city the quarters in a melodiou.^ chime of four or five notes, with longer chimes at the hours and half hours. A little farther south is the mas. sive Victoria tower, 75 feet square and 340 feet high at the entrance to the Bouse of Lords. I have not seeu else- where so fine and iinixMiug a pile of build- ings. To the west of the House of Lords stands Westminster Abbey, and just alongside, to the north, the fatnuus St, Margaret's ohttpel. Both of these are so intimately associated with almost every important event in English history for over 300 years that one can scarcely be- lieve himself surrounded by such sacred walls. The great and honored dead of the empire are in Weatniinater Abhey re- membered by slab, or cryp^, or cenutaph b>^aring inscriptions in known and un- known (from age) languageg, Fancy yourself sitting cm h Sabbath evening to hear the Kev. Canon Wilb^r^roB preach in his own forcible mid impressive man- ner, (.hi looking around ycu "ee Chati- cer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Dry-i den. Goldsmith and others represented in quently through their works. It was my fortune to get a seat in "Poets Corner.' Ill all parts of the Abbey may be seen the same evidences of depaii>ed greatness, whether in the field of letters, or art, or science. Turn whichever way you please, the eye falls upon tomb or memorial of some well known name, until you live over again many of the notable epochs of English history indissotubly coniii'cted with the life, and even with the dint, of tho^e whose memory is thus kept green in a nation's life. But at (he comer of Westminster Square Parliameiit street is reache4t' tip which, northward, the omni- bus turns. It is not long until you are opposite, on the left, the pillared, solid atone block with its myriad windows and offices, known as the Government Build- ings. To the north of this huse block , and separating ic from another similar block, is Downing Street, where the des tiiiies of nations are laid in the balance. As yi'U pass the wind seems to waft to- wards you the smell of sealing wax and red tape. Downing street is not much to look at. It is a short street, none too straight, fiauked on either side with high walls of solid masonry. " No. 10," the official home of the First Lord of the Treasury, was the most important aud interesting to us. It is not surprisingly msgnificent. Indeed, we thought it too common for t!ie office of the man who, while holding that trust, has the most rxaponsible position on earth. No great event happens now without the know- ledge of this little office. Put down one therefor the greatness of these little islands. Farther on we enter Whitehall street, and to the north of the Govern- ment Buildings is Whitehall. What Canadian schoolboy is not familiar with Whitehall I From the days of Woleey in Henry VII's time the place is full of his- toric interest. " White "-hall it may have once been, but smudged with the London smoke of centuries, what remains of the oldiWhiteliall place is no longer white. The Horse Guards are uow to be seen there every day in their polished military trappings, standing guard over the sacred memories of the past. On the right, opposite the Horseguards, we are shown the spot where Charles I. was be- headed. But now we are in sight of Trafalgar Square a short distance to the north, and the lofty column of Nelson's monument comes into full view. The column stands on the southern part of the square, and is a lofty pillar of Pott Uud stone, 146 fee: high. On top of the column m a colossal statue of Nelson, 17 feet in height, but 10 the distance appears to be little larger than life size. .\s if to guard from lianii this memorial to the greatest English naval hero, four enor- mous bronze lions, designed by Landster. are stationed, facing outward from the uoluinn, one at each ctmier. In the square, which in some respects is one of the most important in the cityâ€" indeed in the world â€" are erected several pieces of statuary to noted military com- manders, To ihe roar of the column, and on either side, are two fountains, the water uf which Ls supplied from two ar- tesian wells btitweun 300 and 400 feet deep. When these fountains ate playing and the water rising from 26 to 40 feet, and on all sides are seen masses of surg- ing humanity crossing in all direction.s ; omiiihuses of all shades of color made mure brilliant by carrying all s rts of attractive advertisoninnts, more leisurly aeekiug their stations, taking up passen- gers and moving on in one direction or ani'ther, their places meanwhile to be taken by others aud the same process re- peated ; bansoma moving rapidly and silently (hU hansoms are sh<Ki with rubber tires), looking for passengers or taking passengers to their destinations; the more noisy cabs with the noisisr jabber of the cabby should he receive any provo cation, and the stylish coach with its handsome pair, liveried coachman and well dressed occupantsâ€" all those and more crossing aud recrossing in front of the monument and fountains, at all hours from morning till night, make a sight Charing Cross, streets open in all direc- tions, nine or ten in all. This is the centre from which all the omnibuses radi- ate to all parts of the city, north, suutfa, east or west. TO BK CONTIlfUBD.

I sprained my ankle veiy badly, a short time after it got veiy bad scaio. I was unable to get around for about throe mouths. Finil I tried one doctor tbtiti another, aud other remedies to no end. I was nearly giving up in despair when you 1 gave me the first bottle of "Lightning x'tiu Hunter" to 'ry it ou its merits ; to my surprise I got immediate relief ^nd in about three waekH I began moving around, and shortly after went to work. I thank the day I began using your Lightning Pain Hunter that set me on my feet again. We have used it for butQs, scalds, bruises, coughs. sore throat, sore ghouldere ea the horses and cuts in winter, yet I have failed to be 'lisappoiiited when applied. In fact it is our household remedy nnd I would not he without it. Anyone wishing to write uie direct I willgladly answer them. Wishing you every success I remain.
