NONE GENUINE WITHOUT OUR NAME: YOEK fflSAMUEL You see I am this far on my way to Paris Idid.hate to leave Tangier, and I never will be happy till I et back to Africa. I Btopped a few days at Granada, and found all my friends well and had a good time with them, dicing here, taking breakfast etc. I stopped a day in Seville to pick up a bag that I had left there, and found some Americans; people who had be en in Tang ier with me. Madrid is a very new, very clean, quite an American city; quite the air of Washington with its governmental look. The people don't seem quite such beasts as they are in Andalusia, but they are far from being all they ought to be. The museums here are' about the finest in the world, and I just live in them. Tiie Spanish pictures iplease me beyond everything. I am at Dolores Carmona's who is a sister of Donna Carmen, with whom I boarded in Granada. She lives very near the Puersta del Sol, the center of Madrid. Iler apartments are nice and clean, and she has a good cook. I will only be here a few dayB longer. I go to the Escorial; ami It seems the day after to Toledo. civilized of out the funny after being world so long to come back to tramways, gas, pavements and books. It is very easy to get about here, as tramways run in every direction; but I am confining my attention; to the museums. I wrote you I was having a new dress made when I was in Tangier; it is such a place for style! The dress came out from London in five days. Mv clothes quite overpowered the people'in Granada; but that Is nothing Granada is; quite out of the world. The Spaniards seem uglier than ever after being with the Moors so long, and more despicable, and smaller; and they don't seem to like me any better, as they bawl IngleBia after me all the time. My height makes me conspicuous; I look a head taller than any of the men, though it is not quite as bad here as atfGranada. Dolores gave us a pie the other night, for dinner, and I wish you could have tasted it; was made of fish mashed np fine, with garlic and oil, and then put In little turnovers and fried in oil, and sugar sifted over them; That is one of the horrible messes Spaniards can get up when they try. I must tell you about the last Saturday 1 spent in Afeica. We, (that is all, the people in the hotel), went out to It Is Cape Sparteltothe light-housan International light house; that is, all national subscribe to keep it up. It is nine miles from Tangier, and we went on donkeys.

Yog ought to see these people at market. They can buy one leg of a chicken; or if they are of an economical turn, they can just They take that buy the gizzard. gizzard, and first, make a soup of it, which is nothing but greasy water with bread in it. Then they take that same gizzard and make a pochari; that is all the vegetables they can rake together, beans, peas, anything all boiled together, no, stewed is the word, (awful mess!) Then they take that same gizzard and fry St in oil, and sift whits sugar over itl and they have a dinner for four or five persons. They can buy just the bead and feet ol a chicken If they are so inclined. The markets here, in Madrid are very flue. 1 get plenty of strawberries and tho best oranges I have seen over here. I am going directly to see the royal stables and historical coaches. A big funeral (some general) passed here Sunday, and two of the royal coaches were In the procession. They were very much like the band wagon of a circus, and I long to see the rest of them, I hope to get off to Paris by the end of the week. Traveling in Spain is a great nuisance; the trains start at unseasonable hours, generally, an I everything is as uncomforable as possible; and Spaniards are so on the train but they are that everywhere. I will feel very near home in Paris, but there is no place like Africa are much finer than Raphaels, or even Titian's, although there is one of Titian's, of Charles V. on horseback that is hard to beat. All of Titians are beautiful and the color ravishing. Raphael pleases me better in black and white (engravings, photographs, etc.,) because his color is bad aud uo tone. The modern Spanish School is very fine and their color magnificent, but it seems to me to run to gore; it is always somebody with his head cut off; or A corpse, or a dead body just dug up; they do it well, though There are so mauy dead Cleopatras and Lucretias; and Isabellas making their wills. Iu tlie museum of Artillery, there are some interesting historical objects. What pleased me most was a tent of diaries, quite large, made of linw white cotton cloth aud entirely covered with minute Arabic designs in other colored cotton cloth, sewed on. Then the armor of Pizarrn, and Cortez's Bword and flag. The Spanish churches do nut please me like those of Belgium They are unusually rich in marbles and colors, but the choir is In the middle of the nave, and that breaks the vista; it seems all blocked up, and the Bize and height are altogetliei lost. They say Toledo has the finest Cathedral in Spain. 1 will be able to tell you something about it night, as I am going there for the day. Wednesday. I slept so late I did not get off to Toledo. There is only one train a day, which leaves at 7 a m. 1 will spend tlie day in the express office trying to get my trunk off to Paris. It takes two or three days to do anything in Spain; or, rather, to get them to do it for you. Some day, I will give you a chapter on Spanish servants; there is nothing like them outside the Peninsula. There are two things that Irritate a Spaniard beyond everything, to look English, and to talk French. If you want to reduce their hearts of fire you have only to talk French at them, even American French will do it. Coming over from Tangier there were a number of nice French people on board, and iu the intervals of settling our little accounts with the sea, we had a fine time talkWe all ing about the Spaniards. have our illusions! I have had them in my time; but travel dissipates all illusions, and you come to look at things as they are not as poets have represented them. People have been in the habit of deceiving us about Spain, some from iguorance of the language, others, because they cling to the Cid, etc., etc.; but I have told you the truth, and nothing but the truth. If the Moors only had Spain I That is the cry of all people who tiavel in the Peninsula.

In reply for the information of our correspondent and a hundred similar enquirers we will say that Irovo contains some 5250 inhabitants. It is surrounded by a rich agricultural district ol.8 of the very richest in the worlds the climate is perfect; miners in vast quantities and of all descriptions also abound near by. Crops this year here are first class. Wheat will yield in this vallev as high as eighty bushels to the acre and potatoes as high as 450 bushels to the acre. Trades such asblacksmithing carpenter and joiner work, wagon making painting and paper hanging are in most flourishing condition here. Hundreds of new buildings are being erected in all parts of the city. Carriages and buggies are sold here in large numbers but they are generally of eastern manufacture and a carriage and wagon factory here would prove a most remunerative enterprise.
