No ono who studies fill portrait will quos-tlon quos-tlon tho strength of tho character hack of tho countenance, hut, to our mind, Mr. Strachoy's most pleasing characteristics nro Ills Inclslvoncss and hrendth. It Goes without eaylng tlmt his early education was neglected hecausc, forsooth, this Is his first visit to America; nevertheless, ho knows n deal moro of our country than many of ourselves know, and, whllo viewing our Idiosyncrasies with that amused toleranco which no true Urltlshcr can hklo and which, In turn, Is nmusfng to us, ho Is tho most conspicuous, con-spicuous, consistent and stanch friend of tho United States to ho found In London. Ho Is also, In our Judgment, Judg-ment, tho nhlest of English Journalists. It is well that ho should come hvra and acquaint himself with our pooplo, and It Is fitting that wo should express ex-press our pleasure of seeing him and our wish thnt ho might remain longer.
