I do not care so much about where I came from as about where I am going to.

lie is very accessible to visitors, and JL Tricoupis seemed to regret his absence very much. Tho evening of tho day in which we had our interview with Queen Olga, the first secretary and chargo d'affaires of the Russian embassy, 21. Bachmotiff, and bis wife, a daughter of Gen. Beale, ex-minister of tho United States to Austria-Hungary, joined us at a' dinner party at tho Hotel do la Grande Brefagne. Gen.

Dcale, tho reader will remember, was tho intimate and confidential friend of Gen. Grant. It wa3 to him that tho hero confided first the shocking secret that ho was r.Qicted with a disease that must soon terminate his life. 2Irs. Bach-metiff we found to be a bright, witty and handsome lady.

She possesses great influence hi political circles, and is a leader in society. This fortunate lady, moreover, maintains intituato relations with tho royal family of Greece, with all of whom she is a great favorite. Dr. Irving J. Mauatt, consul cf the United States of America at Athens, paid Dr.

11 mail this tha evening of the day wo arrived hero from Athens. It was written at eea. The day following hia discourso on Liars' Hill, at Athens, Br. visited II. Tricoupis, premier of Greece, nu honor which resulted in this way: The slater of of tho statesman, who, like him, is unmarried, presides at Ids mansion.

She entertained Mrs. Talrnaga in the morning, when she suggested that the Brooklyn preacher visit her brother, who, she added, would bo delighted to tec him. Accordingly in tho afternoon' Dr. Tal-mage and the writer paid their rer-pocts to the prime minister at the war department. Although a very busv man, hold ing two portfolios and crowded with important mutters, the Greek assembly being in session, 21.

Tricoupis received us very courteously. The Greek premier is man wliosa appearance impresses one that b.e great mental power. Ho lias a nrikingly intellectual countenance, and polished in las manners. His ountrymcn honor and revere hiui to an extraordinary degree, and recent events lir.ro increased the hold he has upon their confidence. I learn Chat his reputation is of the highest for purity in his crucial conduct.

II. Tricoupis would show little mercy in his dealings with "hoodie" politicians. This "modern Aristides," as ho has been aptly called, Epeaks English with fluency. He is accurately informed on American affairs, and highly eulogized several of our statesmen. In his early days, while secretary of the Greek legation at London, ho made the acquaintance of Edward Everett, who was then American minister to England.

IIo now asked Dr. Tallage concerning Mr. Everett's son, who, he had heard, tilled creditably a professorship at one of tho leading colleges. "Edward Everett was the most graceful orator I have ever said M. Tricoupis.

In tho course of conversation the btalcsman manifested a particular interest in Mr. Blaine, whom b.e regarded as a very able man. Ha had no doubt, ho said, that Mr. Harrison would acquit himself creditably. "In fact," continued he, "all your presidents are strong men.

You do not generally place the most promising men in the presidential chair, but once there they develop rapidly, and invariably surpass in statesmanship the most sanguine expectations. That shows the stock and stuff Americans aro made of." In corroboration of this theory he named several presidents of humble origin now endeared to the hearts of the American people, and very feelingly referred to Abraham Lincoln, whom considered to hare been one of the greatest men of tho century, li. Tricoupis was cf the opinion, however, that in America the strongest men never receive tho highest honor, because tho well defined stand they take on leading and burning questions engenders definite and determined opposition. On bidding Dr. Talmago good-by, M.

Tricoupis assured him that he would cheerfully do all in his power to render his stay in Athens as attractive and agreeable as possible. The United States minister, Mr. A. L. Snowden, being absent at Bucharest and our stay ir? Athens but brief, it was apparently not within the range of possibilities for Dr.

Talmago and party to bo presented to the queen. A week or ten days' notice being required to secure an introduction to royalty, we had given up tho expectation of seeing the atniablo queen, when, tho morning after the interview with 21. Tricoupis, Dr. Talmago was informed by that gentleman that he desired to present him and party to the queen. When we arrived at the palace we found that the ex-Empress Victoria, widow of the Emperor Frederick III, vva3 just about to leave Athens, where sho had attended the wedding of her daughter Sophie to the crown prince of (Sreece.

She bowed and smiled very sweetly ca she passed us, although her eyes were filled with tears on her parting with the queen. Id. Tricoupis presented Dr. Tahnage, wife and and daughter and 2Ir. and Mi's.

Louis Klopsch. Queen Olga shook hands with all in the right royal democratic American fashion, and then engaged Dr. Talmago in 1 conversation. Queen Olga saying that she r.in-cerely regretted the disagreeable wind and dustiness of the streets in Athens, the preacher gallantly responded that the great pleasure he experienced in meeting her majesty much more than compensated for the inclemency of the weather. She smiled pleasantly and bowed in recognition of the compliment.

The queen said she had heard that Dr. Talmago was on his way to Palestine, and hoped sincerely that lie and his party would enjoy a safe and pleasant journey. We were all charmed with the simplicity of the queen and the cordial manner in which she received us. Our interview with her was one of the most delightful incidents of the trip, and Dr. Talmago insisted that all the eulogies that he had heard concerning that gracious lady fell short of doing her justice.

It has good buildings and well kept streets, and its Etores appear to be well stocked. My olervation is that tho majority cf it3 population dress very much as wo do.

Of course, houses of' oriental architecture Ft ill exist, and one sees quite a good many people dressed in the quaint attire of tho cast. Niw and then a mountaineer of huge stature, angular and powerful, garbed somewhat like the Highland Scot and armed heavily, stalks proudly by. I suppose, in all cities newly arisen from the dead, so to speak, contrasts are very striking, as tho slow eld Turk at his stall in tho costume of centuries ago and the pert young lady fresh from boarding school, with all the furbelows of the most advanced fashion on her pretty figure, and tho modern policeman and the fierce warrior from the distant mountain region. Tho finest building in Athens, built subsequently to the recovery of Greek national independence, is tho palace, which was completed in 1343. Buildings appropriated to art and education are well built and handsome.

Tho Archas-logical institute, founded by the French government, is a notable structure. Louis Klopsch. KICK. Many thanks for the cigrtr Millard. Quite a number attended tho camp lire at Concordia.

I would like to inform him, but for the present I guess he will have to guess.

In one cf his several interviews with Dr. Talmage, the prcacht? of the Brooklyn Tabernacle said that on his return to the United Slates he should rocommenTl to wealthy people who are desirous of aiding deserving theological students to secure an education, to send them out in groups of ten or twenty on tour such as he is now taking.

"This is one of the grandest cures for dry sermonizing.

Manutt on another occasion, "anything in your travels that will prove of useful interest to you?" "Oh, yes," replied Dr. Talmage, "at every step. 1 have for months been looking among the faces of Christ by great artists for one that I might reproduce in my book.

When in Athens Dr.

Talmage attended a highly interesting lecture delivered by Professor Stanhope Orris, late professor of Creek at Princeton college, and now director of the American school of classical studies at Athens. The American consul presided. Among tho notabilities present were Sir Edmund Mon-8on, tho British minister, and Lady Mon-son; Mr. Haggard, brother of the author of "She;" Count Eutzow, the Russian minister: the Greek poet, Bikelas; the librarian of the Greek senate and others. 'At tho close of tho lecture tho chairman called on several of the guests to make addresses.

In response to tho invitation given him, Dr. Talmago spoko as follows: "I am glad to find in the chair one who has long stood in the front rank of American educators. Indeed, America cannot afford to send to Greece any except her best men, for tho United States government and your country have long been in intimate sympathy. Among tlc most eloquent utterances that rang through America in my childhood days were the words of Henry Clay in behalf of Grecian independence. The afternoon has been to me tin enchantment.
