Mighty Brazil, progressive Argentine and Ohili and every ether country to the south of us would say: ‘If we let American cap- Mtal and Americans into our country we may have the intervention of the United States. Therefore, let none come here. ‘That would be our fate’” Sound and sensible. International justice and commercial good mse must both approve. It is unfortunate that United States citi- "pens doing business in Mexico should have to euffer from the political Fumpus in that country. This government should do everything in ite legitimate power to protect their lives and even so far as may be their interests. * On the other hand, citizens of the United States who go forth to traffic tinder independent foreign governments must, after all, make their own estimate and calculate their own riske as to the stability * Sof those governments.

NO. 60—THE EARL OF LEICESTER. N English nobleman spent $300,000 in seventeen days in court: ise queen. The money was not his own, but had been gained through etate gifts from that ame queen, So the failure of his wooing was less of @ pecuniary loss than it might have been to an ordinary man. ‘The $300,000 lover was Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. He was one lof the handsomest and one of the most irresistible men of his day. His powers of fascination led him through strange adventures. At nineteen he married Amy Robsart, @ pretty country girl, daughter of a rich old Knight. | His father and younger brother were prime movers in a plan to keep | Queen Mary from the Enélish throne. Robert threw in his fortune with | theirs, And as a result he found himself in prison under sentence of death. But Queen Mary soon released him and gave him a Government Position. Shortly afterward she died and her sister Elizabeth became Queen. The new Queen was at once attracted to Robert. His fortunes at court (ook « rapid rise. He even found reason to hope that if no obstacle stvod in the way Queen Hisaveth might marry him. But there was an obstacle—his young wife. A mysterious attempt wis made to potson Amy, It fatled. Then ono day in 1860 she was “discovered” lying at the foot of @ Might of stairs, with a broken neck. Robert, who was at this time about twenty-nine years old, hence- forth advanced more and more readily in the Queen's favor, Elizabeth loaded him with high offices. She made him Earl of Leicester. She gave him the great castle of Kenilworth and many miles of rich land, But she would not marry him. It was at Kenilworth that he spent the $300,000 In entertaining the Queen. Elizabeth was ehrewd—far too shrewd to risk her popularity and power by wedding one of her subjects, And Leicester was forced to-make the best of her sifta and her favor without the hope of becoming Prince Consort. Then he met Lady Dougias Howard, widow of Lord ShefMfeld. Lady Dougies fell violently in tove with Leicester and always declared she had been secretly married to him. The matter of this alleged marriage has never been satisfac- torlly cleared up. Later, the Earl of Essex, Leicester's flerce political opponent, died—supposedly of poison—and Leicester married Eesex's widow, who had long toved him. The marriage was not made public. But word of it came at last to Queen Bilsabeth. In @ fury of Jealousy the Queen dismissed Leicester from court and wae pre- vented with diMfculty from imprisoning him, But hie hoki on the Queen was still strong. And in time che forgave him and took him back into royal favor, Indeed, the rumors that she intended to marry him were revived. She even consulted him as to what fate should be meted out to the captive Mary Queen of Gcots, Leicester advised giving the question of Mary’e captivity by poisoning her.
