Park, with its hedges, lakes, and zoological garden (then
in prospect), of similar institutions elsewhere. A
curiosity here is a woman’s church, conducted entirely

of theology, to put an end to war, and to unite all mankind

neighbour as thyself.” The Spiritualists of New York
likewise have their temple ; and no doubt many other
specialities exist there which we have no desire to
find reproduced in the older country.
After a short stay I returned to England by the
v Java,” one of Cunard’s fastest steamers, and enjoyed
rest and quiet, which was very welcome after a journey
of some 26,000 miles.
