interim, devoting himself to charitable works. He 

 was asked to resume his former offices in conjunc- 

 tion with Prince Ching. Years and sickness had 

 impaired his energy, and repugnance to holding in- 

 tercourse with barbarian diplomatists kept him away 

 from the meetings of the Tsung-li- Yamen, as well as 

 unwillingness to connect himself with disasters and 

 defeat. He thereupon took no active part in the 

 counsels of the Yamen or in the peace negotiations. 



Lewis, Thomas Hayter, an English architect, 

 born in London, July 9, 1818 ; died there, Dec. 10, 

 1898. He was articled to Joseph Parkinson, the 

 architect, and was subsequently a pupil of Sir Wil- 

 liam Tite's. In 1841-'42 he traveled through Prance, 

 Germany, Italy, Sicily, and Greece, and many of 

 his architectural sketches made at this time were 

 published in the " Dictionary of the Architectural 

 Publication Society." The first building of im- 

 portance designed by him was the Alhambra, in- 

 tended for the use of a scientific institution, the 

 Panopticon. In 1865 he became Professor of Archi- 

 tecture at University College, London, and in 1871 

 was made dean of the faculty of arts. On his re- 

 signing his professorship in 1881 he was made pro- 

 fessor emeritus. The south wing of the university 

 buildings was designed by him, but he was not re- 

 sponsible for the additions made in the present dec- 

 ade. He contributed the articles on ancient and 

 modern architecture in the ninth edition of the 

 " Encyclopaedia Britannica " and published in 1888 

 a work on " The Holy Places of Jerusalem." In 

 1894 he contributed an appendix on Byzantine

 opinions on architectural matters were held in great 

 esteem by his contemporaries.

Louise, Queen of Denmark, born in Cassel, Sept. 

 7, 1817; died in Copenhagen, Sept. 29, 1898. She 

 was the third daughter of Wilhelm, Landgrave of 

 Hesse-Cassel, by Princess Louise Charlotte, daughter 

 of Frederick, Prince of Denmark. She was edu-.( 

 cated in Denmark, where her father served in thfl 

 army, becoming proficient in languages and in mu- 

 sic and painting. On May 26, 1842, she was married 

 to Prince Christian of Holstein-Sonderburg-Gliicks- 

 berg. Until her husband was declared heir appar- 

 ent in 1882 they lived in somewhat straitened cir- 

 cumstances in Copenhagen. They kept away from 

 the frivolous court of Frederick VII, and educated 

 their children on enlightened principles, paying 

 particular attention to riding and gymnastics. 

 These children all made great marriages in time, 

 Prince Christian to Princess Louise of Sweden, 

 Princess Alexandra to the Prince of Wales, the King 

 of the Hellenes to the Grand Duchess ( Uga. IVim-ess 

 Dagmar to the Czar Alexander 111. Princess Thy "a 

 to the Duke of Cumberland, and Prince Waldemir 

 to the Princess Marie of Orleans, daughter of the 

 Due de Chartres. Prince Christian became King 

 of Denmark on Nov. 15, 1863. Queen Louise, by 

 her attractive ways and unfailing tact, helped to 

 gain the willing allegiance of the 1 lanes for tie 

 "protocol prince" who had been imposed on them 

 from outside. She was a model of all the domestic 

 virtues, and retained through life her youthfulm ss 

 of mind and appearance. She was credited with 

 exercising considerable influence in political matters. 

 In Germany she was supposed to have had a largje 

 share in bringing about the Franco-Russian alli- 

 ance, and the avoidance of a rupture between Eng- 

 land and Russia has been attributed by some to 

 consideration for her feelings.
