BETWEEN TWO NATIONS.
Te is difficult to realise that this place is only a' night's Journey from London. All around speaks of a different life, a life në more French than Enelish, but possessing a distinctiveness of its own. The Breton peasant works in the felds in his characteristic garb. The houses rising in sharp terraces from `the sea bespeak in their proportion a goodly prosperity. The old forts and great sea wails and embankments tell of mediaval fighting days, Sprung from old France, long member of the household of England, Jersey stands between both, a ming-| ling of the sister nations.
The stranger who comes to Jersey for the first time must be careful not to fall into certain cominn mistakes, Húst he must not suppose that Jersey and her near neighbour Guernsey have anything is common. *uch an idea is scouted by both. A deadly and long standing rivalry exists between the two isles. For centuries at has been a point of bonour with them to differ in everythi g. Fach has its own, Lieutenant-Governor, its own administration, and its own ways. The Jurats and Heiliffs of Jersey have no more authority over Guernsey than over the Isle of Mant
• THE, CONQUEROR OF ENGLAND. Nor must the stranger imagine that Jersey is in any way subject in England, it is, une that the Duke - Nommandy, who chanced to be over-lord of the island, conquered England. But, as your jersey man argues with invincible logic, the conquest of England by their ruler did not make England cor queror of them, bui rather the reverse.
