"Precisely; the name of your inn, perhaps, suggests " "I change all that soon I call it Anglo-American hotel." "Ah! yes; you are very up-to-date already." He closed one eye and smiled. Having passed a few more compliments, we saluted and walked on; and, coming presently to the edge of the cliff, lay down on the thyme and the crumbled leaf-dust.
The Italian said nothing, but his lips moved, and his lowering brow was as expressive as words could be to his old comrade. It boded ill for Jefferson. They had met in fair fight, and he, Toro, had been defeated. That defeat was as bitter as gall to him. He would be avenged. And if he could not cope with the doughty Anglo-American, then let him look to it.
We now demand increased supplies of cotton and sugar, and then reprobate the means our American brethren adopt to supply our wants. We claim a right to speak about this evil, and also to act in reference to its removal, the more especially because we are of one blood. It is on the Anglo-American race that the hopes of the world for liberty and progress rest.

There is one form of colonisation that will be successful, and that is the gradual moving down southward of the people of the United States. When the destiny of Mexico is fulfilled, with one stride the Anglo-American will bound to the Isthmus of Panama, and Central America will be filled with cattle estates, and with coffee, sugar, indigo, cotton, and cacao plantations.
In nothing are the national traces more distinctly marked than in the different styles of architecture. In the American quarter you have tall brick dwellings, several stories in height, their shining fronts half occupied with rows of windows, combining the light and ornamental with the substantial and useful. This is typical of the Anglo-American.
