Plepoit, ligii The news of Mr.' Peabody's death, says the Times, will be received with no common sorrow on bi)th sides Of the Atlantic. The sentiment of regret`Will not be a mere pass ing tribute of gratitude to the munificent benefactor. Mr. Peabody, throughout the course of a long life, has been accumulating manifold titles to be lamented. He was an ardent patriot, who was loved abroad as much as at home. He was a New Englander, who, when the South was bowed down to the dust, stepped forward with two mil lions of dollars and claimed the right to succour it. No courtier, he was honoured by Sovereigns and Princes. He was profuse in his charity, but his charity has pauperised nobody. He was a philanthropist who was liked as well as honoured. There was nothing hard or nothing narrow about Mr. Peabody's philanthropy. He simply did whatever good came in his way. Wherever an occasion presented itself for a generous and benevolent action, there was he found with purse in hand, eager to aid. When his adopted State of Maryland was in sore pecuniary straits he repaid it for having afforded him a home by negotiating a loan for it free of cost; When the ' American Department at the Great Exhibition was in danger of appearing on the day of opening a mere chaos ( f unassorted goods. Pis contribution of £3,000 was ready to save his countrymen from even a passing mortification. When a faint hope awoke in America that survivors of Sir John Franklin's expedition might be rescued, Mr. Peabody's subsidy consummated the generous enterprise of Mr. Grinnell. His vast gifts of millions of dollars for various purposes from 1856 downwards dazzled the world. It looked upon such generosity as a sort of sudden meteor. But a survey of Mr. Peabody's career shews that all this was but the natural crown and blossom of a life of consistent munificence. He was a discoverer, and of something a good deal more precious than the chilling Arctic deserts which his money helped to explore, and which bear his name. What he has discovered is a new motive for heaping together wealth —the pleasure of giving it away. The posthumous devo tion of wealth to charitable uses is an elaborate device for keeping hold of it still, and for remaining with it : but the world sees little connection between such bequests and the testator. Mr. George Peabody, in abdicating all pro perty in his riches while living, has made it impossible to dissociate his identity from them now that he is dead. Every fresh token of the utility of his benevolence must tend to excite affection for his memory. The Standard declares that Mr. Gladstone has done wonders. He has been in office barely nine menths, and he has twice " reorganised" the Treasury. Reorganisation is an unobjectionable word; what it exactly means, taken at its best, it might puzzle very clever people to apprehend; but as a euphemism for "jobbery" it is perfect, and the jobbers of the present and coming generations ought to feel a lively gratitude to the Premier for introducing it. Mr. W. H. Gladstone, the Premier's son, has been made a salaried Lord of the Treasury. Now we should not have offered a word of hostile criticism against this appointment of Mr. W. H. Gladstone if his father and his friends had not so vehemently challenged it. If the present Prime Minister had been content to follow without any outcry the precedents of the Governments of which he has formed part, and appoint Lords of the Treasury for the reasons upon which Lords of the Treasury have been appointed by those Governments, not a word would have been urged against Mr. W. H. Gladstone's appointment. The Govern ment has declared that Lordships of the Treasury are very important berths. It put one of the best men of its party into one and doubled the salary because there was so much for him to do. Will Mr. Lowe pretend that Mr. W. H. Gladstone can supply Mr. Stansfeld ? Will any organ of the Government be kind enough to explain what Mr. W. H. Gladstone's duties are ? One organ of the Government has at tempted beforehand to excuse this appointment, and with singular infelicity represents officials of marked authority as forcing upon Mr. Gladstone this appointment of his son to a lucrative position. Poor civil servants! To be described as guilty of such a disgraceful servility, and to be altogether unable to repudiate it! But public opinion will certainly do justice to this impudent state ment. We have nothing to say against the appointment of Mr. Gladstone, jun., to a sinecure office, for which he is as competent as anybody else ; but we do protest against a re-organisation of the Treasury to give this appointment a pretence of honesty ; and we sincerely regret that Mr. Gladstone, sen., should have allowed a newspaper, which it Is no secret, is directly inspired by him to put forward this weak excuse of a pressure in favour of that appoint ment from officials of marked authority. The t elegraph, in referring to the proposal to erect a monument in Scotland to Dr. Chalmers, observes that ho ai east, not in a Scotch, but in a European, mould. He was one of those gifted naitves who would have been con spicuous under any circumstances and in any sphere. His attainments in mathematics and in natural philosophy suffice to show that, had he yielded to the bent of his early inclinations, and confined his energies within the channel of science, he might have achieved distinction in such walks as those of Playfair and Black. Theology, although he lent to the study only a fractioU of his time, would alone have sufficed to make his name famous. In oratory he had uo superior, although his ago was that of Irving, and Hall, of Canning, and Plunket. It is the organisa tion of the Free Church, however, that remains the chief monument of Chalmers's statesmanlike power. The task which awaits Archbishop Trench and his colleagues is trivial in comparison with that performed by Chalmers and his fellow-seceders from the Scottish Establishment. At the disruption the Free clergy left church, and school, and home. Not a penny of endowment did they take with them, not a single "manse" remained to give them shelter, not a church to worship in ; and in some cases so hostile were the landlords to the disruption party that they would not give sites for - new churches, and thus forced congregations to worship on the seashore between high-water and low water mark—a part of the beach which belongs, not to the local proprietors, but to the Crown. It was under those circumstances that Chalmers organised a new Church body, drew up codes of rules, raised vast sums of money, built hundreds of churches, " manses," and schools, and formed a sustenta tion fund which would serve in the place of national endowments. Never was such a triumph achieved in so short a time by the voluntary zeal of any body of Chris- tians. The Free Church of Scotland is the real monument of Chalmers's genius ; but the credit of his countrymen demands that they should offer to his memory the custc mary token of bronz3 or marble. The Daily _Yews remarks that the disagreement between the predicted height of tides and the level to which they actually attain is perhaps one of those circumstances which modern science cannot at present hope to deal with satisfactorily. The astronomer can calculate with the utm: exactness what part the sun and moon will take in swaying the waters of the earth, but the winds are beyond the range of scientific prediction. Still, it may be ques tioned whether there is not still room for improvement in the treatment of the tides. Observation and theory have done much, but the very magnitude of the labours which Whewell, Lubbock, and others have quite recently accomplished, shews that the subject is one of those which will bear a good deal of re-investigation. Besides, the whole theory of the tides is in an unsatisfactory and unsettled state. Quite lately, at a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, no less an authority than the Astronomer-Royal chewed that the account given, in ordinary text-books is the direct reverse of the truth ; and Newton and Laplace came to precisely the same conclusion. Yet the prediction of tides is founded on the popular theory; and facts, too, as every one knows, are by no means accordant with the views of the three eminent astronomers just named. Altogether, we may fairly doubt whether the phenomena of the tides can be looked upon as among those which men of science have fairly mastered. The loyal old County of Devon has of late, says the Post, been brought into somewhat rude contact, in more ways than one, with what is popularly but vaguely called the spirit of the age. More intensely Conservative in its instincts and traditions throughout the upper and middle classes than any other part of England, it preserves to this day prejudices which elsewhere have left scarcely a trac' behind. It is not yet many years since the late Mr. Thackeray was almost refused a hearing in Exeter when he came to deliver his lectures on the " Four Georges." On the topics ef the day which are most interesting to Devonshire Sir John Coleridge has been touching, in an address to the " Newton Abbot Agricultural and Labourers' Friend Association "—a !Arne which, with his fastidious car and mastery of pure English, he must have felt strongly tempted to beg the labourers and their friends to change. The Solicitor-General may be regarded as the Chief Apostle of Liberalism in the West, and Liberalism could scarcely desire a better. On the questions into which he did enter, as far as on such an occasion he could be ex pected to enter into questions at all, Sir John Coleridge was as happy as he usually is, and had every right to speak. His few, sholt, heartfelt words of commendation on Dr. Temple will, we trust, be read everywhere, and especially in Devon shire. On the question of education, again, of which Sir John Coleridge speaks most rightly and truly when ha says that a "greet and thorough system of national educa tion is the one great necessity of the time," no man has a better claim on public attention. It is for him, who in this matter is thoroughly at home, and for others like him, to suggest, if they can, and to propagate wherever they may, the practical remedies which should be applied to that deficiency of solid training and systematic education which we fear, in all classes AR,4l94.4lZijkAiiiiii
