WHAT THE WORLD BAY&

When Lord Beaconsfield went with such mold-state to
visit the Queen at Osborne, people speculated in sin as
to the mum of the Premier's sojourn in the Isle of Wight
It was not • very element Tint at all A little bird
whisPers that there wem @sesta very private aidiences ;
that the Premier carried with him all the horrible revela-
tions gleaned by the Rhodope COMllbleioll ; that her
Majesty insisted on learning all the harrowing dstalls of
Etonian atrocities on Turkish women ; and that tie effect
on the Sovereign teas just a ackening as upin the
Commissioners themselves Furthermore, I am title to
say that it is by express desire of the Queen that ;bong
representritions are to be made to St. Petersburg, withers
was some talk of a Royal autograph letter on the subject
Touching them some revelations, ' hey should hove been
In the hands of the edlto $ of the daily n.wipsp.zi • seak
ago, when they were actually printed and ready for distaiba-
tion. Whiware they not then published They my at the
Foreign because It was deemed only inlite to
acquaint his Majesty the Emperor of Runt& with the
ohmmeter of the revelations, and to take the opinion of the
other Powers represented in the Commission before raising
another storm of indignation la Europe

"Lord Brag" is the name by which Lord Bimoonsfield is
best known by M. Gambetta and the Gambettista lust
now in Paria Two »aro is the time which M. Gambetta
miens to our Prime Minister before England wakes
from her trims' When this interval expires, M. Gsmbetta
predicted with charming confidence in conversation the
other day, 'England will be hopelessly embarrassed by her
annexalaonn, and your working classes desperate against
over-taxation and militaryism. You will hare taken
Egypt, we shall have taken Tunis: nor shall we grudge
you the acquisition, because we know perfectly well that
the bill will drive John Bull to madness, and your working
claret will be ripe for revolution and the Repuolic."
Referring to the Proposed elevation of Mr. Wills to the
Bench in place of Mr. Justice Mellor, how is it that the
Government have not thought of Wrenn( the »Putt east
to Sir Iritajantea Stephen! His promotion would add
strength to the judicial Bench where at Prsesnt it it
weakest, via., criminal law.

While wishing the Prince cd Wales all possible meow
In his spirited endeavour to introduce grouse on the
Sandringham moors, I have my doubts as to HBHs
snisete of success. I know dud Sir Thomas ILdand has
been at no mall pains and expense In trying to introduce
grow* on Exmoor. But hitherto all his efforts have been
unsuccessful, and I believe he has Iren up the attempt as
hopeless. It Is said that the right sort of heather for
grouse doss not grow on Exmoor. Th.rii fa, however, •
good sprinkling of black mune on Sr Thomas Acland's
moon. There Is no game whatever on Denture", though
I have beard it maintained that grouse might do well
there, as they do not mind damp, and the heather Ls said
to be better suited to them than on the more northern
Devon moor.

Fortune is not favouring the daily journals through the
present silly swan. There is no Bravo Case, no Detec-
tive Trial, no Penge Mystery, no Smallpox Hospital
Inquiry, to fill up the yearning columns, as has been the
seee in former years. The rerun is melancholy in the
extreme. The New is unreadable, as the TaegriPa
would be were it not for Kr. fialea amusing letters from
Pans. As no foxes are to be found, the editors try to run
a drag; the oracle of Peterborough-court netting oil 11l
old friend 'fl. Clerks' Grievance," and the professor of
Arabic in Printin4-Flousesquire unikiNs a feeble attempt
with "Physician, Fees.' Nothing could be more absurd
than some of the kitten which this last coutionony has
called forth. Doctors receive infinitely WO in propor-
tion than all other skilled men who exercise a much
smaller Iniiieuce over the wellkUng of Mad fellow
creatures. As • body they us generous and liberal to •
degree—in innumerable news give their time isail sartima
gratuitously—nod certainly are well worthy of the two-
guinea fee which the grumbling patient would not
hesitate to spend upon the dinner or the debauch which
brings him bowling to the dertoes door.
