minded that there is a limit to the heat and passion of
political warfare. No man excites a more peculiar kind of
anger among his opponents in the ordinary course of political
conflict than Mr. Gladstone. He is ill, and all censure is
silenced. No voice is heard but that of respectful sympathy
and kindly solicitude. Lord Beaconsfield sends a distin-
guished messenger to ask after the health of his great
rival. The late First Lord of the Admiralty, on his way to
a meeting held to denounce the policy of the Go-
vernment, stops at Downing-street to inquire after
the chief of the Government. Receiving an unfavour-
able answer, he feels that "it would be unbecoming
of him to discuss the conduct or actions of a statesman
then lying on a sick bed." It is not every prominent states-
man who impresses even his bitterest adversaries, as Mr.
Gladstone impresses them, with a sense of greatness and a
certain distinction not easy to define, that makes him a
unique figure in political history.
In truth it would have been a miracle if Mr. Gladstone
had not broken down. People as a rule hardly realize the
position of an English Premier who insists on attending to
all his duties. They are more or less aware of the multi-
plicity and gravity of the affairs which claim his attention.
lint they do not sufficiently consider the conditions under
which his duties have to be performed, Not only has the
Prime Minister to do the most harassing work in the world
but he has to do it under the most harassing circumstances.
In the intervals of his departmental work he has to attend to
a large miscellaneous correspondence. He cannot escape, from
a certain amount of fatiguing ceremony. He must guide the
deliberations of the Cabinet. He is casssulted by his
colleagues on all sorts of important points. An ordinary
man finds it too much PA: him to keep pace with the rapid
development of only One of the great questions of the day.

THE YALTA or CIIANGE or ScELNE.--To the majoril
of us life is most frightfully monotonous. A -
round of duties has a depressing effect bot on
body and mind. It welries us day by day to see
same faces, view the same things, hear the
voices, smell the same odours, listen to and talk
same platitudes. After long experience at home
know exactly how the tea will taste, how the sirk.
of beef is likely to be served up, what probabihl
there is of the mutton being tough or the steak und(
done. We know, too, exactly what the wife will
when we come home, and the exact tone in which
will say it. When people live together day after (
month after month, and year after year, they find
very difficult to find subjects for profitable conver

that arrives change of thought; and with that,

To go for change of air is, or ought to be, an e.

WHAT WILL TIBET DO NEXT 7—An English gent
man at the Uffizi Gallery (says the London Figaro)
was admiring the. ancient bronzes representing .
of the finest specimens of Etruscan art, when he
accosted by an Anglo-Saxon : "What's this, mister?
and as he spoke he rang a statue of Mercury with
horny knuckles. "That's Mercury." The re
gazed for amoment with open mouth at the bre-
representation of the messenger of the gods, so
beckoned to a companion at the other end of
cabinet, to whom he said, "Jim, what do you
ose that 'ere figger is?" "1 dunno," respo
in turn giving it a sounding rap, "bronze, labia
it?" "No," said the other, "'taint; it's quicksilver?)
" Wha-at ! the stuff they put in thermometers,

after another long look the couple moved on, deeplg
impressed with the wonders of art.
A SLIGHT MISTAKE.---" Great wits are sure to

Humboldt's " Wanderjahre," aptly demonstrates boo'
readily even so keen an observer as the great Gerrt?l3'
traveller may mistake a genius for a lunatic. Duro*
one of his many sojourns in Paris, Humboldt, wb°,
took a deep interest in the mysteries of mental
aberration, conceived
ed a desire to converse intimate

with some incorrigible maniac, and requested one 04,

THE FRUIT CROPS.—The Garden publishes accounts
of the state of the fruit crops collected from all Rats,.
of the kingdom. "From these," it says, "it will
seen tha ithe English fruit crop this year may, broadly
speaking, be considered to be a failure. Apples' wit°
the exception of a few kitchen kinds, are a light crop,
so much so that orchards in some districts are almo.st
fruitless, a remark that applies as much to cider fruits
as to other varieties. Pears are a little better, but
these are also a poor crop, not only in this coun'
but also in the Channel Islands, from which we usi
get such fine Chaumontels. Stone fruits, with
exception of plums and cherries, are a failure, o,
to the wood having been imperfectly ripened
year. Plums of the Victoria class are plentiful, biltj
the same can hardly be said of damsons, which are noil
generally a heavy crop. Small fruits of all sorts 511
abundant, especially gooseberries, of which, wh.-
not attacked by caterpillar, there are enormous crops.
The potato crop is stated to be generally good, but N 1
may add that since the reports came to hand outbreaks
of disease in one or two places have been recorded."
GIFT OF A FREE LIBRARY.—A letter has been re•
ceived by ex-Provost Mattheson, Dunfermline, frota
Mr. Andrew Careigie, New York, stating that
intends to increase the offer formerly made by hita
namely, of giving £5,000 for providing his natiVe
town with a fsee library—to £B,OOO, so as to inclue
the costs (estimated'at £4,000) of erecting a suital
building for the library and for a set of reading
recreation rooms in connexion therewith.

THE BISHOP'S RETORT. —The late Bishop ,
occasionally took a quiet day's shooting over a nL
bouring estate. He once chided the keeper for not
going to church, and the man admitted the fact, but
pleaded that ke always read his Bible on Sunda,'

the Bishop; "you are quite right, but that was F

The total value of the prizes amounted to £2,617.
