LORD BEACONSFIELD'S GOODS AND
CHATTELS.

There is something almost melancholy in the di.
persion of the late Lord Beaconsfield s goods sad
chattels. The treasures which that famous statesman
had collected in the course of years have been brought
under the merciless hauunar of the auctioneer.
Possibly the most notable feature of the sale was this
rush for the wines which the Lord of liughenchen
prized so much. The late earl's polithal opponent&
may make a litttle capital out of the circumstance
that his " Cyprus " wide sold for fortptive Müllint
per dozen. The crowning price, however was reached
for "a dozen and three pints of carte dos," •hich
was bought by Lord Hadoington at two nuoired
shillings a dozen, or nearly a sovereign per pint isittle.
Persons fond of figures way exercise their ingenuity io
finding out how much a mouthful this price represent,,
how much a sip, how much a 'smell," and how much
a wink. It ought to be • good wine at the price.
Some of the sherries fetched prices but little in advance
of the "dinner sherries" of cheap firms. The sliver,
however, fetched long figures, one old lot of Dutch,
bringing four guineas an oz.
