MR. CARLYLE AND MR. DISRAELI-801M Con-
servative journals have referred to Mr. Carlyle's contribu-
tion to Macmillan of this month as being substantially a
plea in favour of their party, but the following extract
will show that the philosopher's censure is impartially
distributed. Onr fall over Niagara (he says) has been
brought on by traitorous politicians, grasping at votes ;
" one cannot but consider them traitorous ; and for one's
own poor share, would rather have been shot than been
concerned in it." 'Yet perhaps it is as well the
settlement should have come at once ero the sum
of our sins had increased yet further. Nay, " have not I a
kind of secret satisfaction, of the malicious or even of the
judiciary kind (schadrefrevik—mischief-joy the Germans
call it, bat really it is justier•joy withal) that he they call
'Dizzy Dizzy' is to do it ; that other jugglers of an unconscious
and deeper type, having sold their poor Mother's body for
a mess of Official Pottage, this clever conscious juggler
steps in, ' Soft, you, my honourable friends ; I will weigh
out the corpse of your mother (mother of mine she never
was, but only stepmother and milk-cow), and you shan't
have the pottage ; not yours, you observe, but mine: This
really is a pleasing trait of its sort.' "

The Empress of Austria has accepted the
patronage of the exhibition of articles and apparatus for
the wounded on the field of battle, and has sent a contri-
bution of 3,000 fr. in aid of that international work.
The Princess Alice of Hesse-Darmstadt has
taken the initi►tive for the establishment of a charitable
institution at Darmstadt. The object of the association is
to tend the wounded and sick soldiers in time of war and
the education of the sick in time of peace. Tie Princess
Alice is very popular throughout the Grand Duchy.
The artists who assisted at the great musical
festivals at the Paris Exhibition during the last few
weeks have all left to return to their homes. These per-
formers, vocal and instrumental, numbered in all 30,000,
while 400,000 composed the aggregate of the audiences on
these occasions. Fourteen thousand were present at the
festival incidental to the distribution of prize by tte
Emperor. The different orpbeonic societies, of which
France numbers 272, have done much in the way of
charitable assistance to the poor, having distributed
amongst them during the last few years nearly two mil-
lions of francs.

A great number of medical gentlemen from all
parts of Europe, and some from India and the colonies,
are now in Dublin attending the meeting of the British
Medical Association. The proceedin;e will extend over a
week, and among the subjects for discussion are several
novel and most important discoveries and theories in
medicine, surgery, and the cognate sciences. Dr. Stoker,
relent, professor of medicine in the Dublin University, is
the president.
