ANECDOTE OF DISRAELL—Disraeli was, the other
night, descanting upon readers at a party of the literati
given by Mr. Gladstone. The right hon. gentleman
divided them into four classes : the first he compared to
an hour glass, their reading being as the sand—it runs
in and•out, and leaves not a vestige behind. A second
class, he said, resembled a sponge—which imbibed every-
thing, and returns it in nearly the same state, only a
little dirtier. A third class he likened to a jelly-bag:—
which allows all that is pure to pass away, and retains
only the refuse and the dregs. The fourth class he
compared to the slaves in the diamond mines of
Golconda, who, casting aside all that is worthless,
preserve only the pure geni*.—Scott, he said, should be
read in an apartment hung with relics of the feudal
ages, and. lighted by windows painted with heraldic
ornaments, seated in an elaborately carved, high-backed
old chair ; Moore, in a bower of vine leaves intermixed
with roses; Wordsworth, on the margin of some rip-
pling stream or lake; Milton, in some sequestered nook
of an old cathedral, whose dim religious light har-
monises with the lofty and sublime musings of the 'great
Christian poet. As to Shakepere—the sea
Melbourne,shorthe
green shades of the forest, the busy resorts.of the town,
all those spots which Disraeli claims for others, could be
successively claimed for Shakspere for all have inspired
hie universal genius.—Court Circular.

second communication with the Victorian and South
Australian stations at Echuea. The new direct Adelaide
line will, if carried out, follow the Murray River to the
eastern frontier of South Australia, and will avoid Vic-
toria altogether. It is proposed to purchase the line from
Deniliquin to Echuea, constructed by a private company,
as it is considered desirable that the Government should
have the control of it when the new communication
contemplated with Deniliquin is established. It is
also intended to ask for a vote of £6,000 for they exten-
sion of the western line to Mudgee, and £45,000 for a line

to attract an audience, but' all in vain. At last she fell
into distress, arid Mme. Rayau, the owner of a furnished
room which she occupied, not only turned her out of
doors for net paying the rent, but seized on her clothes
and effects, ineludinc, a guitar. The poor artiste thus
found hersel not only destitute, but deprived of one of the

she accompanied herself. - Her counsel maintained that
the seizure of the instrument was' illegal, inasmuchas it

president, coinciding in that view of the question,
