:)erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful

guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth

SIR B. B. LYTTON AND THE LORD RFCTORSHIP

OF GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.

GLASGOW, Nov. 21.
Mr. Maenaughton, the secretary of the Conservative
Club, has this forenoon received the following letter and
enclosure from Sir E. Bul wer Lytton, relative to the
late election of Lord Rector of the University. There
is reason to believe that Sir Ed ward will visit Glasgow
for the purpose of being installed at an early date, at all
events before the meeting of Parliament :
" Ventnor, Isle of Wight, Nov. 18.
"Sir, _All me to return you my best thanks for
being the first to communicate to me, through telegraph,
the gratifying news of the high distinction so unexpect-
edly conferred upon me by the students of your illus-
trious university. Atd if I aid not acknowledge your
considerate courtesy, it was simply because I deemed it
a necessary point of etiquette to wait for the more for-
mal communication of the Principal, and address to
him, as the representative of the university, the first ex-
pression of my gratitude for an honour which no one
can appreciate more highly than I do.
" I now owe my especial thanks to those friends
whose esteem and zeal have secured my election. Allow
me to convey those thanks personally to yourself, and,
through you, to all who have aided to bestow on me so
prized, though unmerited an honour.
" Only a day before I received your despatch Lord
Stanley addressed to me a letter, which does him so
much credit—for that modesty which so often accom-
panies signal merit—that it seems due to his lordship
and friends to enclose it to you. It will serve to console
these who were his warmest partisans for the preference
which I owe to yourself and my other friends, and may
perhaps allay every disturbing element of irritation
which a contested election sometimes rouses, even in
minds the most philosophically composed.
" Believe me, yours truly and gratefully,
" E. BULWEN LYTTON."

The following is the letter referred to by Sir E. B.
Lytton :

" Knowsley, Nov. 13.
"Dear Sir Edward,--I hear, on newspaper authority
only, but with some certainty, that it ha,, been proposed
to put me forward as a candidate for the Lord Rector-
F.hip of the University of Glasgow, you being also in the
field.

" If I had any means of communication with the
gentlemen who are thus using my name, I should, with
all courte.y and gratitude to them, protest against the
itnplied rivalry.
" Snch honours are the fit rewards of intellectual pre-
eminence, and ought to be bestowed on no other
th
'ith"- More than this--they should be reserved for who
have achieved distinction, not conferred by
way Of encouragement en those who are only seeking it.
makinnsekd
eit'lli
ha you, therefore, clearly to understand that I
p„alerf ye encouraged, nor shall encourage, the pro-
they fgw
authne• f" name as a candidate. Nothing, except the
channel of communication, prevents me from
"wn this opihion to my too partial friends, be
... e _ or many, in Glasgow.
