Mr.. Gladstone's Rejection

By the University of Oxford ought to
be matter for congratulati0n instead of
regret. He has been growing in the
grace of liberalism for almost twenty
years; but during most of that time he
was one of the members of the House of
Commons for the University of Oxford
an honorable post, no doubt, and high
ly so in English estimation, but which
operated as drag on his movements
He was first elected in 1S47, and until
1865 Oxford bore with the waywardness,
asshe must have regarded 1t, of her bril-.
liant son, His talents did her honor,
and she condescended to overlook his
political liberalism In consideration Of
his thoroughgoing attachment to her
ecclesiastical sentiments, She allowed
him to coquette with the estate" because
of his fidelity to the Church" ofwhich
he had been q chosen champion from
his youth upward. But this state of
things could not hepermitted to endure.
The bigot in religion must become a
bigot in politics, and the remark is pecu-
liarIy applicable to corporation bigotry.
At the late election Mr.. Claiborne Hardy,
a promising Tory, or Conservative, was
pitted against Mr.. Gladstone by those
Oxonians who could no longer counte-
nance gentleman who had said some-
thing thatapproached to an approval of
universal suffrage only last year. To be
sure Mr.. Gladstone had explained away
most of his suffrage speech, but the To-
ries preferred to take what he had said
in thfafeRf of the moment to his expla-
nations after he had become cool. They
were right, iftheir object was to ascer-
tain what his opinions were, for he is one
of those men who "speak right out,,'
when excited, and then it is that such
men are sure to make no secret of their
views. Mr.. Gladstone had gone 80 far
in the direction of liberalism in 1884,
that his avowal of advanced sentiments
on the suffrage question at that time
would have surprised no inteligent OBJ
server of British politics; but It was the
last drop that filed the cup OF Oxford's
objections to him, and caused 1t to over
flow. He could be spared no longer,
and he was not spared. Faithful to her
ancient standard, that Of aristocracy and
intolerance, the venerable university re-
fused longer to have him for one Of her
members of Parliament, and he was
compelled to look to South Lancashire
for a seat. This was not going so far as
Mr.. Fox had to 60 in LISA, when it was
thought that he might be beaten In the
most famous of Westminster contests,
and was brought in for the Orkney and
Shetland boroughs, which enabled Mr..
pitt TO taunt him with having been
forced to take refuge in Ultima Thule,
because of the part whichhe had had in
| the well-kpown coalition,

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin furnishes the following
at Is not too late to record aninterest-
ing incident that occurred at the il!umi-
nation on the evening of the Fourth of
July, which legal friend good author
ity) and judge in such matters, related
to us as happening under his own eye
He was enjoying the lights and shadows
of the occasion, perhaps listening to the
melody of some fair one by his side,
when, loud as Biddy bewailing her lost
heir comes these notes of erief--"NIy
God! where is the mother of this baby?

Our friend stepped up to learn the
cause of this strange outcry.

said the speaker "handed me the baby
to hold for just one moment, and, by

a baby?. can't keep this - thing?n
Just then, as the air was lighted by
the glare ola rocket, young couple who
had manifested an unwonted interest in
The matter, attracted the attention of the
possessor of the baby. The moistened
eye and quivering lip of the female
showed how, her woman's heart was
working and yearning over the aban-
doned little one; and to them, with the
quick instinct Of the Green Isle, the
holder of this treasure trove addressed
himself:

The Lion Of Saratoga.

A correspondent at Saratoga writes as
follows of John Morrissey, whom the
almighty dollar has developed from a
pugilist to become lion at Saratoga,
among the worshippers at Mammon's
shrine.
Among all the civilians here, the
learned, the pious and the immensely
rich, there is none SO conspicuous as
John Morrissey. He has become
power at Saratoga. His purse has been
freely opened for its pecuniary benefit.
The races which he inaugurated, taking
$1,000 stock in track admitted to be
one of the finest in the world, brings
hosts of people and many thousands Of
dollars to Saratoga annually; at the
same time he came to the relief of the
county at time when the county bonds
were going begging, and took $40, 900
of them. As matter of course, there
fore, it was an idle rumor which said
that the village police or authorities
contemplated raid on Morrissey's ele-
CANT "club" houses. There are two of
these, directly opposite each other, lust
north IF the grounds of the late United
States. They are splendid buildings and
furnished gorgeously, especially the gem
tlemen's club house, which is reserved
for amateurs, who follow
gaming as pastime, as contradistin.
guisbed from the sports who follow it
for q livelihood, and who are confined
to their operations to the rooms across
the street. The club house sets an ele.
giant table every day, and prominent
gentlemen habitually dine and wine
there gratis, in preference to the hotels.

rissey's financial affairs, says be is worth
about SS50,000," ~
