Personnel Of the New English Minis
try,

The following short sketches may not be
without interest to such. of our readers who
still believe that the power of Great Britain
is moi. .quitea thing of the past:
Earl of Derby, the Premier, is sixty-seven
years of age, and has been in politics all his
life, and has been the recognized leader of
the Conservatives since 1916.
Althoagha thorough bred aristocrat he is
one of the most amiabls4of men, and one of
the few first rate speakers in England. In
early life, when known as Lord Stanley, he
was Liberal but left their ranks very soon
!. Lord Stanley, his eldest son, forty years
old, has been recognized as the leader of the
Liberal Conservatives in the House of Com
mons for the last ten years. His mind has
been expanded by travel in every portion of
the globe.
Mr.. D'Israeli has always hadoto contend
against the prejudices of the upper classes
from the fact of his father, Israel DIsraeli
author of Curiosities of Literature, having
been convert from Judaism, the Hebrew
element being very apparent in the physiog-
nomy of his son. D'Israeli is more feared
than loved by his aristocratic associates and
followers, and it is very generally believed
that he has still special fondness for the
Pentateuch. He is in his sixty first year.
Mr.. Wal -ole, year younger than the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, is, or rather
was, before he accepted Office, NJ. p for Cam
bridge University, and has been twice before
Home Secretary under Earl Derby Mr.
WalPole is country gentleman, of large prop
erty and influence, but heavy man in every
way.
General Peel is brother of the late and
uncle to the present Sir Robert Peel, has had
experience in the Office of War Secretary,
having filed it before, but is poor debater
and with little weight in the House of Cons
mons. He was borr. in 1799. go.
Sir John Pakingtoh IS an old country har-
onet and magistrate, who has been member
of the House of Commons from boykood, and
has a great deal of influence there ever what
are known as country members. He is the
same age as General Peel, and like him. hae
been in Office twice before
The Duke of Buckingham, better known
in this country, which he visited, as Marquis
of Chandos, is perhaps the best man in the
Cabinet, after the Premier and D'Israeli.-
He is considered first rate man of business,
has been very successful chairman of one of
the largest English railroads, and has endeared
himself to the people by the way in which he
beggared himself ito pay debts incurred by
his father. Why such man should be
shelved by making him President of the Coun-
Gil, is certainly puzzling, this berth, and a
snug one it is, being generally reserved for
some high-born, wealthy old fogy, like the
late Lord Landsdowneyfor instance.

Made Happy under Protest--A Reluo-
tant Bridegroom,

The man who is wretched on the "happiest
day OF his life, must be unfortunately cir.
cumstanced. The man who, Immediately
after the ceremony is performed which binds
MN to beautiful woman, coolly takes his
hat and politely bids his bride permanent
"good evenings" evidently does not appreciate
the bliss resulting from marriage ceremony.
Ihls piece OF unappreciatiYe coolness was
transacted by gentleman of our city on
wednesday evening. On that evening,
wedding transpired under circumstances that
caused considerable quiet commotion among
quite large circle of our citizens. The
bridegroom is gentleman quite extensively
known among our business men, The bride
IS lady who has been somewhat largely known
IN society. The acquaintance between the
parties commenced considerable time ago,
and ripened speedily into intimacy The in
lmacy grew to attachment, and their love
was unfortunate. A considerable period
elapsed between the time when the wedding
should have taken place and the time when It
actually occurred. The bridegroom was
strongly disposed to delay it still longer, but
the friends of the lady decided that the cere.
mony must take place, and must take place
on Wednesday evening. The gentleman in
question had been for some days out of the
city, and was expected back on Wednesday.
SA40 Ndy eSHSTdl OF JlC gentlemen
friends of the lady were present at the depot
waiting for the expected arrival At length
the gentleman came, but unseen by the
watchers, and proceeded quietly to his board
ing house, where he sat down in peace to his
supper. Before he had finished lis meal. he
Was"summoned to the door to meet a gentle-
man. The visitor proved to be the brother
OF the lady in question. A conversation en-
sued, during which the brother asked his ac-
qualntance If he were gentleman enough to
marry the lady, and if he would marry her
that evening. After some consideration af,
hrmatlve answers were returned{ and the
promised bridegroom departed to find cler-
gyman. The minister he sought was con-
quoting prayer meeting, but the groom
passed through the congregation and Whis-
Pered his errand in the clergyman's ear. A
substitute to conduct the meeting was called
bythe reverend gentleman, and he left for
the scene OF the wedding. Meantime, anufi-
Der OF friends, male and female, had assem-
bled at the house of the brides father, and
when the clergyman and his companion ar
rived, preparations we're made for the inme-
diate performance of tho ceremony Bride
and groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen,
ranged themselves in order, and the ceremo-
ny that bound a man unwillingly to felicity
was briefly pronounced. Immediately upon
Its conclusion the husband took his hat, stated
that he had an engagement elsewhere, bade
his bride and the company good evening, and
has not since returned.

duster, and Fanny after Uncle John with the

), Phil made spring for the window, but
there was whatnot in the way, and getting
his leg entangled in that, he brought the
whole concern to the floor, ambrotypes, books,
vases, rare china, and hundred cherished
curiosities, all were involved in direct ruin.
Phil went down with the other things,
Uncle John stumbled over him, and Fanny
only saved herself by seizing the. bell-corri,
which brought her two servants speedily en-
the spot.
OF course they took Phil and Uncle for
housebreakers, and if Fanny's explanation
had not been enforced by sundry touches of
her broomstick, the consequences might have
been serious
The first moment of calm was seized upon
by the young couple to embrace each other.
"Nly angel Fanny |"
"My precious Phil I" and then followed a
series of explosions like the bursting of a
series of beer bottles.
t, And Uncle John left the house. during
this interesting performance, still firmly of
the opinion that the surest way of reconciling
wife to her husband is to get third person
to help her abuse him.

Cure for Snake and Insect Poison.

This is the Smithsonian antidote for snake
and insect poison:
Ten grains of the iodide of potassium.
Thirty grains Of iodine.
One ounce of water, the solvent. ''Sf
To be kept in a vial with ground glass
stopper; end applied externally to the wound.
1t is not to be taken us medicine internally.
In using it, no time is to be lost, as death
often cnsues from snake bite in fifteen
minutes. Bites usually are inflicted on tho
hands or feet; and when this is the case, tho
first thug to be done is TO stop the circulation
of it within TIE blood, by applying ligature
to the leg or arm above the wound. A pocket
handkerchief, the suspender, piece Of rope;
or strip of bark, in an emergency can be useds
and gun, umbrella or walking stick, or d
limb of tree, axe or hoe helye, can be made
tOurniquet to tighten the bandage. Then
saturate piece of Gotten batting, sponge, a
lock Of wool, or anything that will hold the
fluid, With the antidote; sponge the bite with
it, and bind it to it, keeping it wet with it,
until it effects a cure, which it will do, In an
hour and sometimes instantly. : If fpra6tIcabIc,;
cuPping glass ought to be applied, and the
antidOte should be placed upon the blisters;
but as the bites usually are inflicted upon tho
fingers or toes, or among tendons and bones
of the wrists, ankles or protuberances of tho
feet and hands, the process of cuppiEg is
frequently impossible The antidote is so
complete that five drops OF undiluted poison
from the fangs of rattlegnake, mixed with
five drops Of the antidotc and inserted in a
syringe, was found by experiment TO be as
harmless as ten drops Of water.

S8c Mr. Truman, the travelling correspond
ept of the New York Times in the Southern
States, writes as follows:
do not care who that man is. be he "a
radical as Mr.. Sumner himself, if he is f.
nancially disinterested, and eutertains a regard
or respect for private opinions, as all true
gentlemen do, he may travel the South from
one end to the other, and at the termination
OF ms journey he will declare that the great
body of the people of the. South are ioyaI
and are Conducting themselves as true
American citizens. Send down an ass. who
starts with the opinion that to be loyaI the
Southern people must sing hosannahs over
their defeat or go into ecstacies over the.
unturling of the american flag. that tbe7
must worship Gen. Sherman and curse Gen.
Lee, that they must trample upon, instead of
stTeWlng flowers over, the graves of their
fathers, husbands, sons and brothers. and he
viii pronounce against ths loyalty of the
people There are many others who mcander
the turbid stream of soulless fanaticism I'M
the same canoe. Thoze snivelling Tax Com
tnissioners and their associates at Fernandina,
Fla, who have sold out two or three cities
Tor almost nothing, declare the entire South
dlsloyal. The great portion of the agents of
colored schools and many of the officers of
the Freedmen's Bureau endorse the above
declaration.

and fears that the National Government viii
continue to furnish to classes of citizens in
the several States means for support and
