AN ALARM.-About o'clock Monday morn
ing family in the upper part of the city was
alarmed at some noises outside the house that
indicated the presence of burglars. The hus-
band jumped out of bed and Selling gun
ran to the window where he discovered man
near his kitchen door, The family in the ad-
joining house had also heard the noise, and one
OF them had been on the watch and heard the
fellow talk as if addressing comrade outside
the fence. The one with a gun kept watch
over the fellow he had discovered, threatening to
shoot him if he stirred, until the neighbors had
obtained the assistance Of two police officers
who marched him off to the lookup. The fell
low pretended to be drunk. But how he could
have got over fence six feet high in an intox-
icated condition is mystery. The mystery OF
the affair is not yet solved.

DIsRAELI AND GLADSTONE AS LADIES MEN.
The New York Times London correspondent
tells us of one disadvantage the liberal leader
has in his contest with Disraeli-he has not
the mastery of the art of small talk, and can
never be the favorite with the queen that his
opponent seems to have become:
MIR. Disraeli is at present at Balmoral with
the queen, and it is said that he will remain
there some little time. There is ALWAYS one
minister Gin attendance" upon her majesty
but it is not very often the premier 1t is nc
secret, however, that the queen and the royaJ
family have acquired a strong liking for Nj
Dsr eli, and, as he is said to be one of the
most agreeable men in society of the present
day, there is nothing very wonderful in that.
The Spectator suggested last week that the
premier had gone to Balnoral to educate his
queen''-the sort of blw that the Spectator
would resent, and Justly, II it were aimed at
| any liberal. How is itpossibe that the queen.
| or any one else, can rally like Mr. Gladstone,
| with his morose PUitanism, his grimness of

| Joke, and his inability to smile? If the neen

wears ago. as any old planter, merchant or sea
captain doing business with the West Indies
will tell you. 1t is distinctly within my recol-

was sea captain, and doing an extensive
trade in the tropics,) he would invariably
have these Bitters among the ships stores, and
our family sideboard was never without them
