Anecdote Of Disraellis Wife.

A story is told Of lady Beacons-
fields devotion to her lord and his
ambition, which, if true, is a touch
ing commentary on the unseltishness
of wOmanly affection. On one occa-
sion, when Disraelli was Chancellor
of the Exchequer, his wife accompa-
MED him to the Parliament House.
1t was budget" night-the most
momentOus of all sessions to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, for
he had to unfold his financial plans
for the ensuing year to critical and
not too easily satisfied House. Dis
faelli, as he took his place in the
carriage, was wholly wrapt up in his
subject and his figures; it was a
crisis in his career; if lie failed this
night, he might well take Wolsey's
advice to Cromwell, "Fling away
ambitionp His wife entered the
carriage also, softly, so as not to dis
turb the thinker. In getting in,
however, her finger was caught by
the door, which, shutting upon it,
jammed 1t terribly and held it so fast
lHdG Su0 CUulu HOU NlluuIdW H.
She uttered no cry, made no move
ment; her pain and agony must
have been intense. There was the
finger crushed between the panels !;
to speak or to endeavor to withdraw
it would disturb her lord-would
drive the figures and arguments
from his head. So there stayed the
: finger, every moment more painful,
until they reached the Housa. nor
did Disraelli hear a word OFT till
long after the famous debate of that
! night had become history. All that
evening the faithful wife sat in the
gallery, that her husbands quick.
glancing eye might not miss her from
{ it /; she bore the pain like q martyr
, and like woman who loves.
No wonder that by her husband,
act she has become Viscountess Bea
, consfeld; still less wonder that. al
t Lady Beaconsfeld, she is honored il
highlands proudest castles, and has
taken her place in the hereditar,
!. society as naturally and easily as i
| she too had been "to the name
! born"

@We like the way Mayor Hall
of New York treats the presump-
tuous Niger who calls himself Lieu
tenant Governor of Louisiana. The
story is thought worth telegraphing
that the sable dignitary sent word to
the Mayor that he should be in New
York so and-so, and would like to
receive call from the chief magiS-
trate of the city. Hall sent back
word that he declined the honor, and
if the niger presumed to call upon
him except on official business, he
should employ the police to eject
him. Individual niggggers in their
proper character are entitled to civil
treatment, and we venture to say
would receive it from Mayor Hall ;
but when they put on airs, in conse-
quence of the transient authority
they bold, it is best to take the con.
ceit out of them in the most con-
venient mode.-SapGnnah Ne,os.

MILLINER.-This word is corrupt
ed, or, at least changed, from Milan
er, meaning person from Milan.
A certain kind of headdress, worn
by ladies, was first imported into
England, from Milan, in Italy, Which
becoming very popular, all who sold
or manufactured articles of this kind
we're called Milaners, now altered III
to Mi.liners, from those who first
brought them into the country.

VThe editor of the Effingham
Democrat, attended the late session
of the Illinois Press Association at
Cairo. His opinion, expressed be-
low, is frank, and 10 doubt, lament
ably truthful:
When we arrived there we took
dispassionate view of the asse mbled
scribblers of Illinois, and came to
the following conclusions Out of
$50 editors, so called. who were guz.
cling the peoples wine, eating their
bread and meat, and receiving their
lavish inequalities, there were pro-
baby $50 bona fde editors, and the
remalnderwere 'greasers' and dead
BEATS who should have been kicked
out of the presence of tho society,
or tumbled into the river, as one of
the very first official acts of the soci-
ty. Every scoundrelly dead beat in
the State, apparently, who wanted
to ride from Chicago to Mobile and
return, and feast upon the fat Of the
land, had wrung himself in as an
editor and we noticed editors
standing back, while these scalawags
got drunk uron the free wine and
gorged themselves at the banquet
tables. These wretches, of course
made themselves extensively conspic
uous on all occasions, and thorough
ly disgusted people wherever they
went-and this odium, of course, thu
press has to bear. From what VIZ
saw of the crowd, there seemed tt
J be no class Of people who were mo-
J ready to degrade themselves int
leeches and sponges upon the organ
} ization fol- the free wine, free viands
, and free rides upon railroads ant
steamboats,. From Central Illinoi
} we noticed bankers and bankers
sons, side by side with gamblers an,
regular 'chevaliers d'iudustffe,' com
placently making Intensely es at hom
. in the crowd.
