jiiE RULER OF ENGLAND. -'P1c-
cadilly,' the London correspondent of
the New York World. writes a very
interesting and accurate sketch of
William Ewart Gladstone. the primo,
minister of Great Britain, from which.
we make the following extract:
In private life Mr.. Gladstone is
most exemplary. Indeed, he is So.
absorbed in public life and in literary
pursuits that he might say with Prince
Euginc, II have really no time for
frailties." lie is held in immense re-
spcct by the creme do la creme Of the,
Liberal party, and there are five or six
ofqur great families who are UNDER
stood to- seek his advice in almost
every matter of importance concerning
them. Personally. no fault can be-
found with him; and yet there is re-
serve about him, arising perhaps from
his absorption in weightier matters,
that to certain degree prevents him
inspiring any expansive or enthusiastic;
friendship This characteristic was
happily hit off once by his great rival, !,
the late earl of Derby, who summarized
long eulogy on his foe by saying,
Eyes, yes, it is quite true; MFR. Glad~-
stone is most exemplary man, and
one without a single reteeming vicepr
0fpurely personal attributes perhaps
less.is known, generally, concerning
Mr.. Gladstone than of any public man
in Great Britain. When not absorbed
in his political duties he finds recrea~
ton in literature, as the many polished
and scholarly works from his pen will
testify; and the only moments he will
allow to absolute idlencss he gives to-
music. in which he takes great delight
The opera is the only theater he has
been known to enter for years, and
concerts the only fashionable enter~
tainments at which he will attend.
In person Mr.. Gladstone is Of the
middle height, about five feet nine,
and his head unquestionably seems too
large for his body. His features are
very nearly being very handsome, but
their prevailing characteristic is q
grand expression of intellect and deter
mination, beauty in which Is somewhat
marrcd by eyes rather to deeply set
and an overhanging brow-a brow,
however, worthy ofa Demosthenese ora
Cicero. The effect ON his oratory is
much aided by singularIy melodious
voice, one which, moreover, is capable
of swelling into the grandest of tones
when required to express his noble
wrath at the tannts Of Disareli, or his
equally noble admiration of some deed

AN EDITOR IN HEAvEv.-Such is
the caption Of an article which has
been going the rounds of the papers for
some time, and which appears to be
something new under the sun.
Just as if editors were not in the
habit of going to heaven Wen ven,
turc to say that greater portion of
them go to that home Of those who
have performed their mission Of mercy
on earth, than any other profession or
calling that poor mortals fill,
"An editor in heaven!" There's
nothing strange about that at ALL, its
molal as we'll as professional impos>
sibility for them to go anywhere else.
Once upon a time after the demise
of a member of the "corpse editorial"
he presented himself at the gate Of the
holy city and requested admission.
The doorkeeper asked him what had
been his occupation on tarrafcation:
He replied that he was an editor.
"Well," T" said the watchman, we have
a crowd of your kind here now; and
they all came in as dead,heads. If
you can pay your passage you can
come in; if not, you must put yourself
under the control Of parsonage you
ruled down below" (meaning the
devil Not having the wherewithal to
go in, our brother of the "quill and
scissors posted off and presented him-
self at the entrance of Pluto's dark
domains. A very dark complexioned
gentleman stood sentry. and in a gruif
voice, said, "who comes?" can hum

reply.
"Then hold on, you can't be admit
ted, = exclaimed the gentleman in black,
evincing considerable agitation, and
iicrcely scowling on him. "Why
not?' demanded the typo, who began
to get somewhat "huffish," and looked
around for a Sleeps foot with which to
force an entrance. "Well SIR" repli-
ed his sable majesty, eve let one OF

c. Hiner Miller is the real name of
the new California poet, joaquin Mill
ler," who has created quite sensation
in the literary circles of London.
He was born in Oregon, and went to
California in 1858, where he passed
a short time in the mines, but soon
again returned to his native Territory,
and spent some years running pony
express in Idaho, and carrying letters
two or three hundred miles over
the Sierras aud through the Indian
country to the miners. During the
early part Of the war he was the editor
ola Democratic paper at Eugene City,
Oregon, called the Review. In june,
1870, he went to Europe, and it is said
that he acted as correspondent for a
New York paper during the Franco
German war. Many stories are told
of his eccentricity, not least curious
of which is the one about the manner
In which he wooed and won his wife, in
whom he became infatuated by seeing
some verses she had written, in print.

tenderly, and went away with them,
down avenues Of light, and were 50
happy in their company, that lying I'D
the bed he wept for joy.
But there were many angels who did
not go with them, and among them one
he knew. The patient face that had
once lain upon the bed was gloriied
and radiant, but his heart found out
his sister among all the host.
His sisters angel fingered near the
entrance of the. star, and said to the
leader among those who had brought
the people thither--
as my brother Gomez"
And he said "No."
She was turning hopefully away,
when the child stretched out his arms,
and said ooh, sister, am here
Take mel" and then she turned her
beaming eyes upon him, and it was
night; and the star was shining into
his room, making long rays down
toward him as he saw it through his
tears.
From that hour forth the child
looked out upon the star as on the
home he was to go TO, when his time
should come, and he thought be did
not belong to earth alone, but TO the
star, too, because of his sisters angel
gone before.
There was a baby born, to be
brother to the child; and while he was
so little that he had never yet spoken a
word, he stretched his tiny form out
on fhe bed and died.
Again the child dreamed of the
opened star and of the company of
angels, and the train Of people, and
all the rows of angels with their beam
ing eyes all turned upon those peoples
faces.
Said his sisters angel TO the leader
"ls my brother come y
And he said "Not that one, bu
another
AS the child beheld his brothers
angel in her arms, he cried, "Oh,
s.s.er, | am here! Take me1 And
50 turned and smiled upon him, and
the stir was shining.
He grew to be young man, and
as busy at bis book, when an old
servant came to him and saids
"Thy mother is no more. bring
her blessing on her darling son."
Again at night he saw the star, and
all that former company. Said his
sisters angel to the leader:
as my brother Gomez
And he said, "rhy mother"
A mighty cry of joy went forth
throu III all the star, because the mother
was reunited to her two children. And
he stretched out his arms and cried,
"Oh, mother, sister and brother, | am
here! take me" And they answered,
"Not yet and the star was shining.
He grew to be man whose hair was
turning gray, and he was sitting in his
chair by the iireside, heavy with grief
and with his face bedewed with tears,
when the star opened once again.
Said his sisters angel to the leader,
"Is my brother come ?"
And he said, "Nay, but his maiden
daughter"
And the man who had been the
child saw his daughter, newly lost to
him, a celestial creature among those
three, and he said, "My daughters
head is on my mothers bosom, and
her arm is around my sisters neck,
and at her feet there is the baby of old
time, and can bear the parting from
her, God be praised"
And the star was shining.
Thus the child came to be an old
man, and his once smooth face was
wrinkled, and his steps were slow and
feeble, and bis back was bent. And
one night as he lay upon his bed, bis
childron standing around him, he cried
as he had cried so long ago;

The Alexandria Gazette thus exp os-
es the meanness Of the best Government
the world ever saw:
Shortly after the close of the war,
Maj. John Green, with long train of
wagons, went from this city to Arling-
ton with an order from the United
States Government for the furniture
at Arlington, belonging to Gen. II. +.
Lee. The officers in command of that
place refused to surrender the property,
so the Major, leaving his train there,
rode over to Washington and reported
the refusal at the War Department
A new order was at once issued to al
officer, who accompanied the Major on
his return to Arlington and saw that i
was executed. Everything that be
lcngcd to the Arlington family tha
had not been stolen was there packed
in eighteen wagons aud brought and
stored in one of the front rooms on the
ground floor of the Mansion House,
where il still remains untouched.

spoil of the AngloIndian army, on the
conquest and annexation. of the
Punjab, and being then estimated at
81 ,250, 900, there was great Joy over
such prize. Without consulting
the army, Lord Cough and Charles
Napier, chiefs in command, audacious-
ly presented the great diamond to
Queen Victoria in the name Of the
combatants. TWAS not the Generals
right to rob the army by bestowing the
greatest of IFS spoils of war on the
Queen, nor ought she to have accepted
it without seeing that the soldiers had
been paid fer it. From that time
the Indian army have not received
a shilling for their capture of the
Koli-i-noor, and Victoria has retained
the gem as her own personal property,
instead of placing it among the crown
jewels belonging to the British nation.

Manager of the Kaneohe Plantation could
be induced to take some of those who were
ready to 90, he would undertake that the
boys should be well cared for and well
instructed. This arrangement was agree
able to the Superintendent of the school,
who had a thorough knowledge of the
place from having been near neighbor
for several years, and was very acceptable
to the boys themselves, and the Board,
at their subsequent meeting, July oath, }
having resumed the consideration of the
subject, passed the following Resolution:
"ResoEoed, That the offer of the proprietor of
the KaDeohe Plantation to give employment on
the said estate to such of the larger boys Of the
Reformatory School as are willing 10 go, and as
Miss Parker shall desire to part with, be ac-
cepted."
So that the closing sentences of a little
article appearing on Saturday in the p
c. -1dcertiser, which read as follows:
All honor to the members of the Board who
in the face of rank, wealth, and inscriptions
power, firmly refused that consent The friend
less wards of the nation sent to be educated
and reformed by delving on a sugar plantation !!
What enormity is to foIlow?'
Appear to be ridiculous enough, when it
becomes apparent that the Board did not
refuse their consent. And when one talks
of equal men standing up in the presence
of rank, wealth and station" it is mere
stuff We take it, that the President of
the Board, the Minister of Interior, the
Minister of Finance, and the Hon. Chas.
r. Bishop meet their colleague on terms
of equality in every respect.
Mr.. Harris proposition was to take the
boys as apprentices by indenture, and
cause them to be well instructed in all
branches of the sugar manufacture. Any
gentleman with whom the boys are will
ing to go, whom the Board shall approve
Of, can have such boys as are of suitable
age by giving like bonds. The enor-
nifty of sending boys to labor on
sugar plantation, when taken in connec-
ton with the previous sentence in the
same article, as follows:
Now were these boys to be educated at
Kaneohe so as to become highly skilled in the
art and mystery OF making sugar, it might per
haps result proftably to themselves, to the sugar
interests and to the nation at large"
Is sufficiently ridiculous to need no COM
ment.
The boys have not gone to Kaneohe
because the Manager of the plantation
has not as yet been able to make such
for their reception as he
deems suitable
