Great Mems Wives.
The Married Life Of Disraeii and Giadston

Gladstone was the leading scholar at Ok
ford at the same time that the present Lord
Lyttleton was leading scholar at Cambridge.
On one of their vacations they both hap
pened to be visiting at Hawarden Castle, the
Welsh country house of Sir Stephen Glynne.
Sir Stephen had family of charming daugh-
tiers, and the champions of the two universe
ties, naturally attractive youths, gained the
affections of two of them, and they were sub
sequently married on the same day by the
same parson. Lord LyttletOn died some
years since, but Mrs. Gladstone still lives to
adorn the Premier's home, and to take a be-
nevolent part in the amelioratiOn Of the poor !;
and is, in English phrase, one Of the =" finest
women" in the three kingdoms. l cannot
| omit, in this connection, to refer to Wis.,
| countess Beaconsfeld, the admirable spouse
of Mr.. Disraeh. Their coming together had
tinge of romance to it. Disraeli was just
becoming known as a fashionable novelist
and promising young man of the town, and
had written "Vivian Gray" This novel so
captivated the lady, who was then married,
and was considerably the novelist's senior,
that although she never had seen him she
entered into correspondence with him, which
led to close and aftectionate friendship.
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-08-29

Her husband dying several years after, Dis
raeli sought and won her hand. They never
have had children, but happier, more faith
full, more devoted couple does not exist.
Mrs. Disraeli always took the keenest interest
in her husbands career, and he once said in
one of his matchlessiy graceful speeches, that
whatever success he had had he attributed to
the constancy, affection, and encouragement
of the partner of his life. On one occasion
Disraeli was going to make speech in the
House upon which he counted to make
brilliant effect. When about to speak, any
disturbing incident, however trifling, is apt
to discomfort and confuse him. Mrs. Disraell
was to accompany him to Westminster, and,
her husband having entered the carriage, she
was getting in, when her thumb was caught
and jammed in the carriage window. Not
outstanding the pain, which Increased every
moment that the thumb remained under the
window, the heroic lady never WINGED or
stirred till they reached the Parliament
House-afraid if she stirred, or tried to alb
stract the thumb, it would disturb her hus-
band and affect the success of his harangue.
Is it any wonder that, when Disraeli, being
about to retire from the Premiership, was Of
fered a peerage by the Queen, he declined
the honor, but begged her Majesty to bestow
the distinction upon his wife instead? Thus
Mrs. Disraell became Fiscountess Beacons-
field-a name redolent with memories OF
Burke, and a title which gave her coequal
social rank with the ladies of the most
ancient lineage. One often sees this re-
markable pair in the West End quarter, the
lady seeming old and frail, the husband young,
jaunty, and spring-gaited, walking slowly,
for Lady Beaconsfield's health will not per-
NIT faster progress. Indeed, this devotion
to wife considerably older than himself,
and who has borne him no heirs to his splen-
did fame and princely fortune, is one OF the
| finest traits of Disraeli's character, and one
| which has gained him universal respect and
esteem in English society, even from those
who are wanting such domestic virtue.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

There was a little man, and he {" =
had little gun
And he went to shooting little
birds, to have little fun
One birdie that he shot was
very black crow,
And how to cook the little
bird his wiley didn't know.
He tried him first in butter and then
he tried some lard,
But little Horace Greeley found
his cooking very hard
He went around the corner to his
neighbor Mr.. Brown
And his neighbor tried to eat it
but he couldn't get it down.
