GLADSTONE.

The fall of the Gladstone ministry, in consequence of an adverse vote in the House of Commons on his Irish Univer- sity bill, is matter of considerable im- pertance. MT. Gladstone is the most cautious, compromising, hesitating of Liberals, yet he has done more for progress than any of his predecessors siace the great Reform movement of forty years since. He has dis-established the Irish church, abolished the purchase sys- tenn in the army, introduced voting by ballot. He was. defeated last week, by a combination of Irish Catholics and other bigots who demand sectarian education. Still, his own measure practically recog- nized that evil principle, although pro- posing partial reform. ".
 The Conservatives are now in quan- diary. They have overthrown the admins tration on 8 side-issue, and there is a ma iority of 90 against them in the House of Commons. DiGaeli refuses to attempt the formation of a Cabinet under such circumstances. Some moderate Tory will probably form temporary Ministry, till a dissolution, which must come soon.
 We doubt whether new election will give Conservatives control of the House of Commons. -

A Delicate Matter Practically Treated.

A story is told by Dickens IN the mar
rative of his residence in Switzerland,
given to the world by Mr.. Forster, of a
Swiss bride who, having according to
local custom to buy black dress for
her wedding, observed to her mother,
an old lady of eighty-two, You know,
mother, [ am sure to want mourning for
you soon, and the same gown will do. "
Similar want of reverent delicacy is Of
ten compatible with real affection in
the case of persons deficient in cultiva-
ton.
Visitors, says the London Echo, meet
with instances of this obtuseness in the
poor, when there is no lack of good
feeling. The Scotch peasantry, a warm
hearted race enough, are great sinners
in this respect A benevolent lady, who
had devoted herself to soothing the
woes of the sick and sorrowful, in a
small Scotch parish, being particularly
attracted by an amiable young lady,
the daughter of a cotter, who was suf-
fering from consumption, visited her
continually in her little garret.
The patient got weaker, and her kind
friend entertained little doubt that the
end was near, when, on calling as usual
to see the sufferer, she was astonished
to find her down stairs in the "keep-
ing-room." On questioning the mother
as to the improvement she supposed
must have taken place to warrant this
change, the tender parent Immediately
replied, in her child's presence, Deed,
my Teddy, we We're fain to move her;
we could ma hae gotten the corpse doom
stars"

No Gold Found.

It is fortunate for the auriferous repu-
tation of the southern continent that
another land of treasure has been dis
covered, for the gold mines of Peru are
even more exhausted than those of
California. The few foreigners who
have recently sunk their capital in the
sands of the Peruvian rivers have not
recovered much of it, and the search
for gold has been virtually abandoned.
Even the tombs of the Incas no longer
yield the precious metal to the sacri-
ligious invader. 1t has long been a
tradition in Peru that in sepulchre
situated near the summit of a high
mountain, n few miles from Arequipa,
gold to the value of about thirteen mil
lion dollars was buried. About year
ago some adventurous foreigners as
cended the mountain with n party of
Indian guides and la5orers. They dug
at the place pointed out by the Indians,
and found a handsome vault of burnt
brick. In the vault lay the dried-up
remains of an old Peruvian queen. On
her wrists were bracelets of silver, but
no gold could be discovered. Owing to
the rarity of the atmosphere, the adj
venturers were forced to return to
Arequipa without having completed
their explorations. Curiously enough,
most of the gold in Peru comes from
Europe in the shape of subscriptions
to loans and the proceeds of guano,
and those who sigh for the wealth OF
Peru are really signing for heaps of that
substance

The New Year.

The Old Year is dead. He died wit n
out a groan. He seemed as vigorous
the day before as the foal day of his
life, and held his own to the last mo-
ment. The requiem has been sung over
his dead body, the mourners have
thrown into the dark grave the sprig of
green, in token that there is life in
death, that there is a resurrection morn
and that Death itself shall live. and be-
fore the clods have fallen on the hollow
box, the wall of the infant New Year is
heard. The bells clang out the knell of
the Old with its memories of all we
have done or suffered, performed or
neglected in that regretted time, and at
the last stroke of the midnight hour,
the changeful chimes burst into a peal
of welcome to the young year, for an
other child of the same family, bearing
the same general features, and apparent
ly, if not the same temper, has already
taken his place.
Bells have changed and chimed for
1879 ---turn-coat bells, which had twelve
months since changed and chimed for
1872, now suffered to depart with the
scant courtesy of guest who has out
staid his welcome. AS a new acquain-
tance we eye the young heir introduced
to us with bell-metal harmony, and Won
der how the acquaincance shall turn
out out. For good =? for i'll
Every first of January is like mile
stone on the road of human life, at once
a resting place and a confessional, where
we may bury the "dead past " in abso-
luton, and get fresh energy for renew
ed exertion, to the end and object of
life's journey. Who is so good or so
bad he has not part to regret, part
to amend, and seeing the opening year
bright and joyous before him, does not
propose to himself to be better in the
new than the old, and though to propose
is but little, it at least is an acknowl-
edgement of the need. and that is the
first step towards amendment, and dead
nature, dead lives, dead hopes, may yet
have the brightness of the resurrection
morn, and 1878 tell of better days and
better deeds than 1872.
The page is yet white, the record is
yet unwritten, and above the changing
bells, above the frosty air, above the
drifting snow flakes, above the frozen
resolutions of 1872, float in the anchor
of Hope the Angels of 1878.

Grain Statistics.

The imports of grain at Buffalo last
year were larger than in any preceding
year, excepting 1871, For a long time
there has been a steady and marked de-
cline in the receipt of -four, the imports
during last year having been 769, 1868
barrels, against 1,241, ,969 in 1871, and
], ,453,9 913 barrels in the previous year,
the decrease having been noticeable for
several past years. But Buffalo is not
alone i'll this decline, since the receipts
at Western centres have been parallel
with those at Buffalo. Chicago, Toledo,
Detroit, Milwaukee, and Cleveland had
an aggregate of receipts in 1869 of over
100000 barrels one year afterwards
they lowered to 1880 900; in 1871. to
$4,000, 900, and in 1872 to 100000. At
present, and this may explain this de-
cline, larger amount of wheat is raised
in the Western States than formerly
there was. Lumber received last year
amounted to 212, ,946, 900 as opposed to
200, 0,616;000 in the preceding year. The
grain receipts at Buffalo for 1872 We're
81, 1854, 900 bushels, and the total receipts
at the lake ports---Chicago, Milwaukee,
Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland and Duluth
.were---fiour being estimated as wheat
143, 100,6SS bushels. The measure
ment of the cereals which pass through
Buffalo shows nearly two-thirds of the
whole receipts of all the great grain
centres of the Northwest.

New DANGER. new danger has
arisen for women who have a habit of
opening letters addressed to their hus-
bands. Recently a lady in San Francisco
was led to break the seal of communi-
tion made to her lord and found circu-
lar of "Messrs. Reid, Delafield, & Co., "
showing how for a small amount of
genuine money large amount of coun-
terfeit money as good as the original
Jacobs could be obtained. The lady
was taken with the scheme, showed the
letter to her mother, and the two sent
$50 to the sw!ndlers and anxiously wait
ed for return mail. Mr.. Delafield came
to the lady's house to give her the
money. The ladies We're enraptured,
but when their eager hands sought to
grasp the rustling notes, 10 Mr.. Della

that the bearer was not bold counter

the lesson was a good one, and may be
of service to inquisitive and luxurious
wives and teach them not to lead them
