DIsRAELI AND GLADSTONE.
The Rivals ~ they Appeared I'm th'
Recent Debate


A London letter TO the Cincinnati
Commercial says Of the debate in the
House of Commons on the Irish Univer-
sity bill:
Mr.. Disraelis speech on Tuesday eve
ming is admitted to be one Of the clev-
crest ever made in Parliament. He
never was in better form. He was
iaunty as a boy, and at times almost
handsome The little cOrkscrew curl on
his upper forehead looked black and
shining, and no one listening to his clear,
flexible voice, or observing the flush on
his face, would have imagined that he
was older by four years than the pale
and worn Prime Minister who sat almost
trembling beneath the stiletto touches
which we're to end in a fatal stab When
he spoke of the Council lin which as all
knew, lurked the potential Ultramon-
tanism of the scheme) as those anOny-
nous persons, when he expressed
amazement that so jealous sermoni2er
against Strauss as Gladstone should
prohibit the teaching of moral philoso-
phy at o time when young men were
prattling Of protoplasm, and young
ladies in glided saloons were talking uA-
conscious Atheism when he as ked how
professor of ancient history (modern
history being proscribed) could do with
out talking about the Hebrews, and how
if he did that he could avoid touching
on Christianity, in which case he would
lose his chair, perhaps by one vote, and
that Cardinal Cullen S; when he answered
the governments appeal that if they
would only pass the second reading all
these things would be fully considered,
with tbs simple remark: OF course they
will; what on sarth do we 20 into COM
aittee for? there was 10 his manner an
inexpFessible subtleiy, cool, hall oyni-
cal half simplnhearted self restraint,
which delighted the House far more than
the solemn satire, or the eloquence of
the Premier's closing speech. Mr.. Glad
stones speech was indeed eloquent. He
arose with "a pallor which seemed to be
heightened by a red flower. worn in his
coat, which suggested spring trying
to bloom amid the winter of dis
content. But bis speech was too
ingenious, his arguments too strained
one could feel in it that kind of
cleverness which desplses the effort
to prove white to be white as common-
place, but feels it to be worthy of an
astute orator to demonstrate that black
is black. The speech of Mr. Glad
stone became also sort of appeal aa
misericordiam-a pathetic remonstrance
against deserters. Come back, do, and
save me from humiliation don't care
a farthing about the BILL ! willthrow out
clause after clause of it, Just as you
wish: it will 90 into committee mere
blank paper, on which you my write
Just what you will; but don't, oh, don't
allow me to be triumphed over by
Disraeli' All this was between the lines
of the Premier's speech. But the House
was remorseless. The largest majority
with which Prime Minister ever began
a Parliament had disappeared, and Mr.:
Gladstone presently sat silent and
gloomy with the wild shouts OF his foes
and quondam friends ringing around
him

ladies were invited 10 share lis hOnOrs
by becoming members OF the fraternity,
wearing It's habit aud attending its fes
tiyites; and il was not until the reign Of
Henry VIII that they ceased 70 belong
10 the illustrious society. The habit was
worn on the feast day Of st. George by
the queen, by the wives and widows OF
the Knights Compaaions, aud, as
an especial mark Of the sovereign
favor, by other distinguished ladies.
These robes, which were annually
given out of the royal wardrobe, were
made OF the same materials aud color
as the surcoats Of the knights, aud were
like them embroidered with numerous
small garters, each containing the motto,
Honi soft qui NAL y pense." The la
dies belonging to the order also wore a
garter, similar to that of the knights, on
their left arm, and were considered mem.
bers under the name, Ladies Of the So
eiety Of the Garter" The romantic
spirit Of chivalry, which softened the
ferocity Of the middle ages, becoming
impaired and finally decaying in the un.
genial reign Of the king whose time was
marked by the atrocious murder Of las
wives, the ladies' were then deprived Of
their ancient participation in the order
of the Garter. No attempt seems TO
have been made TO restore them to the
distinction which the usage of two cen
turies has given them strong claim. A
recurrence of the ancient practice by
ladies OF rank OF wearing the beautiful
garter ON their arm has been suggested
as an appropriate distinction to the
reign of a female sovereign, who is
also sovereign. of the order. The
name Of Fentaigne, by which the ladies
coi1ure was known during the latter
years Of Louis XIV Of France, had an
equally singularly origin. Nine. dc
Fontaigne, at hunting party at Vim.
cennes, had her head.dress disarranged
by gust OF wind, and in order to keep
it in its place she took one Of her gar
ters and tied it up with that. Louis
thought that she looked SO pretty in this
fashion that he begged her to continue
to wear her head, dress so arranged
Next day the ladies of the court made
their appearance with ribbon or top
knot, which assumed the name Of tho
" Fontaigne."
Among the Roman ladies the garter
was one of the most ornamental parts !
of the attire, being formed of gold and
silver bands, resplendent with precious
stones. Sometimes this precious trim.
ket was worn on the naked leg The |
patriciau danes, in their mad efforts to
oatvie each other in this species of gar
nent, often spent great portion of
their fortunes. Sabina possessed q pair
of garters which have become historical.
They were valued at E40, 900, on account
of the rich canoes that clasPed them.

They had what they call an awkward
man on jury down in Maine the other
day 1t seems the case involved claim
for money for building a cellar, and the
number of perches of stone used was
specified. But this awkward man, as it
ohanoed, knew something by experience
about building stone walls, and this lit
tie item was not quite clear to him. SO
when the jury went out he took his pen
Gil and quietly ciphered little while at
the table, and then, in the most matter
of.fact way, told his fellowjurors that, as
he made it, there was enough stone put
into those cellar walls to Gil the cellar
completely up and have three or four
perch of stone left, and he was puzzled
to know where they put their potatoes
and garden sass.

A hanging garden of sponge is one of
the latest novelties in gardening. Take
white sponge of large size and sow it
full of rice, oats or wheat. Then place
it for week or ten days in shallow
dish, and as the sponge will absorb the
moisture the seeds will begin to sprout
before many days. When this has fairly
taken place, the sponge may be sus-
pended by means Of cords from a hook
in the top of the window where little
sun wMl enter. It will thus become like
a mass Of green, and can be kept wet by
the mere immersion Of it in bowl of
water,
