Mr.. Gladstone's defeat is to be sim
cerely regretted. Assuming the reins
of power on the defeat of Disraeli in
December, 1868, he mas continued at
the head of the British Government I'M
til the present time. During his ad-
ministration many important measures
affecting the interests of the country
have been carried out, principal among
them the passage of the Irish church
disestablishment act, in 1869. and of
the Irish land act, in 1870 the aboli-
ton of the purchase system in the army
by the exercise of the royal prerogative,
in consequence of an adverse vote by
the peers on the army regulation bill,
and the negotiation of the treaty of
Washington. The first of these meas
ures tended greatly to allay the irrita-
ton i'll Ireland, where a very strong
feeling existed against contributing to
the support of the Church of England
by those who were communicates of
other sects. He followed it up by other
measures conciliatory in their nature,
and has done more toward fostering Il
national feeling in Ireland than hal
been accomplished during decades I'M
der the administration of the conserva-
tives.
The appeal to the people which has
resulted so disastrously to the liberal
premier was rendered necessary by the
defeat of the Government on the Irish
Education bill. When the result of the
vote was first announced, Gladstone and
his ministers rendered their reSigna-
tions, and Dsraeli was, by royal decree,
summoned to form II new cabinet.
This he declined to do, when Gladstone
resumed his charge, partly influenced
in his course by the cntreaties of
Disrael himself. AS soon as Parlia-
ment had disposed of the pressing bust
ness before it, it was prorogued, and its
dissolution was accomplished last week.
OF the incoming administration little
progressive legislation was expected
The party has been principally distin-
guished of late years for its opposition
to the reform Legislation proposed by
the ella 'stone ministry. 1t fought the
disestablishment of the Irish church to
the bitter end, and it's leaders have been
continually harping upon "the outrage
Gus act ever since. The new premier,
Benjamin Disraeli, is II man of world
wide reputation and of acknowledged
great ability as a statesman, tinancier,
and author He has twice occupied the
position to which he will shortly again
be called. His policy, Judging by his
recent utterances, will be devoted to
securing financial reform and to lessen
ing The burdens of taxation. If he shall
succeed in doing more than his prede-
cessor in that direction, he will be in
deed fortunate. (HicaQO Times,

Warm Enough.

Jack Starlight was stopping at Il small
village in the interior of the State, and
one Sunday last summer, having moth
ing to occupy his time, he came to the
sensible conclusion that he had better
go to church in the evening and so,
after supper, he wendell his way to the
"meeten house"
1t was II very warm evening, and
Jack thought, as he was stranger, he
would go into the gallery There
were only a few people up there, so he
seated himself i'll Il front seat and pre-
pared to listen.
The minister was preaching one of
those red-hot sermons country ministers
delight in, and was happy.
Jack was not.
The gallery was getting warmer every
minute. The people down in the body
of the church looked comfortable. and
our hero concluded it was cooler down
there, and decided to try it.
just rs he started, the minister was
in the midst of a terrible warning to
young men, and the noise he made at
tracted the dominie's attention.
Thinking Jack was about to leave the
church, the clergyman stopped in his
sermon, and said
Young man, you may not be aware
of it, but you are going straight to
hell -
Jack stopped, looked back, and see
ing he was the person addressed, re-
piled

Sea-SickneSS,

The opinion so commonly held in re-
gard to sea-sickncss, namely, that it is
due either to congestion of the brain,
or to II connection in the abdominal
viscera caused by the motion of the
vessel, are very piausibly combatted by
Nj. Pellerin, who, in paper read before
the French Academy, attributes the
malady to deranged circulation of the
blood produced by the alternate rolling
and heaving of the vessel. The result
of this, he says, is not congestion of
the brain, which is, on the contrary, de-
prived of some of the blood required to
keep up stimulus of that nervous CEN
ter; that sensation which is felt in sea-
sickness resembling, peculiarly, what is
felt Immediately after a letting of blood
when the patient sits or stands, namely,
disposition to vomit, or actual vomit-
ing. In support OF this opinion, men
ton is made of the fact that persons who
are liable to sea-sickness experience its
effects III a much slighter degree when
they are in horizontal position, the re-
lief thus afforded being like that which
is produce in the same position when a
person is in II state of syncope.

New Cereal.

A new cereal has been grown in Ore
gon, and the people are puzzled as to
whether it belongs to the wheat family,
or more nearly resembles rye, barley or
oats, opinions being very nearly equally
divided. From seven to ten stalks
grow from one root, to q height of about
four feet, and these stalks, or straw, are
thin and hard. The radicals are tough,
and spread widely. The heads are six
inches in length, and covered with
heavy beard, each flament being five
inches long. The grain is double the
length of a kernel of wheat, and instead
OF being firm and compact, is hsllow,
the cavity containing glutinous matter.
While the grain bears closer resem-
blance to wheat than anything else, the
straw looks more like that of rye or
barley. Its origin is somewhat peculiar,
the first grain having been taken from
the stomach of wild goose, by a farmer
OF Tlllamook county, nearly three years
ago. He was struck with it's appear
ance, and planted it, and the succeed
ing season sowed the product. He dis
trlbuted portion of the second crop
among few friends in different parts
OF the State, who this year raised small
quantities. 1t will require another wear
to determine the value of the grain

Rough on Phelim.

The hero of the following narrative,

his curiosity satisfied. Phelim O'Cal-

A bright-eyed Caucasian woman was
in attendance, of whom such satisfac-
tory purchase was made, that Phelim

young woman called to her husband
who was in an adjoining room, for the
desired information. Much to the con-

A NOnDlussed Attorney.

A correspondent at Fredonia, N. Y,
writes Being in attendance at the
Circuit Court in Albany in the year
1870, I happened to hear the trial of a
breach of-promise case. The plaintiff
was young lady of rather delicate
nerves, and although, through the aid
of her counsel, Hon. Lyman Tremain,
her case was looking well, yet when she
came to be ross-examined by the oppo-
site attorney, Hon. Henry Smith, she
quailed before bis searching eXamina-
ton, and finally fell down in swoon.
The sympathies of everyone were
aroused, and Mr.. Smith saw that he
must do something. The young lady's
face was of a pnrple-red during her
swoon, and SO, when the next witness
was called Ga middle-aged LADY,, Mr..
Smith said !:
