DINING AS AN EDucAT1oN.-The Pail
Mall Gazette says that trouble has re-
Gently arisen between some OF Her Maj
esty's ambassadors in foreign parts and
their secretaries OF legation and the
other official members Of their household,
who expect to be asked frequently to
dinner at the ambassadorial table. The
Pail Mall says that Downing street has
lately decided, on the appeal of an am
bassador, that he may eat his dinners
alone, but the journal argues the case
very Justly for the young men. It urges
that it is impossible to suppose that the
house rent and 10000 annually Of an
ambassador are solely for his private
emolument, while on the other hand his
subordinates have starvation salaries.

Of tones and glances, anecdotes and innuen-

which find repose In his own breast, and
with the game which he knowsto be going
