[Bx CABLE no THE aERALD.1

England has at last been blessed with
fairly worshipable weather, and after the
long reach which the wintry cold made into
what we call our best months the change is
appreciated. With the exception Of yester-
day, when there was bad weather every
where and O terrible thunder storm in Scot
land, the weather during the past week has
been delightful. Indeed, the sudden tram
sition has Eade people feel over-warm, and
have heard one constitutional grumbler
say that we had jumped from Spitzbergen
to the Equator. Society feels it, and indi-
cations are seen on every hand that the
close of the season is approaching. The
fashionable s'crushes," as night entertain
ments have got to be called, would try the
patience and sudatories of any one but an
anxious mother with marriageable daughters;
but even these will soon tire out, and then
once more away from the dusty town will
be the mot dorttre
THE COMING OF THE TOURIST.
In will troop the travellers from the
United States, who seize upon those luck
less resident Americans whom business de-
tains in town. and ask to be piloted over
those old bores in stone, iron and brick,
which are called s'the sights" I know a
gentleman in Paris who has registered a
VOW never to ascend the towers Of Notre
Dame again, and have sworn, that never
shall take the sirloin out of the mouth of
the Beefeater who shows visitors over the
Tower OF London for trifling consideration.
FRIEND TO GUIDE BOOK PUBLISHERS.
The thing has to. be made matter Of con-
science, for one does not care to say
plumply to ones uncle, 81 won't 60 to st.
Paul's, Westminster Abbey. or the Tower"
particularly when that relative gives such
fine dinners while he honors London with
his presence. This may not be news in
some parts of the world, but am certain
that I express the feelings of large and
growing class when put on record my IN
alterable dislike of the British Museum,
National Gallery, Goldsmith's grave and
kindred institutions.
THE THE lrREs Trimmed OUT.
The theatrical managers complain that the
warm weather interferes with the attendance
Of the public at their places of amusement,
which is another sign that the season is
nearly over.
THE WAR FEELING.
The gathering Importance of the war on
the Danube supersedes all other news in the
public interest. A large war party exists,
but it is not clearly defined. AS general
thing the liberals are opposed to war except
under certain contingencies; the conserva-
tives favor a war as soon as there is decent
chance to interfere. Thus both parties re-
gard war as inevitable under certain state
of affairs, which is, however, as yet rather
vaguely defined in spite Of Mr. Gross
speech. The difference is that one party is
reluctant and the other anxious, but the
chances are that another week will leave the
LEGISLATORS in woful minority. The most
potent argument against them will be, Are
you afraid? Thus will begin war fever for
England which may end after all in the bat
tie of Dorking.
THE SPECIAL GRANT.
The rumor that the government will ask
Parliament for q special grant for emer-
gencies during the recess assumes impor-
lance, and it is believed tonight on credible
authority that the Cabinet is resolved on
making the application.
CABINET DIssENs1oNs.
It is also circulated that discussions con-
tinue in the Cabinet. Earl Beaconsfeld
heads the war party and the MARQUIS of
Salisbury leads in opposition thereto.
Should the Premier make tho demand it is
believed that the Marquis of Salisbury, Mr..
Cross and Lord Carnarvon will retire. This
is q simple rumor as yet, but it is the one
topic that takes precedence Of all others.
RELIGIOUS RUxPus.
The agitation in religious circles con.
tinues, arising out OF the acrimonious de-
