the son of the great Duke Of Buccleuch now sits,
and which Mr.. Gladstone is TO contest whenever the
general election is held.
Bat this is depression and Mr.. Gladstone is wait
ting on the Edge Hin platform As the train stopped.
! caught my first glimpse of him, surrounded by u
group of friends to whom he was saying goodbye.
moment later he stepped into the carriage and
acheer sautcd him, he his hat, and the strong
features and sweeping lines of the forehead stood
out in t1e gray morane. He looked IN cap'tai con-
dition, but have seen him look as fresh when he
20 speak at l in the morning in the House
after an cist-hours' session. aud it is hard to say
what amount oi toll or what burden of respon-
siblty will overtask bis physical powers. With
week of appalling work before him. he starts of as
bithely as il taking holiday; which in The com
mon sense of the word, ! believe he never
takes. The cheer at Edge Hill was a signal
gun. Ii was taken up and echoed forward from
station to station as the train sped noTtbward Be
tween Edge Hi and Carlisle, where the Tst Formal
reception was TO occur, the trains stopped at six
towns, large and small. At all of them crowds had
gathered on the chance Of seeing MIR. Gladstonc's
face for an instant. There rush to his
carriage, a cry of There he is" cheer, and then
Mr.. Gladstone put bis head out of the window and
bowed then few of the nearest seized lis hand,
sometimes with "God bless you sir" and then
the train steamed slowly away, the people following
far as they could keep up. They were mostly
workingmen.
1t was not ill we reached Preston that there was
any sign that his arrival had been generally ox-
peoted or counted on. The Preston station is re-
building. and the temporary station is nothing but
a long and narrow shed. Into this some two or
three thousand people had wedged themselves, aud
the train passed along the serried file, the cheers
went off like voeys when the firing Is by patoons.
Here, l think, s6me local magnates captained the
crowd. and there wcre peremptory demands for
speech. Mr.. Gladstone complied. saying he could
utter bnt two sentences: to thank them for
their unexpected welcome the other TO beg them
to get out Of harms way before the
train moved. HIS wife, he added, was
much distressed lest some accident should
happen; whcreupon the people cheered for Mr..
Gladstone. and crowded closer than ever. BY some
clever lnarWuvung OF the railway guards the cdgc
of the platform was finally cleared, and the tram
got away without mishap; rush accompanying

out of luggage trucks and gallantly defended by Il

At Lancaster, at Carnforth. at Pcnrith and other
places, similar occurred, but when Carlisle
was reached. the first formality of the day took
place. The Liberals of the North did not care to
let Mr.. Gladstone quit English soil without word
from them. DeputatOns had come all the way from
Newcastle on the other side OF tine island, and from
Gateshead. as we'll as from Langholmc and from
Carlisle itself: each with a long address 10 Mr..
Gladstone. For the whole reception not more than
fifteen minutes were allowed. and the proceedings
took place in n hotel, but six or seven
thousand people had collected in the station.
Barriers stretched in every direction, and scores of
policemen did their best to keep the hrong outside
of them hut their efforts not very successful.
In the reserved space were Mr.. George Howard II. r..

Associations round about and in the hotel, which
is entered from the station, 800 representative Lib

attention almost exclusively. His speeches yes

ances. lie will visit friends at Hamilton, and re-
main over Sunday at Dalzel Castle. He returns
70 his residence at Hawarden on Monday. 1t
is the universal admission that never did
an English statesman evoke equal enthu-
siasm. No popular demonstration during this gener-
alton has approached this Scotch uprising. The
Tnclsh echo is scarcely less general. The adj
yauccd Liberals everywhere adhere cordially to
MI Cladsionc's programme. The provincial recos-
milton far outruns the London feeling. among old
Wings especially. The great landowners are
somewhat anxious in r,gard to thoprOposed changes

revolutionary suggestions in Mr.. Giadstones care

tion. Certain of the leaders Of the Liberal party
are reported to be disturbed by the demonstrative
LOYALTY Of tie masses TO Mr. Gladstone. This is
mere rumor.
NR. GLADSTONE MUST LEAD.
The general conclusion Of the whole party is that
Nil Giadstone's future leadership is essential to
Liberal success. Numerous important provincial
journals proclaim this explicitly. The Imos's flip
pant sneeTs utterly msrcpreent the feeling both in
London and in England generally.

Very Like q Whale.

Assuming the particulars given by
Captain Larson, of the Columbia, to be
correct in description, his first notion
that the animal had struck his bark was
one of the two whales engaged in COM
bat is probably the true one. Whales do
fight, and display tremendous power.
There is an account of a whale fight
that occurred just off the coast of
ybster, Scotland, which was witnessed
by number of fishermen. "The two
whales rushed against each other with
great velocity; one would leap twenty
or thirty feet in the air and fall upon
his foe with crushing force; the sea
around him, dashed into foam, soon ex-
hibited bright red tinge." This battle
lasted three hours. One of the whales
was killed in the fight, and this, when
drawn ashore, was found to be sixty feet
in length. A monster like that, moving
with a velocity that would carry it
twenty or thirty feet out of the water,
might stave in the planks of an old YES
sci such as the Columbia was.-Philadek

Bird Toilets.

There was one lady at the Ocean
House who wore with evident pride a
turban hat composed entirely of the
breasts and wings of tri-colored "spar
rows" "Don't you think of the poor
little creatures suf1erings every time you
put it on?' asked more sensitive friend
one day. ono, indeed" was the reply.
"Do you think of chickens sufferings
every time you take bite?" At a re-
ception a well-known New York lady
created a /" Juror" by wearing peacock
dress. The foundation was creamy
white satin; the bouffante" panier took
the form of two wings, which were of
satin, bordered with deep band of
many-hued peacocks' eyes. The deep
train simulated the outspread tail of the
bird, and was profusely decorated with
its plumage. In her hair the lady wore
a peacock "aigrette," studded with bril-
lisnts, emeralds and rubies. Another
startling novelty was the swan-dress, a
miracle of downy feathers, and delicate
cobweb lace 1t was worn by one of the
wealthiest Chicago ladies.-Neacpo,t Let

Adipose to the Last Degree.

The Daily Telegraph tells this story
"Sydney Smith once remarked of an
inordinately stout lady, whose dimen.
sions were being somewhat humorously
commented upon in his presence, that
were she to rise in revolt against the
constituted authorities, it would be neces-
ssry to read the riot act and disperse
herp We wonder to what extravagances
of comical speculation the witty Canon
would have been stimulated had he lived
to take cognizance of young person of
Russian birth who is about to visit
central and western Europe for the pur-
pose of turning her extraordinary cor
pulence to profitable account, and whose
fatty fame has gone before her, prepar-
ing the public mind for surprise upon
scale of unprecedented magnitude. At
present this adipose phenomenon resides
at the lowly village of Bolschin. Grodni,
in the government of Tula. She is but
10 years old, and she turns the scale at
4l8 pounds. A damsel who, within q
decade, has attained weight of nearly
thirty stone, is indeed marvel hitherto
unrecorded in the annals of physiology.
When she shall set forth upon her tray
els, which she is about to do under the
guardianship of an eminent Snowman,
she will be compelled to take her place
in the luggage van, for no entrance to
any railway carriage at present in ex.
istence is wide enough to admit of her
passage through it. A subtle provision
of her ponderous peculiarities would
seem to have inspired her godfathers and
godmothers at her baptism, when they
gave her the singularly apt name under
which she will make her appearance
before admiring throngs. She was chris

A Frightful Calamity.

A three story tenement house, 1913 Gold
street. South Boston, was entirely consumed
by fire on the 18th. The house was occu.
pied principally by Germans, nearly all Of
whom were asleep at the time the fire broke
out, the flames making such rapid headway
that before those in the upper stories could
descend all avenues of escape were cut of.
Mary Huldreth was burned to death. Fer
dinand Mayruth jumped from the roof of
the burning building and was killed. His
wife, Emily, aged 30, jumped from the third
story window with her son. The woman
had leg and arm broken, and was other
wise injured and the boy was badly hurt in
the spine. The body of man, supposed to
be Christian Fifer, was found in the ruins.
A young woman and two children known
to have been in the house at the time are
missing and are probably burned. The
damage by the burning of the house is about
$4,000.
