Lord Brougham.

In considering the career of Brou-
CHAM, Mr.. Walpole has been puzzled
like other critics of that extraordinary
intellect, to explain how man, sat one
period undoubtedly the most powerful
political parsonage of his day." should
have "lived to see the time when his in
huence was smaller than that of many
minor politicians" Greville, who knew
him intimately, and followed his career
with eager curiosity, doubted the extent
Of his real influence when he was at his
prime. Greville writes in 1880: "No.
body ever possessed such enormous
means, and displayed q mind so versa
tile, fertile and comprehensive, and yet
had so little efficacy and influence" I"
We think Greville underrated Brou-
gham's power before he accepted office.
Mr. Walpole's view of his subsequent
loss of personal authority cannot be dis
puted; but we must question his theory
that the decadence is traceable to the
multiplicity of Brougham's gifts Speak
ing of Brougham's departure from a
house where they had been fellow
guests, Rogers, who had been out
talked, remarked to Greville "This
morning Scion, Lycurgus, Demosthenes,
Archimedes, Sir Isaac Newton, Lord
Chesterfield, and a great many more,
went away in one post.chaise." All
readers of Greville must remember the
delightful scene in which the Lord
Chancellor dimes at Fowell Buxton's
brewery, and teaches the brewers how
to brew. There was certainly vanity in
the ambition to be accounted master of
every department of human knowledge.
But variety was the essence of Brou-
gham's genius, While he was planning
Liberal campaigns in the House, he was
liberalizing the intelligence of the ma
ton. Restriction to one Or two beaten
tracks would have clipped his wings and
not strengthened his flight. 'Lord
Brougham," says Mr., Walpole, "might
have attained the eminence of Fox as q
politician, of Erskine as an advocate, of
Playfair as mathematician, of Her
schel as an astronomer, of Hallam as an
historian. He tried to rival these char
acters in their various stations, and in
consequence, though he ran good sec.
ond to them all, he did not win quite
the first place in any race. ."-Westmin,
ster Review.

Notions About Bats.

Numerous fanciful notions are enter
tained regarding bats. They are said to
be able to see in the dark, and that they
are bloody and vengeful in their nature.
As concerns seeing in the dark, that is
quite erroneous Their power of avoid
ing obstacles when flying in the dark
ened places is not due to their eyes, but
to keen sensibility in tLeir wings. The
thin leathery wings Of bats are their an
tenn@ or reelers. Darling about in all
directions in utter darkness, they are
never by any chance impeded or injured
by obstacles that happen to be in their
way Experiments have been made by
stretching strings across darkened places
in which a number of them are confined,
and nc string is ever disturbed in their
fight. The exquisitely radiated system
Of nerves in bats wing offers one of
the finest studies in animal physiology,
or, we might say, in natural theology.
Shall creature so ingeniously formed
be spoken of with sentiments of hostility
or derisionl On the contrary, it should
excite our warmest admiration. Artists
from time immemorial have been in the
habit of depicting malevolent demons
with wings en- the pattern of those of the
bat-a piece of conventionality wholly
at variance with what is learned from a
contemplation Of the actual facts in
nature. The bat is no more tiendish
than the swallow or any other bird which
has been appointed to rid the atmos-
phere Of superfuous and destructive
insects -Chamher's ] Journal.

American Meat in Great Britain.

The import of American meat into
this country is assuming such large di-
mensions that it is not surprising farm
ers begin to be somewhat anxious as to
the future of the cattle trade. Some in
formation on the subject, which will be
interesting to them, and to meat con-
sumers generally, was given at dinner
held few days ago at Glasgow by the
butchers engaged in the American meat
trade. The chairman, in the course of
his remarks, observed that Farmers
might be assured that the coming Sum-
mer and Autumn would be the worst
they had had to face with America, large
contracts having been entered into for
the transport of cattle into Great Brit
ain. So large were those contracts that
he was afraid many of them would never
be completed, as, if all were filled, cattle
would be as cheap with us as in Ameri-
ca" With regard to the increase of the
American trade it was stated that the
entire quantity of meat imported into
Great Britain in 1876 was Is, l65, ,632
pounds, the value of which was $780,
395. In 1878 it had risen to 53,66l,-
ZIG pounds, with money value of Gl,-
264,764; while from Europe the total
money value of dead meat was only
966,595. The value of the imports of
all classes of live stock into Great Brit
ain last year from America and Cont
nent was 1854, 4S2, and with dead
meat added, .eS,7S5,7Sl. OF that sum
nearly e4,00O,000 was' from America.
Every year, it was pointed out, Europe
can spare fewer cattle, and it is to Amer
lea we must look to make up the def
cheney in the home supply. Sooner or
later all these importations of meat must
tell upon our butchers bill; but at pres
ent they remain, strange to say, as high
as ever.-Pall Mall Gazette.
