The probabilities are that, in the
event of return Of the Liberal party
to power, Mr.. Gladstone will be raised
to the peerage, and lead in the upper,
while Lord Harrington will lead in the
lower, house. Mr.. Gladstone is now
20, and it may, perhaps, be safely as
serted has done as much brain work as
any man of his time. How materially
his duties as Minister would be dimin-
ished by going up to the Lords may be
estimated by the fact that last session
the Lords sat 206, against 1,010 hours
in the Commons; in fact, peer can SO
nights out of 100 be in bed by II
o'clock, so far as legislation is con-
cerned. Mr.. Gladstone in the upper
house would be a tower of strength to
his party where it is weakest.

DO MONKEYS Swim!

I was always under the impression
that they did not like wetting their fur
or hair, but at Sangur, Central India,
when was stationed there, / had lit
tie monkey that was exceedingly fond
of swimming and diving. One day, on
taking him to thepond at the bottom of
my compound, he jumped off my shout
der and dived Qike MANI into the
water, which was three or four feet deep ;
he had his chain on at the time, and
when he dived in the chain caught in
some grass or root at the bottom and
kept the monkey down; he was just
able to come to the top of the water.
Feeling his chain had caught, he dived
down, undid the chain, and continued
to swim with the chain in his hand. He
swan just like man, as far as 1 could
see from the motions of his arms.
Several of my brother officers came to
see him swimming, of which he was
very fond, swimming very quietly, and
cunningly trying to catch the frogs that
lay floating on the top of the water

The recent arrival of party of Rus
sian Mennonites from Brazil calls at
tention to the unfortunate result of
this latest attempt in the line of emf
grafton to the South American empire.
Two or three years ago agents appeared
among these oppressed Russian peas
ants with glowing accounts of Brazil
and generous promises of land, Govern
ment support for year and certain
prosperity thereafter. A free passage
was offered to start with, and almost
1000 at once left their homes. Blu,
misfortunes soon overlook them. The
province in which they settled, although
beautiful in appearance, has sterile
soil, and when Government aid was
Withdrawn starvation stared them il
the face. By working on the public
roads they could earn money enough tc
hope to get away, and to this they de
voted themselves. Some of them sailed
directly for home, but others have con
cluded to try the United States, and j
is to be hoped they will be given fai
chance in this country.

A Lady Lashed by a COachwhip.

While Mrs. Thomas Swami and Mrs.
Lottrick Stanley,who live near the line
of Rockdale and Henry counties, were
out gathering muscadines few days
ago, large coachwhip snake coiled
around one of Mrs. Swann's legs so
tightly as to leave red mark, and then
attempted to give her flashing with its
tail; but the lady proceeded to lump

quick she got away with his snakeship.

The newest service rendered by mon
keys to mankind was recently illustra-
ted in London. In one of the school
districts too many parents reported no
children in their families, and in order
to ascertain the real number of chill
dren in the district the school officers
resorted to an ingenious measure. Two
monkeys were gayly dressed, put in a
wagon and, accompanied by brass
band, were carried through the streets
of the district. At once crowds of
children made their appearance. The
procession was stopped in park, and
the school officers began their work.
Distributing candies to the youngsters
they took their names and addresses.
They found out that over sixty parents
kept their children from school. The
ingenious measure brought to the
schools about 200 boys and girls.

DURING his recent cruise on man
of-war, Secretary Thompson paid par
ticular attention to the vessel and it's
workings, his previous maritime expe-
rience having been confined exclusive
ly to the tempestuous Wabash. Among
other things explained to him were the
meaning Of the words " starboard and
!" larboard," the officer who furnished
the information also remarking that
part of the hunks for common sailors
were on one side of the vessel and part
on the other. The Secretary noted the
fact, and, turning to companion, said
that he intended having the rules OF
the service altered so that the word
starboard would be replaced by some
other. On being asked the reason for
this change, Mr.. Thompson winked
solemnly and said it was intended to dc
away with jealousy among the common
sailors. as there would then be nc
star" boarders among them. This
sad event cast gloom over the entire
trip.

A Pair of Sweet Voices.

"The sweetest voice I ever heard.
said the Bishop, "was woman's. It
was soft and low, but penetrating, mu-
steal and measured in its accents, but
not precise. We were on steamer, and
she murmured some commonplace
words about the scenery. do not re-
member what she said, but I can never
forget the exquisitely tender, musical
voice." "The sweetest voice I ever
heard" said the professor, "was mans.
I had been out fishing nearly all day
and got back to the hotel about 3
o'clock. The man came out and roared,
'DIN-NUR' till it soured the milk in
the cellar. 1 have heard other voices
since then, but I never" But the
Bishop, with look of intense disgust
all over his face, had already walked
away out of hearing and was lighting a
fresh cigar by himself.-Bamoor Wing.

An American who finds his own coun-
try inspiring and ennobling in its OPP
portunity and its prospect often con-
fesses that it lacks soft poetic per-
spective, and signs for ivied castles and
ancestral trees in whose shade Sidney's
sister walked. But, were he born
among them, they would have lost the
spell that he now feels, and his life
would have lost the richness of that re-
greet. As you look up the Val Anzasca
How family flushed, how phantom fair
Was Monte Rosa hanging therel
thousand shadowy pencjled valleys
And snowy dells In q golden air.
But it is only SO from the Val Anzas-
ca. 1t is not so when you try the terri
BILE ascent.
Indeed, it is one of the advantages of
America that with the modified En-
glish blood in our veins we have En-
gland to go to. The consciousness of
being in London is second only to that
of being in Rome or Jerusalem. Is it
second? Is the soul of the American
more stirred by st. Peters, by the yell
low Arno, by the Coliseum, by the
tomb in Arqua, than by London, by the
daisy in the field, the hawthorn hedge,
the lark in the sky, Westminster
Runnymedep And the fond regard,
the surprise, eager delight, the pathos
of pleasure, do not weaken, they do but
strengthen, that lettering scion of kin
beyond the sea. The stronger and
deeper his romontic reverence for En-
land, the better American is he, because
less narrow and prejudiced. Generosi-
ty of soul is greatness of soul. With
gratitude and sympathy and Joy the
sincere American wanders through Eng
land; and yet, childof his country and
time, he still murmurs, wistfully:
like monk, like cowl
love prophet of the soul
And on my heart monastic sisles
Fall like sweet strains or pensive smiles;
Yet not for all his faith can see
Would that cowled churchman be.

HENRY WARD BEECHER said at re

HENRY WARD BEECHER said at re-
cent meeting of the Congregational
Pastors Association, in New York, that
in the thirty-three years he had been
pastor of Plymouth Church there had
never, to his knowledge, been any dis
sensions in his church. There had been
trouble with outsiders, but it had only
consolidated the members. There were
5000 names on the rolls of the schools
and fully 10000 people who regarded
his church as their home center. The
treasury was always overlooking.

NOTWITHSTANDING money is held

the interior banks have out full lines
of loans, there is extraordinary buoy
ancy in the stock market and the trans

There is the greatest buoyancy in rail

Pacific stock has risen from rs to 81
Erie from 81 to 40, Michigan Central

Lake Shore from IA to "a, the New

never heard of have begun to be quot

based somewhat on increased earnings

the permanenoy of the pool arrange
ments which afford some guaranty OF
the frmness of rates on the trunk lines
and on the magnitude of the crops
which assure full business for the next

China.

At the departure of the children of
Israel from Egypt, China was 700 years
old; and when Isaiah prophesied of her
she had existed fifteen centuries. She
has seen the rise and decline of all the
great nations of antiquity. Assyria,
Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
have long since followed each other to
the dust; but China still remains, SOL
itary and wonderful monument of patri-
archal time. Then look at the popula-
ton of the country, roughly estimated
at 00,000,000, ten times the population
of the United States, more than thirteen
times the population of Great Britain
and Ireland. Every third person that
lives and breatbes upon this earth and
beneath these heavens is Chinese

The War Between Chill and Peru.

War is terrible thing, and it is hoped
the day is near at hand when our
swords will be beaten into plowshares,
and our difficulties settled by arbitra-
ton. In recent engagement between
the Chilian and Peruvian forces, a
horse trod on soldiers bunion, and he
yelled so-the soldier, not the horse
that you could hear him two miles. A
Lieutenant on the other side was also
wounded. His sword became entangled
between his legs, which tripped him up,
and he sustained slight abrasion of
the left cheek bone. 1t is understood
that both armies are now suing for

The Americans England.

1t is upon the pages of Washington
Irving that we must look for the most
fascinating picture of the traditional
and ideal England. His imaginative
fondness for old English customs and
life led him to describe them with
charming grace, and to decorate them
with quaint illusions and quotations,
so that he throws delicate glamour
over England, which makes it to the
half English American heart the moot
romantic of lands The very warmth
of jealousy with which we often speak
of England is due TO the family feel
ing. With the advent of universal suf
frage, and the Irish immigration, it has
been part of the politics of great
American party to appeal to a hostile
sentiment which has a mixed origin.
Indeed. politicians of all schools find it
convenient and easy to stir the British
lion. That kind of appeal is the stock
gag" of the political scene, but tits as
innocent as "Thisne, dear"
Irving, indeed, was reproached with
unpatriotic fondness for the old home.
This was natural enough, for he lived
long in England, and his favorite
themes were often Enthusiastically
English. But little reflection shows
that they are thoroughly American
sketches both in their spirit and their
point of view. England is not roman
tic to Englishmen in Irving's way. In
deed, it can be so only to the descend
ants of Englishmen in other lands, who
with perfect satisfaction with their lot,
and pride in their own career, trrn with
sweet pensiveness of "reminiscences to
their fathers country-reminiscence
which is tenderly imaginative, and
which invests its subject with faery hues

Granger still holds those papers in his
possession, and without doubt the treas
