An ANECDOTE OF GLADSTONE.

An anecdote is related of Mr.. Gladstone which
deserves to be widely known for 1t is not only SIN
gulary characteristic of the man, but it is capable
of being used as the text for many profitable po-

italy, he returned thanks for the glowing terms IN
which his health had been proposed by the spokes-
man of the eminent Italians whose guest no then
was 1t is hardly necessary to say that his own
speech was given in the Italian language of which
he is notably master; still less is it necessary to
add that his speech did not consist in glorlficatlon
of himself He rendered an eloquent tribute 10 the
progress which Italy had made since the date OF her
complete unfcation, and the Italian statesmen and
authors listened with delight as the first OF English
statesmen and fist of English orators poured out
food of encouraging and sympathetic praises IN
their own speech, upon the wholesome signs OF
national vigOr which he had noticed in this depart
mcnt or in that. But" exclaimed MIR. Gladstone.
YOU have one enemy amongst YOU" .
The Italians looked at one another stgnihcaptly |;
they believed that they could easily perceive to
what, or rather to whom, the great Engshman re-
ferred. They whispered one to another He means
the POpcw Meanwhile the current OF MIR. Glad

with the mods ana whispers OF his audience, fou

added, ais Deficit" Every reader who keeps
abreast OF the controversies and difficulties Of the
Italian politics OF the dav, drifts OF the party

Italian body polite, the first OF living tnanclers

PROFESSOR VIRCHOW and THE OTHER
SORCERER.
Ernn Tn, Inn DON Giohe.

few DAYS ago Professor Vrchow undertook to
apply the recognized system Of anthropologlcal
measu1ings to the Esquimaut who are at present
being exhibited in Berlin. The attempt of
the eminent anthropolOgist met with an I'M
expected opposition. The wild Pagnu IS re-
garded amongst her tribe as a sorceress OF very ex-
traordinary power, and when she saw the professor
operating upon her companions, she concluded that
he was o great German and Christian magician.
When her own turn came, she loudly exclaimed
that she would not submit to these incomprehensl-
bic manipulatOns of the OF tho God OF the
white men," for she was sure that the Christian
magician could have but one purpose, the despou-
ing her of her own supernatural powers. When
Dr. Vrchow and his assistants approached her,
with their mystical pencils, notebooks and meas
ures she sprang the table and chairs. and
rushed into "A OF the room, where she chanted
out a necromantc formula, which She hoped would
neutralize the magical powers OF her European
rivals. ,,,
The professor and his assistants were visibly
taken aback at this unexpected scene. and their
temporary discontinue made very evident im-
preston upon the rest Of the Esquimaux Madame
Pagnu continued TO chant forth excitedly without
a pause and became the centre of amazement and
interest TO all others who were present. 1t was
curious to note the effect uDOn Abraham, who Is

LITTLE LAURETTE.


Little Laurette was sitting beside
Her dressing room fire, In q dream alone;
A nignonne mixture OF love and pride
She seemed, she loosed her zone.
She combed her tresses of tvondrous hair,
Her small white feet to the fire peeped ont.
Strangely huttered her bosom fair
And her lips had a wilful pout.
Whoever had seen that little Laurette.
Looking so innocent. tender and sweet,
Would have long'd TO have made her his own,
own pet,
To lie at her fair young feet.
Is it fear that dwels in those weird blue eyesf
For u is not love. and it Is not sorrow.
All little Laurot tie, from your dream arise,
You must be married Tomorrow.
Married to one who loves yon we'll,
Whose wealth 90 your life Will glory be.
Yet guess you are thinklng-Wn0 can tel -
OF Frank, VINO IS over the sea-
How happy they were, that girl aud boy,
On the garden terrace by moonlight met.
When 70 look in his eyes was the perfect JOY
OF that little darling Laurette.
How wretched they were, that boy and girl,
When for :he last, last time they met;
And he carried away o soft. bright curl,
And the heart of little Lauretts.
Pooh. pooh. her heart Why she hasn't heart I;
She allied tina; night with Sir Evelyn We're.
Into the greenhouse they strolIed apart
He's got twenty thousand year
house in Park Lanc-a chateau in France
A charming villa on Windermere.
She made up her mind IN that very first dance
She'd like TO be Lady We're.
The news will go out by Tie Overland Mail:
In a month OF Two poor Frank will hear
That London has nothing to dc but 10 hal
The beauty of Lacy We're.
She'll be Queen of Fashion, that heartless elf.

REAL PEOPLE IN NOVELS.
From The London Globe.


Dickens's books are crowded with personal adap-
tations, none, or very few Of which would ever
have been recognized but for the vanity or the
umbrage OF the principals themselves. HIS method
was To take strkingly singular trait OF charac
ter, some phenomenon i'll human nature, and sur
round it with qualities totally different from those
found in the original, and thus he preserved the
reality without exposing his model. We are not
told whether the elder Dickens deserted himself in
Micawber, but it is certain that nobody else did,
and how many OF the admirers OF Walter Savage
Lander would have recognized the poet in the
Boythorn" of Bleak House" When Dickens
was engaged on Dombey and Son on the CONT
nent he directed Mr.. Hablot Browne the artist, to
post himself at a certain spot in the City where he
would meet with gentleman of the type OF physi-
ognOmy which he wished Dombey, senior to take,
had he known tho design 1t is not to be supposed
that his veritable prototype would have considered
himself Dombey merely because the llnealnents OF
the two bore q marked resemblance

The Counterfeiter's latest Game.
Virginia fNev.) Chronicle. ]

An interesting little story hoated
up from Rome on this mornings train.
Last evening, shortly after s o'clock,
stylishlysdressed young man, with a
young woman of good appearance
hanging on his arm, called at the resi-
deuce Of one Of the ministers of the
place, and said he wanted the Services
of a clergyman to unit chin in mar
rage to the young lady. He did not
volunteer any information as to where
himself or his companion came from.
He produced his license and request
ed the clergyman to perform the GER
mony as simply and as quickly as
possible. Both were evidently of le-
gal age, and the parson at once tied
the knot, calling in the members of
his own family as Witnesses. When
the pair was made husband and wife
the groom drew $50 greenback from
a flat-looking pocket book and direct
ed the minister to stake $40 from
that" His reverence, with many
JudHks, LOOK buo Dllls auu hibcL Will
gent search, hunted up $40 in coin,
which he gave to the bridegroom, who
politely wished the minister aid his
family good evening, and walked off
with his blushing and timid bride.
This morning the parson was making
a tour of the hotels and using some
what worldly language. He could
find tue happy pair nowhere, and is
convinced that the marriage was a
mere trick to pass $50 greenback on
him. The bill was bogus, and as
both the bridegroom and bride have
gone none know whittier, it does look
as if some genius has discovered this
method of Showing the queer" The
awful sinfulness of the device does
not forbid the reflection that an enter
prising young man and woman could
soon grow rich by travelling and mar.
ring every hundred miles or 80.

Currants ana Their Cultivation.
BY E. P. ROE.

The first requisite is, not wetness, but
abundant and continuous moisture.
Soil naturally deficient in this, and
which can not be made drouth-resist-
ing by deep blowing and cultivation,
is not adapted to the currant. Be-
cause the currant is found wild in
boys it does not follow that it can be
grown succefully in undrsined swamps
1t will do better in such places than
on dry, gravelly knobs or on thin,
light soils, but our fine civilized vari-
eties need civilized conditions. The
well-drained swamp may become the
very best of currant fields /; and damp,
heavy land that is capable of deep,
thorough cultivation should be select.
ed if possible. When such is not to
be had, by deep blowing, subsoiling,
by abundant mulch around the plants
throughout the summer, and by
occasional waterings in the garden,
counteracting the effects of lightness
and dryness of soil, skill can go far in
making good natures deficiencies.
Next to depth of soil and moisture
the currant requires fertility. 1t is
justly called one of the "gross feeders. /"
and is not particular as to the quality
of its food so that it is abundant. /
would still suggest, however, that 1t
be fed accol ding to It's nature with
heavy composts in which muck, leaf
mold, and cleanings Of the stable
are largely present. Wood. ashes and
bone-meal are also most excellent. If
stable or other light manures must be
used, | would suggest that they be
scattered literally on the surface in
the fall or early in the spring, and
gradually worked in by cultivation,
Thus used, their light heating quail
ties will do no harm, and they will
keep the surface mellow and. there
fore, moist.
The shadowy northern haunts OF
the wild currant also suggest that it
will falter and fail under the southern
sun, and this is true. AS we pass
down through the middle states we
fiud it difficult to make even the
hardy white and red Dutch varieties
thrive, and point is at last reached
where the bushes lose their leaves in
the hot season and die. From the
latitude OF New York south, therefore,
increasing effort should be made to
supply the currant's constitutional
need by giving partial shade among
pear or widely set apple trees, or betA
ter still, by planting on the northern
side of fences. buildings, etc. BY
giving cool, half-shady exposures in
moist land, the culture of the currant
can be extended for to the south, es-
pecially in the high mountain regions.
Even we'll to the north it; is unprotit-
able when growing on light, thin poor
land, unless it receives liberal and
skillful culture.-From Success with
