Mr. GIadstone'S Habits

a writer in the Paris Figaro devotes
three columns to Mr.. Gladstone, in the
course of which he says: "Mr. Glad
stone leads the life of gentleman far
mer. He rises early and is very ab-
stimious. He chiefly eats fish, because
that diet stimulates the brain. He takes
two glasses of Burdeaux, because that
wine Is a tonic of the cervical matter.
He takes one glass of port, because
that is the orators wipe. Mr.. Glad
stone, it will be seen, Is logical even IN
his mods vivendi. On Sundays he
reads the lessons Of the Presbyterian
rite at church. People GO from five
leagues round to near his sonotous
voice. Aflerward he puts on his stout
wooden-soled boots, with nails as bigs
as those on old church doors, takes an
axe, and the ex-prime minister be-
comes a wood-cutter."
WAITING for Providence.-Itis related
that the celebrated Welsh preacher,
Christmas Evans, was once discussing
the potato question with his thrifty.
diIigent wife, and perhaps in playful
but still in a characteristic, way said to
her: "Catharine, you never mind the
potatoes; put your trust in Providence,
and all will be we'll" 81 tell you what
we'll do, Christmas" replied Catharine;
"you go and sit down on the top OF

I'll go and hoe me potatoes; and we
shall see to which of US Providence will

GEN. SHERMAN was recently in Arizo-

ball, every one who subscribed $40

officer, who was one of the three or
four hundred, says that in the midst of
the joyous dance a miner, hardy son
of toll, with unkempt hair, soiled face
and hands, and the usual miners outfit,
trousers in his boots, in shirt sleeves, a
belt filed with cartridges, pistol, and
knife, approached the entrance.door

my friend, how much does it cost to get
