rage. and, walking up to his SOD, told
him that "he vas entitled to his respect

prove it." Lorls Melikoff endeavored
to pacify the Emperor, but was silenced
with a gesture from Alexander who

Kansas City Journal.

Russell, a asmall town in Kansas, on
the Kansas Pacific railway, is excited
over case of Joseph and Potiphar's
wife. There has resided in the town
fer some time past, a certain doctor and
his wife. She is possessed OF good
voice, ls an accomplished singer, and
fond of entertainments. She has been
attending musical society in Russell,
and her husband, being called away to
the bedside Of his patients, has not al
ways been able to accompany her
home. This duty fell upon moral
young man of the town, who is haem-
Der of the same church, good singer,
and likewise an attendant OF the musi-
cal society. The wife fell in love with the
young man, and one night her husband
being absent, she invited the young
man into her house, and talked and act
ed toward him in very unbecoming
manner. He was greatly astonished at
her conduct, and to his credit, be it
said, upbraided her. The woman stated
that she was in love with him, and now
that he had scorDed that love, life had
lost all its charms, and she would kill

young man was sorely perplexed. AT
ter leaving the woman, he repaired to
Rev. Campbell, pastor of the church Of
which he was member, laid the case
before him. and asked for advice. The
minister advised, notwithstanding the
lateness Of the hour, be proceed to the
residence of the justice of the peace,
who was aroused, and statement of
the facts sworn to. Somehow the affair
became known next morning. The
woman, who had failed to carry out
her threats, learning that her conduct
was the subject of gossip, hurriedly left
Russell. The next day her husband
followed suit. Their whereabouts is
now unknown. They left their furni-
ture, on which their was a mortgage,
and a foreclosure was made upon it.
The young man who was the innocent
actor in the little episode, is not pos

the woman, although possessed of a

THE admirers of Marshal MacMahon
will be sorry to hear that he is in pecu-
mary difficulties. A few weeks ago a
great part of the furniture of the Paris
residence of the ex-president was SOLD
by auction. The property disposed Of
included several valuable paintings and
some rare old furniture of the Louis
Quatorze period. The auction was
largely attended, and from every mouth
without distinction Of party, there fell
expressions of respectful sympathy
with the old soldier who neither in the
army nor as chief of the state had ever
turned farlhing of the public moneys
into bis own pocket.

Gladstone.
International Review.

As public speaker and parliament
tary debater he has no equal in En-.
gland since the days of Fox and Pitt,
except perhaps Brougham. He COM
bines as no one else the fervid elo-
quence, a copious and inexnaustible
command of language, marvellous
knowledge, ready and retentive men,
CRY, and great and varied powers of
reasoning. He has, too, a moral force
to which Brougham could lay no claim,
and which is probably more effective
than all the latter's power of sarcasm
and invectiye. But besides this he is
unqucstionably the greatest fnancier of
the day; his legislative achievements
surpass those Of any other statesman;
he is q great administrator and q deep
political thinker. He is also eninently
q political leader, not party leader
for in that capacity he has often sur
assed,-but great leader Of the peo-
pie on political questions, a leader who
can arouse the popular conscience and
guide popular opinion. Many detects
are Joined to all this greatness; but
what adds lustre to it is that these de-
fects are only intellectual. Unlike
many great men, we find in him no
vices to apologize for or to conceal. Not
only has his private life been stainless,
but his deep religious nature and high
moral convictions have had such in
fuence that, as has been justly remark
ed, he has perceptibly raised the stand
ard of public life and political morality
in England. His faults are the faults

On the last night of the sitting OF the
last parliament in England, there arose
a tall, erect figure, slight and sinewy,
but scarcely bent with the weight of
eighty-two years: who, announcing that
he was "on the brink of his grave"
warned the house while he lived not to
dare, as Lord Beacons6eld had done in
his manifesto, insult Ireland. This tall
old man, with flowing white hair and
beard and fiery eyes, was the OGor-
man Mahon, who, as he said, repre-
scented Clare fifty years ago in that
house, and Ennis after, and had been q
FIRE eater and redoubtable captain in
far away countries on sea and land.
Lord Beaconsfield had trodden on the
tail of the coat Of the martial patriach,
and the spirit Of the famous duellist
broke out in every sentence. At the
close the heroic slightly touched on the
ridiculous when, like Silas Wegg, he
'brOke into poetry"

WITH respect to DR.. Schliemann's dis
coveries at Mycere, the Russian savant,
M. Stephan, has expressed opinions
which have attracted considerable at
tention in Germany. The learned aca-
demician by no means disputes the
great antiquity of many OF the indi-
vidual objects unearthed by Dr.. Scnlie-
mann, he holds that the remains in
c'ude objects belonging to very differ
ent eras of history. He is of opinion
that the tombs originated with the bar
barlans who invaded Greece in the third
century B, c., and made the citadel of
Agamemnon one of the chief features
of their dominion. Here he believes
they buried their chiefs, and decorated
the tombs partly with such ancient
relics Of an earlier date as had fallen
into their hands, and partly with orna.
mental objects produced in their own
times.
