FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
NEw YoRK, May ~, 1884,
The World Of to-day publishes its custo-
mary London letter, written, as every one
knows, by its regular correspondent, Mr..
L. J. Jennings, formerly of this city. I'm
der the sensational heading, "Hate Beyond |
the Crave" he contributes some Of the sill |
liest nonsense imaginable, relative to Mr..
Gladstone and the late. Lord Beaconsfeld. |
The recent speech of the former, when, in |
the House of Commons, he moyea the erec-
ton of a monument to his illustrious foe
man was declared by even such an uncom-
promising conservative as Mr.. Stafford
Northcote to be "a monument more endur-
ing than MARBLE" yet Jennings, whose let
ter was written before this event, charges
Mr.. Gladstone with vindictive feeling and
twits him with missing his train which was
to take him to the funeral at Haghendep.
This is of piece with the ordinary com
mon sense (of which be brags) and candor
of Mr.. l.. j. j., and is about as misleading
and unvaracous as bis statements regard
ing British men and affairs invariably are.
Any penny-a-liner could readily concoct
the mixture Of misstatements, truisms and
canards which the World dignhes as "Lon-
don Correspondence" The schoolmaster
abroad is not a circumstance TO the Journal
istic egotist and sciolist abroad.
Following the repeated accounts of John
McCullough's triumph on the histronic
boards of Dfury Lane come tidings of the
reversals of pats by Edwin Booth and Hen
ry Irving, the former changing to Iago and
the latter to Othelio. The London Times on
the whole accords the palm to Booth, but
then it must be granted that Otheito was
never Irving's ehef-d-earre, though he has
greatly improved in it. 1t is very crafty
ing to hear of the good feeling which sub
sists between the histronic brethren. Mr..
j. L. Tool, the comedian, "dined" McCul-
Tough at the Green Room Club, and on all
hands there seems to be very cordial feel
ing.
