! It's most undesirable that Chill should

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The runlors of Mr.
Gladsto1c's retirement and Of Cabinet
changes have subsideh as quickly as they
were raised.- If they were put out as feelers,
the RESPONSE of the Liberal papers all over
the country has been that Mr.. Gladstone's
personality is an Indispensable necessity
to the continuance Of the Liberal party Ill
power. and this acknowledgment Of the
Importance Of his personality is seized upon
by the Conservatives rs Il sign of want OF
coherence i'll the party. The past week was
distinguished by bitterness and an acrlnlon-
Gus recrimination unusual III English politics.
After Mr.. Bright had denounced the - fair
traders" rs lunntics anu r0gues, it was not
surprising to hear Lord Salisbury haunting
the Liberal Ministry with having eaten dirt,
In vain Sir William Vernon llarconrt re-
tored that he lid not understand the ,ic-
ccncics Of public discussion. Eut the
speech which
CAUSED THE MOST STIR
has been that IF Lord Randolph Churchill,
the dashiuE young leader Of the st,-cale.l
fourth party, who declared that what Sir
William lIarcourt had sail: did hot much
1natter, but that the Implication Of Indecent
representations by other Liberals must be
noticed. Lord Randolph Churchill styled
Mr. Gladstone as I'LL "incendiary, who mad
touched tile Invest depths of political cow
ardice aud ingratitule." Thereupon Mr..
Broadlturst denounced Lord Randolph
Churchill us a "miserable. contemplate
youn. man, Lord Wolyertnn told him
that lie w;as not worthy to black Mr.. Glas-
stones boots. Nevertheless Lord Randolph
Churcllills speech is well worth reading,
especially III reference to America and his
comparisons Of American and English COM
mcrcial prosperity, " hich are much in favor
of tile former and in advocacy Of fair trade.
CONFEDERATE BONDS.
I have made extensive Inquiries among
London bankers about the Confederate
bond mania. The general opinion
among tilancircs Is that nut 4 penny
is invested. and certainly not i'll tile name Of
the Confederate Government. The Bank
1T England does not accept investments
from foreign Goyernne1ts-only FROM IN
aividuals. Mr.. Pu'eston sayS that there has
been all inquiry for such funds for years,
but lie never could learn that 4 penny had
been invested here. 'Desidcs," he added,
. 1.-THE Confederate Government had no money
to send here at the time"
SUMMONED TO ANSWER.
Prof. Ferrier, Of Kings College, has been
summoned at the instance of the London So
cicty. for the Protection Of Animals from
Vivisection to answer 4 charge Of having
made experiments OIL. Il dog and
two monkeys during the International
Medical Congress III the presence OF

Prof. Mahalry has been utilizing Oscar
Wiitle's college career Us III illustration
of his thesis that stupid boy gaills
more than 4 brilliant one from Il
university training. Mr.. Gladstone has al
lowed the outline uf his hand to be taken for
a book about the hands Of distinguished men
about to be published. There is Il bet that
Oscars hands will need Il double page for
their pictorial representation lift-size.

Most critics attribute her failure 10 tie stu

more appreciated.
AUSTRALIAN MUTTON
brought at wholesale III London this week
3I;4i ptnce per pound. 1t is retaiIcd ut Il

Australian meat are unable to fatllom tile
mystery of the difference in the price they
receive and the price the public pay.
THE FUNERAL. Of THE E-AE!. OF AIRL1E
took,pacc ut Cortacl1y yesterday. 1t is a
curious fact that the late Earl was the unly
Liberal representative of Scotland in the
House Of Lords. The Earl OF Dalhousie
will probably receive tile City Of the Thistles,
made vacant by the death Of the Earl Of
