1.-THE Americana
In politics he is q believer in q female SOW
ereign OF the Stuart race, with one minister
backed by a cabinet of cyphers and an un
questioning party; he is fond Of snowy poll
tics, such as will impress lockers on and mag
nlfy the central figure be delights in sur
prlses, in all Of which there should be an ele
ment of contempt for existing prejudices anl
precedents; he likes power for the mere
pleasure OF exercising it, but is as far from
realizing its responsibilities as he is from
desiring to profit personally by its opportuni
ties. He made bis queen ar empress and
his private secretary a peer, and he educated
his party into accepting a reform bill at ten
minutes notice. His view of public life il
not that Of Gladstone or Bright; nor yet is il
that Of the leaders who aim to build up and
maintain a party still less is it that Of the
men who engage in politics for sheer love OF
the excitement Of the game. A man OF
principle or of ordinary loyalty to his party
would never have taken some Of the steps
taken by Lord Beaconsfeld. And a man who
was earnestly devoted to his party or who
took an absorbing interest in politics would
never have survived the cataclysm Of last
spring. When Mr.. Gladstone's ministry fell
in 1874, the great liberal leader was over
whelmed with agony and dispair, and made
haste to retire from the field he had lost, and
to turn with savage earnestness to making
war on the Vatican, until the conviction came
to him chat the country was menaced by an
iniquitous foreign policy. We dare swear
that last April's defeat did not cost Beacons-
field an hours sleep. 1t was a surprise to
him, but the ludicrous nature of the specta-
Gle of the great Conservative party destroyed
without q moments warning, must have in
stantly commended itself to him, and he
doubtless thought, "Well, it will be interest
ing to see Salisbury and Northcote get out Of
this mess!!' To him the perplexity Of his
late colleagues is as indifferent-if not quite
as positively diverting-as that Of Mr.. Glad
stone. The rage, dispair, the regret, the self
accusation of a party leader who has de-
stroyed his party and lost the game Of his de-
light-none of these Lord Beaconsfield could
feel. Had he been in Pitts place when
Austerlitz was fought, instead Of dying Of 9
broken heart, he would have been found q
few months later on the opposition benches,
haunting the new government with the an
successful consequences of his own foreign
policy.

| Carlyle looked out from under his shaggy
eybroWs with the deep fire of his departing
soul, earnestly, seriously and almost savagely.
His thin, scraggy, scrawny face, with coarse
| gray grizzly beard, his compressed deter.
mined lips, made a dual picture of the inner
man of youth fighting against the outer one
Of decay. His thin. bony, expressive hands
made all his sledge-hammer sentences come
TO my memory. and I could quote pages of
them by sheer enthusiasm. Presently his
niece reappeared and said, la, me, you've
taken off the mittens!' Thereupon she en-
cased those wiry hands with knitted Woollen
mittens SO ,large and SO loose that all the cleo
trical expressiyeness of the hands was in
stantly gone. I remembered at once all the
force Of what Sir Arthur Helps wrote on
great hands and their greatness Of express
sion." Not large and loose hands; great
ones. Carlyle wore a black velvet skull cap,
which did not improve his appearance, and
around his body had his favorite plaid sha vi.

Growth of Tobacco In Ireland.

The following coiloquy took place the
other day in the British Parliament
Sir j. EARDLEY-WILMoT asked the Chan
cellor OF the Exchequer /! he would con.
slider the desirability OF allowing the Irish
farmers TO grow tobacco on lands now un-
cultivated in Ireland as an inducement 10
them to bring those lands into cultivation,
and at the same time TO supply themselves
with an article which, in their climate and
condition, was one Of the neeessaries OF
life; such tobacco 10 be retained for home
use and not 10 be exported, it having been
stated, on good authority, that the moisture
of ireland was peculiarly favorable to the
growth Of tobacco, and that il f1ourisbed
formerly in that country.
Mr.. GLADSTONE: There has been no recent
discussion on the subject OF the growth OF
tobacco in Ireland, and il the question
should be raised 1t would undoubtedly have
to be considered with reference to the king
dom at large. The honorable member is
probably aware that for about fifty years
the growth Of tobacco has been permitted in
Ireland, and that its growth was protected
By high dIferential duties. We also know
that the repeal OF that permission was re-
commended By the Commission Of 1880,
inasmuch as the experiment was not sue
ccssful. At the same time | regret the pro-
hibition Of any agricultural product by law
as very unsatisfactory. / am at all times
open 10 the reception OF any statement or
suggestion tending 10 show that il that pro-
bibition was removed We could satisfactorily
levy the duty on the commodity If grown at
home as we do when imported.

Curiosi,.es of Commerce.

The balance OF trade in favor OF the
United States for the year ending June 80.
1850, was S167, 900, 600, but the statistics OF
cur foreign commerce present some curl
GUS details not generally so well known as
the aggregate excess OF exports over i'm
ports. We sell 10 every country in Europe
more than we buy from it, with the single
exception OF Greece. Our trade with that
little State is so trifiing:tbat tie exception
Is hardly worthy OF note, so that II may be
said that in the present trade relations OF
the world the continent OF Europe Is
throughout its whole extent our debtor.
Our excess OF exports TO that continent
over imports from ii amounts TO S34S,O00,-
600. During the year under consideration
Great Britain took from US in excess OF
what she sold Us merchandise amounting
to SAB, 900, 900. The sum OF our imports
from that country was S2l0,6O0,000, so that
she paid us cash for more than half her
purchases from us. This enormous cash
balance was not settled entirely by an ac-
tual transfer Of money, but the equiyalt mt
of money was paid for it all in some way
or other. or the other nations OF Europe,
France owed us a cash balance OF over $780,

A WORD About THE NEW HoTEL.-Tbe
scheme for building a new hotel on the
Spotswood site Is rapidly assuming shape,
and the greater part OF the necessary bonus
has been raised. Only about $4,000 more
is needed. The question now Is simply
whether the citizens. merchants, manufac.
turers, and property-owners will stand on
and allow this scheme 10 fail through.
Much time and attention has been paid by
few prominent citizens 10 bring this matter
to successful close, and the travelling
public will bail such an event with plea
sure. A grand hotel. complete and thor
ough in all its apartments, Is great de-
sideratum; and the one question now is
whether tue amount will be subscribed to
help and complete the arrangement and
plans, or whether we shall allow Mr.. PAGES
proposition TO be refused. Ii is generous
one, and should by all means meet with
success.
