LONDON, May 23.--The attempt to stir mp
a feeling IN England against France over The
Tunis affair, which was mainly Irs' cred by
the Tori~s, ias proved a fZzle. TIL English
people do not caIe about Iunis and their YER
die, IS that France is only doing in the North
what England has been doing IN the South
of Africa. The LonGan papers have ex-
pressed great indi- uation at the answer of the
Paris Journals, which was to this effect.

put a high value upon the good understand

New YORK, May 23.-Ife If20une says:
senator Cprkling, III answer to the inquiries
of friends, said he was in the hands OF his
friends AID would do what they thought hest.
He dld not think his state approved Of the
course Of men who proved traitors TO General
Grant al Chicago, and the state would show
that its senators did right i'll proJestinga against
rewardina them. Notwithstanding the con
fdent talk of Conkliug men last night, they

LONDON May 23.-Glalstone has recover
ed from the attack of dysentery which pros
trated him some DAVIS ago and appears i'll his
old place liz the House, but the signs OF de-
cay are becoming more and more manifest in
him. This has been a trying session for him.
The Clerical papers are still abusing him for
not slamming the doors of the House in
Bradlaugh's face. 1t is strange that the Pre-
mier, who has been all his life all intense
Churclman, should be so bitterly hated by
members of the established church.
The Disraeli crowd was once described as the
blank between the Old and New Testament
and the parson found regard for him. OF
course their hostility toward Mr.. Gladstone
arises in sons degree from fear that he will
lay sa~crilegious hands upon the establish
menr and turn it loose among dissenters as he
did the Irish Church, but that does not ac.
count for the vemonous eagerness with
which they pursue him when as in this Brad
laugh business a mob is at his heels.
