The admission of ':fair woman" as mem
ber Of the London School Board does not
seem to have produced that peaceful calm
which the gentler sex is supposed to bring
with it.. At 4 late meeting the Chairman
said lie must call Miss Taylor to order. She
was travelling outside Of her amendment.

the House of Commons, sir.'''
The Chairman" 1t is true that I am not
the Speaker Of the House OF Commons, ,bat.j
am Chairman Of this Board, and don't pro
fess to be more"
When the resolution was moved protests
against it were offered by Mr.. Cover, DR..
Wainwright, Mrs. Surr, and Miss Taylor.
Tile latter complained that the same meas
uro which was meted ont to one section Of
the Board was not meted out to another:
The Chairman said that tie must ask Miss
Taylor to withdraw such imputati0ns.

do: If not, l DON'T"

Board to move that the words uttered by a
member be taken down, but -

mark OF Miss Taylor with silent contempt

PARTY PATCHES AGAIN.


The Court Of st. James is worried, and its
worries are Of a womanly cast-unequaled
since the famous feud of the party patches
in the days when the eighteenth century
was young. The present difficulty has its
roots in. n matter of Court etiquet. With
that ciyilty which is 50 admirable Il trait OF

show their their respect for the memory Of
his Imperial llighness of Russia by wearing
mourning. This is not in itself a hard dis
pensation, aud, had the. departed Royal
doubt it would nave been acceded to without
a struggle or groan. But this matter Of
honoring the Car raises the sl1arpest Of
sharp party questions, that which has been
all along turning political England upside
down. On the other hand. Alr. Gladstone,
and all the Liberals with him, declares that
the Gar was wel-meaning sort of a person,
who, having come untinely to all uncomfort-
able end, reasonably may be ,mourned over
By all persons who are ciiaritably disposed.
every one OF the sjlngoes, holds that the Czar
was worse than all the beasts and yia1s in the
Apocalypse put together, md that lis taking

deserved. Now, Of course, If these are the
sentiments Of the men, the sentiments Of the
>StAs*t~s
more bitter; and SO you can see how it is
that one party rejoices while the other RACES
over the tQueen's command. Certain Of the
WING ladies are Overzca]ous to 20 to Court,
that they may there exhibit in their wltowly
weeds their party loyalty; while among the
Tory ladies some are So e1nbittered
that tits doubtful whether draug}it-horse
could drag them into the Royal presence
