Lord Coleridge, lord chief justice of En-
gland, proposes to visit the Uoited States
next summer as the guest of the Bar Associ-
alton of the State OF New York. Lord Gel
eridge is the next in legal dIgnities and hon.
ors after Eugand lord chancellor, and his
coming is looked forward to with great in
terest by the members of the New York bar,
by whom he is known, by reputation at least,
as not only shining light in the law, but
also a most eniertaing conversationalist and
charming afler-dinner speaker.
The London correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes: at was, hear, very
droll TO zee Mr.. Gladstone cheering and
clapping his hands as the troops marched in
on Sunday last. He Is extremely gay just
now-q ute in uproarious spirits-and was
enjoying himself vastly at the Lyceum The
alter on Wednesday, applauding Mr.. Irving
and Miss Ellen Terry in Much ado About
Nothing. BY the way, the man who OF all
others succeeds best in batting Glsdstone'-
that is, Lord Randolph Churchil-is look

his health and Spirits"
The memoirs of Admiral Dahlgren, edited
by his wife, are just out of press, and they
are hailed as a valuable contribution to the
history OF the civil war when it shall be
written. The only blemish in the book is
the rather tedious statements OF the autobi-
ographer as 10 his grievances, which are
many and aggravating. The lamented adj
miral was patriot and an inventive genius
of the highest order, and as such his memory
should be cherished, and il is a scandal on
his good name and fair fame that his griev-
ances should have been given so much prom
inence in his memoirs. Judicious editing is
what the book lacks.

foreign medical journal mentions the
case OF lady suffering from cramps in
the stomach, and 10 whom something less
than drop OF one per cent. alcoholic solu-
tion of nitro glycerine WAS given. In two
minutes the pulse fell from 40 to fifty, a
clammy sweat covered the features, and she
became senseless. Stimulants 10 the nose,
and brandy, were quickly administered and
in about three minutes more she began 10 re-
cover; the pain was completely gone and did
not return all that night or the following
day. While under the effect OF the singular
substance in question the patient felt, as she
subsequently stated, like two persons, aud so
strong was this impression that, although
entirely rational in her conversation and
composed as usual in her manner, she could
not dispossess herself of the illusion.
