His sympathy in that respect hal. some
times led to mi soonception of his views. He
has heart and soul with the Italians in
their struggle for unity, and he even ran
the risk of offending Austria by bis very
outspoken opinions. He had. and has
now qnite a romantic attachment to
Greece, and the states of the Danube find
in him warm political friend. AT times
his opinions respecting thess states have
been to say the least, inconvenient, but
they have been SO truly English in spirit
that few could complain of them. Mr..
Gladstone's conduct during the worst days
of neutrality-suspicious. will never be for
gotten by many a great Italian statesman
and his utterances still live in 1.-THE hearts
of the Italian people. His passionate
appeals against the political martyrdom
of that magnificent country undoubtedly
paved the way for Garibaldi. and helped
to make the italian people understand, for
the first time. their real power and impor.
lance. For this one noble deed, if he had
done nothing else. the Premier's name
would go down to posterity.
| Sir Thomas Watson. the head of the
medical profession in England, is dead at
the advanced age of 80 years. He was
born in 1892 at little village in Devon
shire, but came of old Northumbrian stock.
He, was educated at Cambridge, where he
was elected Fellow. He then studied
medicine at St. Bartholomew s hospital in
London and at Edinburgh, and in 1926
was admitted as Fellow of the Royal
college of physicians. From that day
until bis death the record of his life was
the record of the honors which were hear.
ed upon him.
Mr.. Bradlaugh is stirring up his friends
pecting that seat in the House which he
has SO ardently coveted and which he has
been SO frequently denied. He says he had
hoped that he might ultimately gain his
ends without resorting to physical force,
but he now sees no other way than by
taking the House of Commons by storm
He feels certain that thirty thousand of
his friends would come from the country
but they ought to be supple mented by
ninety thousand in London. Then it would
be case of "See the conquerng hero
comes!" Mr.. Bradlaugh thinks; for be
believes the tories would have no chance
against him. AUGUST.

R. L. Stevenson tell pretty story
illustrative of the power of romance. A
friend of his, Welsh blacksmith, was
twenty-five years old, and could neither
read nor write, when he heard chapter
of Robinson Crusoe" read aloud in farm
kitchen. Up to that moment he had sat
content, huddled in his ignorance; but he
left that farm another man. There were
day dreams, it appeared, divine day
dreams, written aud printed and bound,
and to be bought for money and enjoyed
at pleasure. Down he sat that day,
painfully learned to read Welsh, and
returned to borrow the book. 1t had been
lost, nor could he find another copy but
one that was in English. Down he sat
once more, learned English, and at length,
and with entire delight, read Robinson"

The Constantinople correspondent o.
the New York Tribune writes: Gen
Lew. Wallace has been taking vacation
trip down the Syrian coast, and has been
shown fiattering attentions by the Turkish
officials everywhere. 1t has been his good
fortune to visit the holy places at Hebron.
The sultan directed him to be admitted to
the sanctuary. This honor has only been
accorded hitherto to Europeans of royal
blood, and the number who have entered
tue sacred inclosure can be counted on
the fingers. Mrs. Lane, who was in the
generals party, is, I think, the first Chris.
tiau woman who has been allowed to enter
the place."

Winter Politics,

When the days begin to lengthen and
the cold begins to strengthen the state
governments in most of the states start up
such new wheels as they have got, and
about the same time the admirers of
General Jackson" get together and
celebrate the hero of New Orleans and his
battle.
The New Workers have their new dem
ocratic machinery in operation and Gov.
Grover Cleveland is started off in his
training for presidential candidate under
very fair auspices.
Out in Indiana the democrats are worry
ing whether they shall have Hendricks Or
Mcdonald as democratic presidential can
didate in 1884.
Ohio that led the column OF democratic
victories could give couple of democratlc
presidents TO the country if Thurman were
not so old and if Gentleman George"
Pendeton had not gone and done it by bis
civil service bll-'taken the bread from
his partys mouth" as some ofits opponents
put it.
Mr.. Pendeton' civil service bill has very
queer fortune in the House. Mr.. Kasson
had trouble in getting his committee
together, but finally got a quorum and
reported the bill to the House last week
Then S. S. Cox, ex Ohio and presenl New
York democratic representative. proposed
it be put on its passage and after ,hirt,
minutes debate the question wa, put anu
the bill went through l55 to H. Thus dice
many amendments that were to be pro
posed and about fifty eloquent speeche,
that were to have cen delivered. Blu
the civil service bill becomes law anc
will, on the whole, work considerable,
good either of itself or as wedge lettin
IL legislation OF more perfect and practic
kind.
In Michigan and Minnesota there is
tribulation among republican Legislators
about electing successors TO Ferry anc
Window, and in Massachusetts Senator
Hoar is troubled by the friends of Gov
Long. 1t is to be hoped that the Bay state
will either find Mr.. Hoar more considerae
OF the feelings of other if it re elects him
or will choose Gov. Long who is gentle
man in the good old meaning of the
word.
But, as always, the best winter politics
is in the fighting over again of the battle
of New Orleans. And down in Boston
Monday evening they did it for the 6St
time. The proceedings are interesting
reading for Cleveland, Bayard, Hendrck,
and Mcdonald, for up looms Uncle Ben
jamin as presidential candidate.
The general spoke and others spoke and
it all meant-for president, General B. F
Butler. This is thing that means music
by the whole of large band and there
were a few funny notes struck in beginning
practice. There was Mr.. TiIden's letter
in which he expressed himself as in
sympathy with what would be the spirit
ofthe meeting, and Mr.. Pillsbury's speech
in which part of that spirit was expressed
by saying that if Butler was ever elected
president all things of the evil place
couldn't stop him from taking his seat
Then there was hope expressed by
the representative Vermont democrat that
when read by the side of this weeks lead.
er in that democrats paper mikes anybody
all up. But politics are mixed just now
anyway and will continue so until they
thaw out.

1t was stated in Washington specia
to the Hartford Post, recently, that if the
bill to increase to $40 month the pension
of ex.soldiers who had lost an arm or lee

would be about 100000. The exsc
figures, according TO the letter of Commits

Assuming $4,000 claims of this class will

made 10 the above figures. Then there
are over 100000 invalids claims on file
in the pension bureau, of which humble,

The Jury that tried the case of the State
VS.. Hilas Davis for an assault on his son,
Clarence F. Davis, rendered verdict of
mot guilty. The court then took up the
case of State VS.. Asa Magoon, who was
indicted for larceny of quantity of maple
sugar from one Moore, neighbor Of his.
1t appears that Sheriff Collins, in company
with Mr.. Moore, searched the premises OF
the said Magoon and found a quantity OF
sugar which Moore claimed to be his, and
they took possession Of it. Verdict, mot
guilty" based, as we learn, on lack OF
evidence which sufficiently identified the
sugar.
The State VS.. Philip DeParis, indicted
for assault with intent to kill. The
respondent was arraigned and plead guilty
to simple assault He was fined 800 and
costs, amounting to Sl75.
