Mr.. Oscar Wilde's American story,
which we noticed yesterday, was first
introduced to England, or at least to
London, by Sir Charles Bowen, at a
great bar dinner about this time last
year. 1t was then given as a happen
ing in church, and the notice was,
Please do not shoot the organist; he
does his best. - This remote American
town, which possessed at least one
church and one organist, and evident
ly high standard of taste in ecclesi-
astical Service, was not improbably the
samewhich on another occasion boast
ed of three places of worship. Each of
these, as a rule, was crowded, till on
one Sunday morning, when the as
sembling worshipers found each
church or chapel fast locked and III
accessible. There was, for the mo-
ment, no resource but to dispense.
Later in the day, however, the mystery
was solved. A young lady IN the
town had sent an anonymous letter to
each clergyman in the following
terms: IAN is discovered fly. And
they fled.

FOREIGN news on the Dist was to the ef
feet that the injury sustained by Queen
Victoria, by her fall on the stairs Of Wind
sOr Palace is serious Her knee is much
| swollen. She is attended by the full
corps Of Royal Physicians, who report
that her condition is not dangerous, but
she may be confined to her room for
an indefinite time. Great anxiety is
felt by the people, and the streets near
the bulletin-boards are crowded. Great

The alarm of protectionists indicates how
the prospect for free trade is at present
frightened"

ferring to the renewal of the rumor that
Gladstone intends to retire soon from the

picked with fear of a sudden or immediate
change, which when it comes, can not but
affect the relations of Liberals to the cOun
try. The change can not be indefinitely,
nor counting by years, long deferred, and
it is well to keep it in mind and be pre-
pared for it.

says regarding Oliver c. Black, the colored

claims that he was discharged because he
