Mhen Mr.. Gladstone was IN seotlan.

When Mr.. Gladstone was In Scotland,
he was greeted at Waverly Market with
exceptional demonstrations of enthusi-
asm. Fifteen thousand men made the
welkin ring with cheers as soon as Mr..
Gladstone rose. The air was rent with
the explosions of sound; the glass roof
shook, and people held their hands over
their ears to shut out the noise, The
hurricane of cheers beat pitilessly
against the galleries, and the excited
faces and wild gesticulation of the crowd
surpassed anything ever seen. Women
cried without reserve, and the veteran
statesmen on the platform were shaken
like reeds in storm. Even Mr.. Glad
stone was affected by this demonstra-
ton, but he was soon himself, and not
withstanding his seyenty-fiv years his
voice pealed out with all the sonorous
force of an organ, making itself distinct
" heard on the edges of the vast crowd
1t was great occasion, and great man
made himself equal to it by making a
great speech.

against John Fowler, purser Of the Potomac
river steamer Jane Moseley. This was suit
brought under the criminal clause of the civil
rights act for an alleged refusal to sell the
plaintiff a supper ticket on passenger steamer
plying between Norfolk and Washington.
Judge Smell, in his decision, said: ''The bur
den of proof is on the government to show that
Hewlett was refused ticket on account of his
color, race, etc The law has been declared I'M
constitutional so far states are concerned,

three-fourths of the traffic that passed
through the canal was British. 1t cost
