Mr.. Gladstone, while not despairing of
peace, evidently believes that the final out
come OF the Afghan dispute will be war.
In his speech in the Commons on Monday
night he said In substance that England
wonld make all the sacrifices consistent with
the preservation Of her honor and the fulfill
nent Of her engagements with her allies for
the preservation of peace. 1t cannot sue
csssfully be denied that during the entire
controversy 30 far England has acted In good
faith, while the course Of Russia has been
enc Of duplicity and deceit. England has
acted as IL she was really DESTROYS of main
taisins the peace; Russia has behaved as if
she was determined to have what she was
after in Central Asia come what might. Ii
her designs there could be comprised by
diplomacy well and good. But If war was
necessary to accomplish them she has ap-
parently been ready to draw the sword at
any time.

A Story OF Sydney Smith.

Newton told me that, at dinner
party at Lord Lyndhurst's, at which
he was present, the conversation
turned on the custom, in India, of
widows burning themselves, aninstance
of which was recent. When the sub
ject was pretty we'll exhausted, Smith
began to defend the practice, assert
ing that no wife who truly loved her
husband could wish to survive him.
But if Lord Lyndhurst were to die,
you would be sorry that Lady Lynd-
hurst should burn herself Lady
Lyndhurst," he replied, would no
doubt, as an affectionate wife, consider
it her duty to burn herself; but it
would be our duty to put her out; and,
as the wife of the Lord Chancellor,
Lady Lyndhurst should not be put out
like an ordinary widow. It should be
a state affair; first, a procession of the
Judges, and then Of the lawyers. ?"
"But where, Mr.. Smith, are the clergy ?"
"All gone to congratulate the new Chan.
cellor. &C. Il. Leslie.

A Clover Club Dinner.

I think the most enjoyable dinners
nre those given by the Philadelphia
Clover Club. The organization is COM
posed of the jolliest set of men in the
Quaker City, and several hundred of
them dine at monstrous table in the
shape of four leayed clover. The Pc
culiarity of their dinner is that they
endeavor to confuse every man who gets
up to make speech. Nothing tickles
the club SO much as to get hold of a
man who resents such familiarity, and
they aye often tickled, for nothing is SO
startling to a dittident speaker as the
manners of the members after he has
begun to talk To say they are free
and untrammeied in the expression Of
their opinions concerning the speaker
is but feeble way OF putting it. The
glDes. sneers, leers. and comments
which assall the unfortunate speaker at
every wor usually reduce him to a
state o. glbbering imbeciiity before he
has snoken half an hour. Then, if he
is any sort OF a man at all. he turns
round and hovls out the !'est speech of
his lie, afte- which he is toasted to the
limit OF the law. 1t is certainly un-
conf rtabe at first to face such club
as this lannon's ore Of Philadelphia. I
remember very tall, slim, and grave
maa who rose to make a speech at one
OF the Clover Club dinners year or
two ago, and vino had evidently been
kept in ignorance OF the methods of the
members of that festive body. He was
railroad president Or something of
that sort, and his dignity was prefer
natural. First he coughed slightly be-
hind his hand, then thrust one hand in
his breast and rested the other in
stilted way upon the table. He looked
with a grave and important air and
coughed again. Then his voice came
slowly, distinctly, and with great POM
posity. Gentlemen, l am gratified."
The club raised its voice and some man
yelled "liar." No one laughed, and
the pompuous speaker grew ashy pale.
Once more he started Off, aud when he
got to the word gratitied the club yelled
"iar" at him again. Then he said very
quickly, before they had a chance to
yell again, Gentlemen, am gratified
to be with you this evening"" Before
he could go. any further the club burst
out with the stirring refrain:
We believe YOU. ~ believe you:
We believe you Just now:
just now We believe you,
We believe yon just now.
The dignitied and pompous speaker
stood there, looking bleak and for
saken, while the members Of the club
leaned back in their chairs and shouted
the song so that it made the glasses
dance on the table When they had
finished, the club saw their honored
guest giggling like schoolboy. For
once his dignity forsook him, and in the
next fifteen minutes he made as bright
and clever speech as had ever lis
tened to. I commend this plan to many
Of the clubs which give dinners: for
nothing can exceed the stupidity of the
average after-dinner speech.-Brook-
ly1a Eagle.
