Notebook.
London Letter to New York World.
Lord Beaconsfeld once publicly declared
that he ruled mankind by 'despising 1t, and
his books, his speeches, and his actions COM
bine to prove that his cynicism was real, and
not merely assumed for occasional use.
Nothing more distinctly shows his habitual
tone of thought than the contents of we'll
thumbed little Ms. note book, which literary
friend of mine has recently had the good
fortune to light upon while overhauling a
a box of miscellaneous rubbish in small
shop in the neighborhood of Clare market,
London. This important ''ind" is small
oblong 12no vol. Of 100 pages, bound in
faded Russia and somewhat stained by damp.
Inside the cover Is Disraeli's autograph; and

man in the world in arms against their
author.

this unique commonplace book. and pro-
pose in the present letter to collect those
which more particularly and pointedly deal
with the ever attractive subject Of woman.
Let me, however, disclaim sym pathy with
the more rough and ungallant of the seni-
ments expressed. think that Disraeli has
treated the sex aoominably. Still, cannot
avoid occasionally laughing with him, for his
reflections, though not always just are gener
ally amusing. Here Is a first budget of ex
loacts:

1T is recorded that God said: Let us

1t would perhaps, have been impolitic in
Moses to hint more directly that woman was

clusion, however, is obvious.
''There is no marriage in heaven; neither
