The Madrid correspondent OF the
Times says that the cholera scare
there is exaggerated and that the dis
ease is only OF the mildest form.

THE CONSERVATIVES READY.
Everything in regard to governme MT
crisis is still unsettled. Thei Standard,
servatives are ready to form a govern
ment at the bidding of the queen. The
News (LibeTal) urges Gladstone to per-
sist in his resolution to resign, and says:
A few months of hateful Tory rule will
return him to power, stronger than ever
before.
THE TIMES ADEISES.
The Times advises the ministers to
reconsider their intentions to resign.
1t says the vote Monday night was due
to the determined measures OF the Lib
sral whips for getting members to at
tend. 1t plainly intimates that the
ministers will find that the queen Will
insist on being given urgent reasons
tor their proposed action and even then
will probably refuse to accept their res
ignation.
THE QUEEN sTEADFAsT.
The Standard says: "It is understood
the queen has requested Gladstone to
submit to her his views in full OF the
| political crisis in order that arrange
ments may be made to avert the imme-
diate change in the ministry" "lt 1s

SHAT the queen will accept the resigna,

decision will be reached concerning the
question of changing the government
until her majesty's return to Windsor
Castle. There exists suspicion which
daily deepens that the Gladstone min
Istry courted their recent defeat for the
purpose of concealiug unoer its excite.
ment their own dissensions. State
ments made since their defeat by some
Liberal members, who absented them-
selves from the vote on the fatal dects-
ion, show that the government might
have saved itself on that vote If it had
cared seriously to do So"

moment, Whenever we asked tor infor. nation, we were told that our army was cut to pieces our friends had met with their deserts, and been swept from the face of the earth, etc. So we knew not what to think.
 At last we were told that letter had arrived, together with bundle of clothes for which had asked, and of which we stood sorely in need. The letter (like our owD) was written in Chinese, and was formal and cautiously expressed. Hoping that all might be amiczbly AT. ranged, provided the Chinese would treat on reasonable terms etc. Still, we felt there must be something more than this {; and eagerly we undid the bundle and put en he clothes that had been sen.

PORTRAIT OF A LADY.

 mean,
 Vet in articulate feature to declare The form that haunts my thought divinely
 fair
 Strikes all denial dumb. Here, take my best No noise thou hearst, no preparation blows A trumpet where my perfect lady goes: Nor with rude tramp she beats the hollow
 ground,
 Nor minces nicely nor with girlish bound Trips the light sod. a woman, not fairy, Upon an earthly base, firm poised her airy Copsistence rests. No Haunting, broad dis Of rustling founces marks her gentle way, But like the breexes of fthe.light-~inged May, Softly she comes, and fragrant all as they. Oh, she is lovely! All the summer dSells In her bright eyes, and every feature tells A treasured sweetness of the soul within, That beats like music through the lucid skin And when she speaks soft, silvery accents
 flow
 Full throated from mellow depth below, Not clipt in shrSds, nor with a tinkling din, A shallow splash from hollow heart within. Not bold is she to place herself before The first, nor slinks demure behind the door, But takes her place just where she ought to
 be,
 Nor makes you feel when there that 1t is she. With native grace and me, untutoied mien, She greets the poor, or stands before queen, Sweeps with light, floating ease the festal
 floor,
 Or bends OCT sick beds with the suffering
 poor.
 She hath no pastures, knows no attitudes; Her unschooled gesture gently shows her
 moods;
 She casts no proud and patronizing eye On those below, nor ducks before the high. All things to all she is tor why f-in all Her skill is to be true and natural, True to herself. and to the high ideal That Gods grace gave her to inform the real ; True to her kind, and to your every feeling Respondent with power of fkindliest healing. She knows no falseness; even the courtiiest
 lie
 She dl cams not; truth flows from her deep
 tlue eye;
 And if her tongue speaks pleasant things to
 all,
 Iris that she loveth well both great and
 small;
 And all in her that mortals call politeness, Is but the image of her bright souls bright
 ness
 Direct from heaven. Such is the perfect fair Whom in my hear, hold and worship there And if the picture likes thee well to see, Know, lady, more than half stole from thee
