sends notes to one of his beautiful assis-
fantc which often handed to diSoraat mag

tants, which often handed to discreet mes
sengers under the eyes Of Mrs. Gladstone
are suppressed. Commenting upon the ru-
mors about Mr. Gladstone's alleged relations
with Madame Noridoff, the editor of
the NOuvelle Revue, which is publishing
Count Vasilis' letters, declares as friend
of this lady that the reports are false. He
added, however, that he cannot affirm that
a woman of such intelligence as that
possessed by Nine. NOvidoff is not flattered
by the sentiments with which she inspires
Mr. Gladstone, but he denies that she has
ever responded, even with a shadow of
Irritation. Count Paul Vasali refers to
Lord Hartington's alleged long connection
with celebrated duchess. The count says
the marquis does not attempt to
PLEASE ANY OTHER WOMAN.
''She governs him entirely" the count
says, Ward is discreet enough
to respect the proprietress of
society, which, thankful for this,
concession, closes its eyes" Equally UNI
scrupulous is Vasalis' reference to Sir
Charles Dixie. ''An advocate for crema-
tion," the count says, '.he
had his young wife cremated and
another woman, alive, makes him glow
with gentle flame. Fair, intelligent and
distinguished, the friend OF Sir Charles still
is not as grand lady as the friend of the
Marquis of Harrington, but she still tax es
him away from tile vulgar life. Being mar
ried, she will break the ties which enchant
her to share life which she has conquered"
Count VaSali relates no scandals about the
Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, president of
the board of trade. Count Vasali's style is
bright and entertaining. He convinces his
readers that he knows what he is writing
about, and he exercises a remarkable talent
for telling, by suggestion, deal more than
he appears DESTROYS to make known. This
second letter is principally abont the
ENGLISH ROYAL COURT.
Concerning the court he says: ..soThe
very air about the royal residences is filled
with envy, hatred and malice. The 931
persons attached to the court are in all
terrestrial purgatory. Those Immediately
attached to the queen are the greatest suf-
ferers. Nothing, can be compared
to the bondage of the chief
lady in waiting. She must sacrifice hef
habits; her personal tastes and even her
opinions. Alas, for her. if she happens to
be a better musician or a more skilIful
draughtswoman than the queen. After
many mere observations of the same kind.
Count Paul says of her majesty;
ssThe queens fayorite topics of CONVEX
sation are sombre, lugubrious things. Fearful
maladies, shocking deaths, funerals, every
thing belonging to the dominion of the
horrible her majesty adores and she dotes
on stirring stories about murders,
executions and suicides. Thus, a young
American lady who, one day dnring din
ner, described graphically the sufferings
and death of President Garfield. became
at once favorite with the queen, who
made the young lady her guest for weeks. :"
The
PRINCE OF WALES
comes into Count VaSalis' letter for great
deal Of space. In one paragraph about a
prominent characteristic of his. royal high
ness, the author has the following: 1.-THE
Prince of Wales graciousness toward pretty
WOmens amounts to weakness. His
mothers court is the gayest
court 8 in Europe. The Prince
himself allows his fair friends any famil-
iarity which they may choose to take, and
he often overlooks very striking liberalities.
This Incompatible fact helps him to get out
of the most delicate positions. The prince
knows how to remain the grand seigneur,
amid all the ROBUSTNESS of pretty women.
1t is rllmored steps will be taken to suppress
the publication of Count Valalis' letters in
the English papers.
From st. Petersburg comes the news that
thesRussian government has decided upon
Russianizing the German provinces along
the Baltic. Fe accomplish this the czar
issued Ilkase that hereafter
THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE
shall be taught in all the schools in these
provinces and shall entirely replace the
German language in those schools, wherein
heretofore it has been taught. A similar
edict has been issued in Warsaw in the Off
cial journal. This makes the German Ian
gnage the sole language to be taught in all
the elementary schools throughout Rus
sian Poland.
1t is announced that as soon as the
Anglo-Russian difficulty is adjusted the
cZerina will visit the Princess of Wales in
London.
The Duke of Edinburg will succeed Adj
miral Sir John Hay in the command of the
British fleet in the Mediterranean if yeace is
definitelp secured. The prince, George of
Wales, is to be appointed as lieutenant on
his uncle's flag ship.
The rush for press and authentic copies
of the revised Old Testament is unprece-
dented i'll England. The Pail Mall Gazette
states, this evening, that the London cor
respondent of New York newspaper
offered $500 for simply a sight of an adj
vance copy of the revised Old Tesla
ment. At one of the university
publishing house. The officers having the
printing in charge were obdurate in refus-
ing to accede to the obstinate request. The
correspondent, the Gazette says, was
authorized by his paper to spend $4,000 in
telegraphing the main features of the new
version. The first orders for the issue of
revision amounted to over million copies.
Trial of Dynamiters.
LONDON, May 16!-On the resumption of
the trial of Cunningham and Burton this
morning Mr.. Richards, counsel for Cum
ningham, began his address to the jury.
He contends the witnesses, who had teSti-
fed that Cunningham was one of the three
men travelingain the guards, broke from
whence the dynamite bomb was thrown
which caused the explosion OH the under
ground railway on the night of Jan. 2,
Cover street, were mistaken in their iden-
tity of the men. Mr.. Richards declared
that his client was totally ignorant in re-
gard to the defamation in the brown trunk,
and in fact knew nothing of the working of
the detonator. The attorney general, in
reply, said that Burton made his statement
only fter hearing the evidence, max
ing conspiracy palpable. On the
conclusion Of the attorney gen.
erals argument the case was
adjourned till Monday. Mr.. Richards, in
his argument for the defense. insisted it
was highly improbable that Cunningham
would stand by when his trunk was being
first searched by the police without making
some effort to secure the detonatOr, if it had
been there, and that it was equally improb-
able that the police were so negligent as not
to find the detonator if it had
been in the trunk either in
