That is rs good as anything they can do Oh the

same thing. London is less full than usual, and
there are fewer people here than usual who are

desperation to start the most surprising topics.
Bishop Colonel and several British matrons have
written to line Times TO protest against indecent
pictorial advertisements III the streets and railway
stations of the metropolis. The drollery oil THO
lies in the fact that the paper publishes sdo
by side with these prudrsh protests n pretty full
report of the Armstrong case. But Will leave
these exciting matters untouched in ORDER to add

prosecution. There is no apprehension that he will
not be able 10 speak to the three meetings no has

health all accounts agree. 1 have been shoSn
letter from one of the guests at Hawarden this
week. who writes: Il have never seen Mr. Glad
stone in such good health aud cheerful spirits.
