Lord BcacOnSflcld,

Lord Bcaconsiicld may be fairly called
great man on his own definition of a
great man--aS zone who affects the
minds of his generation, whether he be
monk in his cloiStcr agitating Christ
cndom or monarch crossing the Gran
icus and giving anew character to the
pagan world" Lord Bcaconsticld GER
tainly affected the minds of his genera
ton, and the part he chose to play in
doing so was more akin TO that of Alex
andcr than that of Jerome or a Mar
tin Luther. Indeed, the difficulties that
the young Disracli had to encounter in
his career were scarcely less imposing
than those which opposed, but did not
rctard, the progress of the Macedonian
king; nor We're the victories of the ono
less splendid than the triumphs of the
other. The young Dsraeli began life rs
jew, when TO be Il jew meant TO be
deprived of every social and civil adj
vantage that makes public career
worth striving for The position of q
conquered Samnitc in world of Roman
citizens was scarcely more CALLING than
the position OF jew in England in the
early part of the present century. He
was not, it is true, any longer tortured
at the'plcasurc of prince or noble; he
was no longer condemned to dwell in n
ghetto or wear garments of a peculiar
cut or c"'o'; but ALL or almost all,
chanr Vi political promotion were
closed against him in his adopted coun-
try He might amass n fortune; he
might win distinction in letters and the
arts, but he could not place his foot on
the lowest round of the ladder that led
to political distinction. These Difficult
ties did not long restrain and impede
the young Disracli. He had been
brought up u Christian. AS n Christian
he could enter the parliament, which it
was then impossible for n jew TO enter,
and once in parliament, he felt that his
career was clear before him and his sue
cess certain. But though he never pro-
tossed the religion of his race, Disraeli
never forgot his reverence for that race
nor his love for the people from whom
he sprang. In his writings, in his
speeches, in all the actions OF his life
he was the champion, and most
powerful and effective champion, of the
Jewish people. Into the mouth of his
favorite character, Sidonia, he puts an
eloquent tribute to the genius and tho
glory of the jewish race, which repre-
scntS his own convictions and the prin-
ciples which governed him during the
whole of career that was i'm itself the
most eloquent tribute to the genius of
his people. "Emgiand Under Glad-
stone" Justin H. Nc CdrMy, Member of
Parliament.

Two Gentlemen.

| saw two gentlemen on strcct-car
lately. One of them was grown up. He
was handsomely dressed in a gray busi.
ness suit, and had very neat Kid gloves
and fine boots. The other was about IL
years old. His jacket had several
patches and needed more, and his shirt
was of brown cotton and not very
clean. DO you wonder how | knew Inc

The boy went through the car to give
some message TO the driver. AS nc re-
turned he gave a little jump through
the door, and rs he did SO his bare foot
touched the crowns gcntlcman's knee,
and left Il little mud on it. Turning
around on the platform, he raised his
straw hat and said very politely, in o
clear tone, "Plcasc excuse me. Then
the other gentleman bowed in his turn
just as he would have done to one Of his
own age, and said with pleasant
smile, "Ccrtainly" p"

"Tho Duchess of Edinburgh is said to
be more than ordinarily clever and cul-
tiyatcd," writes Adam Badeau in the
last of his papers on aristocracy in En-
gland. From those admitted to her
intimate society have heard that she is
better informed in politics than many
women in Europe in any sphere. Sho
reads the newspapers of all countries,
including those of America; she is ac-
quainted with the position of parties in
the United States, knows the names and
history Of our public men, and can dis
cuss the measures important here with
greater facility than many OF onr own
country-women who think themselves
well informed. If this is so with re-
gard to democratic America, of course
It is so with reference TO European
States and Courts"
