How Letters of Coincidence Were Written.

How Letters of Coincidence Were written.
How often does not the lion owe
great deal to the mouse, or, TO put it in
another way, how frequently do not
great men take credit for ideas originat-
ing in little mems brains? The death of
Gen. Grant is still an event remembered
by all. II may bt recollected that fol-
lowing close upon the receipt of the news
in London, letters of sympathy were
cabled from Gladstone, Bright, Irving
and Matthew Arnold. To the American
and the English public it seemed that
each of these four men was simultane-
ously struck with the same benevolent
project; and they duly received the re-
fected honor of their act. But they were
mere puppets, worked by an enterprising
reporter, at whose prompting they wrote.
This journalist had no easy task before
him. His original scheme included the
obtaining of similar effusion from Lord
Salisbury, but he was thwarted by the
marquis hall-door keeper in Arlington
street, a great, burly man, with sublime
Indifference TO the power of the press,
and an inveterate hatred Of every scribe;
in fact, a grand fiunkey. Again at John
Bright's house the venerable statesman
in heat gave peremptory orders to his
man not to bring up the reporters card,
ayerring that he had not been Inter
viewed" for nine years. However the
right honorable gentleman changed his
mind and indited the desired letter.
Mr.. Gladstone at the time was out of
office and at home, enveloped in bundle
of hearthrugs and wrappings which had
that appearance. The sentinel at the
door was a cheeky private secretary who
took upon himself To refuse conmunica-
tion with the ex-prenier. The rebuffed
journalist sadly wended his way home.
ward disappointed, but on the road met
Mrs. Gladstone in a carriage, which he
hastily stopped, He explained his busi-
ness and was asked by the lady to return.
Much to the private secretary's chargin
the reporter handed Mrs. Gladstone out
of her bruugham and was conducted by
her to the grand old man, who, immedi-
ately perceiving the opportunity. scrib-
bled the letter which in due course ap-
peared on both sides of the Atlantic

Hardships Of q PrInce,a Life.

The Swedish chamber was deaf TO the
arguments which King Oscar deigned to
put forward in the message in which he
demanded life annuity of 1880 for his
second son, the duke of Gotland. The
chamber thought the king was rich enough
to provide for his younger children. and
that in the present depression of trade it
was his duty to do SO. He urged that his
sons are virtually excluded from profes-
sional career, and that whatever aptitude
they show as officers in the army or navy
they are not allowed to draw pay. They
are also limited, he contended, in their
choice OF wives TO royal houses, and are
expected in their domestic arrangements
to keep up the dignity Of the condition to

Swelling the Tide of Blue BIosd.

Beauty has always won the favor Of
the British peers. The eldest son, or the
man in possession, can afford to please
his taste, and doubtless the handsome
looks of many of the nobility are due to
the beautiful women who have recruited
its ranks SO largely. The illegitimate
children of sovereigns have been enno-
bled down to the last reign, and in the
present day young peers and heirs have
sought mates in half a score of instances
among those whose presence sullies any
society they enter.
The blue blood does not seem to curdle
ct the contact, for the grandest of Eng
lish peers welcome TO their ancestral
homes the brewers and bankers, the
tailors and tobacconists, who, as soon as
they become noble, look down as SUPER
ciliously on plebeians as any descendants
of peer or paramour. A stroke of the
wand of Cinderella's godmother turnes
vermin into decorated lackeys fit to go
to court; and the flunkeys did not forget
their rat hole more readily than these
transformed aristocrats their early OBJ
scurity. Blood will tell: and their blood
is noble-now.-Adam Badeau's Letter.

The Native Mexican. a. Labor.r..

We have been using considerable Ameri-
can labor, but will now change our policy
and employ only natives. except two en-
gineers, who must be Americans. OF
course, American labor is more competent,
but IL also costs great deal more, and
we find that when q man gets down In
that country he puts himself on the level
of the native, and works hard to do Just
the same amount Of work. He never stops
to think that he receives twice the pay Of
the native, End should do twice the amount
Of work. Consequently II is foolish to 20
TO the expense Of employing outside
labor. The natives give bettar satisfsc-
