Lord Beaconsfield.

Lord Beaconstield may be fairly called
a great man on his own definition Of q
great man-as zone who affects the
minds of his generation, whether he be
a monk in his cloister agitating Christ
endom or monarch crossing the Gran
icus and giving new character to the
pagan world" Lord Beaconstield 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
ander 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
retard, the progress of the Macedonian
king; nor were the victories of the one
less splendid than the triumphs of the
other. The young Disraeli began life as
Jew, when to be 4 Jew meant to be
deprived of every social and civil ad-
vantage that makes public career
worth striving for. The position of q
conquered Samnite 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 pleasure Of prince or noble; he
was no longer condemned to dwell in a
ghetto or vi garments of 4 peculiar
cut or ru.ur; but all, or almost all,
cll:i:Iccs of political promotion were
closed against him in his adopted coun-
try. He might amass a 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 Disraeli. He had been
brought up Christian. AS Christian
he could enter the parliament, which it
was then impossible for a 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-
fessed 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 q 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 the
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 in itself the
most eloquent tribute to the genius of
his peoplc.-'.EngZand Under Glad
stone,n Justin II. Nc CarMy, Member of
Parliament.

Shc Was No Friend OF Labor.

4 very fat, red-faccd woman, with
two big sachels and 4 handbag, got of
q train at the Lake Shore depot yester
day morning. She had hardly reached
the main entrance, accomplished after q
terrific struggle with two sachcls and
the handbag. when she was accosted by
vigorous urchin.
Say, ma'am, don't yer want yer
valises packed?'
They are packed, sonny" replied
the fat lady, stopping to rest and wipe
the perspiration from her face.
"Oh, YOU don't catch on. mean
don't yer want me ter carry the grips?"
"Wcll, You are 4 real good boy. You
can carry the sachels and show me
where the north side cars rum
"Terwenty-tive cents is what it'll cost
yer" replied the youngster, in busi-
ness-like way.
Mercy! What are you going to do
with all that money? I'm not rich, lit
tie boy"
Its nearly mile to der north side

plump lady, in L coaXing tone. That's
all the change I've got.
Il s'pose I gotter take that, but 'taint
ernuff for two such big fcllers as them

After little more parlcying the boy
shouldered the baggage and was soon
sailing alongside the heshy lady down
the street. At the corner OF Jackson
and Clark streets he came to :; sudden
halt, deposited his burdens on the side
walk. and put his hands in his pockets.
Are you tired. sonny?' inquired the
lady anxiously.
Nav"
What is the matter? I think you
are bad boy
"Welr III tell yer, ma'am. I'm a
goin' t strike on yer fer 20 cents more.
An I can't move till l gets it, either"
The fat lady was evidently very much
disconcerted. She tried to speak several
times. but her tongue failed her. The
horrible youngster took seat on one Of
the sachels.
''You only want 10 cents more" she
tnally sad, tumbIlng IN her pocket
book and producing dime. "You on

He looked as though he could. An
other bright new dime came out of the
pocket-book, and as the two pieces of
silver jingled in the urchin's hand he
arose and grappled with the big dusty
sachels again.

Increase Of EnSnnity.

The statistics OF insanity show that,
in general, the proportion OF insane is
greater in the older States. where the
foreign population is most numerous,
and it is less where the communities are
new. as, for instance, in the pioneer
counties of Wisconsin. The South,
which has drawn comparatively little
from immigration, suffers from insanity
to much less extent than New England
and New York; and it is an established
fact that the negro race is much less
liable to insanity than the white The
average of insanity in New England is
l to every $50 of the population: in New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, l
to every 424; while in the extreme
Southern States the average is only to
935.
The West, like the South, is more free
from insanity than the Northern sea-
board States, the average being l to
every GlO in the interior States, and !
to 75O for the Northwestern States. In
the far Western States and Territories it
is only l out of 1858, they being settled
by picked population, whose energy
and soundness make them pioneers. 1t
is noteworthy, however, that insanity
is about as frequent in the Pacific States
as in New Eng gland, the explanation be-
ing that vice and indulgence prevail to
an exceptional extent among the popu-
lation drawn to the Pacific Dy the mania
for gold. The average in Massachu-
setts, for instance. is l to S4S, in Cali
fornia l to 345. 1t is also remarkable
that the ratio of insanity decreases as
we 60 west and south of New England,
as these averages will show: New En-
gland, to $50; Middle States, to 424; !;
Interior States, to 610; Northwestern
States, to 750; Southern States, l to
629.
The State where the proportion is
highest is Vermont, to 327; and New
Hampshire comes next, with l to 329.
We are at loss to understand why in
sanity is so frequent in the District of
Columbia, the average given being to
1S9; but perhaps the large average in
Vermont and New Hampshire may in
part be due to the circumstances that
those States receive the refuse of Ca
madam poor-houses, they having a
much better organized system of charit-
able relief than the Dominion can boast
of; and it is undeniable that some of
the very worst Of our immigration comes
from over the Canadian border: That
immigration, too, is now great, and
there are factory towns in New England
where the population is largely made
up of French Canadians.-New York

Two Gentlemen.

saw two gentlemen on a streetccar
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 II
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 l knew he
was a gentleman? l will tell you.
The boy went through the car to give
some message to the driver. AS he re-
turned, he gave little jump through
the door, and as he did so his bare foot
touched the crowns gentlcman's knee,
and left little mud on it. Turning
around on the platform, he raised his
straw hat. and said very politely, in a
clear tone, please excuse me" Then
the other gentleman bowed in his turn,
lust as he would have done to one of his
own age and said with pleasans
smile, "Ccrtainly."

The Duchess of Edinburgh is said to
be more than ordinarily clever and cui-
tivated," writes Adam Badeau in the
last of his papers on aristocracy in En-
gland. '.From those admitted to her
Intimate society l have heard that she is
better informed in politics than many
women in Europe in any sphere. She
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 our own

Pigeons and Their Prices.


is increased interest in the raising of
pigeons, particularly among the ladies,
who care for them at odd moments at
home and obtain from tnc sale of the
birds considerable pin-money. A resi-
dent Of New Jersey, who is one of the
best-known pigcon-fancicrs of this coun-
try, and whose lofts of nearly five hun
drcd birds includes some of the hand
soonest and most valuable in the world,
says:
Every one of my birds knows me,
and whenever enter the loft they flock
around. Most people have the idea that
pigeons must be bred in the dark. This
is not the case, for it makes them wild.
All mine are bred in the light, in glass
boxes painted white, about six by eight
inches in size, and with hay inside for
the nest. A curious fact I have noticed
about pigeons is their loyalty to each!-
Let pair be once mated and they will
never forsake one another while alive.
How long do they live: Twelve years,
and keep up their full vigor for that
period. We feed them on Canada peas,
wheat, cracked corn, and occasionally
little henpseed. The weight Of l
pigeon varies from three or four ounces
to several pounds The biggest figure I
have heard that was paid for pair Of
pigeons in this country was $500. 1t
was given for 4 pair OF carrier pigeons. :"
VIII you tell me something about
the different kinds of pigeons?" DR.. Nc
Cook, a lover of the bird. was asked.
Anyone having owned pigeons Of
any kind will know what is meant by
common pigeons They are not of any
distinct breed or color. There are but
very few common pigeons now in
which some traces of the higher classes
can not be detected. At the same time
l believe that were {: flock of the So
called common pigeons kept entirely to
themselves for number of years color
markings and other characteristics OF
the higher classes would entirely disap-
pear and the birds would be more like
" to resemble in color and shape those
they originally came from-thc Blue
Rocks. Next to q common pigeon, per-
haps the best known, at least by name,
is the homing Antwerp, which is the

A large publishing house states that
it generally employs as readers men and
women of culture who themselves have
done literary work: sometimes lawyer
who finds time from his professional
duties to give attention to literary, pur;,
suits. or doctor similarly situated, and
sometimes a woman of refined educa-
ton qualified to do the work. When
any manuscript on scientific, medical
or special subject is handed in, some re-
cognizcd professional man in that par
ticular is engaged Nearly all writers
bear a part Of the expenses OF the first
edition; ali new writers do. 1t is fact
not generally known that Longfellow
paid within Il small amount of the total
cost of production OF his first volume OF
poems and James Russell Lowell paid
ali the expense OF bis first work.

Our Legislature has now been in
session nearly two months and as yet
practically 1t has done very little. Per-
haps at last it has reached the point
where The members can take some ac-
ton of a different character. The
committees are beginning to report,
and all subjects referred to them,
ought now to be disposed of intclii-
gcutly. The Report in the Senate on
the Pcnitcutiary lease has been the
most importan, action OF that body,
and places the lessces in a rather I'M
favorable attitude. There i. scarcely
d doubt of there having been iobbery
connected with their proceedings,
though Senator Hamilton, one of the
l~cssccs, made a feeble effort 10 break
the force of the investigation of the
Committee. We hope the whole trans
action will be thoroughly sifted, to let
the people know the length and
breadth Of the shortcomings, and the
questionable methods of what, We
fear, might be called the p~cnItentlary
stead. Our State is in no condition TO
tolerate even transactions which Ell
rich the few at the expense of the
many, and let 'he blame fall where it
may, the matter should be thoroughly
investigated.
From the report the Committee has
made, Senator billiard has certainly
been indicated in starting the inYes-
iigation, and evidently knew what he
was undressing" about. lie Was
mainly instrumental in having the act
passed compelling the lcssers to pay
the money into the Treasury, and
when he saw il had not been done
that the law had been disrcgardcd-
he felt it was his duty to his constItu-
EMS and the people OF The whole STATE
to demand a thol ough investigation OF
the whole matter. We hear the hope
expressed sometimes that the outcome
may not injure the p9rty. We canno,
conceive how it viii do so IN amy
cyont. The Democratic party is not n
party OF aw-bfcakers, and ii official
delinquency is found among its lead
ers, the party must purify itself or adj
nit its inability to maintain honest
government. If OH the other hand,
those who are now under II cloud, are
vindicatcd, party ties will be strength
cncd, and public confidence, which it
must be admitted is uneasy, will lie
restored.
