Fifty-eight years ago, 1880, was born Rob
ert Arthur Talbot Gascoine Cecil, the pres.
ent Marquis Of Salisbury. He was a younger
son, and had no prospect Of being a peer, his
title as 'Lordn Robert Cecil being merely a
courtesy title. He proved to be one of the
hardest headed fellows ia his college and uni.
yersity, first ratio all round scholar and a
hard reader and thinker lie took 10 Jour
nalism quite naturally, and at once his pen
won front place by its biting sharpness and
free, sashing style. Then he entered the
house Of commons OF course lie was n big
oted Tory in politics; he curled his lib in
grand scorn at the idea Of majority rule and
fired his biggest guns against the rising of
the democratic rank and file But he was
always respected by his foes. not only for
the brilliance and power Of his pen Int be-
cause he, with Lord Carnarvon, has always
been strictly consistent all along In politics.
When he joined Lord Derby's and Dis
raelis government Of 1867, and they gave tho
people the reform bill which they had resisted
when Lord Russell and Gladstone had vainly
tried TO pass, Lord Robert Cecil not only left
his friends in disgust, but put it on record IN
some Of tho most famous sarcastic speeches
and review articles over produced in our
time Next year, while only IS, he became
Marquis Of Salisbury, his elder brother hav-
ing died without issue. Now came his o)-
portunity and this is how he used it.

than men, of that magnanlmity and
bouhomie which are the best possible
securities against the paltry egotism
and exactingness Of the love OF praise.
Perhaps, however, they have a still
better security against that exacting-
ness in their much more frequent
humility, their more frequent habit of
loving to look up rather than to look
down. Miss Bronte obviously made
hero of the man whom she
ultimately married, though he had
no. genius, and she had much.
Jenny Lind loved the self-for-
getfulness of domestic life better
tpan she loved the storms of pas
sionate admiration which her power
to express the highest moods of hu-
man feeling had been accustomed to
excite in her earlier days. Miss Aus
ten seems hardly to have realized that
her genius was anything more than a
special source of interest and amuse-
ment to herself. In other words,
genius in women, instead of generat-
ing exactingness or multiplying the
forms of caprice, has generally rather
gone to aid the self-forgetfulness as
we i as to increase the insights which
are, for women at least, the best pro-
lection against self-will and dictatorial
impulse such as stimulated the way
ward impetuousness of Shelly, or the
in ane pride that utterly possessed
and degraded the career of Byron

when australia Was a Penal
Colony.

The only object aimed at by the
British Government in settling Aus
tralia was to get rid Of the convicts.
One can scarcely believe even that it
was expected the convicts should do
more than drag out brief and mis-
erable existence under the rigors OF a
rule designed rather to hasten than
prolong their end. The arrangement
under which Governor Phillip was dis
patched did not contain single ele-
ment of permanence. Not the least
startling part in connection with this
point is that of the total number of ,03O
persons who landed from the vessels
of the expedition only 1876 were
women. The other Give stock" con-
sisted of five horses, eleven COWS, one
bull and twelve sheep, while the ex-
pedition was go badly provisioned
that from the very moment of landing
starvation began to stare the settlers
in the face. To redress the balance
of the sexes, the British Government,
in dispatch, of which copy may be
seen to this day in the Record Office
authorized the Governor to send a
transport to one the neighboring
Friendly Islands and kidnap 200 native
women as wives for the unpro-
vided males in the Colony. This gives
good idea of the views which the
British Government of that day held
as to the future of Australia. But
badly off as the settlers were at first
their condition speedily became worse.
One characteristic misfortune and ite
sequel may be mentioned. To the
distress of the little community, it
was found that the bull and four
of the COWS had escaped from
the inclosure. Search parties were
sent out, but in vain. Several years
passed by, and then rumors reached
the settlement that a head of cattle
had been seen about forty miles in the
interior. Again parties were sent out
in search, and to the joy Of the peo.
pie they discovered the lost cattle,

20 for the retail butchers, as described
in the Butchers Journal as being
done in Akron, Ohio:
THE threat of Armour & 20. to
open retail stores in competition with
the home butchers on their refusal to
purchase his meats was carried into
execution. Three retail markets
were started. It was predicted that
they would get no trade, and the
opening of these markets was attended
with much excitement. But, contrary
to the prediction, hundreds of people
including many Knights of Labor,
who were the instigators of this move
ment, went to the markets and made
their purchases of meat, which was
retailed at four cents q pound below
local prices. It is stated that the
Akron butchers agreed to buy
Armour's meat as heretofore il these
retail markets would be withdrawn.
IF the above is correctly reported
it affords matter for serious reflection
to the butchers of the country. When
monopoly can overawe such number
of men (there are sixty meat markets
in Akron) into meek submission, and
when capital is now used to coerce a
trade and adopt such means to do it
as by underselling at loss. the pub
lie are doing an injustice to them
selves in patronizing them and allow.

town without giving them the least
