Half o million more visits have been paid to ths
| Glasgow Exhibition already than to the highly sue
cessful Manchester Exhibition Of last year during tho
same period. the first three months. Nevertheless

are 10000 pounds short of tho Manchester
standard. The reason Is that tho canny Scot pro-
vided himself freely with season tickets ard used
them carly and often. Naturally the hafcrOwn days
have been complete failure and have been abolished.
EMPEROR FREDERIcK's DIARY
The accuracy Of my statements about the volumn-
Gus diaries of the Emperor Frederick IS confirmed.
All the volumes devoted to political and military
ment have been given up by the Dowager Empress
to tho Government. She retains all those which
late to private affairs, well the whole Of her
husbands correspondence and designs at a future
time to publish whatever she pleases, there being
implied understanding that nothing shall appear TO
which the Emperor or his Ministers could reasonably
take exception Prince Bismarck has acted the honest
broker In bringing about this arrangement and has
been untrng in his efforts TO arrange mOdus vvendi
with the Empress
THE PARNELL-" TINES AFFAIR
The mystery how the Parncll letters camo into the
possession Of I" The Tines will probably DO
solved. The danger to tho persons implicated, should
their names be divulged, woud be supreme one may
dismiss untrue the stories the subject
though one Of them is again revived, namely, that
they were stolen from Sir william Harcourt while no
was Homo Secretary and that e100 paid for
them They probably came from different sources,
for popularity Of nearly all Irish conspiracies has
been the ease with which information be procured
after matters have got to certain point. There
distinct statements now to the effect that the Irish
party In possession Of Information which leaves
no doubt that the Parnell letters forgeres. and
when the time comes there viii be difficulty IN
proving it. 1t IS hardly possible that The Tines
can be taken in, though It may prove So They
their SIDE, are equally confident that tley prove
their case Everything must turn on the question
whether they can give the Of their inormants-
IN THE COMMONS
The session, which has been productive OF only
one large measure and singularly barren Of interest
has not brought forward among the rank and file Of
the House of Commons any man Of more than average
ability. None Of the young men have distinguished
themselves, though they have had opportunities This
year the muzzled Ciceros the Chancellor OF tho
Exchcqucr called them at the Guild Han banquet lass
August. have been unmuzzled, but have not dis
tinguished themselves. Only two men have increased
their reputations both Cabinet Ministers.
THE MINISTERIAL DINNER
The suspension of the usual rule the duration
Of the Wednesday sitting at Westminster somewhat
interfered with the of the Ministerial banquet
at the Mansion House. Although Lord Salisbury
arrived so early as almost to escape observation Mr.
Goschen and Mr.. Bafour did not come til long after
dinner begun. The gathering nevertheless. was
very successful The Mistress of the Robes, black
velvet, quite enough diamonds console the city
for the absence Of Baroness Henry de Worms; Lady
Ermyntrude Maets strings OF pearls were almost as
magnificent as Lady Knutsford's blue gold brocade:
the Lord Chancellor gazed In rapt admiration at a
DuSL OF tne premier eNLnrOne1 on the hEn altar
among palms and HES; Lord CRANKY, in excellon,
spirits, was accompanied by his wife, In black and
diamonds; Mr. George CurzOn, in scarlet commun-
Gated the latest political news TO- Lady Brooke, and
during the long walt before dinner Mr. Buckle held
whispered conference with Lord Cranboume
Mr.. MANSFIELD WELCOMED.
Mr. Richard Mansfield VIII be agreeable acqulsi-
lion 10 that increasing section Of the English who add
generous culture to the pursuit of professional art
He Is an excellent German scholar while his musical
talents are quite above tho average. Sin yng with
pleasant tenor to his own accompanmcnts on the
piano. he is able to give the traditional rendering Of
many ballads as LANDED down to him b. his accom-
plshed mother, Madam RudersdorI.
HOW CANON LIDDoN SHOCKED THE QUEEN
1t Is curious that tho greatest OF living English
preachers has not been raised to the Episcopal bench
Though High Churchman. he IS not so strongly pro-
nounced a ritualls as to dsqualfy him. but, indeed.
possesses nearly all the qualities OF intellect and
Ing to single him cut Tor such position. He Is
beloved and rcvered by his many friends in all kinds
Of life. The bishopric OF Salisbury said TO have
been offered him by Lord Salisbury and refused but
have good reason to know II The difficulty
In proposing the appointment OF Canon Llddon to tho
bishoprc has always arisen with the Queen with
whom he Is not popular. Tho assigned for bis
not being liked by Her Majesty is that occasion
when he preached before her she was very much dis
pleased at bis style. Canon Liddol framed his style
on that of the great French preacher and Masson
when preaching before Louis XIV addressed the Kin:
rs "sir,' so Canon Liddon IN his sermon addressed
the Queen Madam" The Queen. either from
ignorance or forgetfulness of the authority which
he based his sermon, very much shocked and
annoyed, and expressed herself In no measured terms
Canon Liddon since has been commanded 10
preach before her.
