BITTER ENGLISH CRITICISM ON
GLADSTONE.
What a Correspondent Of the Pitts
burg Dispatch Writes from Eng
land
LONDON, September 8.

LONDON, september 8.
The warmest friends and the bitterest enc
mics of the Right Honorable William Ewart
Gladstone are women. Perhaps, in the
southern counties where I've spent most of
my time, the Grand Old Man has not as
many friends as enemies. At o'clock
tea yesterday I met the most viruient foe of
tered. And she was, more the pity. young
and pretty woman, the wife of a clergyman,
and delightful talker. She had peculiarly
melodious voice, and that reminds me OF
something that has impressed M
very forcibly, and il is that English women
possess as a rule sweeter voices than their
American sisters. 1t is the talking voics
that | refer to. The voice in which she
makes love, talks of the weather, scolds ami
scaiters scandal. There is roundness and
a fullness in this voice which makes it the
English woman's chiefest charm. Thi>
beautiful endowment is not the property OF
any particular class. Highborn maidens and
iowly miikmaids, city celebrities and subur
ban barmaids alike charm your ear with
their soft tones. The sweetness of the voice
feminine is more noticeable in the south OF
England than in the north.
And after this damaging confession it may
be as well for me to remark that the Ameri-
can woman has prettier eyes, is always bet
ter conyersationalist, is essentially mort
alert mentally, has smaller feet, and to cut
the catalogue short, is more dangerous
person altogether than the English woman.
Well this fair villifier of the G. O. NJ.
really said some awfuily smart things, and
for the first half hour she amused every body,
though a good many did not agree with a
word she said. 1t is always the way
with woman who takes up politics,
or, perhaps, l had better say it i,
nearly always the way. that she doesn't know
when to stop. Her political palfrey runs
away with her. So it was in this case; tea
cup after teacup disappeared, that is, the tea
in the cup went out of sight don't think
any body pocketed teacup during the debate
nor even spoon--but the Tory orator in the
tailor made dress talked on and so continu-
ously that no one could very well interrupt
her without being rude.
