London, Nov 81 think 1t is fair betting that
there is not man in the Queens domnions.
vic, during the last twenty years, has
spent so many nights sn railway travel
as has Her Majesty's eldest During his Indian
tour all the Princes railway journeys made
by night. Look at his recent record. On one night
he travels by rail from Roumana to Vienna The
following night he spends in the train on his way
TO the shooting ground He shoots all day, comes
back the night to Vienna without break,
quits Vienna by night on journey for Paris, and
travels by night from Paris 10 London. The night
between Friday and Saturday OF that week he spent
travelling from London TO Balmoral; the night be
tween Monday and Tuesday of last week he spent
on the return Journey 10 town. And Ills Royal
Hghhess is never filter than after night OF rail-
way travel. He seems rise from his railway
couch adequately refreshed certainly I'm excellent
form for either pleasure business. There are few
who will not envy the Royal traveller his ronclad
nerves.

THE DISMISSAL OF LORD SACKvILLE
The United States Government having thought
proper to send Lord sackville safe conduct to
use Secretary Bayards expression the representation
Of Great Britain at Washington passes abruptly
from q diplomatist Of forty years experience to
Junior Secretary, with the commission Of Charge
dAfaires. Mr. Herbert who now holds that position,
is brother OF Lord Pembroke and Of Lady De Grey.
He only in his thirty first year The First secre-
tary of the British Legation in Washington, Mr. Ed
wardes Lord Kensingon's brother, is in England and
was not expected to return to America. But posi-
bly,, under the altered condition of affairs, he now
win take over the duties of Charge d'Afares from
Mr. Herbert as the appointment Of successor TO
Lord Sackville is likely TO be indefinitely postponed.
/ understood that some time since arrangements had
been made that, should Mr.. Cleveland be reelected.
Mr. Phelps go home and be succeeded by
Mr. Endcott, the Secretary Of War I'm Mr.. Cleve-
lands Cabinet and father of the young lady whose
engagement to Mr.. Chamberlain was affirmed, denied
and roaflrmed. Whether Mr.. Cleveland carries his
second term or not, Mr. Phelps will most probably
vacste the appointment but while England is repre-
sented at Washington by Charge d'Afsres the
interests Of the United States here will probably be
entrusted TO Mr.. Henry White, acting in a similar
capacity.
THE REQUEST TO THE MAIDS OF dVNOh.
Miss Phipps, Miss Cavendish, Miss Drummond and
Miss Moore have intention whatever OF renouHcine
the fortune left them by the late Lord sackvine.
The uncertainty which prevails to the precise terms
of the bequest number OF other ladies' not
equally lucky, receive premature congratulations
from their friends. 1t is Lady Derby, Lord Sack
ville's sister, who has entered caveat against the
will Her solicitors sangnine Of success
LORD TENNYsoN RECOVERING.
f,~a T.n,x,op urbo te eth in SURVEY has been
SICK for some months and seriously III at
the beginning OF last week that grave apprehensions
were felt by his family for The moment The most
urgent symptoms have passed away, but be is still
very PROSTATE and weak The attack he suffered
from, after developing symptoms OF rheumatic govt,
suddenly assumed those Of rheumatic fever. His
weakness and age still his family great uneasi
ness.
PROBABLE RETIREMENT OF THE SPEAKER
Notwithstanding the favorable bulletins Of the
Speaker which have appeared since his return from
Switzerland have reason TO believe that his health
is stin in a very unsatisfactory state. 1t is in
the highest degree improbable that he will be able
to occupy the chair next year Sir Matthew White
Ridley will most likely succeed Mr.. Peel and be the
first Conservative Speaker since 1885.
AN ANECDoTE ABOUT MR.. GLADSTONE.
A curously characteristic story of Mr.. Gladstone
Is told as having occurred during the summer. Mr.
Gladstone had occasion 10 come into contact with
Mr.. Frederic harrison. VINO JUST PuDHoHcu MS
study Of Oliver Cromwell good deal of converse
ton took place on the book, and Mr.. Gladstone
asked Mr. Harrison IL he really considered Cromwell
very great Mr.. Harrison answered warmly
In the affirmative, giving his reasons, and In return
asfed Mr. Gladstone what was his estimate OF the
Lord Protector what position be would assign him
in the political hierarchy. Mr. Gladstone is said to
have replied: Well, somewhere after Lord Althorp'
LORD RANDOLPH cHURcHuLs HEALTH
IN ASH ma Uh inVenfg the
reports circulated with so much gusto
AZ intervals that Lord Randolph Churchill
is In very bad state OF health
and means 10 retire from public life Some one must
be very anxious to get Lord Randolph out Of the way
The story last appeared in what Is supposed to be
friendly quarter at Blrmingh CHAM. All this solicude
Is entirely thrown away. Lord Randolph was never
IN better health in his life than at this moment
Conservatives, who remember what he did for their
party in and out of Parliament between 1850 and
1885, are by no means in hurry to see him retire.
Their views run in q different direction altogether
Next week Lord Randolph VIII address his constituents
at Paddlngton.
BOOK PUBLISHER on TRIAL.
Nobody can have been surprised at the result OF
the prosecution at the Old Bailey OF Vizetelly the pub
Usher of certain notorious translaons Of some OF the
worst and most offensive OF NJ. Zolas novels. On
neither the legal principles nor the questions Oh iact
involved In the was there any room for doubt
or hesitation. Nothing can be clearer than that Inc
roblcation OF what IS technically termed an obscene
lIbel-that IS Of indecent or immoral book or
writng-is a misdemeanor. or that such WORKS as
ia Terrc, or Pot Bouile,' or Mana are IN the
highest degree immoral, indecent and obscene II
must however, be confessed that the literary censor
ship has been Of late years so uncertain ana capcous
that yizetelly may very possibly have imagined as
vas stand AZ the trial that be not breaking the
law when he knew that unredeemed, unmiagated
filth Ike that contained in Maiden Tribute OF Modern
Babylon could be hawked about the streets with I'm
purity he may well have supposed that zoias pro-
dactions would be tolerated.
