STATESMEN DINING.
Tho Speakers dinner on Wednesday possibly
a triAe too long Baron Henry de Worms was able
to discuss tho sugar bOunties and abstract theology
with his ncghbor, the Chaplain Sir Henry Holland
made his last appearance as commoncr. Mr. Goschcn
found himself by mysterious rule of precedence
among undclsecrctaries. Lord George Hamilton com
forted the Vice hamberlan. who looked forward with
dismay to the terror OF the coming Drawing foom
with the thermometer below zero As dinner
the reception began. Mrs Pccl welcomed
her rIess in light blue broche silk Isabella Lady
Wilton, In black sevet discussed usual the politi-
cal outlook with minor members of the Corps Dirlo-
matiQne. Sir Oscar Clayton talked trachcOtomy
loarnedly to numerous friends. Baroness de Worms,
IN Old silver palegreen and rose brocade, with train
Of emerald green velvet, received almost as many
congratulations as Lady Holland. Lady de la Ware
and Madame do FlOran both looked very well in
black Ever ybody migrated at a very early hour to
the newly installed electric light quite chaLged the
appearance of Lady sssbury's salons, which were
never more crowded than on Wednesday sht. LORD
Salisbury, standing tho door, looked mono tho
for his encounter with Mr.. Bradlaugh MI
Henry Manners had answer many respectful in
quiries about the health of his grandfather Before
midnight the peers, peeresses and politicians had all
departed.
MRS. MhCRAY-S DINNER PARTY.
Mrs Maokay's dinner party certainly ranks amongst
the notable functions OF last week The table was
decorated with wickerwork wheel barrows filed with
orchids and garands Of dark and silver tinted
leaves. Amongst the guests werc Rustem Pacha
who has unfortunately been unable TO carry ont the
Sultan's imperative orders to suppress The Nine
toenth Century" the Persian Minister and Princess
Malcolm, Lord and Lady Herschell, Lord kenmarc,
Lord and Lady Hohied, Lord and Lady Don0ngh
more Count and Countess do FIorian. Sir Oscar Clay
ton Lord William Neville and Mr.. and Mrs. William
Lowthcr
lord r. CHURCHILL AND HIS AUDIENCES
Lord Randolph Churchill returned to town from
oxford In the highest spirits, delighted with his re-
ception and with his audience at the Union. lie de-
olares 1t was tho most critical he addressed
As Lord Randolph does not often address an ndher-
ent audience the OAorans may we'll feel hatcred by /
this opinion In fact, Lord Randolph and his auditors
appear to have been equally pleased with each other
MR. TIMOTHY HEALY's SUCCESSES.
The dependence of so many of the Parncllite NOM
bers Of Parliament the salary fund IS not the only
element of weakness in the movement. The indie
pendcnce Of others is serious danger. Mr. Timothy
Iealy In particular is becoming the cause of uneasl-
to the Irish leader. He owes his present posi-
ton entirely to Mr.. Parneli who introduced him to
public life by appointing him his priv ate secrc
tary and acrward giving him a seat in Parliament.
But amlabilty and consideration for others are not
the striking traits Ia his character Success has
made him unpessanily independent. He Is doing
fairly VOL at the Bar, and Parnctc NJ p occupies
a proud position who his own living and no
longer needs TO draw upon thc salary fund But his
success in Parliament Is still more marked He has
around him knot of relatives and parsans ready 10
back him up In small matters and great; and in adj
ditlon to all this, he poses purst and condemns
certain of his leaders, extra Parliamentary proceed
ings Mr. Parnel never reads lessons in church, or
makes attempt to hedge in any way. Therefore |
be Is easy mark for Mr.. Heays vlrtuous indigna-
tion.
TAKING LORD HARTINCToNS SEAT.
1t noticed that Mr. Shaw Lefcvrc took advau-
tage Of Lord Hartngtons temporary absence from the
House last week to plant himself In the scat usually
occupied by the LiberaU nionst leader. Moreover,
tho prucips4 dssentens who generally sit the front
Opposition bench were being crowded out of their
places by evidently precOncerted arrangement.
1t will be curious to see how Mr. Chamberlain will
take the threatened exclusion from the front Of the
liberal ranks when he returns from the States.

THE CROWN PRINCE AND HIS PIPE.
A paragraph has gone the round of the papers TO-
porting the distress of the Crown Prince because no
has been deprived Of his pipe. This Is nonsensical |
invention, as the Crown Prince, who by means
an invoterate smoker, never had pipe in his mouth |
