MR.. PARNELL's INVITATION TO HAwARDEy.

Of informing Mr.. Parnel that he and his family were

to the invitation of the aged statesman who tn.
umphanty consigned him to prison only few years
ago, with even Olerable approach to the enthusiasm
which Mr. Gladstone is accustomed to expect on such
occasions, but he did not absolutely refuse to VISIT
Hawarden in the course of the autumn. few weeks
ago. Mr. Gladstone according to the Manchester story.
wrote to remind Mr.. Parnell of his engagement, and
expressed the hope that Hswaren would have
the high honor of receiving him a guest certain
specified day when there would be party of con-
genial politicians TO meet him. From that day, how
until Wednesday last, Mr.. Gladstone the story
goes, never received any answer whatever from Mr..
Parne who. mloss political friends at Manchester have
been romancing has certainly treated his venerable
colleague with scant courtesy.
MIR. GLADSTONE SHOCKS THE COURT.
Mr. Gladstone's glowing panegyric the Bra
lillian Revolution caused shock of surprise at Wind
sor. The change of Government in Brazil must be
accepted fact, but was not one over which the
English ought 10 have gone into ecstasies. The
praise which he lavished the conduct Of the Bro
lillian Revolution was suggestive whether 1t was in

man who, according la all political ap
pearances, carrying out policy disasteful to the
mass of his countrymen, seemed impossible; but no
enthusiasm was ever more hearty and spontaneous
than that which welcomed him when he stepped on
the platform and chcered him TO the echo after bis
