fair placed at such an early date that
they think 1t would be impossible for Chi

preparation. While this is Of the aun-
tessence Of meanness. and is an ebulition
of the spirit Of 'rule or ruin" they. with

 LONDON, Jan. 1.--The air of mystery surrounding the illness of Lord Sails bury, about whose condition all sorts of reports have been circula tod, has led suspicious persons to ascertain the facts, which are just now brought to light.
 Lord Salisbury was taken i'll with in huenza on December 24. He caused thA strictest secrecy to be observed wiEh regard to his condition and the cause, and the Queen sent to him her own physician, Sir William Jenner. On December -6 the prcmier became worse and for three days was unable to leave his bed.
 He IS now able to sit up, but will be confined to his room for several days, and probably compelled to remain in the house for fortnight. The attack of grippe was very severe, and there is still fear of the suporvention of pneu monia, which his lordship is constitu tionally untitted to combat.
