of the by-elections was of such char
acter as to make him most sanguine OF
the speedy return of his party to power
his hope of such consummation was
not based solely on that fact, but as
well upon the assured conviction thai
the tide of public opinion was surely
turning in their favor.
Mr.. Gladstone lives very regular
life at his home. He breakfasts lightly
about 7 o'clock, and shortly before
walks to the church for prayers. Tt
the intelligent observer the sight of the
great statesman walking to church al
this early hour in the morning cannot
fail to be interesting. Clad in long
coat, tightly buttoned, with a long
shawl wrapped closely around his neck
and wearing a soft felt hat, his appear
ance is decidedly picturesque. Upon
his return to the castle from morning
prayers he retires to his study, where
he reads and answers, with the aid OF
his secretary, his enormous mass OF
daily correspondence.
There is no regular hour for luncheon
at the castle, and it is partaken of by
those at home at various times. In the
afternoon NJ. Gladstone takes walk
in the grounds, and if the weather is
propitious usually engages in his favor
ite exercise Of tree-chopping. He dimes
at s o'clock, afterward reads or writes,
and at 10 retires for the night. Though
abstemious in his habits, he usually
drinks bitter beer with his lunch, and
glass or two of claret or port at din
ner. Mr.. Gladstone is not in any sense
ascetic, is a generous liver, and is a
great believer in the virtues of glass
of good port wine. When engaged in
speaking his flip is compound Of
sherry and egg, which is prepared by
Mrs. Gladstone with as much anxiety
and care as if it were the elixir of life.
Mr.. Gladstone never smoked. He ac.
quired his habits at period when
tobacco smoking was generally re-
garded as somewhat vulgar among the
better classes.
Mr.. Gladstone usually has three
books in reading at the same time, and
changes from one to another as his
mind reaches the limit of absorption,
or when he fancies that the volume in
hand has interested him just enough
not to be the sole object of thought
This mode of reading is intended to be
corrective of natural disposition o.
his mind to devote attention to some
particular subject to the exclusion o
everything else.
In Mr.. Gladstone's study, besides
his books, which are seen everywhere
there are three writing desks in th'

passed under many names other than
those enumerated at the opening of this
article, and which might have been fairly
applied before the unifcation of the
breed had passed its present state.
The Irish wolfhound is generally be-
lieved to be one of Ireland's long-lost
glories, but while it is undoubtedly true
that the breed in its original integrity is
not now to be found, it is reasonably GER
tain that there are in existence strains
tracing back more or less clearly to the
original breed. In the opinion of the
Irish Wolfhound Club it is tolerably GER
tain, too, that the modern Scotch deer
hound is descended from that noble ami
NAL, but undoubtedly much the inferior
of the wolfhound in size and power. No
animal has figured more in the song,
story, and art of any country than has
the wolfdog in the works of the gifted
sons of Erin. Strength, stature, and
fieetness were points most carefully cul-
tivated in the breed, and so far back as
the days of the Romans this dog was
we'll known and highly priced, and his
strength and activity were displayed in
many Roman amphitheater.
Like his ancestral breed of wolf dogs,
the Scotch deerhound has figured much
in the poetry and story of his native land,
but the strain has always been carefully
attended to, and is TO- day in fiourishing
condition. About 20 or 80 inches is the
correct height, with weight from 80 to l05
pounds. The deerhound has long, lean
head. small, semi-erect ears, which are
preferably smooth, though good dogs are
found with hairy ears. The color runs
from white to black, brindle, blue, gray,
fawn, sandy, and cream, and the coat is
coarse and hard, and longer over the
eyes and under the jaws than on the other
parts of the head. The deerhound is
very fast and courageous. and his power

THE LOST CHILD.

lost Lost in the bewildering throng,
Baked by the human current surging strong
Amid the savage roar its voice is drowned
No ear has caught the feeble, plaintive sound
.Mamma mamma II it calls, then glances shy,
Betraying dread of every passer-by.
Its ewes are tear-blind, and its feet
Are, o, SO weary, wandering the street;
Mamma mammal" il calls and calls again,
Adding each time u keener note of pain
1t runs then pauses, overwhelmed with fears,
For only strangers cross its mist of tears.
The traces OF mothers care
Still hnger in the curled and sunny hair;
The playing children tempt it not to stop,
Though in its hand is clutched n striped top
And as it hurries through the alien town,
One little stocking slips unheeded down.
At last the faint appeal is heard,
And sleeping hearts of sympathy are stirred;
Some bend to ask its name its mothers
name
On all the world IL seems to have no claim,
1t stares at every one in blank amaze,
While DER its face tangled ringlet strays
Arrested on its errant course,
The very tears are scared back to their source;
One chubby hand is lifted to its brow,
Its head droops like Il broken flower now;
To ask suggest or coax, alike are vain,
No hint of home or mother can they gain.
But suddenly from out the crowd
A presence dawns like sunshine from n cloud,
sob of gladness heaves the little breastl
Bystanders need no more they know the rest,
"Mammal mamma |" it shouts with ringing joy
And to her heart the mother clasps her boy.

A Georgia Federal Regiment,

Although not generally known, it is
nevertheless true, that Georgia fur
nished one regiment of infantry to the
Federal service during the civil war.
1t was not full regiment, and some
how the officers and men were never
paid for their services, although they
did hard fighting, and number of
them were killed and wounded. This
Georgia command was made up among
the hard Unionists of Whitfield, Muir
ray, Fannin, Dawson, and Pickens, the
last two counties furnishing the ma
jority of recruits. The raising of the
corps was authorized by Gen. Thomas
while commanding the Army of the
Cumberland. After doing valuable
service it was surprised and broken up
by Confederate force.

IN tie fat glands which nourish the
- roots, and render it glossy, soft and
thick. These alkalies dissolve the fat,
and soon the lady is distressed to find
that her hair is breaking off or falling
out. Alcohol, whether in form of the
various hair tonics, or bay rum, is
equally injurious, and to its use in bar
Der shops are the most of the bald
heads due.
When one feels that the head needs
good shampoo" the yelks of eggs
alone should be employed, with plenty
of water. The yelk of an egg is almost
all oil, and for that reason an emollient,
but no alkali nor soap should be used
if it is desired to preserve the hair at
its best.
Dandruff is a great injury to the
hair, and it has never yet been under
stood, though some have pretended to
have discovered its cause and cure.
But this we have noticed and proved,
! those who wash their heads in cold
water daily never have it. Brushes
and combs should be kept very clean,
and no one should use those of another.
When there is dandruff, cleanliness,
washing in cold water, and sometimes
little brandy will remove it.
The use of fine combs, unless when
absolutely necessary, is greatly to be
condemned, and it is far better to dis
card them entirely. Many ladies find
it inconvenient to wash their heads
daily, on account of their bangs, and
such depend upon the fine comb for
cleansing the scalp, with an occasional
shampoo. There are more eXudations
from the scalp than from the clear
skin, and the pores need clearer field,
so to speak, than they have with the
accumulations which catch to the hairs

little scales, which being of refuse

Il of irritation and itching of the scalp
\ and finger nails poison it, and befor
: one knows it the head is one mass o
scaly dandruff, and before long tn
head is sore in spots and the hair be
gins falling.
Ladies whose neatness in other re
spects is proverbial, will not wash thei
hair daily-because - because - well
uney can give no reason, only tnat the
were taught that It was not at all nee
essary. And when the scalp is no

secretions which cause it, the hair oftel
loses its coloring matter. The heat il
the cells destroys it, and young per

with some reason, that the regula
