places of its size in the degree of interest
IL shows in the contest. Last Thursday

from Wexford for the same gentleman
and yesterday, Just after the polls closed,
another two hundred and fifty came III,

ODD FELLOW.
Four hundred and fifty ballots in four
business days from Wexford alone That
is doing pretty well, isn't it, for town
which has firemen's fair on hand at the
same time
The question of transference has arisen.
I0hn- North -e+-Aeehsocket, who would
like to go upon the trip but is unable for
business reasons TO do so, wishes TO trans
fer his ballots, few in number. to Mon
tague Gabriel. and Mr.. Spaulding of
Clyde wishes similarly Go assist Frank
Duffy of PheniX, the new PawtuXet val
ley candidate. IL is customary in such
contests TO allow these transfers. and these
ballots will be SO transferred without fur
ther notice. In view of the keen interest
taken i'm the contest, however, it may be
found advisable to prohibit transfers for,
say, the last few weeks OF the voting. But
the NEWS doesn't believe in crossing
bridges before il comes 10 them, and at
present we regard the contest ~ only in
It's preliminary stages.

Nothing can furnish stronger contrast
with the later career of this renowned
liberal leader than his opening parliament
tary years. He showed himself tory OF
the tories. Macaulay, reviewing his
pamphlet on " Church and State, " marked
him at that early date as the rising hope
of the "True Blue party, and his maiden
speech in the House of Commons was ac-
tually delivered against the proposed inn
mediate emancipation OF the slaves and
in strong insistence upon compensation
to the shareholders OF the West Indies.
All this, though strange now 10 recall,
was natural enough, Seeing 4e was the son
of father who owned slaves and sugar
estates in Demerare, and il goes far TO ac-
count for the unfortunate attitude which
he assumed when your terrible and costly
war broke out between the North and
South.
In all the relations OF domestic and
social life, Mr.. Gladstone is simply de-
lightful, faultless, removed into serene
and sweet regions beyond any eulogy OF
mine. l have just received in this city
OF Omaha letter from an old friend and
colleague, related by marriage to Mr..
Gladstone, who has been staying at
Hawarden Castle, just before the Grand
Old Man set forth for BiarritZ. He tells
me that except for a slight dulness of
hearing and some little fatigue of the
eyesight, which obliges the avoidance of
too much study, his illustrious host was
as well as ever.
When you grasp Mr.. Gladstone's right
hand, always stretched out with unaf-
fecled warmth of greeting, you perceive
in the contact that he has lost fore
finger. The fact is that when a youth
shooting with his uncle he blew it away
from the muzzle of the old fashioned gun
of that period. Mr.. Gladstone's second
daughter, Mary Drew, who must be nearly
or quite forty years old, had her first liv-
ing baby about twenty months ago. 1t
came like the child of a miracle, unexpect-
edly. You will readily imagine, there
fore, what the event of such baby meant
in such an affectionate household.
The little girl is the undisputed chate-
laine, in fact, of Hawarden Castle. She
can Just toddle about from room to room,
and she brings a ray of sunlight with her
wherever she goes. j never saw prettier
sight than when she just now ran through
the open door, which divides the drawing
room from the Grand Old Mans sane
tuary, and, pulling at the lapels Of his
dressing gown, drew him imperiously
away from Homer or the Blue Books, or
whatever was engaging him. The first in
timation we heard in the next room was
peal of laughter on Mr.. Gladstone's part
at the obvious necessity of capitu-
lating to that daring invasion, as

Great deal of sightseeing besides investi-
eating huts and houels and tenemeuts.
Thus, il man has family, its support
will be amply provided for while he is

expenses will OF course be less with the
husband away. II he is single he can save
every cent of his wages for the entire dur
alton of the trip.

MR.. GLADSTONE IN HIS LIBRARY.

musical and hearty as ever came
from human lips, for his laugh
as you well know, is enc of his greatest
attractions. Presently the Grand Old
Man and the little child, separated by
eighty years OF time, come hand in hand
together into the drawing room. Mrs.
Gladstone runs to the piano and strikes
up a lovely waltz tune, and in a second the
two partners are dancing together, the
Grand Old Man putting into his pirou-
cites a lot Of fsnny, old fashioned little
steps, learned OF our great grandmothers
seventy five years ago, which IL was inn
possible to view without delight and APP
plause, although so much pathos mingled
with comedy in the touching scene.
But signal as these qualities of Mr..
Gladstone are, grand as his opportunities
have been, and splendid-with all its mis-
takes and perversities-h record, he has
had one supreme advantage which Heaven
bestows only on the most fortunate and
deserving. He has had noble and faith
full wife, the fast friend, the faithful pro-
tectress. the sure support Of her illustri-
Gus husbands years OF toll and glory.
Any body looking even now on the
comely face OF " Katy" as she is always
called at Hawarden by all except the young
folks, would know that she had been most
beautiful woman; and when she and her
sister were married on the same day at
Hawarden TO Mr.. Gladstone and Lord
Lyttleton respectively, never probably
had two such handsome young brides been
seen i'm the length and breadth OF the
principality.
Mr. Gladstone has the happy gift OF
sleeping whenever he wishes 20 sleep, Of
changing his current OF thought at will,
entirely banishing from his mind what
previously engaged him. and 10 this Is
due hiSprolonged life and yigor.

House Committee Listens 90 Evidence OF
Alleged Pension Office Crookedness.

Mouse Nomnlttee Listens 10 Ltiucnce OF
Alleged Pension Office crookedness.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The House
committee investigated the pension Office
again yesterday. Martin B. Bayly, a law
clerk in the pension office, was questioned
regarding the receipt at the Office OF S72
from pensioncr in New Hampshire. The
money was placed on N is desk TO be later
covered into the treasury.
At witness direction the money was
temporarily placed in safe in the assist
ant chief clerks office, room also occu-
pied by Green Il. Raum, Jr., the appoint
ment clerk. Ii was sometime before the
money was returned TO him. Several
weeks after he ordered it returned Rnum
came TO him one day and asked witness if
he was in hurry for it..
After some conversation the matter was
allowed TO rest. The money was after
wards returned in bills OF the same de-
nomination as il had been received at the
department. After the money was re-
turned witness related the circumstances
TO Assistant Sec. Chandler. He also had
a similar conversation with Assistant Sec
retary Bussey.
The day before the money was returned
witness spoke about it 60 the commission
er, who promised TO look into the matter.
The next morning the money was return
ed.
witness said that when the money was
put in the safe IL was sealed in an envel-
ope, but when il was returned to him il
was not enclosed. Witness testified that
IA Mr. Hopkins had been recommended
for dismissal by him because he was un-
satisfactory, but the commissioners pro-
NOTED MIR. Hopkins TO a place paying
better salary in another division.
One thing hat prejudiced him against
Hopkins was that be found him looking
around his tBayly's) desk, one evening.
Hopkins had assisted the commissioner
very materially in preparing a second brief
and the commissioner had overlooked his
action in prying into witness desk,
In response to questions by eX-Repre-
sentative Pryson (of counsel for General
Raum) witness said he did not recollect
that Raum, Jr., had said TO him one even
when Raum was going away that the
money was at home and he would send
for il il witness desired il that evening.
Gen. Bussey had said TO him, i'm speaking
about the matter, that it was stir about
nothing.
Green b. Raum, Jr., testified that Sec
retary Noble demanded his resignation
and declined TO allow him to make any
defence. Witness was asked about the
appointment OF VIM. p. Smith on the rec
ommendation of one Strong, a colored
man.
He said Strong discounted n note for
him about the time the appointment was
made, but whether before or after the APP
pointment he could not say. He received
no peCuniary consideration from Strong
for Smiths appointment.
Questioned as to the S72 heretofore re-
ferred TO, witness repeated the story told
before the committee last session. Ad-
journed till Thursday.

contended that the provision violated the

Gladstone was eighty-three years old on

young" for he has just repaired blithely
and in good health and spirits - the Bis
cay coast, where ne has passed the winter
amid natural charms dear TO his soul and
in climate very superior 10 that OF Lon
don and Hawarden.
