LORD D~UNRAvEN.

His Political Life as shown by Par
Iiamentary Record.
Lord Dunraven took his seat in the
house of lords as a supporter Of Mr..
Gladstone, who subsequently offered
him a minor post in the government.
But at that time the young traveller
took but little part in politics, and so
declined the flattering invitation. His
real entry into public life and, in fact,
the foundation of his subsequent are
as Il politician are due to a newspaper
article which he, wrote OH Mr.. Clad
stones famous attack on Lord Reacons-
field. The article obtained much at
tention at the time and attracted the
ICtice of the Conservative chief, who
was much struck at the clever criti-
cism of the young Liberal peer. An
acquaintance fsprang up between Lord
Beaconsfield and tn writer which later
ripened into friendship, and probably
had something to do with Lord Dun
raven joining the Conservative party.
His early speeches We're chiefly on for
eign policy and the intimate knowledge
he showed respecting treaties of all
kinds was an additional link between
him and the leader of his new party.
His favorite theme was Egypt, and
he rarely missed IN opportunity Of
condemning Mr.. Gladstone's policy in
respect to that country. Later on he
interested himself more especially in
colonial affairs. Here his personal ac-
~uu4int0nco with tho North Amorioan
colonies stood him in. good stead, and
gained him the ear of the house Of
lords. Thus it was scarcely surprising
that when Lord Salisbury came into
Office he chose him as under secretary
Of state for the colonies, a post he
again filed on the return Of the Conser-
natives in power in 18S6.-McClure's
Magazine.

It IS on q jutting point Of rock in a

OF the Vicomte Chateaubriand were on

was night when they neared the coast,
and a terrific storm was raging. No
boat could venture to the assistance
OF the crew, and the vessel was wreck
ed upon q rock not far from the shore.
The mother OF Chateaubriand passed
the rock anG there he was born. When
he had reached manhood he desired
that, As his life had commenced sur

In death, guarded BY its restless waves.
He accordingly purchased the rock and
