LORD BEACoNsFIELD.
An American Writer'S Opinion Of the He
brew Premier Who Ruled England.

Adam Badeau in the Cosmopolitan
first met Lord Beaconsfieid at dinner
given by Motley while he was American minis
ter in London. 1 had just arrived from Amer
lea and had read Lothar on the voyage and
was able to report the immense sale of the
work in the United States. He was evidently
pleased with the popularity of his work. for he
never lost the vanity of the literary man. 1
remember him at a ball at Rothschilds' while he
was premier. The gorgeous salons were crowded
with princes and arlstocrats; the walls we're
hung with gobelin tapestry and priceless paint
ings by Raphael and Murillo. under which
young palms were placed at intervals. and as
the tall gaunt figure of the Jewish premier
giided through the halls of his compatriot and
under the oriental trees / seemed to see the
realization of his youthful dream. 1t was a
more ''Wondrous Tale than that of Alroy. but
there was nothing English in it after ALL
Gen. Grant was very much impressed by
Disraei and thought him one of the four great
est men whom he met abroad. The others
we're Bismarck. Gambetta and Ii Hung Chang.
the Chinese statesman. 1t Beaconsfield
who decided that Grant should be received in
England with the honors accorded to an ex-
sovereign Che was prime minister at the time),
and he sent the ex-President an invitation to
dinner before he arrived in London
They first met at Lord Derby's table
anu Tue WlluUreW tneV sat
and conversed for hour. Afterward Grant
was in Berlin during the conference and there
saw much of Disraeli. 1t there by the side
of Bismarck he formed his appreciation Of
Disraeli. And yet this selfish politician. this
man of tinsel. this statesman who left no
measure to mark his career, who passed
across the stage like an actor. with
show and fanfaronade, but stamping no i'm
press on his nation or his age, should
hardly have been thought of by the
side of the creator of the German empire
With Gladstone Grant had dealings while one
was President and the other premier, the treaty
of Washington and the arbitration at Geneva
was settled between them. Blu: it was the
who impressed the soldier; and
there could hardly be stronger proof of his
power. for 1t was the power of the imaginative
man, the player, over the man of action and
reality. 1t was the fascination that
Disraeli had for the plain, practical English
people, over the simple. homey, womanly
queen; the trick which the devil played with
honest people ever since he beguiled Eve. But
it takes Lucifer to do it.

The Real Thackeray.

George Augustus Sala In the London TeIeeraph
Mr.. Thackeray was unswervingly and inva-
riably truthful; he was kind. compassionate.
charitable and, to the best of my belief, strongly
imbued with religious principle and sentiment
OF his occasional propensity to treat one in
distant, stand-of and Great Twamley
manner have already incidentally and laugh
lngly spoken. l knew him long enough and
Intimately enough to regard these little ex-
hibltions OF 'peskiness' as utterly unworthy Of
serious notice. When i strolled into the hall
OF the Reform either at luncheon time or in
the evening and Saw Mr.. ThackerHy never
JAILED to take careful note of him. II, to my
thinking. he was in disagreeable humor
gave him the widest of wide berths But when
ne espied me and saw him put his hands in his
pochets ana beam over his spectacles knew
that he was in good form and that be would
be cheerful, tolerant and delightful.
he had an odd way OF calling me the Rev.
Or. Saia. chiefly because, l believe. l used to
talk to him gnite as outspokenly and seriously
as In the old time he had talked to me, and then
answer the questions which he was SO fond Of
putting to me in perfectly unreserved and
straig htforward manner. He knew how much
loved and revered him. and that is why we
got on SO well together. There were some
friends of his who used to call him 'Thack' and
slap him on the back. never called him any
thing but Mr.. Thackeray,' and l did 80 because
l knew he was my elder, and conscientiously
believed that he was in every way my better.
From the bottom Of my heart declare thai
he was not cynic: mean that he entertained
no morose nor cOntemptuous views and tenets
on human nature. The real cynic has the quail
tiles OF the surly dog; he snarls. he is captious,
he is surly. currish, austere. Bishop Berkeley
speaks Of cynical content in dirt and beggary.
Ihackersy, on the contrary, loved light and
culture and luxury. have heard him say that
he liked to go to his bed chamber at night with
wax taper and silver candlestick. That was
merely frank way of putting it. that he pre-
ferred the elegancies Of life to squalor an.
ugliness. He has been unjustly termed q cynic,
although ne was master Of irony, and on oc-
casions could use the scalpel with effect as terri
BILE as ever it had been used by Juvenal, by
Dryden, or by Pope. I never heard him say one
unkindly thing Of human weakness, or frailty,

DISSATISFACTION OVER PATRONAGE

Gov. Rich mas disposed of most of the patron
age at his command. and the amount of dis
satisfaction growing out Of the choice of Office
holders is much less than might have been ex-
pected. His appointments have a rule been
well received and give fair satisfaction. Presi-
dent Cleveland will hardly have such good for
tune in distributing the federal patronage
among the democrats. and he has been wise TO
defer making his appointments until after the
spring elections. The democrats in several
cities in the state are lining up for as lively a
fight as could be desired at any Donnybrook
far over the post Office and other patronage.

The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1893-07-14

1t is generally thought that the saying
that the only people in New York worth
knowing can be numbered by 400 was
originated by Ward McAllister, but it
can be found in the Bible. Acts v, 86,
which speaks Of Theudas boasting him
self to be somebody, to whom number
of men, about 400, joined themselves,
who were scattered and brought to
naught. The verse referred to reads as
follows, "For before these days rose up
Theudas, boasting himself to be some
body, to whom a number of men, about
400, Joined themselves, who were slain,
and all, as many as obeyed him, were
scattered and brought to nought."
Another verse worth mentioning in
this connection is from | Samuel xxi, 2,
"And every one that was in distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every
one that was discontented, gathered
themselves unto him. and he became a
captain over them, and there were
with him about 400 men. keystone.

Astrological student who had preached
one Sunday in city at considerable
distance from the school which he at
tended wished to take the early train
back on Monday morning.
He was delayed in starting, and had to
stop on the way to get a check cashed,
so that when he reached the upper end
Of the station the train which had
stopped at the other end had already
started out.
1t would pass him, however; SO he
waited, and when the baggage car
came along he threw his bag on board.
and with sensible precaution decided to
wait for the last car before jumping on
himself.
The bystanders watched the proceed
ing with interest, and broke into laugh
ter as the rear car came along. There, on
the lower step of the rear platform, stood
man who must have weighed fully
three hundred pounds, an effective hin
drance to any attempt toward boarding
the train.
