Mr.. T. NJ Heay has contributed to The
Westminster Gazette" a remarkable study Oh his
late cheftain. Mr. Parnell. Considering no"
little Mr. Healy loved his leader. and now deep
was Mr.. Parnells contempt for the gutter
sparrow" one cannot but admit the absence OF
any urfairness in Mr. Healy's writing Inc
chief object of Mr.. Healy In producing 'his
sketch seems to have been to show up the super
sttious side Of Mr. Parnells character very
small. indeed. must be the number OF educated
men who are swayed by the strange notions
that appear TO have Influenced not only 'he OF
binary but the greater actions of Mr.. Parnelrs
life. Mr.. Healy attributes all this TO an OH
nurse. named Mrs. Tupenny. who seems to nave
instilled into the mind of the young patriot all
the details and terrors of Irish superstitioh'
For instance. SO unlucky did Mr.. Parnell con-
slider the number thirteen that when drafting
one of his greatest measures he was horrlfied TO
find IT included thirteen clauses. and he INSISTED

1.-THE Athenaeum" gives highly favorable
review of Mr. Isaac N. Ford's Tropical Ameri-
ca" just published in London The reviewer,
in the course Of a long article on the pooK'
writes: His experiences are given in crisp,
vigorous language his capacity for grasping
the true and rejecting the false calls for high
commentator; his impartiality is unquestiona-
Bile, although his readers may not agree with
all his conclusions; and his views OF British
policy demand special consideration as coming
from an American who sees the shortcomings
of his own Government quite as keenly as he
does those Of ours"
The Intervention Of Turkish diplomacy is
matter Of rare occurrence as to provoke sur
prise whenever we hear of 1t. Some months
ago the Turkish representative in Paris startled
Europe by protesting against dramatic per-
Torrance in that capital which. in his opinion,
burlesqued the sanity character Of Mahomet.
The French authorities smiled at the zeal of
the Caliph's representative. and acquiesced in
his request for suppression of the offending
piece. This week we have another experience
of Turkish zeal nearer home. The Gaiety Com
pany recently produced burlesque OF Don
JUAN" which has already been the occasion Of
several eontretemps In the first instance. the
Lord Chamberlain refused the piece because it
introduced President of the Divorce Court
and named him "Sr Francis May This col

Jeune. the popular judge who separates I'M
happy wives and husbands. was altered. and
the piece ran happily for four nights.
Then gentleman from the Turkish Embassy,
doubtless delightng in memories of Don Juan's
performances at Constantinople looked In at the
Gaiety to see how the infdel treated that men,
orable event. He was Mortified to find that his
august master, the Sultan, was not only bur-
lesqued, but even kicked about the harem floor
by the representative Of Don Juan. The atten-
ton Of the Lord Chamberlain was bravely
called to this subject by the Turkish Ambassa-
dor, and the manager of the theatre was as
gravey requested TO withdraw everything that
might seem to reflect upon the credit or re-
spectabty of friendly sovereign. With con-
siderable ingenuity. Mr. George Edwardes
pleased all parties by altering the name Of the
person to Jabez Pacha, in evident allusion to
the notorious swndler, Jabez Spencer Bafour,
who just now is enjoying himself at Buenos
Ayres, and is very much wanted in London for
frauds connected with the Liberator Building
Society.
