An Explanation From Disrncli.

MIR. Justin Mccarthy, discoursing on
tho house Of commons, related Il capStal
story of Disraeli. 1t was during the
Russo-Turkish war, and while relations
were very strained between England
and the car il member was indiscreet
enough to put a question to Disraeli,
who was then prime minister, as to the
policy OF the government in the event of
the emperor of Russia doing certain
act.
Members snuddered as Disraeli, with
Almost funereai face, slowly advanced to
tho table. The question, he declared,
III slow, measured voice, was one of
such perilous moment that the honor
able member acted most unwisely in
putting it on the paper, yet it was Il
question of such importance that the
only course now open to the government
was to accept the inevitable and bold
ly answer. If declared Disraeli,
the emperor takes this step, all l can
say ls-and L am speaking after pro-
lonSed consultation with my colleagues
tho government will then give the
policy they are to pursue their very best
consideration. Westminster Gazette.

Cromwell and the specter.

The stories of the "White Lady" that
periodically visits the German royal
family and Of the Little Red Man
that frequently paid his respects to the
great Napoleon, are tolerably well
known, especially that of the former.
But few perhaps are familiar with the
story of Cromwell's "Giant Specter. ~
1t appeared to him one night when he
was wide awake and quietly resting on
his couch. In appearance the appari-
ton was woman of gigantic proper
tons. Approaching him, she announced
in tones like thunder, "Within the year

greatest man in Britain. st. Louis Re

A Queer Frcnk Of Memory.

Di. Z. Il. Radcliffe tells us of ii
French lady who had lived in France
until she reached her sixteenth year,
and up to that time spoke only French.
Then she came to England and began
to speak English
When about 20 years of age, she mar
RED an American gentleman, and from
that time for about 20 years she lived
sometimes i'll America, sometimes in
England, speaking English habitually
and French scarcely ever.
When DR.. Radcliffe saw her, her mind
was feeble, and that was all, but about
two years afterward he found she had
forgotten everything connected with
her married life. her English not cx
cepted, and if asked who she was and
where she was she gave her maiden
name and mentioned the street where
she had lived in Paris when q girl

A farmer went to hear John Wesley
preach. Wesley said he would take up
three topics of thought. He was talking
chiefly about money. His first was,

preaching. | never heard the like be-
fore. This is very good" Then Wesley
discoursed on 'Industry," "Activitv. :"
Living to Purpose" and reached his
second division, Save all You can. -"
The farmer became more excited "Was
there ever anything like this:" he said.
Wesley denounced thriftlcssncss and
waste, and he satirzcd the willful wick
cdness which lavishes III luxury, and the
farmer rubbed his hands, and he Thought,
"All this | have been taught from my
youth up" and what with getting, and
what with boarding, it seemed to him
that salvation" had come to his house
But Wesley advanced to his third head
which was, Give all you can" "Ah,

Two of us stood in that hallowed place

Was fixed on the laddo pictured there

Arrayed in satin and Jewels rare.
With priceless trimmings OF delicate lace
hair.

How Teller feels who has little to eat,
With pile o rags for his bestest clothes
An his home corner on Baxter street

woe,
= With the dreary lesson that life will give

And study the life that men must live

And the freckled cheek so round and red,
Then back to the pictures mournful ewes,
And the sorrowful droop of that childish
head;
And thought perhaps were the stories
=, OF the pictured child and the ragged boy,
The one might he read in minor tone
The other would end in peace and ioy,
Each child is held in Fathers care.
And their angels wait about His throne;
Each must his burden of sorrow bear,
And all the good gifts are not for one.

OF the last act, because Signor Perugini
declined to go on.
Ever since the announcement of the
GOODNESS between the fair prima donna
and her husband was made, tho love
scenes between the pair on the stage
have been extremely painful for Peru.
glni, and extremely amusing for the
audience. Miss Russell, however, has
regarded her scenes with her husband
as huge jokes, and her treatment of
Perugini on the stage has been as
amusing TO the rest of the company as
1t has to the audiences.
On Saturday night there was big
crowd at the Columbia Theatre, and
Miss Russell, who was in a hilarious
mood, kept them in fits of laughter by
her peculiar emphasis when her lines
compelled her 10 tell her husband how
much she loved him. Perugini was evil
IDENTIFY very uncomfortable during the
first two acts, and when the third act
came he positively declined TO sing tho
love duet with his wife, declaring, it is
said, that he did not propose to be made
a laughing stock for the audience.
All sorts Of arguments were brought
to bear on the tenor, but he was obdurote,
and the performance went on from the
point where the love duet ends. During
the rest of the play Perugini acted with
a self.consciousness which even made
the audience uncomfortable.
There were awful rumors around to-
day TO the effect that Peruglni had
whipped Miss Russells representative
when that astute young man became
too persistent in his endeavors to get
him to sing. Neither Perugini nor his
wife could be seen to-day, and the mem
bers of the company had nothing to say
excepting that the duet was not sung.
