PREJEDIGE.

The Monroe County Spa makes the following observations, which are very pertinent at this time
 Is there a prejudice against great men? Gladstone, England's grand old man, was barely elected the last time he offered for Parliament. Hampton was defeated by Irby, who was in every way his inferior. Hughes went down under a man who could not compare with him. Fishbaek has been held back for years while men who were not knee high to him in ability and party service were honored with positions. Breckinridge, of the Second Arkan sas district, one of the foremost mer in the nation and ablest Democrats Arkansas or the South ever sent tC Congress, is said to be defeated by an untried, unknown and at bes' only an ordinary man. No thought ful person can doubt for one mo ment.that preiudice-pure and sim pie pre1udiee-is the underlying cause for the political reyerses O the men above named.

LORD RosEBERY is q man of des
 tiny, evidently born under a lucky star, because there are but few men in history who have had their hopes and desires fulfilled as completely and as early in life as the young sue cessor of Gladstone. It is said of him that while at college he de- elared that fl was his ambition to marry the richest girl in the United Kingdom, to become Prime Minister of England and 10 win the Derby. An of his hopes and ambitions have been realized, and yet he is only about 45 years old. He married Hannah de Rothschild, the richest woman in the Kingdoms is now Prime Minister of England and the successor of the great Gladstone, and Wednesday his horse, Ladas, won the London Derby against the finest and best racers in England. Lord Rosebery is lucky and for tunate man.

Her face WAS dimpled, round and falr,
Her es we're brown and mild
And when saw her teaching there
longed to be child.
Rnt when a youngster failed to mind
And thoroughly was spanked,
That youthful days were far behind
My lucky stars | thanked.
She set me in a lofty place,
And handed me a book,
Behind whose pages at her face
yentured oft to look.
And as her pupils spelled or read,
took passing part,
Permitting them to leave of head
The while l left off heart.
Now I'm a candidate, feel
A curious elation,
A wondering 'twixt woe and veal
Ger my examination.
On passi e it my heart is set,
And hardly can | wit
Till she and together get
A joint certificate. Puck.
