Sir Edward Grcy's remarkable utcranccs in
the House Of Commons on Thursday last con-
dnmning the policy Of the French in Africa con-
vcy the impression Of having been made with
out the knowledge or sanction Of the Queen.
Calculated as were his remarks TO wound the
susccptibiliics OF Il friendly nation, whose Gra-
cious hospitality she is AT the present moment
enjoying. and 10 which England Is more closely
bound by economic ties than 10 any other ppo-
pie, II may safely be assumed that they would
have been cOuchcd in a more friendly vein or
else have remained unspokcn had she been con
suited. II is only necessary 10 remember how
at the time Of the Trent imbroglio. in 1861, she
insisted on eliminating from the note addressed
by the British Government to our State Depart
Ipent everything calculated TO cause irritation
and offence on this side OF the Atlantic. Had
the dispatch been sent as originally drafted by
her Minister'S, war would probably have cnsucd.
whereas In It's altered form the document not
only permitted an amicablc settlement Of the
trouble, equally honorable TO both parties, but
likewise contributed TO strengthen the bonds OF
kinsmanship and friendship between the two
great Engllsh-spcaking nations Of the world.
Sir Edwards speech on Thursday Is reported
to have been made Immediately after the CON
cluson Of a Cabinet council held within the pre-
clncts Of the House Had more time for rcnec-
ton been allowed. and had not the Queen been

A Valuable Tip.

Meissonier lived and died at Poissy A few years before the downfall of tn, empire Princess Mathilda, who was z great admirer of the artist, paid visit to his studio, Meissonier pressed her tc stay to dinner. The princess would, nc doubt have gladly accepted the invita-. tion, but she was anxious to get back early to Paris, and the half-past eight express did not stop at Poissy.
 'Is that all?" said Meissonier; q will put that right"
 And he walked down to the station where he obtained authority to stop the express. Next day he went to thank the stationmaster, and promised him a study. Some time later the station master reminded the artist of his prom ise.
 The fact is--Tm at loss for sub ject."
 "Well, then, paint my portrait"
 And thus it came to pass that the Poissy station-master obtained a pic- ture which, at the present day, Is worth from twelve to fifteen thousand francs. -Le Journal de Rouen.
