CARLvLe'S PECULIAR WAYS.
He Was Terrible In HIS Old Age II Crossed,
nut Eninrcd Fun.


The in functions left by Mr. Froude n
his will respecting the destruction of
all the papers in his possession relating
to Mr.. and Mrs. Carlyle revive many
memories respecting the Sage of Chcl-
sea- During the Russian Turkish
war Nh. Cnrlylc's sympathics were, rs
was we'll known, sterEiy Russian. and
any mention Of the unspealiahle Turk
reused his wrath to u terrible extent.
1t WAS my fortune TO sec a good deal of
him in those days, and one night we
met at the dinner table OF very great
common friend, when he was specially
wrathful at some incident which had
occurred in connection with the conflict
then going on.
To contradict him or argue with him
was useless. us it would only fan the
flames; so we all sat in silence listening
to the torrent of vehement. angry
abuse of the unfortunate Turks, who
were then performing prodigics of vnlor
against overwhelming odds. He ha-
rangued us for some time and received
no response. The groylings Of the thun-
der became lower and lower and at last
ceased with loud laugh and chuctle
at the conspiracy of silence, of which
no one enjoyed the fun more than him
self. He cXclaimed: ''Wcll, Welt
sec am going TO have the jaw all to
myself" and quickly changed the sub
icct, choosing another, on which we
could all join in more or less modified
agreement.
If not contradictcd (and at his age
very few cared to irritatc the old mani.
he soon rclinquiShcd his solilopuv and
fell into the conversation around him
pulling great clouds of smoke from his
pipe. and growing remarks of approval
or of dissent.
l always remember the last time
saw him. but a very short time before
his death. lie was lying on tho sofa
IN the room so we'll known TO us all:
his goddanghter. little girl OF some
seven years, who had brought him =
pair of warm gloves to wear, standing
beside him.
lie was very weary and very tired of
NE, and the contrast was striking be-
tween the child on the threshold Of
NE, with toys, its pleasures. and its
fccblcncss, still unfoldcd, standing be-
side the aged philosopher, whose dim
eye and shrunk form told of a life
struggle. wcarincss. and unsatisfied
ionglngs-who had drunk the cup of
NE to its drcgs; who had won
tame, rcnown; who had left name
that would live in all time: who vet
iongcd for death with passionate
longing.
1t was one of the most dramatic pic
lures one had ever seen, and one that
could never pass from the memory of
those who saw it.-Lady Jeune, in

those who produce and export it. In
short, tho whole octopus business, like
the other dolectablo illustrations in
Coins School, is n delusion and q
snare. Tho worst thing that could happen
30 this country would he the ruin of Eng
land No merchant would look with sat
isfaction on tho ruin Of his best custom
CT.
Another favorte argument of tho free
silver advocates is that England first
adopted the gold standard and has grown
rich by II, and that therefore, it must
be bad for other countries. Let us noto
two things in this connection:
First.-England first adopted trial by
jury and the writ of habeas corpus. She
first enforced tho principle of freedom
that no man should bc deprived of life,
liberty or property but by tho Judgment
of his peorS or the law of the land.
Shall we discard these sacred munimcnts
of liberty because they are Of English
origin?
Second If England has prosporcd
under the gold standard, why not the
United States? Certainly no country
ever became really prosperous by tho
ruin of its ncighbors. In the great com :
monwealth of nations tho prosperity of
one makes trade with all and helps TO
enrich all.-From Everett p. Wt<eler' y
