many congratulatory kilograms.
Mr.. Gladstone's eyesight has been re.
stored and his health is good. he
spends hours daily in classical and theo-
logical study.
In addition to the many friends call
ing upon him to-day, Mr.. Gladstone will
receive deputation from the American
associations of London and Paris.
The congratulations upon this occa-
sion of the Troy newspapers seem to he
mingled with fear that Mr.. Gladstone
may be prevailed upon to return to ac-
tive political life.
The st. James Gazette says:
at is pleasant to think that the veter-
an is enjoying his ease with dignity and
we regret he did not take the rest to
which he was entitled years ago. How
much better for his reputation had ha
retired before the home rule bill Of
1886"
The Pail Mall Gazette says Of Mr..
Gladstone:
"May he for many years be able to
look back with satisfaction upon his old
age, study the classics and theology
and the encouragement of trade in eggs
and JAM"
The Midlothian Liberal and Scottish
Liberal associations have sent cOngratu-
latory message to Mr.. Gladstone.

More Pathetic Than Humorous.

An aged couple living in the
south part of this county who had de
voted their three score and ten to rural
life and the making of farm, sold
their possessions for the snug sum Of
$4,000.
When the purchaser called with a
notary public to close up the deal by
taking the deed of title the husband
having signed and passed 1t to the wife
she positively refused to sign without
a consideration, saying that she had
spent her life in making the farm and
had never realized anything she could
call her own and now was her oppor-
tunity. The husband failed to satisfy
her and secure the signature. Then the
purchaser asked to know what she
would take and sign the deed, fearful
that she would be exacting beyond his
lnclinaitions to comply. After good
deal of hesitancy she said she thought
she ought to have 50, which he prompt
ly handed her and she signed the title
She turned over the silver dollars time
and time again, laughing over her
good luck. She said:
swell, we'll, this is the first money
have ever had in my life that could
call my own and spend 1t as I may
wish to do to suit myself" -Indianap-
