Gladstone and DfsraeIf.

A singular story WAS once related by
Mr.. Gladstone with reference 10 the late
Hon. Mrs. Francis Stono<. Mr.. Gladstone
was asked during the seventies how he
was able to bear without irritation the
fierce political attacks of Lord Beaoons-
field, then Mr. Disrsel. He replied that
Mr.. Disraelps onslsughts had but little
effect upon him, for he Temem bered the
following incident When Disraei was
assailing Sir Robert Peel he was In vited
TO q dinner party, at which Mrs. Stonor,
then Miss Eliza Peel, was a guest. Mr..
Disraeli happened to sit near her at din
ner, and endeavored TO enter into conver-
sation with her. She met him with
marked coldness, and replied to his OBJ
servations in monosyllables and with
averted face. Mr.. Disaeli persisted in his
attentions, whereupon Mrs. Stonor
turned angrily upon him and asked him
what he meant by prosecuting her with
his distastsful society, having regard to
his conduct TO her father. Mr.. Disrseli
replied with the greatest nonchslsnce Q:
Really, Miss Peel, l Rm surprised
that you misunderstood me. l am
q man OF the world. l mean no un-
kindness to Sir Robert; / am only think
ing of myself" YES" said Mr.. Glad
stone, "I bear In mind that Mr.. Disraeli
is only thinking of himself; the knowl-
edge is an sntidote to irritation."-Wes

naturalist and the student, are all equally

II the Californian abroad wished TO
boast of typical resort and one which he
would be willing to place in competition
with the resorts of the Old World, he
would without doubt choose Del Monte,
rather than any one of a half-dozen others
for which he might personally have a
fondness Del Monte embraces every
thing that makes life out of town enjoy
able, and, among other points, 1t ls easy OF

in San Francisco, determines to see for
himself whether the Californian's boast
ing be true, trRverses 8 section of the
State which will give him an idea of what
California really is. The hundred miles
ride between San Francisco and
Monterey must be a continual sur
prise, if he be looking for the buffalo
and the Digger. Orchards, vineyards,
grain fields, forests of oak. stately coun-
try mansions, charming little villages,
modern cities, form picture that only
needs here and there a red-pettiooated

A THIEF'S RUSE.

A bridesmaids widow of thirty five
summers decided on marrying again.
She was in comfortable circumstances,
but was haunted by the dread of the
apparition of her defunct husband s
ghost and thought that the presence
of a successor might have the effect of
keeping it away. All went we'll for
three months after the wedding, at
least so far as the ghost was concerned,
but nevertheless the couple somehow
fell out, and determined to apply for
divorce. In the meantime the man
went his own way and his spouse
remained at her abode.
A day or two ago. just as the witch
ing hour Of midnight had struck, the
lady beheld, by the pale moonlight, a
figure, wrapped in what she believed
to be a shroud, enter her room. Con-
WINGED that this must be the dreaded
ghost of her first husband, she hid her
head under the bedolothes. and SO
passed the night in state Of abject
terror. She grew holder when the sun
was up, and then perceived that her
wardrobe was open and that the sum
of $50 fancs had disappeared.
Manifestly the ghost could not have
been the perpetrator of the theft A
visit was promptly paid to the Police
Commissary, the adventure related,
and, it having transpired that the
locks had not been tempered with and
that husband No. 2 was provided with
key of the apartment, he was sent
for. At first he tried to deny, but at
last he confessed that he had taken the
money, having wrapped himself up in
sheet, as he was aware of his wife s
weakness in regard to ghosts. The
Police Comimssary cleverly seized this
opportunity of reconciling the couple.
and there is no more talk of suit for
a divorce. Letter to London
Telegraph.

he felt something at his coat tail. and
putting his hand into his pocket he
found an egg. This he took out and
most adroitly transferred it to the
pocket of young man just in front Of
him-a person as unlike himself as
can well be imagined. Arrived in the
hall, he remarked where the young
man placed himself, and chose his own
seat in a corner as remote as possible.
