Article Sets the Critics Agog.
Mr.. Gladstone has played unconscious
iy capital little joke upon his critics,
literary and political, and is said to be
enjoying it as much as anybody. Fifteen
years ago he wrote for a now defunot
Magazine an article entitled '"The Evan
gelioal Movement; Its Percentage Prog
less and Issue. This was recently un-
earthed by the editor of the present
Evangelical Magazine, who, with the
authors permission, republished it in
the December number. The critics, with
one accord, treated the article as new
and praised or sneered according to their
political beliefs, which is quite com.
mon way of writing literary criticisms
here The Liberals, of course, found in
the article proof that Mr. Gladstone'a
intellect had improved, like good wine,
with age, and the Tories, with equal
certainty, detected signs of mental de-
cay. The Radicals, too drew comtors
from it as showing that the Grand Old
Man in his retirement was more eager
than ever to sever the connection be.
tween church and state, while the Whig
churchmen discovered in hisremarkable
article abundant arguments in favor of
the maintenance Of the union between
the state and church.
As matter of fact, the Grand Old
Man rssw writes little, although he ia
bombarded with applications from edi-
tors in all parts Of the world. He is like
ly to write still less for the outside
world if 10 be true, as rumored, that he
has commenced debating his memoirs
to his wife. The greater part of every
day is still devoted to reading theolog-
ical works from his already famous Ii
brary, and collectors will learn with in.

notes upon every book which passes

A wonder Of CoIorinp In F1oxsrs

Ihe editor of 'Notes For the Curl
Gus" recently read a wonderful % &C.
count of bunch of roses kept in New
York herbarium, which still retain their
original color, Notwithstanding the fact
that they were cut from the parent stalk
three years and one month before the
signing of our Declaration of Independ-
ence. The editor of the paper in which
the notice appeared, he no doubt consid-
ering it the eighth wonder of the
world, asked if any reader could give
information concerning a case in which
roses or other flowers had retained their
natural colors for so long time.
We would state that we have seen
well preserved wreaths and garlands of
lotus, red and yellow poppies, and other
unclassified flowers which were found
on Egyptian mummies known to have
been dead over 6, 900 years. The red
poppies were but a shade lighter than
those dried and pressed but month or
year before, aud in the case of the yell
low variety there was no distinguish
able difference between those from the
ancient tombs and specimens which had
been dried but week. If the editor who
refers to the colonial roses as wonders
will visit the Egyptian museum at
Cairo, he will find dried colored flowers
of sufficient antiquity to excite bis Won.

Some varieties of cards have the pic

er night a party of jovial spirits sat
down to while away few hours at the
seductive pastime, and when some one

poker this means a great deal. A player
can cheat to his hearts content provided
he is not discovered, and as all the
players were equally we'll equipped

to-
During the game one of the players
excused himself for moment on some
apparently proper plea and left the
room. While he was absent he secured
a new deck of cards and arranged them
SO that the person who dealt them would
receive four aces, while the man to his
left would get four kings. In his hurry
he failed to remove the bulls head. Re-
turning to the room, he took his seat
and winking to the man next to him,
whose deal it happened to be, he deftly
slipped him the 'cold deck. E" The deal.
er, having confidence in his friend, took
the pack and dealt out the hands. OF
course he got the four aces. The betting
was confined to him and the man to his
left, and at last, when each had his
cash and all his worldly possessions in
the way of jewelry and wearing apparel
staked on the result, the hands were
called.
The dealer gladly announced the pro.

Strange stories are told of the Doko&

BOO woods to the south of Kaffa and
susa in Africa Only 4 feet high, of a
dark olive color, savage and naked, they
have no fire. They live only on ants
mice and serpents, diversified by few
roots and fruits They let their nails
grow long, like ta1ons, the better to dig
for ants and the more easily to tear in
pieces their favorite snakes. The Dokos
used to be invaluable as slaves, and they
were taken in large numbers. The slave
hunters used to hold up bright colored
clothes as they came to the bamboo
woods, where these human monkeys still
live, and the poor Dokos could not re-
sist the attractions offered by such su-
perior people. They crowded round
them and were taken in thousands. In
slavery they were dooile, attached,
obedient, with few wants and excellent
health. These queer people have one
