Gladstone and DisraclI,

A singular story was once related py
Mr.. Gladstone with reference to the late
Hon. Mrs. Francis Stonor. Mr.. Glad
stone was asked during tho seventies
how no was able to bear without irrita-
ton tho fierce political attacks Of Lord
Beaconsficld, then Mr.. Disraeli He re.
piled that Mr.. Disraeli's onslaughts had
but little effect upon him. for he re-
membered the following incident When
Disracli was assailing Sir Robert Peel,
he was invited to dinner party, at
which Mrs. Stonor, then Miss Eliza
Peel. was also guest. Mr. Disraeli
happened to sit near her at dinner and
endeavored 10 enter into conversation
with her. She met him with marked
GOODNESS and replied 10 his observations
in monosyllab!es and with averted face
Mr.. Disraeli persisted in his attentions.
whereupon Mrs. Stonor turned angrily
upon him and asked him what lie meant
by prosecuting her with his distasteful
society, having regard to his conduct to
her father. Mr.. Disraeli replied with
the greatest nonchalance: Really, Miss
Peel, am surprised that you misunder.
stand me. / am n man of the world
mean no unkindness to Sir Robert
am only thinking of myself" Yes"
said Mr.. Gladstone. II bear in mind
that Mr.. Disraeli is only thinking of
himself; the knowledge is an antidote
to irritation. "-Westminster Gazette.

Lonsdalc Has Outdone Scott.

Sir Walter Scott rendered himself

inestimable relic. Lord Lonsdale has
Cutdone him. The German emperor was
good enough to pay him visit, and
subsequently to invite him TO return the
visit. Says Lord Lonsdale Of his i'm
perial friend: HE is doubtless one Of
the greatest men that ever lived! can
not imagine that Bismarck is greater
man; but, If mrst make comparison,
/ would place your monarch n. the side
CT Moltke." His imperial majesty is,
gather. the eu1al Of Moltke because he
defeated one Of his own generals (clever
general y ut sham fight, and lie is the
greatest man that ever lived because he
was able to tell Lord Lonsdale the
names of all the sculptors whose works
Were in the imperial palace and the
pedigree of all the horses in the imperia!
