voitaIre and the Regent.

Voltaire was put in durance vile in
his young days and 1t was not his fault
that he did not so to the Bastile di-
rectly after he came out. The regent,
who rightly judged that IL would be
better to have young Notaire for a
friend than for an enemy, sent the
Marquis de Noce to the Bastile with
orders TO release the young satirist and
bring him safe to the Palais Royal. Ihe
order was duly obeyed and, late in the
evening. Voltaire and the marquis ar
rived at the regents court. While
they were waiting in the. ante-cham-
Der a heavy thunderstorm occurred
There came a fash of lightning, fol-
lowed by peal of thunder so deafening
that an awed silence reigned among the
courtiers for few moments. 1t was
broken by Voltaire crying out in a loud
voice: Things could not be worse up
there If the heavens were governed by
a regent" The Marquis de Noce re-
peated this remark TO the Due d'Orleans
and suggested that Voltaire should be
sent back TO the Bastile but the regent
only laughed and promised the young
wit pension.

plain, ungraceful speech had the effect

always pitched upon a popular key.

Mr.. Gladstone is credited with saying
that the secret of eloquence consists in
giving back to ones hearers in drops
what one has received from them as
spray. If this be Mr.. Gladstone's analy-
sis of his own power, we venture to
suggest that he does himself injustice.
But it serves admirably as a fgurative
expression of the essence of Lord Pal
merston's popularity. He knew his
public to perfection. Their national
prejudices appealed to him as man,
and upon these prejudices he built his
supremacy as foreign minister. OF
course there were not lacking those who
saw through all this. Indeed, they rep
resented very considerable and highly
respectable opposition. But Palmer
ston knew so well what the galleries
liked, and played to them with such as
siduity and success, that he could al
most afford to ignore his critics.
To say this is in TO sense to assert
tons, very unusuai administrative
abilities, or a smatterng of disinterest-
ed sentiment. A man may possess all
these and yet be little of demagogue
and very much of bully. Lord Pal
mcrston admirably eXemplifies the
statement. The fact that he was sue
cessively tory, dilriple of Canning,
a Peelite, and a liberal is simply to say
that he was man of generous instincts
who made an honest effort to keep pace
with the inevitable progress of events.
L. II be laid to his charge that he aided
and abetted Sir Robert Peel on that
famous day when che latter found
the wings bathing and stole their
clothes, it may be p,eaded In extenua-

Peel and Palmerston had grown to their
size and did hard work in them.

hard as flint but which look as if but
recently stripped of their foliage. Some
of these stone trees are standing Just
as natural as life, while others are piled
across each other just like the fallen
monarch of real wood forest. Geolo-
gists say that these stone trees were
once covered TO depth of 900 feet
with mari, which transformed them
from wood to solid rock. This mari
