A Matter of Miles.

To the Editor of The News and
Courier: In your issue of to-day
| notice clipping from the Phil
adelphia Record, explaining the
meaning Of the term knot" The
article says:
"The word is synonymous with
the nautical mile, or 60S,027 feet,
while, as every ore knows, the
geographical mile is $3.50 feet.
This would make the knot equal TO
LIS OF a geographical mile"
hesitate to question such high
authority, especially when he dis
cerning eve of the editor of The
News and Courier fails TO discover
an error in the explanation, but
it seems TO me that the knot and
the geographical mile are identical,
both of them being 6,0S6.7 feet.
The statute mile is $3.50 feet, in
stead Of the geographical, therefore
a knot would be about lis of a
statute mile. &. w. WOLFE.

THE PASSING OF GLADSTONE.

His death knell was heard over
two continents when on last
Thursday morning William Ewart
Gladstone passed away. England
mourns and the world sympa-
thiz.s, but death has won no VIC
tory over the greatest man of the
century. "To die is my greatest
calling, said he, and the arch
enemy brought only solace to the
weary traveller.
Entering Parliament shortly after
attaining his majority, MIR. Glad
stone was in high official position
for almost sixty years. His pre-
eminent craftsmanship making
him Premier, he was almost the
uncrowned king of England for
nearly a quarter OF century.
But his craftsmanship was not his
.chiefest element Of greatness. His
striking characteristic was his
phenomenal ability for doing ex-
csllent work in varied spheres;
and, becoming master of whatever
ha turned his attention to, his
genius was of illimitable scope.
In the political world he was
known as a statesman; in the
religious, a theologlan; in the
classical, a scholar; in the sclen-
tiic, a scientist; and eve r
using his magnificent powers of
eloqience and oratory in the in
terest of suffering humanity, he
was known to that az a phllan
,thropist. Being in every essen
tial a christian, and never caring
for stronger support of the right
.ousness of any position he as
sumed in politics than the ell
dorsement of his Bible, Mr.. Glad
stone lett an impression upon the
world that he never could have
done by precept; and though he
is gone, his influence will live
forever.
A great and good man-the
chiefest of the great-has passed
beyond; and In his last moments,
a. he approached ''his chamber
in the silent halls of death, he
went. not. like sthe quarry-slave
at night sceurged to his dungeon;;"
but, sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust, approached his
grave "lke one who wraps the
drapery of his couch around him,
and lies down to pleasant dreams"
