have no doubt Disraeli loses friends
by his apparent insouciance and the
method in which he walks to his place
without looking at anybody-but I
surmise from my own experience that it
arises from nearsightedness. I perceive
that he cannot tell what O'Clock it is
without using his glass, and somebody
told me lately that he saw him Mailing
a police van, mistaking it for an omni-
bus. His face is often haggard and his
air weary and disappointed. but he has
the brow and eyes Of q poet, which are
always pleasant to look upon.
He generally says the right thing at
the right minute and in the right way,
and he is Justify cheered, but sitting
among the opposition l have abundant
reason to note that he is not completely
trusted. 1t is said that young Stanley
and other youngsters of his class believe
i'll hin, and that the man who is so tact

panion among his familiars and is Il
