Last night large audience listened
with evident pleasure TO Pr. ". a.
ColIedge's splendid lecture On Second
Tiddles." 1t was q strong, Intellectual
address full OF inspiration and fact,
and was considered the best OF the
course yet given. He argued that
many men are content to play second
adde's in the great orchestra OF life
who by energy and perseverance might
play a leading part in their profession.
He attributed most failures TO LACK
of this quality, and said that the field
of possibilities fer push and energy
in the world was unlimited. EVERY
man could be successful who used his
viii power to bring MS powers TO bear
on the accomplishment OF certain
object and the firm resolution to do
something was the first step to Sue
cess. This quality Of self-reliance was
always apparent III the character OF
the Scotchman, who asked for nothing
more chan fair play and an even
chance.
There We're many men who had at
one time played leading parts who had
drifteQ back into minor positions be
cause Of carelessness or lack OF en-
ergy. He stated that in London there
is a marquis, an earl, an ex-memDer
Of Parliament who are cab drivers,
and in Berlin there were men who had
Nonce been prominent army officers had
fallen into mental positions with not
enough energy to rise above their con-
Gitious He claimed that Abraham
Lincoln did not succeed because he
I was a genius, but because he possessed
an indomitable viii and persevering
energy. There WAS 10 obstacle that
these qualities could not overcome,
and the excuse that some men are born
lucky and their lives controlled by cir
/ cuElstances is the argument of cow
ardice and weakness.
Another requisite to success is orig
, inality. Men should be just what they
are and not an imitation. What is
needed to-day is planners and think
ers, and the men who make their
fortunes and win success are those
who give something new to the world.
Faithfulness is another quality that
/ is necessary to success, and what is
(
accessioEs, but great men to put their
| influence into ordinary channels. Good
principles are IS much needed as
ether qualities, and the rule should be
that the law for you is the law for me,
and the law for me in the law for you.
DR.. .ColIedge's lecture was replete with
apt stories and foreeful illustrations,
and Was intorspersed by frequent an
ecdotes, witty and interesting.

FOREIGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT.

Gentlemen privileged to wear the gorgeous uniform Of deputy ieutenant Of the city of London, the uniform in which, by the by. Sir Thomas Lipton, tea merchant and challenger fer the America cup. is by preference DOT trayed, have become so numerous as to excite ridicule. and the lord mayor and the court Of aldermen Of the city of London have therefore decided that no further appointments are to be made for 2 considerable time to ccme, save in very exceptional cases. The uni form is a very splendid affair, and abroad is usually taken for that cf general in the British army, since 1t consists Of a piumed chapeau of the same style as worn by British generals, 2 very similar scarlet and gcld-lacsd tunic, and the same gold-laced black trousers. In fact at distance almost tfla only difference that can ba observ- ed is in the shape Of the sword, that cf the cityA lieutenant being an ordinary straight affair with hilt guard, whereas the saber Of the British gen eral Dartakes of the character cf the oriental scinetar.
 Until now nominations to the rank Of city lieutenant, as the office is called for short, have been made practically for the asking. No lord mayor has evsr gene out of cffice without making his sons, his nephews. his brothers, as well as the male kirsfoIk and friends Of his two sheriffs, city lisu.enants.
 Retail shopkeepers by the score, watchmakers, tailors, eating house keepers by the score have figured in the scarlet and gold cf lieutenant of the city, and I would Ee afraid to say ECw many of these lieutenants have, during the past twenty years, figured disTeputably, not Cnly in the bank ruptcy court, but also in the prison CTS dock in criminal cases. Military men have complained over and over again Of the analogy Of the uniform of the city lieutenants with that Of field officers in the British army, and many is the time that at public functions on the continent I have noticed with amusement military honors being ren- dered L., vulgar locking tradssnen in city lieutenants' uniforms. under the Impression that they were full-fedged British generals, in some cases even the guard being turned cut in their honor-
 Prince Bismarck, eldest son and hsir of the great chancellor, has at length broken the silence Of his family with regard to Dr. Busch's memoirs Of his father and has definitely disavCwed and repudiated the authenticity of Dr. BEsch's utterances. The prince, in a communication to the Hamburg News declared that letters addressed to the chancellor and contained in the vol tunes were obtained surreptitiously by the doctor, and that their publication constituted a gross breach Of faith. The prince likewise declares that no stencgrapher was ever admitted to the family table at F'riedrichruh, and that consequently Busch can only have written from memory. The prince
