MIR. DICKENS NERVES"

Charles Dickens had what the old wo- man scornfully said she thanked God she hadn't."-"nerves." They helped to make him the peoples novelist. Says his daughter:
 After the mornings close work he was sometimes quite preoccupied when he came in to luncheon. Often when We were only our home party at Cad s Hill, he would come in, take something to eat in mechanical way, and return to his study to finish the work he had left, scarcely having spoken word.
 Our talking at these times did not seem to disturb him, although any sud- den sound. as the dropping of a spoon or the clicking of a glass. would send spasm of pain across his face"
 In 1865 he was so shaken up by { railroad accident that always after ward he suffered an intense dread whenever he found himself in any kind of conveyance.
 "On one occasion," said his daughter, when We Were on our way from Lon don to our little country station, Higham, where the carriage was to meet us, my father suddenly clutched the arms of the railway carriage seat, while his face grew ashy pale and great drops of precipitation stood upon his forehead, and although he tried hard to master the dread, it was so strong that he had to leave the train at the | next station.
 ''The accident had lift it's impression | upon the memory, and it was destined | never to be effaced. The hours spent upon railroads were thereafter hours of pain to him. I realized this often when traVeling with him, and no amount of assurance could dispel the feeling."- Youths Companion.

Lord Kensington-is likewise cam paigning in South Africa as aid-de- camp to one of the brigadier generals, and the war department is unable to furnish any information as to his whereabouts. In view of the excep- tional circumstances. the courts acced ed to the application of Lady Kensing
 ton. mother of the dead peer. and ap- pointed her brother, MT. Johnstone Douglas. as temporary administrator and executor of the estate.
 
 The appointment of General Gervais to what is virtually the supreme com mand of the French navy, and the re appearance of his flag S.foat, serves to recall the somewhat peculiar circum- stances under which he was formerly ordered to strike his flag. and to go on half pay. On his return from Kron- stadt where his head had been some what swelled by the ovations of favor received at St. Petersburg and at Mos COW, as well as by the tokens of favor received from the cZar, he rendered himself guilty of a particularly gross piece of discourtesy to M. Lockroy. The latter was president of parliamentary committee appointed to investigate the condition of the various dock yards and naval arsenals. Admiral Gervais being
 called upon to give evidence, took it
 into his head to resent some remarks made by M. Lockroy. and when at the close of his testimony the latter courte-
 ously exclaimed that the country was
 proud of such officers and sailors as
 manned the French navy. and that he | begged the admiral to impress the fact | upon all those under his command, the admiral gruffly and rudely replied that 1 neither he himself nor the navy would
 condescend to accept any praise com | ing from M. Lickroy. The incident ere ated an immense stir at the time. and | in compliance with a demand sent by ! the president of the chamber of depu-
 tics to the naval department, the minis | ter of marine inflicted r. primand upon | the admiral.
 | A little later M. Lockroy became min ister of marine in the bourgeois admin 1 istration, and before he had been a fort night in office, Admiral Gervais, while commanding the Mediterranean squad ron, had the misfortune to run aground three of the finest vessels of his fleet, while maneuvering in the Baie de la Badine. It took nearly a week of immense labor and expense to get them afoat again. and no one was astonished when the admiral received a very curt departmental KrGer relieving him of his command and placing him on half pay Colonial Secretary Chamberlain is so warm friend and ally of Lord Wolse- ley that in view of the latter's notorious differences with the secretary of state for war, it is not astonishing that Lord Lands1owne should be made the sub- l ject of a very severe attack by the Birmingham Daily Post, the acknow- | ledged organ and mouthpiece of Mir Chamberlain. The attack is in connec-
 tion with the breakdown of the medi- cal department, and the Post denounces Lord Lansdowne's conduct as both
 ''fatuous" and scandalous. ."-Marquise de Fontenoy, in Washington Post.

MRS. GLADSTONE IN PARLIAMENT

To every member of parliament Mrs. Gladstone was familiar. She always occupied the same place. the corner seat in that part of the ladies' gallery which is at the disposal of the wife of the speaker, or his daughter if he has no wife. Her presence there was as certain 9 proof that her husband was going to make a great speech as the oriflamme of Henry of Navarro was to his troops during battle. She seemed to be almost part of the house itself; she leaned forward so as to catch every word. and was so palpably interested in her husband and so anxious that she seemed almost part of himself.
 It was her old-fashion5d idea that the wife should always be in the gallery to encourage the husband in the greater moments of his career. Once a friend of mine had to make a speech of some length and some perpleXity during the big home-rule struggle, and his wife had got a place to hear him. There was some difficulty in getting to the front row, as the gallery was crowded. Mrs. Gladstone turned round and said {: Why, it's his wife!' and said no more. That seemed to her sufficient and un- answerable claim to any place the lady might like to have.
 Mrs. Gladstone was even more at home when her husband and she wer> on the platform together. Indeed, the presence of the one would have seemed insufficient without that of the other. She always sat immediately behind her husband, and now and then she took advantage of a pause created by the cheers to give him a hint, or utter a gentle monstrance.-Mainly About People.

make public recognition of valuable as
sistance rendered to the republican cause
by rs able and discriminating Democratic
contemporaries. 1t has often happened
of late that the Anaconda Standard has
given the policy of the republican panty
a most substantial boost in it's discus
sion of the several platforms now before
the people. The republican press for In
stance has even contended that a policy
of expansion means a market fol-, western
breadstuffs and a demand for greatly in
creased mounts Of raw material, nusa-
bly, copper, cotton and other American
products. This contention the demo-
cratic organs with dull insistence have
refused to accept and even the Standard
at times has refused ITO concede the facts
which the figures of expectation were
daily bringing ito light. OF late, how
ever, the Anaconda paper has taken a
broader view of things, and three days
ago it published the following:
These newspapers 1ead off along a line
OF policy which takes the platform more
than literally at its word, by making
out of Imperialism the campaigns single

Let it be known to all men that should
it become necessary for this country to
declare war against China it will moi
be the war of a party, nor will it result
from the policy Of a party. The situa-
tion in Pekin has nothing to do with any
political issue now before the people OF
the United States. Should war come, 1T

izen regardless of party. and it will be
fought and ended before there will be
any reason or excuse for division or
party lines. That, at least. is the way

Literary and musical research has dis
covered the fact that the Chinese have
the oldest song in the world. 1t is the
domestic hymn of the people and resem-
bles in sentiment and popularity our own
"Home, Sweet Home. 1t was sung at
Kansas City by some prominent citi-
zens of Montana as soon as the commit
tee of credentials had reported. The

music, but the words are as follows:

1t is said hat if a white man will sing
these words to appropriate music to any
Chinaman seeking compensation for the
publication of linen the effect invariably
is a reduction in the amount of the bill.
This knowledge was frequently utilized
by one of the delegations from Montana
to Kansas City on account Of the vast
amount of dirty linen washed there and
! the enormous expense involved.

stagnation. The democratic organs are

they be successful, they would set up a
