THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED.
The Elevation of the Marquis of Lansdownc to the British Fora
 eign Secretaryship.

London, Nov. 1.-The marquis ot Lansdowne's elevation to the foreign secretaryship, according to the an nouncement in the newspapers, has, fguaratively speaking. taken the country's breath away. It was as unexpected as it is unwelcome. Even the staunchest ministerial mouth piece among the afternoon newspa. papers openly condemn it.
 The Globe declares the appointment only shows that Lord Salisbury is completely out of touch with the feel ings and wishes of tine electorate and the conservative party, while the lib. eral Westminster Gazette. growing ever the discontinue of the minis terial newspapers, which have been so loudly demanding the retirement of Lord Lansdowne, expresses relief at the fact that Mir. Joseph Chamber lain was not given the post, saying:
 "The latter's appointment would have filled thoughtful people with dis. may, and it is something to have es- capped this serious danger"
 Lord Salisbury, apparently, ar ranged matters with the queen at Bal moral, week ago. His lordship's own inclination was to resign the premier ship and devote himself exclusively to the foreign office. He wrote her ma l. esty to this effect, but she declined to accept the suggestion. Lord Sails bury, therefore, went to Balmoral to discuss the question. with the result that the. queen carried her point.
 Public anxiety is. to some extent, relieved by the conviction that Lord Salishury's experience will stin be available to direct the broad lines of policy of the prospective foreign min ister.

of Fredericksburg and it was just be- fore the Revolutionary war that George Washington finally succeeded in per- suading his mother to go to live with that daughter. Each morning her car riage was brought to the door, and she drove over to superintend the planting and to oversee the slaves. She attrib- uted her longevity to this out-of-door life, and there is no doubt that she stayed off her wasting disease.
 Only once is it recorded that she ap- peared in public with her distinguished son. The occasion was after the sur render of Cornwallis. It was Christ mas eve when he returned, after years of separation, and the mother was per- suaded to attend the ball given in honor of her hero. She was then past seven- ty, erect and well-preserved. With charming reserve and dignity, she pre- scented a picture of beautiful simplicity as she learned on the arm of her hon. ored son and moved among the gor- geously uniformed European and American military dignitaries.
 Soon after her son became president of the United States her strength began to fail. The secret of her sufferings was no longer hers. A cancer was end ing life in which was embodied the character of simple virtues and noble deeds. the evening of August 25, 17S3, at the age of eighty-three, she died composedly as she had lived. For years her grave was unmarked, even by headstone; but in 1883 President Jack son laid the cornerstone of monu- ment which bears the inscriptions:
