to rumors that dodge fact and mislead
public expectancy. One of Lord Beac-
onsfields supplies a case in point.
Queen Victoria, so runs the tale, was
anxious about the state of wind and
wave in the mid Atlantic, which the
Princess Louise happened then to be
crossing. A lord In waiting knew
professor who was weather. d1yiner,
and to him he went with message
from her majesty, who sent also mes
sage to Lord Beaconsfeld. The lord
in waiting was sent to theatrical
supper-it was Sunday night-in search
of the professor. Him he found in
this lively company and was himself
constrained to listen to the game of
words that was passing round. Which
would they choose if they had to mar
ry, Gladstone or Disraeli? All said
'Disraeli' except one, and she said
Gladstone, SO that L might elope with
Disraeli and break his heart"
The lord in waiting, much diverted,
went forth and, finding Disraeli in
rather low spirits, told him this tale
as an instance of his great popularity
with all classes of the queens SUBJ
jects. The whimsicality of the thing
was congenial to Disraeli, who was
kept waiting next day at cabinet
council for the arrival of an important
colleague. To pass the time he told the
assembled ministers the story Of the
theatrical supper. Lord Cairns, (absit
omen). hearing, did not smile, and his
solemnity put out Of countenance the
prime minister, who at once made the
nonarrival of the colleague an excuse
for postponing the council for couple
of hours. The balance Of power"
was then unstable, and that afternoon
the papers had headings: "War Immi-
nent. A Second Cabinet Council Sum-
moned." For once the ladies Of the

 In 1890 a German Franciscan friar, Fa- ther Bernard Joseph Dobbirg. was elect ed Bishop of the Ancient United Sees of Sutri and Nepi. The story of his coming thither is a remarkable one. It was in the times of the Kulturkampf in Ger many that a certain number of Francis cans, driver out of their own country. tock refuge in Italy, and purchased, a few miles out of Rome, an abandoned old sanctuary, Santi Ella. near Nepi. Father Dobbing was their superior. Through their restless energy and untiring zeal the Ger man friars soon brought back the ancient place of pilgrimage to it's former celeb rity The church was restored and deco rated. new buildings were erected. di- vine worship was carried out with fitting dignity and splendor, the fathers toiled in the confessional, in the pulpit. by mis- sions and retreats. so that their convent became focus of religion and sanctity for the entire district. Their superior is now Bishop of the diocese. and is ex- ceedinsly beloved by his Italian flock.
