Tho vsdsbona Assor,

Moliere raised the status of the ac-
tor to hireling clown who must
amuse his king. Sir Henry Irving was
even knighted by Queen Victoria, who
recognized his magnificent services to
dramatic art. But in all the years when
Sir Henry was breaking his neck to
run back and forth between Victoria s
royal residences and the cities where
he was playing. to set up his scenes
and act for the old queens amusement
and the entertainment of her guests,
he was never once officially received
by her at court. He had many private
audiences, which were much the same
for him as to have a chat with any
other old lady; but, although he was
the possessor of a royal title, favor
lite with tile royal family and the
greatest actor Of his age, he never was
invited or commanded" as it is
called, to Buckingham palace. The
status of vagabondia chung to his gar
ments, and he was classed with crook
ed mobiles and other undesirabes.-

CarIyIe's Sheer at Gladstone.

]. e. Boehm, the sculptor, once met
Gladstone at country house and was
immensely impressed by the extent
and diversity Of the statesman's knowl-
edge as revealed in his conversation
Boehm was still full of the subject
when the morning arrived for Carlyle's
sitting for bust, and to the philoso-
pher the sculptor poured forth his adj
miration for Gladstone's intimate ac-
quaintance with subjects so far apart
rs gardening and Greek. Carlyle lis
tened for a time in scornful silence;
then he said. "And what did he say
about your work." ooh, nothing"
said Boehm. "He doesn't know any
thing about sculpture" "Of course"
growled Carlyle, "of course, and he
showed his knowledge about things
that you didn't understand. No doubt
If you asked Blackie he'd say that
Gladstone knew nothing about Greek,

he knew nothing whatever of garden
