solid advantages to the s4ribes," he himself
taking all the while most particular survey of
the land from the Thames to the Mediterranean,
and thence to the Hoogly and the banks of the
Gulf Of Carpentaria. Standing on the right Of
the throne, his Sinai at this glorious moment,
Mr.. Disraeli will overshadow every politician
in England, and sit subsequently in his place
during the session securely and calm, survey
ing the petty strifes of the old party men
raging around him, as did his illustriOus ances-
tor when he sat with Aaron and Hur and
watched the battle of his people with the
Amalekites. These Amalekites were, we are
told, Of uncertain origin, just like the members
of the Gladstone Bright opposition, and we are
well aware Of the terrible judgments which
befel them for their conduct in opposing the
progress of the ''chosen," as we will soon learn
how completely Disraeli will have routed his
parliamentary adversaries by the exercise OF
his great system of Hebrew tactics carefully
adapted to the occasion.


AS this system comes into full play John
Bright win gradually disappear from the
political platform, Gladstone's learning OF the
schools will be oonfounded by its simplicity,
the hereditary policy of the Stanleys, the Rus
sells the Towards and the Talbots be dissi-
pated by its superior wisdom and antiquity,
and all existing interests be compelled to ac-
commodate themselves to the new DISPENSE
ton. This is just what Great Britain requires.
No more tinkering or palliatives according to
family recipes, but an impartial examination
of the case and clean sweep towards radical
cure. Who among the public men of Britain
can accomplish this except Dsraeli ? Not one.
He will not permit poor man to be spit upon
for the reason that he may wear threadbare
''gaberdine," for he believes in blessings
in store for the lowly; he will not see the
nation emaciated by the taxgatherers Of the
Crown, for he knows in what unpleasant form
King John applied to his own ancestors for
money in the very city of London; he will not
have the country distracted longer by religious
broils, and will silence Cardinal Cullen, the
Archbishop of Westminster, the Puseyites,
Protestants, Methodists, Baptists and others by
having copy Of the law as expressed in the
Ten Commandants read as standing reply to
every religious deputation which may call in
Downing street. Through his people he can
learn the condition Of the British army any
day, for its officers "apply" just as frequently
to them as they do at the War Office; and who
should be as popular with the navy as the
direct descendant of the man for whom q sea
was s'ruled" so as that s'the waters were a
wall unto them on the right hand and the left ?"
He will pay the Alabama claims, as he
thoroughly understands the rule of compound
interest and the accommodating charges of cent
per cent.


Mr.. Disraeli will have new measures and
new men. Baron Rothschild is to be advanced
step in the English peerage-perhaps as
counsellor, like Aaron. There may be some
little difficulty here; for what title will the
Baron take? We at first thought of an Irish
one; but this would at once revive the old
difficulty between the Sons of Phenicia-in the
shape of Fenisns and Israelties-and thus
disturb the equanimity of the great leader.
No; Baron Rothschild must have Hebrew
title, which Mr.. Disraeli can easily suggest
from his extended acquaintance by travel in
the East In face of this new state of affairs
the descendants of the Conqueror will soon
take to useful callings and England be thus
relieved of q heavy incubus Indeed, we
already perceive symptoms tending in this
direction in the fact that the Prince of Wales
had just had ''run with the engine" and
worked well at fire in London, and the
report that Lord Pelham Clinton, who comes
direct from chamberlain Of Normandy,
through the Duke of Newcastle, is to retire
from Parliament and appear on the stage in
America.
