SCENES IN THE STREETS.


In the meantime tho multitude continues in the
palace yard, and the cheering grows maddcning as
The royal procession goes out The Turk
ish Ambassador Is hooted and checred.
The multitude swarmcd all over the bridges,
through the streets and parks. Good humor
everywhere. Trafalgar square was occupied by
meeting OF several thousands OF the Magma Charta
association petitioning for the release OF the Ti;h
borne Claimant The mob prevented IRON speak

interfering dissolved without doing any harm.


THE INSTALLATION OF BEAcoSsrrELp.


After recess, during whicA many Of the men,
bers OF both houses drove to their clubs in Pail
Mall for luncheon, the Lords reasscmbled The
vast crowtsthat had been In the galleries 10 witness
the presence and majesty Of royalty had thinncd
considerably. The benches upon the main noor
again filed up but on this occasion they were
principally occupied by peers. The gallery con.
;aned many of Disraeli's iormer coadlutors and
opponents IN the Lower House. who were anxious
to witness the supreme achievement In the memoir
able life OF the late commoner


ONLY FORTY YEARS


They we're there just rs Dsraeli had been at the
drss opening OF Parliament by the new Queen VIC
toria l., forty years ago. There he, too had stood
as young member scufning at the bar Of the Lords
with Fate, fortune and prejudice OF race
nct I!a 1,o.v of
thlrty-two, been seated as q representative Of
the conservative borough OF Maidstone. Young
Disracli, for he looked much younger than his
years, was showily dressed even to the verge Of
roppishuess, regarded that memorable scene In
the cool cynical way In which, only few days
later he received his first hisses on the noor
of the Commons. The strangely wondrous
beauty Of his face In those days has come
down to these times through the medium
Of the profile sketches OF the young member dashed
on by the hand Of Count D'Orsay. These sketches
of boyish face, with clearly defined contour, peep.
ing forth from profuson OF long, wavy rnglets,
seem in grave contrast to the calm and conscious
power OF "the old man marvellous" who on Thurs
day advanced up the aisle OF the House OF Lords.


HOW HIS DAY CAME.


Then wellington, Brougham, Melbourne and Peel
ruled, but now is the day OF Dsraeli. All these
great names exist only in the peerage and in the
memory OF q nation Majesty herself OF public life
coeval, alone remains in the declining years OF q
long sovereignty. 1t is even more interesting
IN forf in fhA
Disraeli than In the eventiul record which
Royalty has left during the same extended period
Within few days OF the scene above given at the
Queens first entrance to the House OF Lords, he
of Forty refused to listen and hooted him down In
the rudest Of English fashions. 81 am not surprised
at the reception have experienced" said he. ~
have begun several times many things and have
often succeeded at last ! shall sit down now; but
the time will come when you shall hear me-"


woRK-Nor TEARS.


Within three brief years he had taken promi-
nent place among the members OF the House of Com.
spoke. At the end of ten years. or in 1s47 he was
recognized as leader in his party Among the
remarkable speeches in the long annals OF
the British legislature stand forth prominently
his severe attacks upon Sir Robert Peel for alleged
treachery to his party in the adoption of his free
trade policy. The mastery manner in which he
launched the keenest and most singing satire at
the heads Of his opponents marked him as one OF
the most powerful debaters in Parliament. He was
the recognized leader of the conservative party
in 1s4o. Then, and only then, began the
Jason-likc career whose golden fleece was
found on Thursday last in front OF the
Lord Chancellor's woolsack. The remainder
of his public lite Is familiar story Dsraeli's career
throughout is one Of the most extraordinary within
the whole range Of English history. Genus and
energy, uraided by wealth or family conncc tions,
have made this man leader of the House of Com
mons, Minister Of Finance in the most commercial
OF countries, and twice Prime Minister Of the
mghtiest Of modern empires. AS an old man, Dis
racli takes his seat in the proudcst assembly in the
world.


THE MAN OF DESTINY.


The ceremony by which Mr.. Dsracli was formally
created peer OF the realm was somewhat more
simple than that gone through with in former
times upon occasions Of like dignity. STILL many
of feudal splendor were retained The
Lord Chancellor resumed his scat on the woolsack
at half-past four O'Clock. The audience grew
impatient for the ceremony OF instala-
ton The procession soon after formed, in
m outside hall, which was to conduct the
Premier OF England to seat in the House OF Lords.
At a quarter to five It emerged into the great
rotunda. This gorgeous hail, standing midway
between the two houses OF Parliament, served as
sort OF hating place prior to the march OF triumph
10 the bar OF the Lords.
