Much doubt 


INTERNATIONAL CONTROL IN EGYPT. 
has been expressed as to the precise significance of the 
statement made by Mr.-Gladstone on Tuesday with regard 
to the negotiations which are now being carried on with 


France. The results of these negotiations are to be 
submitted to Parliament before the assembling of the 
Conference ; but it is by no means clear that if Parliament 
should disapprove of the policy of the Government it will 
be able to annul any decision which may have been arrived 
at. This uncertainty is most unfortunate, for there is grave 
reason to fear that the Government has already made large 
concessions to France. According to the Zzses, which 
seems to have access to the best sources of information on 
this question, it has admitted the principle of International 
Control in Egypt, so far as finance is concerned, and has 
even agreed that the new International Board shall be 
established before the withdrawal of the English troops. 
The only important. question which remains to be settled 
appears to be whether or not our occupation is to last more 
than two years, the term which has been suggested by the 
French Ministry. Should this account prove to be accurate, 
the proceedings of Parliament after the Whitsuntide Recess 
are likely to be of a very lively character ; for we may safely 
say that with the exception of the extreme Radicals no 
political party would be willing to sanction any such scheme. 
It would be impossible for England to set up in Egypt in 
the course of two or three years a stable system of native 
administration. If, therefore, we are soon to retire from the 
country, what the Egyptian people have to look forward to 
is the rule of a set of reckless adventurers, acting in 
association with a Board whose supreme object will be to 
protect the interests of the bond-holders. This may be the 
true consummation of the policy of “ Rescue and Retire ;” 
but, if so, itis a little difficult to see from what particular 
evil we shall have “rescued” the unhappy fellaheen, 


A PERIOD OF TRANSITION.——Mr. Joseph Cowen rarely 
speaks without saying something worthy of remembrance, 
and on Monday last at Newcastle he made some interesting 
remarks on the House of Commons. The efficiency of the 
House, he said, was temporarily paralysed by the state of 
transition through which it was passing. There was a 
democratic constituency and an aristocratic machinery, and 
the two could not work together without conflicting. There 
is much truth in this, but instead ,of using the words “con- 
stituency” and “machinery” as if they were necessarily 
‘opposed to each other, it might be still more accurate to 
state that the conflict of opinion is rather outside than 
inside the House, and is between the upper and middle 
classes on the one hand, and the working classes on the 
other. The upper class, it may be taken for granted, is at 
no time eager for radical reforms ; it is quite contented that 
things should stay as they are. The middle classes, too, got 
quite as much as they wanted in the way of Radicalism by 
the struggle of 1832 and the subsequent Anti-Corn-Law 
campaign. At the present moment they are far more afraid 
of the proletariat than of the Crown or the nobility, and 
therefore they heartily agree in the “ finality” doctrines once 
preached by Lord John Russell, when he scandalised his 
Radical admirers by saying, “ Let us rest and be thankful.” 
But the wage-earning classes are by no means thus satisfied. 
For them the era of reform, which for the professional man and 
the shopkeeper has definitively closed, is only beginning. They 
want all kinds of changes, and they anticipate the franchise- 
extension as a powerful instrument for gaining these changes. 
But there is another wide divergence between the upper and 
middle classes on the one hand, and the working classes on 
the other. © Partly from commercial instincts, partly from the 
far-seeing patriotism which is bred by education and travel, 
the former are deeply interested in the preservation of the 
British Empire; they approve of a firm and spirited foreign 
policy ; they are, in short, what their enemies call Jingoes. 
Among the mass of the working classes there is at present 
little of this enthusiasm. They care nothing for India, and 
even Canada and Australia are to them merely places, like 
the United States, where a poor man may hope for better 
wages than athome. It is these men who are even now 
the masters of the constituencies, and it is because they 
expect from the Gladstone Ministry domestic reforms for 
which they docare that they condone miserable misianage- 
ment in Egypt for which they do not care. Hence the 
phenomenon of a Government which is detested by “ Society,” 
and which yet retains substantial power. 


WOMAN SUFFRAGE.——The last argument for denying 
votes to women at Parliamentary elections was removed 
when the new Franchise Bill was introduced. So long as 
the franchise was exercised by a small minority of the male 
population, it could be called a trust ; but the power of voting 


has now been claimed as a right for.every.man in possession . 


of a rated habitation ; and, under these circumstances, -why 
should it be denied to women who pay rates? The woman 
who owns a house, a shop, or an estate, is quite as much 
interested in the expenditure of the money which she contri- 
but:s to the support of the country as aman ir the samve- 


- case; and fo say that most women do not care to have a 


vote is only a begging of the question. Most of the agricul- 
tural householders care little for the privilege which is going 
to be conferred on them ; but the promoters of the new Bill 
have told us from the first that this was an irrelevant argu- 


ment. Women ‘have generally been taught to- regard it as: 


unfeminine to agitate for political rights; but when the 
suffrage is given them, without any agitation on their part, 
they will learn to use and value their votes. At least, we may 
hope they will, for the influence of right-minded women at 
the polls would supply a very desirable counterpoise to the 
political foolishness of some members of the stronger sex. 
Women are admittedly shrewder judges of character than 
men (when their affections are not involved), and they will 
certainly, in their choice of candidates, prefer those having 
the qualities which their sex most prize—courage, energy, 
and faithfulness to a plighted word. : 


PEASANT PROPRIETORSHIP IN IRELAND. “ By 
pledging the credit of this great and wealthy nation, we are 
enabled to offer to the Irish farmer such terms as no other 
Government in Europe has offered, or could offer.” So said 
Mr. Trevelyan in introducing the new measure for the 
pacification of Ireland ; and, extravagant as the statement 
may at first sight appear to be, it is literally true. By this 
Bill every Irish tenant may, if he pleases, become his own 
landlord, without putting himself to any real inconvenience, 
for the Government undertakes to advance the whole of the 
purchase-money to those who are unable to provide any part 
of it. Mr. Trevelyan expressed perfect confidence that the 
farmers of Ireland would take advantage of the boon brought 
within their reach ; but it may be questioned whether he was 
not rather too sanguine. Rents have been so largely reduced 
that multitudes of tenants may see no particular reason why 
they should at present buy their holdings, especially if they 
hope, as they probably do, that owners may ultimately be 
forced to sell on terms even more advantageous to the pur- 
chaser. than those which are now attainable. Even if Mr. 
Trevelyan’s prophecies were fulfilled, however, wé should be 
far from hearing the last of Irish discontent. Mr. Parnell 
has always regarded the land agitation as merely the first 
step towards the severance of the Union ; and the majority 
of Irishmen will probably continue to clamour for Home 
Rule, whether their position be that of tenants or that of 
peasant proprietors. Besides, it must not be forgotten that 
England has still to deal with the grievances of Irish agri- 
cultural labourers, For them there is no charm in a system 
which will benefit only their employers ; and we may expect 
that by-and-by they will begin to ask why the land should be 
given to one particular class, since, according to Mr. George 
and Mr. Davitt, it is the property of the whole people. 


RussIA AND INDIA.——Every step which Russia makes 
towards the Himalayas makes the true patriot the more 
regretful of the Crimean War. It was a disastrous blunder. 
For the sake of bolstering up an effete dominion (which only 
exists through the jealousies of other Powers), and of 
strengthening the hands of a usurping Emperor (who was 
dethroned sixteen years later), we quarrelled with a rising 
and, till then, friendly nation. The Russians were just in 
such an embryo condition regarding the industrial arts as to 
make our commercial intimacy especially valuable. The 
trade connection still subsists, but the sentiment of friend- 
ship by which it was accompanied has been transferred to the 
other branch of the Anglo-Saxon family across the Atlantic. 
Since the Crimean War England and Russia have regarded 
each other with unceasing suspicion, We have personified 
her. as a cunning Bear, always ready to “ give the hug” to 
somebody or something ; while in Russian eyes England is 
the Grey Wolf of the Sea, cold-blooded, greedy, and 
unscrupulous. It is useless to regret the past ; the practical 
point to consider is what our future behaviour towards 
Russia ought to be. There is now really only Afghanistan 
between the two Empires, Afghanistan is a country in 
which it is very easy to foment disturbances. Supposing, in 
consequence of such disturbances, Russia found it her 
manifest destiny to annex part of Afghanistan, ought we to 
consider such annexation asa cause of war? Unless military 
experts assure us that the neutrality of Afghanistan is 
absolutely necessary for the safety of our Indian Empire, it 
might be well to let Russia alone till she touches our own 
borders, Such a warlike nation as the Afghans, if subdued 
by force, would be always ready to throw off the yoke, and 
would, in view of an attempted invasion of India, weaken 
rather than strengthen Russia. 


OWN CORRESPONDENTS._—Even those who are growing 
tired of seeing Mrs. Weldon’s name in law reports will 
waste little sympathy on the correspondent of the Paris 
figaro, who has been sentenced to pay 500/. damages for 
libel on this combative lady. It was high time that a 
caution should be administered to newspaper correspondents 
who imagine that they may write as they please about 
people provided their ill-natured gossip is printed in another 
country. We do not say that Mr. Johnson is an offender 
who deserved in any special degree to be made an example 


‘of; but this we do say, that certain letters sent out froin 


London to foreign and colonial papers are utterly dis- 
creditable both to the men who write them and to the editors 
who insert them. It almost staggers one to read some of 


these letters, Tattle of every sort, spiteful personalities b 
inuendo or unblushing misstatement, venomous imputation: 
on the motives of public men in their conduct of nationa 
affairs—all this farrago of nonsense is sent forth to hel 
foreigners or distant subjects of the Crown in forming thei 
opinions as to what goes on in England. It is evident tha 
many unscrupulous correspondents write under the convic. 
tion that the persons whom they attack will either never se 
their slanders, or will be unable to obtain redress for them 
it is, therefore, satisfactory to find the Lord Chief Justice 
ruling that the man who throws sticky newspaper pellets is 
not to be excused -because he took his aim from a distance, 


THE Lorps.——Whenever any doubt arises as to the 
fate of an important measure in the Upper House, the Lords 
are invariably warned that they are preparing for themselves 
a terrible day of reckoning. Much threatening language of 
this kind has been addressed to them lately. Mr. Herbert 
Gladstone declared the other day that “if the House of 
Lords was so indiscreet, to use no harsher word, as to throw 
out the Reform Bill, the immediate effect might be to start 
an agitation for the reform of that venerable institution ;” 
and, waxing eloquent as he went on, he expressed a hope 
that “the fiery cross of agitation would travel through the 
length and breadth of the land.” . Most politicians who talk 
in this way would probably be surprised if their words were 
taken seriously ; but it might be worth their while to consi- 
der whether, after all, they would profit much by what is 
called the reform of the House of Lords. The only way in 
which it would be possible to change the institution would 
be to give it a more directly representative character than it 
possesses at present. But even if this were done it would 
still be essentially Conservative ; and it would be able to 
exercise much greater power than it can venture to exercise 
now. Asv-hereditary legislators, the Lords are well aware 
that it would be dangerous to offer serious resistance to a 
really popular movement; and as a matter of fact they 
always give way when the will of the country is clearly 
expressed. Is it certain that an elected Second Chamber 
would be as compliant? The Senate of the United States 
resists the House of Representatives with a determination 
which our Upper House does not dare to manifest when 
it differs from the Commons ; and an English Senate, feeling 
that it had the support of its constituents (whoever they 
might be), would soon be equally courageous. There would 
then be an agitation, not for the reform, but for the abolition, 
of the Second Chamber ; and that would mean, if the agita- 
tion were successful, a formidable increase of the Conserva- 
tive elements in the only legislative assembly which would 


remain. 


SHIP-CANALS.——Canals, hitherto worsted by railway 
competition, are once more coming to the front. Ina more 
ambitious form, however, than Brindley or the Duke of 
Bridgwater ever dreamt of. The old species of canal was 
merely intended to accommodate the humble horse-drawn 
barge ; the modern species carries argosies on its surface, in 
the shape of mighty ocean-steamers. The Suez Canal, of 
course, set the fashion. Derided at first as impracticable, 
M. de Lesseps nevertheless made it, and gradually it became 
a grand commercial success. For the Western hemisphere, 
the Panama Canal is an equally important undertaking, and 
if its construction should be delayed, the failure will be due 
rather to financial or political difficulties than to engineering 
cbstacles. Isthmuses separating oceans so gigantic are 
nowhere to be found on the planet, except in Egypt and 
Colombia. Still engineers need not sigh vainly for new 
worlds to conquer: there is plenty of less ambitious though 
equally useful ship-canal work to be done. The Manchester 
Canal Bill has passed, and therefore there is a fair prospect 
that before long Cottonopolis will become a seaport. If the 
enterprise succeeds, it will probably be extended to Birming- 
ham, with branches to Bristol and London respectively. Such 
a steam-boat thoroughfare through the heart of the country 
would be a grand thing. Besides its commercial value for 
the shipment of goods without breaking bulk, it would com- 
mand a large pleasure traffic, and would be of great 
advantage for boating. Meanwhile, it is planned to join the 
North Sea with the Irish Sea by a cut through Durham and 
Cumberland ; to enable big ships to sail from the Forth to 
the Clyde ; and to make a maritime short cut to the Medi- 
terranean by uniting the Estuary of the Gironde with the sea 
at Narbonne. The year 1900 may see at least some of these 
feats accomplished. 


PLAGIARISM. —— Lord Tennyson’s amusing letter on 
plagiarism must have touched the consciences of some ot 
those “bookworms who are always grubbing for parallel 
passages.” It has been well said of plagiarism that it is 
difficult to define, but always easy to perceive. This very 
week the popular French novelist, Georges Ohnet, has had 
to rebut a charge of having borrowed the plot of a comedy 
“from a Swedish novel published in 1846.” His accuser 
was M. Henri Rochefort, who had not read the Swedish 
novel himself, and was not even able to allege that it had 
been translated into French. There is a great deal too 
much of this loose imputation of literary dishonesty ; and 
theatrical critics especially seem to glory in convicting a 
playwright of using a “ situation” that has dene duty before. 


A dramatist would now hardly dare put a stuttering noble-

age lest he should be told that he had copied 
and we may suppose that the race of 
comic legal dignitaries has become extinct since Jolanthe. 
Plagiarism may be a very ugly offence indeed ; but we all 
pretty well know when a man has deliberately sat down to 
“ ynmark another's linen,” as they say abroad. The 
operation is at best a troublesome one, and it has become 
too risky in these days of ubiquitous research to be under- 
taken by any but very. silly men. The difficulty of the 
modern writer is rather to guard against coincidences. In 
ringing the changes ‘upon the only story that is acceptable 
in a play or novel—the old, old story of love and marriage 
—an author must be imaginative indeed if he does 
not strike some note that has sounded under other hands 
before.

Tue Queen has signified her approval of the bestowal of the 
decoration of the Victoria Cross on the following persons :— 

At the Battle of El Teb on February 29, CarTaIn ARTHUR 
KNYVET WILSON, R.N., on the staff of Sir William Hewett, 
attached himself during the advance to the right half battery, Naval 
Brigade, in the place of Lieutenant Royds, who was mortally 
wounded, Suddenly the Arabs sprang out upon the detachment 
who were dragging the Gardner gun, whereupon Captain Wilson 
sprang to the iront, and engaged in single combat with some of the 
enemy, knocking them down with his fists, and thus protecting his 
detachment until assistance arrived. He was wounded, but remained 
with the half-battery during the day. Captain Wilson is the third 
son of the late Admiral G. Knyvet Wilson, who in his day had the 
reputation of being an excellent and most resolute swordsman. 

LIEUTENANT PERCIVAL SCROPE MARLING, 3rd Battalion King’s 
Royal Rifle Corps, late Mounted Infantry, entered the army in 1850, 
served in the Boer War of 1881, and the Egyptian Campaign of 
1882. He has been awarded the Cross for the following action. 
At the Battle of Tamasi, on March 13, Private Morley, Royal 
Sussex Regiment, having been shot, was lifted up by Lieutenant 
Marling, and placed in front of him on his horse. The wounded 
man, however, fell off, whereupon the Lieutenant gave up his horse 
for the purpose of carrying him to a place of comparative safety. 

During the cavalry charge at El Teb, on the 2gth February last, 
Lieutenant-Colonel Barrow was in a position of great peril. He 
had been severely wounded, his horse was killed, and he was on the 
ground surrounded by the enemy, when QUARTERMASTER-SER- 
GEANT WILLIAM MARSHALL, who stayed behind with him, saved 
him from imminent death by seizing his hand, and dragging him 
through the enemy back to his regiment. 

Of Private THomas Epwaxps, Ist Battalion Royal High- 
landers, the fourth recipient of this enviable decoration, no portrait 
has reached us, but his services equally deserve to be recorded. 
Private Edwards, who was attached to the Naval Brigade as mule- 
driver during the Battle of Tamasi, was beside the gun with 
Lieutenant Almack, R.N., and a blue-jacket. Both the latter were 
killed, and Edwards, after bayoneting two Arabs, and himself 
receiving a wound with a spear, rejoined the ranks with his mules, 
and subsequently did good service by remaining with his -gun 
throughout the action. ‘ 

Our portraits are from photographs as follows :—Captain Wilson 
by West and Son, Gosport ; Lieutenant Marling by Elliott and 
Fry, Baker Street; and Quartermaster Sergeant Marshall by P. 
Sebah, Cairo. 


ACHEEN 


THE little country which occupies the northernmost portion of the 
great island of Sumatra has, during the past fifteen years or so, given 
an immense amount of trouble to the Dutch, the European Power 
claiming possession of the island. 

Since their first discovery by Europeans, very early in the 
sixteenth century, the Achenese have been known as an aggressive, 
pugnacious race, and they have always borne an evil reputation in 
the matter of piracy. Naturally warlike and independent, they 
have never brooked control ; and, when the Portuguese were in 
possession of Malacca, the Achenese actually went so far as tosend, 
on several occasions, enormous fleets of war’ fvahzs to attack the 
place. The interior of the country is very rich and fertile, and in the 
southern part pepper is a staple produce, and it is for this article that 
possession of the country is chiefly valued. As the people proved so 
intractable, the Dutch would doubtless have preferred to have let 
them alone; but their frequent acts of piracy culminating at last 
in anattack upon an American ship, it becamean absolute necessity 
to dosomething. Thus, war was made in 1873, and, incredible as it 
must appear, has been going on ever since, at the cost of many thou- 
sands of human lives, and millions upon millions of guilders, the 
whole of the surplus, which used to be annually transferred from the 
Dutch Indies to Holland, being entirely absorbed. The progress 
made by the Dutch in their conquest has been so slow that, with some 
ofthe Rajahs, a feeling of contempt has been engendered. — 

Ithas always been felt it would be a very dangerous thing for any 
vessel, of whatever nationality, to become wrecked upon the coast. 
This unfortunate incident actually happened some months since, the 
Nisero, an English vessel, running ashore on the coast of the territory 
of the Rajah of Tenom, one of the most inveterate of the foes of the 
Dutch, and one of the most free to work harm, the warlike opera- 
tions of the invaders not affecting his immediate possessions. He is, 
after all, but a petty potentate, of whom English troops would 
soon make mincemeat ; but he is quite strong enough to hold the 
Dutch in contempt. He took the crew prisoners, against a ransom ; 
but allowed the captain and others te go for the purpose of obtaining 
it. The Dutch have made one attempt to rescue, the result being 
the retirement of the Rajah, with his captives, farther inland. 

The men are, or rather were, for one is dead, twenty-seven in number 
and it seems doubtful whether they will ever see their homes again. 
Meanwhile the Rajah of Tenom has appealed to England against 
the injustice which he asserts he has suffered froin the Dutch, and 
Lord Granville has accordingly offered British mediation between 
the Dutch Government in Acheen and the Malay chiefs. At 
the same time it would be as well to procure from the Dutch some 
guarantee that the coast of their enormous possessions in the East 
shall be better protected in the future, for at present the greater 
portion of them are extremely insecure, owing to the utter inability 


of Holland to cope with her duty in this respect. She is a hen with 
by far too many chickens.—Our sketches are from photographs by 
Woodbury and Page, Java. 


DRAWING MONEY IN A GALE 


THE operation of drawing money, or *‘ dollars,” as man-o’-war’s 
men prefer to call it, seems prosaic enough, yet, like most things, it 
has its picturesque side. This is especially the case in bad 
weather, when damp, discomfort, and even danger may attend the 
process. Fortland, where our scene is laid, is famous for its rough 
weather, and at the time when these sketches were taken the wind 
had for niné-days been blowing violently-from all the points of the 
compass in succession. ‘ 

As the drawing of the money necessarily precedes its distribution 
among the various persons to whom it is due, the function is invested: 
with considerable popular interest. When a paymaster, a corporal, 
and‘ a file of marines appear with the bag, which, by the way, 
whether the weather be fair or foul, is invariably buoyed for recovery 
in case of accidents, various ancient jokes are cut, such as, ‘‘Jim, a 
little of that sort of stuff would just suit your complaint.” ‘I 
believe yer, shouldn’t work no more, but live here” (this is spoken 
at the tavern door) “‘ like a gentleman.” 

One of the scenes is laid in the Camber shelter house, where 
there chances to be a gang of convicts knocked off from pile-driving, 
&c., dressed in faded jackets, striped pale blue and red. Two 
Civil Guards are present, dressed in blue, with short Snider rifles 
and long bayonets,’ while a body. of marines are grimly guarding 
the specie. Another sketch represents the securing of the buoy 
rope to the bag, and the getting of the bag into the boat. Next 
comes the operation of getting it on board the vessel under the 
superintendence of the quartermaster. Two side-boys stand outside 
the ports, and generally seem anxious to avoid having their toes 
hooked, as hooking irons are placed closely adjacent. The landing 
at the foot of the ladder being grated, the seas strike up through it 
in ee The last illustration shows the “ safe.” with the money 
inside, 


“THE CYCLIST IN DANGER” 


SINCE the art of velocipeding (if we may use that old-fashioned 
word) became popular it is not unusual to see in hilly parts of the 
country a placard affixed to a wall or tree, bearing an inscription to 
the following effect :—‘‘ Notice to Cyclists. —This hill is dangerous.” 
The advantage of such notifications is obvious in cases where a hill 
begins to descend with a very gentle slope which afterwards becomes 
dangerously steep. 

No warning of this kind appears to have been addressed to the 
hero of Mr, Gunston’s picture, and he is accordingly in imminent 
danger. He is at the top of a slope, and who knows whither it 
may lead him? But for the nonce he has ceased to be a cyclist, 
and is merelya man, He has left his machine reclining against a 
tree, and his hand, which is usually occupied with the guiding- 
handle, is apparently engaged in ascertaining the circumference of a 
young lady’s waist. How will the adventure end? Will it be for 
wheel or woe? : 


THE MILLET-ROUSSEAU MEMORIAL AT BARBIZON 


On April 14th—Easter Monday—the little village of Barbizon was 
the scene of the unveiling of a monument to two of thegreatest of 
modern French painters, who will ever be identified with that 
little colony of artists who make Fontainebleau forest their summer 
home and studio. There for many years worked Jean Francois 
Millet, first amid. the most grinding poverty, ever cheered 
and assisted by his friend Theodore Rousseau, and there both the 
friends died—their talent at length recognised and rewarded by their 


- countrymen, though in.the case of Millet, only when broken down 


in health and unable to enjoy the fruits of prosperity. ‘Theodore 
Rousseau, whose landscapes, with those of Millet, may be said to 
have marked a new era in French landscape painting, died in 1867, and 
eight years after Millet breathed his last. As 2 contemporary writer 
remarked at the time of his death, Millet was the strongest and most 
individual of the modern school of French landscape painters, and 
his art gave the highest expression to that kind of interpretation of 
Nature which aims at something more than the realisation of out- 
ward beauty. Theson of a peasant, with all the technical know- 
ledge of a peasant’s life and colour such as no other artist possessed, 
Millet’s art may be said to have been representative rather of the 
hardships than of the ideal happiness and pleasures of the sons of the 
soil, and there is always an element of sadness, and even of loneli- 
ness in the treatment of his subjects. 

Of Theodore Rousseau we need hardly speak at length, but we may 
quote what Edmond About wrote of him in the year he died :—‘‘ For 
twenty-five years Rousseau has been the apostle of truth in land- 
scape. He mace a breach in the wall of the historic school, which 
had lost the habit of regarding Nature, and servilely copied the bad 
copyists of Poussin. This audacious innovator opened an enormous 
door by which many others have followed him. He emancipated 
the landscape painters as Moses formerly liberated the Hebrews, 
‘in exitu Israel de Egypto.’ He led them into a Land of Promise 
where the trees had leaves, where the rivers were liquid, where the 
animals were not of wood.” 

Our engraving is from a photograph by M. Bodmer, of Barbizon, 
and represents the monument, a bas-relief, sculptured in marble by 
Chapu, and placed in a solid rock near the Barbizon entrance to the 
Fontainebleau forest. 


THE ANNIVERSARY ENTERTAINMENT AT THE 
ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR GIRLS, 
BATTERSEA RISE 


THE Royal Masonic Institution for Girls last Monday week held 
its anniversary entertainment, presided over by the Baroness Burdett 
Coutts, who, in her usual kindly manner, also distributed the prizes 
gained during the past year. 

The large hall of the Institution was quite filled with ‘ladies and 
Brethren,” who were evidently much delighted with the music and 
recitations given by the girls. The trios (thirty-six hands) and the 
duets (twenty-four hands) on six pianos, and Haydn’s ‘‘ Toy 
Symphony,” were rendered with wonderful precision, indeed all the 
pieces gave evidence of the most careful training. 

The recitations, too, were very good, the longest being ‘* The 
Marriage Among the Flowers,” illustrated with a fragrant heap of 


‘ spoils from the garden and greenhouse.

Tue LONDON ARTISTIC AND LITERARY SOCIETY (offices, 376, 
Strand), of which the Earl of Belfast is the new president, held 
their thirty-fourth monthly covversastone, at the St. James’s Ban- 
queting Hall, on the evening of May 23rd. First, His Highness 
the Rajah Rampal Sing gave an interesting lecture on “ India.” 
Then followed an excellent concert; then the Rev. J. McCann, 
D.D., lectured on ‘Taste in Relation to Art,” and, lastly, the 
entertainment concluded with a dance, the company not dispersing 
till long after daylight. ; 


THe Srare APARTMENTS at Windsor Castle were. reopened to 
the public on Thursday, 

AT a meeting of graduates and undergraduates of the University 
of Cambridge, held on Saturday, under the presidency of Professor 
Seeley, to. promote co-operation with the Oxford men, who are 
establishing a lay-mission in the East of London, as previously 
recorded in our columns, Prince Albert Victor made a_ brief, 
interesting, and much-applauded speech. He spoke of the help 
promised to the poor of the East End by members of the Universities 
as blessing not only him who gives, but him who receives; and of 
the work done there as inducing sympathies, and opening up a 
broader view of life to those engaged in it, than it is possible to 
obtain while living at the West End. They must all see, his Royal 
Highness said, nothing to be more necessary for building up a 
healthy commonwealth than that all classes or parties, whether 
political or religious, should join together in the attempt to better, 
not only each other, but the whole. 

On Fripay last week Lord Granville unveiled, in Westminster 
Abbey, Mr. Boehm’s memorial statue of Lord Stratford de 
Redcliffe, erected by a subscription, of which the Prince of Wales 
and the Duke of Cambridge were the leading promoters. To the 
prose inscription on the pedestal Lord Tennyson has added some 
lines of appropriate verse. 

THE WELLINGTON STATUE is being taken to pieces for 
removal to Aldershot. Over the head was found a starling’s nest of 
twigs. ; 

LorD CARNARVON has offered to receive at his bankers, the 
Messrs. Drummond, contributions to promote a well-regulated emi- 
gration from the East End, undertaking to pay them over, in the first 
instance, to the East End Emigration Fund and the East London 
Family Emigration Fund—organisations which he describes as doing 
an excellent work, and on the broadest grounds. 

SPEAKING ON WEDNESDAY at a public meeting convoked by 
the Marylebone Conservative Union, and presided over by Lord 
John Manners, Sir Stafford Northcote contrasted the acts with the 
promises of what when it came into office was to be called the 
Government of Great Expectations. Referring specially to the 
increase in the national expenditure, he complained that the Govern- 
ment had refused the inquiry into its causes asked for economists on 
the Ministerial side of the House and supported by himself. Instead 
of bringing forward the measures of improvement, local and 
imperial, of which they had hoasted, the Ministers thought it 
necessary to reconstruct their Parliamentary machinery. He objected 
to the upsetting of a great system unless we knew what was to be 
put in its place, but the Government had taken care not to tell us 
what they had behind. After reviewing the march of events in 
Egypt he described General Gordon as looking in vain for help from 
the country which he had gone out to serve. Remarking that it is 
in the power of England, as it is her duty, to maintain her position 
in the eyes of the world, Sir Stafford Northcote significantly added 
that if we flinched from that duty we should have jealous rivalries 
and animosities abroad, and that something worse would grow out 
of them. 

Lorp TENNYSON has accepted the Presidency of the Incorporated 
Society of Authors. 

THE SPEAKER received an enthusiastic welcome when visiting 
on Wednesday his home at Sandy, for the first time after his 
election. At the dinner following the public reception, Mr. Peel 
said that since 1450 the small county of Bedford had given six 
Speakers to the House of Commons, 

Sir Cuar.es DILKE, presiding and speaking at a crowded 
public meeting in Kensington Town Hall in support of the London 
Government Bill, contested Lord Salisbury’s assertion that it was as 
irrational to place the various districts of the metropolis under one 
authority as it would be so to deal with the great Lancashire towns 
surrounding Manchester. He contended that for a number of 
objects, such as those carried out by the Metropolitan Board of 
Works, London and its suburbs had already unity of government. 
A resolution approving of the Bill was carried by a large majority, 
but the minority was numerous, and vehement enough to disturb 
considerably the harmony of the proceedings. 

Tue HicHLAND LanpD Law ReEForM AssocraTIon adhere to 
their statement that nearly 200 heads of families and others are 
threatened with eviction for having either given evidence before 
the Crofters Commission or for joining their organisation, The 
London Executive of the Association are accordingly raising a 
Defence and Relief Fund to protect and aid’ the threatened crofters 
and cottars, : 

PRESIDING AT THE ANNUAL DINNER of the Artists’ Benevolent 
Institution, Lord Wolseley spoke of the Army as steadily improving, 
and expressed a hope that some day there would be a tie between the 
Volunteers and Army similar to that which now existed between the 
Army and the Militia, Sir F. Leighton responded to the toast of 
“The Academy.” The subscriptions of the evening, it was 
announced, amounted to 1,376/, Last year 3,9612 had been spent 
in relieving 169 applicants. ‘Ihe working expenses for the year 
were only 3252, . 

AY THE ANNIVERSARY MEETING of the Royal Geographical 
Society, on Monday, the president, Lord Aberdare, gave the usual 
review of the geographical explorations of the year. One of the 
most interesting of his statements was that the Rev. Mr. Chalmers 
(a Nonconformist missionary), had added to his former discoveries 
in New Guinea that of the delta of a large river, occupied by a 
tribe of cannibals, 140 miles north-west of Port Moresby. 4 

PHOTOGRAPHS OF CARLYLE and his birthplace, with relics of 
him, such as his easy chair, one of his writing-tables, and bookcases, 
have been placed in the house at Ecclefechan in which he was born, 
and which has been purchased by his niece and companion of his 
later years, Mrs. Alexander Aitken Carlyle. ; 

Tur OBITUARY OF THE WEEK includes the death of Admiral 
Glasse, who served in successive wars from that against the 
Burmese in 1825 to that against Russia in 1854-5, in his seventy- 
eighth year ; of Lieutenant General Lynch, of Her Majesty's 
Indian Army, who distinguished himself in the military operations 
in Persia under General Bethune, and was employed politically in 
the Afghan War of 1840-1, at the age of seventy-five ; of Sir 
William Brown, formerly Accountant-General in the War Hae 
ment, in his seventy-second year; of Mr. Robert Sellar, of 
Huntly, the eminent agricultural implement | maker, whose name is 
widely known through the Sellar Ploughs which he invented, at 
the age of sixty-three ; of Mr. ‘I. T. de Lasaux, for saiy font 
years Coroner for East Kent, at the age of eighty-seven 5 of the 
tev. A. M. Wales, one of ‘the oldest clergymen of the Church of 
England, who, at his. death had been. Vicar of Sunning- 
hill, Berks, for upwards of fifty-three years, at the age of eighty- 
seven; and of Jane, Lady Dukinheld, widow of the Rev. Sir H. 
Dukinfield, Prebendary of Salisbury. Lady Dukinfield was present 
at the famous ball in Brussels the night before the Battle of 
Waterloo, in which her brother was killed at the head of his company.

LONDON IN 1584 AND 1884 


TuE large bird’s-eye view of London which we publish has been 
compiled and worked ont by sketches taken from Nature. The 
general idea of the drawing was derived from a sketch taken from a 
balloon by one of our artists, Owing, however, to the rate at 
which the balloon passed over London it was found impossible to 
obtain sufficient detail. But this want has been supplied by sketches 
taken from the Victoria Tower, Westminster Abbey, the Shot 
‘Towers, and the top of a house at Westminster. Fortunately during 
the May and June of last year the weather was singularly clear and 
well adapted forthe purpose. On the 22nd of May the whole valley of 
the Thames as far as Woolwich was visible from the towers of 
Westminster Abbey at two o’clock in the afternoon ; the shipping 
in the docks, the various buildings of the City, and even the distant 
heights of Erith told out sharp and distinct. ‘ 

When looking down upon London from a great height the effect 
of the smoke is most remarkable. Sudden gusts of wind carry it 
away from one point and pile it up in great columns over others, 

’ leaving some places perfectly clear, but thoroughly obscuring others. 
The rays of the sun also seem to pierce these great cumulus masses 
in a most strange and almost eccentric manner, such as it would be 
impossible to imagine or represent without careful studies and 
memoranda made from Nature. 

Our view is taken from a point 1,400 feet above Brewer’s Row, 
James Street. In the immediate foreground are seen the towers of 
the Aquarium, the Westminster Crimean Column, Dean’s Yard, 
Great College Street, Westminster Hospital, Her Majesty’s 
Stationery Office, Westminster Guildhall, Great George Street, the 
Foreign Office, the Horse Guards, and part of St. James’s Park. 
Towards the centre is Westminster Abbey, with the Deanery and 
College buildings, This portion of the view still presents, when 
seen from a height, quite a suburban appearance, on account of the 
trees and gardens which abound in the neighbourhood. Beyond 
Westminster Abbey rises the Palace of Westminster, or the Houses 
of Parliament, crowned by a magnificent group of towers and spires. 
Whitehall and Parliament Street extend to the left, the Charing 
Cross Railway Station and the incomplete building of the Hotel 
Metropole complete the picture to its extreme left. The river is 
seen winding away towards the City, beneath its various bridges, 
passing the noble facade of Somerset House, the towers of the New 
Law Courts, the Temple, and the new City of London School, 
beyond which rises the stately dome of St. Paul’s, surrounded by 
countless spires, which the great genius of Sir Christopher Wren 
designed in such a manner as to enhance the grandeur and magni- 
ficence of the vast cathedral. The river is seen winding away past 
the Tower and Docks, until it is lost in mazy windings beyond 
Greenwich and Woolwich. On the Surrey side of the river 
Lambeth Palace and Church terminate the view to the right, while 
more towards the centre rises the tower of Mr. Newman Hall’s 
church, beyond which are seen St. George’s Roman Catholic 
Cathedral, Bethlehem Hospital, and the Blind School, while further 
to the left is the huge station of the South-Western Railway. 

It is interesting to compare this view with a smaller one which 
we publish, representing London from the same point of view 
exactly three centuries ago. Some notion of the growth of the southern 
and eastern portions of the metropolis may be gained from this 
comparison. Our smaller view, we should mention, is compiled. 
from ancient maps and views of London, chiefly those by Aggas, 
Norden, Hollar, &c., compared with descriptions given by Stowe, 
Speed, and other writers, Old London Bridge covered with houses, 
the City with its numerous churches, and the old Gothic Cathedral 
of St. Paul, with its great centre tower, are seen in the distance. 

Old St. Panl’s was the longest church in Europe and the largest 
in England, and in point of superficial area it was alone surpassed 
by St. Peter’s, Rome, Cologne, Milan, and Seville Cathedrals. It 
formerly possessed also the loftiest spire in the world, but this was 
destroyed by lightning in 1560. 

The space between the City and Westminster shows great and 
numerous changes. Instead of continuous, closely-built streets, in 
1583 it was quite suburban in character, and consisted of a succes- 
sion of houses inhabited by the nobility, with large gardens, those 
on the south side of the Strand extending to the Thames, with 
which they were connected by water-gates and steps, Amongst 
these houses and palaces we may mention Bridewell ; a large Royal 
palace, Arundel House, part of the site of which is now occupied 
by The Graphic office; Somerset House, which had been erected 
a few years earlier by Protector Somerset ; the Savoy Palace, of 
which now the chapel alone remains ; Durham House, Vork Place, 
and Northumberland House, the last which survived of all these 
noble residences. Passing Charing Cross we find Scotland Yard, 
where was the residence of the King of Scotland when he came to 
London to do homage to his brother of England. Close adjoining 
is Whitehall, which presented a totally different appearance to what 
it does now, That singularly over-rated building the Banqueting 
House had not yet been erected. ‘The palace, however, surrounded 
three large courts, one of which contained a splendid hall and 
chapel. To the west was a great garden, called the “ Privy 
Garden,” through which ran a stream which here joined the Thames. 
Parliament Street had no existence. At Whitehall were two large 
gates, which it was necessary to pass through in order to approach 
Westminster ; the first of these gates was a very beautiful structure, 
adorned with busts, and called ‘“ Holbein’s Gateway.” About a 
hundred yards further on was a second gate, passing which one 
entered King Street, and a few steps beyond this the 
road crossed over the branch of the Thames which separated 
London from Westminster ; the bridge here, built by the Empress 
Matilda, was the first stone bridge erected in England. Before 
her time Westminster could only be approached by aboat. A little 
beyond this bridge, on the left, or east side of the street, was the 
lofty gateway, erected by Richard III., called the “ High Tower,” 
which formed the principal approach to the ancient Palace of West- 
minster ; and a few yards farther on, the street was brought to an 
abrupt termination by the gate of the little Sanctuary of West- 
minster Abbey. Passing through Richard III.’s lofty tower, one 
was in ‘‘New Palace Yard,” then the veritable court-yard of a 
Royal Palace. On the right was another gate leading to St. 
Margaret Street, a range of old buildings, and the front of West- 
minster Hall. On the left were a series of gabled houses and the 
lofty Clock Tower, while facing the spectator were the Exchequer, 
Star Chamber Buildings, and the ‘* Water Gate ” leading to a pier 
on the site of Westminster Bridge. Upon the site of the Old Law 
Courts were several buildings, three of which were known as 
Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. Another gate, crossing the road 
from St. Margaret’s Church, to the end of Westminster Hall, gave 
admission to ** Old Palace Yard,” which was entirely surrounded by 
buildings, and closed in’ by gates. On the west was Westminster 
Abbey, and the very ancient Chapel of St. Catherine, with its lofty 
bell tower, erected by Akbot Litilington.* On the opposite side 
of the court were the most ancient portions of the Palace—amongst 
them the splendid Collegiate Chapel of St. Stephen, handed over 
by Henry VIII. for the meetings of the House of Commons. It 
was rebuilt by Edward ITI., and was the most sumptuous ecclesiastical 
edifice in this country—containing the “ White Hall,” the ‘* House 
of Lords,” the ‘‘ Painted,” ‘* Princes’ ” Chambers, and other offices 
of the Palace. On the south side of the court wasa gallery connect- 
ing the Palace with the Abbey, and a gate leading to the ‘* Mill 
Wall,” so called from the Abbey Mill, which stood close by. 

* The ruins of this chapel were pulled a . 
drawing of them was published in The Crop ae en peas Cesoany g 


THE GRAPHIC 


i o the “Sanctuary Gate,” and passing through it, we 
cece into a large open space, in the midst of which is an 
immense tower, which, according to Stowe, was a the Clockhard ” 
erected by Edward ITI. as the bell tower to St. Stephen’s Chapel. 
It contained three great bells, which were rung at coronations, 
Royal baptisms, &c. They do:not, however, appear to have been 
very harmonious, as the old chronicler tells us, that 4 Of. those 
bels men fabuled that their ringing soured all the drinke in the 
towne.” In addition to a belfry, this tower appears to have con- 
tained two churches, one of which was, according to Strype, dedi- 
cated to the ‘‘ Holy Innocents.” ee 

It is probable, notwithstanding what Stowe says, that this build- 
ing was really the Bell Tower of Westminster Abbey, because St. 
Stephen’s Chapel had its own bell tower, which adjoined the east 
side of Westminster Hall, whereas Westminster Abbey had no 
towers before the eighteenth century, and it is difficult to say where 
its bells could have been hung, if not in this ‘*Clockhard.” 
Maitland, who saw the remains of this remarkable structure in the 
reign of George II., when it had been converted into a pudlie house! 
describes it as measuring 72 feet on each side, and having walls 25 
feet thick at the base! The whole of the buildings of the Abbey 
were enclosed within strong walls, 

It will be seen by comparing our two drawings that there are a 
number of streams and water-courses shown in the earlier, which 
have quite disappeared in Modern London. Amongst these were the 
Wallbrook, which, rising to the north of Moorfields, flowed 
through the City, passing under the Poultry, and entered the 
Thames at Dowgate ; ‘‘ Fleet River,” which flowed down Farringdon 
Street, joining the Thames near to Blackfriars Bridge, and giving a 
name to “Fleet” Street ; andthe arm of the Thames, which, according 
to Smith and some earlier writers, converted Westminster into an 
island. This stream ran from the Thames a little south of Victoria 
Tower, where it turned the Abbey Mill, passing along Great College 
Street, at the end of which it bent off suddenly to the south, cross- 
ing Victoria and Tothill Streets, in front of the Abbey, close to 
where now stands the Westminster Aquarium. It then ran along 
Princes Street and Great George Street, where it received the title 
of “the Long Ditch.” It then turned off to the east, and, crossing 
King Street under the Empress Matilda’s Bridge, joined the 
Thames again at Cannon Row, close to Westminster Bridge Steam- 
boat Pier. Mr. Loftie says that these streams were two of the 
outlets of the Tybourne, which entered the Thames at Westminster 
by several courses; and he appears to think that the “Long 
Ditch” was.an artificial cutting. As Mr. Loftie has given great 
care to the study of the ‘‘Site of London,” he is, in all 
probability, correct. * 

Great, however, as are the contrasts represented in our two 
drawings between Ancient and Modern London and Westminster, 
they are as nothing when compared to the transformation which the 
opposite bank of the Thames has undergone, Where is now a 
densely-inhabited network of uninteresting streets, with shot towers, 
factory chimneys, timber yards, railway stations, industry, toil, soot, 
and dirt, nothing is to be seen in our smaller drawing but fields and 
marshes, intersected in every direction by streams and water- 
courses, with here and there a cottage or farm-house, until the eye 
reaches the Borough, where the grand old Priory Church of St. 
Saviour’s, and towers of a few churches, break the outline of the 
long, straggling street. Close by is Winchester House, the 
splendid residence of the Bishop of Winchester, with its noble park, 
and a little in front of it is seen the Globe Theatre, where Shake- 
speare performed his own plays. Beyond Southwark again all was 
open country, dotted over by the pretty villages of Bermondsey, 
Rotherhithe, Deptford, and Greenwich, H. W. Brewer 

Notre,—As this is one of the largest wood-engravings ever issued 
by a newspaper, a few notes respecting it may be of interest. ‘Ihe 
boxwood block is in eighty-eight pieces, united by brass bolts. By 
unscrewing and placing these in the hands of a similar number of 
engravers, our engraving could have been executed in one day, had 
it been necessary. Thirty-eight were, however, actually employed, 
rather less than half of whom were members of Ze Graphic School of 
Engraving. While prying about for some architectural detail, 
with a black bag, a folding easel, and a map marked 
with suspicious red lines and crosses, Mr. Brewer was arrested as a 
possible Fenian outside the Honses of Parliament. Afterwards, 
on the Victoria Tower, the wind tore an elaborate sketch out of his 
hands, and whirled it away to the south. And he received a third 
slight shock when the plate was printed : weeks spent in reversing 
London on the wood causing him for a moment to believe that 
St. Paul’s should have been on the south side of the Thames. But 
accident has supplied some consolation in the fact, that the point 
of sight finally selected is some 1,400 féet above a spot known as 
“Brewer's Row.” In order to obtain the requisite number of 
impressions, four electrotypes had to be taken ; but as the bath only 
accommodates moulds one-fourth the size of this block, it was neces- 
sary to do it by quarters, which were afterwards soldered together. 


Messrs. JoNES AND HERMAN’S Chatterton, in which Mr, Wilson 
Barrett appeared at a matinde performance at the PRINCEsS’s 
Theatre last week, is a curious attempt to invest with dramatic 
interest the almost bare incident of a youthful poet’s suicide. Of 
the moral beauty which might atone for lack of story (we are not 
speaking of literary power), there is little to be discerned either in 
the egotistical speeches with which the authors have provided their 
hero, or_in the unhappy history of the Bristol boy’s life. Mr. 
Wilson Barrett’s tailings at the cold indifference of a cruel world 
to the paramount claims of genius only cease to appear absurd when 
we banish the recollection of what is known of Chatterton’s brief 
literary career. Clearly he could not reasonably complain that his 
great powers had not been recognised in the so-called “* Rowley 
Poems,” for these he protested even to his dying hour that he had 
simply found in the muniment chest of the Church of St. Mary Red- 
clifle. What remains of Chatterton’s productions is interesting only 
for the Precocious talent which it displays. Coarse and scurrilous 
satires, verses which express conventional sentiment in a conven- 
tional fashion, and Juvenile imitations of Junius’s political invectives 
written because such productions were at that time a saleable 
commodily—such are the bulk of his acknowledged writings. 
Weighty excuses for his faults there undoubtedly are, and pity for 
his untimely end is a natural feeling ; but it is hard to make a hero 
out of a young gentleman who in private letters expressed his con- 
tempt for a political writer unable to “ write on both sides,” and 
who did not scruple to purloin stories and articles from old maga- 
zines, and to palm them off upon editors as his own. But it 


may be said that the dramatists have presented to us an ideal | 


Chatterton ; and it has been urged by one of the most distinguished 
of our dramatic critics that there is a moral beauty in the picture of 
hunger, despair, and wounded pride—a poetical charm in the 
business of the poison draught which entitles the little drama to 
rank with Ze Passant of M, Francois Coppée and other dramatic

sketches, in which the comedians of the Thédtre Francais have fired 
the imaginations and touched the hearts of audiences in spite 
of a lack of action and design, Whether this be so we must 
leave those who were present at the performance last week, or who 
will witness its repetition this afternoon, to judge. For ourselves, 
we must confess that we find little in the scene in the Brooke Street 
garret beyond a repulsive incident garnished with eloquent diction, 
which even the passionate energy of Mr. Wilson Barrett’s acting 
fails to make really pathetic. . 

The revival at the ComEDY of Audran’s melodious opera Za 
Mascotte is likely to prove very successful. Mr. Arthur Roberts is 
a genuine humorist, and makes an admirable Duke of Piombino, 
while Miss Florence St. John looked, acted, and sang charmingly 
as the Mascotte. Mr. Gaillard as Pippo, the shepherd, Mr, Walsham 
as the Dundreary-like young Prince of Pisa, and Mr. Kelleher as 
the distressed farmer who becomes Court Chamberlain, were all in 
their several ways excellent. In the dancing of Miss Ada Wilson 
there is a native grace and simplicity, combined with an absence of 
the conventional terpsichorean smirks and smiles, which recals Miss 
Kate Vaughan. ’ 

Whitsuntide has never ranked with Easter as a season of dramatic 
novelties, for the simple reason that it comes nearer to the time 
when trips out of town are more attractive than crowded play- 
houses. Nevertheless, there are on this occasion some dramatic 
events to be chronicled. On Thursday—too late unfortunately for 
detailed notice in our columns—the late Mr. Robertson’s long- 
forgotten comedy of P/ay was revived at the CouRT ‘Theatre. At 
the AveNuE, the revival of Mr. James Mortimer’s version of 
La Petite Fadette has served to exhibit the remarkable talents 
of Miss Lydia Cowell in the part of the wayward, elfish, but 
tender and thoughtful heroine of Georges Sand’s delightful 
idyll. On Monday, at the HoLporn Theatre, a dramatic 
version of Adam Bede will be played for the first time by Mr. 
George Rignold and his company; and on the same evening Our 
Boys will be revived at the STRAND’ Theatre, with Mr. David 
James in his old part of the immortal butterman, On Friday last Mr. 
Lawrence Barrett was to make his farewell appearance at the LyceuM 
in Vorich’s Love, and this evening (Saturday) occurs the dramatic 
event of the week, the reappearance of Mr. Irving, Miss Ellen Terry, 
and the rest of the company of the Lyceum in their old home. 
It is true that they have chosen for the occasion nothing more novel 
than Aftch Ado About Nothing, with its splendid setting; but this 
will assuredly not prevent a magnificent welcome being accorded 
to them after their long absence in the New World. 

The four hundredth and final representation of Mr. Charles Du 
Val’s Monologue took place on Wednesday at St, James’s Hall. A 
complimentary benefit performance will take place in the St. James’s 
Hall in the middle of June, when a large number of the leading 
lights of the theatrical and musical professions have promised 


to assist,

THE Famous LEGEND OF THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN is 
regarded as such a reality in Germany, that Hamelin intends next 
month to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the day on which, says 
tradition, the rat-catcher, cheated of his just dues, charmed away 
all the children of the town by the strains of his flute. 

Kine Louis or Bavaria’s private operatic performances are 
expensive amusements which few sovereigns can afford. The 
cost of bringing the best singers from all parts, and of providing 
the most elaborate scenery, amounts to some 2,000/, for each repre- 
sentation—aill for the benefit of one solitary, invisible spectator. 

THE SOUTH KENSINGTON Museum will shortly receive a 
splendid Cruikshank collection, presented by the widow. There 
are some 3,000 works of the late George Cruikshank, including the 
water-colour originals of his etchings and special Copies of his 
engravings, etchings, and coloured caricatures bearing his auto- 
graphs, the whole fully illustrating the artist’s career of over seventy 
years. Another interesting addition to the Museum will be Lady 
Charlotte Schreiber’s collection of English porcelain, pottery, and 
Battersea enamels. 

LONDON Mortatiry still further declined last week, and 1,427 
deaths were registered, against 1,536 during the previous seven 
days, a decrease of 109, being 114 below the average, and at the 
rate of 18°5 per 1,000, a lower rate than in any previors week this 
year. These deaths included 17 from small-pox (a fall of 13), 81 
from measles (a decline of 1), 25 from scarlet fever (a decrease of 
6), 19 from diphtheria (a rise of 8), 92 from whooping-cough (a 
fall of 15), 1 from typhus fever, rr from enteric fever, 3 from ill- 
defined forms of continued fever (a rise of 2), 17 from diarrhea 
and dysentery (an increase of 8), and 2 from simple cholera. 
Deaths referred to diseases of the respiratory organs numbered 261 
against 295 the previous week), and were 27 below the average. 
Different forms of violence caused 63 deaths: 5% were the result 
of negligence or accident, among which were 22 from fractures and 
contusions, 7 from burns and scalds, 12 from drowning, and 7 of 
infants under one year of age from suffocation, Ten cases of 
suicide were registered, There were 2,627 births registered against 
2,556 during the previous week. The mean temperature of the air 
was 56°9 deg., and 2 deg. above the average. 

M. MEISSONNIER is the hero of the hour in Paris, thanks to the 
exhibition of his works now attracting all the fashionable world, 
and the journals teem with details of his artistic career, his domestic 
life, and his studios, In Paris he lives in the midst of the Art 
colony on the Boulevard Malesherbes, where his house is arranged 
in the Spanish-Moresque style, but he prefers to do his most impor- 
tant work in his sali country house at Poissy, on the banks of the 
Seine. Here his studio is beautifully decorated with old rustic 
woodwork and ancient tapestries, which generally appear in the 
background of his portraits, while the chief light comes from a huge 
window, whence the artist can see Poissy Church—also a familiar 
ebject in his pictures. M. Meissonnier rigidly copies the minutest 
details of his works from nature. Thus, if he wants to paint a horse 
covered with mud, he sends out a servant to take the animal 
through dirty fields and lanes before he attempts to represent the 
creature on canvas, and any unlucky model who poses for a dusty 
horseman has to be well powdered with dust picked up from the 
road. When painting the picture of ‘Solferino,” M. Meissonnier 
was summoned to Fontainebleau to show his work to Napoleon III., 
and in order that the artist might obtain a good likeness of the 
Emperor on horseback, Napoleon took him for a long ride. They 
called on a fellow artist on their way, Napoleon sat astride a chair 
me anes freely, and M, Meissonnier seized the opportunity for his 
sketch.

THERE have been further military movements in EGYPT. 
troops at Assouan have advanced to Wady Halfa, which Colonel 
Trotter and Major Kitchener have made their head-quarters. Three 
armed steamers, each manned by twenty British blue-jackets, under 
Captain Bedford, of H.M.S. dfonarch, are to patrol the Nile, 

. While the Governor of Dongola, whose good faith is now credited, 
has defeated a detachment of the rebels, and has been furnished 


with his wished-for supply of rifles. The Egyptian troops in this 


engagement are said to have behaved with much courage in the face . 
Major Kitchener has secured the services . 
of some 2,000 Arabs, with whom he proposes to make a. 


ol superior forces. 


reconnaissance in the Desert, and a chain of Arab outposts 
has been organised, so that no important advance can be 
made by the rebels without the British officers at once being: 
informed of it. Nothing has been heard from General Gordon, but 
numerous messengers have been sent to Khartoum, both by the 
authorities and by Zebehr Pasha, who is confident of his emissaries 
reaching the beleaguered city, and states that they will return in fifty 
days. Meanwhile another Mahdi has appeared, who declares that 
Mohammed Ahmet is only one of his dervishes. 


The negotiations for the Conference have not yet been concluded, 
but both France and England think it better to come to an agreement 
on the main points before meeting in formal conclave. According 
to certain statements, England has accepted the principle of an 
International audit of Fgyptian finances, but France further demands 
that the British occupation should have a definitive limit—say two or 
three years, France binds herself not to seek preponderance in 
Egypt, but wishes the administration to be placed under Interna- 
tional control, At Cairo France is considered to have scored 
a virtual victory over England, particularly as Mr. Clifford 
Lloyd has resigned and gone home, leaving Nubar 
Pasha complete master of the situation. Before he left, 
Mr. Lloyd was presented with a testimonial from Abd-el- 
Kader Pasha and others of his fellow-workers, who, together with 
the European officials, will now be speedily dismissed by Nubar. 
This latter will recall Sabet Pasha, restore all’ the worst features of 
old Egyptian despotism, including the rehabilitation of the Mudirs, 
the revival of the worst prison and judicial abuses, and 
return to the arbitrary exactions from the fellaheen. 


In FRANCE, M. Jules Ferry has introduced his much talked-of 
measure for'the Revision of the Constitution. The general features 
of the scheme are identical with those which we mentioned last 
week. Firstly, no more Life Senators are to be elected, but in 
their place Senators will be chosen for a term of nine years 
by both Houses in Congress. The electoral Senatorial ‘con- 
stituencies will be enlarged by the votes being appor- 
tioned with regard to the number of inhabitants in a 
Commune, instead of, as at present, each Commune, whether an 
obscure village or Paris itself, having only one vote. The Repub- 
lican form of Government is declared not ta be susceptible of change, 
and public prayers are no longer to be offered at the beginning of the 
Session. Finally, the Chamber is to have the last word on all 
financial matters. The introduction of the measure has excited 
comparatively little discussion, as all its main features were already 
known. Nevertheless M. Clémenceau, while addressing his con- 
stituents at Montmartre on Sunday, denounced it as being designed 
to strengthen an anti-Republican Government. The revision is 
certainly not sufficiently complete for the Radical Left, who are 
anxious for the abolition of the Senate. At the same time it is more 
than enough for the Provincial Conservatives, who regarded the 
Senate as a wholesome counterpoise to the Radical tendencies 
of the Lower Chamber, and who view with considerable misgiving the 
Chamber's participation in Senatorial elections, and the swamping 
of the votes of the village communes by the large towns. Still the 
great Centre party seem fairly satisfied, and that the two extremes 
disagree isa proof of the moderation of the measure. Amongst 
other grievances which M. Clémenceau_ urged against the Govern- 
ment were the Tunis, Tonquin, and Madagascar expeditions, which 
he declared were ‘significantly applauded by the German news- 
papers, estranged European sympathies, and impeded the real 
‘revenge ‘—not a revenge of arms, but of liberty, peace, and social 
order.” Speaking of the financial situation, he advocated a progres- 
sive tax on incomes and successions. The only other political topic 
of interest has been the introduction into the Senate of M. Naquet’s 
Divorce Bill, This has already been passed by the Chamber, and 
M. Naquet, who has since become a Senator, once more advocated 
the Bill with much logical force and oratorical power. 


In GERMANY another cause of contention has arisen in poli- 
tical circles—the vexed question of the ownership of the 
settlement of Angra Pequefia, on the West Coast of Africa. 
The Worth German Gazette now publishes the telegram sent by 
Prince Bismarck to Herr Lippert, the German Consul at Cape 
Town, in which he states that, “according .to statements 
of Mr. Liiderit, colonial authorities doubt as to his acquisitions 
north of Orange River being entitled to German protection. You 
will declare officially that he and his establishments are under the 
protection of the Empire.” A bili which has been introduced into the 
Federal Council by the Prussian Government for increasing the taxes 
on Bourse transactions. This has naturally promoted considerable 
indignation in stockbroking circles. The foundation-stone of the 
new Parliament House will be laid by the Emperor on June 9. 


In Russa, the Central Asian question and the annexation of 
Sarakhs are being discussed with an unconcealed tone of satisfaction 
that is particularly galling to Englishmen. The Moscow Gazette 
cannot see the importance of the difference between Old and New 
Sarakhs, which so easily satisfied the susceptibilities of the British 
Parliament, ‘‘thongh,” it continues,’ “in view of the admirable calm- 
ness with which the British Ministers regarded the submission of Merv, 
it is not surprising that they should receive with equal equanimity 
the news of its logical consequence—namely, the occupation of 
Sarakhs.” The future frontier line, the writer thinks; will be drawn 
to the south of the country inhabited by the Turkomans: of the 
Steppe, and then, he proceeds, ‘a joint occupation of the Khyber 
Pass by a Russo-Afghan garrison might perhaps free both countries 
from the wearisome suspicion of England, and sucha measure might 
be admitted by the Afghans, as in no way threatening their inde- 
pendence.” This is certainly plain speaking with a vengeance, and 


the absurdity of making any distinction between Old and New 


Sarakhs is as great as making an essential difference between 
Battersea and Chelsea. 


Of MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS we hear from SPAIN that there are 
terrible floods in Murcia and Alicante. There was a violent scene 
in Congress on Saturday, owing to the Minister of the Interior 
Sefior Romero y Robledo, declaring that the recent elections were 
not only the freest ever held in Spain, but that even the elections 
of the minority were due to the benevolence of the Government, 
He was compelled to withdraw the latter assertion. —In ITALY there 
is much comment on the large number of Cardinal’s hats now vacant. 
The Pope, however, wiil appoint no new French Cardinals unless 
the allowances suppressed hy the Chamber are renewed. —In Austria 


been some serious failures in the leather trade.—In 
ee aoa of Russia is causing considerable discussion and 
more apprehension than at home. A proclamation from the Mahdi 
has been found circulating, purporting to come from the Slave of 
God, Mohammed-el-Mahdi, Son of Syed Abdullah, and is 
addressed ‘to his friends who follow him and concur in supporting 
the true religion.”—-From CHINA comes the news that a decree has 


been promulgated ordering the opening of the mines of Yunnan.— 


In the UNITED Srates the chief topic has been the recent financial 
panic, which still continues, though in a modified way, no further 
failures of importance being chronicled. Several defaulting bank 
managers have been arrested—-In SouTH Arrica, there has been 
more. desultory fighting in Zululand. The Transvaal authorities, 
however, issued a proclamation forbidding the burghers to assist the 
combatants ; while the proclaimed intention of the British Govern- 


‘ment to maintain the integrity of the Reserve is stated to have 


already produced’ lively satisfaction among the Zulus, and has done 
much to restore confidence. Moreover, it is now announced that 
on the 21st inst. the: Boers crowned Dinzulu, Cetewayo’s son, as 
King of Zululand, and that he is generally acknowledged, both 
Oham and Usibepu having accepted: his sovereignty. The new 
King has proclaimed an amnesty, declares his earnest desire for 
peace, and that he will scrupulously respect the boundary fixed by 


the British Government.

THE QuEEN’s birthday was kept on Saturday with much less 
ceremony than usual, owing to the Royal mourning. Her Majesty 
spent the anniversary at Balmoral, where the Queen, Princess 
Beatrice, Princess Leiningen, and the Duke and Duchess of 
Connaught’s two children had arrived on the previous day, and all 
the customary festivities were omitted. On passing her sixty-fifth 
birthday Her Majesty has reached an age exceeded only by nine 
British Sovereigns since the Norman Conquest, and on June 2oth 
her reign will have lasted forty-seven years—a length exceeded only 
by those of Henry III., Edward ITI., and George III. The 
Queen is also the fourth oldest reigning European monarch—the 
German Emperor and the Dutch and Danish Kings being her 
seniors. The Royal party at Balmoral spend their time in riding 
and driving, and receive no visitors, while on Sunday they did not 
attend Crathie Church, the Rev. A. Campbell performing Divine 
Service at the Castle. Her Majesty will stay in the Highlands till 
about June 20. The Court is now in mourning until Tuesday for 
Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. 

The Prince of Wales has derived much benefit from the waters of 
Royat, and has now left on his way to join the Princess at Wies- 
baden, Whilst at Royat he visited the Observatory on the Puy de 
Déme, and made an excursion to Vichy, while on Saturday he gave 
a dinner to the chief English visitors, in honour of the Queen’s birth- 
Gay. Next morning he attended Divine Service at an extemporised 
chapel in the Hotel Chabassiére, and on Monday started for Mont 
Doré, where he spent the night. He ascended the Pic de Sancy on 
‘Tuesday, and thence drove to Clermont, whence he travelled by train 
to Paris, arriving early on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile the 
Princess and her daughters have been at Rumpenheim, where also 
the Empress of Russia and two ofher children, the Danish King and 
Queen, and a large number of Royal guests joined the party to be 
present on Monday at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth, 
daughter of the Landgrave of Hesse, with the Hereditary Prince 
of Anhalt. On the Royal gathering breaking up, the Prin- 
cess of Wales and her daughters accompanied the Danish 
King and Queen to Wiesbaden for a short visit. 

The Duchess of Edinburgh is going to Russia for the marriage of 
her brother, the Grand Duke Sergius, and leaves to-day (Saturday) 
in the Osdorne for Cronstadt. The Duke will reassume command 
of the Channel Squadron on the 17th prox., when the vessels 
assemble at Berehaven, Bantry Bay, for a short cruise.—Sunday 
was the Princess Christian’s 38th birthday. The Princess remains 
with the Duchess of Albany, ‘he has promised to open a bazaar 
at Brighton in November in aid of the Albion Hill Home, founded 
by Mrs, Vicars. —The Grand Duke of Hesse and Princess Elizabeth 
returned to Darmstadt at the end of last week, after visiting Prince 
and Princess Louis of Battenberg at Sennicotts. They will shortly 
leave for St. Petersburg, the Princess’s wedding being fixed for the 
16th prox, 


THE Bisnop oF EXETER has accepted the Presidency of the 
National Temperance League. 

AT THE ANNUAL MEETING of the Working Men’s Club and 
Institute Union, the Bishop of Carlisle, seconding a resolution, 
expressed his regret at not having been able to record his vote in 
the recent division in the House of Peers with what he termed the 
honourable minority who protested against the cruelty of pigeon- 
shooting. 

DurineG A Visit: To His BRoruEr at the Vicarage of Ruabon, 
the Dean of Bangor committed suicide by hanging himself from the 
bed-post with a leather belt, half an hour before, on Saturday 
morning, his dead body was discovered still warm. At the 
inquest the Vicar of Ruabon gave evidence that for some months 
his brother had been suffering so severely from nervous depression 
as to ask to be placed in a lunatic asylum, and obtained sleep solely 
by the constant use of sedatives. The coroner's jury returned a 
verdict of ‘* Suicide while in a state of insanity.” Dr. Edwards was 
born in 1836, and was appointed Dean of Bangor in 1876. Known 
to the general public. chiefly by his recent diatribe against tea- 
drinking, he was recognised in the Principality as a dignitary and 
preacher of great ability and energy, and in him the Church Defence 
movement in Wales loses one of its most powerful supporters. He 
was the author of several works in English and Welsh, theological 
and devotional, 

THE FOUNDATION STONE of the new English Church in Berlin, 
to the movement for.the erection of Which, references have been pre- 
viously made in this column, was laid, with great impressiveness, 
last Saturday, the Queen’s birthday, by the Crown Princess of 
Germany on a site which the Emperor of Germany had presented. 
The Crown Prince accompanied his Consort, and the Court of 
Berlin, as well as its English colony, was amply represented. An 
appropriate address was delivered by Bishop Titcomb. Of the 
8,000/, collected for the erection of the church about 5,700/, have 
been subscribed in England. 

AT A MEETING AT THE Mansion House on behalf of Miss 
De Broen’s Mission in the notorious Paris district of Belleville, the 
Lord Mayor, who presided, and Lord Shaftesbury strongly sup- 


May 31, 1884 


ported the appeal made for aid to it by Miss De Broen, who algo 
spoke. Lord Shaftesbury said that, through her exertions, Many of 
the former Communists of Paris might now be ranked among the 
most orderly and even pious of its inhabitants. 

Tue Rev. Mr. Piccort, one of the curates of St, Jude's, 
Mildmay Park, and three others—the Rev. G. Oliphant, the Rey, 
H. Webb-Peploe, and the Rev. H. E. Sampson, St. Benet’s, 
Stepney—have voluntarily resigned their curacies on joining the 
Salvation Army as simple cadets. 

THE ENGLISH ROMAN CATHOLIC PRELATES have resolved to 
extend to all their Dioceses in England the Voluntary School 
Association founded by the Bishop of Salford in his Diocese, in 
order to promote the establishment and maintenance of purely 
Roman Catholic schools. It will have a Central Council in London 
composed of the Archbishop and_ Bishops, with two delegates 
chosen by the Council of the fifteen Dioceses. The Duke of Norfolk 
is to be the President of the Association for the Roman Catholic 


Diocese of Westminster. 

At BaTH last week a series of meetings in the principal towns of 
the West of England was commenced in connection with Mr,

Mr. F. H. Cowen’s New SyMpHoNy.—~A new symphony 
from such a pen as that of Mr. F. H. Cowen is a genuine event to 
mark a more than usually barren season. Mr. Cowen, doubtless 
sensible of the effect which his Norwegian holiday hed upon the 
composition of his ‘Scandinavian’ symphony, has in his newest 
symphonic work, in B flat minor, produced at the Phitharmonic 
Concert on Wednesday, endeavoured to depict his impressions of a 
holiday in Wales. The attempt to introduce the national element 
into his latest work must be considered little short of a failure. A 
theme suggestive of the ‘‘Ash Grove,” used as the second subject 
of the first movement, is counterbalanced by another phrase equally 
suggestive of ‘‘Bonnie Dundee ;” and Mr. Cowen’s fourth and 
latest symphony is thereby rendered no less Welsh than Scottish, 
The composition must, indeed, be accepted less as programme 
than as abstract music, notable alike for its lack of thematic 
material as for the excellence of its workmanship, and for a 
style which rejects the masculine in favour of a feminity which Mr. 
Cowen has before affected. The first movement, an adlegro vizace, 
will, when it is better played than on Wednesday, probably be 
preferred. Its chief fault is a want of contrast between a feeble 
first subject and a second subject which may not be Welsh, but 
will probably become popular. Singularly enough, Mr. Cowen is 
by no means at his strongest in the slow movement, in the second 
subject of which he once more attempts to introduce the Welsh 
element. In the trio to the scherzo we once more have the 
so-called ‘* Welsh ” colour, and again in the first movement of the 
finale: To localise a symphony, professedly not ‘‘ programme 
music,” is a highly dangerous experiment. The ‘ Scandinavian” 
ran through Europe less because it contained imitations of Nor- 
wegian forms than because it was essentially dramatic, and had some 
sort of programme, The so-called ‘‘ Welsh” symphony, on the 
other hand, has no programme, and the “national” element is 
utilised almost ad zazseam. Madame Valleria charmingly sang at 
this concert songs by Spohr and others, and the renowned double- 
bass player, Signor Bottesini, reappeared for the first time since 
1871, and performed a feeble concerto in F sharp minor by himself. 

Roya ITALIAN OPERA. The chief event at the Opera has 
been the presentation of Mozart’s comic masterpiece Ze Wozse az 
figaro, with one of those combinations of star artists common 
enough in days gone by, but in these days of expensive prime 
donne as welcome as they are unusual. To place Madames Albani, 
Lucca, and Sembrich severally as the Countess, Cherubino, and 
Susanna in a single cast was a managerial cowp. If the combination 
of the three great Covent Garden vocalists could not filla house, 
Italian Opera, its cmpresarid and professors, might well have sung 
their Nene Dimittis, Happily this costly experiment proved 
successful, Not only was the house full, but the audience again 
included many of those personages of the class of society 
who once made the Italian Opera their rendezvous, Of the 
performance little need be said. Madame Albani has rarely 
appeared to better advantage than as the Countess Rosina, and her 
delivery of “Dove sono” will not readily be forgotten by those 
who heard it. The art of Madame Lucca is histrionic rather than 
vocal, but although Madame Sembrich was so far out of voice that 
“Deh vieni” was omitted, and Madame Helene Crosmond was 
dressed to play in case the Gallician prima donna should break 
dawn, yet her Susanna proved to be decidedly one of the best of 
her creations, The effort proved, however, disastrous to Madame 
Sembrich, who will probably not sing at Covent Garden till the 
week after next. 

CoNncERTS (VARIOUS). ‘Although not quite so plentiful as 
during more prosperous seasons, concerts have been sufficiently 
numerous. Miss Elizabeth Philp, the well-known ballad composer, 
introduced at her biennial concert several new drawing-room songs. 
——At Messrs, Frank Moir and Marshall’s concert several songs by 
the former, and a ‘‘Tarantella,” by the latter, were performed,— 
Madame Feilberg Lassen sang at her concert the air, ‘ Jerusalem,” 
from Gounod’s Gal/ia, which she sang at Marlborough House last 
February. A new song, “Tell Me,” by Signor Ducci, and several 
songs by Meyerbeer, Cowen, Darnstrém, Lassen, and others, were 
likewise delivered, manifestly to the tase of a fashionable audience 
—Madame Sophie Lowe and Miss Lena Little introduced the sixteen 
songs, known as the Dichterliebe, adapted by Schumann from the 
“* Lyrical Intermezzo” in Heine’s Buch der Lieder.—Herr August 
Hyllested, a pianist from Copenhagen, gave at Dudley House, on 
Wednesday, a lengthy recital of music of various schools.—Mr. 
Charles Halle’s last programme included a new piano trio in C 
minor, Op. 108, by Rubinstein.—At the Richter concert, the new 
symphony of Brahms, No. 3, Was repeated, with the result that 
the last movement, at second hearing, proved to be the finest 
section of a singularly fine work.—Concerts have also been given 
by the Royal Academy students, Miss W. Percy, Mr. F. W. 
Henley, Signor Paggi, Mr. Oberthiir, Madame Puzzi, Mr. Hugh 
Davies, and numerous others.

THE House of Commons separated for the Whitsun recess with 
the consciousness of having taken a long stride with the Franchise 
Bill. This happened on Monday night, and was evidently the 
direct result of the events of the previous Friday. On that occasion 
the Committee, being still engaged on the second clause, were con- 
fronted by an amendment standing in the name of Colonel Stanley, 
providing that the Franchise Bill should not come into operation 
until a Bill for the Redistribution of Seats was also on the Statute 
Book. This is, of course, the old controversy about the undesir- 
ability of furnishing opportunity for a general election to take place 
on the new franchise whilst the old Distribution of Seats exists. It 
is a striking tribute to the elasticity of the Rules of the House of 
Commons that the same question should without protest from the 
chair be thus repeatedly discussed. 

Colonel Stanley’s motion opened up a new controversy, which was 
pursued for a preliminary hour and a half. Mr. Albert Grey had 
on the paper an amendment dealing with the same subject, and pur- 
suing the same object in slightly varied form. Colonel Stanley 
fixed no date, simply requiring that the two schemes, for the Exten- 
sion of the Franchise and the Redistribution of Seats, should come 
into operation simultaneously. Mr. Grey fixed the Ist of January, 
1887, for the operation of the Franchise Bill, A strong opinion 
prevailed on the Conservative side that of the two Mr, Grey’s 
amendment was the better, seeing that, apart from other considera- 
tions, it was moved from the Ministerial side, and would carry with 
it some Liberal votes. Lord Randolph Churchill strongly advo- 
tated this view, and publicly appealed to his esteemed Leaders to 
withdraw Colonel Stanley’s amendment, and await the opportunity 
provided by Mr. Albert Grey’s. But Sir Stafford Northcote 
declined this advice, and, after all, Lord Randolph and the other 
Conservative mutineers voted for Colonel Stanley’s amendment, 
which was rejected by a majority of 94. 

But Lord Randolph Churchill was not content with showing up the 
tactical incompetence of gentlemen on the Front Bench, and quaintly 
rounding off his protest by voting with them. Between these two 
broadly contrasted processes he mate a speech which scattered to 
the wind rumours, and even the ‘authorised reports,” of concilia- 
tion. He explained that the object he constantly held in view was 
to prevent the Franchise Bill being se treated in the Commons as to 
supply the Lords with an excuse for throwing it out. He roundly 
asserted that there was a plot in the Conservative ranks to bring 
about that end, gentlemen who loudly protested their desire to see 
the franchise extended secretly scheming to destroy the Bill. That 
was a state of things, Lord Randolph said, which the public ought 
to know. For his own part he would have nothing to do with it, 
but would rather work with might and main, not only to carry the 
Bill through the Commons, but to defeat the preconceived determi- 
nation of the Lords to wreck it. This speech was listened to with 
profound uneasiness on the Conservative benches, and loudly and 
laughingly cheered from the Liberal side. 

With the exception of a guarded and, by comparison, exceedingly 
mild retort from Lord John Manners, nothing was said on Friday 
about this outbreak by the irrepressible young lord. But on Monday 
ts effects were plainly seen. The ‘Opposition, who had hitherto 
fught the Bill word by word, and had sometimes taken a whole 
sitting for a hopeless amendment, seemed utterly broken up. 
Clause 2, which contains the pith of the Bill, was agreed to without 
more ado. Clause 3, embodying the novel principle of the service 
franchise, which in ordinary circumstances would have served the 
purpose of at least two nights’ debate, was passed in two hours; and 
when progress was reported, an event which took place at an 
unusually early hour, the Committee was well advanced with 
Clause 4. This shows a complete revolution in the aspect and 
attitude of the Committee, and, unless something quite fresh happens, 
the Bill will reach the Lords in the last week of June. They will 
then have full opportunity for duly considering soimportanta measure. 

As if the House of Commons had not already work enough on 
hand, more, in truth, than it is likely to get through, Mr. Trevelyan 
on Tuesday introduced a Bill boldly dealing with the purchase 
clauses of the Irish Land Act. The Secretary to the Lord 
Lieutenant claims that his proposals go to the bottom of the 
question, and represent everything that can possibly be done by the 
State in the matter. That is a statement no one candeny. The 
new Bill proposes to bless Ireland with a gentle rain of twenty 
millions sterling, the shower continuing at equable pace over a period 
that cannot be less than four years, and may be more. Tenants who 
desire to purchase their holdings, and can produce one-fourth of the 
purchase money, will have the remainder advanced to them as a 
loan by the State at 34 percent. interest, repayment being extended 
over a period of forty years. So marvellous is the financial legerde- 
nan possible to a wealthy State that whilst it will itself be fully 
secured, and will even make a little legitimate profit on the transac- 
tion, the tenant availing himself of the Act would at the end of 
forty years become sole proprietor of his farm, having in the mean- 
time paid off the purchase money by instalments actually less in 
amount than what he now pays in the shape of rents and rates! 
Whilst this scheme opens up to the Irish tenant a vista of El 
Dorado it is peculiarly attractive to the landlord, who will be glad 
to dispose at market price of land for which hitherto there has been 
a strong improbakility of obtaining his rent. But it is against the 
interest of certain persons that Irish tenant-farmers should be too 
contented and prosperous, and therefore the measure will be stoutly 
resisted. 

In both Houses a parting shot was taken on Egyptian affairs, In 
both, Ministers made the important announcement that the result of 
the negotiations now geing forward with France would be made 
known to Parliament before they were submitted to the Conference, 
thus leaving the final arbitrament of the matter to the decision of 
Parliament, In the House of Commons the unexpected complete- 
ness of this concession was frankly acknowledged—by Mr. Bourke 
on behalf of the Front Bench, by Lord Randolph Churchill for the 
Fourth Party, by Mr. Balfour, who might have been expected to 
know something of the view of distinguished persons in the Lords 
—and even by Mr. Ashmead Bartlett, who, after the Premier’s 
statement, positively hesitated about putting a question he had 
placed upon the paper. It seemed obvious to the most mistrustful 
Conservative in the Commons that if Parliament is to have an 
Opportunity of deciding upon the acceptability of whatever arrange- 
ments may be made with France, and approved by the Great 

Powers, there could be no danger even of Mr, Gladstone’s Govern- 
ment going wrong, There was, therefore, profound astonishment 


“Tadema’s small drawing, 


and some puzzlement when in the Lords, meeting two hours later, 
asimilar declaration by Earl Granville elicited an angry storm of 


further questions from Lord Salisbury, Earl Cairns, and others, | 


There was at first some suspicion that this anger was simulated. 
But the Lords proved their sincerity by the heroic resolution to cut 
off a week from their holidays, and they will accordingly reassemble 
on Monday week. . 


MEssRs, WEEKES AND Co,——A very useful little work for school 
and private-class teaching is ‘*Choral Primer ” and. “ Sight-Singing 
Exercise Book,” by Samuel Weekes, Mus. Bac., Cantab. It contains 
a large amount -of information, and will greatly assist teachers of 
part-singing.—To follow upon the study of the primer, ‘‘ Weekes 
and Co.’s School Series of Part-Songs,” edited by Sidney Russell, 
will be found very appropriate; they are arranged for two voices 
only, as a general rule, but occasionally for four voices; amongst 
them will be found many well-known and favourite songs and some 
new compositions of merit.—‘* Songs of the Sirens,” a duet for 
ladies’ voices, from ‘‘ Tale of Troy,” words translated from Homer 
by G, C, Warr, music by Malcolm Lawson, may: well be introduced 
for a breaking-up party at a college or school.—Replete with devo- 
tional feeling is ‘‘1f Ye Love Me, Keep My Commandments,” a 
sacred song, music by Ernest Kiver, words from Holy Writ; it is 
published in two keys, C and E flat, and will soon be a favourite for 
a Sunday at home.,—‘‘ To-Day and To-Morrow” is a pleasing little 
song by Alice Sheppard ; it contains some sensible advice. —“ The 
Skipper’s Farewell” is a pathetic tale of the sea, for a bass voice, 
written and composed by Frank Austin.—A song with a moral of 
a serious character is ‘* The Faithful Friend,” written and composed 
by the Rev. J. H. Daubney and Arthur H. Bowser.—A pleasing 
song of the domesticated school is ‘‘ Fireside Dreams,” words by 
Walter Spinney, music by Conrad Sterling. It is published in four 
keys.—-A pretty barcarolle of a somewhat ordinary type is ‘“‘My 
Own Sweet Love,” words by E. Oxenford, music by Kd. Heinrich; 
it is written for a tenor voice.—Two cleverly-written songs, music 
by Charlton T. Speer, are ‘‘ Fond Memories,” the simple words by 
the composer, and ‘“‘The King’s Cavalier,” words by Claxson 
Bellamy ; both these songs are published in two keys.—A very fair 
specimen of its much-admired school is ‘‘Gavotte in G,” for the 
pianoforte, by Henry Hudson, There is much quaint originality in 
“‘ The Goblin’s Festival,” a ‘‘ dance measure” for the pianoforte by 
Robert Munro. —‘‘ The Lawn Tennis Schottische,” by Waiter E. 
Allen, is tuneful and inspiriting, and ‘‘Ce Que J’Aime” Valse, by 
Penelope Meredith, is danceable and melodious. 

Messrs. OsBoRN AND TucKwooD,—Full of tender pathos is 
‘¢ Queenie,” written and composed by Michael Watson, published 
in three keys ; it is one of the sweetest songs that this popular com- 
poser has ever written.—-‘‘ The Silent March,” by the same poet and 
composer, is a highly dramatic and effective narrative song.—As its 
name would lead us to suppose, ‘‘ Beyond the Gates” is a devo- 
tional song of a very interesting type, the words by Lindsay Lennox, 
the music by Ciro Pinsuti; it is published in C and in D,—Cheerful 
and melodious is ‘* My Queen of Hearts,” for a baritone of limited 
compass, words and music by Edward Harper.—Book I. of ‘* The 
Vesper Voluntaries,” for organ, harmonium, or American organ, 
contains sixteen original voluntaries by Nicholas Heins ; they will 
be appreciated by players who are not equal to difficulties or com- 
plications. —Showy and not difficult, ** March of the Minstrels,” by 
Frederic A. Dunster, will find many admirers in the drawing-room 
and schoolroom. 

Notrice.—lIn our Review (May 24) of ‘‘ Home Recollections ” 
(Cramer and Co.) the composer’s name is given as ‘‘ Moule.” It 
should be Mr. James J. Monk.

ROYAL SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER 
COLOURS 


Wiru a view of strengthening their exhibitions in the department 
of Art in which they were weakest, the members of this ancient 
Society have lately added the names of several figure painters to the 
list of Associates. Thetwo latest recruits will‘ probably do good 
service eventually, but on the present occasion their contributions 
are not important. Mr. Albert Moore sends only two graceful and 
delicately-wrought single figures of miniature size, both of which 
he has produced ona larger scale in his picture at the Academy. 
The only work by Mr. J. H. Henshall, ‘‘ Thoughts ”—apparently 
a portrait—represents a young girl perched on a tall library stool, 
with a book in her hands. It is not entirely free from crudities of 
manner, but it is ably executed, and there -is something in it,. not 
easily to be defined, that indicates the painter’s capacity for better 
work, Mr. W, J. Wainwright, who first appeared here last year, 
sends a picture, ‘‘ His Model,” remarkable alike for its ecceniric 
mode of treatment and the forcible and effective manner in which it 
is painted. It looks like a scene reflected in a-convex mirror, the 
foreground objects being on a very much larger scale than those 
only a little more distant, The only face to be seen—that of a girl, 
whom an artist of the last century, with his back to the spectator, 


is admitting to his studio—is uninteresting. Every part of the work . 


is, however, handled with extraordinary skill, in a manner showing 
the influence of foreign study. Nothing could well be more realistic 
than the rendering of the man’s embroidered coat, and of the 
numerous still-life objects about him. 

Mr. Henry Wallis’s picture of Antonio and Bassanio bargaining 
with Shylock is one of the best of many illustrating Zhe Merchant 
of Venice that he has produced. More distinct characterisation in 
the figures and more intensity of expression would have rendered the 
work more dramatically effective, but the grouping is excellent, and 
the disposition of the rich and brilliant local tints most artistic. The 
subordinate figures and the picturesque buildings in the background 
glowing in the light of the mid-day sun, are admirably introduced, 
and by their truth of local colour add greatly to the verisimilitude of 
the scene, Sir John Gilbert’s romantic landscape, with two small 
figures, ‘‘ Timon and Apemantus,” is more English than Greek in 
character, but it is distinguished by subdued splendour of colour, 
and the masterly breadth of style seldom absent from his work. Mr. 
Carl Haag’s experience of Oriental life has enabled him to invest 
his scene of Biblical history, ‘ Eliezer Returning from his Mission,” 
with an air of reality. The costume of Rebekah is perhapsa 
little too gaudy, but the camel on which she is seated and the man 
who is leading it across the desert are treated in a large and 
simple style. Ina quaint picture. illustrating a German legend, 
“‘The Captive Princess,” by Mr. H. S. Marks, the forlorn maiden 
seated in a forest is less interesting than the malignant pelicans who 
closely guard her. These and the lady’s faithful Boatbill are full of 
character, and drawn with almost unsurpassable skill. Form, 
texture, and varied hue are admirably rendered in Mr. Alma 
“A Street Altar,” but no especial 
grace of movement is evolved in the action of the Roman girl who 
has mounted a step to decorate a shrine with garlands. 

Mr. E. A. Waterlow, who is seen to greater advantage than on 
any former occasion, sends a fresh and vigorously-painted sea- 


coast scene, ‘A Ramble on the Cliffs,” with a group of childzen in 
the foreground ; and a still better work—more luminous In tone, 
.and more, completely harmonious—representing the dilapidated 
old stone. “ Post Office at Tintagel.” Mr. J. Parker's Breton 
street scene, ‘¢ The Belle of Landerneau,” is accurate in detail, and 
finished with great care and completeness, but it fails to convey a 
sense of reality ; everything is impossibly neat and clean, and the 
figures are affected in gesture and movement. Ina large drawing 
of ** The Corn Market, Abbeville,” Mr. S, J. Hodson has depicted 
the dilapidated old timber-framed houses and the Cathedral 
towering above them, with a keen sense of their picturesque 
beauty ; the numerous figures that animate the scene are skilfully 
introduced, and the whole is in excellent keeping. Miss Clara 
Montalba’s ‘* A November Day, Middleburgh,” is a very charming 
study, strikingly true in local character, and full of suffused light ; 
and her view of the same town under a different atmospheric 
influence is scarcely, if at all, inferior to it. In his large picture of 
“ Hyde Park Corner, Looking West,” Mr. Herbert Marshall has 
realised the aspect of the familiar scene under a transient effect of 
light with surprising skill. The fog-laden atmosphere that obscures 
all but the foreground, the setting sun breaking through the clouds, 
and its vivid reflection in the sloppy road are most truthfully 
rendered. Mr. G. A. Fripp sends a large drawing of ‘‘The West 
Coast of the Island of Sark,” remarkable for its purity of tone, 
and for the accuracy with which the varied modulations of form 
and colour in the long line of cliff are rendered. Mr. A, Goodwin 
has a placid river scene of great beauty, ‘‘Silence;” and a large 
and impressive drawing representing the squalid outskirts of a 
manufacturing town, with the setting sun seen through the medium 
of smoke and fog. The collection includes good landscapes in their 
accustomed styles by Mr. F. Danby, Mr. A. W. Hunt, Mr. A. D. 
Fripp, and Mr. T. J. Watson ; and excellent sea pictures by Mr. 
F. Powell and Mr. H. Moore. :

SEEKERS after good literature have long been acquainted with the 
writings of Mr. John Burroughs, and the dainty little reprints of 
his books by Mr. David Douglas, of Edinburgh, have put Mr. 


Burroughs’ work within everybody’s reach. A more charming 
writer it would be difficult to name either here or in America. 
Individual as his style is, echoes lurk in it here and there, and the 
reader is reminded now of Emerson, then of Thoreau, and again of 
Mr, Richard Jefferies, Five of Mr. Douglas’s pretty volumes are 
before us—‘t Wake-Robin,” ‘Locusts and Wild Honey,” 
“ Pepacton,” ‘* Birds and Poets,” and **Winter Sunshine.” ‘The 
chapter in the last-named work on ‘‘ The Exhilarations of the Road ” 
is delightful ; itis a pzean to pedestrianism, andno one can fully enjoy 
it who is not himself a sturdy and observant walker. Mr. 
Burroughs is very kind to the English. In the chapter describing 
his visit to this country we have not found a harsh expression or an 
illiberal judgment, and there is much that isalmost tookindly. The 
chapter on Emerson, in ‘* Birds and Poets,” is full of good things 
well said ; that on Walt Whitman is admirable in manner, though 
as criticism it is somewhat high-strung. Mr, Burroughs’ conclusions 
about Whitman will not be accepted in this country, at any rate, 
without much questioning. Indeed, we like Mr. Burroughs best 
when he is writing on the subjects he has made his own—Nature in 
her many moods, animals, insects, birds, flowers, and trees, 

Mr. Thomas Hughes believes that ‘‘every year it becomes more 
clear that the openings in England for young men in our upper and 
middle classes are quite insullicient,” and he thinks the best thing 
that young men can do is to emigrate to new countries, and there 
come in contact with the hard realities of life. What Mr. Hughes 
has himself done at Rugby, ‘Tennessee, is well known. In ‘‘ Gone to 
Texas: Letters from Our Boys” (Macmillan and Co.) he now invites 
attention to that State asa suitable place of emigration for young 
Englishman. ‘'G. T. T.,” said a pessimist friend when he heard 
that one of Mr. Hughes’s nephews was about to emigrate, “‘stands 
for ‘Gone to ‘Texas.’ When we want to say very shortly that it’s all up 
with a fellow, we just say, ‘G.T.T.,’ just as you’d say, ‘Gone to the 
devil or the dogs.’” But Mr. Hughes tries to show that going to 
Texas is no such desperate thing. So he has taken from the letters 
of his three young nephews a series of extracts describing their early 
struggles, and has tacked them together, with a necessary note or 
explanation here and there. Mr, Hughes’s nephews are just such 
young men as would have delighted Charles Kingsley. No work 
seems too hard for them, no food too rough, and no disasters too 
serious, Their letters are full of heartiness and health; and from 
the life of English public-school boys they turned with ease to the 
pursuits of cattle-driving, sheep-shearing, and house-building. 
Needless to say, such energetic young men have succeeded. 

Mr. J. E. H. Gordon's “* Practical Treatise on Electric Lighting” 
(Sampson Low and Co.) is a book which appeals to practical 
electricians and men of science rather than to the general public. 
It is an exhaustive treatise on the whole subject, dealing with the 
conversion of electric currents into heat, the relation of electrical 
units to each other, &c., and passing on to a description of the 
different kinds of lamps and dynamo machines at present in use. 
Mr. Gordon isa man of great practical experience, and it is inte 
resting to find him repeating now the opinion he expressed in 1881, 
that “the day of universal electric lighting is not even in the near 
future, but in the immediate future.” . 

It is pleasant to read such a book as that on “Billiards,” by 
William Cook, Champion (Burroughes and Watts), so complete is 
the author’s mastery of his subject, and so lucidly are his ideas placed 
before the reader. This book is no doubt the most authoritative 
treatise on the game of billiards yet published. It is intended to 
assist novices who are unable to have lessons from a good master ; 
and from the simplest directions as to the holding of the cue and 
forming the bridge, it passes to the most complicated strokes. 
Chapters are devoted to certain strokes, such as the spot-stroke, the. 
push-stroke, middle-pocket hazirds, &c. ; and the volume is 
illustrated with an excellent series of diagrams, and several good 
photographs showing the proper position for diiferent strokes, 

““Toand Fro; or, Views from Sea and Land ” (Elliott Stock), is 
the name Mr. William Sime has chosen for a series of papers con- 
tributed by him to the pages of the S¢, /ames’s Gazette, and now 
collected in volume form. It is natural that a writer should wish to 
rescue from the oblivion of the newspaper file essays on which he has 
presumably spent some time and trouble ; it is equally natural that 
volumes of this sort should not take rank among the most attractive. 
The first papers in the book—those on places in the Mediterranean 
—-are the best. Mr. Sime is observant, and he has a graphic pen. 

** Biographies of Celebrities for the People” (J. and K. Maxwell), 
edited by Frank Banfield, is a well executed attempt to supply the 
public with cheap and trustworthy biographies of eminent contem- 
poraries. Mr, Banfield’s biographies are brief, but they give all the 
essential facts, and where criticism is introduced it is discriminating 
and elucidatory. ‘ ; 

The existence of various guides to literary beginners show that 
there are numbers of amateurs trying to make their way into” the 
ranks of literary people. ‘‘ Literary Work : Its Ins and Outs,” by 
“ A Pablisher’s Reader” (J. Egerton, 130, Fleet Street), is one oi

the latest of these guides, and what it lacks in practical hints and 
information is made up for by copious anecdotes and plenty of 
chatty narrative. 

Miss Sarah Tytler’s ‘‘ Marie Antoinette : The Woman and the 
Queen ” (Marcus Ward and Co.)—the latest addition to the ‘‘ New 
Plutarch” Series—is well-compiled and readable. Miss Tytler 
never rises to any high strain of eloquence or pathos ; but her story 
moves easily, and the facts are well grouped. : 

Two lectures on “Shetland and the Shetlanders ” (Kirkwall: W. 
Pearce and Son), delivered by Mr. Sheriff Rampini before the 
Philosophical Institution at Edinburgh, have been republished. Mr. 
Rampini traces the history of the islands from the earliest days to 
the present time, and looks forward with confidence to their 
future prosperity. His account of the Shetland superstitions 
is of much interest ; so too is his account of the recent develop- 
ment of the fishing industry following on the introduction of 
decked boats, 


IN THE Queen’s BENCH DIVISION, in an appeal by the 
Southwark School Board, it was decided on Tuesday that a reason- 
able excuse for the non-attendance at school of a young girl over 
twelve, able to read and write well, was constituted by the fact that 
her earnings were absolutely necessary to her family.. While she 
was absent from school her father, through no fault of his own, 
was out of work, and the wages she received as nursemaid she 
pave to her mother, who without them could inot have fed the other 
children. 

Mrs. WELDON conducted her own case in an action for libel 
tried this week at Nisi Prius, and brought by her against the London 
correspondent of the Paris Figaro, as the writer of an article in that 
journal, reflecting on her behaviour to M. Gounod at the 
Birmingham Musical Festival, where his Redemption was being per- 
formed, and on her career and character generally. Among the 
defendant’s pleas was one of justification; but he neither appeared 
in the witness-box nor called any witnesses, Mrs, Weldon claimed 
5,000/, damages; the jury gave her 500/, 

THE QUEEN’s BENCH DIVISION have affirmed, on appeal, the 
conviction of and fine imposed by the Justices of Truro on a captain 
of the Salvation Army for persisting in playing a concertina in the 
streets of that town in contravention of a bye-law of the borough 
making it an offence to play or sing publicly after an order to 
desist. 


WitHourT being altogether a new departure, Mr. James Payn’s 
“The Canon’s Ward” (3 vols.: Chatto and Windus) does not 
belong to the order of fiction with which its author’s name is chiefly 
identified. It is none the worse for this, however, and in some 
important respects the better. Except at the close, there is no 
incident that can be called sensational, and the one exception 
is ‘indicated instead of being described, in such a manner as to lose 
nothing of its own dramatic suggestiveness, while at the same time 
avoiding what might otherwise have been a jarring note in the 
general nature of the story. Mr. Payn has small pity:for a villain, 
and no sympathy with the too customary process of proving that 


witkedness is not so mucha fault as a misfortune; but in the present ‘ 


case he gives his scoundrel (and the most odious of scoundrels 
Mr. John Adair turns out to be) the most delicately finished of 
domestic interiors for the scene of his machinations, ' The Canon 
himself, his maiden sister, and his college friend ate delightful 
portraits, one and all, and Mr, .Payn has happily subdued his pro- 
verbial high spirits to a tone of easy and quiet humour such as we 
have not hitherto been disposed to expect from him. ‘There is a 
flavour of the Combination Room, as well as of the May Term, 
over his Cambridge pictures, and it is with appropriate regret that 
we are made to leave Trinity for London. Then there are a quaint 
pair of children, a boy and a girl, for whom Mr. Payn inspires his 
readers with no small share of his own obvious affection. Under 
all these conditions, it will not be easy for the uninitiated to imagine 
how one of the most charming of heroines—all the more loveable 
for her many faults and errors~contrives twice to marry a man 
whom she learns to hate, and to be twice a widow before she settles 
down happily. Few authors are capable of telling an 
interesting story about interesting people with such successful 
straightforwardness as Mr,' Payn has told the story of ‘‘ The 
Canon’s Ward.” - 

Adeline Sergeant, in “‘An Open Foe” (3 vols.: Bentley and 
Son), has certainly not been afraid of the charge of improbability. 
Indeed, _the improbabilities, whether of character or of situation, 
amount in some points to downright impossibility. The author has 
therefore overcome no ordinary difficulties in maintaining the story 
at a high level of interest, and in. keeping its characters entirely 
removed from that shadowy condition into which the general nature 
of the romance tends to throw them, This human and dramatic 
interest saves the novel from being a mere successful zour de force, 
It certainly is the latter, not only for the reason already given, but 
also on account of the extraordinary complication of the plot, 
which could not possibly be intelligibly condensed within reasonable 
dimensions, even were that needful, That it is unnecessarily complex 
we are far from saying—an elaborate plot, giving rise to all manner 
of unexpected situations and relations, is the very motive of the 
novel, which is thus a monument of ingenuity. Nevertheless the 
chief success of the work lies in the clear distinction of the charac- 
ters one from another, even under the most confusing circumstances, 
so that ‘* An Open Foe” remains as easy to read as it is difficult to 
describe—which is saying a great deal. Unlikelihood reaches its 
climax in the Russian part of the story, where the Czar himself acts 
as deus ex maching, But even this is well managed, and even while 
the situation becomes melodramatic ina theatrical sense, the dramatis 
persone remain men and women. The novel is absolutely without 
a purpose beyond that of interesting as a story ; and in that it cer 
tainly succeeds. Among its many improbabilities, its greatest is 
that a reader, having once got fairly into it, would lay it down 
unfinished. Perhaps it would have been more agreeable had it been 
printed in black instead of red ink, but, of course, that must be a 
matter of opinion. 

There is less than the usual amount of the sporting element in Mr, 
Hawley Smart’s book of tales, “Salvage” (1 vol. : Chapman and 
Hall).—The author has been well advised.in beginning with ‘* My 
Grandfather’s Codicil,” and ending with ‘The Spectre Signal.” 
The result of this is to begin with a-good impression and to leave off 
with a pleasant flavour, for all that comes between is little better 
than trivial padding. However, ‘these two are really fresh and 
original, and worth reprinting. One borders on the supernatural ; 
the other very decidedly steps beyond the border. What the Psycho- 
logical Society would have to say to the case of a true dream of the 


THE GRAPHIC 


name of the Derby winner many years before the event, we hardly 
know—certainly it would be generally regarded as the champion 
dream of dreams. Yet more distinctly supernatural, and much more 
striking, is the other story of how the ghost, or, to be more 
accurate, the wraith, of a living man so far forgot the traditions of 
his uncomfortable calling as to be of some use to somebody. The 
last-named tale contains no suggestion of sport, and is well adapted 
to introduce Mr. Smart to readers who have no fellow-feeling with 


his ordinary subjects.

Tue Turr.—Epsom. Summer Meeting began with but poor 
sport on the opening day, but the Derby anniversary on Wednesday 
last will be a marked one for ever in the annals of the classic race 
from the fact that it resulted in a dead heat, which was not run off, 
Only once during its history of over a century has a similar event 
occurred, and this was as long ago as the year 1828, when the Duke 
of Rutland’s Cadland won after a dead heat with the Hon. E, 
Petre’s The Colonel. Twice has there been a dead heat for the 
Oaks, and twice for the St. Leger, and now all the three great 
classic races are equal in this respect. Once only has there been a 
dead heat for the Two Thousand, and never for the One Thousand. 
Wednesday’s Derby will also be memorable for the fact that for many 
days before the race, and till within three days of the race, one 
owner, Sir John Willoughby, had the two: first favourites in 
Harvester and Queen Adelaide, and the first-named turned out one 
of the dead-heaters, and the- other secured the third place. 
Harvester thus ran up to his recent form, though on Saturday last he 
had to be stopped in his work, and started a comparative outsider at 
14to1. The co-dead-heater, St. Gatien, won the three races he 
started for last year, but started at 12 to 1, and not a single 
‘* prophet ” had ventured to give him as the winner. The result, 
though in one sense sensational, cannot by any means be deemed 
satisfactory, as the dead heat was not run off, and one of the 
dead-heaters’ was looked upon as next door to broken down. 
The whole business will certainly not redound to the honour or 
well-being of the Turf. If we treat St. Gatien as the winner, those 
fond of coincidences may note that out of the last eight occasions an 
animal whose name began with the letter ‘*S has won, and that 
the multitude of supposed sinners who crowd the Downs on the 
Derby Day, have now witnessed the successive victories of two 
‘* Saints,” St. Blaise being the hero oflast year. C. Wood, who rode 
St. Blaise, was also on the “‘ Saint” of last Wednesday. On public 
running Queen Adelaide should have beaten the dead-heaters ; but 
she was beaten by two lengths.. A dull day, with a cold east wind 
and plenty of dust, were the meteorological surroundings of the 
Derby; but the great carnival was thoroughly enjoyed after its kind 
in all its departments. 

CrickeT.——Whatever, may be the general result of the visit of 
the Australians, they have certainly helped already to contribute 
two remarkable matches. to the ‘* Curiosities of Cricket.” In the 
first, between the M.C.C. and. our visitors, the former on the first 
day scored’ 465, with a wicket still left standing, and on the next 
morning the total was made up to 481, figures which have seldom’ 
been reached before in a single innings in a first-class match. But. 
the most remarkable feature was that three of the batsmen, W. G. 
Grace, A. G. Steel, and Barnes (not out), all scored over 100 runs. 
The Australians replied with 184 and 182, and were thus beaten by 
an innings and 115 runs, Perhaps even more remarkable from 
certain points of view was the match between the Australians and a 
“mixed” Midland Eleven at: Birmingham. In this the features 
were the trifling scores and grand bowling on both sides. The 
Midland Counties made 82 and 26, and the Australians 76 and 33 
with the loss of six- wickets, only four scores in the four innings 
reaching double figures, and no less than thirty-six wickets 
falling for an average of six runs a-piece. Inthe second innings 
of the Englishmen Spofforth took seven wickets for less 
than five runs each,. but in the first innings of the Australians 
Barlow’s analysis shows. even better, as he clean bowled six of the 
seven batsmen he dismissed.—The Counties have been very busy in 


their internecine contests, which have resulted in the victories of -. 
Surrey over both Hampshire and Leicestershire, of Lancashire over“ 


Derbyshire, of Notts over Middlesex, and of. Kent over Hampshire, 
in which last match Lord Harris in his second innings’ scored 112 
(not out). But referring to big scores, the present week has given 
us even a ‘‘ bigger thing,” in the match between Yorkshire and 
Cambridge University, when the famous County put together no 
less than 539 runs, of which Hall made 116, Bates 133, and 
Grimshaw 115. The Light Blues scored 114 and 222, and were 
thus beaten in one innings with 203 runs to spare,—For a “ tall ? 
Lit of bowling we may note the performance of one W. Jordan, 
who in a match between Burgoyne and Co. against the Phar- 
maceutical Society on the Eton and Middlesex ground, bowled 9 
overs, of which 7 were ‘‘maidens,” and clean bowled 6 wickets 
for 5 runs. ; 

AQUATICS,—The result of the Annual College Races leaves 
Exeter in the place it held at the head of the river, with Corpus, 
Magdalen, and Brasenose next in order, with seventeen other 
crews after them, of which Wadham brought up the rear.—From 
Australia we hear that Hanlan and Laycock have sculled a match 
for 1,000/. and the Championship of the World, which Hanlan has 
retained, as might have been expected.—At Eton, Muttleburg has 
won the School Sculling, beating five other starters, 

'TRICYCLING,——The best previous professional record of twenty 
miles in 1 hour 12 min, 55 sec. has been beaten at Leicester by 
F. Lees, who has done’ the distance in 1 hour 7 min, 15sec. 

ATHLETICS.——In the annual friendly contest between the 
Moseley and the Blackheath Harriers, W. George fairly out- 
Georged himself by winning four events for the former, who gained 
an easy victory over their opponents,

THE AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK,——-The rapid advance of the 
season in the last fortnight is the leading fact of the period, and co- 
incidently there extends the belief that the summer may be attended 
by drought, and so increase the cost and care of keeping live stock. 
Food for the latter has increased in price, although at present green 
keep is fairly plentiful. However, there are meadows already which, 
through not promising a good yield.of hay, will be condemned to 
grazing purposes. In the neighbourhood of Salisbury haymaking 


was seen in ‘progress last week, but passing on Saturday through the . 


Kentish hop-gardens we found the plants lower down the poles than 
they usually are towards the end.of May. There are few signs of 
wheat-ears being out during the present calendar month, but the 
late hot sunshiny time doubtless stimulated -earing. Shortness 


MAY 31, 1884 


of straw seems probable in wheat. as well as in oats and 
barley, whilst the beans are blossoming nicely close down to the 
ground. From abroad the reports of harvest Prospects keep 
favourable. The above conditions are not favourable to the itiadeaee 
which have, moreover, ample current supplies of wheat and flour. 
Prices have been weak, but scarcely quotably worse. : 

Scorcu FarMinc.——The wheat fields promise uncommonly 
well, and farmers are very hopeful. Unhappily the area under 
wheat is very small, Barley was rather severely bitten by the cold 
east wind and night frosts of April and the first week of May, but 
since then a welcome rainfall on several nights, and bright sunshiny 
days, have done so much good that on the loamy and medium soils 
the plant has regained a good colour, and shows a very healthy 
growth. It is only in exposed situations that it is rather poor. The 
oat braird was also checked in April, but since then the growth has 
been satisfactory. Scotland during the past three weeks has had 4 
decidedly heavier rainfall than England, SO that the hay crop 
promises well, particularly where top-dressing has been applied, 

Foot-AND-MoutH DIsEASE would by now have heen almost 
extinct in England but for the unfortunate outbreak in Kent, where- 
by over five hundred animals have been affected, and the figures for 
the whole Kingdom prevented from showing the steady diminution 
which had been hoped for. Meanwhile, the Cattle Disease Bill has 
become law, and the Privy Council must be prepared rigidly to 
prohibit importations from all infected countries, 

THE MAIDSTONE SHOW, which opens on Whit-Monday, and 
will remain open for five days, will be distinguished for a good 
show of cattle, the Sussex, Channel Island, and shorthorn breeds 
appearing in force, and other races being also represented. As to 
sheep, we shall be very much surprised if, with Romney Marsh 
within the county and the Southdowns also near, there is not such 
a show as will long be remembered with pride in the Home 
Counties. ‘There are as many as 66 hop entries, and 75 entries of 
bees; while with 613 entries of poultry, a whole day will be 
necessary to adequately inspect the lesser branches of the exhibition, 
The show of agricultural implements is likely to be a good one, and 
it will derive special interest from the erection of several silos, 

AGRICULTURAL Procress is known to be going on around us; 
but it needs such reminders as the recent Report on Technical 
Instruction to reveal to us how great has been the progress even in 
a single decade. The competition of foreign countries has become 
very hard to fight, and -agricultural education will have in the 
future to be made far more of a system and a regular training than 
our fathers ever imagined it being. The apprenticeship of youths 
to selected farmers is a custom which is now in its veriest infancy ; 
but which bids fair to be a normal occurrence of the year 1900. Nor 
need we despair of seeing country girls sharing in the advantages of 
agricultural learning. The dairy should be quite their own depart- 
ment, and the botanical side of farm study is well within their 
powers. We may also hope to see in connection with Board 
Schools the acquisition in country parishes of plots of land, on 
which the boys of farm labourers may do experimental and super- 
vised work. If farm work were made more interesting, as it could 
be made by intelligent teaching, the unhappy migration of country 
lads into already over-populated towns might at least in some degree 
be checked. 

Mr. CARWARDINE was an agriculturist whose name in the West 
of England was in the very foremost rank. He was one of the 
most successful breeders of Hereford cattle, and his herd was not 
only famous in England, but animals from it were eagerly sought 
after on American ranches and Australian farms. He was only 
forty-two years old when he suddenly died on Monday week, at his 
Leominster house. His magnificent herd will be sold by auction in 
the autumn. 

Sir Micuae Hicks-BrEacH ON DAIRY FARMING.——Speaking 
at the Dairy Conference just held at Gloucester, Sir Michael Hicks- 
Beach said it was a common, topic with farmers that profitable corn- 
raising: was now impossible. Nor were they secure from competition 
with regard to live stock, the flocks and herds of America and 
Australia to some extent competing with our own. But farmers had 
or ought to have a great advantage in being on the spot in posses- 
sion oftso perishable a commodity 4s milk, and if they did but use 
all the advantages which science and mechanical improvements 
gave them, as much as farmers had in America and Normandy in 
the saving of Jabour, ‘they might retain the home market, and they 
might enable the manufacturing districts of England to buy sufficient 


‘butter and cheese without making any purchases from abroad.

barometer during the past week ending Wednesday midnight. The fine line 
showsthe shade temperature for the same interval, and gives the maximum and 
minimum readings for each day, with the (approximate) time at which they 
occurred, The information is furnished to us by the Meteorological Office. 

, Remarks.-——Very fine, dry, and, at one time, warm, weather has been expe 
rienced during the past week, these conditions being due tu an anti-cyclone 
which has lain over the North Sea and our islands during the greater part of the 
time. Light or moderate easterly and north-easterly breezes prevailed over 
England, while fresh or strong southerly and north-easterly winds were expe- 
rienced in Scotland. During the first part of the week fine clear skies pre- 
vailed everywhere, while temperature rose from day to day, till on Saturday 
(24th inst.) amaximum reading of 8x° was registered both in Cambridge and in 
London. Sharp frost, however, occurred by night on the grass at several of our 
inland stations. In the course of Saturday night and Sunday (24th and 25th 
inst.), however, some shallow disturbances passed over England in an easterly 
diféction, bringing with them a considerable amount of cloud and some rain to 
the southern portions of the kingdom and Ireland, with a sudden decrease in 
temperature (see diagram). During Saturday night (24th inst.) lightning 
occurred at our southern stations. On Monday and ‘Tuesday (26th and 27th inst.) 
fine clear weather again prevailed, and temperature slightly recovered, but these 
conditions were followed on Wednesday (28th inst.) by a repetition of cloudy and 
cold weather generally. ‘he barometer was highest (30°46 inches) on ‘Thursday

LYKALINE, 
THE APPROVED REMEDY FOR - 
Curing Coughs, Catarrhs, and similar ailments. | Miss 
Melville, 4o, Upper Mansell Street, Swansea, writes to 
Messrs. Leath and Ross :—“ My niece for the past five 
years has suffered from Hay Fever, and could not get 
anything to relieve it until she heard of your GLYKA 
LINE. It has done her much good. Hers wasa 
stubborn case. I send this in common justice that 
others may find the benefit from GLYKALINE,” Ot 
this approved remedy for diseases of the respiratory 
tract, the best and speediest specific for coughs, colds, 
catarrh, asthma, and influenza, another correspondent 
(Mrs. Bruce, Lesarrach, Roscrea) says:—‘It acted 
almost miraculously with me. | Ina bad case of bron- 
chitis I used it only three times, and was perfectly 
cured.” GLYKALINE effectually relieves disorders 
of the mucous membrane, so prevalent at this season, 
and relieves the breathing. For Coughs and Coldsthis 
remedy is unprecedented. “Talon Rouge,” writing in 
Vanity Fair, under date March 17, 1877, says i“ This 
medicine has the valuable property of CurING cold in 
the head. The discoverer ought to be ranked among 
the benefactors of the human race. The other morning 
I woke with the feeling of general depression, the cer- 
tain precursor of a catarrh. I sped to the nearest 
chemist’s, found the longed-for remedy, and BEFORE 
It is called GLYKA- 
LINE.” This independent contributor to Vanity Fair 
testifies that THREE DRors of GLYKALINE taken at 
intervals of an hour will cure the most obstinate cold. 
He bears witness in his letter to the healing properties 
of this remarkable specific, sure and prompt to relieve 
the sufferer, GLY. ‘ALINE is sold in bottles, 1s. 14d.

brated as a sure specific. In many cases a single appli- 
cation effects a permanent cure. Sir James Matheson
