european aristocracy to cracy particularly when the chief wealth ol 01 of the latter lies in their title and it is singular that people raised in a republic should intertas inter tai iain n such an extremely snobbish adoration for NAMES WITH HANDLES to them in the united states every man occupying an official position expects to have the name of his office tacked on to lits hs own name in addition to the majors colonels captains senators hOBo judges superintendents managers etc we near receiver this collector that constable so and so such a one every evera common school teacher and fiddle de ae dee musician and squib firer and corn extractor is a fio eio lessor every tooth puller a doctor every village justice a judge and every head of a war debating society a president this in a land sacred to the simplicity of republicanism Is very ludi ludicrous erous TITLE WORSHIP is almost universal in dom and plain mr is used in monarchial england in nine t tases ases out of ten where some high sounding appellation would be heard in america when a prince or a duke a lord or a count flashes upon U S society the giddy moths of girls are dazzled most to death by bv the glitter and there is nothing n so attractive to a gushing society ale belle in the land of tue the baars and stripes as a sprig of some foreign order ot of I 1 nobility I 1 I 1 v TUB THE EARL was to marry miss grant that was settled such a charming iu match atch she rich he titled perfect fitness of things is it not cairus cairns made his girl tine line presents with which of course she was enraptured there were strong stories about tile the prospective bridegroom hut they did not count until the bills f fur ur some of the costly gins gials were sent to mrs grant for payment then there was closer inquiry next a coolness the earls made all his real faults apparent and so the affair was said to be I 1 I 1 off a although I 1 the earls mother ano his has pro properly perl offered to help him out it if the marriage was celebrated the fo following I 1 low conversation is reported to have taken place between the prance OF WALES and miss grant at a private ball when are yoni to be married miss grant 1 I 1 do not know your royal R highness 1 gh 71 how you do not know 1 11 I simply do not know have you then broken off the engagement ga gement would it be taken very much against me it if I 1 were to do so not in the least my enild the princess and I 1 will stand standby by you this is said to have helped materially in the case society will follow the lead of the otince and not frown upon the dissolution of the announced engagement alfriend A friend at court is ia always considered valuable and when wh enthat that friend is the heir apparent it must be apparent to every one that miss grant is all right in that quarter the prince has become quite popular of late his hia fast and loose habits are seldom mentioned he is cheered heartily wherever he appears and he is regarded as the coming KID king there is a rumor that the queen thinks thing of abdicating in his bis favor but as the court papers say I 1 the report lacks confirmation fir 11 royalty still keeps a tight hold of the english heart and there is farless far less likelihood of a revolution in favor of republicanism than iban there was a few years ago THE POLITICAL CONFLICT over the question of home rule Is the exciting topic of the times in the british isles the split in the liberal cam campis i s fraught with danger to eng 1211 lands greatest statesman and the idea of the dismemberment of the empire which is diligently held up op to scare the 1 loyal all people of england is likely to damage 1 LI 0 age Glad stones prospects of success of course his enemies as well as his friends know very well that he is not aiming at anything of the kind but is to 10 revolution and attempts at irish independence pende pen dence nep of the british crown that the premier urges a measure of justice to ireland the threatened coalition of unionists as the recalcitrant liberals artfully call themselves anil and the conservatives who will use all their forces and spend lots of money to defeat their hated bated foe will be very hard for Gladstone to overcome THE ORANGE opposition though in itself insignificant cuts quite an important figure in theaon met it is represented that the protestants te in ulster will be brought under the domination of the power if a parliament is established in dublin and the prejudices of auff popery fanatics in england and scotland and ahsu iu in wales are being stirred sin red up against home rule on that flimsy pretext tue tile un of the it ish tor for s jf if government and the pretended danger of papal predominance wilt will be urged vehemently in the political campaign and cannot fail tr to have great effect aud and either keep many people from the polls who would vote for gladstone or win votes for either wing of his cunning opponents the issue is regarded as extremely doubtful for against the states mans great popularity are the influences described and the power of bt the chief portion of the british bergy cergy THE ENGLISH ELECTION SYSTEM has some advantages over the american the co country u la is not kept in agitation for any lengthy period as in the united states everything is arranged with commendable precision the word goes to the sheriffs of the various shires or counties they at once issue writs for tho the eie election cLion they are received by the returning officers in the election districts each eab ot these calls a public meeting of the free and independent voters candidates are nominated at these meetings and a show of hands bands is called for it there is no opposition or the show of hands bands is not disputed that settles the matter without further trouble the presiding officer declares the candidi ue duly et el acted and he receives his certificate if a demand is made for a ballot a day is set and the election is contested at the polls often members are returned without any balloting this saves much excite excitement ment con controversy troverse tro versy and elpe expanse use in about three weeks the agony is all over and the country calms down into ardi daiy conditions this is far better than the protracted political campag campaigns ns that keep the united states in a ferment for months and disturb everything thin movable the dissolutions to which parliament is subject on the other hand are not incident to the american system congressmen are elected for a fixed term and no appeals to the country unsettle the regular sessions of our national legislature if gladstone is defeated and saulsbury should succeed him another dissolution witti wita its consequent election may be the result within a year tor for this irish question has to be settled and it cannot be shirked by tory whig or liberal or any coalition that may be formed THE LADIES have not yet been permitted to come to the front in politics but they do a 0 0 d deal of work behind the scenes ih abey e y cannot vote but they can influence voters and many an election has been won by the tories tones through the active part t taken by titled tilled names in the canvass their influence will be felt in the present campaign and the conservatives rely deiy an on the potency of ladies tongues to win over doubtful burgesses and hesitating householders there are several doctors of the foiter sex in england but the first full 1 LADY SURGEON in great britain has just received her diploma or letters testimonial of the ir asti

fixed questions are given as arranged and free there is little real education e exhibited the lack of understanding a attending tt ending correct replies to the queries ot of the examiner is soon exposed when interrogations are made outside of the regular pro gramme this was illustrated recently in a funny way at a school board examination here the proposition read off by the inspector wast describe some effects of the proceedings under queen mary ane regulation answer was duly given in concert many of the bishops were deprived of their sees but a curious member of the board asked the meaning of this reply there was an awkward silence for a time but an an being put up and blurted forth for til in a confident tone had eyes put out A case of miscarriage OF JUSTICE was brought to light a short time ago wh ell shows how careful courts should be in condemning accused persons on slight evidence A man named david wiley who was employed as groom to a retired merchant at ealing in Surrey was charged with high highway way robbery his master testified under oath that he was attacked by wuey wiley on a dark night and robbed of a bag containing one hundred and eighty pounds the man was convicted and sentenced to tive years penal servitude for robbery with violence commencing his term in chatham convict prison last february since then the prosecutor has committed suicide A post mortem mot tent examination showed that his ais brain was diseased the indications were that he imagined the robbery supposed to have been committed commett d b by his groom the case was reopened re ocene opened i there w was as no corroborating evi evidence dence against him the rome home secretary has released him and scat boat him home to his bis wife and children without a stain upon his character but what can compensate him for the injustice from which he and his bis family have suffered A SERIOUS CASE in a former letter the wonderful journey of miss was described bed she drifted in a deserted vessel from the across the sea in a storm to scandinavia an almost pi similar rallar i case which might have bave been very serious for one of the ahe parties immediately interested occurred a few weeks ago A young frenchman who liven in the island of jersey took his bis girl lor a boat ride on the briny waters of the english channel while rowing he lost an oar jumped overboard to recover it the wind sprang up and the boat drifted out to sea he was una reach it so turned round and swam ashore his satorv was received with wilh scornful incredulity some soldiers bad heard or thought they had bad heard beard a cry of 11 MURDER on the evening of the events othe young fellow was arrested and charged with wilful murder no motive could be alleged tor the crime but the circumstances were suspicious and the testimony of the sold soldiers lers was damaging no tidings being received of the girl garl or the boat boa he be was held for the crime though lie he stoutly his innocence but ant at length word came f from rom newfoundland that the brigantine zambia ol 01 tt st malo had bad picked up the girl two days after the accident in open sea and h wa taken across theAt lautic from whence she ww wa returned retura d to her home in the channel islands Island 3 miss journeaux had an experience almost equal to that of miss but her lover had bad by far the worst of it if she hadi not been RESCUED from her perilous position by what means could the accused have cleared himself from the terrible charge against him he might have escaped the penalty of the law hut but the dark cloud of suspicion would have cast its shadow upon him for a lifetime and if the boat had been found without its mccu ant is it not quite likely that he would tave fallen another victim ato to circumstantial EVIDENCE in utah it only takes common rumor burnor reputation in the neigh neighborhood loor bood to con victa mormon of a certain manufactured offense and the evidence in the Journe journeaux auy case would be considered enough to prove guilt beyond question with a jury packed to convict THE CRUSADE appears to go on as vindictively as ever zion is truly passing through a severe test it is gratifying to see the fortitude exhibited by the souls who are tried and their fidelity to the principles which god has revealed for the obedience ot of his children the reply ot the prisoners to governor WL gives elves great irrean satisfaction to the elders and saints in toese lands and there is no shrinking here on account of the difficulties at home the june company is a largeant large and good one and has departed in excellent spirits all who remain look forward with anxiety to the time when they can follow and none are more desirous for zions presence and welfare than EXILE |
