A FRENCH newspaper publishes a history of Mustapha Ben Ismail, the Prime Minister of the Boy of Tunis, which reminds one not only of the career but of the patronymic of another Minister with whom we are more familiar. Mustapha Ben Disraeli—Ismail we mean — was a member of the household of the present ruler in Tunis. The Bey was not unmindful of the activity, intelligence, aud attractive appear- ance of the young Mustapha, and placed him in the corps of Vice-regal Guards. He be- came a lieutenant at seventeen, aud at twenty he was a full-blown colonel. In 18G5 he was made brigadier-general, with the command of the Guards and the palace troops five years afterwards he attained the rank of a general of division; aud in 1873 he was appointed Minister of Marine and Keeper of the Seals. On the fall of Khered- dine Paiha, in 1877, he became Vice- President of the Financial Commission, and a year later he attained to the Premiership and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has amassed much gold, and has many orders, among which we have little doubt there will be one equivalent to that of the Star and Garter of England. He pos- sesses the unbounded confidence of his sovereign, who loses no occasion to signify his regard for his favourite minister. A blind man, as the saying goes, could see in the rise and progress of Mustapha a parallel case to that of a minister whose name has been uppermost in the thoughts and fre- quently on the lips of mankind in these latter days.

MONDAY, MAY 16, 1881. <P IN reference to Tunisian affairs,it is stated that Her Majesty's Government have in sub- stance decided on expressing their opinions on the virtual annexation of Tunis to French Algeria in a despatch which will maintain the ground hitherto undertaken by England as to the status of Tunis but at present nothing further is intended than placing the qualified protest on record. In the mean- time the action taken by the French Govern. ment is not receiving the unanimous in- dorsement of the world.

The telegraphists seem determined, if pos- sible, to precipitate the issues in dispute between themselves and the Postmaster- General. They have repeatedly been told that their cause is being anxiously considered by those who have the sole authority to de- termine the questions in abeyance, but their impetuosity ia getting the better of their judgment. So late as Friday night Mr Fawcett again gave the assurance, from his place in the House of Commons, that the grievances under which the telegraph clerks profess they labour were receiving his best consideration, but this does not satisfy those who appear determined to be dis- satislied, any more than the previous assertions of the Postmaster-General. Ac- cording to a statement, published at the in- stigation of their Parliamentary advocate, Mr Fawcett's answer has produced intense dis- satisfaction among the telegraph clerks all over the country, and serious consequences are feared unless some steps are taken by the Government to allay the agitation which now prevails. Serious consequences, indeed We should like to know who will suffer serious consequences but the agitators them- selves? It is a fortunate circumstance for the interests they espouse so injudiciously that the commanders in the Postal Telegraphic office are able to exercise a little more patience and temper than the subalterns,otherwise the treatment of the demands that are now urged with so much pertinacity, would, there is too much reason to believe, be short, sharp, and decisive. Without intending to be offensive, we would remind the tele- graphists that there is a proverb which used to iind acceptance amongst us in time3 past which insists that ''beggars must not be choosers."

No one can have failed to notice the way in which the Queen has made known to her people the deep esteem and affection she entertains for the memory of the Premier who made her an Empress, and who, in his turn, received at the royal hands the gracious gift of SO earl's coronet. Special directions were given on matters pertaining to the funeral, aud the tomb of the departed states- man was kept open in order that royalty in person might pay its last outward token of respect to all that was mortal of the noble- man. whom his followers are never tired of designating the great earl." Then the Rev. Mr Biagden and Mrs Biagden, who were fortunate in being tho occupants of the Rectory of Hughenden at the time of Lord Beacons- field's demise, afterwards received special invitations to dinner at Windsor Castle, and the fact was duly announced in the Court Circular among ithe other items of courtly intelligence which find their way into the columns of the official record of royal doings, past, present, and to come. And these are not by any means the only proofs that could be furnished of the abnormal interest taken by the highest lady in the land in everything which pertains to—may we be pardoned if there is anything sacrilegious in the expres- sion—Beaconsfieldiana. Perhaps wo ought not to omit to mention that Satur- day's Morning Post announces in pro- minent type and in a prominent place that Her Majesty has accepted a portrait statuette of the late Lord Beaconsfield, modelled by Lord Ronald Gower, and has been pleased to express her gratification at possessing so excellent a likeness of an attached and devoted friend." Of course, there is nothing wrong in all this parade of royal partiality, but in reflecting upon the subject we are set wondering whether the royal sympathy will be equally marked when other great statemen retire from life's fitful struggle, and pass to wHere beyond these voices there is peace 1"

THE reports of the Irish Fisheries In- spectors, just published, are not without interest, especially to those whose business or whose inclinations lead them into direc- tions piscatorial. No fewer than G,459 vessels belonging to Ireland, with a total I crew of 23,679 men and 769 boys, were last year engaged in the trade. The conduct of the fishermen generally is reported to have been" good throughout Ireiand." The re- ports as to the oyster fisheries are especially satisfactory, There have been extensive importations of young oysters from Brittany. which have thriven greatly, and a hope is expressed that this system of importation will be extended.
---THE TREATY BETWEEN GREECE…
THE TREATY BETWEEN GREECE AND TURKEY. No person will be surprised to learn that the Porte has not yet come to terms with Greece. We have several times been told that everything has been finally adjusted, arranged, and settled. WE advise our readers not to believe any reports of the kind, however high the authority on which they are based, until they know that an agreement has actually been sealed. The proverb which reminds us that there is many a slip between the cup and the lip applies specially to all Turkish business. In fact, it is not between the cup and the lip that the slip occurs in this case, but at a much more advanced stage of the proceed- ings. The Turk has a bad habit of entirely swallowing the portion administered, and then returning it. He has evidently a fastidious stomach, and is not to be relied upon. With reference to the agreement with Gtoeoo. we are hqw_ informed that the Po&TB> before finally consenting to the terms pro- posed, intends asking that Greece shall enter into an engagement, guaranteed by the Powers, to renounce any claim to future territorial aggrandisement. It is determined that, if it must yield thus far, it shall yield no further. Not only so; it means to entice the Powers into an obligation to be hereafter the guardians and protestors of the Turkish Em- pire,should any future difficulty arise between it and Greece. This would, no doubt, be very consoling to the SULTAN and his friends. They like to have their continued existence guaranteed. They want to be insured, on easy terms, against all future accidents or evils of any sort. The premium which they offer or, at least, pretend to offer is their signature to certain easy terms with Greece. But even Turkey cannot always have its own way, and we understand that, whatever the other Powers may have to say to this audacious proposal, the British Government will refuse to have anything to do with it. One can hardly imagine that the Porte expects such an un- reasonable condition to be complied with. It is simply a plea for procrastination. Turkey has an idea that the best way to get on in the world and get one's way into the bargain is to wear out everybody's patience. The Turk is nevor too feeble for that. He will surrender one point after another un- til every demand has been conceded, and then, not at the eleventh, but at the twelfth hour, discover some objection which he declares he must ask his frienda or foes to dispose of before he can put his signature to the bond. There are words which one does not care to apply either to individuals or to bodies, imperial or corporate, but it is difficult to refrain from denouncing the Turk as a humbug and an impostor. He can worry and weary, if he can do nothing else. He is evidently the spoiled child of Europe, and no good will ever come out of him. But it is not with Turkey only that there is a threat of a hitch in the proceedings. It is stated that there is an intention or a proposal to make over any new territory which Turkey may have to cede, not to Greece itsolf, but to the King so that if Greece were to become a Republic, the treaty would become null and void. Wo mention this report, but do not ask any one to believe it. There is too much of the incredible about it for us to place any confidence what- ever in its trustworthiness. An arrange- ment like this would be open to many ob- jections. It would be converting what was intended to be an act of justice to a nation into a personal gift. It is not the King of GREECE who is defrauded, but the Greeks themselves. Any restitution must be made to them, not to him. It would be an outrage upon all propriety, and a trans- action brimful of dishonour to compel the Sublime Porte to surrender part of its territory to a person who happens to be a king. It may, of course, be argued that, in the event of GEORGE I. ceasing to reign, the territory would revert to Turkey, that it would be his only so long as he continued upon the throne. Granted but even this is open to the two objections, that it would involve the Powers in an act of interference with a nation's right to determine what its own form of Government shall be, and, further, that it would throw out to the Porte an inducement to fan every murmur of discontent into a flame of open rebellion against the King of Greece, so as to render his position untenable, or provoke him to resign in sheer disgust. We have no expectation that England, at all events, or France will be a party to anything so un- reasonable. We do hope, however, that the vacillation of Turkey will rather provoke the retaliation of the Sybil than wear out the patience of the Powers to such an extent as to induce them to lower their demands. One who deals" itlt Turkey must lean his back upon a rock, and decline to recede one inch.
---THE ROYAL UNIVERSITY OF…
THE ROYAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND. Two important documents have just been published, both of which refer to Irelapd. One of these is the Charter of the Royal University of Ireland, and the other is a list of the names of the Senate of that University. This new institution, which will supplant the Queen's University, is the reply to the wild sectarian clamour of the Irish priesthood. The people of Ireland were sufficiently provided for before, but, for reasons quite unintelligible to any ordinary or extraordinary understanding, the Catholic priesthood in Ireland is entrusted with greater powers and treated with more defer- ence than the priesthood of any other country under heaven. Our Government seems at all times to commit the same error in Ireland as it committed some time ago in the Transvaal. The voice of the noisy few is received for the opinion of the people. Unfortunately those who have least modesty are often mistaken for a multitude. Ireland promised well under the Queen's University system, and the three Queen's Colleges were thriving more and more every year. They were thrown open, on equal terms, to young men of every or of no religious persuasion, and secured for their undergraduates a college discipline and instruction. The priests, however, became alarmed. They:de. cline to allow their young men to be licked into shape by any but mother-church. They seem to think that even algebra and geometry, if taught by a Protestant, would be loathsome. In short, their position is this—Wo decline to accept education of any kind whatever at the hand of Protestants. Yielding to this unreasonable clamour, the British Government has actually destroyed the machinery which was doing excellent work in Ireland, aud established a new uni- versity, without any teaching faculty, in place of one which afforded us a guarrantee that its graduates had been properly qualified by attendance at lectures and regular courses of instruction under duly qualified professors, and in col- leges open to Government inspection and placed under proper supervision. The new University, whose charter is lying before us, is nothing but an examining body empowered to confer degrees. It is to consist of a chancellor, a senate, and graduates. The chancellor is to be appointed by the Crown. The senate is to consist of such per- sons, not exceeding thirty-six in number, as the Crown shall appoint, and in another column will be found the names of those who have already been appointed to consti- tute that body. The University thus con- stituted is to have power to examine for, and after examination to cojifer all such de- grees as can bo conferred in or by any other University in the United Kingdom. These degrees are to be open to both jsexes. Candidates have only to satisfy the Senate that they are qualified in point of learning to obain them. No residence in any college, nor attendance at lectures, or any other course of instruc- tion in the University is to be obligatory upon any candidate for a degree, other than a degree in medicine or surgery. It is also to have power to admit by special grace graduates of other universities in the United Kingdom to similar and equal degrees, and to admit to honorary degrees men of eminent attainments in any branch of knowledge, or in the public ser- vice. It is not, however, to confer any degree or distinction in theology. The first chancellor is the Duke of ABERCORN. It will thus be seen what sort of University this is to be, and how far it approximates in character the London University. We can- not pretend to take notice of every point of interest in the charter, but we must call attention to the 14th section, which em- powers the Seuate to found and endow ex- H hihitions. Scholarships, fellowships, or other 'TJI'IZS* £ QE ARHIOH. fund-*} may by Parliamentary grant, or "devise, donation, or otherwise, be here- H after supplied;" provided that such exhi- bitions, &c., F 1 shall be awarded for profi- ciency in subjects of secular education, "and not in respect of any subject of religious instruction." Here we have the old farce reproduced of a pretence of provid- ing for secular education only, and yet propping up all kinds of religious institutions. These endowments, these Parliamentary grants, in short, may be so applied as to build up and maintain schools and colleges under the sole and absolute control of Irish priests, and for purely theological purposes. This is the answer, even of a Liberal Government, to an unreasoning and unreasonable cry of a Sacerdotal party who demand as a right the educational control of the people, and also freedom of access to the public purse. We havd no hesitation in I condemning the scheme and in expressing the opinion that the mistake will be found out after much mischief .has been done. We shall never have peace in the country until the Government refuses to yield to the imperious demands of Sacerdotalism.
THE GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRICULTURAL…
THE GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRI- CULTURAL SHOW AT MERTHYR. The prospects of the forthcoming Show of the Glamorganshire Agricultural Society at Merthyr, in the early part of August next, are oi the most gratifying nature. A meeting of the local commit* tee was held on Friday evening, at the offices of Messrs Taylor and Forrester, when the High- Constable, Mr David Williams, presided over a good attendance of members. The progress that been made with the gathering of subscriptions and other preliminary mattess is all that can be desired. It has been calculated that a local fund of about £300 will be required, and the statement was made to the meeting that £280 of this had already been promised. It has been decided that the show will take place in the Penydarren Park on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of August, upon the same piece of ground as the Licensed Victuallers' athletic sports are wont to be held. Further arrangements were considered for making this annual county show a complete success, Mr S. V. Huntley, the general secretary, being present, and assisting the local committee. A list of special prizes of local interest was arranged, which will shortly be published, and other matters pertaining to the success of the show were dis- cussed. It is only fair to the Merthyr people to say that, having once taken a matter in hand, they devote themselves to it to the utmost of their ability, and from present appearances, with favourable weather, it seems certain that the show of the Glamorganshire Agricultural Society for 1881 will compare well with any of its prede- cessors,
-----__-THE HIGH-TOHSTABLESHIP…
THE HIGH-TOHSTABLESHIP OF MEltTHYU. The office of High-Constable of Merthyr is actually going a-begging, no gentleman being found willing to come forward and occupy the post 110 efficiently filled by Mr David Williams for the past three years. The third year of Mr Williams's occupation of the office came to a close on Saturday, when it was again his duty to tender his resignation to the magistrates, and nominate a successor, or rather to submit a list of three gentle- men from whom a successor should be appointed. A number of the leading residents of the town were tried, but in vain none of them would consent to undertake the duties of the office for the next twelve months, although it is to be hoped that this difficulty will be soon overcome. The duties of the high-constable for the district of Caerphilly Higher are purely of an honorary nature, although the high-constable stands iu the same position to Merthyr as a mayor does to a corporate town. The fact seems to be that Mr David Williams, during the three years that that he has filled the office, has worked so energetically for the good of the town, and sub- scribed so liberally towards everything that has been going forward that other gentlemen hesitate in succeeding him, especially as the forthcoming autumn promises to be an important season, not only for Merthyr, but for South Wales generally, when the iron metropolis should be well repre. sented. The question who should be the next high* constable was the general topic of conversation at Merthyr during the whole of Saturday. The present High Constable interviewed a number of gentlemen with the view to getting them to allow themselves to be nominated for the Office,, but hit efforts met with no success. Amongst those asked to allow themselves to be nominated were Mr Gwyliin C. James, solicitor Mr D. Rees Lewis, Registrar of the County Court Mr Wm. Mere- dith and Mr J. D. Williams, jewellers. Probably during t e next day or two either Mr David Williams will be induced to again accept the office, or some other gentleman will be found ready to come forward and take his place. At present, however, the people of Merthyr are in the position of a flock of sheep without a shepherd, a state of things which it is to be hoped will not long exist in so important a, district,

& WHILE on the subject of favourite ministers it may not be without interest to record the important fact which has been flashed from one end of the country to the other by means of the electric telegraph. On Saturday the two favourite peacocks of the late Lord Beaconsfield were forwarded from Hughenden Manor to Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle, by her desire. After their arrival, Her Majesty, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold drove to the Royal aviary to see the birds. Happy I birds, gratified sovereign The strutting bipeds, our readers will remember, I proved quite a God-send to the graphic writers who were despatched to Hughenden to record the pomp and circum- I stances attltiding the obsequies of the late earl. Their peculiar cries—discordant as they are—were duly noted, and their gaudy plumage was the subject of such themes as never were indited to peacocks since they have been known to ornithologists, I And now they have been made the recipients of royal favour, and a new era has been opened up to the birds which have hitherto been only noted for their brilliant plumage, and their utter uselessness in the domestic economy of the nation.
CRICKET 'It? S0DTH WALES.
CRICKET 'It? S0DTH WALES. With the commencement of the cricket seasoD, it may not be out of place to call attention to the comparatively backward state of the game in South Wales. The average play of the various clubs shows in particular a great inferiority in bowling and, indeed, it may be said that the ball is seldom handled in a thoroughly skilful style on Welsh ground, excepting when a man trained in a university field makes his appearance amongst local players. The game of cricket is certainly in its infancy in South Wales, when the men produced by the several counties are compared with those which a single county in England, such, for instance, as Nottingham, turns out. It is to be hoped therefore that that kind of preparation and practice which has led to proficiency, and even perfection, elsewhere, will be more strictly fol- lowed by local clubs, if the "good and manly game" still deserves the devotion which tradition appears to claim for it. Any objection to the cricket field on account of its "levelling tendency" would be laughed at in these days; and against a complaint of the kind there might be put the counterbalancing assertion that the majority of men famous in the cricket field make their mark in after life. One of the first matches, if not the first match of the season in South Wales, Was played on Saturday between the Swansea Club and the Local Working Men's Club. Both these clubs, as well as the Morriston team, are entered for the challenge cnp, and thus it will be seen three clubs belonging to the same town are competing against one another. This arrangement may claim the recommendation that it is productive of practice and competition but it need scarcely be pointed out that Swansea would sti nd a much better chance of winning the cup with a team picked from these three clubs. The challenge cup is now held by Cardiff, which club beat Llandovery College at the last final.
CARDIFF BOAUD OF GUAltDIASS.
CARDIFF BOAUD OF GUAltDIASS. THE PREVALENCE OF FEVER. The weekly meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians was held on Saturday. Mr C. W. David presided, and there was a large attendance of guardians. — The Master of the Workhouse reported that during the week there had been 30 admissions, 24 discharges, 1 birth, 5 deaths, leaving 371 in the house, an increase of 4 on the corresponding week of last year. Vagrants re- lieved, 27 corresponding week, 36.—The Super*" intendent at Ely Schools reported that there had been a decrease of 23 in the number of children in that institution compared with the number in the previous year.—It appeared that the out-door relief amounted to £209 Od 5.1 amongst 2,630 persons, whereas in the corresponding week £298 9s Id had been distributed amongst 2,962 persons.—Dr. Horder reported that two cases of small-pox had been imported into the town last week, and, considering the prevalence ot the disease in foreign ports, and the epidemic in London, it was, the doctor thought, advisable to et the unvaccinated vaccinated with as little delay as possible. During the past year a large number of new houses had been built in Roath and Cathays, and, as he believed, a large number of children were unvacoinated, he suggested that there should be another visitation of the public schools, After discussion the matter was, on the suggestion of Mr T. W. Jacobs, referred to the Visiting Committee, with instructions, that immediate steps should be taken.—Mr Ramsdale mentioned that typhoid fever was very prevalent in Milton-street, the condition of whioh he des- cribed as fdthy. In four or five families where, there were in one case as many as many as 10 per- sons, typhoid fever prevailed.—In consequence of thi9,peciKl instructions were issued to the medical officer, and as the board were m. formed that persons suffering from Infectious diseases came to the workhoue. and Applied for relief in the ordinary way, waitmg.tn the pas- sages with tficmher applicants, the relieving officers were ordered to inform persons so suffering "that they would be proceeded against if they came to the board-room.—1» regard to the proposed new hospital at Ely Schools,the liocal Government 1 Board wrote making a number of suggestions as to alterations in the plans, and the communication was referred to a committee.—It was stated that the police objected to carrying on the duties of I issuing tickets of admission to the tramps' ward, and as their doing so was considered by the board to have a deterrent effect, the matter was referred to a committee for consideration.—There was no I other business of public interest.
- LONDON LETTER.?i:
LONDON LETTER.? i: [SPECIALLY WIRED.] V r rf [81 OUR GALLERY CORRESPONDENT.] LONDON, SUNDAY Niainv « A little cliqile has been formed with th8 object of defeating the known intention the Government, and the great desire of th6( majority of the House, to bring to a cloS8¡ to-morrow night the debate on the second reading of the Land Bill To-morroif will be the seventh night of the discus- sion, which has been unprecedentedlf dull and profitless. At the outset an evil fashion manifested itself to hold back, wait- ing till someone else should speak first. Ot opportunities thus created, some membert whom the House does not particularly care to hear availed themselves and have delivered long speeches. Now those author- ities of more or less weight who might reasonably claim to be heard are smitten with panic at the threatened closing of the debate. There was on Friday night a great rush for the Speaker's eye. Some of those who failed to catch it have agreed among them- selves that in the interest of the Stat. it would be wrong to force a divi- sion to-morrow night, that is unless these gentlemen have delivered theil speeches, a circumstance which from theif number is physically impossible. They wiU noisily protest against the division, but it is to be hoped Mr Gladstone will stand firm. Further debate on the second reading ía simple waste of time. A very painful rumour is current in naval circles. It is stated that there is reason to believe that:the destruction of the Doterel was a wilful and murderous act, TillI inevitable Fenian darkly turns up and ia credited with thus avenging centuries of wrong done to Ireland. I am afraid that those inclined to believe sensational stories of this kind will not think it important to know that the story is utterly discredited at the Admiralty. It is obvious on the face of it that it is the merest conjecture. Since the bare telegraphic account of the disaster no information has reached the Admiralty, nor is it possible that more can be known till the arrival of the commander and the few survivors. Very little has been heard of late of M* Edward Freeman. He naturally subsided with the turmoil of Eastern affairs that was maintained by the late Ministry, a circum- stance, perhaps, on the whole, not to be poignantly regretted. Mr Freeman's sympa- thies were on the right side, but when he got on politics of later date than the Norman Conquest he was apt to grow a little excite- able. It was in one of these frenzies that he enriched English phraseology with the eloquent and graphic phrase The unspeakable Turk." Mr Freeman will shortly be heard of in America, where he will find much to please him. He is going out partly on account of his health, but principally in fullfilment of a long-cherished desire to set life under a Republic. Like many English- men of mark who make this tour, Mr Free- man will do something more than clear hu travelling expenses by lecturing. Whilst we thus for a time lose Mr Free- man, America will temporarily give us back Mr Goldwin Smith. A letter received in London this week from the Professor an- nounces his proximate arrival, and," he adds, I mean to make a decent stay this time." Mr Goldwin Smith has not long emigrated. But in the whirl of life he haa been gone long enough to be forgotten in many circles where he was once an active power. To the average reader n. is perhaps best known as the somewhat priggish, Professor of whom mention is made in f( Lothair." Mr Gold- win Smith could not extend to Mr Disraeli that passive toleration which many Liberals found possible. He was in the habit of saying what he thought in passages thai would sound shocking to the ear accustomed to the chorus sung around the grave of Lore Beaconsfield. Mr Disraeli took note of thii and paid off the score in Lothair." Mr Tom Collins returns to the House with two sources of reputation. They are neither political nor sectarian. I' They are purely personal. Every- one knows his habit, and everyone knows his umbrella. From a time beyond [ which the-memory of man runs not to the contrary, he has carried about with him in foul weather and in fine-a special cotton umbrella, which once was black, which lately had faded into green, which now has advanced into a sky grey. No umbrella that stands in the members' rack has less the look of being* an aesthetic umbrella than Mr Tom Collins's, and yet its colours are now such aa commend themselves to the admiration of the aesthetic school. It will be welcomed | as a kind of old friend at St. Stephen's, where it ranks with Lord Brougham's traditional plaid trousers, and with Mr War- ton's irrepressiblesDuff-box. MrTomCollins!« habit is known in the House, while hia umbrella aooompanies him outside it. Hia habit is, whenever he has a chance, to facili- tate a count out. There were occasions in the present session when he might almost have been an obstructive. It is amusing to see how Tory papers giver away Cabinet seals. Here is the latest news taken from an evening print. Mr Gladstone is going to resign. When he does we shall want a new Chancellor of the Exchequer, and we shall find one in Mr Childers. Sir William Harcourt will then be advanced a step, and the place of Hom6 Secretary will be vacant. The Attorney-General [ is designated for that place,and thus the chain is "complete. It is well known that Sir Henry James was anxious for a political career, and probably would willingly have taken the duties and the cares of the Home Office. Thia was said very much when the Cabinet was first formed, and has since been often repeated,and it is perhaps the only piece of foundation for the Prime Minister's retirement. Of course the retirement would mean a withdrawal to the inactivity of a peerage. There was a most singular meeting held at Lady Harberton's in the course of tha at Lady Harberton's in the course of the week. The meeting was not singular, but the object was. Everyone has heard of the tight lacing of thirty years ago. It was amongst the puzzles connected with womati which were incomprehensible to men, It seems that in the thirty years we have ad- vanced, and that compression is not now limited to the narrow zone to which it used to be applied. The whole costume is at dangerous pressure, and Lady Harberton's guests met to consider whether a mora sanitary style of dress might not be promoted." This singular self- denying audience may produce great results. The German ladies once thought— surely, so far as one can judge by appear- ance, without any foundation—that their dresses were too costly and too fashionable. They formed themselves at Berlin into a society to repress such luxurious vanity. It was undesirable that either a lady or her garments should burst. The ladies deter- mined to keep their dressmakers' bills, and those whose accounts were excessive had to pay fines. I believe the society became bankrupt from the wholesale mulcts, which all the members gladly paid. Yesterday was the private view of the New Art Gallery, the United Arts Gallery, it is called, which was opened with great eclat. On Thursday there was a banquet, at which Cardinal Manning,Sir Garnet Wolseley,Lord Ronald Gower,and many celebrities in art and literature took part. Toasts and speeches and felicitations were the order of the niglu. On Monday the collection opens to the public. It is what it professes it be, cos. mopolitan. All schools are represented. There is a picture by Gussow, which made some of our academiciaus less convinced of English superiority when •.h,v^n-ipected it this afternoon. But the. interest- 111 the gallery devoted to the f Tristram Ellis.- Here we have at osu;o the singular combination of novelty, instrucUvLsness, and art. The painter travelled from Alexandria to Beyroufc, visited Jerusalem, skirted tha Dead Sea, crossed the Euphrates at Aleppo, where famine had already decimated the inhabitants floating on a raft down the Tigris. He reached Nineveh in the streets he found the poor dying of starvation, and our consul giving them what relief he could. Baalbek waa to be visited and Damascus, whoso white walls, turrets, and domes, rising out of those luxuriant gardens, an oasis in the surroundiug desert, caused the eastern ladies to name it a pearl amongst emeralds. Wherever Mr Ellis went he set up his easel, and in these ninety drawings perhaps the most striking characteristic is their truth. It is this that give them their interest. To wander round this gallery is to read a well- written book of travels by a conscienlioryB, diligent, and observant critic. There is ne attempt to soften down or sweeten away. The artistic instinct lias guided the se:ccliou, but the choice once made, the full truth ia. picturesquely exhibited. A collection like this serves at onQ to intent, to instruct iaftd to delight*
