THE ISLE OF MAN. Curious Features of the Government. Island's The Covrrnor IHHpcnwt .luntlce In Peraon ami I'renltl.K Over tii 'urta of l.nw-OutMT Ancient I ilntouie. The Islof Man is a museum of t-im-slitutional antiquities. L'sapvs which ivople associate with the political his ti.rv f KiiLTlaiiil in the seventeenth, the fifteenth anl even the thirteenth century are there to be fouml side by side with the mtt modern experi ments, .'.ays the New York Kvenintf l'ost. As in the Teat neig'hliorinjr island in the early yenrs of William III . there is still no cabinet and the povernor.has a real power of veto; us there under Klizahcth, Jxilitical parties still have no existence; as was largely the case in Knplanil in the later Mid dle Atfcs. the revenue is derived from permanent customs duties and the legislature "cannot stop the machinery of government by withholding? sup plies." The house of keys has not yet what the house of commons acquired under Henry IV., the exclusive riyht ot' ori'inat inT money bills: and it may east some liirht on the still uncertain question whether the two Mn-Iish houses were ever united to learn that "when the tynwald." the Manx legis lature, "meets for financial purposes, the two branches sit together." We may (,ro even behind the period when parliament was forming itself, to the H.-riod when royal courts of justice were tirst making their appearance; for in Man. the governor still dispenses justice in person, ami pres'ules. like Henry 1 1., over the courts of law. And. tiually. the. open-air meeting of the tynwald on St. ,lohn"s day for the promulgation of the statut-s Kissed dimntr the year has an ascct so archaic that even courts of law seem modern in comparison. The annals of the island, in like man ner, read like an epitome of Ilritish history, thoujrh with the sequence of movements strangely distorted. The strutftfle between the saintly Itishop Wilson and the jrovernors in the early years of the eighteenth century over ecclesiastical discipline involved the same principles, and even touched some of the precise questions that had been at issue in the contest between 1 Socket and Henry II.; and the words of Uov. Home maintaining that "the rirht. honorable the lord of this isle" the earl of Iterby was "chief of the holy church of this island," sound like an echo of Henry VI 1 1.'s great act of su premacy. The Manx "act of settle ment" in 17ti::, "converting a whole na tionttf leaseholders into perpetual ten ants at a low quit-rent." presents an obvious parallel to recent Irish legis lation. The refusal of the Knfflish povernment in ls.is to allow the estab lishment of an elected chamber, and its subsequent change of attitude, may almost be regarded as a mere reflection of the course of contemporary I Sritish colonial policy. To the statesmen of Downing street the case of Canada and the case of Man presented features of similarity. A country like this had an obvious claim upon a povcrnor who was also a historian of repute, and the present volume shows that Spencer Walpole has not been deaf to its appeal. It could be wished that he had not yielded to the temptation to pive his look an attractive title. It. is, of course, a .trikinp thinp that here, almost in the peoprapliieal center. o.f the I!riti-li isles, an island not so larpe as an av erape Knplish county should have re tained its own legislature, while Scot land and Ireland, incomparably more powerful, should have lost theirs. It is interest inp to know that the ten dency durinp the last titty years has been toward preater autonomy; that when the hou.-e of .keys was reformed in lsi'i'.l tynwald was intrusted with larper financial powers, and that "there h an inereasinp indisposition on the part of the tynwald to allow the Knplisli parliament to legislate" for them. The feelinp of nationality, even when it asserts itself in a Very small lield. is the same feelinp at bot tom ai that which we ail in ire in the case .of (iermany or Italy, and always needs to be taken into account. lS.it there are two considerations which prevent even tho.se who sympathize with the demand for Irish home rule from draxvinir any lessons from the constitution of Man. The tirst is the character of that constitution itself. The house f keys, thouph it has been allowed a voice in the disposition of a certain part of the public revenue, is very far indeed from controllinp the purse-string's; the upper house, or council, possesses coordinate authority with it. and seven out of the eipht members of the council are nominated by the crown, while the povernor. a nominee of the Knplisli ministry, pos sesses a ripht of veto which he would not hesitate to use. And. in the sec ond place, the population numWrs only some fifty-four thousand. In spite, therefore, of its separate history and curious constitution, its iiolitical interests cannot help bcinp on vcrv much the same scale as those which tind expression in an Knplisli munici pal or county council. , PERSONAL POINTS.

It is estimated that the late Georpe I. Seney pave away, durinp his life time, at least fJ.lMMI.OlK) for charitable purposes. He considered money hoar.l inp the danper of the tine, and looked upon himself merely as the preat trus tee of his preat wealth.
