Bat it is not too late yet for plenty of cold weather, must not be irritated. Bismarck’s tend. has caused his illness, Temper will tell bait in this country in 1880. This is not so much as usual, bat it is guile enough to keep up with the development of the country. Railroads that pay their debts, declare dividends and improve their Hoes are the healthy ones. Two thou. sand. miles of railway were built in the south in 1689, Parnell’s friends say, in brief, that the divorce suit .of Capt. O'Shea, which makes him cowespondent, is only an- other attempt of the Tories to ruin his imfluence with the Irish people, That further, Parnell was to have married Shea's sister long ago, but the young lady died, and Pamell has befriended Ler brother ever since, even to the point of getting him a seat in parliament. But he wartned a serpent that has turned and stung him. Murat, the clouded princeling in France where princes are no good, has come down from his lofty pinnacle and now says he will take Miss Caldwell and anything she will giwe him.

But in Turkey, when expensive jew. cls are presented, it is the custom on the death of the recipient to re tarn them to the donor. Consequent ly Mr. Cox's curiously interesting deco rations must now go back to Turkey, whore they car be given to some one else. It will be a good stroke for our govern- ment to have it understood that she will stand by Creat Britain in the trouble with Portugal. Our four new cruisers, “the squadron of evolution,” are now at Lisbon in company with a number of vessels of the English navy. The unity of interests of all the English speaking peoples of the globe is an ideal whose practicability cannot be too much in- sisted on. The Pall Mall Gazette mays of the proposed agreement of the United States to stand by Great Britain in the Portuguese matter: “Everything which reminds the world that the republic and the empire regard the Baglish speaking race a8 one entity, with common inter- ests and common objects, is good.” The entity of the English speakirg race is, in fact, the most splendid dreasa of modern tines.
