*<MT son," said a doting father, who

A Lancaster young lady playfully

GLADSTONE ON THE GLAL\
STONES.
WHAT THE PREMIER THINKS OF HIS TWO
RISING SONS.
From his recent Speech at Hawarden.
Taking the case of these three mem
bers of the family together, I find in a
newspaper this moruing another case
of three members of a family (hear,
hear), and I find it had been made the
subject of a very clever epigram, which
I will read to you. It refers to the
family of Allsopp (laughter), well
known as great producers of the valu
able commodity termed beer. (Laugh
ter.) They have not been altogether
fortunate in the elections, and the la.-4
of them is an opponent of my eldest
son in East Worcestershire, which
gives me a particular interest in these
verses (laughter) :
There were three jolly Allsopps,
Who sailed forth to woo ; _
One came to grief at Droitwich —
Then there were two.
Two jolly Allsoppe,
Still for Parliament did run;
Hut Stafford declined Charlie —
Then there was one.
But one jolly Allsopp
Would yet keep up the run;
When East Worcester's settled liiin
Then there'll he none.
(Roars of laughter.) I cannot make
verses on the spur of the moment, but
I should be tempted to try it if I had
a minute or two more. (Laughter.)
Against these three jolly Allsopps I
will set three Gladstones. They sal
lied forth to woo, and one of them has
been returned for the county of Mid-
Lothian (loud cheers); that makes one
upon the score. The second, who is
now fighting gallantly in Worcester
shire, will, I think, before long have
disposed of the third All sop]).
(Cheers.) That will make two, and I
should not wonder if, before you are
many months or weeks older, some
thing or another should turn up which
would make a place, and an honorable
place, for the defeated candidate for
Midddlesex (loud cheers), and then
the Muse will favor us again; poetry
will come out in our favor; for then
there will be three. (Loud cheers.)
VANDERBILTS NOTIONS.
If a man like Mr. Yanderbilt ex
changes, from speculative or other mo
tives, an 8 per cent, stock for a 4 per
cent, bond, there are thousands upon
thousands of people who cannot afford
to live on 4 per cent, upon their capi
tal, and who will take up his 8 per
cent, stock, even at the risk of some
new job or dodge being introduced
into the management of the property.
He sold out his stock as a bobtail
swell sells his old clothes before he
goes to Paris to get a new equipment.
Poor people gladly buy them and feel
quite comfortable in them. The whole
secret of the recent stock transactions
of the /great untaxed" lies partly in
his fear of being taxed some day, and
partly in the aping mania which took
possession of him during his recent
visit to Europe. Since he breakfasted
with Rosa Bonheur he has become
crazy on the subject of art; and since
he heard that the Rothschilds, the
Foulds, and that class of people specu
late only with one-half of their capital
and keep the other half exclusively in
vested in Government securities, he
has thought it fashionable to adopt the
same policy.
But, rich as he is, he represents but
an infinitesimal portion of the wealth
of this country ; and as long as the
development of the continent Jcontin
ues, every railroad honestly built and
honestly conducted must inevitably
pay handsome dividends. The thou
sands of emigrants weekly reaching
these shores have to be transported, as
also the product of their labor, and the
forty odd million people working on
the rich soil of this immense continent
cannot help accumulating savings,
which must, in their turn, seek good
investments. Stock jobbing may cre
ate breaks and panics in Wall street,
but nobody except people gambling on
small margins need lose anything by
these jobbing schemes, whether they
be conceived by Gould, Yanderbilt, or
anybody else.
THE PHILADELPHIA WOOL
EXHIBITION.
The International Exhibition of
sheep wool and wool products, under
the auspices of the Pennsylvania State
Agricultural Society, will be held in
the Permanent Exhibition Building,
Fairmount Park, in September next.
It is said by the officers of the society
that the money realized at the fair held
last year will enable them to offer un
usual premiums for all class of stock
and machinery. Replies to circulars
and letters addressed to prominent
stock growers throughout the country
already indicate that the exhibits will
be so numerous that it will be difficult
to accommodate them all, unless the
exhibits already in the building are
packed close together. The aggregate
of prizes to be offered is $40,000, in
cluding $8,500 for cattle, $7,000 for
horses (racing prohibited), sfi,soo for
sheep, $5,000 for swine, $1,500 for
poultry, $2,600 for the dairy, $4,000
for tools, implements, and machinery,
$3,000 for State, county, club, and in
dividual exhibits of farm, orchard, and
garden products, and $4,000 for wool
and wool products and other manufac
tured goods. The sheep prizes are,
for flocks $450 and $250, and for ram
and five of his get, $250, S2OO, etc.
No officers or members of the State So
ciety will be appointed for service on
the juries of a ward.
TORY AND LIBERAL.
A Tribune subscriber asks the favor
of an explanation of the terms "Tory"
and "Liberal" as applied to the polit
ical parties in England. The word
"Tory" was derived from a term ap
plied as Roger North says, to "the
most despicable savages among the
wild Irish;'' and was first used in lf>79
during the struggle for the exclusion
, of the Duke of York from the line of
succession, the name being given to
the followers of the Duke because he
, favored the Irishmen. Johnson's def
inition of a tory was this : "One who
adheres to the ancient Constitution of
: the State and the apostolical hierarchy
of the Church of England." The word
"Whig" is a contraction of "Whigga
more," which in the South of Scotland
i useil to denote a drover. In 1684, a
i party of Covenanters attacked Edin
\ burg, and after this "Whiggamore's
• campaign" the word was taken up as
, a term of reproach and applied to the
' opponents of the Court. Since the
i passage of the Reform Measure of this
[ I century the political successors of the
- j two parties have been known as "Con-
IBervatives" and "Liberals."

GOOD DAY FOR GUDGEONS. I BANKS.
''Hi, sonny," said a keen-looking
Chicago business man ; "what are you
looking for ? Let me see that letter."
"No, I can't let you have that let
ter ; there's bonds in it."
"Why, I 've been waiting for you
this half hour to bring me those bonds
I bought 'em of what's his name."
Upon this the lad took out a big en
velope marked "J. Smith Esq., pres
ent;" in the upper corner, "$2500 U.
S. 5 205," and in the lower eoriier (
"commission due, $5. Please remit by
bearer."
"That's all right, sonny," said the
keen-looking business man, as he
hauled out a scantily furnished purse,
and gave the boy a live dollar bill and
a quarter, and said :
"There, sonny, that quarter is to re
ward you for your cleverness and
fidelity and putting the envelope in
his breast pocket he walked leisurely
round the corner. Not till lie had
reached Union i'ark did he draw the
precious envelope from his pocket and
tear it open, lie then found that the
envelope contained a copy of the Chi
cago Times, which he could have pur
chased at the office for five cents.
"The lish are bitting very numer
ously to-day," said "sonny," taking
another big envelope from his pocket.
NEW PUZZLE WITII WORDS.
Students at the Institute of Tech
nology have designed a rival to the
Gem puzzle, which is beginning to ex
cite considerable interest about town.
Given two words of an equal number
of letters, the problem is to change one
letter at a time of the first so as to
make a legitimate English word, con
taining the alterations until the de
sired result is attained. The conditions
are that only one letter shall be altered
to form each new word, and that none
but words that can be found in Eng
lish dictionaries shall lie used. Here
are some examples of the changes :
East to West —East, vast, vest,
West.
Boot to Shoe —Boot, soot, shot, Shoe.
Dog to Cat —Dog, dig, iig, fit, fat,
Cat.
Millc to Hash —Milk, mile, male,
mate, hate, hath, Hash.
lioad to Rail —ltoad, rood, root,
coot, coat, coal, coil, toil, tail, Hail.
Soup to Fish —Soup, soul, foil, toil,
foil, fowl, fool, foot, coot, cost, cast,
fast, fist, Fish.
The game is becoming quite popu
lar in railroad officers, as well as in
family circles and at firesides, and
seems to furnish instruction with
amusement.
A TOWN LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY.
Wabash, I nd., boasts of being the
first town to adopt the electric light for
general illumination. A beginning was
made March 31, with four Brush lamps
of 3,000 candle power each suspended
jon the flagstaff of the court house. A
I seven horst-power generator supplies
i the electricity. The contract called for
1 a light equal to a gas burner at a dis
; tance of 2,040 feet from the lamps.
The tests were said to be satisfactory.
Many visitors from adjoining towns
I were present to witness the first trial
of the uew method.
