While General Garfield was making a Republican speech in the Court House at Chestertown, an egg whizzed by like a bullet and smashed against the wall behind him.

One of the pbcnomtnil r this century wai ended on he m rn », ing of the 10th ultimo, ly the death oi e Benjamin Disraeli, Karl ofßeacousfi -lei. r Tie -on of Isaac D'lsraeli, the wel d known author, he was born Dec. 21, 1804 Some of his friends had hiui *, baptized July 31, 1817, during the ab •- sence of h.s father, and thus the way 't to a cateer in England was op ned uj to one wh • would otherwise h.»ve beet, i nscribed. Little is kno«Vii of hi? ■ i education, but it was fairly go.) I, i though he never attended either a pub n lie school or a university. When a vouiig man his attainments were quite i remarkable for their range, but he wa.- n« ver a very accurate scholar, aud wat t qu t.- apt to trip when he attempted a.iy display of learning. After spend •- ing a lew years iu a solicitor's office, hi devoted himself to soc.etv and litera- ture. In 1827 he w.is fanvus as tb author of the most popular novel oi d the day, "Vivian Grey," aad as per haps the most consuniate daudy in all * England. His gorgeous waistcoat.- t and elaborately oiled ami curled loi k>, his profuse jewelry aud grand airs, "vere at once the euvy of the fops ami a the scorn ol the sensible. But young Disraeli's dandyism wa il only skin deep. In part it was the re ( suit of his Oriental tastes—to the last II his preference lor the gaudy and taw dry were marked—aad iu part it was a mere veil for his more serious purposes, " deliberately assumed and consciously e worn. This is a clever young fellow who would amount to sometning, if he t only less foppish, th »ught the world ; b but he, conscious of the possession ol r brilliant talents and cherishing a lofty U ambition, was only amusing himself I v> hile biding his time. Several other s novels followed "Vivian Grey," of if which ' Contarini Fleming," "Con i- ingsby" aud 'Tancred" were the most not ble. But literary fame was not t his goal; be aspired to the possession of b power, and endeavored to obtain a seat in Parliament. After several unsuc s cessful attempts, he at length was re y turned as member for Maidstone, as a 1 "Tory-Radical," whatever that meant. - A characteristic anecdote is told of a hi in at this time. Lord Melbourne 0 said to him somewhat superciliously, 1 "Well, Mr. Disraeli, what, is your ide-« 1 in entering Parliament; what is your 3 ambition ? "To be Prime Minister of I England, my lord," was the reply, i? There was apparently small chance of i such an ambition being realized. 1 The beginning of his Parliamentary - career was the reverse of auspicious. 1 The House of Cominans is not an easy s body to sfteak iu, being intolerant of all display and labored flights of elo f quence Something iu Mr. Disraeli's s manner drew out jeers and coughs be t fore he had spokeu five minutes, al y though the custom is to listen kindly 3 to a maiden speech, however bad, and i after a little the speaker was obliged to i sit down with these words: "I am not l at all surprised, sir, at the reception I ' have received. (Continued laughter.) I have begun several things uianv times f —(iaughier)—and I have succeeded at last. (Fresh cries of' Question.') Ay, sir. and though I sit down now, the 5 time will come when you will hear 1 nte." In no wise discomposed by his ' first failure be spoke often, and after awhile the H u-e did hear him, until in ten years he became the best debater in that body, the one speaker who was " never dull, and was always listened to with delight. I In 1839 he married the widow of his former colleague, Mr. Windom Lewis. She brought him a handsome estate, 5 was devoted to his fortunes, and beiug ' a woman of rare culture and social posi tion did much to promote his rapid rise. After the death of lord George Ben tick ho became the acknowledged j • : leader of the Tory party in the Hi use | | of Commons, was Chancellor of the ! Exchequer under each «>f lord Derby's! ! three administrations. Prime Minister . in 1868, holding office for one year, [ i and a tory more in detail, for it has been | very fully written in books that are ac- ' ] cessible to everybody. ! As men usually estimate success, no j man ever achieved a more splendid i | success than the obscure Jewish boy I who rose to be Prime Miust. r of Eug- ; j land, a member of the proudest aris-1 J toeracy iu the world. There wasnoth- j in*. lacking to the outward signs of sue. ess—honors, power and wealth were his in as large measure as he ' chose to take them. He was the fav , orite of his soverign aud the idol of i his party. The glitter of all this may well blind the eyes of the multitude to the means by which it was obtained, and conceal the radical unsoundness of the character which was visible through ! out Lord Beacousfield's life. His ca-j ' reer cannot be better epitomized than in these verses of Mr. Lowell: 1 General C. is a dretHe smart man, He's ben on all sides thet give place? or pelf; ! But consistency still wuz a pirt of his plan— ! ' lie's ben true to one party, an' thet is himself. : I Not even his warmest admirers ever : asserted that Lord Beaconsfield had any settled convictions auv firm pur- ' pose, anv keen conscientiousness. He i may not have been consciously dis honest, but lie worshipped success, aud j was bound to have it at any price, j He had it—at the price of a sterling character and the las ing esteem of i men. Unfortunatly for Lord Beaconsfield, 1 he lived in the same generation with i Mr. Gladstone. In showiness and I brilliancy he outshone the latter ; but • iu solid ability, in breadth of states-j mauship, in all the higher moral quali- i ■ ties of manhood, there is no compari- | son to be made between them, Mr. | Glad-tone has made as many political ] somersets as Lord Beaconsfield ever! did; but it is the general judgement thai while the one changed his course from mere policy, the other has ncvpr changed but from conviction. It need ed the contrast of just such a career as Mr. Gladstone's to show the hollow ness of Lord Beaconslield's, and to teach the lesson that the highest, most I enduring success cannot be won by a br.lliant but shallow adventurer.

Arrival in the City, Yesterday, of a Curiosity from the Flowri/ Ki g dom—Harnum'» Chinese Giant, and Uoic he is Put Upon by Tailors and Hoarding-House Keepers. •VOJJJ Philadelphia Time* of April 2fl. In tlu 1 Main Building of the Centen iial Exhibition one of the first things ihat catches the eye upon entering is a colossal statue whose huge dimensions •n wiider the sight and make dizzy the •ruin as it Attempts to compass its tow ring height which, in its imposing niassi veness, compels all preconceived i nicies of fabled genii and legendary gi nts to dwindle and shrink into insig nificance l»y the contrast Every one who sees the statue is accust >med to exclaim upon the ludicrousness of the comparisons it affords to other statues and living figures which on every side surrouud it Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, a close carriage drove up to the side entrance of the Bingham House, from which there was taken oat what ap peared ot first to be a second edition of the Centennial statue, except that this second figure was that of a mammoth Chinaman, who lived and moved on a a pair of inconceivably long legs, in p»-pj»er-und-salt trousers, and with a breadth of back and shoulders that found difficulty in getting into the hotel doorway, which feat he finally aecom pli.-lied by a low stoop, the upper part of the door just grazing his back as he did so. As the colosal figure walked into the office the guests, who had been quietly sitting on benches and chairs reading, with one impulse sprang to their feet, and with faces the picture of speechless astonishmeut, looked up at him. Slow ly and calmly, like a towering pedestal, he moved up to the office counter, look ing upon the gaping crowd below with a pair of quiet, dark eyes and reaching out a baud, which might have been at a distance mistaken for a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, took the p«»n which the clerk handed him and wrote in the register, in a plain, round hand, Chang-yu-Sing; then below this, Parn Young. This done he turned calmly around, the top of his head almost grazing the office ceiling, and giving some instruc tions to 'Parn Young' about the lug gage wus escorted to the elevator, which he entered in the game manner he had entered the hotel doorway—by stoopiug—and seating himself on the groaning cushion was 'elevated' to room No. 241, on the third floor, to which place 'Parn Young' and his lug gage soon followed. The colossal figure was Chang, the Chinese Giant, whose form and figure has been extensively represented on hand-bills and posters on dead walls and fences and in street cars and in newspaper advertising columns by Mr. Barnutu's agents during the past few weeks. These pictures represent him about twice as tall as the average man. F >r once the advertisement falls short of doing him justice. The effect upon spectators as they enter his room and he rises and stands before them in all bis towering heiirht cannot be likened to anything else than the sensation pro duced when one stands before the statue in the Centennial Building. There is one difference, however. The statue is inanimate, lifeless. Chang is an affa ble, courteous, educated, gentlemanly living creature, with the best of man ners. His right hand sparkles with five huge diamond rings, one of them a pres ent from the Emperor of Austria, bear ing the Imperial crest; another a pres ent from the late Emperor of Russia, and the rest presents from nobles and people of different countries in the old world which Chang has visited. He is a thorough scholar, speaking seven dif ferent languages, among them the Eng lish with the fluency of a native. His height is within fourinchesof nine feet; his weight is exactly 364 pounds. He is not a fleshy man as most giants are, but spare in proportion to his build, lie has been in the show business for twenty years and has seen all the coun tries of the world and all the noted people. He is a high-priced giant, be cause he is imposed upon everywhere. To tailors he is a prize, to landlords a terror. In New York he went to get measured for a suit of clothes which at the most extravagant calculation would not have cost the most average man over S6O, but the tailor charged him $lB5. In the same city, when he first arrived there two months ago, bis agent procured board for him at a down town restaurant. The proprietor made him pay $4.75 for one meal and told him, after he had paid his bill, that he could not board him at that rate, as he would break him up in a month if he attempted to do it. Subsequent, nego tiations with the agent induced him to take him at the rate of S2OO a month, but in three weeks' time the proprietor pleaded with the ageut to be released from the contract, as Chang waseating him out of house aud home. .

It is the best medicine I ever used for that disease, or, rather, it is the only one that has proved satisfactory.
