WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE.
Wie Pure Private Life of the Liberal
Premier and Bie Vest Talents.
A London correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press writes: The
most prominent figures in the En
glish political world of to-day arc the
too great Liberals, Gladstone and
Chamberlain. On the Conservative
side there are none to match them,
for since Boacontfield’s death the op
position leadership has been double
headed, Salisbury and Norihcote di
viding this honor between them, with
Lord Churchill attached to the body
as a tail, and acting frequently as
though he thought himself at the oth
er end. But Gladstone is a chief
whose leadership is not disputed, ei
ther with his party or outside of it,
and after him, as a good second,
comes the president of the Board of
Trade. The former is an oid fa-
vorite—the latter has shot into popu
larity within a few years. Gladstone
was a member of the House of Com
mons forty-six years ago, when the
Queen ascended the throne. Hi*
brilliant talents soon won him a place
in the cabinet, and in 1800, when he
had already shown himself the ablest
chancellor of the exchequer the coun
try ever, had, the late laird Lytten
wrote of him: “He will be to the last
largely before the public eye—much
feared by his opponents, but greatly
beloved, not only by those about, him,
but by numbers to whom he is per
sonally unknown. He will die,
■whether in or oat office, In an excep
tionally high position. He will be
queath a reputation out of all pro
portion te the opinion now enter
tained of his intellect, even by those
who think most highly of it, and
greater honors far than he has yet
acquired, are in store far him."
Tbi* was uttered twenty-three
years go, but so remarkably has it
been fttMUed im its salient features
that the prophecy leads like history.
Gladstone’s position to-day is the
very highest to which a public man
could aspire, for, the virtual übUt of a
great empire and, in consequence,
respected and feared for his great
ness, he is also enthroned in the
hearts of those he governs—admired
and loved for bis true goodness.
Gladstene is a great wan of the all
rou.id kind. Hie facullie* would
have raised him to pre-eminence in
any sphere. Oliver Wendell Holmes
has spoken of him as one “whose in-
tervals of rest are paroxysms of
learned labor,” and the products of
his genous in these periods of relaxa
tion prove beyond a doubt that had
he consecrated himself to the church,
as oneoi his sons lias done, he would
as surely have risen to the chair of the
primate as he now fills tba office of
premier.*

His private life is without a stain
and wholly above suspicion. Than

To have statesman sit

usefulness,*and how the qualities of
simplicity and sincerity are perfectly
compatible with a high place iu the
world of politics. Conservative news
paper* rarely attack his motives, and,
if an inconsiderate Tory politician
ventures into this forbidden circle, tfie
press of his own party arc usually the
first to take the intruder to task.
That the degraded elements in the
community do not l ! ke Gladstone is
entirely natural. W ien told that his
name was always hissed ty music
hall audiencies, the honorable gentle
man modestly expressed gratitude,
ilia considerate treatment at the hand*
of political adversaries is due, in a
jlarg* measure, to his own mild and

Sit Cross accused the g ;v

Mr. Gladstones attention to the re

did, the characteristic response being:

they may be considered not other

A master in the use of language.
Gladstone is at the same lime an adept
in keeping ailencc. The adviser of
her Majesty must not let out secrets,
and Mr. Gladstone never docs. If
anything, he errs on the other aide,
seeming to take delight rather in
tantalizing public curiosity than in
gratifying it.

a career of hard work behind him,
this was not surprising. The sur
prising thing is, that he should since
have rallied aud renewed his youth.
Just before the .close of the session
his habit and face seemed much fuller,
and the latter had upon it a glow of
health, which seemed l# promise him

He will not retire until the franchise
question is settled, and cherishes the
hope ef remaining in the thick of the
battle until some further measure of
justice is done to Ireland., . .
Not the least remarkable of Glad
stone’s trails is the capacity he has
shown for adapting himself to altered
times and circumstances. He began
with imperfect political ideas, but he
has been a ready learner. He was a
Tory at first, and has beem led into
advanced liberalism by the necessi
ties of the country ami the prompt
ings of conscience. But for this, his
influence might have been no greater
tliun that of the early associates
whom he ha* left *o far behind.
Great as a statesman, great in learn

also one of the greatest of of living

equal, either In Parliament or on the

by John Bright, but years have told
on the latter, while Gladstone’s Mag

The Trouble Botwoen Conkline and Gor

Wai Bottled.
A New York dispatch of the 24th
has the following: “Said an ex-Sena
tor, now in this city, to the Courier-
Jonrual correspondent this evening:
“I see (hat Lamar and Edmunds have
managed te get up a row over the
corlirmation of Emory Speer, of Geor
gia. Lamar is a curious individual
and full of grit, hat he is toe apt to
construe the language of a political
adversary into a personal affront.
Just like Bayard in that respect. If
any one charges ths Democratic party
with wrongs or double-dealing, Bay
ard gets up aud lays liis hand on his
heart and produces his individual
stock of honor, under the impression
that someone had assailed or denied
it. S* fay as [ can recall, this is the
first time any Senator has foreswore
personal relations with Mr. Edmunds
because ef the acrimonies of debate.
Before Ceukling left the Senate he

them being with Lamar, and the olM'
with Gordon, but liTf rimpucr wits
unbearably offensive when lie tried
himself. On another occasion lie ami
Bayard indulged in a controversy
when personalties were exchanged
All these named were members of the
Judiciary Commitieo except Gordon,
and for month* Ibe meetings were con
ducted without any personal recogni
tion of Coukliug by Bayaril and La
mar. “They never spoke as they
passed bv." It was in the
word-fight between Conkling and
Gordon that the most serious results
were feared. Gordon has no fear of
powder or bullets, aud Conkling was
not charged with any laek of personal
courage. The merits of the controver
sy were finally referred for a peace
ful settlement to Mr. Hamlin as Conk
ling’s friend, Gen. ltansom as Gor
don’s friend, and Senator' McDonald
selected by the other two. Neither
Hamlin nor McDonald could tell a toy

A DETECTIVE’S STOftY.
HU Interesting; Experience With (he

ter of* Nsvr York Merchant.
(Baltimore American.)
Detective A1 Gault, of the city de
tective ferce, yesterday told of an in
teresting Incident that occurred some
lime ago in connection with his ser
vices as a detective. A rich merchant
of New York numbered among the
members of his family a lovely and
accomplished daughter, who was the
pride and delight of his home. She
was beautiful and highly educated,
and had but one fault—she was self
willed and had a terrible temper. One
morning at breakfast table she quar
relled with her mother, and that
night left home. No word was left
by her to indicate where she had
gong* The father -uommunieated
with Pinkerton and others, but noth
ing could be learued. Sovcn months
passed away, and in' the course of
business the father had occasion to
visit Baltimore. In the coarse ef
conversation with a prominent mer
chant ef this city he told the story of
the loss of hit daughter. The Balti
more merchant suggested calling in
the service* of the Baltimore detec
tives and the idea was adapted. De
tectives AI Gault and Tod Hall were
given the case, aud at once went to
werk. They were told by the father
that money wa* no object In prosecu
ting the search, which, if successful,
would be amply rewarded. The de
tective* visited boarding houses and
oilier places in the city, but were un
successful. At last they determined
to insert a personal in the papers,
which read as follower*:
Personal. —lf Laura , who left
her home iu New York *n June 25,
will call at the Baltimore post office
she will receive a letter from her lov
ing father.
Detective Gault stationed himself
at the post office for two days, but no
one called for the letter. He was
more successful on the third day.
While at the post office lie saw a lady
closely veiled approach the delivery
window, and heard her ask for the
decoy idler. Slipping outside he
waited until she had turned the cor
ner at Gay street, and then, joining
her, he said:
“Excuse me, Miss Laura, but I
have a message from your father,
lie wauls to see you.”
She stopped suddenly, and without
raising her veil replied:
“You scoundrel [ Jfi vq,h do not in

thrashed.”
The detective said : ‘T am a de
tective, and have been detailed to ar
rest you and Igko you to police head
quarters, and if you do not go quiet
ly, J \yill beobliged to lake you by
force.” , t
She wilted and W c,| t as far as Bal
timore street, and there made anoth
er stand. Blip stamped tier foot and
positively refused to go a step far
tlier. The detective coaxed, but wjthr
out effect, and was obliged to threat
en to take hold of her before she
agreed to accompany him. At last he
got her as far as the Marshal's office,
where she pitched into Marshal Gray,
and refused to hare anything to do
with him or with her father. Gault
went up after her father, and told
him of the recovery of Ids daughter.
He was deeply affected at the expect
ed realization of his fondest hopes.
He recovered sufficiently to accom
pany the detective to the Marshal’s
office, where the meeting between the
father and daughter was most affect
ing. The daughter upon the eight of
her father softened and yielded tetlie
influence of paternal love. The
daughter then explained that when
leaving her home, seven months be
fore, she had considerable ineney,
which lasted her some time. Com
ing t,o Baltimore, she had Joined a
Catholic mission and applied to the
Sisters in charge for something to do.
One day a banker’s wife came to the
mission, and being in need of a gov
erness for her children, asked the
Bisters to recommend someone to fill
ike position. The Sisters spoke of
her as being accomplished and hav
ing a secret history. The banker’s
wife took her home and in a few days
found her protege was of superior ed
ucation and most ladylike In de
meanor.
The banker's wife happened to
read the personal, and thinking it
might be connected with her govern
ess, showed it to her. It wss two
days before she made up her mind to
sail for the letter, and at last did so,
only to be canght by Detective Gault.
The young lady at once agreed to re
turn to her home with her father, and
they left the same afternoon. The de
tectives received a long letter from
the overjoyed father several days af
terwards, thanking them very much
for having been the means of bring
ing sunshine and happiness into a
desolate home. There was only one
thing the father forgot, and that was
a substantial reward the detectives.

Meeting on* of the guardians of the

asked him if he had any trouble
with the cranks now.
“Well, there are not so many

“‘Are you a watchman?’
“‘ln that line,’ laid I.
“ ‘The President is giving a recep

“‘lbelieve he is,’ said I.
“‘A public reception, isn’t it?’

‘“I den’t know anything about
that,’ I answered.
“ ‘Would you take me to be a res

‘“Hardly ablo to judge onto short
an acquaintance,’ said I.
‘The stranger chuckled quietly at
this and said: ‘Quite right. But

manners and conversation, would you
set me down as respectable or other
wise ?’
“‘Respectable,’ saidl.

“ ‘Asked if I had a card,’ contin
ued tho stranger, indignantly (ignor

started down the flag sidewalk to

the deer leaped out of tho door and

Rohrbacher ran to the spat and found
