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.* Gladstone's private live. His private life is without a stain and wholly above suspicion. Than Gladstone's domicile at llawsrdeu Castle, no (huimaluiipU. s-< ■■■ ists in all England. He has no petty ■ykees—neneofthosc little flaws which :areio common and so readily excused iiu gsqat men, and no eccentricities, be his strong penchant fer The crown of his lofty ehtt'WtfW j* Ads marked religious ness. To have statesman sit ting devoutly iu ;t ihoy-sc or warship every morning and ui’*ng.t,le parliamen tary recese —-going t ljcuj cho eonvic •ien, and not to make a slvow—i worth more to England than one can easily estimate. The best legacy lie will bequeath U> his country will be hiseiamplc—illustrating how person al worth niev keep pace with pnblic 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 icupcitsHory methods. He never uses ■fatMli Anuguage toward an amag n3t£. ,pqr imputes nnworthy designs. Sit Cross accused the g ;v --eitimeat *f waking terms with r. bels aud assassins, and some friend called Mr. Gladstones attention to the re marks, asking him to reply, which he did, the characteristic response being: “TheaMjolent charge* are usually made A there is no ground for raliotilPbiCjti-tion to the conduct of the government, and in this view they may be considered not other wise than satisfactory." 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. GI.ADBTONX AKD BEACON WIELD.

Graduallly the hearts of the people went back to their first love, and from a comparative retire ment, occupied iu translating Greek and Latin odes and in writing articles on the Vatican decrees, which made a great, aenaation, they summoned him once morel# the helm of slate.

Bordering on seventy, and with 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 maaiy years Jo life, if not of labar. 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 ing, and great iu private virtue, ho ie also one of the greatest of of living orators. In this country he has ne equal, either In Parliament or on the platform. He was formerly rivalled by John Bright, but years have told on the latter, while Gladstone’s Mag ic powers of debate seem to defy time. ; jl # I THE FAST RECALLED. The Trouble Botwoen Conkline and Gor don Tours Ago and How It 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 h ad several hot encounter*, one ot 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 pistol from a Stomach-pump, while Hansom was one of die most accom plished eodists Of the country; JU desired an amicable settlement, of course, and after detailing the laws of the code to his brot her referees, I he conclusion was readied IliaUhe offen sive words must be retracted In the order uttered, and metiers were ffual la adjasted on this touch-stonc prin ciple. In the present case Lamar has simply served notice that personal re lations must cease, and Mr. Edmunds has no opportunity to retort in kind. In the other instances where trouble was feared the lie had passed direct.” denial ebon kb. benjamin. (Xw York Times.) The representative of tiie I'aris Morning News in London had an in terview witli Mr. Judah P.BenJarroln regarding the letter which it is alleged he wrote in 1860 to 1 he British consul in New York proposing in effect that the people of Ihe South renew (heir alle giance to Great Britain. After a care ful perusal of the report, as published hero, Mr. Benjamin said in the most emphatic manner: “There is net a werd of truth in it. No such idea ever entered my head. A great many such tliiags have been charged against me since—” Here Mr. Benjamin hesitated. “The eld times,” suggested the cor respondent. “Yes; those old times,” said Mr. Benjamin.

HU Interesting; Experience With (he Lovely end Accomplished Baugh, 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 ein .*♦,. Wtirtras: |ii* first passing gentleman ami hare yon 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. WAKTZD. ' Parties having colts to sell, apply to Henry J. Hill, near Bakers Ferry.

A Watchman's Story o t His Cnrloas Interview With one ol Them. (Wsshlngtou Star.) Meeting on* of the guardians of the Executive Mansion and grounds off duty a feW days ago a reporter asked him if he had any trouble with the cranks now. “Well, there are not so many around this rough weathor,” was the reply, “but yen newspaper meu don’t catch ou to one in tea of the queer people Who try t# sec the President, but are intercepted before they reach the liouso. or are turned away front the door." “I should think,” said the repor 3, “that you would be imposod on netimes by plausible follows who, only a 'Tittle oft'’ mentally, Tike Gni- Teau, are more dangerous than raying lunatics.” *■ “Asa general thing you can gauge ,’e*i on sight,” was the reply. “There is a wandering of the eyes, qnjm ab ruptness of speech, or a wildness ef gesture, or some peculiarity of-dress or manner. This, however, is not always the case. I remember when Hiyes was President! was on duty In th* grounds one night when a re ception was going on. I wa* ap praachod from the White House por tico by a tall, clean-shaved, raiddle tged man, neatly dressed in a black walking suit, who asked lit a tone as if he merely wanted a chat with some one i * “‘Are you a watchman?’ “‘ln that line,’ laid I. “ ‘The President is giving a recep tion, I believe.’ “‘lbelieve he is,’ said I. “‘A public reception, isn’t it?’ asked the stranger.’ ‘“I den’t know anything about that,’ I answered. “ ‘Would you take me to be a res pectable citizen ?’ was the next ques tn. ‘“Hardly ablo to judge onto short an acquaintance,’ said I. ‘The stranger chuckled quietly at this and said: ‘Quite right. But frem my general appearance now, my manners and conversation, would you set me down as respectable or other wise ?’ “‘Respectable,’ saidl. “‘Just so. And yet in this great and glorious land of the free,’ sarcas tically, ‘a respectable citizen is sud denly turned away from the door of the Executive Mansion by flunkies -w ‘.V c rrrr ,. ..-.yi "“* ' isetis,' t 4 [fay fin; respects to the officer they have chosen by ballot to preside over them; at a time, toe, set apart, it is understood, for thit purpose.’ “‘But/sajd 1, ‘there must have been a reason. Perhaps you are mis taken aud this is not a publio recep tion.’ “ ‘Asked if I had a card,’ contin ued tho stranger, indignantly (ignor ed my last remark); ‘questioned and cross-questioned ss if I was afelomor conspirator,and the deor wee then shut in my face. All right if this is St. Petersburg and that is the palace of the Czar’ (pointing te the White Houso); ‘lnfamously wrong it this is Washington and that is tho White House,” “bo far there had not been any thing in tho man’s manner or talk,” continued the watchman, “to indi cate that lie was anything more than a visitor to-the cily disgusted arid'in dignant at liis disappointment in be ing summarily deprived of what he perhaps considered his only chance while here,to see the president; but suddenly changing Ids manner after his last remark, lie abruptly asked me in tiio sepulchral toues of the ghost in Hamlet:’ “ *I)o you over read the Bible ?’ ‘“Sometimes/ “ •Did you over read the book of Revolatioas?’ “ ‘Yes.’ “‘Do you remember the red man in that Book:’ “ ‘I can't say that I do.’ “ ‘Well read it again, guardian of the night, read it again,’ said the stranger, adding quickly: Tam the red man there mentioned.

They were elected, yes, but elections cannot change destiny.

A Hauler Kills A White Deer, aud Kuo wm that ne Will Soon Die. A correspondent of tho New York World says that Silas Rohrbacher, of Hnnier’s Range, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, has sold his property and removed to another county because of hi* superstition that the killer of a white deer is sure to die soon or meet other misfortune. Rohrbacher and his son discovered a white doe in the woods on Tuesday , oflaifctweek. '.ltwas l>ing prostrate on the icc aud n liable to gain a hold by which it might recover its footing.

She was then lifted and carried to Rohrbacher’s clearing, whqfbit, was turned loose in the cattle elied with a cow and a yoke of steers. It seon beeamo rec onciled to its position, and fed with tho cattle. I to th* shed to throw down Bay to lUB I cattle. As hti opened the door a gust of wind caught-it and threw it wide open. Tho-dee caught a glimpse of the woede through the open duy and sprang towards it. As tho deor went put him, Rohrbacher mechani eally raised tho long-tined hayfork he had in his hands and thrust it at tho deer. The tines struck it in the side and were buried to the handle in its body. Tho tines broke oft’ as the deer leaped out of tho door and remained in its sido. The doe jumped thohigh log fence around the cow yard, and ran tor a hundred yards down tho road, when it staggered te one side and fell heavily oil the snow. Rohrbacher ran to the spat and found the dee dead. Almost crazed, he hur ried away to where seine ohoppoi s were at work in the woods, and fold them wiiat had happened, and said that ho had scaled his doom. Onoof the men took the deer’s body into the woods, removed the skin and threw the carcass in a swamp, tho meat be ing unfit for food at this time. The skin lie sold for $lO.
