WHY A REALLY GREAT AND GROW-
j |NG MAN CANNOT BE PICTURED.
!i
Hie Many Sided Man —Caricatures of Thirty
j Years—Portrait of 1S58—Portrait of 1882.
| Tha Idealized Gladstone—Tho Scholar of
! J888—In the House of Commons.
The every day patron of the illustrated
papers firmly, perhaps fondly, believes that
be has a dear Idea of the features of the
Right Honorable William E. Gladstone, for-
MR. OULDSTONE IK PUNCH—1S59-1889.
merly British promier and now leader of tho
opposition and advocate of home rule for
Ireland. In truth he only knows the face of
Gladstone at a certain ago, in a certain mood
or character, and perhaps in a certain state
<of temper; for of aD men of this age it can
most truly be said of Mr. Gladstone that be
is a many sided man. And he has now been
in public life some forty years, and in that
time* has been portrayed by many artists,
who have looked on him from many different
points of view. And in the art of portrait
painting, as in astronomy, much must lie
allowed tor the “porsonal equation” of the
observer.
Taken in the order of time, it must bo said
that there are several different Gladstones to
he pictured. There was, first, tho original
Feelito, who looked on free trade for England
as merely the theory of doctrinaires, and a
littlo later was convinced that commercial
freedom os taught by the Manchester school
was tho most certain and valuable demon
stration of political economy. There was,
too, tho original Gladstone, whom Macaulay
attacked in his noted essay on church and
state—* he Gladstone who held, or seemed to
bold, that the British government was •
divine ordinance, as much so as any other oi
(French-Austrian) war of 1859; that they
change abruptly to his attitude during the
American civil war, then to his movement
for disestablishment iu 1869-70 and his op
position to war in behalf of Turkey in IS77,
and lastly to his latest attitude on the Irish
question; and with this outline there may be
those who can discover the idea of the car
icaturist in each of the twelve heads. It is
not likely, however—at any rate, west of the
Atlantia
The truth is that a mnn like Mr. Gladstone,
forty years In public life both literary and
political (not to say theological) is always
growing; bo is always acquiring more evi
dence, therefore gaining broader views, there
fore changing or modifying his opinions.
Hence to the man who prides himself on be
lieving just as be did forty years ago, Mr.
Gladstone seems a very Proteus. Those whe
know him best add that he has one face
for society, another for bis family and in
timate friends, still another for his library
and desk of literary controversy, and last of
all an entirely different one for the bouse of
commons. American visitors to the house
odd that he has many different moods there:
“At one time, his head sunk deep in the folds
of his collar, he presents a picture of extreme
old age wrapped in a reverie of the past; anon
he brightens up, and with hand to his ear
catches every word from the other side of
the house, and again he is full of the fire of
youth and appears the very Hon of con
troversy.” Observe how deftly these vary
ing moods have been caught by the car
icaturists.
The Magazine of Art, from which these
portraits are copied, has given presentments
of Mr. Gladstone at various times since his
political career began. First is the Gladstono
i of 1858 (from the picture by G. F. Watts, R
A.), the young or middle aged member of par
liament, the man whose work is before him.
Next is tbe Gladstone of 1882 (from the pict
ure by W. B. Richmond, A. R. A.), and this
is the idealized Gladstone, the man of the col-

Iceland’s Ancient Lore Records an Expe
dition Which Took Place In 08G—Expe
riences Which Lead to the Dollnf That
America Was the Place VUited.
Tho ancient loro of tho Icelandic sagas
furnishes proof of the early colonization
of tho American continent in the Tenth
century by the Scandinavians. The sagas
and songs upon which ancient Scandi
navian history is founded, and thosecon-
taining the history of America by*he
Northmen, were originally intrusted to
tho memory, and these verbal traditions
formed historical narratives.
In tho early part of the Twelfth cen
tury, when the Icelanders had become
familiar with Hie Latin chirography.
they were committed to writing. Manu
scripts found in Iceland during the year
1650 make ^record of an expedition to
Greenland led in 886 by Eric lied, of Ice
land. His son Lief, who accompanied
him, enlisted a crew of thirty-five men,
and set sail from Greenland on another
voyage of exploration. In due time they
came to a well wooded land to the soutli-
' west of Greenland, where day and night
seemed more equal tliart in Greenland
and Iceland.

was tho first duty of that government to
take care that nothing was demo to weaken
the legal sanction of tho established church.
And somo twenty years later there was the
latitudinarian Gladstone, who disestablished
tho Irish church (the Protestant Episcopal
establishment in Ireland) and quietly ignored
all appeals for tho agal strengthening of the
establishment in England. Last of all, there
is the Gladstono of caricature; and perhaps
this is the best light in which to study the
variations of bis countenance os they pre
sented themselves to critics and contempo
raries.

Tenniel, Lin ley San bourne and Harry Fur-

—as caricatures go—to the* original, In tho
facts that they were by the best caricaturists
of the timo, that they were accepted by
Punch and that they wore accounted irresist
ibly funny by tho London publio of the
time—a public familiar with Mr. Gladstone’s
varying moods and attitudes. Observe that
tbe caricatures begin with Mr. Gladstone's
attitude (or rather what his critic assumed
Ids attitude to be) as regards the Italian

and the library, the philosopher whose
customary atmosphere is far above that of
world of controversy and law
semes occasionally into our
command or advise. To
an American it 1b sufficient to say that this
“Gladstone” is of • class with the pictured
William Penn of Philadelphia galleries and
the George Washington of Stuart and Trum
bull—pictures of those worthies as they
looked, perhaps, after they ceased to love and
hate, or as they might or should have looked
when purely idealized andlargely dehuman
ized. —
The contrast is great enough with tbe Glad
stone of 1888 (from the picture by H. J.
Tbaddeus). Although in his library and in
repose be is a real man, a real representation
the statesman at rest. Last, and tor
practical purposes best, is Gladstone in the
house of commons In 1SS8 (from a sketch
from life by Harry Furaiss). It is tbe man
himself eaxung forward with hand to his
ear to catch the slightest whisper of what is
being said by the orator who “has the floor.”

in 1882 and a cabinet meeting in 1879; all
designed to show the statesman in different
moods; but it is enough to say that art can
only give outlines and the impression of some
prevailing mood—the many sided man it can
not show. Hence, as in the cases of Penn and
Washington above cited, the Idealist must
come in and combine all that is best in many
moods to give the world the facial impress
of a moral hero.
They Have Been Spared.
The thirteen trees planted by Alexander
Hamilton at the Grange, now bounded by
One Hundred and Fortieth and One Hundred
and Forty-fifth streets, New York, were
named by him in honor of tho thirteen origi
nal states. Notwithstanding tho devastation
that has been going on in this part of the
city, these trees are allowed to remain. They
ore owned by Mr. W. H. do Forest, who pur
chased the grange in 1879 for $312,000, which-
was then regarded as almost a fancy price,
but which now would hardly pay for more
than a few of the lots into which tho property
has been divided—Son Francisco Argonaut.
nisany
hie followers, returned to Greenland,
and the fame acquired by this expedition
encouraged his brother TliorwaM to em
bark iu the same vessel ip 1008 for the
recently discovered territory, to which
was given the name of Wineland (Vine-
land). Thorwald ami his crew, having
safely reached their destination, spent
the winter in the bootlia which Lief had
erected. In the spring he explored the
western coast ana found the land not
only attractive, but rich in vines and
forest.
No evidences of human habitation were
visible, nor did he find the lairs of ani
mals. Afterwards sailing eastward they
came to a cape upon whope sandy beacn
they landed. Having crossed this p:
iection, to their surprise they saw thi
boats made of skins, partially buried in
the sand, beneath which nine men lay
hidden, eight of whom were oaught and
killed, one managing to escape. Later
these Northmen were attacked by the
Esquimaux, to whom the eight so re
cently killed probably belonged. Thor
wald, fatally wounded in the encounter,
was buried on the promontory where he
felL His crew returned to Greenland
with a rieh cargo of timber.
THE SECOND EXPEDITION.
The sagas make mention of another
expedition, undertaken by Thorfin Karls-
fue, who enlisted as his associates sixty
men and five women. Sailing from Ice
land in a southerly direction, they ar
rived at the place where Lief had built
his huts. After landing the cows and a
bull to graze, which they had brought
with them. Karlafue ordered his men to
fell trees and prepare timber for the
ship’s cargo; and while thus engaged
they saw emerging from the woods many
Skraelings. II
the bull was feeding, and being rather
of a ferocious spirit, he bellowed loudly,
and made an* attack upon them, which
led them immediately to retreat.
After securing re-enforcements they
returned, and although they were not
able to make themselves understood to
the Northmen, by means of signs, how
evor, they were enabled to bartor furs
for such other commodities as the North
men were willing to seU. When tbe na
tives had withdrawn, Karlafuo caused
a strong wooden fence to be placed
around his bootlia, which proved to be a
wise precaution, as a short time after
words the Skruelings returned, when a
fierce fight ensued, in which many of the
Esquimaux felL The Northmen soon be
coming weary of their abode In so strange
a country, and exposed to the frequent
attacks of the natives, in the spring re
turned to Greenland.
THE THEORY 07 IRISH COLONISTS.
Tho third expedition was undertaken
in 1011 by Prbydissa, a daughter of Eric
Red, in company with 200 Icelandic
traders, but as no further exploration of
this country was entered
facte .were obtained.
The theory of the population of Amer
ica by Irish colonists has been founded
on the mention of a saga writer who
observes tliat Wine land must have been
’’FTvfttramaanaland,” or the Great Ire
land. It is net improbable that k slmilarity
in the sound of the language «f the pooplc
caused the name of a smaller body of
land in the eastern hemisphere to be
given to a part of the country by ite first
discoverers. Be this as it luay it is cer
tain that the theory has never been au
thenticated. '.
Thus we became acquainted with the
Icelandio history of certain portions of
the western hemisphere, as given by the
sagas of the Icelanders.
The discovery by Christopher Colum
bus of Wost Indies in 1402 was perhaps
the result of a trip mode by him to Ico-
lasd in 1477, at which time the discovery
of unknown lands to tho southwest of
Greenland and Icekuid was made known
to him by the sagas of the people of Ice
land.—Gen. G. W» Darling in Home
Journal.
Concerning Hydrophobia.
_ Our knowledge concerning the condi
tions under which tho poison which
creates hydrophobia acts has been some
what advanced by the recent experi
ments of II. Ualtier, of Paris. According
to the experiments tho dried virus has
its poisonous properties destroyed in from
four to six days. On the other hand,
earlier experiments of the same savant
show that an animal which has died of
rabies may retain the poison in that part
of the brain called the medulla oblongata
for six or seven weeks. It is evident
that this fact may be of Importance in
cases where persons have been bitten by
animals supposed to be rabid. If the body
of the creature has been buried it may be
possible to exhume it after many days
and make experiments which will 6erve
to show whether danger from the wound
is to be apprehended. In tliis way un
founded anxieties may be allayed.—Pop
