Seldom does a political opponent come into his company without being fascinated by the man, though he may dislike the politician. An English ee enyist tells a story which illustrates Mr Bright’s power as a companion. One of the great orator's recreations is billiards.

" Are they fighting T" An hour or two after the husband re r tinned to his room, rubbing his hands, and in the best of humor. He had had such a good time st billiards with a most pleasing stranger, and they were to play again on the morrow.

Unfortunately, the three gentlemen who stood nearest the President st thia tune ware all disposed to carry the eti quette of the President s house to an ex treme that seemsd to the people to savor of royalty. Vics President Adams—just home from the British court —thought the President should be defended against intruders by a system of chamberlains— masters-of-ceremony and aides-da-oamp. Gul. Hamilton, who was an enthusiast for mciarnhy, and Gen. Knox, a soldier —both members of the President's Cabi net—ware inclined to go as far in that ilirectiou m they oortM without shocking the people. Tlie oonsequanoe was, that, while the I‘residant was protected from ths in trusion of incessant callers and marcileM hand-ahakinga, some appearances of monarchical stiquettii were admitted. Tlie people of that dqy hated mon archy and despised its forms. They feared above all things a lapse of our Government into monarchy. They had had, during the revolutionary period of ivvetiteen veara—counting from the Stamp act of 1765—a bitter experience of the practical workings ot mitoarchy. They wasted ao ipore of it. Hence, when Mr. Jefferson, on Ooto ing to the Presidency in 1801, swej* away every usage that had in it tlie smallest reee.Biblanoe to the etiquette of royalty, he keenly (ratified the mtma of the people.
