There are elements of discord again in October. Insubordination in one of the largest barracks, a terrible railway accident in the north, and the question of horse-bWing will be prominent subjects of discussion and lectures. Novemberâ€"the only pre- diction worthy of note is that the weather will be a pleasant surprise. For December, “Old Moore” regrets we shall hear of the death of a well- known sportsman. There will be dis- turbing news from China; Union be- tween two foreign powers will cause no little surprise, and last, a great piliar of the church will ‘be culled“ away. ' ‘ The holiday month predictions are wholesale poisoning in Paris; a mar- vellous book dealing with religion, author unknown, and a shocking motor car accident in the west of England. “About now the whole of theEm- pire will be staggered by some strange news that may come from Holland. As we may well remember, the Dutch have looked upo with anything but a friendly é e. era is little doubt that this strange race will be much in want of an ally, for it is pretty certain that Germany is ready to pounce down upon this slice of Europe, which would add an immense value to the weight of the Teutonic peoples.” One of the predictions for July re- minds one of 00m Paul’s famous re- mark, “staggers humanity.” “Old Moore says:- In June the enactment of stringent anti-gambling laws, and that a. great person holding the supreme com- mand of the German State will be in danger, is predicted. Sad news will come from Windsor about the end of this month, but in the end will prove only a. passing cloud. A most unsavory divorce case is also predicted. The picture for May represents a. priest standing before an urn mark'ed :morphia, before which three women ‘are kneeling, while in the background two imps are carrying away a. wo- man on a. stretcher. “The worthy prelate is doing his best to convince his guilty sisters of the awful results of their criminal in- dulgence. Look in the background of the picture and you will see what Old Moore, Wished to convey. Be warned ere it he too late, Alcoholic poison is bad enough, but the efi‘ects of morphia, in whatever form, can- not be exaggerated.” and the Prophet predicts a. speedy vengeance upon the greedy contrac- tor.

Miss Smith has been in the service for 11le thirty years, having been a pioneer in th. mo'vo- ment for employing women in 'the postoflice. She began with a stat! of .bout 20 girls, 3113 now has 900. ' The death occurred reCently at Mo- 'ruya, in New South Wales, of a Crimean veteran who once attracted a. good dealpf attention. Mr. George Solly had for many years been a prosperous settler at Moruya, and was a. popular figure in the district. He was one of the bluejaokets landed from the British warship Rodney in the Crimea, and had the claspsglor Inkerman. Balaclava, the Alma, nnd Sebastopol. While SebaStopol was burning and the fighting still going on, he regaled himself mains-com- rgdes by dancing 9. hornpipe on the‘ ramparts, and the incident was at- terwarfis made the nubject of a cat'- toon in Punch. And, to his horror, on looking dowu, Beaconsfield found that he had got, his diplomatic uniform coat on with his Trinity House trousersâ€" a. sartorial sin which included omission and commission. “Oh." said the Prince, still smil- ing, "you've got the wrong trousers on!" found out!" "In what, sir?” field. Having implicit confidence in his valet, Beaconsfieid dressed and went. to the levee. On appearing before the Princeâ€"now EdWard VII.â€" the diplomatist. and minister made his bow and, to his surprise. was greet- ed with an amused smile. “It Won't do.” His Royal High- ness jocularly remarked: "You’re Lord Beaconsfield was one of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, and as such owned a. special omcial uniform. One day he was about to attend a. levee at St. James'a Pal- ace, and his valet laid out his clothes for the occasion. Beaconsneld'n Breeches. We may conclude from an anecdote in Sir Edward Hertslet’s “Recollec- tions of the Old Foreign Office" that it, is a. wise valet that knows all his master’s clothes by sight. I could carry everything Hetero me the House. The time will come.” In a letter written four years be- fore he became a. member of Parlia- ment, Disraeli thus described a. de- bate in the House of Commons: “1) was one of the finest we have had in years. Bulwer spoke, but is physical- ly disqualified, and in spite of all his exertions can never succeed. I heard Macaulay’s best speeches and Shell and Charles Grant. Macaulay was admirable, but between our- selves, I could floor them all. This is entre nous. I have never been‘ more confident of_e.nything than that i Within four years Disraeli maimed Wyndhtgm Lewis’ prosperous widow. wives or live apart. from them. This is literally the case. I may commit many lollies in life, but I never in- tend 'to marry for love, whiqh, I am sure, is a. guarantee of infelicity." In describing a visit to Wyndham Lewis', he writes: “By-theâ€"bye, would you like Lady Z for a. sister- inâ€"law? She is very clever, has $250,000, and is domestic. A9 for love, all my friends who married for love 01’ beauty either beat their The sale of a batch of letters of Disraeli to his sister, written More the days of his fame, brought to light some interesting passages in which “Dizzy," as he always was to his sister, was very candid.
