numifa.tunn» town of I\u2019reaton, in UucAshire.Mr.Hrrniou made a apeech, in which lie referred to the rel».liona between England and other countries on the anbject of Free Trade, nuking the |M,inl which haa been more than ouoe insisted in the,, column*, that England has now nothing t,> otter to induce foreign nations to enter into free trade relations with her ; while m the nearly forty years that have |>as»ed since the inauguration of th« free trade legislation of England, they have not only not followed her example, but have gone man oppoait*direction.This is not only li*.couragmg to the doe/ria iircj, but it falsifie* their very confident prophecies.Somebody wnt Mr.Ilermon\u2019s spee.li to Mr.Bright, ami he at once wrote a letter f.r |>uhlu-a-tion, with the evident intention to snutl out iioor Mr.Henuon.He said 1 have rea l Mr.Ilermon'a sj>e«.«ch, 10 which you refer me.1 am not aiaazed at the ignorance he display,, or its tnisn\u2019p!>\u2022»«\u2022 at*tion ol fu t.It do«-

n.aj jx te » ith *11 foreign manufa.lurers in sllfu-.^,, market*.How can he protect then, by r- mi-}N>«ing duties on the imjein*tion of cotton good* which they so largely esjN.rt This I- one si-je very tersely put of the «,,]].known argument from the js-n of it* gre,v,t living »js>stle.But there is .i further side, «t.il this Mr Bright supplies with equal UrsMi.',, iu the following word» \u201c Mr Hermon did m \u2022 tell hi* audience that IhUween the lurv-wtof I-'ÿ and 18S0 that is in the year after the bad )ur.vratof 1879 out of every four loave» of r»-\\ l eaten by the people of the I

give the whole argument ; and Mr Bright app .»r« \u2022 ¦ V ao deeply convinced of thnr crushing f< r - \u2022 it hegiws.in to exclaim \u201c What must M H im»n think of the mental rendition of h.«

this a fact \u2019 Fhirlly, that umler protection other nations had prospered.la not this a fact T *\t* Mr.Bright states that «otr manufacturers compete with all manufacturers in «11 foreign nut-k*-ta.This Is hardly a fact, ami is exactly what I complain of, vt*., that we ar*- not permitted to do an, owing to prohibitive duties, while our markets are free to those who shut us fiotn their own.This is the argument auffirietitly tersely put on the other side; ami the fm t stated by Mr.Hermon cannot I*- g«*t over by th*- whole sale contemptuous expressions \u2022 f Mr.Bright.An experience of well nigh half a century >\" conclusive proof that other nations will not follow England'» free trade example, and pr** hahly for the simple reason that they c.ui b»'*-all the advantage of the markets ol England without, while they nt the same time, resetve their own for their own people.The case might and we Itelicve would have liecti very greatly different if England had negotiated with other nations for an exchange of tree trade relations.And we curiously see that Mr.(iladatoue'a Gwv* April 30, 1881, CANADIAN ILLCSTRATED NEWS.275 «\u2022rMinPiit of which Mr.Bright ia a »n«*miM»r, in

out by common *en»o by the exigency of actual f.icta, in the relation lietwiwii France and Kng-lBi,d.Aa between theae countriea, it la not, aa Mr Bright puta it, it queatiou of aiinple com* itetition between the cotton manufactuiera of Preaton and France in the maraeta of Kngland ; hut of allowing the cotton nianiifactiirera of Kngland to go to France on the condition of re.ceiving win* a from that country on more favourable temiathanat preaent.That, We rej^at, iathe wliole of the quralion at ianue, and tfie dognnttic «\u2022iiteiic»-* of Mr.Bright are a aimple avoidance nt the argumenta.The «unie principle, more-over, it applied to the I'nited Statea, would quite change the C( ' Xion of the relutiona la-, tween Kngland and that country.If the free aduiioaion of tlieir meati and grains were made conditional upon treating FnglUh manufactnrea with the same favour, the overwhelming interest ot tlo1 western agriculturiata would at once com-|wl it.The eoinmon -en-e «»f thta

coutern|M>ritries and their successor», than the years of the Hegency and the reign of George IV.(1) Fir the historian of society it ha* provided constant food in the ma** of gossip which has accumulated respecting the life of a prince who was so constantly fiefore the public, and so careless to hide even Ilia domestic troubles from the comments of the I'ourt and society at large.Indeed, it has Iteen said that it is ,not the great event* of history which are the legitimate material of the true historian, but the careful scrutiny into the manners and custom*of the time, i|»< cause* which underlie the event* themselves The most meagre pnmrr of chronology will mifhce to tell ns who won the battle of Waterloo, fuit the cause* which b-d to it, and tho résulta to which it contributed, the»*, fkelongto I he true history of Kngland more than tin battle itself.In hi* present work, Mr.Fitzgerald has set himself to work, in the pleasant gossipy manner *o familiar to reader* \u2022\tf the Life of Sterne, to review the state of affiir* at home, from the birth of the fourth George until In* death.Foreign alftirs ar»1 but briefly touched u|mn, a* is fuit natural, \u2022'onsiiler-ing the lack of interest taken in tlieni by the i'ourt.The success of a fête at Carlton House wx» a matter of fir deejier moment to the Prince lb-gent than the victories of Wellington in the Penin*nl*.A characteristic *|ieech may fa* quoted in »up|M>rt of this, spoken at the time the divorce »ns in contemplation, in reply to a remark of Ixnl Mercer\u2019s u|K>n Wellington\u2019» vie-tori»-* in the north.\" I» \u2014n the north!\" said the * first gentleman in Kurofie,'\u201c and d\u2014 n the south I and d\u2014 n Wellington ' what I want to know is how to get rid of this d- -d Prince»* *\u201d In the matter of the divorce itself, Mr.Fitzgerald is eminently impartial, ami his searching analysis of the evidence connected with the 1 » i»*1, while it acquit* the Pnncii»» of the graver I charge, undoubtedly showa her later conduct in a very unfavourable light, -lust this impartial spirit is evi D nt in lu» estimate of the Prince himself.We are given hi* view», hi* doings, ind his < oriesp mlcnce, with the opinion* of tlio*.- most nearly a**.,.i;»ten 1 trait* in George IV.\u2019» eharseter have been overlooked '\u2018V lu» detra< r», and though on the whole there i», jx-rhap', little encouragement given to admire him as a man, we may yet give him credit for what g«.od qualities he |«>*»e*»ed, and at least \u2022\tmnoi do « rmg to remember in hi* favour the disadvantage* ol hi» education, toe parsimony and harshness of hi* father, and the violent animosity ot the 7ue«ii, who, on the whole, stand* out a* the most dt«agreeable character in the work.A» we said !>\u2022 fore, the hook i* a model of style, and eminently pleasant to dip into at odd m- ment», lor those who have imt Miffirirtit perseverance to mad it through.Tut selection of Mr.George Saintshury a* the biographer of Hryden in the \u201c Kngliah Men of la-tters \" (2» series, seems |>eculiarly felicitous.Mi Sainlsbury** reputation as a critic in hi* connection with the .1 iJ-nm, seems to |ioiut him out as especially fitted to deal with tha h*e of a man who must in the main be judge through hi* works alone.Apparently, too, the subject had previously suggested itself in this light to Mr Saint»bury, ami it was probably the ne-iesof lectures ou I >ry den, which he deliveied l ist »pring «h'i'h Js'intcd him out directly to Mr.Mor Irv lor the work.Contrary, however, toexpecta-tion.Mr.Saiiitshury'* critical f.icuhie* seem to have led him into a somewhat exaggerated admiration for Mrvden, not only for wh.tt lie really did to establish the form of the couplet and inaugurate the reign of satin- in Kngland, but for much which the world, at all events, wiM decline to *np|s*rt him in.It is right, undoubtedly, to declaim against the slight ground ii|mui which Mr.J.U.Green ha* branded Dryden as a libertine, and bis wife as yet more dissolute than himself, but even Mr.Samtabury is forced to admit ihat be wo* \" probably no more a model of conjugal propriety than most of his associates,\u201d and to regn*t that manv of the linest passages in hi* works are unlit lor quotation.Apart iront this, however, for which, no doubt, the time* must t>e blamed as much, or more, than tin- individual, we cannot think that the world will agree in accenting Dryden at once a* a master of prose aiul verse, of sntire and didactic poetry, of tragedy and coinedv, of epic and lyric, of the Elizabethan couplet, the Spenserian stanza, or the blank veise of Milton.There is such a thing aa overdoing praise of this kind, and it woul I have been kinder to Dryden to have admitted his inferiority in some {mints in order to dwell upon his legitimate triumphs.But thi* spart, Mr.Saints ury ha* A THRU LINO A DVRS TURK OF A CtNSI/S ENUMERA TOR.He was a mild-looking man, wan this census enumerator, and seemed crushed by the weight of the new name which hia temporary office or (KMition had conferred upon him.But there was Homethmg in hia meditative and melancholy smile, combined with the possibility of an early eac*|>e from prison of his knee* and ellwws, which would lead the casual observer to suppose that he had been taking a rest since his labours «luring the last census.There w&s a cast in one of hi* eyes, anil a faraway look in the other ; and there was a depressed look about the hang of hia moustache at the corner* that argued an \u2022tt«r abaence of cosmetic or hope.He carried hi* book under hia arm with the air of a man who said to himself \u201c I have sworn that none shall look herein, and I will keep my word or perish.\" Ib-cently he found it necessary, in pursuance of his duty, to enter a saloon on Craig street, and we hope we will l»e excused for giving the place away in that manner.It wa* evident that the saloon keeper had a very large family, for it was fully half an hour before th- ci-iisn* man emerged again, and then lie ap|H-ared much fatigued.He then entered the house next door.It was the store of a milliner.She waa a maiden lady on the ahady side of any age you might ch»M>se to mention, never read the daily journal», a* she used story paper* for tying up the ringlet* of her front hair at night, and conse-qut-ntly knew nothing about census enumerator*.Thu one before her was not a lady's man, and was not anxious whether he made a favourable impression or not.Hia temper had been soured by the stupidity of various citizens whom he had been questioning, and, therefore, he proceeded to h usine*» with startling directness.\u201c \\N hat is your name, ma'am !\" he asked, abruptly.The lady atare«l, hesitated, and finally an-awered, \u201c Jemima-\" \u201cGood,\" ejaculated the census man.\u201c What is your age !\" \u201c 1 don't know-began the ladv, in- tending to »av that she did not know that it wa» any of his buaine»», but he interrupted with- \u201cYou don't know.All right.Shall put down your age as uncertain.\u201d \u201c If you mean to insult me by saying that I am of uncertain age the sooner you leave the house the lletter for vou,\" ami the lady gra»jie«l a big darning needle viciously.\u201cGood gracious, ma'am, I meant no insult.I merely »»krd a ¦ ivil question.How many children have you !\" \u201c How many children have 1 ' why 1 am not-\" \" I did not ask you whether you were or not,\u2019\u2019 »nap|.ed the census man.\u201c I wish you would please answer my question* in a straightforward manner.1 simply asked you how many children you had.Isn't that plain enough \u201c l-ook here, Mister, 1 am going into the next room tor a p iker,\" shru-ke l the milliner, \u201cand I shall !«\u2022 back just in just throe seconds.\" The census man «Ini not wait for her return, however, hut saught out à reporter ami confided to hit:*, the difficulties which lay in the way of a proper ami complete taking of the census.FOOT NOTES.A Western editor receivwl a letter from a subscriber, asking him to publish a cure for apple-tree worms.He replied that he could not suggest a cure

to he out »>f the pale and protection of the law, and might be massacred with impunity.\u201c To show you, Baron Walter,\" continue»! Charles Theo»lor impressively, \u201c how your most reprehensible remark must shock me, learn that, by the wish and upon the recommendation of the F.mperor Napoleon, and obeying the urgent dictate of mv own heart, 1 have even this «lay signed a decree, which will be publicly promul-gated in the course of the next few days, grant* ing the absolute social and political emancipation of the Jews in the Grand Duchy, mid giving to every Hebrew subject of mine the same righta, liberties, ami privileges which have up to this been enjoyed exclusively by my Christian sub-jecta.As regards the atrocious murderer of I-az-arus Levi, he was condemned this morning, and the sentence shall be carrie»! into execution one fortnight from this day, on my princely word.So let me warn you, baron, to cease your unbecoming importunities.\" Upon this the poor baron was forced to desist, of course ; but i harles Theodor's sever- remarks had evidently cut him to the quick.He place»l the resignation of his oftice of first chamberlain in the prince\u2019s hands.Heartily tired of his once favourite\u2019s folly, the prince accepted the resignation temlered.After this the baron must have gone clean mad ; for it was rej»orte»l that he had actually tried to bribe the gaoler, hy the offer of a Urge sum of money, to let his prisoner escape.The prince's |>atieiice was completely exhausted uow.He banished Baron Walter from his dominions.Two days after the baron's forced »tep*rture from Frankfort the muiderer of Lazarus Levi was done duly to death, amidst the lead and deep execration of an infallible public, in which even the Protestant minister (the murderer was a Lutheran', who had done his best to i.re|>are Posselt for death, joined to the fullest ami heartiest extent, roused, quite naturally, to holy wrath by th»* perverse pertinacity with which the hardened criminal persisted in proclaiming hi* innocence even on the *»-affold.With that strange self-arrogation of absolnte power of binding or loosing, free forgiveness of sins or eternal condemnation, in which the clergy of most churches ami sects like so dearly to indulge, the pious man, exasis-rated beyond his p»>wer of endurance, bade the unhappy wretch just about to pass into eternity to abandon all hope that the Almighty could ever forgive him.Five yean.\"had passed away since the execution of Karl\" Posselt for the murder of Lazarus U*vi \u2014five eventful years'.The somewhat substan-stantial phantasmagoria conjured up by the great Corsican adventurer had faded away, and old Kuruj** wa* old F.uro|>e once more with a very considerable difference, of course, which, however, it is not our business here to delineate or dwell upon.Bonaparte, whilom F.-nie-ror of the French, King of Italy, Protector of the Khenan Confederation, to., and well-nigh master of the world, had entered upon his six years' agony on the St.Helena rock, and ingenious genealogi*ts had ceased essaying to trace hU»ie*oent back to Constantine the Great, through a suppositious Kalo-meros family that was said to have fled to Italy from Constantinople in 14S2, when the last Pa-leologue wa* somehow in the same most unenviable position a* the ae«-ond Abdul Hamid finds himself in at this present day.The Grand Duchy of Frankfort ha-1 also gone the way of all the ephemeral erections of the \" Man\u2019of Destiny.\u201d Frankfort had recovered once more the style, title, and prestige of a free imperial city, and had exchanged her sham position in the defunct sham Confederation of the Rhine for an equally sham |M»*ition in the rotten-born sham Confederation of the .State* of Germany.The sentence of banishment pronounced hy Charles Theodor Dalberg against tin- Bamn Walter had of course lapsed with the Grand Duchy, and the baron wa* at fierfect lilierty to return to his native city.He came liac.k, aftet an absence of five years, iierfectly restored, to all outward ap|iearance at least, to health ami strength, physical and inorad.The murder of the old Jew and the execution of the truculent tailor had hern swept off men's memories by the impetuous current of event* ; and the Frankforter* really took so very little interest in the defunct affair, that they would not even trouble to remember Bsrou Walter\u2019s once notorious hair-brained effort* to rescue the atrocious criminal from hisriihly-deserved fate.Still to some very few of them who would occasionally just allude to the affair in a merely cursory way the baron wouhl confess, with a «mile of pity at his own past folly, that he was jierfectly cured now of all doubt or uncertainty on the point of Poaselt'a guilt, sod that he only marvelled bow ha could ever have been brought toaapoua tha oauaa of auch « mowftwt rilUin, Baron Walter had travelled much and in many parts, and he ha*l had ample occasion and many opportunities of observing ami studying the institutions of many land*.He waa a man of high birth and immense wealth.It wa* quite natural, therefore, that hi* fellow-citizens should essay to secure his vast experience for the benefit of their beloved city.But, strange to aay, the baron refused steadily to accept civic office and civic honor of any kind.He told hi* friends in a playful way that he was the nllent beggar alive, and that the merest shadow of the least possible work or responsibility was enough to frighten hi* indolent mind out of all propriety.\t.» , .So, after a time, they ceaar.l their import uni ties to force office upon him : they «lesisted the more readilv a* thev found him fully up to the mark iu the fulfilment of his social obligation* : he acted as the most princely Amphitryon that Frankfort had ever been able to b»»ast of.He was, indeed, the most charming host that ever enterteiuetl guest* ; an 1 at the many banquets, which he gave with truly profuse liberality, be «ras the gayest of the gay, albeit tluxse who lived more in hi* intimacy wouhl occasionally detect a sudden sharp spasm of pain flitting over his smiling feature*, and darkening the sunny expression of hi* fa»-e.However, this excited but little remark, a* it was well known how fine-strung wa* the baron\u2019s nervim* organization, and how fearfully the death »>f hi* uncle had affected and shaken him at the time.That such a splendid catch in the matrimonial fishpond a* this Frankfort Crcasu* should set all match-making mother* and all marriageable young la»lie* of the pla»v angling and netting wa* only -pi te natural ; hut the great fish ateadfast-ly decline»! nibbling at the most tempting bait*, and gave the in-»st alluring *ilk nets a wide berth.When driven into a corner by some more than ordinarily enterprising and deter, mined matron or maiden, he would jocularly declare that he was horn a Whelor, and meant to die a bachelor, and that hi* love and admiration of the sex wa* catholic, embracing the entire female community, so that he could never bring himself to make an invidious »li«tinction in favor of any one individual member of it.Ten more year* |\u2022al^.*^\u2022 l away thu*.Vri»»-> mortal turn oa/c mortem fthr, which ia intended to mean h»»re, freely translate»!, that th»-oldest and wiliest bai'heîor, »o long a* there is breath in his bo»ly, i* never quite proof against the snare* and pit (all* laid and spread for him by the fair sex, and may find himself matrimonially noosed before he even dream* of it.So also here.A |*atrician of Frankfort, who had lived *om' twenty-five years in I-on-fon, and had married there, returned about this time to hi* native city a widower, accompanied by hi* only daught* r and hrin-s*.a bewitching young maiden of eighteen, to whom the Bar-.n Walter «as intro-du-e«l at a ball given by the Austrian consul-general.Before the baron had been an h-ur under th-* magic charm of this youn/ lady\u2019s marvellous beauty and brilliant conversation, he felt that he had at last met hi* fate.From real ro»»te.l disinclination to the married state he struggled hard against it, however, even to the extent of going sway from Frankfort for a time to avuid meeting hi* enslaver.All in vain.He felt ao irresistibly attracted to her that he had to come ltack The young lady, on her part, being the revere- of indifferent to the highborn, handsome, ru b, and accomplished man, it came naturally to paa* that six months after their first meeting they gave a moat gorgeous marriage festival ami banquet to an extensive circle of friend* in Frankfort.The yonng couple live«l happily together ap-patently for several year*.The baron continued to keep Oja-Il hou*e, and the baroness |troved a most charming hostew».There seemed really to be no cloud in the bright sky of these favorite* of fortune, except, perhaps, that their marriage remained childless.But in the intimacy of their inner life all was not so lightsome aa it looked to outward seeming- The baroness had soon di*covrre*nt*for hi.f-rfnl gnUt hr doing good with hi.in>n»*n,\u2018'\t* hut, .1m, thrre wm .uraa niton hi.crin»«-.t.»n«i hand, and no ,\u2018ood crop would evrr .pring from iU «.wing.The P*»* wife wa.moet «adly and gnevou.ly .(Tfcted hv thi.fearful confeaaion of guilt ;

a quarter or any other silver coin of a considerable size to give, you mav hold it in plain sight between your thumb an-1 I-»'* finger, and when you deposit it you must let it drop from a comparatively lofty elevation, so that it mav nuke a musical jingle when it .reached its destination ; thirdly, tf you contemplate offering a bill, you must not take the money -ut of your vest |«)cket until the happy ttm-comes when v-mr neighl*onrs can »x*st see your un|«ralleled generosity.The moment the col-lector apj>ears at the p»-* -hmr is tne one when vou must fumble for your money, ami then hav-ing methodically unfolded the bill and out on v-mr eye-glasses to ascertain its denomination, vou mav slowly put it in the top of the box.These three rules, we Ix-lievc, xyill be sufficient for all ordinary purposes.N.B.\u2014A button should always be placed in a blank envelop.\u2014 Mark Tira in.neglect and bad \u2018reatineqt, in fatal tuberculosis or bronchitis.Remedy the evil while then* is yet time with Dr.Thomas\u2019 Electric Gil* which applied outwardly and taken inwarxlly, produces tbe m»»st beneficent effect*.PhvMCians classify it among the most aalutary of known reiiieilirs, and in addition to evidence as to it* virtues as a pulmonic, experience haa shown it to be a reliable curative »xf rheumatism, neuralgia, pile», kidney complaints, soreness ami tumors.Sob!
