Liberal camp, and there can be no doubt that the rumor has some basis of truth, but as I intimated yesterday, much as Gladstone might enjoy the repose, his final retiremont would be fatal to the prospects of the Liberal party. The party, even under its pro- sent leadership, is fast losing ground. Tuesday's municipal elections show clearly enough that Liberalism in its present form is becoming unpopular, and the defents in large cities cannot be attributed to the adverse Irish vote, as the Liberal papera assert. Calmer views are beginning to prevail in Eng- land about the wisdom of coorsion and the arrests in Ireland. It is certain that public opinion is tending more and more in favor of Conservatism.

In conclusion, he said thet previous to re- tiring he would give what explanations were considered necessary, and that the sooner the debate commenced the better. The discussion was then fixed for Saturday.
Roine, Nov. 4.The Govorament has prohibited meetings of Republicans and auti Clericals to commemorate the anniversary of the battle of Montano.

A young man who lives in Austio, and whose moustache is liko faith, "the evidence of things hoped for, the sub- stance of things not yet seen," called on his prospective father-in-law, and gave notice that he intended marrying the old gentleman's daughter at an early date. "It had better take place on some Saturday, so that it will not interfere with your school hours,"
sarcastically remarked the old man,
A substantial. breakfast necessitates a light lancheon. Is it then more pra- dent to eat heartily at eight or nine in the morning or at one or two in the afternoon? Captain Burton considers

Quarterly who could not eat their pound of beefsteak for breakfast. Some persons would feel too heavy for work. after such an herolo ropast, but neither would such persons feel in a bright condition for intellectum exertion after a substantial luncheon. And a great many men, again, mast absolutely chose between a solid breakfast and a soild luncheon, not being able to put off the principal meal of the day till the even- ing. Moreover, the consensus of doctora seems to be against such a practice. It is impossible to lay down any general rale, bat the safer plan, in the case of youth and health, would appear to be to take as good a breakfast as can be afforded and the lightest of lapchoons.
