Although on intimate terms with Royalty, and allied by birth as well as by marriage with the most au- cient of Britain's nobility, Dean Stanley was essentially a man of the people, one of the most accomplish- ed theologians of the age, and the undisputed leader of the "Broad His pulpit was Church" party. always open to preachers of every creed, and although at times his ut ter republicanism in church matters occasionally led him into difficulties with the high church dignatories, the great mass of the people almost in- variably supported his policy against the whole beach of Bishops. Dean Stanley lost a little of his popu larity with the people, owing to his too ready acquiescence in Her Majesty's wish to erect a memorial in Westminster Abbey to the late Prince Imperial; but the particulars of the successful opposition which was organised, against what was justly deemed a desecration of Eng- laud's sacred repository for the mighty dead, and a gross insult to a friendly power, are of too recent a date to require further reference. Of all the great and good Englishmen who quictly rest within the historic shades of the old Abbey, we question if any one of Britains famous sons has better claims to be honored by a grateful country than Arthur Pen- rhyn Stanley-Requiescat in pace.

ing our authorities, will leave the Hongkong public to judge whether it is politic, decent, honest, honorable, or desirable that any public journal should be permitted unchallenged, and with impunity, to traduce the Governor of Hongkong, or any other person, in the manner which has been done by the China Mail. The London. correspondent of the New York World, in dealing with recent Irish troubles telegraphed to his paper as follows:---

"Parnell's followers take Pope Hennessy and William Keogh for their model as Irish patriots.”

Taking this telegram for his text the China Mail says:—

"Why is it that our sub-editorial mind, on being satisfied that it quite grasps what these words mean, goes right back to the Hongkong subscrip- tion to the Trish Famine Fund? Why do our fingers ran through the flies of the China Mail until we come to the issue of March 6th, 1890. And what do we find there concerning Sir John Pope Hennessy and the pestiferous Parnell ?

Dean Stanley was famous not only for his almost match- less attainments as a profound scholar, and accomplished littérateur, but also for certain charms of person, which, added to the extremely liber- al character of his religious convic- tions and policy, combined to place. him in the front rank of modern pulpit orators. Lacking the fervid eloquence which specially character- ised the sermons of his great London rival, Dr. Liddon, the celebrated Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, Dean Stanley relied for success as a popular preacher on his solid scholarly ac- quirements, his undoubted skill as a debater, and the sympathetic and

According to telegrams received in London on the 20th instant, the dis- turbances amongst the disaffected tribes in Tunis were reported to have assumed threatening dimensions. All the largo towns (the towns in Tunis, by the way, are neither very numerous, nor very large), were threatened with outbreaks, of a similar character doubt- less to that which the French so speedi- ly extinguished at Sfax.

The Judge asked how he made that out.

Mr. Wotton said 500 of the 1080. rifies had bayonets with theri, 200 of the rifles were redelivered, and thus loft 380 riffes without bayonets. The claim was for the non-delivery of these 380 bayonots.

Mr. Russell observed that it might be his density, but he must confess that he had not yet grasped how Mr. Wotton

made out these numbers. The learned statistician explained that he claimed the difference between 4,200, and 7,760 which was 3,560. They had only
