MIDLOTHIAN.
AN LSQUIRY INTO MR GLADSTONK'S NEW
EST PKOCESSES OF OKATORY.
London. Ootobor Of*.
Mr. Gladstone's Iateat JJHJot-U-l speei'hcs may
be discussed from more points of view than one.
They are worth cuusidering. for inst-nce. aa
exomplea of oratory and rhetoric. In onler to
do that, let us try, if poasible, to forget the
aubjeot matter. or, hetter still, let ua mppose
the Inah Question to belong to a period of history
ao remotc aa no longer to raine pa?aiona on <?ne
alde or the other. It la. I adtnit, quite impossible
to belleve that it doee not rouae Mr. Gladstone's
paaalona, hut what I mean ia that in considerlng
bia treatment of it tbe niatters of oontrovetay
whioh be handles so freely need not be entered
upon by those who wi?h only to see how he
-andlea Unto. A rhetorioal method tnay be
crittt-ised for good or for ill without reference to
tlie merits of the subject to which It is applied.
There is. in the flrst plaoe. teatimony from
every side which leavegno doubt on one point.
Tlie great. Home Kuler, 0-969 eighty-tirst birthday
U so uear. waa in wonderful f?nn. IWing obliged
to J?ly oo tlie teatimony ol nthers. I prefer tliat
of hia opponents when it is favorab.e. " Mr.
Gladatone spoke," aa,\a tbe Edinburgh eorre
apondent of the ebief I'nianist jour.nal of the
I'nited Ktngdom, "with the energy of a young
man, and with tho self-ootumand and cool judg
ment nnd fertlllty of resouroe of a man in the
prlme of HfC."' If, then. theie ?>e nny falling
off iu his speaking, lt need not lie set down to
age. Tbe same writor dwclla on his cleamess of
UbinkJug, aptness of illustration, skill in mareliall
Ing faets and aieumciit*. casy command of all
the arta of persuasive eloquence. He waa, to
all BfpOO986*0, in lull posae.-^ion of all his re
Boureea. So the ijuestion recurs, what use he
those to make of tliem?
It must be taken that he did ehoose. Mr.
niadstone bas nlwaya bad more manners than
one. He haa proved a tliousand times tliat he
ean appeal to rcasoti, to conscienco. to the sober
judgment of hia hearers. to their better feelinas
Sometimea he haa prefvrrefl to addreas himself
08 their passions. ln onler to enub e you to
judge for yourselves which line he took on this
occaston. I have compiled from his llrst speeeb
an imperfeet catalogue of some of the more.
remarkable wordB and phrasrs he emp'oved.
I will give it aa I set it dow.u going over the
speech pencil in hand: only remarklng, by way
of explanation, that these tcrnis are, witb very
few exceptions, if any. applied by Mr. Gladatone
to the government of Ireland, or to the law
under wbieh Ireland is ruled, or to the adminis
tration and oflicers of the law: the magigtrates,
tbe police. and others. Tlieie are repetitions. but
they are Mr. Gladstone's, and for convenience* sake
I have arranged this colleetion ia a Ubular
forru, and put a headllne to it:

Now Mr. Gla.lstone Is an orator, who, nntil
of laie years, avoided this violenoe of speech. I
think you might 8-8086 a period ol twenty years
?any twenty years before 1S8G?and from all his
many orutions during all that stretch of years
lin.1 yourself unable t>o colleot a list comparabje

periods and 6R8i in tbe front of raHtiy a desperate
batUe He has had. tbat is, plenty of provoca

part. th9tol09fl from Hai-fl it. These rhetorical
ooto-jrnoa came on after the defeat of his Home
Kule Ul! in the lloisc of Coumions in June, 18K?.
If you rcstore some of tiiTNC liery wordB to
their conte\t. the 80801 of tbeui wili not he

ihe law-not only one law, bu' tbe wbole s.ystom
of law, in lreland-and those w!io execute lt. Bttt
lie does not shrink. When he h-s a dellnite object
bofOIO blui. hia courage is OROOl t6 aiiythiug. lie
faoes the tiuestion. Un inetbod to whicb be re
aott* will 06088 out not less clearly than before,
er uiore clearly, if we make a little antholugy of
aentence*, ns well as worda. Atter deuouueing tbe
systoin of law. Mr (.ladstone aiys:
? Tho administratfon of tlie law is a great deal
worse Uian tbe law itself. -OO administr^tion ot
the law is sueh that it 900099 tbe law to be
hated Bf tbe lnsb : yes, and causes sueh a state
of tliiii^s tliat tlie Irish ought to hate the law.*'
I iiat is not all:
'? l ?.i lurtber, and say that the conduct of
the adiuini_tr_toi-s of the law is in many respect.-,
Buch as to aiuount to a coutiuuul provoo-tion to
breacbes ot tbe law. aud to make it perlectly
woinierliil that these breaches of the law are
not in Ireland infinitely more frequent than they
are.'
Then he goea f urther still:
"Tne worst count ol my mdictment of the Gov
erntneiit is this: tbat tbe tiovernment itoelf is
of all tlie gieatost uiaster ajid the most periect
pattoin of illegality."'
None of tlioae ooiioernetl in the maintenanee of
pnblic order in Ireland escape. The Government
ia detiouneed, aa we have just bobo. The magia
trates, fur the moment, are represaatad by Mr.
Shannon.
? Mr. Siannon is sent home to sit on the bench
and try >lr. Dillon for hu coneam in the pre
tejidet") riot at Tipperary. lt is impossible to carry
indeoency further."
Aud again :
"I Bay that to put Mr. Shannon on tbe bene.li
waa a grc&a injustice and scandal.**
And ouce again:
"Tlie _c_ndal8 are ao great that they epeak fur
themaclves. Tliey uiak- the law Intctul in the
view \>t the Irish people, aud if tbe eoene weie
okoagod fruoi the other side, and ?ucb trioks and
pranks shoulil bc piayed here by tbe BBBtBBMBI i
of power, you wonld lind a very short wu.v <>iit j
of lt."
Presently we come to a stronger phrnse,
"That inaolence aml that provocathe coursc of j
oonduot which makcs obcdience to tlie law nearly
impossible.
Tlie police farc almost worse tl.an Minisiers
and magistrates. They are oharged witl. BBW
ardiee?I am not sure whether the word is uaed.
but the thing Is clearly Imputed to them. They
are charged wlth " sl.adowing," of wl.ieh Mr.
(iladston.'s opinion i* such that he telW the in
llammable Irish people hmglishmen 01 Scotclin.cn
if thua followed " would disponse with the people
who mai-cbed by their side in a very siimmaiy
vray." They are churged with " the insoleut vi.da
tlon of prlvate doiuiclit*'." They BM charged
with brutollty. It ia said of Mitcl.elstown-tor
Mitchelstown haa to do duty once more:
" In no peiiod of history, civilized or uncivili7pd,
has there been more gross, deplorahie, thorough
illegallty eommitted by a government."
And the police are accused of being the ag
gressors. Tlie people who, belng a bundred to
one, attackeil them with stiel-s were "not wrong :
they were the defenders of the law against the
police." And the poliee being " ll BB dapger
whatever, lired out of the barrnoks on the peaplc
aud killed three men." Finally. the polic BM
not neeiled, the greater part of then., to reprcss
crin.r, they are there "to eolloi tl.e rents of the
landlords.-' Alter stnting the cost of the Irish po?
lice, Mr. Gladstone says:
" (Jentleinen, you pay that sum to collect the
venU of tiie Irish landlords."
Anl adds:
'? The rents of the landlord* ln this eountry
must lie colieoted as dehts bv civil pn.cc.s. but
in Ireland wlienever the rent In to hc eollected
down come the police and the military. and it
is at once understood that pructically even the
Army of the Qi-MB is in the lield agaiust the
people "
t'onsider, for one moment, the force of the
word " whenever": and the fact that over a great
part of Ireland rent* are paid penc.efully and
punctually
I.o'iki'd ut. as a piece of rhetorie Mr. Gladstone'*
specch is an appeal to niuis. If it hc a true pict
ure of Ireland, arn.ed rcvolution would he a
natural renicdy for such a stale ol Ihings: per
haps the only renicdy. Vet I apprehend it is not
Mr Gladataae'a puipose ta incite tiie Irish people
to revolution. Tlis real ain. is ta win over a ma?
jority of the constiuieneic.s in Kngland and Scot
land and get back to power. That is his end,
and tlie au-thods he uses ta attain it are such as
we see. llut what is to Ik* said of an orator,

was vrry much ln l"\e with that hatidsome and
?Bllaal young soldier, and would have uiade a

taiight her wiscr counsels. Ile lOBBw that any
sl|(.h .si'ipide would _MM bopelcss political
?nd soeial ruin for them both, aud dissnuded her
from it. It was well, 1'or another reason. that
hc did so, sinec they were dooincd to part, for it
,.?rrd her of her infattiation for him. Love gave
waa B. alqat. If ha did not lova her eaougfa

the son of the Pl-BB. of Schnumbiir.-Llpne. who
is one of the richest royal persona^cs in Europe.

a very large fortune ha is well ahle to provide

The bridegroom. Frinec Adolf Wilhelm Vietor,
is now thirf.v-one yemN "ld. aeven yerrs the
senior of his hride. Re is B handsome man, tall

One sometimea feela like dbubting tlnt tiVr. U

EUcotrloal llght h-a bean one of tha faVortta ia
vc ii tion* of late yeara. It baa be?n haUBd a. a de
liv.rer or our theatre* from tbe '.angar Of flrc. and
from that of exploaion ln the minaa where it la
used. It appeara tbat it haa aiao Ita drawbaoka,
and very grave onea, and thia la ehown ln a re?
port presented to the Aeodeut.- o/ Surgio-I Soianoe
by Dr. Deafontalnes, tlie Tbngfot the inedical
stafT at the Creuaot coal mlnea and iron worka.
He has diacovered that we can reoeJve mjury from
electric lhrht almilar to tbat oauaed by suuatroke.
The ordinary are lighte are falrly aafe, and when
they do harui lt ia only to the eyea. Uut atrauge
maladiea ariae in tlia coal and iron mlnea at
Creusot, where many lampa of a high caodle
power are grouped often together for apecial pur

an afTinlty suffer moat. After rcmaining an hour
or tl.ereabouta ln a powerful electrical light, their
faces, tieoka and hands, these belng the part. ex
powed, begin to tinglc and itch and then to grow
brick-red. Tlielr aight ia affected and everythinf
looka aaflron-colorod to them. Tl.e laohrymoae
.i.inir* are atrongly stimulated. Tcara roli down
the cheeka, and there ia tlie aenaation of a grala
of saud under the eye-lid, with inliammation of
the conunctiva, which lanta for four or flve daya
Tl.e other s.vmptoma are headacho, fever and
picling off of the reddened skln. Heat playa a
part in aunatroke. It playa no pnrt ln electro
light stroke, aince at twelve yards dlstance from
an are lninp the effect above deaerlbed ia pr?
duced. Dr. Desfontainea attrlbutea the stroke to
the chcmieal action of the llght, and . eclares that
it deterioratcs the retina, the conjunctiva and
even the p'ulp of the hmin, aud murt lend to a
revolution ln oplithalmology, because it will alter
the constitution of the eye.
Tlie " Kpipitheorissm," an Athenian dailv paper,
annouuees tli.it a marriage _> arranged betw<en tlie
seeond danghter of the King of Greece and the
< zjirewitch. The arrangoment ia to be oflicialiy
declared when that princc next viait. Athcna,
whioh he ia to do la October. There ia a rule of
the lireek Church forb.dding marriogeg bet.weeu
couaiiiB. Rut it haa lieen often hroken through
by the Iniperijil famiiy. Tlie Grand Duchesa Helena
was a great-nlece of her huaband, the Grand Duko
Iflohad Puulovitch. Cathcrine the Great waa a
llrst cnuain of Pch-r the Third, who waa atraugled
hy OrlolT at her instigatlon. Moat of tbe Olden
l.urg I'nncea married within thia oentury to Kua
siau Princesaes have l>een either rlrat cousina or
one degreii further removed from their wivea.
Tlie entrance of a bride who ia a very near rela
tive into a royal famUy causea less frictlon to
the reigning onea than that of a stmnger. \Vh*n
s'ue is a niece, acoBatomed to them from her
cbildhood. she is obedient to them, and things ko
nicely. They do not fear t*> ba severely judired
even when they go very far wrong, by the iu*
eoming niemlier of the famiiy, or to llnd in her a
aharp critic, ahould they continue in ohjectionahle
habita which they may have confracted. Thua,
the late Duehcss of Kent was anxioiis wl.cn her
daaghter, Queen Victoria, waa a young girl, to
liave her own nephew, Prime AHiert of Sa.\e
Cobarg, for a son-in-law. Tlie Comtesae de Paria
likewise wishes the Duc d'Orleana to marry tha
Ptiaeaaa Margaarila de chartrcs, the Caiata de
i'ari*' nieei'. Marguerite srrcw up under the eyea
of the OaartB and (ointesse de Pnris and is t?o
much accustouied to them to bl stnrtled by the
hird .hootiug, cigar suioking, or other manuiah
ways of the Comtesae. No doubt the C/arina
would look forward wlth painful npprehenaion to
the reign of a daunhter-in-law who was not a
dutiliil niece, and that BBBBB the intend?d b reach
of the Greek Church ruk* prohihiting the ii.?rrlage
of the C.arewiteh and the Athenian Princesa, who
haa been a good deal at St. Petershurg and haa
lieen a memlier of ali the famiiy parties I'ornied
hy the Kngliah, Rus8ian. Grtvlc, Hanover
ian and Danish descendanta of the Kmg and
QaBBB of Denmark. at their country plare, near
Copenhagen. The Queen of Greece was a rathei
fine-looking woman before ahe had her preaent

A few years ago ahe, with her parcnts and brother.
and sisters, pald B visit of several wevks to
