enough lo he )4!e.l uun to carry the
iiamvof Disiai li wuU credit throu.h lL
world? Why pile Tellon upon Ossa by
adding ConingsiSy to Disraeli?
Of italpli Disraeli no one expected any
thing, because duriug his brother's llio ho
wns eclipsed, nnd he has alwnys been a bit
of recluse. Home time ago he obtained a
vory comfortnblo post in tho House of
Iirds as a clerk's assistant, with a salary
of 2,100 pounds a yeur. Yon will not see
his face if you go into the House of Lords,
for be sits with bis back to the door oppo
site tho Lord Chancellor. If you did sco
it you would find little or no resemblance
toLis famous brother. His features aro
much more strongly I fobraio In typo than
those of llenjnuiiii were evon in his litter
days when a decidedly grout alteration
passed over them, The Brunt statesman
Bulfurod much in personal appearance
from the ravages of time. As for Ralph,
ho has always carried the broadest murks
of his raco in his countenance.
It was Ralph's son, as I havo int'mnted,
who Inn now mado his debut. At Hath,
old city, nssiM-iiitod with lionu Nash, bher
idnn, Mr. l'ickwick or Coningsbv, Disraeli
informed his audience that the Irish ques
tion wns very engrossing.but ho had novur
been able to undentUtnd iU A good many
older and wiser men are in tho sumo posi
tion, if they only hud tho cournge to con
fess it He also declared that the repre
sentatives of Ireliind In Parliament hud
no sense of honor or shittuo, and no
thought for the welfare of their couptry.
Tlio very name patriot stunk in connec
tion with Mr. I'urnoll. Perhaps wan
smile crowHcd the weary fuco of Mr. Par
Hell us ho read these words.
It is something to have one's spooch re
ported, however briefly, at tho ago of
twenty-one. It is a beginning. Whether
the new Disraeli, the younger, will como
to anything or not remains to be soon. At
uny rule ho will hnvo an easier start than
his uncle. There will be no lack of help
ing hands stretched out tn him. Of course
he will desiro to cuter Parliament, and the
way will bo smoothed for him. When
Jtciijamiii Disraeli tried to get into tho
llouso of Commons everybody was op
pimed to him, including hi own relations,
one of whom condemned it as tho maddest
of all mad acts. As Dmrncli wroto and
told hi sisier at tho time, it ia not very of
ten, pcrliat, Hint hnlp or cncotiraoment
come from one's own relations when it ia
most needed. Disraeli's sister believed in
him, hut wn havo no record of the opin
ion of hi father or brother, lie got into
Parliament in spileof nil obstacle., and on
his I Irs', day he look up his Heat immedi
ately behind Sir Robert Peel on tho sec
ond bench, tho place which is usually oc
cupied by some old and well tneJ friend
of llio party, if not of thu minister. "Tou
jour nudaco" was tho motto of lteiij.imiii
Disraeli. People laughed nt lint, but
they soon heuan to rx o thut they had a
formidable power to reckon with.
"Next lo undoubted suecotn," wrote
Disraeli lo hi sinter, "llio best thing is to
make a ureal noise, and many article that
are daily written to nnnouneo my failure
only prove that I havo not failed. It may
bo that Coiiiiit:shy Disraeli boar this in
mind. Hoi ileterinued lo nmko a treat

tilinty, although tho appearance, even of
genius, will not now nuiko tho stir that it
did in 1:7. Are there, then, an many
geniuses among us? Scarcely this, but tho
level of ineiliociity ia higher than it was,
and H-oplo are contented with it, and
sometime mistake it for dm sacrc. Who
would not laugh at "Vivian (irt-y" if it
were irodurod now. Novels far cleverer
than Disraeli's nro published all the vear
round, and scarcely obtain a passing recog
nition. Young Coningsby must not expect to

more cynical and blase than it wa when

that the haj holds In Moslem estimation,
and the fact that trade invariably follows
tho pilgrim routes, aro woll known, ond
in fighting for the ono tho Senubnis prob
ably have In viow tho other also. At nny
rate, tho readiness shown by tho people of
Darfur and Kordofun to nock to
the . Kcnusii eiandard mny be set
down to i the intolerable state of
things brought about by tho
Muhdists, ;wLtj will neither engage
in trade themselves nor permit others to
do so. Tho Muhdists nro finding their
follow-Mohnmmedans less long suffering
than tho English. That this war against
the dervishes has taken the form ol a re
ligious movement is easily explicable.
Hostilities otfior than of an intertribal
character raSuly- occur in Islam, whoro
Moslem has to light against .Moslem, ex
cept under some sort of religious sanction.
Thus the Wahabi movement was pursued
vl ot urmis under tho sanction of the re
ligious reformer Wahab, nnd the Muhdist
movement under that of Mohammed
Ahmet), tho self-styled Mahdi. It has
been suggested that, if tlio Senussis undor
Abu (Jhuinza be completely victorious, tho
danger to Egypt may prove equally groat,
and may call for the serious consideration
of this country. Rut thu statu of tilings
in tho eastern Sudan can hardly be mado
worse than it bus been for the last live
years under the domination of the Muh
dists. Reaidos, we can greatly facilitate
tlio pilgrimage and promote trade; and in
tho present exhausted condition of the
Sudan that ought to count for something.
This wo know, that any attempt to con
duct peace negotiations Willi tho Muhdists
would bo utterly futile, and any chango
in the situntiou at Khartum can scarcely
be for tho worse.
Evon if wo discredit tho reported fall of
Khartum, the investment of tho town by
the Sudan tribes marching under tho vic
torious banner ot EI-.S niissi's lieutenant
must be imminent. Too Senussi invaders
nro probably well supplied with arms and
ammunition; for, ns wo pointed out aomo
months ago, an enormous trade In them
hasbeeu going ou between Tripoli and tho
interior for sotuo considerable tiuie. Thu
arms and ammunition could not hnvo
reached thu hands of tho Muhdists, They
would all bo absorbed by Ihe Senussis anil
their adherents. Tho pilgrims from far
Sokoto, which is under thu iullueiice of
thu lioyal Niger Company, umko their
way to Mecca by a roulo running east nnd
west through a series of well-populated
Mate iu llio Central Sudan, nnd then
through Darfur and the Eastern Sudan to
Suakiin or sotuo other port on tho Red
Sea. Tills gives us n glimpse of tho sissi
bilities in the way of irudo with a tHirtion
of Africa still outride the sphere of Euro
pean iiillueuep, if only tint Mahdisla and
their fanatical nun missuiiius iu regard to
friendly and commercial intercourse were
once got rid of. As wo buvo said, tho
Senussi movement cannot possibly bo
worse for ii and tho Sudauo.su than thu
Mahdist havo been. Wo can only hotte
that the upshot nf present events iirouud
kharltiin may bring about a better state of
thing than 'has prevailed then) since
Hicks I'.isha set out ajpon Lis ill-fated

BW ALLOWS ON EIFFEL TOWER.
From 'he London Telegraph.
A pair of swallow have built their nest
on tho vory summit of tho Lillel low or,
right under tho vast and flapping folds of
the greut tricolor. There tho little birds
flit and work and porch, bringing maturiul
for their lodging "a la belle elollu" all the
way from the mud and niortnr heaps bo
low to tho uppermost miter of the stupen
dous obelisk of lutlico work. Tho report
says they hnvo mado their abodo on tho
tiptop of the Eiflol Tower and Lave taken
possession as if tho structure had boon
built expressly for them. There is some
thing veiy clurming in this culm appro
priation, so characteristic of tho light aud
lively bird. Like other tourists, they hud
mado up llioir minds, doubtless, to seo
tho Exhibition, but also, like other
tourists, they wero much troubled about
lodgings. Moreover Iho enros of a family
must occupy swallows In May, and yet it
would-seem stupidity to bo at Paris nnd
not sco tho show. Arriving from tho
South, thev take a few turus in tho air,
nnd spy tlm Eiffel Tower. "The very
thing for us!" tho initio bird must have
exclaimed; "hero is a house l.OIKJ foot
bight, above tho smokoand away from tho
gamins! Wo can settle splendidly hero au
vingtiomc, and puss the best of ull possible
times," The hen bird agreeing iu his
viow that the lower was ruispd by M.
Eillel on purpose for swallows, tho couple
of small tourist., in black satin aud silver,
proceeded at once to discover a nice snug
nnglo in tho ironwork, and there they aro
now installed as comlorlatily as anv dis
tinguished arrivals, at tho Grand Hotel
or tho Louvre, with tlio additional
advantage of having nothing to pnv.

From tho Parti Figaro.
Having learned how difficult a thiug it
was to obtain an interview with Abdul-
Hamid II., I'felt a mighty longing for the
forbidden fruit, and eventually I enjoyed
it through the assistance of Mikaul-LUcndi,
tlio Secretary to tho Minister of Foreign
Affairs. Ho called for mo, at my botol, in
his carriage, and the vehicle took its tor
tuous way, first through tho grand street of
Peru, thon into break-nock roads around
and about immense barracks, uutil at last
it gained the bight of Orta-Kcni, and af
ter quito a long and portions voyage we
found ourselves before tliopalaco. Yildix-
Kiosk (Palace of tho Star), the actual resi
dence of the Sulian, is au isolated rotreat
where tho disturbances of tho outer world
can scarcely penetrate, and whoso inner
disturbances rarely and inexactly roach
the ears of tho outer world. The carriage
stopped in a narrow garden, where we ro-
uiuiiiod, under tho strict survcillanco ol
tho sentinels, while our names wore an

To the right, to the left, before and behind
us, trotted sentinels, soldiers, servants,
workmen (for they are forovur adding to
tho kiosk, and it threatens to becomo a

but nono entered the doors ol tho palace
aud I saw no one go out.
After a very few moments we .wero ad

and then through narrow galleries, between

a negro wHh cotli-e and cigarettes, while
