A It use Which Rouged Lord Dudley and
Formed a Friendship.
One of the earls of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in a very awkward
predicament on a certain occasion, if a
6 tery told of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the liouso
of a friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had a long drive back to his
own home.
When the bonr arrived, the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was considerably annoyed by
the delay, one of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordship's house,
politely offered him a scat in his car
Tho gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove a very so
ciable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and immediately relapsed into silence,
. , ,
fcis thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently be
began to speak in a low, but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan
ion, to his astonishment, heard him say:
"I'm very sorry I accepted his offer.
I don't know the man. It was civil cer
tainly, but the worst is I suppose I
must ask him to dinner."
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
his thoughts and
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when tne voice
of his companion broke the stillness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly inntat
;
j
;
i
ed Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
"Perhaps he'll think I did :t to make
his acquaintance. Why, I would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. I hope lie won't ask me to din
ner, for I shan't accept his invitation. "
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gorie. He listened to the other's words,
immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered his
hand to his companion, making many
apologies for his involuntary rudeness.
Tho stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends.—Youth's Companion.
Kugltali Jacobite Societies.
To judge from the list of Jacobite
clubs and associations given iu tho
"Legitimist Calendar For 1895," which
includes the order of the White Roses,
the Devon White Rose club, the Legiti
mist Jacobite League of Great Britain
and Ireland (ponderous title!), the East
ern Counties' (shade of Cromwell!)
White Cockade club, the Forty-fivo club
of Grimsby, the Glasgow Jacobite club,
the Oxford University Legitimist club,
the St. Ives (Hunts) Jacobite club, the
Jacobite Restoration league, the Surrey
White Rose league, the Mary Stuart
club of Lanark, the Legitimist Regis
tration union, the National Royalist
and Jacobite association, the order of
St. Germain and the Hemingford Grey
Royal Oak club, not to mention our old
familiar Thames Valley Jacobites and
two or three foreign legitimist bodies,
it ought not to be difficult for the sup
porters of the lost house of Stuart to
put several hundred adherents in tho
field (or even Ludgate circus; if they so
decide.—London Mail.

Bismarck of Jewish Descent.
Few people are aware that Prince
Bismarck is of Hebrew descent. He de
rives his Jewish blood from bis mother,
whose lather—Anastasius Menken, one
of the favorite bureaucrats of Frederick
the Great—was of Hebrew parentage.
Although of late it has evidently ap
peared politic to tho prince to coun
tenance the anti-Semitic movement both
in Germany and Austria, yet while iu
office lie invariably showed himself a
good friend to the Jewish nation and
chose the Hebrew banker at Berlin,
Baron von Bleickroeier, as his most
trusted confidant. Indeed, in those days
he was so well disposed toward the
Jews that be even discussed the advis-!
ability of marrying his sons to Jewesses
on the ground that it would bring moil
ey into the family again and likewise
"improve both morally aud physically
the Bismarck breed."—International!

Planted by Milton In Christ's College Gar
dens, Cambridge.
In the gardens of Christ's college,
Cambridge, stands a venerable mulberry
tree, which, tradition says, was planted
by Milton during the time when he was
a student at the university. This would
be between the years 1<524 and 16:12,
for the following copy, from the Latin
of his entry of admission, accurately
lixes the former date, and his admission
to the degree of M. A., to which he pro
ceeded in the- latter year, ended his in
timate connection with the university:
"John Milton, native of London, son
of John Milton, was initiated in the
elements of letters under Mr. Gill, mas
ter of St. Paul's school; was admitted
a lesser pensioner Feb. 12, 1624, under
Mr. Chappell and paid entrance fee,
10 s." He was thou 16 years and 2
months old.
Tho tree so intimately associated
with his name is now much decayed,
but in order to preserve it as much as
possible from the ravages of time many
of the branches have been covered with
sheet lead and are further supported by
stout wooden props, while the trunk has
been buried in a mound of earth. The
luxuriance of the foliage and the crop
of fruit which it auuually bears are
i proof of its vitality, but to insure
against accidents and perpetuate the
tree an offshoot has b-seu planted close

by. In the event of a bough breaking
and falling it is divided with even jus
tice among the fellows of the college,
and many pieces are thus preserved as
mementos of the poet. It was during
his residence at Cambridge that he com
posed his ode, "Du the Morning of
Christ's Nativity. " "Lycidas," too, is
intimately connected with Milton's life
at t be university, since it was written
in memory of Edward King, his college
friend and contemporary, with whom
ho doubtless shared the same rooms.
In those days students did not, as
now, occupy separate apartments, as
witness the original statutes of the col
lege, "In which chambers our wish is
that the fellows sleep two and two, but
the scholars four aud four, " in conse
quence of which a much closer intimacy
.was formed among them than is now
possible. Dr. Johnson relates that Mil
ton was flogged at Cambridge, but the
fact is doubtful, though there is reason
to suppose that he hud differences with
the authorities iu the earlier part of his
college career, since he was transferred
from his original tutor. This tree is
still pointed out to visitors and was un
til recent years especially marked by a
bough of mistletoe growing upon it.—

Dr. Max Muller relates that the lat 8
queen of Holland frequently came to
England ami was fond of meeting while
there distinguished literary people. On
one occasion she lunched with Dean
Stanley and asked him to invite several
literary men, among Vhom were Tenny
son, Lord Houghton, Huxley and Max
Muller himself.
Luuchecn was ready, and everybody
had come to the deanery except Tenny
son. Dean Stanley suggested that the
> party should wait no longer, but the
qui u refused to sit. down before the
laureate's arrival. There was another
period of waiting, painful to all the
company.
Finally some one suggested that prob
ably Tennyson was "mooning about in
the cloisters somewhere. " Uuo was sent
to see, and the poet was indeed found
there, apparently oblivious that any
thing was going on. He was brought iQ
and placed at the table next the queen
of the Netherlands.
The queen took tho conversation into
her own hands and in particular tried
to draw Tennyson out. He waa not in
talking mood. Sho addressed him *
question.
"Yes, ma'am," ho answered.
Then there was another question.
"No, ma'am," came from Tennyson.
Again she asked his opinion about
something. The question was not sus
ceptible of answer by "Yes" or "No."
"Ma'am," said Tennyson after a
great effort, "there is a great deal to be
said on both sides of the question. "
Presently he turned and whispered *o
Max Muller, "1 wish they had put some
of you talking fellows next to regina. "
