LORD BEACONS FIELD ON WOMAN’S OBSTINACY.

A French critic of Lord Beaconsfield’s letters, recently published, adds an anecdote of his own which, at least, deserves citing. Some one was discoursing in his presence on the obstinacy of woman. “Yes,” interposed Mr. Disraeli, as he then was; “take the example of my wife. I had all the difficulty in the world to induce her to range herself among the women of 30. At length she consented, but no power on earth can, after an interval of twenty years, induce her to loosen the connection. ” No woman is educated who is not equal to the successful management of a family. Three are now 3,000 teachers of elocution in this country, and hardly a dozen orators. About $3,000,000 worth of Ameri-can-made locomotives are sent away yearly.
