organ, runs a parallel with Lord Palm erst on, who had a long lease of power after the age of seventy live years, whose supremacy was tranquil, and who dominated the House of Commons with an Olympian nonchalance. “It certainly seems odd,” said an ex American statesman to-day to your correspondent, “that the very newsnapors which bemoan the difficulties and dangers of the British Empire, brought about by the government, are to-day the loudest in praising the grand old man.” The Echo, a Radical paper, praises him with many “Ifs,” and blames him for yielding too much to his Cabinet. Five hours from London by rail to-day brought your correspondent to the quaintest city in England—Chester. A further ride of five miles iu a hansom brought him under the impressive battlements of peaceful Hawarden Castle, where Mr. Gladstone was found quietly celebrating the day, surrounded by his family. After half a century of parliamentary life the Prime Minister feels that he has earned the right to decline public ovations, and this right he rigorously used to day, much to the disappointment of many public bodies that sought to address him. The festivities of the day were strictly of a family nature, with the exception in favor of forty old women of the parish, who were invited to tea at the castle in honor of the day, by the Premier’s son, the Rev. Stephen Gladstone, rector of the little Hawarden church that shows its gothic tower from behind the tree3 adjoining his father's estate. Perhaps the most interesting person in the little gathering was the lady whom the young rector is soon to marry. Miss Mary Wilson, the daughter of a Liverpool doctor of large practice and means, but a savage Tory: but Mr. Gladstone forgives her sire, remembering that he was born in Liverpool, was educated in the Tory faith and for sometime practiced it. The marriage promises to be a happy one in all respects, oven as regards money, for young Mr. Gladstone draws over $15,000 a year from his church work. Not a had beginning for a young bridegroom of promise. The road from Hawarden Castle to Chester was alive from morning to night with special messengers to the Prime Minister. His rooms were littered with birthday gifts of every description, from some 200 correspondents. I should say. from a pen wiper to a silver ax. Every country of the world seemed to have chosen a representative article as a tribute to his genius and courage. His daughter, who re lieved the venerable Premier of the chief work of entertaining the callers, referred with pardonable pride to the striking evidence of the people’s love for him, especially among those far away who had never seen or heard him. The day was wholly de. o'.d of public in ident. Tin r were no triumphant arches or gatherings. It was a day of pure family recreation to Mr. Gladstone, while to the English people at large it has been the occasion for a burst of national eulogy and congratulation such as no British statesman has evoked from the press or the people at any time " before. Mr. Gladstone, in spite of his seventy-five years, looked a younger man than most hardworked New Yorkers at fifty. He had his slight stoop and his hair fast turning white, but his eye was bright and his mouth firm, and his hand, whether with pen or ax, as steady as ever. His conversation, which in copiousness resembles that of Charles Sumner, and in critical nicety that of Roscoe Conkling, shows not the faintest trace of senility. He w T as. of course, unwilling to have any subject broached that in any way resembled politics, and the conversation was naturally of a purely personal and domestic interest. America played a humorous part on the platform of the Chester Railway Station in defense of Mr. Gladstone's ax victories, tho defender asserting the dignity of the act by reference to Washington with his youthful hatchet, Horace Greely at Chappaqua, and Abraham Lincoln splitting rails—two Presidents and a candidate. FOREIGN MISCEL.Ii AN Y. Ihuigent Remarks of an Irish Member of Parliament at Glasgow*. London. Dec. 30.—T. M. Healy, member of Parliament for Monaghan, delivered an address at Glasgow, yesterday, in the course of which he said that Bannerman. Chief Secretary for Ireland, knew no more about Ireland than he (Healy) knew about Scotland. “How would Scotchmen, ” he asked, “like me to rule Scotland through scoundrels, robbers and men guilty of unspeakable offenses? Mr. Healey said he would rather accompany Joe Brady to the gallows than slink into the prisoner’s dock in company with Cornwall and French. Mr. Holley condemned OT)onovan Rossa’s policy as criminal and stupid, hut said he understood it because Rossa had been reared among the people and know their wrongs. A French t'liarley Kos§. Paris Letter. Paris has its Chartey Ross mystery, but in this case the boy is not missing—it is his identity that remains to be discovered. On Nov. 8, a lady, walking in the Jardin d’Acclimatation of the Bois do Boulogne, found a little boy, cold, frightened and hungry, -wandering aimlessly about among the crowd. Tho lady pitied him. She took the forlorn little creature home. He was wretchedly clad, but wheu his rags were removed the fineness of his skin and the cleanliness of his person proved him to come of parents woll-to do. Very little could be obtained from the boy, except that his name was Ferdinand. The name Clotilde also seemed familiar to him ns well as that of the seaport Boulogne. “Papa and mamma,” said the little fellow, “had carriages and horses. Mamma was dressed in silk. We lived in a great house with a garden. There was a big wall around the garden. Papa and mamma used to play on the piano. “One day,’’ continued the waif, “there was a great noise iu papa’s room; it sounded like ‘bourn.’ When I went in papa had fallen to the floor. He had a great hole in his forehead, and his nose was gone. His eyes were closed. Mamma stood there looking at him. Then mamma took oil all my fine clothes and made me put on these rags. She took me to a steamboat and told me to run on board.” The artless manner in which the little one tells his terrible story made a great impression on the by standers. The boy is very timid: the sound of steam whistles frightens him out ctf Iris wits. At night he has horrible dreams and starts out of his sleep to call for ‘tpapa.” The police have not been able to solve the mystery, and lielieve that some terrible domestic tragedy is at the bottom of it An Irritating Report Not Confirmed. London, Dec. 30. —The British government has received no advices confirming the report that the Russian agents at Cabul are treated by the Ameer with unusual regard and have access to his confidential correspondence with the Indian government. Cable Notes. It is reported that Queen Victoria has an pounced to the Privy Council the betrothal of J 'rincess Beatrice to Prince Henry, of Battenberg.

HOPES OF OFFICE-HOLDERS. Announcements Which Cause the Experienced Politician to Smile. Rosy Dreams of Office-Holders Which the Coming of Cleveland Will Eudelv Dispel— Notes aud Gossip of the Capital. CONTINUING CN OFFICE. The Slight Thread ou Which Scmuo OfficeHolders Bang Their Hope.. Special to the ludianapolie Journal. Washington. Dec. 30.—A good deal of amusement is afforded people in Washington, and especianv the politicians who are conversant with inside matters, by the announcements made of this and that man being assured that he is to be retained in office or appointed to position under Cleveland. All of this is the merest speculation, and most of it is ridiculous. An instance is afforded in the statement that S. P. Rounds is to he retained as Government Printer. It transpires that it is ridiculous for two reasons—Rounds is an ultra-Republican, and a man lias been fixed upon for the office; that is, he has been as firmly fixed upon as the circumstances will admit of. Mr. Rounds made speeches and expended money towards the defeat of Cleveland, whereas in the announcements that he is to be kept in his position it is stated that he is non partisan. The announcements were made for the purpose of forestalling the matter and keeping men out of the race who would otherwise be applicants for it. It is said by those who ought to know that Mr. Rounds does not expect to be retained. He was given the place by newspaper influence and party ties, and it is impossible that they could be manipulated to retain him under a change of party administration. It is said by Mr. Cleveland's friends that Wm. F. Rogers, ot Buffalo, was long ago promised the position of Public Printer by tho President-elect. Mr. Rogers is at present a member of Congress, and one of the committee on printing, of which Mr. Scales, of South Carolina, is chairman. Sir. Scales has retired from the House to take his seat as Governor, and Mr. Rogers is to be chairman of the committee. He is an old printer, and has been connected with the press at Buffalo for many years. He was always an ardent friend of Mr. Cleveland, and supported him for everything he was mentioned for. When Mr. Cleveland was nominated for the presidency Mr. Rogers had such unbounded faith in the ability of his friend to succeed that he declined to run again for Congress, and it was then that he was assured that he could be Government Printer should his party elect its candidate. The statements that other men are to he kept in their positions hang upon just tliosame unlikely threads as this one. While it is understood that Mr. Cleveland will, as far as practicable, observe the civil-service rules, there are none so foolish here as to believe that he will not recognize party obligations and fill the higher grades of office with men of his own creed. It is said there are a number of men in the Interior, Treasury and other departments trying to reconcile themselves to the belief that they will remain in their places —men who are not under eivil-service protection—bat they will not be serene long.

The Case of Sergeant Holtnorth. Washington, Dec. .30. —General Hazen has returned to the War Department the charges preferred.against Sergeant Otto Holtnorth, of having rifled Lieutenant Greely’s papers, preferring not to order a court-martial, although requested to do so by the Secretary of War. The chief signal officer assigns as a reason for this coume that a court ordered by him would he merely a garrisou court, with power to in flict no severer punishment than reduction in rank and short imprisonment. The charges against Holtnorth, if proven, should be followed, in the opinion of General Ilazen, b - more summary punishment than such a court is able to impose. General and Personal. Special to tno Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 36.—Gossips say the engagement of the President and Miss TilHe Frelinghuysen has been declared off on account of the accident which permanently crippled the latter.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS Two Youug Girls Almost Saflocated in Their Sleeping Apartment. Miserable Death of a Monroe County Miser —Fire at Kentland—Wage Reduction at Greencastle—Notes and Gleanings. INDIANA. Two Young Ladies Narrowly Escape Suffocation in Their Bed-Room. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Dec. 30.—Word was received here to-day of what came near proving a fatal accident to two daughters of Eli Bowers, living in Indian Creek township. Late in the evening a sheet-iron stove was placed in the girls’ sleeping apartment, but the store was not supplied with a pipe connecting it with the chimney. At the usual hour the two retired. About 1 o’clock the father heard a noise in the room, and entering, found the elder lying in her night clothes, on the floor, insensible, and tho other in bed unconscious. The room was dense with smoke. The girl on the floor was soon restored, having fainted as she tried to make her way out. Tho younger, however, was only brought to consciousness after several hours’ work. A stick of wood in the stove had filled the room with smoke, until they had almost suffocated.

Stanley says the length of the Congo river is 2,100 miles, and that the Mississippi and Nile together would scarcely equal its tribute of water to the ocean. From the mouth of the river a steamer drawing fifteen feet can steam up 110 miles, at which point a land journey of fifty-two miles is taken on account of the rapids. Then another steaming or rowing voyage of eighty-eight miles occurs, which is succeeded by a laud journey of ninety-five miles. After that it is possible to steam up another 1,060 miles. Along this route thirteen stations have been constructed among peaceful tribes. Tho banks and people upon them are now well known. The river marges show wide belts of forests, in the shade of which clusters of villages lie nestled; while close at hand are gardens and fields with a profuse abundauco on their surface, and stores of mineral wealth, it is believed, within their bosoms. There are spacious lakes, also; in fact, a known area of lake waters, in addition to Lake Tangauika, of 30,000 square miles in extent, which will probably be increased to upwards of 40,000 after more definite exploration. Co-Operation in England. Tho Rev. R. Heber Newton. I am surprised at the slight interest taken by the people of this country in co-operative and industrial associations. These are reforms, at least, in which Europe leads us a long way. There are 2,380 co-operative societies in Germany, with a membership of over 1.000.000, and last year they purchased over $375,000,000 of goods. In England there are 1,180 societies, with 600,000 members, which dealt in merchandise last year to the extent of $117,000,000. They were first organized in England in 1877, and last year the members saved on goods bought over $3,000,000, which, being reduced to an individual average, is equal to one fifteenth of the annual income of each member. These association* have buyers in every large market in the world, who are ever on tho alert to take advantage of a decline in prices. The benefits to be derived from these organizations are so obvious that tho time cannot be far distant when thoy will become popular here, as thoy undoubtedly should be.

Milk, cither fresh or sour, buttermilk, skimmed milk, mixed with meal, or in any other form, is j ast the thing for fowls. It will pay better to give waste milk to fowls than to pigs.
