courage and returned him blQ'
blow on the floor of Parliament
few were more deeply affected b
announcement of Beaconsfield's d
than the present Premier of E
4 When the political history of
comes to be written, Gladstone an
T.J.ord Beaconsfield Dead.
Another great man has goue the way
of all flesh. Lord Beaconsfield, who
had been ill for some time, depat•ted
this life on Tuesday morning at 1alf-
past five o'clock. It is indeed sad en-
ing to think how rapidly, one after an-
otler,. the once great and powerful men
are disappearing from this scene, and
all alike are soon forgotten, and` no
matter how useful or powerful and ap-
parently indispeusable they may have
been, they are no sooner gone than
others rise up to take their places.
After all, it is well that it is so:, land
this may be looked upon as one of the
wisest dispensations of an all wise and
over -ruling Providence. During , the
latter part of last week his condition
seemed -to be considerably improved,
and his friends commenced to hope for
his recovery, bat on Sunday an nn -
favorable change . took place, and he
continued to grow rapidly worse until
Tuesday morning, when he paused
quietly away. It is said his "end was
peaceful, and he remained conacions
until the last.
Mr. Disraeli wag. born in 18.04, and
was:, therefore, in his seventy-seventh
year when he died. He first entered.
Parliament when he was 32, and 'his
career from that time until the close of
his existence wasa most brilliant one,
and he may fairly be said to have died
in. harness. - By his death the Conser
vatives. of England have lost a dis-
tinguished leader, and the world of
literature and fashion one of its most
brilliant ornaments. A contemporary
very correctly remarks : It has been
the lot of very few Englishmen to fight
life's battle 'against greater odds, and,
judged by the standard of success, but
few Englishmen with all the odds in
their favor have attained a higher fame.
Benjamin Disraeli was a despised:Hee
brew and a fashionable dandy ; he en-
tered public life as an adventurer,
without any fixed opinions, and what
he said, as well as his manner of saying
it, made friends and opponents !like
for a time feel that he was almost as
much an Ishmaeli:te as a Hebrew. !But
Disraeli was quick to discern his own
faults and shrewd to learn the temper
of his fellow men. He knew how and
when to fight., and he possessed ii an.
eminent degree that quality of p tick
which no other race of men in the
world so much admire as E.uglishijnen.
He studied the art of success and >inas-
tered it. As a debater and as a tacti-
cian no other man in the Conservative .
ranks, after PeeI was dead, could ap-
proach him, and when Lord Derby left
the stage, nobles and commons like
joined in paying homage to Diarae i as
their chief. It was the triumph o in-
'_ telleot,.and as such commands on ad-
. , miration. But, after all, Benj min
,:o Disraeli was only an artificial En 'jab-
man.. He had no genuine, ingrained
love for England as Gladstone, Bright
or Derby have. His views on subjects of
home politics and of foreign politics.
were always formed with an eye t the
main change.. He traded upon the
weaknesses andthe prejudices of Eng-
lishmen., and like the greatest m . n of
his own race he was in a large d gree
"all things to all men." But the mer -
Curial disposition cannot always , , ove
responsive to the public temper, and
Disraeli's imperialism and his jingoism
—though winning for him the coronet
of an earl—caused his overthrow at the'
very time he flattered himself to be
moat strongly entrenched in the ?affec-
tions of sovereign and people. His lit-
erary work is of a piece with his politi-
cal work. It is artificial and brilliant.
It is said. that Beaconsfield wa the
favorite Minister of the Queen anthat
a very strong feeling of friendship ex-
isted between them. Her Majesty is
reported to have said : "Lora Beacons-
field is always asking what I want
done ; Mr.. G i.aaaan .' :a ;sways tilling
me what be is going to do." The dif-
ference is quite apparent, and alts ough
the wishes of Her Majesty might have
greater `weiglit with Der. Gladstone than
with Mr. Disraeli, yet it is not difficult
te conceive why the latter was so very
pinch more in her favor tha the
farmer. It is worthy of mentibn,Ihow-
ever, as an instance of the amenities of
polities, that throughout Lord Beacons-
field's illness -the man who mad the
most kindly enquiries after hi was
the great chief who for more than a
generation faced him with unflin Bing
raeli will be the most cons
t. figures in it.

The how of bulls, taken upon t e

fair index of the increased interest ur
farmers are ii!ow taking in cattle raising.
The great feature of the day, how-

three coinpetaitors in the two year old
