In Arnerieneverybody feels that equality
not merely a name, and that the humblest
tizen may aspire to be President; bat an
ea prevails that in England class distine-
ons and "the cold shade of the aristo-
racy"prevent those who are born without
mel advantagenfrom ever rising to a high
osition. That idea is not eltogetber (*r-

quality in the Anglo-Saxon character, and

eined to place her highest pablie offices in

who never had a grandfather to speak of.
George Joachim Goscheu, the most dis-
inguished Chancellor of the Exchequer ef
uniern times, with the exception of hfr.
Gladstone, and. the most influential mem-
ber of the Salisbury 3/Misty next to the
Premier, auel the First Lord of the treasury,
is a marked. Metanceof a rid -idle -class men
who lia.s risen to a high position. His father
was a London :Merchant of not great prom-
inence in business and of no sooial standing
at all, who was commonly supposed to be a
Germ= Jew, though in fact he was English
by birthancl was a Christian, whatever his
progenitors may have been, When young
Gosehea was hone, in 1831, to be suspected
of Jewieli lineage was a great disada antage•
No Jew could sit in either House of Parlia-
ment or hold any public office under the
Crown, or enter either of the universities ot
any of the nublic schools. Except in busi-
ness or on the turf, in fact, Jews were ex-
cluded front the avenues to euccess. The
elder Goschen boldly sent his son to Rugby
and to Oxford, and he distingaithed himself
to ninth by his scbolarship and his inde-
pendence of tharacter that he regained the
reapeet of all the men of sense among his
fellow -students. Ile bad to suffer a great
deal of ill-treatment, nevertheleen on as,
emit of his Hebrew physiognomy and
foreign name. Mauy of his coutenaporariesin
public affairs remember one little inciden-
of his life at Rugby, where lie was a favor-
ite pupil of Dr. Tait, the late Archbishop
of Canterbury. The students hati a very
offensive triele of inventing doggerel rhymes
like this:
I liana bit of pork,
letuck it an a fork,
And gave it to the 'lowboy Jew I
I had a bit of mutton,
I stuck it on A buttou,
And gave it to the Jew boy, Jew 1
1 bad a. bit of beef
I stuck it on a leaf,
Ana gave it to the Jew boy, Jew !
and so cm' with tiresome monotony. Gos-
chen tookthis very good tetnperedly till one
day a student who was old enough to know
better, and whose noble birth gave him
great prominence, went a, step too far. He
wrote the " pork " stanza on a piece of pap-
er, and pinned it up in the pew where tees.
cheu used to sit in chapel. The result was
an explosion of laughter among the students
dnring aervice, and an inquiry on the part
of the head master. Deetor Tait was quite
ready to runish the offender, but Goschen
begged him not to take any notice of the
affair. He intended to look after that mat-
ter bimself, He sought oat his tormenter
father, but if I were a Jew I would not b•O
asbamed of it and would not allow you to
insult me on account of it. I don't mind
what the yonng fellows do, because they
know no better, but as for you---" At
this point the fight began, and the noble
lord got the greatest hiding he ever had in
his life. He had the manliness to hake
hands with the victor and to beg his pardon
for what he had done, and the two young
men were excellent friends afterwards.
That happy mixture of good temper and
high spirit helped Goschen very much at
Oxford, mid it has helped hini very
much at other important perzodsof his life.
He left college with a good record, and
his father having made a great deal of
money, he went into business in the city
under favorable circumstances, becoming a
partner in his father's firm. In those days
it was inost uncommon for a city merchant
tention to what may be called financial dip-
lomacy. At that time .Egypt was over head
and ears in debtto French and Engltsh capi-
talists, and the affairs of thecoun try were in
sncit a horrible muddle that the interest was
unpaid, and the principal was in danger,
notwithstanding that the unhappy Egyptiens
were„around to the very earth by taxation.
ItIr. Goschen went traCaaro as' delegate for
the British bondholders and speedily devis-
ed, a scheme by whishthe Khedive was en-
abled to pay his debara
while .the crusbin
burdens of his people were greatly relieved',
It was a brilliant stroke of financial skill.
and, as it touched the'pockets of many thou-.
sands of very induential people in England,
it doubled Me. Gestheinseerepatation and
gave hire. a great maim on publio gratitude
Before this Mr. Goschen hadmiven a very
striking instance of the old spirit of inde-
pendence whieh he showeele at school and
college.' Finding that his seat as member
for the city of London was net altogether
comfortable and that his constitments were
inclined to grumble at some of his doings,
he boldly faced the situation, wrote a strong
letter, and retired from theseat at the first
opportunity. The electors of Ripon, in
Yorkshire, returned him without difficulty,
and he af tee:warn was elected for Edinburgh,
being me of the few men who ever sat in
Parliament for both the English and the
Scottish capital.
to ben man of high niteIlectuel attainments,
and Mr. Goschen soon became a marked
man, especially in relation to questions of
exchange and of commercial finance. He
became a director of the Bank of England
at an age when most young merchants are
occupied with the drudgery of their busi-
ness, and in 1863, at the age of thirty-two,
he was returned to Parliament as one of the
members for the city of London. Naturally
enough, one of the first things he did in
public life was neve an energetic support
to the measures for removing the disabilities
of the Jews, and plaeing people of all rolls,-
ious denominations on an equal footing.
At the general election two years later, he
had the high distinction of standing at the.
head of the poll for the city of London -
He at once retired from business and des
voted himself entirely to politics. Honore
Id! thickly on him. He was given a pleat
in Earl Russel's ministry as vice presiden-
of the Board of trade and made a mem
ber of the privy council, end after only
a few months' apprenticeship th office was
taken into the Cabinet as Chancellor of the
Ducby of Lancaster. It was at this time
that he came into close contact with Mr.
(Redstone, who formed a very high opine,
ion of his talents, especially in relation to
the subject of finance. Mr. Gladstone
may be said to be the first English states-
man who regarded questions of finance from
the point of view of the people. • Other fin-
anciers thought only of raising the greatest
amounb of taxation for the purposes of the
government; but Mr. Gladstone conceived
the idea of a progressive system of finance,
bywhich each year's Midget should bel'h
measure of reform, relieving the public bur-
dens and facilitating trade and indusery,
while yeti providing all the revenue requi red.
He believed he had found in Mr. Goschen
jot the man he wanted to help him in, this
work, and he lost no time in bringing him
to the front. When Mr. Gladstone came
into power ixt 1869 he gave Mr. Goschen one
high office in his Cabinet after another, and
identified him as closely as possible with
himself in his financial schemes; and he soon
had his reward. The Mmistry were de-
feated in 1874, and a general election fol-
lowed. There avaa a strong reaction against
the Liberal party, especially in London,
where the Conservatives carried every seat
but one. The solitary Liberal member for
whet had formerly been a Liberal strong-
hold was Mr. Goschen. Probably no other
man could have saved his party from utter
extinction in the city rbt that crisis,. 7
Being now old of office he turned his at -
In ISM came his memorable quarrel
with Mr. Gladstone on the home rule
question. 01 all the politicians who sev-
ered theinselyee from Mr.., Gladstone at
that time aud formed the Liberal-Uniouist
party tho two who ineurred the bitterest
displeasure of their former chief were
Inc exmolleagues. Sir George Trevolyan
and:Mr. Goschen. The (laud old mom
was besides hiinself with rage when he
heard of their defections, and he not only
covered them with abuse in terms quite
unworthy of him, but he took meesures
for driving them both out of public life.
Both were defeated at the polls, and Sir
George Trevolyarns courage gave way.
He cried peccavi and retierned to the
Gladstonian fold, Mr. Goseleen took a
very different course. Ile easily got an-
other seat, and at once beanie one of Mr.
Gladstones most formidable antagonists.
Re made him bitterly rue the day when
he called him a "Tory," and tried. to ex-
pel him from politics. Ile famished the
Unionist party with just what they stood
most in need of, an able finanoier, and to
crown his vengeance on Mr. Gladstone, he
stepped, luta the position that great man used
to AIL Ut, became Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer in Lord Sttliabury'a ',Ministry and
contributed incalculably to their success by
a succession of brilliant budgets, lowering
the ta.nation, paying off large .enins of na-
tional debnabolishing vexatious imposts, and
yet always baying handsome surplus. Iu
short, he has carried out in five years mea-
sures which Mr. Gladstone never hoped to
be able to carry in double the time. The
greatest of his exploits undoubtedly, end ono
by which he will be longest remembered, is
the reduction of the rate of interest en con-
sols from 3 per eent to 2 1-2 per cent, a mea-
sure which gave a great stimulus to industry
and commence both by cheapoing money
and by checking the tendency to hoard up
money unproductively.
TMs and other euch startling strides
ahead, however, have made Mr. Goachen
very unpopular with the Conservatives ;
and when the other day there was a talk of
his being made First Lord of the Treasury
in succession to Mn Smith, there was very
nearly revolt in the. party. To tell the
truth, Mr. Gasohol' is not liked. No one
min deny his ability or his many valuable
qualities • but lie is lacking in. that rare
faculty of conciliation, which made Mr.
Smith so powerful, and equally so in that
lofty courtesy and chivalrous unselfishness

has never succeeded in becoming quite a
militiamen, and that will, probably steed in
the way of his over attaining the highesb
positions of all.
Yet he has a very agreeable society side,
and there is no jollier follow in congenial
company. The place to see Mr. Goschen at
his best is at one of Augustus Harris' supper
parties at Drury Lane Theater, where the
cleverest men and the prettiest women in
England are gathered round the festive
boiled, eating the choicest food and drink-
ing the finest wine, and bringing out their
very best natural gifts for the general de-
light of the company. .1:here the Chancellor

.An Indian Fat Woman.
Mrs. Chippewa, the largest woman in the
world, died on February 2nd at Dog Lake,
an Indian reservation on the shores of Lake
Manitoba, distant from Winnipeg a little
over 100 miles. The avoirdupois of the de-•
ceased was phenomenal. She tipped the
scalesat over 700 pounds a few days before
she died. The cause of death, though an
I autopsy has not been made, was undoubted-
ly due to fatty degeneration of the heart.
The woman was born 47 years ago on the
shores of Hndson Bay. She moved to Lake
Manitoba district with her parents seven-
teen years ago, where she has since resided,
excepting a few weeks spent in the Winni-
peg museum six years ago. At that time
she weighed 624 pounds, She was five feet
eleven inches in height, and e full-blooded
squaw. After death the body, was placed:
in a coffin seven feet long and . five feet

of the Prince Victor of Hohenleheeand a
general protest has arisen against the -cus-
tom which demands that ineurnees shall
Stand bare -headed at the grave in all sorts
of weather. 1
The doctors say that many, deathlacan
traced directly to this practice, Miff, poiht
out that the dead cannot be eenefited by the
sufferings of the living., The,Lancet goes so
far as to declare that only planons in robust
health ought to be permitted te attend -
'funerals in bad weather. and enforces its
amgnment by referring 1.0 tile death of a't pro-
minent Liverpool merchant, which was
caused solely by expesure at the burial of a
dead. •
The now Cunerders are each to be over
600 feet long and to register 13,500 gross
tone. The engines will be miervels,and their
/waver will be far in excess of auything
afloat'. It is also intended to have these
ships outstrip all others engaged in the At-
lentic trade in elegance of equipment.
When the City of Paris broke the record,
coveriug the distance from Queenstown to
this port in 5 days, 19 hours and 13 minutes,
two years ago, her engines developed about
23,000 horsepower, so that to get the odd
hotirs out of the -way a vessel with -nearly 3,-
000 tons more weight to carry will require
30,000 effeetive horse power, and 11 18 ex-
pected that the twin-screw engines of these
two new vessels will actually work 'up to
that fignre.
In 1891 therecord was made by the White
Star line Teutonic, which covered the dis.
hence from Sandy Hook to Queenstown in 5
days, 12 hours and 3 minutes, steaming in
that time 2,790 knots. in order to cover
the distance hi five days an average speed of
twenty-three and one-half knots per hoar—
equal to about twenty-seven land miles will
have to be maintained. It is said that mill
of the Cniutrders now in process of construc-
tion on the Clyde will cost 4410;000.
ALL PVT TN GOOD SHAPE.
During the past two months nearly every
one of the fast ships has been overhauled.
Extensive work has bon done upon all
and have been put in first-class condition
preparatory to the commencement of the
Sprinm and Summer voyage'. Already much
booking has been done by the varioue lines,
aud there is every indication that the east-
ward passenger business this season will sur-
pass that of any previous year. By April
1 every one of the rot ocean flyers will be
running on its regular trips east and west.
Of the total number of vessels that will run
thirty-six may be classed as specially ban
but of this number there will be only five
contestants for honors as record makers or
breakers, as far as the Now York -Queens-
town voyages are concerned, The five will
be the City of Paris and City of New York
of the Inman line, the Teutonic and. Majes-
tio of the White Star lino, and the new
Canarder, and all interest will centre during
the season in the performance of these grey-
hounds.
The contestants in other 1Mes will prob-
ably be confined to the Fuerst Bismarck,
Normannia, and Columbia of the Hanaberg-
an. aaaa.ennee imerl elemtir,--alr nil 'ilea:m.40
between Southampton and this port, and
La Touraine and La Bourgogne of the
French line between Havre and New York.
lt is confidently expected in shipping cir-
cles that these records will be lowered thie
year, perhaps by the sane ships, as a num-
ber of improvements sitet changes in machi-
nery, screw and draught have been effected.
The impression that increase of speed means
increase of danger has gradually fallen away.
The increase of speed in railways has not in..
creased the danger of travelling by rail, and
no good reason prevails why it should be
more dangerous to cross the Atlantic in a
fast ship than in a slow One
SLOW MIPS OAIT1138 MD.
Many persons, however, prefet a slow
ship from choice, and for those who are
timid there will be plenty of vessels the day
of which, for what is now known as 'fast
voyages, is over. Fast sbips of all
'well-
managed companies are sailed as care-
fully as slower and less induable vessels
perhaps. more carefully, and no accident or,
loss of ships has yet been recorded which
has been caused by extraordinary speed.

Napoleon Bonaparte on the island, of St,
Helena. Collagen entered the English navy
in 1811. In 1819 he was sent to St. Helena
to watch over the great emperor. Callaghan
loved to relate his reminiscences of Napo-
leon, and always said that the fallen ruler
hail a great liking for him.
President and Madame Carnet set aside
$6000 at Christmas -time to be divided
among three hundred newly made widows,
Madame Carnet's offerings consisted of
bundles of clothes, carefully selected with
a view to the requirements of the families
for whom they were intended.; and to avoid
loss of time, tend also to guard against
rousing the curiosity of the neighbors, the
ezarcels were sent by express.
The pioneer gold miner of Australia,
Edward H. Hargreaves, has died at Sydney
at the age of '75. He reached Australia from
England in 1832, and went afterwards to
California. When digging there he was
struelt with the similarity of the country to
this distriot in Ness' South Wales, and he
returned and found gold and began the
Bathurst diggings. He received, a reward
of $50,000 from the Goverument of New
South Wales, and in 1877 a pension of $1,-
250 aud $11,500 from the Government of
Victoria.
Mr. Samuel Butler is lecturing in Eng-
land on the question, "Was Homer a We-
ill= 1" He believes the Iliad was written
by a man, but he regards the Odyssey as
the product of a woman. The reasons he al-
leges for his belief are not complimentary
to the fairsex. He says the poems allow in-
credible ignorance of the detail of common
every -day matters. The author evidently
knew nothing about ships and displayed
ignoranee in other ways. He ventures to
say that if the Odyssey were to appear
anonymously for the first time now there is

Cardinal Manning was a tall, gaunt mat
with a vigorous frame and a large head that
wore the impress of old Roman firmness
and he looked like the picture of a greet
churchman of old. He was a teetotaler
unlike many of his predecessors, and ate
only enough to keep body and mind in a
healthy condition. There was absolutely
no ostentation about him. W hen he was
made a Cardinal an influential member o
his flock said to him : "1 would like to ser.

Signs of Advanoing Years,
"Do you know the surest indication of
old age ?" asked Dr. Reed of a number of
friends at the Lindell. "The surest indica-
tions in man," he continued, "aro a moist
eye, a dry palm and a ahrinkage of the calf
of the leg, All these indications are due to
some action of the nerves cousequent upon
advaneing years, In the matter of the eye,
the fifth section is interfered with, and it is
this which causes a flow of water. The dry-
ness of the palm is produced by an inter-
ference with the functions of the body, also
due to the action of the nerves, and the
shrinkage of the leg follows from similar
causes. In old age, too, you notice some
men become more corpulent than in the
earlier portions of their lives. With drink-
ing men the change is often -produced by the
quantity of saccharine wich they consume
with their drink, and with those who donot
drink it follows from other physiological
changes. As eo the hair becoming grey, it
results, iu the majority of cases, from the
partial closing Of the hair cells andthe re-
duction of the quantity of natural coloring
matter which the dosingproduces. With
women the dimness of the eye does not come
so soon as it does in men."
An Intimating Relic.
A most interesting relic, which British
Columbia proposes to send to the world's
fair, is the wreck of the old Huds.on Bay
Company's steamboat Beaver, which was
the first steamboat to stir the waters of the
Pacifie of the North American coast. The
wreck of tho Heaver lies, with its nose on
the shore and its stern in about twelve feet
of water, at the entrance to Vancouver har-
bor, where it was run aground and abandon-
ed in 1833. The engines and Boilers are
intact, the maiumast and smdkestak are
standing, and enough of the wheelhouse
and deck cabin remain to show what the
vessel was. The wreck can be raised easily
and transported. It is proposed to exhibit
it alongside the models of the latest Aden -
b c greyhounds, such as. the Majestic and
the City of Paris.
