Lonpos, Dec. 27.—Gladstone’s journey through England en route to Italy called forth extraordi- nary expressions of enthusiasm yesterday. The holiday trafic was much interfered with at the | rallways, owlag to the mob assembling at stations ‘where it was known Gladstone's train was due and indulging in tremendous cheering and calls for speeches, with which Gladstone complied. There 13 no doubt that while no statesman of living memory has been so mercilessly assailed by fashtonable and would-be fashionable society, no other has so succeeded in Winning the affection of countless supporters, Even in Kent, one of the most tory counties of England, where he recelved an address at Dover to-day, his journey was a triumphal progress. Although on the verge of completing hf seventy-eighth year, his firm, active and erect form 1s often recognized on the streets of London in the season, walking unat- tended at a rate of at least 4 miles an hour, stop- ping atevery book stall, turning over the books, not despising even the box containing 12-cent bar- gains, Yesterday HE APPRARED IN IIGH SPIRITS, and spoke in loud and clear tones with an air of confidence.

I have lived here, as You know, all my life, and was born within a mile of where J now reside. I think of the past a deal now, and many things which I not thought of before for years come to mind.
