Astor divided his prop- erty. Ts has been that, Job Jacob Astor: the fatherot the iiving Wiles Waldort Astor, received the larger part of ia property. The lawyer said yesterday: “This s'a nustake, William B Astor, by the eleventh article of his will, gives all bis residuar: P one-balf son fo ani ef to his John for lif one-half to his son William for life, with power to-each to dispose of the half held ‘for his use, The two eons of William B.

Mr, Gladstone comes first whether in point of seniority or as the greateat member of par- liament now living. He has gained ground since 1886 by dint of sheer superiority to all rivals, His oratorical powers have not fallen off one atom, while his skill asa debater even seems to have become more consummate. When we came together in the first session the recollection of Gordon and Khartoum was strong upon us, and the man who was chiefly responsible for so much disaster could scarcely obtain a hearing. [have seen Mr. Gladstone obliged to stand silent for several moments until the mocking ny wp and murmars with which he was greeted subsided. Ina short time, however, his supremacy over everybody in the house began to tell, and those who hated him most were compelied to pay him the tribute of silence if not of open admiration.
