Lord Acton, who by right of his wife plays the part of host to Mr. Gladstone in his sit to Bavaria, is an intimate friend and disciple of Dr. Dollinger, and was, during the vatican councll, hisactive agzent in oppos- Ing, in union with Mousignor Dupanioup, the Bishop of Orleans, the definition of the doctrine of papal infallability. Unlike the Bishop of Orleans, Dr. Dollinger refused to accept the vatican decree and still is i re- bellion azainst Ryme. Lord Acton was only restrained, 1 believe, from following the example of his ancient master by the kindly influences and_moderate counsels Newman. The late premier’s pamphleton Vaticanism is undoubtedly the main point of union between Mr. Giladstone and Dr, Dollinger, but 1 should not at any day be surprised to learn that Mr. Gladstone had become a Roman Catholie, This would great feather in Lord Acton’s cap. THE T NCE'S IEAD GEAR. 7 next grows pathetie, saying: Ridiculons people are writing to the papers begging the Prince of Wales to discard his tall hat in London toa pot hat instead. [ have protested before against this relaxation of good mauners in the matter of wearing tailless coats in London, but I shudder to think of what the park would look like if the men were to turn out in stalkers and billy cocks. Weare being a little bit overdone in the way of colonies, but [hope that the thor- oughly colonial eustom of wearing pot hats with black coats will never be the fashion, THE DIRAMATIC CRITIC, The Whitchall Review thus answers the recent criticiem made by Boucicault on the dramatic entie, who, after the first represen- ation of a play, hurries away to the ofti and waiting for dear life and weary to death, produces, not a valuable eriticism, but a probably unfair report of what he has scen. The Whitehall Review thinks “weary to death” is not complimentary to the dramat- ists and adds: A proper eritie, well versed as he must necds be in the laws which regu- late dramatic construetion, sees at onee what needs mending and what to be omitted, He finds no difliculty in at once transmitting his impressions to paper, and generally writes a more trenchant and complete review than the who wants a week. The best proof of this is the excellence of criticisms which appear in the daily papers on the morning after tne production of a new pi It seldom happens that the play turns ot a suceess if the crities declare it a failure, It is nomore diflisult for a practicised eritic to sit down immediately after the play and re- cord in a capable und just manner, his im- pression than it is for a_leader writer to pro- duce a criticism on a_debate in parliament, which isonly concluded in the small hours of the moraing. The public look for both in Bhe papers which come out in the morning after the events, AMERICA AND ANARCHIST! The Whitehall Review reverses its field glass on the United States when observing: Itis not a little amusing to note the double- faced action indulged n by the American press over the question of anarchy. So long as thisis under the disguise of fenianism, socialism and dynamiting, conducted to the detriment of English life and property, the Americans and their press lave no sympathy 10 xpreess for these troubles, but when the sore form of rebellion takes place in America the instigators and perpetrators of civil re- bellion are hunted down, captured, tried and condemned. But, then, what happens in Chicago is one thing and what happens in London is another, AMERICAN GIRLS FOR WALESY. ‘I'he St, Stephen’s Review gives this kindly paragraph to America: ‘The Prince of Wales is delighting English society at Hamburg, but the fair Amerieans are almost monopo- lizing his attention, Mrs. Cunard is the reigning beauty there, and 1l that she and the heir-apparent are to be seen driving about daily, There is a charm about the American women which it is diflicult to ex- press. Is it that they are wore radiant and vivacious than the average womau AN OLD 5PORT'S CONDITION, William Allison, wno signs all the St. Stephen’s gossip, remarks in deseribing sporting inn: George Fordham, among other celebrities, 08 sometimes to this same bar parlor, He is fairly well, but one of his lungs is entirely gone and he has a nasty cough, Tordham stoppe d riding for the reason th he was short of breath for the finish and felt that he could not do justice to his mounts, Ho is very well to do, und in fact always has been, statements as to his having lost money through M, Lefeyvre and been redue to penury being untrue, WHY DILKE SHAVED, But Allisou makes sport of the new Dilke question, “Why did he shave?” Possibly Sir Charles had been reading Edward and come upon the imwmoral rhyme of the old man witha beard who Lound two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren nestiing therein, 1t he learns that the old man found so many denizens in his beard, why should not Sir Char'es look in his and nd the missing wit- ness at the recent trial? ROYALTIES IN SPORTING DRE The Court and and Review, re ferring to the royalties at the Udenburg show, asks: Am Ltoo fanciful in suppos- g that the costuies of some were intend- ing as symbolical of August sports? The princes Henry of Battenberg, in o crown dress, with & hgh straw hat and feathers, evidently meant grouse. The duchess of Conuaught, in u dress of salmon color, with pink trimmings, meant the Sprey fishings, while a heathen foreground, a ehecked ulster thrown oyer the shoulders, was no doubt au ingenius mothod of conveying the idea of the condi tion of Beltast.

Why, if the academy Is burst, instead of wishing to pul- verize the fragents, art critics and patrons shouid combine to reconstruct it English art has been Killed by the pot-boilers, When our magnilicent painters have to paint so many portraits a week to live it is all up with art. Our $10,000 a year painters have de- graded English painting and the erities and connoissenrs have gloried in their fall. Ap- parently the bankruptey of a leadime painting is only a sign of the times. It the public are believing that English art hes gone to the bad, they will not buy 500 guinea pictares, even though they be the praduct of academicians, Unless the public buy the pictures, Norman show villas, boathouses, cottazes in the garden of Surrey, and boxes on the Seoteh moors canuot be kept voinz. A member of leading painters have eseaped the stain of court triuls, by pri- vate settlement of their debts, but the great erash is et to come.

Lafe furnishes an excellent large picture of Ada Rehan, but is uncomplimentary to her country in this paragraph: The drollest scenes, 1 hear, are daily enacted at the Amer- fean legation, where, in consequence of the vast throng of Yankees who have come over this summer and who dare not go to Italy for fear of the cholera, there is constant trouble as aresult of the inability of Mr. Phelps to seat the entire evowd of some thousands at his table, Eve e in England wants to go into society, and becanse Mr, Phelps cannot accommodate all, their wrath is immense.

Life saw itine Baker Pasha in Lon- don last week looking very, very old, a change from the once da “Tenth hussar: What shing eolonel of the Imet him in Oxford street and at first searcely knew hlm. It thinks it nota little curious that in “Zadkiels Al- manacs,” trouble in Turkey and a_revolution in parv of the sultan’s dominions are foretold for August. Captain Morrisons, the original Zadkiel, is dead, but his successor in the propliet husiness has made a hit this time. NNPROBABLE STORIES COME TRUE, Apropos of this revolution, Clement Seott, the editor of the Dramatic Review, remarks: “The other day I bought a little book at one of Smith's stalls, called “Glady’s reril,” by John Coleman, the central ineident in which is the kidnapping of the hero by a band of Bulgarian brigands, from the British palace of the consulate at Sofia. Yet people, when they read stories of this kind, say: “How improbable.” vieron 1A AND A BABY. Modern dociety is the first to foreshadow an interesting royal event, hitherto only breathed about in swell circles—the queen’s intention is to spend three months in the highlands, But she will be guided by certain domestic exigencies, If these demand the visit will be curtailed and the court will be ordered to cross the Tweed weeks earlier, The fact is that her majesty is anticipating with eagerness her favorite role of monthly nurs sometime before ristmas, Herself the mother of nine, the sovereign lady can wash and dress a baby with any woman and can generally diagnose the trouble when a child cries. ‘The queen’s skill in baby nursing was acquired from the famous Mrs, Lilly, who attended her majesty at the bivth of the nine royal children, This execllent person was a great favorite with the queen, who honored her with her confidence upon the most deli- cate mat When Mrs. Lilly died, in her ninety-sccond year, her wmajesty unaflestedly grieved, fecling she had lost a true friend. The old nurse to the last proved worthy of Ler mistress’ eonfidence, and could never be tempted to reveal the secrets of the boudoir, or even enter into gossip relative to thoe royal household, al- thor adiwitted with pride that notonly did the queen talk with her upon subjects she probably never mentioned to another #oul, but that the prince consort would fre- quently relax in gher presence, invite her candid opinion upon the last new baby, and beg to be told the very latest nursery news, A DEVIL OF A HORSE, “Rapier,” in the Ilustrated Sporting News, says: 1suppose that Eole, who made sueh & failure in England, is not quite forgotten, though he never did anything here to werit remembrance He is still on his legs, as viclous as ever. An account of a recent American race meeting states that Eole acted like a perfeet devil on Tuesday, despite all of Snedeker trying to fool him for weeks past, Snedeker wishes Mr. Gebhardt would take him out of training, as there is no profit in handling such a beast. 1lis temper was entively ruined during his stay in England.,” What ruined him is & question to which I should like to have as answer, for I am eertain no hors are more considerately, kindly and intelli- gently treated than those at Danbury, whete Eolo was trained during his profitless stay in Englana.

The prinee’s presence would have a great effect in strengthening the opposition to Russia, but the foreign diplomats here ineline to the belief that great moral pressure will be used to prevent his reinstatement by the governments of ( many and Austria.

City or Mexico, August 50 [Special Telegram to the Ber.]—Reports have been carrent here since Friday night regarding the treatment of Sedgwick, American special agent in the Cutting case, who was on that evening one of the gnests at a ball given by one of the clubs of the city. The club in question is the most aristocratic in Mexico, among its members being ment oflicials of the highest resentatives of the most distinguished families. members of the club gave wick an invitation as a honor to an American representative, was received with marked tokens of resneet and every one endeavored to make the even ing agrecable to im, he being the most hon ored e owards the small hours of the morning, there was the usual flow of eham pague, and numerous toasts were drunk in oneof the rooms set apart for gentlemen. A careful investigation shows that Sedgwick, while undoubtedly paticipating in the con- vivial enjoyment of the hour, was in 1o way treated insolently. Members ot the club and its managers strenuously deny (hat any dis courtesy was intended or practiced toward Sedewick, who made an excellent impres: sion, To set at_ rest the injurions re- ports regarding Sedewick it is proposed by the leading resresentatives of the hizhest society of Mexico to give him a series of dan and receptions in order to make it evident that he hias the esteem of the Mexi- cans, Silence the ramor became current a Iarge number of reports have been in- civen Tation, but no person of reputation, or stand- ing, in the community, conversant’ with_ the matter supports thenr, Last evening Sedg- wick was & guest at a private house at dinner, at whicii were present Minister Mariscal of the department of foreign relations and Minister Romero Rubio of the interior de- partment. govern wd rep and The Sedi specal e oldest Sedgwick and His Spree.

According to the report he was entertained by a party of young Mexicans, and had wound up the evening in a rather dissipated condition, he and his companions creating a great deal of mnoise in the hotel where the United States envoy had putup. Mr. Sedg- wick’s friends indignantly repudiated the idea thathe could be guilty of the conduet with which he was charged. Seeretary of State Bayard was seen and asked if he knew anything of thereport. “Itisall new to me,” he said, “and I cannot believe it until' I have the most positive proof. I will not say it is not true, but I must be convineed that it is, L have known Mr. Sedgwick tor a number of years and knew that he had the most splendid private character and to my knowledge he was a most thorough gentleman. That he should be guilty of sueh a thing is beyond my compreliension. He s a married inan, with a kighly cultivated family and t he would commit the unpardonable act with which he is charged is something diflicult to believe. It is to be hoped it is not trae, but if it be true, Mr. Sedgwick will be recalled at one: sedgwick’s reputation while here is now lave been rather dubious, as far ashis associations are_concerned, and women and wine are asserted to have cost him some hun- dreds weekly.
