That scems to be plain enough from the last of tho Liverpool s specches, Ordinarily a government may be defeated on some outside question, as Glad- stone was in 1885 on the budget.

Thatis a pretty bad lookout for the people who are laying wires to trin up Jan, Spec now made very clear, rs of over—for instance, the Crofters, thell Welsh church, local government and @ dozen others dangerous subjeets. The government may be defeated in any of these and yet it will stick fast. What will Mr. Gladstone say to that! He may make the country ring with denuncia- tions of what he can describe as Lord Salis- bury’s arbitrary and unconstitutional course. There may be a tremendous hubjbub,and it is quite clear that Salisbury would not hav taken a resolution Ifke this without consult- ing with Hartington, and thus the whole unionist party must be agreed to accept no defeat as involving the fate of the mimstr unless it arrives on the Iri stion. How it can arrive on that with a majority of overa hundred to support the main lines of the ministerial Irish policy it is very bard to see. The startling ultimatum must affect the whole course of the session from beginning to end. What will be the use of planning in- tricate schemes for catehing the government unawares if it will not go when it is beaten? Of coursc mo ministry could stand long against a succession of defeats, but from what quarter is blow after blow to fall? It is not visible to the men who study minutely every inch of ground. The second point brought into light is equally important, only it concerns the con- servatife party exclusively. They are told that they must make up their minds to swal- low than is agrecable.

The Ivish question dissolves everything like a powerful acid. I very much doubt whether anybody really admires the present position of affairs, but nobody has the power to alterit. Ireland may not gov- crn itself, but is she not governing English parties and practically dictating the course of all British legislation. It looks very much like it. Wait till the radical blue pill is stuffed into the mouth of your good old-fash- ioned tory.

[Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxnoy, Jan. 14.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to the Bee.]—While Charles Dick- cns is keeping the memory of his father green—to borrow a figure from the “Haunted Man’'—the sccond son of the novelist, Henry \ding Dickens, recorder of deeds, is doing DICK es8 a8 the same filial thing in the courts of London and Kent, He much resembles his father, whose cleverness of oratory he has decidedly inherited. Within the past week he hus three times made hits in sharply criticizimg a wit- ness who was seventy-seven years old, His opponent retorted; “What about Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, Mr. Glad- stone and the Emperor William, who are aged men with grand memories?” Mr. Dickens answered; “There are a few constellations as well as a myriad of mere twinkl in the aged firmament of intellect as in the stellar firmament.” Yesterday he represented a successful plaintiff who sued in the queen’s bench for the return of some stock fraudulently exacted from bun in the Charles Dickeus silver mine, “I am bound to say,” he observed in opening his address, “that the famly have no interest in the mine, but have every reason to see that the name is not misused.” To-day Mr. Dickens was in the central criminhl court defending Harry Thomas, an heir, a gentlemanly looking young man, an artist, who was charged upon several in- dictments with endeavoring to extort money from Mary Flizabeth Turner by menace and also with threatening to publish a libel upon the same lady with a similar object. The story which Mr. Dickens had t) meet om cross-examination makes a cause celebre in the dark pages of eriminal blackmail records. The prosecutrix deposed that she had been married seven years, They resided in Raleigh cottage, Regents Park. She was in the habit of at- tending All Saints chureh, Cavendish square. “The prisoner was in the choir and his voice attracted her attention three years ago. One day as she was leaving the church the pris- oner spoke to her and told her that his name was Henry Graham and he was aware that she udmired his voice. Ho made the sug- gestion that she should meet him in private and hear him sing at his roows in Oxford strect, used for singing purposes. She was curiously fascinated by him aud she met the prisoner at these rooms once a week for one year and the prisoner used to smng both secular and sacred music to her. something the prisoner In consequence of aid as to the expense of a music room she sent €5, Upon another oceasion she gave the prisoner This took place after they had been acquainted for twelve months, Ome time the prisoner told her he had found out that some one had been following them. She asked whether he had given this man any money and he told her he wanted £30 within & week and that it was to her advantage to let him ve it She told him she would see what she could do. Immediately after this she communicated all that had taken place | between her und the pris- to her husband. At the dictation of husband she wrote a letter to the pris- oner, addressed him as “Dear Harry,” promising to let him have what mon required as soon as she could. The prisoner wrote, pressing her to let him have the money for the man veferred to and she gave this letter to her husband. On the 14thof September the prisoner called upon her at herresidence in St. Johnwood. Her husband She asked him why come and she then told him that she oner, her and v he ‘was absent at this time. he informed her husband of everything. Mr. Dickens' cross examination was adroit. He did not inintimate any impropriety, but directed his inquiries toward the implication that the lady was fascinated by with the prisoner and her giving had and in love Jf the money was the result of tenderness and not menac But he could not shake oft the facts of client giving a false name or of an anonymous letter being in the prisoner’s writing. Mr. Dickens had that insinuating manner which, in the cyes of his father's novel, “Our Mutual Friend,” is so well described by the phr “I3ear with his jury stoop and eyeglass.” Then the accused was found guilty and sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment.

They have been in some- thing of a dilemma, = The dificulty was this: At the present moment he occupies an un- ique position. Being an ordinary plank- bedder and at the same time a first class mis- demeanant, the prison board was at its wits end to know in what catagory they should treat the doublyconvicted inmate untila happy thought as a compromise struck them. They sent down their chairman, who ordered a change in Mr. Shechey's treatmeat. He di- rected that the prisoner's three-legged stool should be removed and a wooden chair substituted—a brilliant stroke. As an ordinary prisoner Sheehey could not be per- mitted to sc first-class misdemenant he might have the best cushioned chair he Strictly speaking he could not have either, being a prisoner of both classes at the same moment, s0 the golden mean was strict that lies be- tween a modest ereepy stool and luxurious easy chair.
