LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL.

Whatever he says or does, in jest or earnest, Lord Randolph Churchill's words and actions are made the subject of gfave comment' .Nothing succeeds like success, and if matters go on at this rate Lord Randolph' will be in ten years' time the only possible Prime Minister in the ranks ot the Conservative party. He has already gone a considerable distance in the direction of making himselr their de jure, and he is their de facto, leader. In skill, courage, readiness, knowledge of the Hou<e. or knowledge of human nature, he is the superior of Mr Gibson, of Lord George Hamilton, and of Mr Kdwaid Stanhope. He has done what no o'her member of the Conservative party has done, and what very few members of any party ever do at all. Hk has impressed the public mind with a sense of his mdi* viuuality. He has become, in his way, a personage. He is rapidly growing familiar to the English people. A man who has done this is on the high road to distinction of the most substantial kinct. Lord Beaconsfield had many years to wait before ue could induce the Ena-lishpejple to take him seriously ; Lord Randolph Churchill is only thirty-three years of age; he has only been eight years in Parliament and he is discussed by the daily press with the same gravity as Mr Gladstone hiiuseli. — World.
