Lord Salisbury has tho reputation of being singular]}' detached from the world | of men and affairs, in short is “ an absentminded beggar.” A very good story of his absent-mindedness is going the round just now. Lord Salisbury, tho Bishop of London, and many others, happened to be in a room with the King. The King said to the Bishop, “Do you know what Lord Salisbury has just said about you ? Ho pointed you out and asked, ‘ Who is that young-looking cleric? ” And then, to save embarrassment of the Bishop, his Majesty, with that invariable geniality which is all his own, added, “ But you need not mind that. X just showed him the latest photograph of myself, and after looking at it some moments in silence ne said sympathetically, 1 Door old Bullet*,’ ”
