WHAT THE 'WORLD' SAYS.

ofcj< Atlas" in the 'World,' " is the name by which Beacousfieid is best known by M. Garabetta and the Garabettists just now in Paris. Two years is the time which M. Gamhettii assigns to our Prime Minister before England "wakes from her trance." When this interval expires, M. Gambetta predicted with charming confidence in conversation the other day. "England will be hopelessly embarrassed by her annexations, and your working classes desperate against over-taxation and militaryism. You will have taken Egypt, we sha'l have taken Tunis; nor sliall we grudge you the acquisition, because we know perfectly well that the V bill will drive John Bidl to madness and """your working classes will be ripe for revolution and the Republic." A letter from Cyprus informs me that by the middle of October all the Indian > troops and one European regiment will V be withdrawn from the Island, and the 1 staff very greatly reduced Colonel "Greaves will still remain as staff-officer, and Sir Garnet Wolseley will of course retain his personal staff, as well of an military secretary, but the re- \''. nTainder of his present staff wi:l probably '* return to England some lime in October. ; Another royal personage is in search of f an Irish home. There is every reason for believing that the Empress of Austria will not be the only royal lady who will witness the meetings of the "Wards" ■ in the coming hunting season. They say i that the Duke of Connaught and the j| Princess Louise of Prussia are on the 11 look-out for a Koyal residence in the ') neighbourhood of the Hill of Tara ; and that, failing thr favourable issue of negotiations at present proceeding, his Royal ' Highness will build a hunting bos for 5 himself. The very neighbourhood of ' Tara will be happi'y chosen ; for the i . Royal Duke with an Irish title will lose , nothing by connecticg himself with the ■ : locality of all others in Ireland mp.de -sacred by kingly tradition. Dublin i society is in the seventh heaven at the prospect of seeing so much Royalty, and the gayest of gay seasons is presaged. " Among other on dits from the neighbourhood of Ivildare-street, is one that the Prince Imperial will join the members of the Ward Hunt, and another that Lord Mayor Tarpey will welcome officially the Duke of Connaught and his bride to Irelaud, and will leave office with a, title." To people who are asking why we have had no new novel from Miss Broughton since ' Joan,' let me say that the author of •jSTancy' is prevented giving time to jjittrary matters by a change in. home needless to enlarge upon. .. Fortune is not favouring Hie daily journals through the present silly season. There is no Bravo case, no Detective trial, no Penge mystery, no Small-pox Hospital Tnquiry° to fill up the yearning columns, as has been the case in former years. The 1-esult is in the extreme. The mcs ' is nsthe 'Telegraph' -oiild be were it not for Mr Sola's amusing letters from Paris. As no foxes are to be found,.the editors try to run a drag ; -Hie oracle of Peterborough court starting Aits old friend, 'The Clerk's Grievance,' Wm the professor of Arabic in Prmting-P'-uise square making a feeble attempt With 'Physician's Fees.' Nothing could ■be more abStod than some of the letters

of this last controversy has brought forth. Doctors receive infinitely less in proportion than all other skill. 1 ''en who exercise a much smni r ii.iiaeivv >ver the well being of their fellow cn-mures. As a body they alv gvnerous ami liberal to a degree, in innumerable cases give their time and services gratuitously, and certainly are worthy of the two-guinea fee which the grumbling patient would not hesitate to spend upon the dinner or the debauch which brings him howling to the doctor's door.
