Tiik other week several of the newspapers gave the ne.vs of Lord Winchelsea's serious illness ; this his lordship contradicted by means of the following letter to the editor of the Globe : — "Mr, — I wish you would take a little more care to verify your inteUigence. As far as I,kuow I am not even * dangerously ill ;' at least, if I am, I shall boon be worse, for I have just sat down to a lunch of which I enclose you the items, to save the trouble and distress of interviewing :— Livei wing of chicken (liver a little too much over- roasted); Cheshire cheese (m prime cut) ; glass of whiskey ana seltzer ; small glass of the bes t brandy to finish with. N.B. — They serve it out in small glasses at the Carl - ton. Under the^e ciroumstinces I have the pleasure to wish you, like Mother Hubbard's dog, the compliments of the season,— Winciiel.sea & Nottingham." A detailed statement has been picpared by the Executive of the Ii ish Loy al and Pattiotic Union, giving the liguies with regard to the votes for the Parnellitcs and Unionists at the recent elections, together with the total electorate of the 78 constituencies in which theie were contested elections. In Ulster, of 220,948 electors, there weie polled 68.230 Nationalists and 114 793 Unionists, leaving 37,993 uupolled. In Minister, Ltinbtcr, and (Jonnaught, of 364, 769 electors there polled 327,019 for Nationalists, and 30 3SO for Unionists, leaving 107,308 unpolled. The analysis, it is submitted, snows that the Parnellite vote is only 2412 over one half of the total electors in the contested constituencies, or, when the XJnioniat votes are added to the absentees, the Pamellites have only a majority of 4824. The Union Assisted in defraying the expenses of 48 candidates. " On -Tan. 15, at her resideuce, Pitt street, Kensington, Elizabeth, widow of the late Georae Hudson, Esq ,M.P., aged 99 years." Heie is a keynote of a sermon for the novelist This old lady, passing away in a small street in a submb. once lived in tho enormous mansion of Albert Gate which is now the French Embassy, as the vwfe of the Railway King, who had Royalties for his courtiers and blueblooded pecis for his subjects In the year 184b' he was at the height of his prosperity ; by 1853 theie was left '"none so poor to do him reveience " After his fall he lived at Paris and Boulogne, and readers of Foster will remember how Dickens s.aw him at the latter place in the year 1863—" a shabby man. standing on the brink of the pier, and waving his hat in a desolate manner. " Hudson died in Churton street, Pimlico, in December, '71, aged 70. Mis Hudson figuied as the Mrs Malaprop of her flay, just as Mrs L does atthepicsent time, and all kinds of ridiculous sayings were put into her mouth. Among them, I remember that she had a fine collection of bigotry and virtue, and thai she would not open her dravyin -r. rooms to the " canal." — "Atlas" in the \Voild. Bismarck's Biandv Bill h certainly a startling measure. It was intioduced in the Get man Reichstag on the 9lh of January, and i& ohaia<jteiise,l by the Pall Mall Gazette as " the deepest plunge that any piactical statesman has yet taken into the waters of state socialism." Raw Branntwcin is to remain in the hands of piivate individuals, but all spirits imported fiom abioad, the lectifying of spirits, their manufacture into alcoholic dunky, ,md the sale ot Branntwein, wholesale and retail, fall, according to 1 the proposed law, under the monopoly of tho btate. Thereby Prince Biauiaick would get at a stroke a net yearly lcveuuc for tho Impel ial Exchequer of £10,000,000. But tho proposal 'is als6 about' the biggest thing ever attempted in the way of temperance legislation. Uoie is the social side of the measure, for it would be at any time in the power of the Government to limit the number of dumshops vu-re the spirits should be on sale, as w til as to ensure purity and even luuounosness' in the Ikjuois supplied ; and, if this were not enouph, the Bill iiius the local-option principle at the same tune, and authoiises communes to levy an additional price up to GO per cent, on the monopoly selling piicu of spii its consumed within their aiea. A Hebo.— Colonel Bmovv, of the 19th, whose sadly sudden death at Cairo has attiacted inadequate notice in the Lon don Press, was every inch a cavalry Boldier, one for whom a brilliant career seemed open. He did much, to raise his regiment from comparative obscuiity to the honourable position it Qpw occupies. Though a strict disciplinaiian and a stickler for attention to details, lie never harassed his men while on active service, aud that he had won their hearts was attested by the devotion of those biave troopers who risked their lives to bear him wounded from the battle-field of El Teb. That he should have survived the torture of that day was a surprise to many who saw him brought in more dead than nlive, but opportunity was given him of adding some gallnnt deeds to his record before succumbing at last to his old inquiry. The strain of momentary exertion in a lawn tennis match at Cairo did nioi e harm than the hardships of a long campaign. The old wound reopened, and in a few hours the true soldier's heart was still His death happened on the annivei^aiy of the clay when, -with his 130 Hussars, he headed the maich of Sir Herbert Stevvait's column as it defiled out fiom the 'wells of Gakd.u.l.on its way to Metemueh.
