" When Ismail Pasha, the extravagant khedive of Kgypt, i-ugned over that histori- cal land, "said an acquaintance of Ihe notati- ons ruler, "he had in his garden a large cage of African lions. Noble brutes they were, and until the event of which I peak I never tired looking at them. One day while walking with hi.-* highness in the garden, the keeper accompanied by a pretty little girl entered, carrying a basket of meat for the lions. The khedive and I walked toward the cage to watch the beasts eat. Thev were hungry and pounced upon their food with a ravenous fury thai chilled me. Standing clone by the atagn with her hands) renting on the burs was the liule child, her long golden hair at times blown by the breeze inside the incloaure. " Why do yo'i permit your daughter to go so near the lions?' the khedive asked of the keeper. " Oh,' replied the keeper, ' they are so accustomed to her they would, not harm her.' " ' Then open the door and put her in- side,' said the khedive. " My blood froze at the command, for command it was, I tried to speak, but could not, I wo* unable even to move. The keeper, with the submissiveneas of those who know their lives will pay forfeit if they disobey their ruler, made with his eyes a plea for mercy. But seeing none in the khedive'* face he kissed thu little one tenderly, lifted her up, opened the door, placed her inside, and as the door swung to he tamed his face away and groaned. " The little one, though she did not stir, seemed not afraid. The lions appeared sur- prised, and as tho largest ami fiercest rose and walked toward her I thought I should choke. Happily, the father did not see the beast The khedive alone was unmoved and stood gazing at the scene calmly and with the curious smile I had so often seen play upon his features when watching the dance of a ballet. The lion went up to the child, smelle 1 of her, looked at her for fully half a minute, then lay down at her feet and beat the floor with his tail. Another lion approached. The first one gave an ominous growl and the second lion went back. The others crouched low, and each second I expected them to spring, bat they ditl not. This continued, I think, about five minutes, the big lion never taking his eyes from the girl, and ceaselessly lashing the floor. " The khedive by this time was evidently satisfied, and turned to the keeper aud com- manded him to thrust a live lamb into the crv^e through another door. Withacelenty I have never wen equaled, the keeper caught a straying lamb and obeyed. As he did so every lion sprang upon the lamb. " ' Take out the child !" the khedive com- manded, and scarce had the words escaped him ere the keeper, who had already run u> that end of the cage, jerked open thu door, snatched the little one out and claaped her in his arms. The khedive laughed, tossed ; the keeper a coin, and, taking my arm walked on. " ..Mine can be found hock in Ihe hilla. They limb the L'I mite hill breasts, do these ex- plorers.

The in- t.-rcnce is that her Majesty desires to make Archbishop Tail's memoiiathe medium of ii\ ulgmg what her attitude then was. with a viuw to the application of the information to present event.-. Her Majesty did not ap- prove of the disestablishment policy, but she accepted the decision of the country and the Commons, used her influence to induce the Lonls on th one hand to accept the bill, and Mr. Clvlstone to take conciliatory method with the Lords. The Archbishop of Canterbury wa* her mediator and go between and throughout the progress of the disestab- ih meiii bill went through an active period of wire-pulling, inlerviewing, and lobbying, which would have strained the nerves of a professional politician. When the bill went inlo the I/>rds the general expectation was that they would reject it, and that another of those constitutional crises would arise whi-h threaten the existence rf the Upper House as now constituted. The fate of the monarchy is so reasonably associated in the mind of her Majesty withthatofan hereditary t'ppe! House as to create alarm when the pokilion of tho latter appears menaced. Un- doubtedly, if the peers had rejected the dis- establisment bill, Vlr. Gladstone would have been backed up by an enraged country, and the always impending agitation to disestab- lish the peers as a legislative body would .1 a dangerous momentum. The Queen wiote to the Archbishop: " Considering the circumstances under which the mc.-if :ire haa come lo the House of Lords, t be i, iu. en cannal regard, without the greatest alarm, the probable effe.-t of it* absolute n-jc, -ii...i in the House. Carrie.l, as it has been, by an overwhelming and si .idy majority through a House of Commons l.iwn expressly to npenk the feeling of the country on the question, there seems no reason to believe that any fresh appeal to the people coul:l lead to a different result. The rejection of the bill therefore would only serve to bring the two Houses into collision, and so prolong a dangerous agita- tion of ths subject." These words preg- nant of application in the early future, are being ipmted throughout Ihe Liberal press as a proof in anticipation that the Queen, accepting the verdict of the country ..n dome Rule, will use all her ixiwcr and personal influence to prevent the Lords from imposing it.
