Some time ago the Pamavwm noted the arrival in this country of Alexander Russell Webb,who bid be come converted to and infatuated ‘with the doctrine of Islamism and his announced determination to conver America to the Mohammedan faith. He chose the printing press rather than the rostrum to aid him in con verting Americans into Mussulmans and has begun the publication of, a handsomely ‘printed sixteen page paper bearing the title of The Moslem World. ‘The first page of the cover bears a half tone engraving of the Juma‘ Muajid, or Cathedral Mosque,at Agra, India, “one of the most impos ‘ng specimens,’ we are told, “of Mo hammedan architecture in “Hindo stan.” The succeeding pages are de voted to an editorial department, se lections and contributions relative to Islamism Mohammed Webb presents his doc trine to the unbeliever in attraction form and is there are allotus people ready to accept new theories, prac tces and creeds, he will doubtless find numerous converts. In the name, of the most mercial God,” with which his salutatory opens, he announces that The Meier World will not de liberately attack any sect or religiouis system, nor misrepresent nor malign any existing creeds.” He adds; : nee ipo raha ages Peel one “ildoaeeth tht Ese sree pale sae saat to event as a Be by seas i ama without pi judics or malice, and in se eeraas oe ‘with a desire to offend the witch ‘elon ‘The editor then goes on to state that he is confident that all that is necesary to induce the man who is reasonably well-balanced mentally to adopt the Islamic system 25 his guide in life, is to sndentend the basic principles of that system, and to com prehend the life and character of its founder.

The London Daily News of recent data makes relevence the comments of American newspapers on the gross affrontsfered to Mir. Gladstone and the Imperial Institute,and makes them the taxt for a strong article in support of @ladstine and the Liberal cause. it welcomes the ganerous protests of the American press as another proof of the vitality of the cause of Home Rule, is showings warm, personal re gard for the Liberal leader and 4 just and_elevated view of his historic ‘position. reserting to Gladstone the ‘News says: 'He is persecuted by all leaders, of the people hays been, and ever will be persecuted when they mean D business. His measures are realities, and he has to expiate his abcetity by ‘the insults and the demanoations of the minority whose selfish interests they affect for the worse. Such persecu ton in a note of honesty in its victims the xnisions who love and reverence Mr. Gladstone might feel some mis giving if the elections of privilege, and of class oppression hated him ess. “She fruflans in telyet’—the phrase should stand—who kissed him the other night are “but the Mmeal de scondanta of those who gloated over the death of his master Peal, and who have tried to make Ilis burdensome for every man who has taken human wrongs seriously, and who has spent him aself for the benefit of his kind. Their outrages on tight feeling and on décancy serve #0 mark, not only Mr. Gladstone’s position, but their own. They help us to under stand the real nature of the opposition to Home Rule. Its personal, and it, apelfish,and it marks—no} the alarm of snfsguided patriotism, but the wrath off class ascandancy, which feels that, it is beginning to be found out. ‘The incident may suggest many things to the cynic, and among them the old familiar obs that the so cis amenities are still little better than a veneer.

When national conventions or other important gatherings have assembled , at Chicago the railway companies have, hastened to adopt a half fare rate for the occasion. No good reason is ap parent why a similar concession, should not bea made to World’s Fair, visitors. The masses simply can not afford to go under the existing sched ule of railway fares; and if it should ‘be adhered to throughout the season the great exhibition will have an at tendance small and select, while its pecuniary success will be seriously imperiled. ‘The Buffalo papers describe a new form of grip which is very prevalent in that city. The first symptoms are very tke thoze of the older form— cough, weakness, profuse discharge from the ass, low spirits and Iassi tude. Then the patient realizes that something is the mmatter with his ear or throat, and that something is quite serious, and abscess in those parts is usually the result. Physicians aay the disorder is more pragnent than any other form grip has rer taken. Tis effect usually lasts from two to threes weeks.

Miss Carrie Smith, daughter of the late General Kirby Smith, has been ‘the leading bttle“of “Sewanee, Tenn., for years. General Smith left his family in poor circumstances, and the support of her young brothers and sisters devolves upon the young woman, who is affectionately known throughout the South as Kirby ‘Smith’s war baby.” She 's an appli cant for the post office at Sewanee, and a large number of distinguished Union officers have sent letters to President asking for her appointment, ‘Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, showed [his respect for the Infants Eulalia by , Wearing a high silk hat, his first ap pearance with bead-covering of that kind.
