which was subscribed for by tho women of
England and which has been iu tho bands of
tho eugraver, has, says tho London corre
spondent of Tho Northern Echo, only Just
reached Hawarden. In acknowledging it
Mr. Gladstone writes: "Now that tho plcturo
has arrived, It calls for fresh and now words
of gratitude Wo cannot express all our
foellugs, but tho kind donors, thrmo who havo
Joined In this boautif ul gift, will caro to know
that It has brought Joy and deepest grati
tude Will you mako known to them that
thou gift has brought Joy aud gladness into
our dear old homo I Wo shall never look at it,
blending as It does tho present and f uturo,
without thankfulness." Lady Abordocn,
who was tho honorary treasurer of tho fund,
Is now making up her accounts. She finds

about 1,000. A thousand pounds was Sir

To tho member of congress a committee
place means almost everything. Upon tho
assignment to committees dopond lu largo
measure his usefulness, his prominence in tho
affairs of tho body of w lilch ho Is a member,
his success as a statesman. If bo wants op
portunity to make soochcs, ho will do well
to get on ouo or other of tho committees In
control of Important legislation. If ho wants
influence in tho department, lot him bo care
ful of his committee, assignments. A curious
Illustration of tho power of committees lu tho
executive departments is found In tho fact
that Mr. Randall, an Democratic chairman
of tho comnilttoo on appropriations, was able
to secure many ap'Kilntments of friends to
office under Republican administrations, wlillo
Mr. Camion, u prominent Republican mem
ber of tho same committee, was able to find
places for several of his followers under a
Democratic regime, Washington Letter.
