It is impos sible to mistake her meaning. She has adopted no uncertain tone. She dis likes Mr. Chamberlain intensely. The sketch is contained in a new volume of ''Critical Studies," which she has re centlyipublished. She opens thus on Mr. Chamberlain: "Soveral years ago, at the moment when Mr. Chamberlain, having aband oned the liberty party, was adored by the party which calls itself conservative, I looked at him one evening at a dinner in a well known house in Belgrave square. He was standing surrounded by the loveliest and most fashionable women of society, who were offering him a homage which must have been delight ful to him." She goes on to dissect "Master Joe's" features: "His physiogonomy indicates his char acter; it has no distinction, but it is full of energy, intelligence and resolution; it is the physiogonomy of a tradesman, not of a statesman, of a person extremely keen and acute, obstinate and cruel, but not by any means intellectual. The eternal eyeglaes serves to hide such ex pression as his features might have, and the nose, short and retrousse, make pie bian lineaments which might, without this defect, be sufficiently regular. He is always well dressed; 'too well,' an ex-viceroy murmured to me that evening." Ouida thinks it is strange to "see Rob eit Cecil, Marquis of Salisbury, fallen SMfafrMMrmQ hdccc 1 I V .L KJ O There is a collection here superior in every way to ordinary dress goods showings; superior in quan- W$ tity. vanetj' ana modest pricing.

Tbe sole person of the party who could have imposed authority upon him by superi ority of intellect would have been Lord Salisbury; but he has been able completely to rule and inlluance the master of Hatfield, as he has suc ceeded in ruling and influencing all others who sit around the ministerial table in Downing street. A friend of mine, speaking once to me of Lord Salis bury, -whom he knew intimately, said: 'He's a tine, big cannon, but he won't go off; I doubt if he will ever go off.' It is probable that Chamberlain had the same opinion, and therefore resolved himself to maneuvre and fire the can rfl7A vy i rrrvc m VJ V MmS Kj 50c' in choice colorings; also all per yard 58c' nlaifii-it mvoltfv all J&fM SI.OOV7 utru h m t u jf Wi! 322 !& s l M Underwear.

He is 'hard as nails;' he is cynical and selfiih, and to a poli tician 6f this stamp reputation in history is a matter of extreme indifference." And this is only an infinitesimal part of what Ouida says, in her wrath, before she gets through with Mr. Chamberlain. London Globe.
