ORIENTAL BLARNEY. .Indian Grandee's Letter to Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. They have blarney stones elsewhere than in the charming vicinago of Cork. The oriental is given to ob- Bequious and fulsome Uattery, gener- ally to secure some favor. la read- ing oriental literature one must bo on his guard against taking literally the extravagant titles and ascrip- tions of praise so current in the East. They either grow out of a mean, groveling servility or out ol the meaner motive oi cajoling flat- tery. The following is a good e.x- Eunple, quoted from an Knglish pa- per. It is in the form of a letter ad- dressed to Sir Michael Uicks-Boach. U.P., during a recent visit to India, by an Indian grandee: "From .'. . Sahib Sword wife's »on of the late H.

PAISLEY, Grand UnioD Hotel. OT 1 AWA, CAN TW«iXTY-SIX SIONvS A SECOND. In the course of a lecture at the oonforence of musicians in IXiblin some interes-ting particulars and some astonishing statistics were given i\;latively to the auiwunt of work accomplished by tiie brain aJiid nerves in piano-playing. A pianist, in view of the present state of pi- ano-forte-playing, has to cultivate the eye to see about 1,500 siyiis in one minute, tho fingers to make about 2,000 nioveM'.eirts, and Uk' brain to receive and uiuierstanil sep- arately the 1,000 signs while it is- sues 2.000 oixlers.

GLADSTONES STATUE. A statue to Gladsrtone has recently been placed in We.stminstor .\bbey on the spot marked for it years ago by Dean Stanley. It occupie.s tJiu last vacant place for a standing figure in the north transept. The London Times describes the statue. It was made by Mr. Brock of the Royal Academy, anil is a marble lljfiire on a niaPblo iwdestal, which at present contains no inscription. On one side- is the statue of Sir Robert Peel, on the other, that of Lord ISeacon&- liold. Tho aisle is called th*- "Statesmen's Aisle," and is near the pulpit. Gladstone stands in the rolx'S of a doctor of civil law of Ox- ford, with his face turned slightly to the 1-ft. The likeness is good. Thore is no cerem;ony of unveiliaig monuments wliicih, like this, are ercftod by the authoritj' of Parlia- ment.
