AT HOME AND ABROAD .
IT is highly gratifying to find that onr hopes of last week are in a fair way of being realised , and that the health of Bro . Prince Leopold is improving . According to the latest bulletins , it would seem that His Koyal Highness is slowly , but—Ave trust Ave may add—surely approaching convalescence . On the other hand , death has lately
numbered among his victims the Countess of Carnarvon , wife of our highly esteemed Brother the M . "Worshipful Pro . Grand Master . A few Avords of condolence with the Earl of Carnarvon on the subject of this terrible bereavement , will be found in another part of our columns .
It seldom happens at this season of the year that there is such an utter dearth of political news . We are on the very eve of the re > assembling of Parliament . The usual announcements have been made that the Ministerial and Opposition leaders have severally issued cards for the
usual dinners Avhich virtually inaugurate the proceedings of the Session—it seems strange AVC cannot enter even on the business of legislation Avithout a preliminary banquet . Yet no one , save perhaps a feAv ultrapolitical enthusiasts , seems to concern himself as to the measures that will be
discussed . No doubt , Her Majesty will graciously inform " My lords and gentlemen " that England is happily on terms of friendly intercourse Avith all foreign powers ; that our Colonial Empire has been extended by the important addition of the Fiji Islands : that our finances are prospering , and that sundry reforms , all more or less desirable , will be
proposed , Avith a vieAV to simplifying the administration of the LaAV , for the better regulation of our Military Forces , and for the improvement of our Educational System . A bill for the better governance of Friendly Societies is also on the cards . But this , AVC think , will be the sum and
substance of the Queen ' s Speech . A modicum of legislation , and no great fiscal changes . We may fairly congratulate ourselves on the prospect . Burning questions are oftentimes an intolerable nuisance , especially Avhen the minds of men get overheated about them in the usually burning month of July .
Of course , political meetings and demonstrations are occasionally held in the provinces , the most important Avithin the last few days having occurred at Lewes , for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to the Right Honourable J . 0 . Dodson , lately M . P . for East Sussex , and Chairman of
Committees of Ways and Means under five successive governments , and noAV representing the city of Chester . The testimonial consisted of the portrait of the right hon . gentleman , by Sir Francis Grant , P . R . A ., together Avith a handsome service of plate . This recognition of valuable
services , rendered not only to his party , but to his country likeAvise , as an important parliamentary official , must have been highly gratifying to its recipient ; nor , Ave feel convinced , ¦ will any Avho differ politically from Mr . Dodson begrudge him this honour , to Avhich he is so justly entitled .
Liberals and Conservatives must feel equal pleasure Avhen a long period of devotion to party and the State is thus acknoAvledged . One matter , to Avhich Ave referred last Aveek , is not , it seems , definitively settled . No successor to Mr . Gladstone , in the leadership of the Liberal party , has
yet been appointed . A meeting , howeA er , of members will be held at the Reform Clnb on the afternoon of Wednesday next , Avhen the merits of the several claimants to the vacant honour will be considered . All AVC need say on such a subject is , Delur digniori . We may add that Parliament will
be opened by Commission , and that the Address will be moved in the House of Lords by Lord Donnoughmore , and seconded by Lord Rayleigh ; in the House of Commons by the Hon . E . Stanhope , member for Mid-Lincolnshire , and seconded by Mr . Whitelaw , member for GlasgoAV .
There is almost as great a dearth of UBAVS in the nonpolitical as in the political Avorld . Unhappily , there is one item which cannot fail to evoke the deepest feeling of regret . This is the strike and lock-out of colliers i » South
