Hardwick, Halkor, where he died ; Compton Place, Balton Abbey, Lismoro Castle and Devonshire House in London.The family has been one of the mainstays of old Whig traditions\u2014those curious ideas which cannot now be differentiated from ingrained Toryism.But in spite of this, one of the most advanced of the Democratic newspapers said some years ago that \u2018it must be admitted that the Cavendishes have generally acted upon the principle that property has duties as well as rights, and have, more than once, rendered valuable service to the popular cause.\u2019 The death of the present holder of the title will create more interest than that of any other duke in England.His son, the Marquis of Hartington, prominently mentioned at one time as Gladstone\u2019s successor, but now identified with the so-called L beral-Unionist faction, will be removed to the House of Lords thereby.The loss to the Unionists of so able a debater from the Commons may have an important effect upon English politics,\u201d To-morrow, Christmas Day, as usual, there will be published from our office, a handsome Supplement of four pages.It will contain a number of seasonable stories, sketches and poems, redolent of the holiday time.These have been carefully selected, and we may promise our readers, a very entertaining collection of light and amusing literature.Madame Sarah Bernhardt contributes a most interesting tale, which we publish in both languages.The other pieces are written by leading Canadian, English and American authors.No extra charge is made for the Supplement.It is a Christmas gift to our readers, and we hope that they will be pleased with it.The Chronicle will be published tomorrow, but not on Saturday.The Political Situation.PREPARING FOR THE ELECTIONS.SELECTING CANDIDATES ALREADY.PRIVATE SEC R|ET A RIES APPOINTED.By an extra of the Official Gazette issued yesterday, the Local Legislature has been dissolved as foreshadowed in yesterday\u2019s Chronicle.Nominations will take place on the 1st, and voting on the 8th March next.The Cabinet held lengthy meetings yesterday and considerable business of importance was transacted which is not yet ready for publication.private secp-btaries.The following gentlemen have been named private secretaries to the Ministers :\u2014Elzear riser, advocate, to the Attorney-General ;

LyttoN.Ilis^A nimbi likt Polished Manners, and Dis^ of Conventioiialityi SEir-ACTING™\\ SHAUEROUERÿ MME.RATTAZZI 1)K RPTE\u2019s REMARKABLE CAREER.The Mme.de Ruté spoken of in the above lenpatch is Mme.Uattazzi, one of the most celebrated women in Europe, the modern Cleopatra.That she is mixed up in such a trial is quite characteristic of her.Under the name of \u201cBaron Stock\u2019\u2019 she conducts La Xouvelle.Renie Internationale.Among the contributors is Tony Revillon, who mAny a year ago was one of her lovers.The Review is an independent publication, devoted to literature, art and politics.Mme.de Rule's life is extremely sensational, and one in writing its history would be obliged to mention the names of nearly all the most celebrated men of the last fifty years.She must be now quite sixty years old.Her wit as keen as a Damascus blade and she had po scruples in using it.In January, 1887., Mme.de Raté was condemned by Paris tribunal to ten days\u2019 imprisonment and fifty francs fine for libel and slander upon the late Marquis Gueli y Renté, who married a sister-in-law of gueen Isabella.The action was brought by the sons of the late Marquis.She fled to escape the penalty.She was the daughter of Letitia Bonaparte (niece of the First Napoleon) ami Thomas Wyse, who was once British Minister to Greece.She was born in Waterford in 1827 She once said :\u2014\u201cI am destined to turn things upside down.I cannot live in an ordinary humdrum fashion.I need a great deal of space.When I take what belongs lo me I tread on the toes of conservatives anil derange the established order of things.\u201d She has been steadily turning things upside down since she was sixteen years old.BROCOIIT rp FOR A GOVERNESS.At a very early period of her life the future Maria Bonaparte Wyse showed a strong taste for study and for literary pursuits\u2014a taste which the separation of her parents and her own genteel poverty tended to increase rather than to diminish.She was put to school in France, at the Maison Royale de la Légiot d\u2019Honneur, a Government institution founded for the $dueation of the daughters of needy officers of the Légion, and situated at Saint Denis.Here she passed examinations qualify ing her for the humble career of a governess, But she was not to lie a governess.In 1850 she had the good or ill fortune to attract the notice of a wealthy Alsatian, the Prince dc Solms, whom she asked to marry her and he did.The match did not prove a happy one, and when, two years later, for political reasons, an imperial decree obliged the Princess to leave Paris a formal separation was effected.From 1853 to 1800 the Princess lived in Savoy and at Nice, where she became intimate with many of the leading French writers, notably Eugene Sue and I'onsard.She herself took to literature seriously ami wrote a number of poems, novels ami comedies.On the annexation of Savoy she returned to Paris and became known very soon as a writer of elegant causerie* In the Pay* and the Constitutionnel.On the latter paper she had tlte perilous honor of replacing Edmond About.She travelled a good deal in Italy, where she was very well received by the Court.WIFE OF MINISTER RATTAZZI.In 1862 she married the eminent Italian statesman Urbain Uattazzi, but her new domestic duties did not prevent her from continuing her literary labors.Her contributions to the Courrier de Florence and other papers (most of which were signed \u201cBaron Stock\u201d and \u201cLouise de Kelner\u201d) attracted much attention.Signor Rattazzi\u2019s death in 1873 again restored her to liberty.When Raltazzi died speculation was rife as to the next man his widow would honor with her hand, and speculation was not at fault, at least in regard to its belief that she had not yet exhausted her chances.Mme.Rattazzi chose for her third husband the Spanish engineer and Deputy, Senor de Ruté, but before she did so M.Pailleron had written \u201cL\u2019Age Ingrat,\u201d and it was generally understood that Mme.Rattazzi was the mistress of that eccentric establishment which for months kept the Gymnase audiences in a roar.Paris, Deo.22\u2014The death of Lord Lyttnn was an event of no small importance, w hether regarded from a diplomatic or a social standpoint.I consider tt a feieat loss to Paris and to tlte Government of Lord Salisbury, who can never find any other English nobleman so much in touch with French authors, artists and statesmen, cultivating literature at once as a pastime ami a means of excelling in oratory, as the late Earl Lytton.His grace of man net*, thorough amiability, many-sided ami brilliant nature ; his easy good-naHir*?, keen wit and facility !n bught repirtee, were qualities which went home to cultivated French men and women.Indeed, he was more appreciatively judged in Paris than in London, where Disraeli, his father's great friend, ami Lord Salisbury, his father's neighbor, were among the few who valued him as ho deserved.Most English people who were acquainted with hint .ami knew of him through his Writings looked upon him os a «lever and slightly eccentric person.They failed lo see that he had serious qualities of a ery high order.It docs not do in England for a public man to differ greatly in the forms in which his mind works from his neighbors.I often heard Lord Lytton spoken of in London by persons of w ide social experience as a mountebank ami a Bohemian.He was one of the most genuine persons I ever knew and could not help living out his own life.At the same time his intense originality was kept in hounds hy exquisite tact, refined habits, and the culture which is obtained both through scholarship ami the habit of mixing on terms of equality with the greatest people in the world and in most of the world s capitals.All Europe, America and India contributed to this part of his education, he having on leaving school entered diplomacy and made a rapid round of the different capitals as attache, and then two other rounds as Secretary of Embassy and Minister Plenipotentiary.His nature being strangely receptive, though as strangely original, he took a splendid polish in the course of his diplomatic peregrinations, and, while remaining a good Englishman, became a citizen of the world, as Wei! as of the republic of letters, to distinguish himself in which was the prime object of his life.What was so charming was the survival of so much of the chil l in hint up to the age of sixty, at which he died.He had the ease, the amiable love of approbation, the impressionablencss, the keen perception and tlte capacity of childhood to find happiness in small Heeling joys.His tongue could be keen as a lancet, and always was so when he smarted under an offence.Nobody had more insight into character or saw more quickly the absurd effects of vanity on behavior.Yet ho was, on the whole, good-natured in his judgments of human beings.A more hospitable person never lived, and he had the virtue of liking people entirely for themselves.His mind was a very fine one.The capacious brain, which was lodged in a high arched cranium covered with dark brown curly hair of a silky texture, had with it a body which might be figuratively described as being all nervous ganglia.A man of his singular organization oould not be otherwise than intuitive, emotional and impressionable.He got.in England the credit (or discredit) of being a dissipated sensualist No estimate could Ihj more erroneous.The things of the mind were to him an object of passionate interest.He took a still greater interest in the spiritual side of human nature and tlte upper world lo which he felt he was lending.These passions crowd out vices.He smoked all day long.I admit, tiny cigarettes, ami he used to take morphine after its properties were discovered, but soon left off doing so.One can hardly wonder at his doing so.There was no rest all the time he was in diplomacy for his nerves.His heart was a very unruly organ, and recorded in its palpitations the smallest emotion.How his manner could be so quietly easy with such a heart wits always to me an interesting problem that I never was ab e to solve.He was the first Ambassador of Great Britain in this country who invited the actors and actresses of the Français Ito his table.This shocked conservative English and French aristocrats and middle-class people.He also shocked persons of these classes at a garden-party, after lie had taken Madame Carnot and Madame Floquet to the buffet, by offering his arm successively for the same purpose first to a lady journalist of whom he was fond, site being a clever woman and a trustworthy friend, and next to a singer\u2014Madame Nevada\u2014then to a marchioness, and lastly to a Baroness Rothschild.He professed great admiration for Madame Floquet, and said that it would be a vast gain for France were she a perpetual Prime Minister.Nobody was more favorable to women\u2019s rights than Lord Lytton.Hn thought women superior in many respects to men, ami as .members of civilized communities, as in most other respects, their equals.In the solution of the woman\u2019s rights question he often thought would be found safety from the barbarous elements which (underlay modern democracies.Women were more highstrung, could lie more heroic and certainly they had truer intuitions than men.That they should be allowed great liberty appeared to him a social necessity.Under what other condition could their evolution bo felicitous Î A woman whose mind was narrowed by forced obedience to conventionalities and by semi-oriental seclusion always gave him pain and always caused him repugnance.Lord Lytton was an amiable husband and father.His wife worshipped him.Nothing are o! iimiationj.NOTICE AUTOGRAPH am am
