MR. G'S. HEAD.--A "DUKE" writing to the _St. James's Gazette_ last

Thursday, joined in the discussion about Mr. GLADSTONE'S head, and

observed that hats shrink, and that certain hatters, exceptionally sane,

whose evidence can be trusted, allowed for the decrease in size. But do

they allow for this in the bills? Is the decrease there proportionate?

Considering what Mr. GLADSTONE once was, a Tory of the Tories, and what

he is now, is it to be wondered at that a considerable change should

have been going on in Mr. GLADSTONE'S head? Why he is finishing poles

apart from where he commenced!
