Lord Aberdeen is to be the new Viceroy of the

Canadian Dominion, and will succeed Lord Stanley of Preston in September. Lord Aberdeen is popular wherever he goes. Though a loyal follower of Mr. Gladstone's, he is not a fierce politician, and we do not doubt that his bonhomie and his tad will make him as agreeable to the Canadians as he was in 1886 to the people of Ireland.
