SHE WON'T GO.

Ile had been very kind and solicitous for several
days and at breakfast yesterday morning he suddenly
remarked:
"My dear, you don't know how bad it makes me
feel to see you look so thin and careworn."
"Yes," she softly replied..
"You must have lost at least five pounds in the
last month."
"I presume so."
"And that haggard expression shows overwork and
need of rest.'

"Yes."
"Dear me! but I could never forgive myself if you
should go into a decline."
"See here, Henry !" she replied, as she laid down
her fork and looked him square in the eye, "you wunt
to drop that! If you think you can pack me off to
the country for a month and leave you to gallop
around here, you have got hold of the wrong end of
the string !"
He sighed heavily, but made no reply, and yet as
he stood on the corner waiting for the car, and Smith
asked him how his wife was, he answered:
"Picking right up, thank you. She's gaining a
pound a week right along, and was never in better
spiritr."--Detroit Free Press.

THE CHOLERA IN PRANCE.

Writing on Tuesday, the Marseilles correspondent
of the Daily News says:
I have visited Belle de Mai, a thickly populated
part of the town, inhabited mostly by poor working
people. This part has had many deaths from
cholera. My attention was attracted mostly by the
amount of purely individual charity as distinguished
from official. The Republican club, called the Franc
Cceur, has rented an empty café concert hall to open
as a soup kitchen. The volunteer officials work
night and day without pay. Women, mothers of
families, come with saucepans; are soon provided
with a number, and fall into line awaiting their turn
in front of Madame Clovis Hugues, wife of the
member. She is an energetic-looking woman,
with an extremely pleasing cast of counte-
nance. When we entered she was stand-
ing in front of a large iron pot, ladling out soup, while
an assistant gave out bread and wine. During this
time the Deputy, her husband, aided by some friends,
passed from one sick chamber to another, bearing con-
solation and cheering words with him, and himself
rubbing those who needed friction. I saw him carry-
ing a saucepan in his hands filled with food for the
sick and poor families which he had fetched from the
soup kitchen. For about fifteen days he had con-
tinued to do this work, and had encouraged others to
do so also. In this quarter of the town people swear
by him. He is very popular. The people refuse the
doctors' prescriptions, and call the doctors themselves
poisoners, and their remedies poison. On the other
hand, they accept willingly the prescriptions of M.
Clovis Hugues, who adopts Raspail's system, and
I must say with great success. The other day
he and a doctor visited a woman who was
ill. They were received by her son armed
with a revolver, who refused to allow them to enter,
and abused them as poisoners. Ultimately he gave
way on learning that one of his visitors was the mem-
ber for Marseilles. The woman was attended to and
saved. This instance of a son armed with a revolver
may seem incredible, but nevertheless it is perfectly
true. The ignorant people have been so excited by
designing demagogues and old wives' tales that the
sight of a doctor acts upon them as a red flag upon a
bull. The Catholics have circulated a petition asking
the Mayor to permit them to pass in procession
through the streets and pray for the people, and for
the disappearance of the epidemic. Many work-
shops, factories, and offices have been closed, and
thereby a number of honest and deserving persons
have been thrown on their own resources.

The news from Toulon is not very reassuring. In
spite of the improvement in the temperature, some
persons who have returned have died. The mortality
is rapidly increasing. Food is very dear and very
scarce; sometimes not to be had. Six deaths from
cholera have occurred at Arles, and at Aix seven
deaths, among the number being a priest. There is a
great panic and flight, as at Arles, which has now only
4000 inhabitants. Fresh cases are reported from
Nimes and Tarascon.

THE CLAIMANT.

The Daily News says: The efforts of the friends
and partisans of the Tichborne Claimant in Australia
to obtain an order for the removal to England of a
man known as William Cresswell, now confined in a
lunatic asylum at Paramatta, and alleged to be identi-
cal with Arthur Orton, seem likely to be finally suc-
cessful. The application has been resisted on behalf
of the Crown on the basis of affidavits tending to
show that the lunatic is really one William
Creswell, of the Creswell family of Reading, Berk-
shire, and tracing this man's movements from
the time he came to the colony in 1853
with live stock, for a ' certain Mr. Kite, of
Bathurst, in whose service he is stated to
have remained for some years, and up to his
confinement as lunatic. On the other hand two
brothers of Arthur Orton, namely, Edmund and
Charles Orton, now in Australia, the latter of whom
will be remembered as figuring prominently in the
proceedings on the Tiehborne trials, though he was
not called as a witness by either side, have filed
affidavits positively identifying the man in the Para-
matta Lunatic Asylum as their brother. As the phy-
sician of the Asylum has stated that a sea voyage
would probably be beneficial to the lunatic if be is
properly looked after, and as the Orton brothers appear
to be provided for that purpose with the requisite
funds, which are said to have been furnished by an
English lady, it appears to be considered that the
Crown will withdraw its opposition, and that the
application will be granted under certain conditions.

THE IRISH CONSTABULARY.

In answer to Mr. Parnell,- Mr. Trevelyan said -:- The
total number in the Constabulary force in Ireland
which may be charged to votes of Parliament, if the
Lord Lieutenant 80 fixes, in the quinquennial redistri-
bution, is 280 officers, 350 head-constables and 10,006
sergeants and constables. This maximum limit, it is to
be observed, is permissive, and not a right. The total
number of officers and men wholly paid for out of
moneys to be provided by Parliament in the current
financial year is 269 officers, 268 head-constables, and
9469 men (exclusive of revenue force and reserve. The
extra force, the moiety of which will be charged for
portion of the year, is under section 12 of the Act, 6 and
7 William IV., under section 13, 23831 under section
12,561. There is also an extra force in Belfast and
Derry of 365. The number charged under the Crimes
Act is 195. The numbers under section 13 of the Act of
6 William IV., and under the Crimes Act, have been
greatly reduced since this estimate was framed. They
now stand at about 1870 and 30 respectively. _

THE LORDS AND THE FRANCHISE BILL.
Mr. Labouchere, having asked whether, in view of the
frequent statements of the Conservative leaders that
the House of Lords had not thrown out the Franchise
Bill, the Government would again move the second
reading of the bill in the Upper House, Mr. Gladstone
observed that he was under the impression that the bill
had not, strictly speaking, been rejected, but Lad been
laid upon the shelf by two motions carried by consider-
able majorities; though he found in a speech ascribed
to Lord Salisbury a reference to its " rejection." The
Government had no intention of making any further
motion upon the bill, as they believed it would only
give trouble to the House of Lords without gaining any
important object. If a direct -issue could be taken it
would be desirable, but it was not in the power of the
Government to procure it.

SUPPLY.

_
The House went into Committee of Supply on the
Civil Service Estimates.
The vote for the Irish Law Charges occupied the
committee all the evening. In the first place, the
attack on Mr. Bolton was renewed by Mr. Healy, Mr.
Sexton, who moved a reduction of the vote, Mr.
Sullivan, and others.
Mr. Trevelyan objected to these criticisms while Mr.
Dolton's case was in litigation, but read the minute
applicable to civil servants in England, offering that
Mr. Bolton's case should be dealt with exactly on the
same principle.
Mr. Gladstone, in addition, promised that the Re-
port of the Vote should not be taken until the case
had been adjudicated and the House was in a position
to pronounce a definitive decision.
Notwithstanding this, the discussion was continued
by Mr. Harrington, Mr. Sexton, and Mr. Healy, until
Mr. D. Grant complained of the constant iteration and
Mr. GLadstone intimated that his offer Nita* dePPelent

LIBERAL MEETING AT SEOIMBRI D GE.

A. large Liberal meeting was held in the Corn
Exchange, on Tuesday night, to consider the re-
jection of the Franchise Bill by the House of Lords.
Mr. G- King Harrison presided. He said he hoped
the time had gone by when it could Le s dd that two
hundred Tory peers, whose names some of them
scarcely knew, could prevent the passage of bills
already adopted by the House of COMMOII9. He Aid
not believe that the Marquis of Salisbury was
anxious that the franchise should be given to any
one

Kr. Shepherd m^ved a resobrion protesting
a4ainst the rejection of the Franchise Bill oy the
Houss of Lords, and taking elpical notice of the fact
:tout Lord Beauchamp was one of those who voted
against the bill, by which he had helped to withhold
the rights of citizenshii) from 24.000 householders
in East Worcestershire. The resolution urged the
Government to pass the Franchise Bill in its present
form, and having the supremacy in the House of
Commons to proceed. with a Redistribution Bill, in
order that boLh- bills might be passed during the
present Parliament.
Mr. Miles seconded Vie resolution, which was
supported by Mr. Shoebothem, the Rev. Mr.
Wallace, Mr. Packwood, and Mr. Platt In well-re.
ceived speeches.
The resolution was carried with great cheer-
ing.

The Rev. G. Knight proposed independently a
res lug affirming it as desirable that a measute
*sh,tt d be framed for abolishing the House of Lords,
o affecting reforms in it which would make it re-
presentative in its character. (Cries of " Bravb,"
and "No, no.")
It wig suggested that lkfr. Knight should with-
draw hii resolution; but he said he would take the
sense of the meeting on it.
Mr. Gordon seconded it, and it was carried with
much cheering, and a cry of "Away with the
Lords."

Mr. Pearsall (a Conservative) mounted the plat-
form diving the proceedings, and denied that Con—
servatives were opposed to extending the franchise.
as rted that Mr. Gladstone was obstructing it
more than Lord Salisbury: a remark which was met
with loud dissent.

Tile meetiug broke up with three aura for Mr
Glrlstoae.

SIR RICHARD CROSS AT CARDIFF,

The Conservatives of Cardiff held a large meeting
on Saturday night with a view of supporting the
action of the Peers with regard to the Franchise Bill.
Lord Windsor presided.
Sir Richard Cross proposed: "'That this meeting is
of opinion that the action of the House of Lords in
boldly maintaining, notwithstanding the menace
of the Premier, its opinion, and that of the Op-
position in the House of Commons, that such
an important extension of the franchise as is con-
templated by the bill of her Majesty's Govern-
ment ought not to be sanctioned by Parliament until
an equitable scheme for the redistribution of political
power shall have been introduced, deserves the grati-
tude of all true patriots and proves that the Upper
House is a most valuable bulwark of the Constitution."
He said that all this outcry against the Peers was
based upon misrepresentations which had been placed
before the people. In the first place, there was a
violent attack upon Lord Salisbury, and also upon
the House of Lords. It was not Lord Salisbury
and it was not the House of Lords who ought
to be called to account. The quarrel. was between
the Government and the great Conservative party,
and the Conservatives were quir-e willing to meet
them. The allegation that the House of Lords
had rejected the Franchise Bill was untrue, and more
than that, it was a wilful misrepresentation, because
it was made by those who knew better. His advice
to Mr. Gladstone was this, let him bring in his Redis-
tribution Bill in October instead of waiting until
February. The House of Lords would keep the
Franchise Bill alive until they reeeived the Redistri-
bution Bill, and would consider both together, and
they mizht mos it into law before the end of the pre-

sent session. The Government were alone responsible
for the present position of the Franchise Bill.
The motion was seconded and carried unani-
mously.

KISS VIOLET CAMERON'S DOG.

At Hampton Petty Sessions on Monday, Alfred
Dare, baker, of Sunbury, was summoned for allowing
on July 8 a ferocious dog to be at large, which at the
same time killed a dog valued at £lO, the property
of Miss Violet Cameron. Mr. H. St. Stephens,
barrister, in opening the case, stated that with a
view to benefit her health, Miss Cameron, accom-
panied by her mother, took up her residence at
Sunbury on the 7th inst., within a few doors of
Dare's premises. She brought with her a black and
tan toy terrier. On the following day complainant
and her mother went to town, leaving the house
and terrier in charge of their servant. The dog was
allowed to run about the house, and during the
absence of its mistress got into the road.
Whilst there defendant's dog bit the terrier
across the loins, the result being that it died
within ten minutes. In addition to asking for an
order for the destruction of the dog, Mr. Stephens
claimed £lO as the nominal value of his client's terrier,
and also pressed for a small fine. Elizabeth Neal,
complainant's parlourmaid, who saw the affair, said
the gardener (Morgan) had to strike Dare's dog with
a broom to make it release the terrier. Jacob
Morgan declared that upon " Jacko going into the
street the big dog picked it up and cracked it to
pieces. (Laughter.) Dare's was a great rough dog,
fit to collar a man or a horse. (Renewed laughter.)
He had never seen it loose before, and when it seized
the small dog Dare behaved like a gentleman, and
tried to separate them. In defence it was submitted
that there was no case made out against Dare, who
was ready to keep the dog under proper control. It
exhad nepbtejoen. ionf h
ti sh
sp ops saerstsi icou a
rn for,u4_4eawrsas, andaiw

chained up. The magistrates considered that there
Wt § sufficient evidence to order the dog to be
destroyed. They directed, however, that it should be
kept under proper control, the chairman remarking
that there was no doubt Miss Cameron had remedy
by bringing a civil action.

THE ISLAND OF HERX

In London on Tuesday, the Channel Island of
Herm was put up for auction at the Mart, Token-
house-yard, by Mr. Tewson, of the firm of Debenham,
Tewson, and Co. The island, which is situate mid-
way between Guernsey and Sark, is about a mile and
a half in length by three-quarters of a mile in
breadth, and is estimated to contain about 460 acres.
There are seveml residences, with an hotel, an
excellent harbour, and extensive granite quarries,
while the natural attractions include the Creux, one
of the sights of the Channel Islands, and the famous
shell beach of Herm. It is held on a lease at
£l4 per annum from the Crown in perpetuity,
subject to a fins of £42 on renewal every twenty-one
years, and is subject to other charges amounting to
about £2lO yearly. The net revenue from the sale
of 'early garden produce, rabbits, fish, granite, &c.,
is about £5OO to £6OO, and can be readily increased
to £lOOO. The chief attraction, however, to a pur-
chaser is an amount of pleasure that cannot be mea-
sured by money. He will be Monarch of all he
surveys, entirely shut off from the rest of the world.
Taxes are unknown, and the general public can land
only by permission of the owner. The first bid was
£lOOO, which was slowly raised in the space of about
an hour to £5900, when the auctiOneers, finding any
further advance hopeless, withdrew the property.

'Xiiki ADULTERATION OF BUTTER.

In the House of Commons, on'July 26th, Mr. Hibbert
answered questions by Mr. Duckham, addressed
to,the President of the Local Government Board cn this
subject. He said the Local Government Board bad
no information as to large quantities of oleo-margarine
being manufactured in the United Kingdom, and the
Board had no power to order a supervision of oleo-
margarine and butterine factories. The Board had
no information to lead them to suppose that the
provisions of the Food and Drugs Act were not
sufficient to meet cases of deleterious compounds being
used in the manufacture of those articles. The Local
Government Board last month issued a circular letter
to the sanitary authorities in England, directing their
attention to the provisions of that Act, and urging
them to avail themselves of their powers to obtain
samples of food and drugs for analysis. From
answers already received the Board had reason to
believe that these powers would in future be more
fully exercised than had hitherto been the case, and
if the articles analysed should be found to be
injurious, or to have been sold in substitution for the
articles asked for, it might be anticipated that prose-
cutions would follow. There had already been
several convictions for the sale of butterine in place
of butter. At present the Board did not consider it
necessary to address any instructions to local autho,-
rities beyond the circular letter referred to.

TERRIBLE SCENE AT AN EXECUTION.

A Vienna telegram states that on Tuesday morning
at ten o'clock, a man was to be hanged at Krems for
murder. On being led into the courtyard he walked
up to the gibbet with a steady step and took off his
jacket. Suddenly when the hangman's assistants were
going to tie his hands he rushed upon them and a
horrible struggle began under the gibbet. After five
minutes the man, roaring like a wild beast, was tied
with the help of the military escort, but when the
executioner put the noose round his neck another
hideous scene occurred. The condemned criminal
snapped at the noose and really succeeded in laying
hold of it with his teeth. With great trouble it was
snatched away and the execution then took place.
The struggle lasted eight minutes.
