THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Mr. Gladstore ham now entirely ref:neared from the
effects of his recent indisposition. In view, however,
of the extraordinary mental strain which he will have
to undergo during the next few weeks, Sir Andrew
Clark advised that he should have • day or two of
endisturbed rest. A visit to Lord Wolverton was
aceordingly arranged.
We believe that the onvisideratim of the Home
Rio Bill by the Committee of the Cabinet is now
practically concluded. and that at the next full inert.
ing of .tinictors • report to this effect will be made.
:ieveral modificatioes have, we understand, been
agreed to since the scheme was originally drafted,
notably in reference to the fiscal power to lie given to
the Irish Parliament. Mr. Chamberlain has finally
determined that he will, if possible, make his state-
ment to the House of Commins itutuediately after
Mr. Gladstone's speech in introducing the Bill. Mr.
Trevelyan will, we believe, follow later in the debate.
The adjournment of the discussion will probably be
rd by Lord Ifartington, who will thus be in
pomesjon of the If when the oinsideration of the
subject is resumed on the following evening. No
objection will be offered to the first reading of the
measure. but when the next stage is reached the sup-
porters of Mr. Chamberlain marl Mr. Trevelyan will
probably join the Whig section and Conservatives in
opposing it. With regard to the subsequent attitude
of the weeders from the Government. should the Bill
be rejected on the second read*, everything, of
course, will depend upon the action taken by Mr.
Gladstone. The re:nth of the negotiations which
have been going on during the past week gives ground
for belief however, that an alternative policy may
be agreed upon, to which Lori Hartington, Mr.
Gosc en. and Sir H. James would subscribe, as well
as Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Trevelyan. In this Ca*e
they would probably receive the support of the Con
eervative party. The Home Rule Bill is spoken of
as a masterly achievement, and Mr. Gladstone's
speech in introducing it is looked forward to with
extraordinary interest by all shades of politicians.
All attempt' to gauge the feeling of the rank and
file of the Liberal party as to their eventual attitude
, are useless. In nine cases out of ten the members
. refuse to commit themselves until they have heard
the Premier's exposition id his plans and id the
. evasions which induced him to formulate them. Mr.
Gladstone himself is said to be confident of his ability
to carry the measure.
According to the latest calculations, I.OIIIP 75
, Liberal members may be expected to follow Lord
Ilartington in his opposition to the Horne Rule
whenie of the Ministry. The number of Radical
, member* who may be reckoned upon to go with Mr.
Chamberlain are estimated at about a doten.—

hour to dinner. In addition to the liviness attaching
to the debate at this particular stage there was
throughout some excitement on the subject of the
Mponds of the measure under discussion. Mr.
ilder* had assented to the accord reading only on
the understanding that in Committee the prohibition
should not apply to sales to children sent, say, for
their parents dinner or supper beer, but only to sales
for consumption on the premises. The aupper beer
issue thus raised was ninch debated, and members
dwelt on the difficulty of voting on a Bill which would
be totally changed in character in Committee. The
obvious interest taken by the House in the ipiestion
whether the next order—the Woman's Suffrage Bill—
would be reached before half•past 12 added to the
excitement. Delate was warmly maintained, with
occaainnal anxious referencia to the clock, until all
chance of that Bill being reached was over. The
House was then lividel, with the result that Mr.
Gmybeare's Bill was read a second time by 132 to 115.

THE TREATMENT OF HYDROPHoBIA.

Rioting the diaphor.,is. Dr. Buiason ii. sal.' to have
cure' himself after the development uf the .3 inptoun.
of hydrophobia. He and his disciples regard the
method as an preventive of hydrophobia,
and as an equally certain core, if begun on the first
I day of the developing disease ; on the sevoiel day its
elfect is less certain, and later it has no effect in stay
ing the course of the inalwly. As to the merits of
the treatment we can assert nothing. It is alleged
to have prevented or to have cored the disease •
hundred times. But the moor.e, of fallacy are
innumerable. W.. do not yet know the prop..rtion cif

subjects of hydrinsininis. It is difficult to conceive
that profound sweating can stay the °ours., of a
disease which seems to he dim to the development of
a living germ in the ined.illis oblongata. That wash.

the individual perspire firof timely should be able to
prevent the disease can be reasonably conceived.

NII,IIC AND Lerl7.7renc.-7-pre.asing admixture of
the above was experienced by a " full house" at the
Town Hal'. on I.riday night, when Mr. James A.
Hallett, of London, gave another his fine sole:,
tions from popular authors. As an elocutionist Mr.
Hallett certainly excels, and delights all who hear
him. His previous kindness when.vieiting Bridt
was sufficient to insure him a full audience. The
Programme for the evening was as follows :—Recital,
'Dora" (Tennyson) reading, "Little Polly"
(Dickens) ; reading, "Mark Twain at the Vatican "
(Mark Twain) ; recital, "A Lawn Tenniaonian
Idyll" (Anon) ; reading, "Mrs. B's Alarms" l'ayn.
At intervals during the evening Mr. S. Champ, with
his ionicaoflo class, gave coins beautiful vocal *elec.
tions between the pieces. We are informed that the
proceeds will be devoted to the fund of the Congree
gational Church.
Ova FEATHERID FalgNiel.—lt is quite an unusual
thing to find our sable musicians, the blackbirds,
choows such a peculiar site as one discovered in Etat.
street on Saturday, by Mr. Robert Hallett, in hi.
. garden. Mr. Hallett the morning was not stir.
priced to notice a blackbird issue from a heap of
manure which protected a bad of rhubarb in his
'anion, but was somewhat astonished later in the
day to find that the exit of the blackbird was due to
her having a nest there, containing four eggs. The
nest was actually lodged in the loose manure close to
the ground. Besides its being extremely early to
find a blackbird's nest with four eggs, it is an
unusually uncommon thing to find blackbirds cluxuse
such a dangerous Mid peculiar site.
