IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms DAT.

The SPEAREB took the chair at 12 o'clock.
AGRICULTURAL CHILDREN'S EDUCATION BILL.
Mr. FAWCETT moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which was to make provision for the com-
pulsory education in the rural distriCts, and the bill further
provided that in places where there were no schools the
ratepayers should bo called upon to provide means for the
education of children engaged in agriculture.
Mr. ARTHUR PEEL cordially supported the motion
for the second reading of the bill, and said it was the right
of every child in the State to have the opportunity afforded
thee of taking advantage of the benefits of education to
the extent of reading, writing, and arithmetic.:
Mr. BEACH moved that the bill be read a second time
that day three months, on the ground that the provisions
of the measures were solely inadequate to effect the object
it had in view. Ho contended that the services of a certi-
ficated schoolmaster ought to to engaged, but in small
agricultural parishes ttio means of paying the salary of
such a competent person were entirely wanting. It was
true that eljection did not apply to large parishes, but
because that was the case ho did net see bow it was to be
expected that parishes not of such dimensions should bo
called upon unaided to do the same. It had been
stated that the children of the agricultural labourer
were taken too early from school, but from
the report of Mr. Sandford it appeared that the
children in the mining districts were removed from the
means of education much earlier than those in the rural
districts.. He.did not say this to justify the system, but
only for the purpose of mentioning a positive fact, when it
was proposed to deal generally with the question of the
education of children. The bill proposed that the children
in the 'agricultural districts should only bo allowed to
work every other day, but as the weather was an impor-
tant matter in agricultural operations, the farmer would be
called upon to employ a double set of children to make
up for the loss of labour that would bo incurred on wet
and stormy days. Ho thought it would be impossible to
carry out the bill in an efficient manner; and he gave it
his strongest opposition.
Air. B. STANHOPE said that the great principle of the
bill • that the children should only labour on alternate
d•tys—was quite impractictable. He could haie understood
it proposal for the education of the children in the cvintei'
season, when these children certainly would have the
opportunity of attending school; but the bill did not con-
tain such a practical proposal. Ho thought the bill would
work very objectionably, and therefore lie could not sup-
port it.

THE SUSPECTED MURDgr. AT FONTAINEBLEAU.
--
The judicial inquiry relative to the mysterious discovery
of the body of a lady, Madlie. Mertens, in the forest of
Fontainebleau, has just terminated by a charge of murder,
robbery, and forgery brought against her companion,
Madame Fregard. The trial will commence at the assizes
of Melon in the month of August.

A MAN MAY NOT MARRY HIS GRANDMOTHER.—
The advantage of old men marrying young wives
is discussed by Dr. Cobausen ; and he strongly urges all
who have entered on the sere and yellow leaf to take to
themselves wives of very early age : that if Providence has
not made them superintendents of orphanages, or school-
masters, they may be enabled at small expense to inhale
youthful breath. Mon with wives already are to sleep
and spend their days in the nursery. As an instance of
the advantage patriarchs taking girlish wives, he re-
lates the story of a certain ancient man, with snow-
white hair and beard, who married at the advanced age of
eighty. After a while the old man fell ill, all his hair and
skin came off. On his recovery, he had a fresh transparent
complexion, and a magnificent bushy head and chin of
vivid red hair. "Whatever you do!" earnestly entreats
the doctor, "never marry an old woman ; she will absorb
all the vital principal from your lungs, and poison you
with her exhalations. Alas, for him, who, in hopes of
gaining money, marries a rich old spinster. She becomes
youthful, and ho prematurely aged. For old women," ho
continues, "are like cats, whose breath is poiouous in life.

of total disfranchisement was too severe, and confounded
the innocent with the guilty.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, however, maintained that
the punishment was not more severe than the offence de-
served. It was necessary to make an example, and there
were ample precedents for what had been done. Besides,
the seats which formerly belonged to those boroughs had
been disposed of to other towns.
The discussion was continued briefly by Lords Stanley
of Alderley, Skelmersdale, Kimberley, and Malmesbury,
and eventually the amendment was negatived without a
division, and the four boroughs remained disfranchised.
Clauses up to 11 were then agreed to.
The House then resumed, and the other orders of tho
day having been disposed of, their lordships adjourned at
25 minutes past 12 o'clock.

costly a prize not to be made the most of ; so he
was hurried from sight to sight, from review at sea
to review on land, from dinner to ball, from opera
to supper, till he sank wearily to sleep, and forgot
his toils on what to him was a strange couch. As
we begin to understand his feelings we can better
realise his sensations on awaking in the morning to
the pastimes his hospitable entertainers had chalked
out for him. If he rose for prayer at dawn, for
which no call from mosque sounded through Buck-
ingham Palace, he might have looked over the huge
city during its only peaceful moments, and felt with
a sigh of relief that the monster slept. When to
his Eastern mind a full third of the day had been
spent, if he looked again he would have seen the
gathering Franks, to whom it was but beginning,
pouring in thousands along the Mall, and felt that he
was the bear they were corning to bait. At every cover
he must have peered with suspicion with a shade of
pork darkly crossing his mind. had the prayer been
repeated over the animals slain that covered the
Christian board? Was the mind of the Sublime
Porte at case, that he, a descendant of the prophet,
was the right man in the right place, as a guest in
the Palace of the Unbeliever ? What did the Turk
think—who knows not the value of time—of his
five minutes' lunch at Windsor ? Perhaps he felt
that these Christian dogs had a wonderful facility
in bolting their food. What were the SULTAN'S
impressions—who, if he does not believe that the
wind and the tide should obey him, at least holds
that it is expedient that lie should obey the wind
and the tide—when our Lady the QUEEN stepped on
board her yacht, through whose rigging a gale of
wind was howling, for the amusement of reviewing
her fleet at Spithead ? It is no light thing for the
" Asylum of the Universe " to be turned upside
down and inside out, a sorry spectacle before this
Woman Ruler of the Franks. ABDOOL-AZIZ left
London on Tuesday morning, no doubt satisfied that
in their own uncouth way the Feringliees had done
their best to entertain him. lie may carry
away a grateful remembrance of the effort,
but we feel sure that he will recall his week
in London as one of ceaseless worry while be
remained the show of the ever-moving, restless
throng among whom Le had so unguardedly placed
himself. We ought to make a wide difference in
our manner of entertaining an Eastern Potentate
and a body of Belgian Volunteers. It is scarcely
possible to leave to the former too much quiet and
repose, while it is difficult to overdo excitements and
amusements for the latter. To gratify and pro-
vide for these peculiar national characteristics is
rue hospitality.—Anglo-American Times.

THE SULTAN'S VISIT.

If pleasure and sight-seeing be a weary pastime
,o even young people of western Europe, what

must have been the toil to ABDOOL-AZIZ of the lasi

few weeks. It requires long residence in the east
for the people of either England or France to com-
prehend the feelings of the grand Turk when he
found himself the centre of attraction in the great

cities of Paris and London. A Christian sovereign
is more or less trained to be a show. It is his
most irksome duty to form the principal figure in
pageants, and to take the foremost place in
cumbrous ceremonial, but it is all after his kind—
the customs and habits to which he has been
educated. Yet it wearies inexpressibly, and he is
a rare monarch who does not occasionally break
impatiently through the etiquette which fences him
around. The leading idea of an eastern potentate
is that power is to be used for personal gratification,
not for the benefit of his subjects. If he be lazy
he reposes in a state of dolce fur niente, and the
rule passes into the hand of his minister. If he be
sensual he fills his harem with houris, and the law
of the Prophet against the sparkling bowl becomes
a dead letter. If he be cruel the heads of the faith-
ful are severed from their bodies; whatever may be
his idiosyncrasy he makes it felt over his dominion.
So long as he occupies his throne he is widely sepa-
rated from all around him. Those who come in
contact with him address him as the Master of the
Universe—almost as GOD on earth—whom it is

their business to obey at the sacrifice of their lives,
as his slaves—the mere creatures of his will. No
doubt there are controlling influences which ho feels
indirectly, but he reads little, and knows little, even
of the country over which he presides. The plunge
of the SULTAN from his capital of Constantinople
into the midst of Parisian and London society is
in truth a " header," a sort of cold bath, which it is
impossible for us fully to comprehend. An Eug-
iishmau,
finding himself id au Eastern city feels
how strange all is around him ; yet he is not ad-
mitted into Turkish houses, he does not view more
than the outside of Turkish society, he does not dine
at their tables, converse with their wives and daugh-
ters ; he is not introduced into their harem, and,
however strange the change may be, it is but
the outside of things he sees. Reading lessens
much of the novelty, and his roving habits break
in a measure the strangeness of the scene. But
ABDOOL-AZIZ, without such preparation, found
himself on the boulevards of Paris, not many hours
after the minarets of Constantinople had sunk below
the horizon. From that moment he became the centre
of a throng of Franks. Thousands of eyes were for ever
peering at him. At his elbow stood the reporter,
pencil in hand. The lens of the photographer was
directed at him. If he spoke, his words circulated
through the press ; if he looked, if he laughed, if he
yawned, all was recorded in large type for the in-
- formation of the world. He was too rare and

LANGIIAM lIOTEL.

The annual meeting of this cimpany„ was held
yesterday at the hotel, Langliam-place, the Earl
of Shrewsbury in the chair.
Mr. Grant, the secretary, read thl report, which
stated that at the present time the receipts .were
much in excess of any former period. There was
an available balance of £16,085, which the directors
proposed to appropriate as follows :--£2,400 for
dividend on preference shares, £6,000 to deprecia-
tion fund, leaving a balance of £7,636 available for
dividend on the ordinary share capital, which could

not be paid till February next.
The CHAIRMAN said it was not the intention of
the directors to ask the shareholders to adopt the
report on the present occasion. Several shareholders
who held a large interest in the company felt dis-
satisfied at the small return of profits on the large
business done in the hotel, and had placed them-
selves in communication in the most friendly spirit,
and it had been mutually agreed that a committee
of consultation should be appointed. He bad there-
fore to propose " That a committee of seven be ap-
pointed to confer with the Board on all affairs con-
nected with the management of the hotel, with the
object of enforcing economy in all departments) and

THAMES.

Aan aged woman, was
broughtN O Lri S
before Mr.
—Mary
.tpaget„ charged
with using threatening
language and breaking a pane of glass of the house No. 6,
Chamber -court, Whitechapel.
A little more than three months ago the prisoner was
convicted by Mr. Partridge, on her plea of guilty, of a
very cruel robbery, and sentenced to three months' im-
prisonment and hard labour. She met a little girl under
five years of ago, took the boots of the child's feet, and
made away with them. The prisoner was released from
prison on Saturday last, and yesterday she repaired to the
dwelling of the girl's parents, a respectable couple named
Moore, abused them, and said she would have her revenge
upon them for causing her to be sent to prison. She also
broke a pane of glass and made a great disturbance. Her
language and imprecations wore most horrible.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner was very leniently dealt
with by his colleague, after committing a most audacious
and cruel robbery. The prosecution was a most proper
one, and the prisoner had shown a very revengeful spirit.
If sho dared to molest Mr. and Mrs. Moore again when sho
came out of prison, or went near their house and made a
disturbance, he would commit her to prison for six month
if she did not find bail. The prisoner was a hardened old
sinner, and quite undeserving of the mercy extended
towards her. He should now sentence her to two months,
imprisonment and hard labour.

repeated over the animals 'slain that covered the
Christian board? Was the mind of the Sublime
Porte at ease, that he, a descendant of the prophet,
was the right man in the right place, as a guest in
the Palace of the Unbeliever ? What did the Turk
think—who knows not the value of time—of his
five minutes' lunch at Windsor? Perhaps he felt
that these Christian dogs had a wonderful facility
in bolting their food. What were the SULTAN'S
impressions—who, if he does not believe that the
wind and the tide should obey him, at least holds
that it is expedient that he should obey the wind
and the tide—when our Lady the QUEEN stepped on
board her yacht, through whose rigging a gale of
wind was howling, for the amusement of reviewing
her fleet at Spithead ? It is no light thing for the
" Asylum of the Universe " to be turned upside
down and inside out, a sorry spectacle before this
Woman Ruler of the Franks. ABOOOL-Azrz left
London on Tuesday morning, no doubt satisfied that
in their own uncouth way the Feringhees had done
their best to entertain him. lie may carry
away a grateful remembrance of the effort,
but we feel sure that he will recall his week
in London as one of ceaseless worry while be
remained the show of the ever-moving, restlesss

himself. 'We ought to make a wide difference in
our manner of entertaining an Eastern Potentate

possible to leave to the former too much quiet and
repose, while it is difficult to overdo excitements and

Signor Rattazzi, replying to Signors Miora and

The Government having requested explanations
from Paris on the subject, were informed that
General Dumont had no official mission in Paris. In
order to learn the real state of affairs, Signor Nigra
had been summoned from Paris. and arrived yesterday
in Florence. The Government were desirous that the

strictly carried out by the two contracting parties
being jealous of upholding the dignity and inde-

said that he awaited other explanations in reply
to his demand to be informed of the terms of
the mission entrusted to the French General. He
did not believe that the Antibes Legion could be

TilE GAME OF " LA CROSSE."

By the kind permission of Lord Ranelagh, 3
group of 18 Iroquois Indians were enabled yester-
day to introduce, in the grounds of Beaufort House,
Walham-green, for the first time in this country, 3
national game of Canada, called "La Crosse." IS`
bare mention of the character of the game will 101
mediately shmv that Lord Ranelagh's extensive
grounds are remarkably well adapted to such exer-
cise as it involves. The " Crosse" is an instrument
somewhat resembling a racket bat. It is composed
of hickory wood, having a long handle at one end,
and at the other a curve, or loop, which is filled up
by a network of catgut or whipcord. The length el
the handle and the construction of the frame enable
the player to exercise full control over the ball, and
to lift it from the ground with a facility which coda
not be achieved by means of any other instrument
used at games with the ball. The ball in this case
is made of indiarubber, and is not less than eight
inches,•and not more than nine, in circumference.
By one of the rules which govern the game plaYers
.
are forbidden to catch or to throw, or to pick up thls
ball with the hand ; but they are permitted to lift It
from a hole, or to any other spot which is inacces-
sible to the crosse, and to block or pat it in order to
protect the face or body. Under any other circunv
stances it must not be touched, except with the
crosse, which instrument, though somewhat heavl,
is wielded by these Iroquois Indians with surpris-
ing agility and dexterity ; and it is interest-
ing to observe the amount of physical exer tee
they are able to undergo in their endeavour to at-
tain the goal. This goal is formed by two flag pow'
seven feet apart, and the duty of " keeping" it is all
important feature in the game. Besides the goal-
keeper there are various fixed places for the players,:
called respectively "point,"" cover-point," "centre'
" home," and " fielders"—terms which have douhv-
less been translated into English by a well-skilled
,
cricketer. Nevertheless the game partakes more n'
the character of hockey or football than of crick
In short, it conveys the idea of football played sot,.
an instrument instead of the foot, for the ball on
thrown into the field, the players are compelled.
pace the ground with a helter-skelter rapidity which
is suggestive of that old English pastime. The pic-
turesque dresses of the players on the present oci
sion naturally contributed to the general effect °„
the game ; but, irrespective of this consideratioel
may be said that " La Crosse" (which is now abetil
to be played in different parts of the country) w
doubtless speedily find favour at our large eche°iio
where the promoters of the present " movetnenis
purpose gaining an opportunity for the lroqu°
Indians to exercise their skill and agility.
