Ahother New Haven ScandaI-Wsmen and

Ihe people OF New Haven are at present fully
supplied with deeply interesting topics for
discussion, and among the latest, some isauper-
hole revelations made by three or four inSui
sitlVe women, which, If true, will compromise
the reputation of a lady and quite a number of
male church members, are attracting much At.
tsntion: A correspondent Of the Hartford
Times furnishes that paper with the following
history Of the matter
The lady concerned is said TO be married
woman and the leading female singer in one of
the church chOirs of this city and the parties
involved are also, some of them, married men.
Some OF them have left town suddenly. Some
scandalous tales are afioat but il is not hast "a

ceed from bevy Of three spinster ladies and
California widow" as the fountain-bead of
the news. These inquisitive females, living in
one part OF double house, of which the other
tenement was occupied by Mrs -, the al

attention called to the circumstances by the

through this clandestine aperture she took her
observations, and made daily memoranda of
names and dates in regard to the visitors.
Then, boiling over with the facts she could not
hold, she called the attention of the three
splnster fellow-lodgers to the goings on, and
they all took daily peep through the auger-
hole, and jOtted down certain damaging notes
1t Is not proper at this stage of the affair to

OF the parties are concerned is understood to

that il will all end in nothing The merchants

one, and, if L remember it rightly, is as fol-

Miie and daughter, an only child bright intel

She was seduced by an officer of the British
army; her mother died of broken heart and

SOMETHING LIKE BUsISEss.-If the rules of
the British Parliament in regard to speech.
making could be introduced into the Ameri-
can Congress, the business of legislation would
De much promoted, and the country would be
relieved from the food of amless and useless
talk with which it is every year Inundated
We quote the Philadelphia Press:
here Is only one speech on record, deliv-
cred in either house Of Parliament at any time
which ever approached the longitudinal charac-
ter Of heavy Congress oratory. and that was
delivered in the Commons, in 1923, by Henry
Brougham, on the subject of the administra-
tion Of the law, in which he exposed its abuses
and suggested all the principal reforms which
have since been made. That speech occupied
over six hours in delivery. O'Connell, Peel,
Lord John Russell, Palmerston, Roebuck, Cob
den, Bright, and few others, have made long
speeches-but these long ones are the excep-
tions. AS general rule, half an hours speech
Is considered very liberal allowance, and that
only to q hrst-rate man. Whoever, Of inferior
standing, should attempt to waste the public
time by difusiveness, would be coughed down,
or slienced by ridiculing cries of Hear, hear.
As Tor any mans reading what he may call a
speech, that is utterly out Of the question. In
the first place, il is unpaniamentary, and the
man who attempted it would be put down with
cries OF Order, on which the Speaker would
have to tell the honorable member. in the ger
tlest manner, TO shut up An extract from a
book may be read in speech, or a statement
Of figures, but to read a speech itself is impos-
sible. OF course, then, it is equally out of the
question for a member of either house to have
an undelivered speech admitted as spoken, and
