Previons to this period, members of
Parliament had to be paid by their
constituencies but the practice grow
Ing up of members bearing their own
expenses, many ancient boroughs,
which had formerly been exempted
from the returns on account Of their
poverty, became desirous Of resuming
their franchise.
The number Of members in 1917
was 658. The additions from Edward
vi. to Charles i. were almost entirely
of borough members. In the fourth
Parliament of Charles l., the number
of places in England and Wales for
which returns were made, exclusive of
counties, amounted to 30; and in the
time of the Stuarts the total number
of members of the House of Com
mons was about 500. The number
Of members was not materially altered
from that time until the union with
Scotland, in the reign Of Queen Anne,
when As representatives in Scotland
were added. The next considerable
change was at the union with Ireland,
at the commencement OF the present
century, when the House of Commons
was increased by 100 Irish represen-
tatives. The number Of members Of
the House has remained nearly the
same ever since but at the passing OF
the Reform Acts, extensive alterations
were made as to the places represented.
THE COMMONS IN 1864.
The total number of representatives
in the House of Commons was as fol-
lows in the session of 1864:

INDIAN SUMMER.


Clothed In royal robes the woodland,
Scarlet-hued, and gold, and green |;
Green and golden carpets cover
All the brown earth thickly over
fairest that were ever seen.
And the Autumn's mystic seeming,
As a sweet, prophetic dreaming,
With fond fancies overteeming,
a. Weaves around its magic spell;
As its lullings, low and lazy,
And its dim airs, soft and hazy,
And its gentle, soothing murmurs
Many tale Of wonder tell. ~.
For witchery Is ringing
Over forest, field and hill,
And . ic-burdened chorus
Slowly, softly swelling DER us,
Breaking in a thousand echoes,
Beais its music-burden still.
Dallying with dishevelled tresscs,
Now the woet wind gently presses
On fever heated brow, lf..ftH
And with soothing, sweet caresscs,
Whispers lovingly and low.
o. the world is full Of beauty,
In these dreamy days / sing;
All cnvailco in tender sadness
Sweeter than the summers gladncss,
Sweeter than the bud and blooming
or the beautiful bright spring.

PRrPARE FOR Mucm SSow.-Our old
est people, says the Toledo Record,
who have carefully noted the signs
of times" say that we will have an
unusual quantity of snow this winter.
They say that much rain during the
summer is always followed by heavy
falls Of snow in the winter, and claim
that the character Of the summer is
always an index to the character OF
the winter in this respect. Our last
wet summer was in 1S55-ten years
ago-and it will be recollected that
the winter of $3.50 afforded more
fine sleighing than any winter since.

TIE LOWER HOUSE.

The Lower House of Legislature,
by constitutional fiction, is held TO
represent all the "Commons Of Eng
land" Since 40 Hen. III. the House
has consisted of knights of the shire,
or representatives of cities; and bur-
gesses, or representatives of boroughs,
all of whom sit and vote together
Since the enactment of the statute Z
Hen. lV. C. 15, in the year l4O6, reg
ulating the election of knights of the
shire, numerous acts have been passed
for the election of members of Parli-
ament. Previous to that statute, the
crown had very large and absolute
power in limiting and prescribing, by
royal writs, the numbers. and qualifi-
cations of the person to be elected, as
well as of the constituencies. How
ever, the distribution of the franchise
in counties has always been far less
variable and irregular than in bor-
oughs, in nearly all cases two men,
bers being elected for every county
For cities and boruughs the constitu-
encies varied greatly from time to
time, and in Incorporated boroughs
depended chiefly on ancient customs,
and the terms of old charters and
privileges. The number of cities and
boroughs for which writs were issued
in the time of Edward l., and themes
to Edward ", appears TO have been
10. At the accession of Henry WILL,
the total number of constituencies,
including counties, had become re-
duced to 147. In that reign the num-
Der was considerably increased, chiefly
by the addition of representatives for
Wales. In all the following reigns,
up to the Restoration, large additions
10 the borough franchises werc made

AFTERNOON REPORT.

New York, June l4-The Times prints
Mesde's and Sheridan's reports of operations
securing Lees sdrrender. By Sheridan's re.
port il is made known that Warren was re.
lieved and sent to the rear for want of energy
and tsrdiness in execution of orders. 1t also
appears that Wright declined to obey Sheri-
dams orders until directed so to do by Gener.
al Grant Sheridans report is excitingly
interesting and the multiplicity of Grants s
movements.
The details Of their rapidity of execution
and effectiveness are astonishing. 1t appears
that he had bat one idea from the very CON.
mencemeut of the operations, and that was to
break up and capture Lees army and in this
idea it is evident he was in advance of Grant
himself

1t is the mission of HOSTETTERS S

iere great variety of ailments.
For twelve years its success as protective
and a remedy has been without check or draw
back. 1t is strong negdtiue evidence of this
fact, that the efficacy ofthe article as a specific
for dyspepsia, bilIiousness, constipation,
nervousness, general debility, and intermittent
fevers, has never been questioned.
AS proof positiUe of its infaIlibility in such
cases, the statements Of public men whose
names are familiar as household words, have
from time to time been given to the world.
If its reputation is not founded in facts,
then truth shadow, and the utterances of
conscientious citizens are of no value than
''dicers oaths
And what is its reputation2 Let the pro.
gress Of its sales answer the inquiry. Where
twenty dozen bottles Of Hostetter's Bitters
were sold in 1865, fire hundred dozen are
disposed of now.
Could public opinion be more significantly
