The London Orchestra says of Mile.
Parepa's recent appearance in the repre-
sentation of " Elijah" that the reception

]. Stuart Mills Debut in Parliament.
A good deal of amusement has been ex-
cited by Mr.. Mills first parliamentary en-
counter. 1t was known for some time
that Mr. Lowe, n of the keenest debaters
/ n Parliament, was watching for an op-
portunity to humiliate the philosopher
who now represents Westminster. In a
little matter referring to the compensation
that should be given to the owners of the
cattle which the Government was about
order to be slaughtered, to prevent the
spread of the cattle plague, Mr.. Mill had
shown how the heaviest burden ought to
fall on the aristocraoy-the land owners.
MI. Lowe, after some banter about the
impractieability of reducing the theories

condition, made some plausible objections
to Mr.. Mills views. As soon as he was
through, MI. Mill touched loves fabric
of sophistry, and it crumbled so plainly
that the House burst into a laugh, and
wen Mr.. Lowe-an albino-reddened.
The Pail Nall Gazette gives an amusing
account of the fight in the style and lingo
of the prize ring, and conclues that "Mr.
Lowe will be comparatively slow to court
another encounter it was even clear, after
one of Mr.. Mills last hits, that he was by
no means fond of his iob.'n The more
important fact however, is that Nj. Mills
short speech induced the Government to
change its bill-the first maiden speech
that ever did SO much, The Saturday Re
Uie10, which is in no sympathy with Mr..
Mills radioalism, has a remarkable article
on the subject, which concludes thus
Mr.. Mill will never be 8 fayorite speaker.
There are, probably, no rhetorical tri-
umphs before him. He neither thinks nor
speaks in a style that is popular or vul-
carly attractive. The strong Gyas and
the strong Cloanthes will begin to talk
whenever he rises, but the leaders will
listen, and Gyas and Cloanthes will vote.

is, perhaps, only partially applicable to
