THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT The
statute law of England provides that
O parliament shall not continue more
than seven years. The sovereign,
however, is at liberty to dissolve the
parliament and order the election of
a new one whenever he thinks it ex-
pedient to do so, so that the parlia-
ment do not average moro than half
their legal term. The parliament in
existence ut the commencement of
this century was dissolved Juno 90,
i962. From list before us, we find
that since then there have been eigh-
teen parliaments, the first assembling
November Is, 1902, and the last has
finished its work. This, including
the intervals between the dissolution
OF one parliament and the assembling
OF the next, gives an average of three
years and eight months; but exclnd
ing those intervals, the average is less
than three years and q half. The
longest parliaments of this century
were the sixth, which continued from
April 81, 1920. to June Q, 1926, six
years one month and twelve days,
and the seventeenth, which continued
from May 81, 1859, to July 6, 1865,
six years one month and six days.
The shortest were the second, from
December 15, 1906, to April 30, 1907,
four months and fourteen days; the
eighth, from October 26, 1880, to
April %, 1881. five months and twen-
ty.eighs days; and the ninth, from
June IA. 1881, to January 8, 1882, six
months and twenty DAYS.

BUTLER AND THE LOUISVILLE CoU-
RIER.-The Cou'ier-Jouanal, of yes
terday, published private letter
from Gen. Butler, in which lie says:
THAT we are politically opposed, I
think must arise from the different
light in which we see the same thing.
The South has no firmer friend than
am, and have ever been. 1t is n
part of my country; and although I
may misjudge in the best way to pre-
vent the South from the consequences
OF what I must regard as a great
crime, and still worse, blunder, yet
[ would do anything if I could be
convinced that it would tend to the
prosperity, quiet and regeneration of
the South, as part of my country.
L bear no hatred toward the South,
or Southern men as such, if know
my own heart; but I am opposed
only to those who still war upon the
best interests of the country, as 1
understand them; and that opposi-
tion, from the very necessities of my
nature, will be n stern and unyield-
ing one. L hope to see you and as
sure you, in person, that I can be rs
ardent friend in peace as I was a
determined and unrelenting foe in
war;" The Courier-Jomnol says of
this: Gas partisan we have untir-
ingly fired the heaviest guns in our
battery at Gen. Butler. When he
scars SO high, and demonstrates that
his will is equal to his capacity for
good, our guns shall all be spiked, or
turned upon those who may assail his
acts in our behalf"

depending on the manner in which it

found opposing the walks of iniquity
he takes delight in the downfall of
neighbors he never rejoices in the
prosperity of any of his fellow-crea-
lures he is always ready to assist in
destroying the peace of society he
takes no pleasure in serving the Lord
he is uncommonly diligent in sowing
disorder among his friends and ac-
quaintances he takes no pride in
laboring to promote the cause of
Christianity he has not been negli-
gent in endeavoripg to stigmatize all
public teachers he makes no exer-
tions to subdue his evil passions he
strives hard to build up Sntan's king
dom he lends no aid to the support

contributes largely to the evil adyer-
sary he pays no attention to good
advice he gives great heed to the

must go where he will receive the

syoRx or Two CALYEs.-Jim Smith

lifted her hoofs and laid "Greeny"

"There," said Jim, "that shows

A remarkable account is given in a
late English paper of the escape of n
convict from prison. The cell in
which he was confined had an iron
door, with n lock entirely on the out
side. The only implements the pri-
soner had were a wooden spoon,
some bits of wire and n needle and
thread. Out of the spoon he made
key; by means of the needle he
passed thread over and under the
door; bits of wire were pushed
through the inspection hole, and fas-
tened to this long thread extending
outside from top to bottom. The key
was also pushed through, and, being
fastened to the thread, was brought
opposite the key-hole by dexterous
manipulation of the slender line
worked gently in, then turned by
means OF the wire, and the door was
opened. This is certainly ono of the
greatest exhibitions of skill and pa
tience on record

BURNING OF FoREPAUaH's MENACE
Ri. There was considerable excite
ment in Philadelphia, on Saturday
last. Messrs. Roscoe, Clarke & Co. g
saw mill, in the Northwest part of
the city, was burned and the flames
were communicated to an adjoining
building, which was used for winter
ing Forepaugh's menagerie. The
animals escaped into the street, Sc
riously alarming the people. A large
African lion was caught in the street
by throwing over him box used for
mixing mortar. A leopard rushed
into a house where were several wo-
men and children, but the beast was
as much frightened as the women
and children. and took refuge in the
cellar. The total loss is estimated at
$65, 600.

Memo SUFFRAGE DEFEATED IN
MISSOURI. Negro suffrage was de-
feated in Missouri by the German
voters. 1t is lost by 20, 900 majority,
while the radicals carried the State
by a very heavy majority. In one
ward in st. Louis, where the Ger
man vote was strong, Grant got 65S
majority, with majority of 1921
against negro suffrage. In another,
there was n Grant majority of CTS,
with majority against negro suf-
frage of 1850. These Germans be-
lieve that Gen. Grant continues to
hold the opinion he used to express,
that negro freedom does not include
negro suffrage.

Two politicians of indianapolis
made an agreement that if Seymour
was elected President, one of them
was to- take wife in six weeks, or
forfeit $500; and if Grant was elected,
the other was to do the same. The
gentlemen are both ''old bachelors"
and the question with the loser now
is a pecuniary one, whether $500 paid
out and no marriage won't in the
long run be n better Investment than
a marriage with numerous $500 bills
in the future.

About half-past o'clock, yester-
day morning, the ferry boat Hamil-
ton, on the Fulton Ferry, in entering
the slip on the New York side, ran
into the ferry boat Union. The Ha-
milton was crowded with passengers,
most of whom had congregated on
the forward part of the boat, and Sc
veral of the more exposed, seeing u
collision was imminent, jumped into
the river. The crash on the boats
coming together was fearful, killing
two passengers and wounding some
thirty others. The accident was
caused solely by the incompetency of
the man acting as pilot of the Ha-
