Foreign Affairs,

LONDON, August 11.-Parliament was pro-
rogued to-day by royal commission. The fol-
lowing message from the Queen was read;
'We are commanded by the Queen to dis
pense with your further attendance in Parlia-
ment. Her Majesty announces to you with
pleasure that she continues to receive from
foreign Powers the strongest assurances OF
their friendly dispositions, and that her conf
dence in the preservation of peace has been
continued and confirmed during the present
year. The negotiations in which her Majesty
was engaged with the United States have by
mutual consent been suspended. Her Majesty
earnestly hopes this delay may tend to main
tain the relations between the two countries
on durable basis of friendship.
EThe Queen has a lively satisfaction in ac-
knowledging the untiring zeal and assiduity
with which you have prosecuted the arduous
labors of the year. In the act for putting an
end to the establishment Of the Irish Church,
you have carefully kept in view several con-
siderations which, at the opening of the ses-
sion, were commended to your notice. 1t is
the hope of the Queen that this important
measure may hereafter be remembered as con-
elusive proof of the paramount anxiety OF
Parliament to pay reasonable regard in legis-
lating for each Of three Kingdoms to special
circumstances by which it may be bedistinguished,
and to deal on principles Of impartial justice
with all interests and all portions Ofthe nation.
eThe Queen firmly trusts that the act may
promote the work OF peace in Ireland and help
to unite all classes Of its people in that fra
ternal concord with their English and Scottish
fellow-subiects which musteyer form the chief
source of strength in her Majesty's extended
empire.
"The Queen congratulates you on having
brought vour protracted labors on the subject
of bankruptcy and Imprisonment for debt to
legislative conclusion, which is regarded with
lust satisfaction by the trading classes and
general public. The law framed for the better
government of the endowed schools OF Eng

Make an Agreement.
ALBANY Aug. II Gov. Hoffman has given the
contending parties to the Susquehanna Railroad
war to understand that riotous demonstrations
on either end Of the route must cease, and the
question of control be decided by the courts.
The parties undertook to agree upon some
method of adjustment but failed. His Excel
ency thereupOn said that he would be COM
PEELED to declare the district in a state of
insurrectOn, take possession Of the road as a
military necessity, and run it as a military road
If they thought such a course advisable for
the stockholders, and that the State should be
put to the expense of quarter of million dol
lars to enforce his proclamation, they might
take the responsibility. His course, however,
was clear to him, and he should pursue it,
Hereupon the counsel of the respective parties,
consisting of David Dudley Field, John Gan
son and Amasa j. Parker, representing the
Erie interest, and Messrs. William T. Allen
and Rufus W. Peckham, Jr., held a cOnsulta-
tion in the executive chamber, the result of
which was the signing Of the following COM
munication to the governor;
By virtue of certain jurisdiction and COLI
sions. it has become and is impracticable to
operate and run the Albany and Susquehanna
Railroad, either under the management Of the
directors or the control of persons claiming to
he receivers. The public interests and obli-
cations of the Company demand that the road
should be run and operated, and the under
signed. as outstanding claimants to the pos
session Of the road, hereby request you tC

pleasure, or until the necessity of such super

Some Of the definitions Of what is terH'-

By a contributor:
Newspaper patronage Is composed OF
many different varieties. One man comes
In, subscribes for the paper, and pays for
Il In advance. lie goes home and reads
Il, with the proud satisfaction that II Is
his.
lie hands IN his advertisement, asks the
price. pays for Il, goes to his place Of busl.
ness and rcaps the advantage. This ID
newspaper patronage.
Another man says: You must put my
name on your books, and goes or withou,
saying word about pay. Time passes
on, you want your pay, which Is honestly
due; he gets mad and orders his paper
stopped. This Is called newspaper pat
ronagc!
Another man has been subscriber for
long time, but has never paid cent.
At last he becomes tired Of you-wants a
change, and thinks he must have apapcr
printed In some distant city. lie tells the
postmaster he don't want your paper, and
Il Is returned 10 You marked refused.
Does he call and pay' No; he wants the
money to pay for his city paper. And
this, too, Is called newspaper patron

And life Is beautiful as long.
Only to love him-nOthing more;

And life Is daring when his yousg.

On the Subject Of building School House

On the Subject Of Building School House.
Mr.. Moderator: want to say word
about this ere new school-'us.' Most
everybody has had their say, and now I'd
like to hev' mine. can't set, as hcv'
sot for the last tew hours, and see the peO-
pies money flung away on new school
'us without saying word agln IL.
If understan' the matter right, 1t Is
proposed to spend tew thousand dollars
And what fur, Mr.. MODERATOR 10 set up
u high school-'us,' and teach the boys and
gals of Squawkboro' a lot o. high-falutin
stuff that will only make 'cm inperdent
and sassy! When went to school and
got my larnin,' All | studied was the three
R's-readin,' 'riiin,' and 'riihmetie; and
that is plenty enough for any boy to larn,
and too much for gal. II Is easy enough
for men to get up In town-meetin' and vote
away i.p housand dollars ut lick; but
how long would It take them to arm that
money themselves.
In my oppinion, Mr.. Moderator, there Is
too much money locked up In public
buildings already. Look at the mcctin'-
uses In Squawkboro'! F1ur, and any one
on 'em is big enough to hold all the people
that goes TO the hull OIL 'cm. How can n
town ever get ahead that has so much cap
ital locked up In mcetin-uscs? And every
one Oh 'cm callin' the other names! Sup
pose this vote passes, where are yc agoin
to put your new school-'us'? Thcre'll be a
puzzler for yc.
I'sposc Squire Snukes will try his poo
tlcst to have It built on his flvc-acre lot
and somehow the people Of this town think
they must dew jist what the squire tells
'em, because he was sent to Glnerai Court
one term. But can tell You Mr.. Modcra-
tor, that if the sceool-'us' Is put OH that
lot, 1t will be playin' mean thing on the
children that live over by SINNERS Pond,
and them that live by Silas Doozcnberry's
They can't come to school only when the
sun shines.
And don't want the thing built any
where near my place, know what I Is
to live near the school 'us'. dom want
my apples and peaches hooked, or my fen.
ccs hacked up by boys, to say nothin' a
bout the windcrs broken by base balls and
sich.
Mr.. Moderator. we've got along all
these years without this school.'us' why
can't we get along flity years morc' Why
Agate this peaceful town OF Squawkboro'
from one to tofhcr about eddicaiin' par
eel Of boys and gals that know n sight
more than their payments do already.
Tsp thousand doiiurs ! Ny gracious, Mr..
Moderator! just think Of tcw thousand dol
lars all NJ wonst! Just think Of the town
debt aor, and then picter TO yourself what
Il will be with tcw thousand more piled
onto Il. Look. forward a hundred and
