Further Legislation ON the Irish
Church Question.

Farther Legislation ON the Irish
Church Question.
LONDON, July l7--Midnight.-In the
House of Commons tonight the considera-
tion of the Irish church bill was continued.
Mr.. Gladstone approved the amendment
granting half million for private endow.
ments made prior to 1916, but moved to
disagree 70 the provision in continuation
of the Ulster grants.
Disrasli thought the proposals Of the
Lords reasonable.
Stafford and Northcote thought Mr..
Gladstoue's proposal would convert the
established church into an involuntary
missionary church. He asked as an act of
justice and expediency that globes should
be left.
Raurdell Palmer supported the LoIds'
| amendment granting half million pounds
for private endowments. Agreed TO
The amendment Continuing the Ulster
grants was rejected by 345 to 240. The
announcement was cheered from the
ministerial benches.
Disraeli intima ed that it was not nee
essary for the house 10 divide on any other
amendment except that of postponing dis
sition of turpi us funds.
Mr.. Gladstone moved TO disagree and
Di rasli up?olted the Lords amendment.
He thought the government: plan was not
mature and ought not to be left for future
consideration.
Mr.. Bright said the distribution OF the
surplus was a difficult matter. The gov
eminent had made minute inquiry as to
the suitable distribution of income arising
from the surplus. He had no interest other
than any member of the house. On the
contrary, on The new issues of the Irish
people every one acknowledged that the
money was the property of the Irish and
ought to be applied to benefit Ireland.
This plan was open to test the objection.
To leave the question open would only
pave the way for future embarrassment.
He appealed to the house not to put an
obstacle in the way of The passage Of the
bill. The country had conhded with the
fullest sincerity in the governments desire
to make Ireland en- integral part of the
kingdom and her connection with England
closer. The, amendment of the L0r 8 was
then rejected by 29O against 2lS. Great
cheers greeied the result.
LONDON, July 1.-THE debate Of the
Church bill continued till late hour this
evening. D'Israeli regretted that the
course of the government on amendments
intimated an agreement which has been
violated Gladstone replied if any harm
has been done it came from another side,
all pledges being more than fulfilled
Gathern hardly thought that the
Lords had been treated unworthy BY the
Commons. Bright responded, and com.
mittee was appointed to frame reasons for
an agreement with the Lords.
The bill for the government purchase Of
Geographic lines in the Kingdom has been
read the second time. Adjourned.
LONDON, July 17.-Mr. Bigley, of the
United States, had an interview with
Earl Granville yesterday with reference
to the release Of American citizens now
imprisoned on charges Of Fenianism. He
presented petition signed by members
Of the American Congress and British
Parliament urging the discharge OF such

THE SEAsoNs.-It has been proved by
statistics that the healthiest quarter Of
of the year is that ending with June 30.
The unhealthiest is that which immedi~
ately follows, and terminates with Sep
TENDER 80. DR.. Samuel Rogers, an emi>
nent English lecturer, attributes the inN
creased mortality at that time to excessive
heat and sunstroke. The best remedy
against these evils are taught by the
Indians, toswit: "To keep the body wet
and cold by the external appliances Of
water" DR.. Rogers argues that the use
Of fiannels in hot weather is mistake
and believes in free but judicious use o.
cold water, both internally and exter'
nally. He expresses the opinion that ar
ordinary observance Of the simple rules
of hygiene and a proper caution in mat
ters Of diet will insure and preserve gooC
health, under ordinary circumstances
during the most trying periods OF the

BALLOON UP FOR THE NORTH PoLE-
French journals mention the construc"
ton of a balloon designed to go to the
North Pole. The most distinguished
eronauts in France are interested in the
project, and government aids its. The
balloon is made of some very elastic
fabric which will swell in the upper and
more rarefed air and make room for the
expansion of gas without bursting. 1t is
the largest ever made, and will carry ten
persons, supplies for months, and four
thousand pounds of ballast. With this
aerial vehicle the voyagers expect to set
tie the question of an open polar sea and
dispense all the other mysteries of thai
portion of the globe. French scientists
do not ridicule the undertaking though
on the other hand, they do not pin theil
faith on it. They are willin G to wait an

The following card is in answer to an
article copied several days ago from the
Memphis Ledger, and explains itself.
To the Editors of the Union and American.
NASHVILLE, July II, 1S69.-SIRs: l
see in your paper fthe 18th, an article
copied from the Memphis Ledger, headed.
"a Scaly Fellow-How Nashville
man Courted a Southern Girl in Mem
phis." Now as l am the only agent for
Fairbanks Scales, at II South Market
street, | cannot but express my just in>
dignation of so foul SANDER upon my
character, perpetrated by some villain
GUS scoundral whom l will prosecute
to the full extent of tho law.
deny the charge of ever being en-
gagged TO any lady in Memphis. The
lady whom they say has been so basely
wronged by me, will vindicate her own
cluse, ard clear me from this foul
charge, in every particular.
The statement also made that | was
married in Chicago in 1861, or any other
year, or that l ever obtained divorce
there, is base lie. They also state that
met the young lady above mentioned
at Court Square, and that contrived to
send her word from the Overton Hotel,
to let her know I was in the city, is
without foundation. l never eluded any
of my friends while in Memphis, as rep
esented, but on the contrary, l visited
them at their homes, walked with them
done business with them, and enjoyed
myself socially on all occasions when
there. The last time l was in Memphis
did not call on McCombs & Co, as
had no business with them, and was moi
under any obligations to call on then
more than any one else. l have Away
considered them gentlemen and have al
ways been treated with due respect by
them.
My last trip to Memphis was on pri
vate business connected with our hous'
in Cincinnati only.
They further state that | am writing
love letters to the deluded Southern girl
This also is false. / have written he
since this vile SANDER was published AM
sent her copy of the paper containing
it.
| am confident in due course Of tim
she will honor her particular friends i
Memphis with reply through some pa
per, defending herself and corroboratin
my statement here.
They further state that l was IN tn
Federal army, and after the close OF tn
| war was stationed at Franklin, wher
y che had some fine shade trees cut dow
} for wood" This fact they say was re
3 ported to the authorities at Nashville an
, he was removed" They further say tn
scoundrel now denies that he was eve
in the Federal army. All this is false
3 every particular. l do not think it an
a disgrace to have been in the Feder'
q army, (for l think there was good man
o good men in it, and would be sorry
2 say there was one more dishonorao
y than the scoundrel who published tn
a calumny against me and my character.
J. These charges either emanate fro
some source that is irresponsible, or fro
some black hearted wretch that l WI
Q hold responsible for every charge he b

CHASTITY JuHE

A CHASTITY joke is reported from New
Orleans A young doctor of that city
paid his addresses to lady, who, among
other curiosities in her parlor, had a
human skull to which the physical
took a wonderful fancy and repeatedly
solicited her for it Some mornings
since, he was agreeably surprised by re-
ceiving from his young lady friend a
beautiful looking pudding, with her
compliments. He sent it at once to his
room mate, an apothecary, with lnstruc'
tons to have it for dinner that day. A
friend dropping in at meal-time was in
vited to dine, and accepted, in consider
alton of the fine pudding which was
promised. After the meat dinner
the pudding-which appeared a very
chef d eurre-was brought on, and the
trio united in praise of its excellence.
Indeed, they one and all asserted that
there was a peculiarly agreeable flavor
about it, which one thought lemon, an
other vanilla. The doctor insisted on
replenishing the saucers of his friends
aud was about to help himself second
time, when he struck with the knife
hard substance. Pushing his explora'
tons further, he f-hed up, to his horror
a grinning skull, the very skull he had SO
often vainly importuned his lady frienC
to give him. That dinner party adjourned
with wonderful rapidity, and with fright
full EXPLANATIONS.
