The New York Times remarks that "peo-
pie were beginning to think that the once
brilliant Gladstone had become, as states
man, dull and deficient in resources The
bold maneuvre by which the abolition of the
purchase system in the British army has
been taken out of the hands Of the House of
Peers, is little short of political coup d'etat
Such slap in the face has not been admin
istered to hereditary wisdom since Crom-
wells time, and there is no pluck left in the
Tory aristOcracy if they do not attempt
bitter reparation. If the House of Lords
tamely submits TO snub like this, the
British democracy will be encouraged to
make short work of their abolition"

peculiar, is given as follows:
1t was originally the property ofa gem
t!eman named Barnhill, tho granefathrI
of the present owners. Being asympn-
thiser with the American cause during
the revolutionary war, he was compelled
to flee from his home in Ph'ladelphia
when the British troops, under Howe.
entered and took possession. HIS house
and furniturewere taken by the troops,
and the case of the clock whicn stood
some eight feet high was used for fuei'

American t,ooops reoccupied the city
the works were found by the owner on

"Deveroux Bowly, London" The
dwelling of Mr.. Barnhill stood at the
corner of Third street and Church alley
The clock is made to chime every fifteen
minutes, and has six bells. 1t is quite
a curiousity in its instruction, and is in
good state of pi eservation, with the
exception efthe irst bell which is crrck-

since the destruction of the old on.. 1t
