being run over and killed yesterday afternoon
by the four O'Clock train from Boston. He was
driving along in his buggy, near the crossing at

PARLIAMENT.
LONDON July 24.-lu the commons, to-day,
George Dixon, member for Birmingham, wished
to know if the reduction of the civil list was
possible. Mr.. Gladstone replied that heIconsid-
cred that the question arose from a misappre-
hension of the character of the list, which, he
said was a solemn compact between the SOW
ereign and the people at the beginning of each
reign. Any economical advantages which re-
suited were to be credited to the crown, and not
to the country. 1t would be well for parliament
to maintain this view of the civil list, as it
would contribute to encourage the queens SER
wants TO fulfil their duties
