PARLIAMENT.

The annual political agitation in
England will begin on the 5th OF
Febauary whenP Parlirment begins its
session. The present Parliament was
elected in 1868 under the leadership
of Mr., Disraell who soon became
so unpopular as to be compelled to
resign. Mr.. Gladstone was chosen
his successor and has managed to
hold on to his office ever since
though his hold has been very
weak since the defeat of his ministry
on the University bill last year.
But Mr.. Gladstone promises to
remain at the helm for some time
yet owing to the dissension among
his opponents, and it is not unlikely
that the general elections to be held
in May and June may strengthen
his position in spite of the partial
failure of and general dissatisfaction
with his policy. The chief ques
ton before the coming Parliament
will be that Of suffrage extension
which Mr.. Gladstone favors an6
which will gain him some popular
itY.

The silk-worm's egg is about one
quarter the size of pins head, and
the reader may gain an idea of the
number of eggs now on their way
to Paris, when he learns that on this
one car there are nine and balf tons
of eggs.
The eggs are packed in leaves,
layer upon layer, and placed in air
tight tin boxes, which are in turn
covered with mating. The car is
kept at a temperature below the
freezing point, and no light is ad
mitted. The matting-covered boxes
are piled on either side. There is
nothing to be seen there but mating
and the appearance of the boxes is
certainly not indicative of the value
of the contents. This is the first at
tempt yet made to import silk-worms

foresight avails anything there is
every reason for success.-Chicdgo

TERRIBLE SUFFERING

The story of terrible suffering
that comes from Iowa will help to
give an idea of the risks assumed by
the pioneers who venture far out up
on the frontier to settle upon the
homestead lands. Being far out
of reach of supplies from the older
portions of the state, and being
generally poor and unable to buy
what they cannot raise, they are de-
pendent upon their first years crop
for food and upon the rude houses
that they can build in a single seas
on for shelter from the storms
There was Irouth in that region
last summer, crop were light and
many hundreds of families are al
ready suffering for food and cloth
ing. The Farmers Grange Associ-
alton has very properly taken the
case in hand, and, now thot the facts
are known, will not fail to provide
relief. The sufferers are farmers,
members of the grange fraternity,
and it will be the first duty of the
association to take care Of its. un-
fortunate aihercnts. 1t will be in
excusable, if with all the plenty
that prevails in the rich farming dis
sricts of the northwest these poor
sentries on the outpost Of civilian
tion are left to starve for want Of re :
lief.

On Sabbath evening, October 10Th,
a large congregation assembled in

A CAR LOAD OF SILK WORMS EGGS.

OAe of the most valuable consign.
ments that ever passed "across the
continent" arrived in Chicago yes
terday afternoon. One freight car
contained goods whose value ex-
ceeded 100000. The enormous
cost would be in itself circumstance
worthy of note, but the peculiar
character of the goods gives to the
affair additional interest. The con
signment was q car load of silk
worms eggs, en- route for France.
They were purchased in Yokahoma
by the French Government, and ar
rived in San Francisco December Is.
Only three days were lost in trans
ferring them to the freight car, and
December Is the precious packages
commenced their trans continent
journey.
In this country very few are famil-
lar with the silkworm, and can have
no idea of the appearance of the egg.
In England, where the climate is less
subject to extremes of temperature,
the silk-worm is as common pet as
the canary. Boys and girls all boast
a box of thriving silk-worms, and

END Of the ENGINEERS, STRIKE.

The telegraph and newspapers
from all points,east and west, an
nounce that the strike of the engi-
neers on the leased lines of the
Pennsylvania Company is at an end.
On FIVE railroads eentering at Chica-
go, namely, the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul, the Chicago and North
western, the Rock Island and Pacific
the Burlington and Quincy, and the
Michigan Central, the reduction that
was proposed to be made on lst of
January has been abandoned, Or at
least deferred. This was all the
engineers asked, and they have car
rid their point without resorting to
a strike. On the Chicago and Alton
road thessystem of running by the
mile has been adonted, which gives
the engineers In some cases more
wages th.sn' they had before. On the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railroad, we have the authority of
the Chicago Tribune for the state
ment that the managers have given
notice after the 1st of February the
pay of the engineers will be raised
to former rates or as they were be-
fore the panic. The Panhandle, the
Fort Wayne and the other roads of
the Pennsylvania Company still in

Part Of the striking engineers on
those roads have returned to their
work at the reduced rates, and part
have had their places filled by other
men and can now continue the strike
to their hearts content, without
hurting any one but themselves. 1t
is announced and confirmed that
