A farm laborers' demonstration was held
recently on the battle field of Naseby.
Joseph Arch, with whom the idea seems to
have originated, was met by procession
near the obelisk erected to commemorate
the battle, and conducted with banners and
bands of music into the village of Market
Marlborough. He made a long speech to
the laborers, advocating the extension of
the county franchise, the return of few
farmers in parliament, the rejection of the
agricultural holdings bills and the repeal
of the game laws.
Sir David L. Salomans is young Eng
lish baronet who graduated from college
in 1878, and is likely to distinguish his IT,
tie by showing that it is not at all needed
to make man of him. He does not neg
lect society, but on the other hand is not
absorbed by it. For vocation he appears
to have chosen practical science, and al
ready has made some interesting and useful
discoveries. At his beautiful seat near
Tunbridge, where he is very popular he
has a scientific laboratory, and there he
passes much of his time. He is said to
have devised an almost perfect method OF
signalling on railways. One of his most
interesting inventions is a method of taking
instantaneous photographs of momentary
scenes. The work is done by aid of an
| electrical apparatus, but the secret of it,
which the photographers are very anxious
| to obtain, Sir David will not reveal at pres

innocent children from these monsters of
cruelty, the parents some time will lose pa

The London Times of the 10th Of June
says, yesterday afternoon.three boys and
a little girl named Minnie Jordan, daughter
of bricklayer living in Great st. Andrews
street, Seven Dials, were sitting upon the
parapet of the Thames embankment, be-
tween Waterloo and Hungerford bridges,
when sudden gust of wind blew one of
the bows on to the pavement and the little
girl into the river. A cry for help was
raised, and gentlemen who was passing
slipped the collar from his Newfoundland
dog, lifted the animal up and coollY drop
ped him into the water. The child at that
moment rose to the surface, and the saga
cious brute turned his head in her direction,
seized her by the collar of her cape, and,
directed by his master, swan with his little
burden to the adjacent stairs. The gentle
man called 9 cab, placed the child I'M it, and
drove off to the Endell-street Baths, whence
the girl was taken home, little the worse
for her immersion. The owner of the dog
refused to give his name, but observed that
, the dogs name was Ready.
