A Row IN THE HOUSE OF LoRDs.-1S5;

A Row IN THE HOUSE OF LoRDs.-1853.
I was witness to curious scene IN the
House of Lords, on the 25th of April of
this year, and as a very imperfect ac-
count OF it is given in Hansard, L offer
my version. The debate was on the
Clergy Reserves in the Canada bill. The
Bishop of Oxford, DR.. Wilberforce, i'll
making some quotation, smiled. This
gave otfense TO Lord Derby. The Bishop
Admitted the smile, put denied any in
|tention thereby of imputing anything
offensive. Lord Derby-I accept at once
the explanation that has been offered
by the Right Reverend Prelate, but
when he tells me that it Is impossible
for him to say anything offensive, be-
cause he has smiling face, he Will for
give me if quote in mis- presence from
a well-knoWn writer, without intend
ing in the least to apply the words to
him:
ga man may smile and smile, and be q vii
lain"
Lord Clarendon lin a voice of thun-
der r)-"0Al OIL Ohp Lord Derby
What noble peer is it whose nerves are
SO delicate as to he wounded by hack
neyed quotation? Lord Clarendon-I
am that peer, and protest against any
noble Lord applying even in the Ian
Rua86 Oh pOeIryj inc SplIuSb VI fllldlu w
any Member in the House, most of all
the use of such an expression by a lay
peer toward Right Reverend Prelate.
Peace -makers rose on both sides of the
house. The reporters had left the gallery,
the house was proceeding to a division,
Lord Clarendon poured out a glass OF
water and drank 1t off. Lord Derby at
the same time filled another bumper OF
water and called out across the table,
your good health, Clarendon" and SO
the affair ended. Lord Derby was prob
ably not aware that the same quotation
from '.HamleW had, more than fifty
yearssb elore produced somewhat simi-
| lar scene in the House of Commons. My
authority was The late Sir Robert Adair,
who was present. The contending par
ties were Tierney ana Pitt, who had
fought duel short time before. Tier
ney was addressing the House. Pitt
smiled contemptuously,u upon which, Tier.
ney said, "The Right Honorable gentle-
man smiles, but need l remind him that
man may smile aud smile" here he
paused. "Take the fellow message
| IRON me-" cried Pitt to one Of his follow
ers, but before the bearer OF the hostile
mission could reach the opposition
benches, Tierney added, "and yet be q
| minister" So the affair ended in laugh

THE papers tell Of a business house in
Columbus that conspicuously displays
in its show window mans skull, and
printed in large letters across the fore
head these words of warning: "This
was drummer" The story is probably
fabrication, but it indicates the TEN.
per OF class OF business men that is
well behind the times, and consequently
growing smaller every day. The bust.
ness man that don't want to see drum
mer has no great inducements to offer,
and customers soon cease also to bother
him. This is a day of push in all
classes of business, and the man that
ttSfuses to hear whatever is in his line
becS,'se he don't want to be bored had
betterNSstire at once.

Love by Telegraph.

There seems to be very intimate re
|latiOnship between love and electricity
Communication are continually pass
ing between the eyes of lovers by eIec
tric flashes. If, then, we are asked
"Can love be made by telegraph ?" We
should reply, "Certainly," even if W.
never knew AN instance in which it
was done. ...
There are, however. many stories cur
rent of the marriages that have taken
place between telegraphists, the court
ship having been carried ON through the
medium OF the wiEes. Chambers gives
US case, related by Mr.. Scudalaore.
inFwhieh the parties were certainly far
enough apart to begin with.
At one time male operator occupied
the seat at one end Of the wire between
Berlin ana London, female the seat at
the other end. In the intervals OF dis.
patches they chatted together by the
aid OF the wire, and in this way became
acquainted with each others habits and
character. Then came the curiosity to
know each others looks. Here photog-
raphy came to the ard OF telegraphy.
Photographs were exchanged with mu.
tual satisfaction, and in due time the
happy pair became man and wife. 1t is
said that people can learn more about
those with whom they are in the habit
OF exchanging kilograms than would
naturally be supposed. Experts can
even tell the handwriting of the oper-
ator at the other end of the line. IS
A new and remarkable invention is,
however, now announced, which one
would imagine will altogether supersede
ordinary telegraphy, at least III love
making. The tones of the voice can now
be conveyed on wires to a great dis.
tance, and parties can converse with
each other in perfect assurance of iden-
tity.
Atone end Of the line 's a trumpet

REMARKABLE PREoocIrv.-The late
Bishop Thiriwsll, OF England, Is said by
writer in Lippineott's Magazine to have
been an example of precocity almost
without . parallel. "At three years old
he read English so well that he was
taught Latin, and at four be read Greek
with an case aud tluency that sstonished
all who heard him." A volume contain
ing specimens OF his works, produced
.efore he was eleven years of age, was
collected and published by his father.

The Out Door Meeting.

Our reporter inadvertently omitted to
mention the out door meeting held during
the republican rally on Friday night. A.
ter the arrival of the train from Fairhaven
it seemed to be necessary to organize a
meeting out of doors, 30 great was the
crowd that all could not gain admission to
the hall. Hon. George H. Bigelow of
Burlington, was invited to address the
gathering, and accepted. George E. Law
renee, ESQ.,, president of the Young mems
Hayes and Wheeler club, introduced him,
from the steps of the Bardwell house. Mr..
Bigelow made an earnest and vigorous
speech upon some of the issues of the
compaign, earnestly urging every repub-
lican to do his duty at the polls at the fall
elections. The address was well received,
and was heartily appauded.

The Vermont Reform School.

The Vermont reform school seems to
have fallen into the midst of the right
community when it was removed to Ver-
gennes. The people of that enterprising
city give the superintendent the right hand
of fellowship and work with him in his
efforts to reform those who ore committed
by the state to his guardianship. They
engage in the Sunday school work earnestly
and carry forward what Mr.. Fairbanks and
his assistants had laid the foundation for
The pupils are led on by discriminating
questions 30 as to strengthen their reason
ing faculties and learning them self reliance.
The scholars number over hundred boys
aud few girls. They are led in singing
and accompany with full chorus of
voices. The school is surrounded by beau
tiful scenery, which draws the mind to a
consideration of God and his works. A
good work is being done at the Vermont
reform school.

The rifle shoot of the Burlington rife
club, on their grounds at Appletree Point,
Tuesday, was witnessed by large assem-
blage, a large portion of the interest arising
from the fact that Col. II. A. Gildersleeve,

to come to Burlington on Saturday next

The Servian Manifesto.

WAsnNoTos, Aug. 20.
Arstarche Bey, the Turkish minister, has
received the official declaration of his gov
eminent dated Constaniinople 10Th, giving
history Of the commencement of hostli-
ties with Setvia and Montenegro il sets
forth the concessions made to Servia under
the treaty of Paris and speaks of the efforts
of the porte TO aid in developing the pros
perity of the principally; the strife 1t says
was caused by few restless and ambitious
men who sacrificed to vain popularity the
true interests of the country and from the
beginning Of the insurrection in Herzego-
vania have by evory means in their power
aided the insurgents notwithstanding
their disloyal attitude the greatest
forbolrance has been shown to them
by the porte, and, taking advantage of its
pacific disposition, they prepared to take
active part in the instruction. Finally
affairs reached such point that the impe-
rial government was compelled 10 formally
ask the Belgrade authorities to explain the
reason for the concentration of the Servian
troops near Turkish villages. Prince Mi
Ian, in reply, charged the responsibility of
the military measures upon the porte, and
addressed letter asking that his
troops be allowed to assist III the pacif-
cation of Bosnia, concluding by declaring
war in case of refusal. He resolved to
act accordingly. In the meantime the
agent at Constantinople requested that Ser
Wis be given the administration of Bosnia,
on condition of paying the annual tribute.
Without awaiting reply the Servians in
vaded the Turkish provinces and the prince
of Montenegro also declared hostilites.-
The porte was therefore compelled to repel
aggression by force, and thus commenced
war. The declaration then goes on to state
how the porte had relgiously adhered to
the treaty of Paris, and places on the prov
inces of Servia and Montenegro the onus of
breaking the treaty slipulatons.
The document crncludes as follows
Trusting in the justice of our cause, all our
efforts shall tend toward vigorous prose-
cution of the struggle waged against US,
and try to bring it to a speedy close. BY
this means we shall be able to execute
sooner the reforms and improvements
which our august sovereign has firm will
to introduce in the empire, and while it
shall give to our population the material
and moral comforts they have a right to
expect from the government of his majesty
the sultan.
