and unreliable. The English newspapers tho
London Times especially said nothing nbout
tho insurrcction and did not send any cOrre-
spon Tents out. upon tho stupid plea that II
would give too much Importance TO the rebels.
1t turns out however. that the uprising is by
no means M insignificant rs the English news

All talk about tho dissolution Of the British
Parliament seems to be- over. II Is now argued
that there is no reason why 1t should be dis
solved before the close Of its natural term Of
exist.nce--the autumn ~ 1880. No Parliament
OF thus century bas had 40 long life. Only two
Parliamcnts have lived through six years ono
elected in 1920 during Lord Livcrpools admin
lstratlon tho other elected In 1882 under Lord
palmcrston's. The average lifo n modern Brit
ish Pnrliamcnts Ia about three years. Their
legal lease OF existence Is seven years. Tho
present docile Legislative assembly IL five years
old and has consequently two more years 10
live. provided nothing happens. Mr.. Graht-Duh,
however. thinks the chances in favor OF such
long Lease are mcagrc. Speaking recently Mt
Bath he said that Lord Boaconsield had taken
John Bull to Crcmornc. md Tint the old fellow

A rising H,,. has boon discovered In the con-
ISOLATION Of English horse breeders. His name
is Hume Webster and his stud farm IL NJ Mar
den Park, Caterham. He has certainly had
wonderful luck. for while most English breed
from some unaccountahle climatic cause. Mr..
Webster did not sustain any loss at all, and his
stock Of thoroughbred mares Is pronounced
the finest IN the country. Unquestionably the
soil and heritage Of Marden Park have a good
deal To- do with the splendid condition OF tho
stud Mr.. Webster has adopted the system Of
supplying the colts with large quantities Of
cows milk for a considerable time after wean-
ing. He believes that this makes bono and
gives strength to the equine constitution.
