OUR LONDON LETTER.

LONDON. ENGLAND Nav Olaf 49,

LONDON, ENGLAND, May Dist, 1880.
Although the Queen herself was absent
from the ceremony Queens weather shone
upon the re-opening of parliament yesterday.
crowd of idlers assembled early, prepared
to cheer such celebrities as might be known
TO them by sight Like most crowds their
knowledge was not exact, and their favor
was occasionally shown in doubtful if not in
wrong directions. Sometimes they mistook
nonentities for celebrities, and suffered
famous men to go by unnotlced Messrs.
Chamberlin, Chaplin and Stansfield walked
to the house unrecognized Sir Stafford
Northcote, Lord John Manners Sir Richard
Cross, Lord Norton, Mr. Mark Stewart, Sir
William Hart Dyke and Mr.. Dodson were not
greeted by the popular voice On the other
hand, Lord Harrington was vigorously
cheered, Mr.. Bright received the need of
popular favor, as also, it is scarcely necessa-
ry to add, did Mr. Gladstone The crowd
had waited patiently from high noon till four
o clock to see the Premier pass At length
the rumor, blown no one knew exactly
whence, arrived that Mr. Gladstone would
walk from Downing street to the house at a
quarter past four o'clock Soon the news
spread, no one knew how, and the crowd
visibly increased until dense mass of people
covered the footway in front Of Westminster
Hall and the outer sides of the enclosure.
Exactly at twenty-six minutes past four
o'clock noise of cheering was heard in the
distance and outside the gates, where Inspec-
tor Cunning stood on duty, and the crowd,
with an impulse of curiosity. surged in that
direction. Hats were waved in the air and
voices raised in congratulation, as Mr. Glad
stone, leaning upon the arm of his son, Mr..
Herbert Gladstone, made his way across the
yard in the midst of the jubilant populace.
The Premier came hurriedly along, looking
pale but pleased, raising his hat to right and
left. Two great green leaves of lily of the
valley, and bunch Of the white blossoms of
that plant, were set jauntily in the left lapel
of the right honorable gentleman's coat, and
as he reached the pointed archway which
leads to the members entrance, beyond
which the crowd might not intrude, the chos-
en- of the people turned and made obeisance
to his clients and followers.
BY five o'clock in the afternoon a crowd
Of peeresses and strangers had been accommo-
dated in the galleries, looking upon house
fairly well filled. Lord Beaconsfeld, in the
old attitude with his arms crossed, occupied
the center of the front ministerial bench.

SOMERS.

Still it rains More, it pours! Thun-
der, rain and wind, with hail-storms,
have been frequent the past two
weeks. The amount of rain that has
fallen exceeds that OF any season re-
membered since 1851. A shower yes
terday morning gave us little over
two inches, others from one-Quarter to
one and three-quarter inches; the re-
sult-land is overlooked, small lakes
appear among crops, hollows cause
torrents to flow, brooks become rivers,
and the latter are bank full and over.
Corn cultivating had to be deferred
until the latter days of last week on
account Of the wet weather.
The weather, which had been cool,
changed to intense heat last week.
On Thursday and Friday thermome-
tiers registered ninety-two to nlnety-six
degrees in the shade. In exceptional
cases one hundred was reached. -
Sheep shearing has commenced.
Unless sheltered, sheep are too wet to
shear most of the time.
Highway repairs have been inter.
fered with by the wet, and travelling
made bad where work has been done.
Crops of all kinds, on the whole, so
far, promising,
Last week quite a number Of citiz-
ems visited Milwaukee and the Sol

over, trains have passed over our Rail-

son of Prince Leopold, of England,
and his sister, the Marchioness of

a mile minute or little less. At
the depot and crossings folks congre-
gated to see the trains if not the per-
sons.
Charles Whitcomb's wife has arrived
from Chicago, and they are stopping
at L. Cooks, at the station.
Miss Belle Spence returned from
Chicago, accompanied by her sister,
Mrs. Mary Booth, of Connecticut, who
has come to visit her parents and
other relatives. Their brother George
also came last week from Iowa, to at
tend the Soldiers Reunion, and visit his
relatives.
Sandy Spence arrived at his fathers
last week; went to Milwaukee to at
tend the Reunion, and is visiting re-
latives here and at Mansion,
Station agent Thompson has had a
vacation. In the meantime Frazier
Petrie attendedl to the duties of the
office
Rev. Benjamin has returned from
Dakota, and preached to his congrega-
ton, as usual, on yesterday.
Minnie Dougherty has returned
home from Darien.
What is the price Of wood going to
be? is a question of interest to many
just now.
Hughes Bros. have purchased con-
siderable hay; price paid, nine and
one-half dollars per ton for No. tim
othy.
Strawberrieslare ripening unusually
early. Quite number of crates were
picked and marketed last'week.
The nomination Of Garfield at Chi
cago is universally approved of by
Republicans. Some Grant and Blaine
men were trifle disappointed.

your questions? I do not like his
style. He gives his opinions in a very
dogmatic manner, but gives no reasons
to sustain them. He says the word

Every grammar that [ have ever
studied says that it is relative.
Greene says it is relative when the
words that a0hich or the things aohtch
can be substituted for it. Will x. Y.
