Thursday, Feb. 8, will long be remembered
by the present members of the British house
of commons, as having witnessed the most ex-
citing session of that august body that has oc-
CURED for many years. An almost continuous
session of two days had been inprogress, owing
to the extreme efforts of the Irish or Home
Rule element to obstruct the passage of the
coercion measures. Finally the speaker took
advantage of an almost unused techDicality of
the rules and 'named John Dillon as defying
the chair and oostructing legislation. A motion
to suspend him was promptly put and carried,
and he was forcibly removed by the sergeant-at-
arms. Soon after, Charles Stewart Parnell, for
similar causes, was "named," suspended and
elected. The same was then applied to Finne-
gan. In all cases the Home Rulers refused to
vote. The speaker had their names taken
down, and the entire number, twenty-seven,
were suspended and elected from the hall OF
the house. The suspension of Dillon was on
motion of Mr.. Gladstone. The expelled men,
bers held a meeting at once and decided to
issue manifesto to the Irish people, denounc-
ing the conduct of the house, but advising the
populace to keep within the lines of constitu-
tional action.

The Pistol in School.

Al Syracuse rather advanced curricu-
lum seeems To have obtained. A gentle
m an residing in that village says that one
of the sweet school girls has been indulg-
ing in little pistol practice, which is not
the least OF her accomplishments acquired
at the public school located in this mod
ern Dionysisn city. She had boy lover
who was also pupil of the institution.
He was not true, however, but wandered
of after strange gods, or rather goddesses.
His affections alighted upon another sweet
school girl. Jealousy, green Of, eye and
dining In knocking manner Of the first
girl, put In an appearance, as usual under
the circumstances. She procured n nasty
pistol, then and there loaded with powder
aud leaden. ball, from male acquaintance.
Ii was her rival that she was after. She
invited the other girl to step out into the
schOol-yard, which invitation vas de-
clined. The infuriated and scorned girl
then told her rival that IL she refused to
obey longer she would send her TO that re-
gion which furnishes its own fires the year
round. Drawing her weapon she assev-
Grated that she believed she would do il
nyhow, and fred full at the hated object
Fortunately the hall went wide of the
mischief il was intended to do. In short
time tbs recreant lover himself showed
his mug in the proximity of the sighted
girl. She concluded that she would give
him whirl also. She shot at him ac-
cordingly, and the bullet barely grazed his
lower maxillary. Thinking that the To-
cality was rather unhealthy just at that
hour OF the day, he ran away.
The affair creates, as it naturally would,
considerable excitement, and the general
opinion seems to be that that girl is dam
gerous when standing behind the festive
pop.
