ParneII Depouncing The British Coy
ernment.

LONDON, February 2l.-Mr. Parnel,
speaking at Clara, Kings county, yester-
day, vigorously denounced The Government
for introducing the coercion bill, and
charged the ministers with trying TO inimi-
date the nation and with a deliberate con-
.piracy 10 prevent him from exercising his
constitutional right Of speaking in Parlia-
ment. II the tenants, he said, would con-
tinue to refuse 10 pay unjust rents he and
his colleagues would willingly 20 TO prison
for their sakes. In ease Of threatened eyie-
ton, he advised the neighboring tenants 10
plough up the land in order TO prevent the
landlords from grazing their cattle thereon.
The tenants, he asserted, might accept the
land bill so far as il would enable them bet
ter to continue their struggle against land
lordism.
The House OF Commons is exceedingly
crowded this afternoon. Notice was given
Of question to be put tomorrow whether
Mr.. Parnells speech at Clara yesterday,
spt ci,lly the passage relative TO "plough-
ing up the land" was not an Indictment TO
punishable offences. The notice was re-
ceived with cheers.

Depulie, this afternoon Premier Ferry, re-
plying to VI. De YES (Republicln), said that
neither the War Minister nor the Govern

The Champion Egg sucker.

LOulsNille GOst.
Last night Lew King, who is well known
in the city, made his appearance at the sa-
loon of Dick Tabb, corner of Preston and
Kentucky streets, and the egg question
being raised King offered to bet that he
could get away with three dozen eggs
within ten minutes. The bet was taken by
one present, and the eggs purchased. King,
as the eggs were handed to him, broke the
shells sucked the contents, and in less than
five minutes the three dozen were gone.
This astonished the crowd, but it did not
in the least discomfort King who, in addi-
tion to the three dozen eggs sucked, offered
to bet two to one that he could make way
with another three dozen if they could be
furnished him. The other party declined
to accept the bet. Being satisfied that
King would come ont first side up, they
declined to furnish the second three dozen.
Mr.. King says that he could have devOured
two or three dozen more of eggs, and defes
any one to furnish more eggs than he can
get away WITH as he thinks it will break
any man who will pay for the same, even
If he has the wealth of Vanderbilt. He
even, after getting away with the three
dozen eggs, asked for can of raw oysters.
If there is any one who can beat this he is
invited to come to the front

Sunset Among the Mountains.

The purple mountains In the distance lie,
Wrapped in their stately grandeur,
hushed and deep;
Along their ragged SUBMITS slowly
Bright streams of golden light. Tho even
ing sky
Is flooded with II beauty not of earth.
Der all reigns silence, solemn and pro-
found,
That awes the soul ; and yet this lack of
sound
Unto IL sense of deepest peace gives birth.
An inward feeling strives to speak what
tongue
And moving lips cannot express. The
In rapture gaze. From hidden chords
arise
Those strains that pcnsive harmony hath

The sun sinks low beyond the peaks afar;
Days glory fades, while twilight spreads
the west
With soothing shades and influences OF

And peaceful Heaven lights her evening
star.

what Industry and Enterprise Do

Washington possesses no more energetic
and thriving young business man than Mr.
Sidney T. Nimmo, whose piano and musical
establishment, 433 Seventh street north
west, has become so famous. Mr.. Nimmo
started into business, beginning at the bot
tom round of the ladder. Within two years.
however, by dint of enterprise and indus
try, he has placed himself at the head of
one of the largest piano establishments in
the District. Mr.. Nimmo owes part of
his success to the introduction of the cele-
brated Heinekamp piano and Shoninger
organ into the local trade.
