Bradlaugh'S Defiance.

| l-ONioN, NuSdS g. iiSiS "ao 'iil
extraordinary scene about the House
of Parliament this morning when Char
les Bradlaugh, the twice elected mer,-
Der from Northampton, and twice re-
fused his seat, carried out his threat to
attempt to gain entrance by physical
force. intending to demand that the
speaker should administer the oath to
him. His cab drove to the entrance
of New Palace Yard and he descended,
a tall and powerful form towering above
the crowd, plainly dressed and carry
ing stout oaken staff. Hewa cheer
ed by the crowd and met at the en-
trance ofWestminister Hall by Henry
Laboucherc, fellow member from
Northampton. They passed arm in
arm through the hall and up the grand
staircase, where they waited for mes
sanger to announce the House in sess.
ion. Bradlaugh then passed through
the Stephens gallery and attempted to
enter the lobby. The Rt. Hon. DR..
Lyon Playfair, deputy speaker, met
hlm with full line of police, and the
ushers and police closed behind him
as Playfair forbade him to enter. He
hesitated an instant then suddenly
sprang forward, seized the nearest uSh-
er, threw him aside, and using all his
enormous strength, tried to force an
entrance. For a moment it seemed as
if he would succeed and enter the
House, but the police fell upon him in
a body and after violent strugglesuc-
ceeded in pushing him step by step
through the gallery and out upon the
stone platform of Westminster hall,
from whence he was still further thrust
into the yard below. Bradlaugh was
ghastly pale, but full of fight, and con-
tended for every inch Of ground. At
times he seemed animated with un-
govemable fury, and rushed furiously
upon his antagonists. The crowd
cheered every fresh struggle and enjoy
ed the scene immensely. At the close
Bradlaugh, nearly fainting, his clothing
torn, his ha. gone, and his face livid.
presented terrible spectacle. He
drank glass Of water, which some
what revived him, and then, addressing
the crowd, declared he would return
to the House with sufficient force either
to effect an entrance or compel the
government to arrest him. He then
left the hall, and, entering carriage at
the door, was received with enthusiastic |
cheers by the crowd. 1t is said Brad
laugh will apply tomorrow for sum-
mons against the deputy speaker, the
police and others for assault is resisting
his entrance, During this violent
scene Bradlaugh's two daughters and
his friend, Mrs. Besant, were in West
minister Hail. reading petitions sigaed
by thousands Of Bradlaugh's adherents,
praying for his admission.

One of our commercial exchanges

One of our commercial exchanges
notices that the California or
ange, a fruit that has hitherto played
but small part in the markets of this
latitude. is destined to become better
known through the liberal shipments
that are now being made over the Pa
cific roads. We are told that the two
notably large orange groves from which
this fruit comes are situated in South
ern California, one being near Los
Angels and the other near San Gabriel.
These groves combined occupy space
of about | 900 acres, the trees number
ed by tens of thousands, set in regular
order, producing very beautiful
effect from distance The grove
near Los Angels was started by an
eastern gentleman in 1876, three years
before the gold excitement commenced,
and has been increasing steadily ever
since that period: The fruit is about
ofthe same size and flavor as the Flori-
da orange, and its production in that
region is increasing very rapidly.
Great care is necessary, i. is stated, in
the shipment ofthe fruit, more partic-
ularly that it shall be fresh from the
bough when it stats on its journey, and
that the cars it which ii is carried shall
be properly ventilated.

Having left il at the side of the hole, another
young rat joined the former one, AMI both

They then carried these crumbs to the old one

A story of Bismarck's Youth.

Apropos OF Prince Bismarcks birthday
anniversary, celebrated last Friday, a pleas
ant reminiscence of his youthful DAYS may
not be out of place. Ferty-six wears ago Il
young Swedish nohleman was studying at the
Berlin University. one day he RECEIVED
letter from an uncle in Sweden, whom he
happened never TO have met in person, in
forming him that his first cousin. daughter
OF the relative in question, was about TO pass
through Berlin on her way to the waters At
Ems, and requesting thar he would take
charge of her during her brief soiourn in the
Prussian capital, show her all its most inter-
estiug sights. and finally see her safely start
cd upon her further journey. The Young
lady arrived at Berlin in due course, and was
waited upon at her hotel by a stalwart young
student. who announced himself as her cousin.
and escorted her during the three following
days, to museums, picture galleries, and
forth, with indefatigable courtesy. TN the
fourth day he attended her TO the POST Amt,
whence she was to depart by diligence for
Ems, and, us she was warmly thanking him
for all the attentions inc had shown her, re-
quested her permission, before taking his
leave to make confession of his sins.
Il must no longer. my dear cousin" he
continued, conceal from You that, as a mat
ter of fact, am not your cousin at all. 4
friend of mine, however, has that honor, lie
is undergoing his examinations at college.
and contidcd to me the duty of CARRYING out
your papas wishes. Ny name is Won Bis
marck." This very lady visited Berlin last
year, and took occasion to remind the Chan
celor Of the above incident, reiterating the
expression of her gratitude for his chivalrous
politeness of nearly half century ago. In
terrupting her, with genial smile, Prince
Bismarck observed Pardon me. madam. il
