DEPRECATEs THE IDEA OF MARTIAL LAW
Cork, May S.-The Herald deprecates
the idea of martial law in view of the
tremendous manifestations of public
feeling in Ireland, showing that there
is absolutely no sympathy for the assas
sins.

LONDON, May S.-The st. James Ga

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LONDON, May S.-Every part of the
house of commons at the opening SEES
sion was crowded this afternoon.
at 4 30 Gladstone arose, and with
great emotion and tremulous voice
moved an adjournment of the house.
He said the blackness of the crime and
the horror it excited throughout the en-
tire kingdom were unparalleled. In
the murder of Burke be said they had
been robbed of one of the brightest
ablest and most upright members of the
civil service, but the hand of the assas-
sin had come nearer home and one of the
noblest of hearts had ceased to beat
while full of hope and love for Ireland.
As far as the government was concerned
all previous arrangements must be re-
cast. On Thursday next he (Gladstone)
would ask the house for leave to intro
duce a measure for the repression of
crime in Ireland. He believed he would
be assisted from all quarters of the
house. On an early day he would in
troduce a measure dealing with the ar
rears of rent.
Sir Stafford Eorthcote seconded the
motion of Gladstone for adjournment
He promised that the opposition would
support the government in the measure
for the repression of crime. He consid
cred the occasion too sad for more than
a passing tribute of respect TO the dead.
Parnell expressed detestation for all
the Irishmen engaged in the crime. He
said he believed it was committed in or

izclpinG q Constable

One day Michigan constable who
had long been trying to collect claim
of $40 against a sharp citizen, went to a
worthy burgher and said:
d" See here, Jones, Eve got a plan to
collect $40 of that sharper Perkins.
All want is a little help from you, and
if you'll grant it won't forget the
favor"
"Tm willing-what's your plan ?''
replied Jones.
Why, I want you to bet him $50
that he dosen't weigh 1870 pounds. If
you'll do that l can fix the rest"
"Oh I'll do anything to help you
out" said Jones, and the two walked
around to the grocery where Perkins
was known to hang out. After little
talk, the constable keeping in the shade,
Jones began blufling, and when lie
stated his fiendish desire to bet $50
that Perkins wouldn't tip the beam at
1870 his greenbacks were covered before
a mule could kick three times. AS the
money was put up the constable slipped
out for a garnishee, and was back in time
to serve it on the stakeholder Perkins
weighed 14S pounds, and the $40 in the
hands Of the stakeholder evidently paid
claim against him, but it has never
yet been made plain to Jones how he
ever made anything out of it. 1t has
always seemed to him that he was $40
out, and for fifteen long years he has
refused to walk on the same side of the
street with that constable. - Detroit

inpac2&2nt Experience in 4 EENzei.
A middle aged Irish lady, almost as
bread as she was long, boarded an out
bound passenger train the other even
ing with the intention Of taking a
trip to one of the numerous towns that
took seat, as WAS quite natural. and
owing to her 'largeneSs'' she was al
lowed to occupy it alone. Just as the
train was on the eve of entering the
tunnel Mrs. Murphy obtained Whit of
the tunnel gas that leaked into the car
through a defective ventIator directly
over her head. AS she had never
breathed anything that reminded her
of gas before, she became greatly
alarmed, and began to exclaim frantic
ally, " Murther murther. am kilt :"
AS the gas dent take the hint and
vanish Immediately, she threw up one
Of the car windows, hoping by that
stratagem to procure supply Of fresh
air. In moment the car filed with
smoke and gas and came very near
smothering every person in it. She
couldn't understand where the smoke
came from, and yelled, "Fire fire
murther! we're all kilt For Gods
sake, help! Don't let me burn up"
BY this time the passengers were cough
ing sp2smodically and tumbling over
each other as they rushed to the car
doors in a ludicorous manner. The car
doors were locked, and they found
themselves in a helpless condition. The
old lady tainted, while other passengers
yelled for help and carried on like mad
men. By the time they reached the
end of the tunnel they were exhausted
and almost suffocated. The old lady
recovered and told the conductor that
she thought she was "kilt,' adding
that she would never travel through an
underground gas works again, not for
anything.-,S. Louis Republican.

Sergeant Mason.

WAsHINGTON,M March 29.-It is pretty
we'll understood that one of the princi-
pal points upon which the Judge Advo-
cate General bases his opinion in the
Mason case is that the charge Of assault
to Kill! WAS not fully established by the
evidence presented. Another point said
to have been raised by General Swain
is that v assn was not arrai ned on the
proper charge, as his most serious Of
Tense, from military point of view,
was seditious conduct under circum-
stances that might have resulted in
mutiny among the soldiers serving
with him at the time. The approval Of
the report by the President would re-
suit in the discharge Of Mason from
custody and render him exempt from
further proceeding on the part of the
military authorities for the same Of
fense.
The Illinois State Senate yesterday
adopted a resolution asking the Presi
dent to pardon Mason.

Fooled.

If the stories told by the various wit
nesses in the libel suit Of the Rev. Mr..
Human against Bishop Hare, now on
trial in New York, are true, some of
the missionaries laboring among the
Indians are not of the right kind or
spirit to teach the redskins morality or
religion. The Rev. H. III. Brooks, of
the White Swan Mission, near Fort
Randall, an Englishman by birth, ac-
knowledged that he had been i'm
prisoned in the County Jail for seven
months. He denied long list of
charges alleged against his character,
but acknowledged that he had been in
discreet to this extent "When I was
employed in missionary work in Cali
fornia by Bishop Kip" he said, II was
fool enough to answer a personal in a
San Francisco newspaper, which read
something like this:
An Episcopal lady desires correspond
ence with some young gentleman.
81 bit at it like a fool, and wrote a
letter to the address given in the adver-
tisement a gent called on me with
the letter, and told me it would take
5000 to keep it quiet. l paid the
money. The next time be came after
some money l choked him and got
back the 5000. never saw any woman
in the affair."

Red Tape.

WASHINGTON, March %. - Certain
settlers at Janiau, Alaska, having made
application to the Secretary of the
Treasury for arms to protect themselves
against the natives, the request was re-
ferred to the Secretary Of War. 1t was
found that arms could be supplied only
if it appeared that they were needed for
the protection of Government property.
The postoffice at Janiau is the only Gov
eminent property at that place, and
Acting POstmaster-General Hatton has
accordingly made application for arms
to be used in the protection of the
Postoffice, so as to enable the inhabi-
tants of the town to defend themselves.

For some weeks past committee of
the First Congregational Church Of San
Francisco, has been engaged with its
pastor, Rev. c. ID. BarrOws, in making
certain changes and notifications Of its
creed, or confession of faith. These
changes are now complete, and have
been adopted by the church, almost
without a dissenting voice. From a
comparison of the old creed with the
new, it is plainly to be seen that these
changes are Of an important character ;
not mere alterations in phrase ology, but
changes involving great dOctrinal mOdi-
fications, and in several cases omissions
of entire articles, which, in the aggre-
gate, amount to new departure. The
matter has been the theme of much
discussion for seme days in theological
circles, and some have expressed fear
that these changes would not only prove
injurious to Cengregationalism, but to
the interests of evangelical religion gen
orally upon this coast.

Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in just now as to the course
President Arthur will pursue on the
Chinese bill. The Chief Magistrate is
besieged with protests in the East
against the endorsement of the bill,
based on violation of treaty stipula-
tons and " the fatherhood of God and
brotherhood of man." OF the treaty
portion the President and Cabinet are
doubtless competent to judge, while the
answer to the humanitarian phase of
the question it would seem had already
been settled by Congress in the p ssage
of the bill. There can be no doubt
after the able manner in which the
subject of Chinese immigration has
been presented, that the President
fully recognizes its injurious effects,
and consequently the only point to be
alarmed about is that in relation to- the
treaty. Of the members of the Cabinet
the AttOrneV-General ana secretary OF
State naturally have, in matters of in
ternational import, great influence.
1t is believed that the opinions Of
these officers tend against the measure,
and in this have we fear of the result.
Notwithstanding, we will continus to
hope and pray, etc.

Reducing the Surplus.

Washington, 21.-When senators and
congressman from the west, from time to
tine. proposed 10 reduce the cash reserve
in the treasury, the conservatives OF the
east invariably raised q cry that the pub
lie credit was being attacked. It is an
interesting fact that the present secretary
OF the treasury, Who is not only a New
Yorker, but whe derived most OF his ID
SEPARATION from the bulls Of Wall street,
has been reducing the surplus st the rae
that would have raised the hair on the
heads of New York bankers had it been
done by 8 western man, with a touch OF
faiism about him. GilflIian's annual
repoyt, on November Let, showed the re-
serve was S135. 600, 900, and that it had
been reduced over $l1, 600, 600 since Oe-
tober LIST, by bond redemptiens. Tbs
surDlus now is only SI23. GOO, 900, having
been reduced $l2, geo, 600 in the course Of
ssven weeks. As 0 result of Secretary
Folper's ambition to pay of more debt
than any Of his predecessors, the surplu;
has been cut Down S23. 100000 in lest
than fifteen monthe, and is now lowel
than at any previous date since JOhr
Sherman built it up to sustain green backs
at par after the resumption OF specie pay
ment. Not only is this true. but ther'
are $33, 600, 600 called bonds not yet re
deemed, which will msture and most o
which have been paid within two months
There are no reasons 10 suppose that To-
excess of receipts over expenditures WI

One of the lively places at Christ
mas time is the TEAPOT Store,
where the enterprising Culmer
Brothers always have fine show
ing Of the goodies that belong to
the season. These young men laid
themselves out this year for an
enormous business in wholesale con-
fectionery, which is a speciality with
them and their importatfons this
fall have amounted to many thou
sand pounds. They have done a
larger wholesale business in this
line than ever before; but still have
great quantity of Christmas candies
left which must be disposed of this
time or be carried over. Rather
than this shall occur, they are run
ming them into the retail depart
ment and closing them out st low

selling first class candies at moder-
ate prices and the people appear to
appreciate the chance, for they had
run on their stock laStnight which
will soon clear them out if it con,

Bros. have a goodly line OF vases,
toys, ETC., which have all got to 20
before January 1st. as they take
stock on that date and do not pro-
pose to have to count all these
things up, iflow prices will get them
out of the way. Everything in
fancy goods goes in the same
manner, besides nuts, prize
boxes and q longer list of
fancy articles than we have room to
enumerate. This concern also does
one of the largest trades in retail
groceries, and are well provided for
the season with cleaned and
stemmed raisins and curFants, peels,
spices, and everything Of this kind
that an ambitious housewife could
wish. The manufacture Of walnut
and nickle.plated showcases also
occupies a great deal of their atten-
ton, and they have on exhibition at
their Ware-rooms over a hundred
different shapes, kinds and sizes.
