Mr. Gladstone's references to Irish Home Rule
nj the Lord Mayors dinner are only iepetitOns
OF previous utterances ana not anything of
startling novelty He has long maintained that
England would always entertain in a friendly
spirit any demand in this direction SO long as
British supremacy and the authority of the
Crown were recognized. The question ofcOm-
plete independence, however, will never be re-
ceived until Ireland is as far away fro IN British
shores as many Englishmen wish it was now.
Irish 1ev0utionlsts, therefore, will always
think they have good reason for being
The note of the Khedive's Government de-
claring the abolition of the Control is an i'm
portant step in the settlement of the Egyp-
tan question. 1t is a judciOus change. The
dual political Control was a NEST mschievous
contrivance, and Mr.. Gladstone has never de-
Tended it. On the contrary he has confessed
that his embarrassments in the earlier stages
OF the Egyptian trouble were caused by it.
France is now lett out OF this politicO- financial
arrangement, and some substitute, either Eng
lish OF European, must be devised for it, If the
bondholders' interests suffer it is not a matter
OF much importance. The war was not waeed
for them. Moreover. the Control as first or
ganized would be no guarantee to the bond
holders to-day.
The friends of Mr.. Cooper, who were so anx-
ious to shut him up as a lunatic, seem to have
had good deal of cause for irritation; but
thus far they have not made out strong case
OF insanity. According to the latest testimony.
when an asylum was proposed to Mr.. Cooper
and the inevitable results of his extravaganza
were pointed out he became melancholy and
economical. In the eyes of most persons this
would be considered as an indication of repent
ance and IeiCrm rather than of !unacy. man
might also ridicule the tailoring business and
not be quite mad and he light even speculate
in real estate aud not be entirely out of his

How "a New Jersey Farmer is En-
abled TO Enjoy the Fruit ut Dinner
Every DIV.

New York World, Jan. %.
The family OF Peter Matson, living near Bur-
lington, N. j., eat watermelons for dinner every
day, and expect TO do so all winter. Matson
laid away $50 melons during the season, pre-
serving them by n process which he processes
to have invented. He vanished each melon
all over and then sealed up the STEM. Not
long ago he invited number OF his friends
to dinner and brought out three large water
melons for desert. His guests all united in
saying that they never tasted moro delicious
melons even I'm the regular season. Tho news
OF Matson's preserving powers reached n
large fruit dealer in Philadelphia, and rep
resentative of the dealer went TO Burlington
and requested the privilege Of tasting some
of the fruit. He pronounced them delicious
and at once negotiated for fifty of the melons.
Matson hesitated some time, but has at last
concluded to part with a portion OF his stock,
as the price offered was very large. They are
to be placed on sale at fabulous prices in Phil
adelphia In o few days. The dealer wants
Matson to preserve several thousand for him
next summer or else sell him his process.
Local physicians declare that tho varnish
used to prevent the melons from spelling is
sufficient to have poisoned all those who have
partaken Of them, yet the members Of the
family never enjoyed better health.

The Senate Judiciary Committee have
agreed on bill designed for the suppression
of polygamy. Its main features are sections
(based on Mr.. Edmund's billy doing away
with the present requirement for proofs of
polygamous marriages, by providing that
the fact of living in bigamous relations
shall be sufficient evidence for conviction,
and that in prosecutions for bgamy any
person drawn as q juryman may be chal-
lenged on the ground that he practices or
believes in polygamy as religious rite,

Senator Logan, dcbarring all polygamists
from the privilege Of voting, services on

At 1890 o'clock on Saturday tho House
Committee on Territories will meet in
special session to hear the delegation which
arrived last night from Dakota. The Hon.
A. G. Mellette, register of the United
States land office at Watertown, and other
gentlemen will address the meeting on the
subjects of division and admission of certain
portions of the Territory. Mr.. Mellette
heads the Central Dakota delegation, is a
gentleman of extensive knowledge in
Dakota affairs, and will, no doubt, lay the
matter before the committee in that very
plausible light which he is capable Of. He
has many friends here and will do yoeman
service for the people he represents.
This morning Gen. Hunton and Messrs.
Birney and Riddle appeared before the
House District Committee and discussed
the question of riparian rights along the
Potomac river front. Gen. Hunton, rep
rsenting the alleged owners of Kidwells
bottoms, argued that the flats could be i'm
proved without encroaching upon the
bottoms, and maintained that their
claimants had patent to that section of
the flats. Messrs. Birney and Riddle main
tained that the flats, embracing space of
ten square miles, was ceded to the United
States by the States of Maryland and Vir-
| ginia and under that transaction if any
| patent was granted to squatters it was
| Illegally done. The matter was held un-
| der advisement.

six miles, with constant railroad commune
cation, surrounded by healthful and
beautiful country, it offers many attrac-

their families the benefits of country resi-
dence. To render some of its most delight
full situations more available to the public,

His Relations TO the Methodist Epis-
cOpal Church-ReasOns for Con-
senting to Preach in u COngrega-
tionai Pulpit.
N. Y. Evening Post.
The Rev. DIR. John P. Newman was asked
whether or not he intended to leave the
Methodist Episcopal body upon taking
charge of the Madison-avenue Congrega-
tional Church. DR.. Newman said "There is
no reason why should leave the Metho-
dist Episcopal communion because l choose
to preach in Congregational church.
have not yet left the Methodist Church, and
do not know that anything of the kind
will happen. This is an age of broad
catholicity, am thankful to say and the
lines which were once strictly drawn in
such matters are disappearing. preached
for several months in DIR. Cuyler's pulpit
in Brooklyn last year, and there is no rea-
son why should not preach in the Madi-
son-avenue Congregational Church now.
The history of my present engagement may
be summed up very briefly Last winter /
was appointed delegate to the Methodist
Ecumenical Council, which met in London
last summer, and when the four months
which l devoted to that were ended,
found myself without pulpit and at lib
erty to accept invitations to preach. In
the meantime / have been writing little,
and have nearly finished book of which
l have great hopes, but concerning which
am not at liberty to speak further. The
Madison-avenue Congregational Church is
without a pastor, and l am without a pull
pit. l was invited to preach there for a
while-no settled period of time has been
fixed upon, perhaps three or four months
and / have consented. Nothing has been
settled about my becoming the permanent
pastor of the church. Now you have the
whole story"
"Suppose," asked the reporter, "you
were to become the regular pastor of the
church; would that necesstate your with
drawal from the Methodist Episcopal
body?"
"That depends upon circumstances. A
Congregational church is almost an indie
pendent body. 1 would prefer to leave
that question untouched for the present.
If l should be called to the permanent pas
torate of the church and should accept,
then it will be time enough to talk about
my leaving the Methodist body.
My first sermon will be preached in the
Madison-avenue Church week from to-
morrow. shall preach twice day, morn
ing and evening, so long as l occupy the
pulpit. During this month l intend to
begin series of lectures upon the Mon
umental Evidences of Christianity using
material which l gathered when l was in
Europe last summer. There will be about
ten lectures in all, beginning with the
ancient Biblical manuscripts and closing
with a criticism of the agnostics of to-day.
| The series will include an account of the
new light thrown upon the Scriptures by
recent archaeological discoveries in many
fields, but chiefly in Egypt. Archaeology
has always been one of my favorite studies,
and hope to have time and strength to
work in this field, which grows more and
more important every year.

The Alleged straw bond Cases.

The third week of the hearing In the
alleged straw bond cases commenced to-day
in the Police Court before Judge Smell. Col.
Bliss was not present. Billy Cook stood at
the helm in his absence, and appeared to be
as we'll pleased as school boy with big
hunk ofpie in one hand and baseball in
the other.
Billy, in solemn tones, announced that
the prosecution was ready to proceed with
the hearing. He then called TO the stand
Col. John T. Hazelrigg, of West Liberty
Morgan County, Kentucky. This witness
identified diagram of a tract of land in
Morgan County, Kentucky, said to have
been conveyed to Capt. Cabell by certain
parties in that county. Assuming that the
title be good the property, in witness
opinion, was worth about $3.50 per acre.
VIM. A. Maxey, clerk of the Morgan
County court, identified the diagram as the
one drawn by himself.
