In the matter of the clot ure contest in
tho British parliament, speaking of Mr..
GlApsrogE's measure, the GLOBE. Democrat
sayp; "In his effort to prevent an abuse OF
the rights of the minority the premier has
provided in his bill that simple majority
vote shall only prevail on questions OF
closing debate when 1t is 40 and upwards,
unless the minority vote tails below 40, and
that no majority vote whatever OF less than
100 shall prevail, provided any member
protests. The considerations which led to
these provisions are of the most Just char.
actor, They are to prevent any undue nd.
vantage being taken OF very thin house,
Tho absentees In the commons are gcner.
ally more numerous than those in at.
tendance. But II will DO found on anal.
ysis that those conditions present the
possibility Of many situations incon.
sistcnt with the main idea that the major.
ity shall rule; and the quibblcrs pounce
uron these, however improbable thew may
be. In order to turn Mr., GLApsroSE's guns
against his own measure. They claim II to
DO ridiculous that one man should, by com.
ing In aud adding himself to q minority OF
30, be enabled to defeat majority OF 100
This isa curious position certainly, and
there are others similar 10 II; but the con-
servatiycs are not sincere In their bringing
forward such arguments, since they are in-
troduccd solely for the purpose of rendering
tho measure they oppose less sweeping, and
this they do. ltwould require very little
whipping In TO secure house full enough
TO lin II above the action of amy OF these
modifying clauses. Parliament will adjourn
when the cloturc has been provided for.
Al the next session the extension Of the
county franchise, which has been so long
promised, will doubtless DO effected and the
ballot given to half million agricultural
laborcrs. What may come amer this 10 a
picture too horrible In Tory eyes for sober
contemplation"

their fate, and as the black cap was placed
over Milton Hodges face, he sang a verse
of "Going Home on de Evening Train" and
Sam was singing Going Home to Die

sister. They had arrested him, tied his
hand and then Milton shot him.

"A SHOCKING OCCURRENCES.
The Trouble Caused by the Little Screw of
an Electric Lamp


A gentleman leaning against one of the
iron pillars in boomers cafe on Saturday
evening was observed 10 pitch suddenly for
ward and nearly fall ON the marble floor.
He turned very pale, and looked about him
TO see whether his involuntary action had
been noticed. 1t did not appear to have
been, and he walked back to the pillar and
examined it carefully. Then he walked
around il and looked up to the ceiling, He
looked at the floor, and then to satisfy him
self whether the post had moved from its
place and kicked him, he pressed hard
against it with the palm of his hand.
In another instant the gentleman was
sprawling on the floor. He got up. and.
finding that he was beginning to attract
attention, he walked Jack and sought Mr.,
Dooner. IT'S this place haunted?' he asked,
or have YOU familiar spirit which knocks
people DOWN" Then he explained what
had taken place. Nonsense" said Mr..
Dooner, "show me the post and I'll hug it
II you say So" Mr.. DOoner was shown the
post, and he put his arms around it. But
it was not far long. In less than two sec
onds Mr., DoOner was where his guest had
been few minutes before. At the same
time howl OF rage was heard in the bar
room. Mr. Dooner ran back. A man was
standing there with Il half.emptied glass of
wine in his hand. "Whet does this meanPn
he demanded, 81 attempted TO take a drink
and shock went through me like gal

rupted by another man who entered sud
denly, with yell and u muttered impreca.
ton, What's the matter here?n he asked.
rather angrily, 81 put my hand on an iron
post out there" pointing TO the cafe, "and
believe I'm paralyzed."
By this time group of excited men had
gathered around :" he place is bewtched, !"
said one, "or has been magnetized," VEN

Captain Martin Van Buren, Bate
who lives on a farm near Seville, Ohio,
is 7 feet III inches high, and weighs
47S pounds. Mrs. Bates is Z feet II
inches high and weighs Alb pounds. 1t
is a difficult matter to convey an ad-
equate idea Of the proportions of such a
dwelling as the one occupied by the
Ohio giants. A door that is six feet
six inches high is a large-sized opening
in the side of Il house-that is, n dwell
ing house, not a cathedral. But the
doors in the domicle of the Bates giants
are ten feet high, and the knobs are
nearly a high as the reporters head.
The couch upon which the big couple
sleep was made especially for them, and
1t is II curiosity to look at. 1t is extern
siye enough TO give the great people
room to stretch in and 1t looks ms big as
an ordinary-sized floor. 1t is really ten
feet long, wide in proportion, and about
twice as high n common bed. The mag
nihcent drcBsing-case is also a huge af-
fair, with Il glass upon it nearly as big
as the side Of Il house. In the sitting.
room is a piano Of ordinary size itself,
but 1t is mounted on blocks two feet
high, so that the instrument is away up
in the air, out OF the reach OF common
fSlks. There are two rocking-chairs in
this room that are so big that the re
porter had to climb up into one of them
the same as an infant would Chamber VI
into a thigh CHAIR" 1t is very expeu
sive for the giants to live, as they have
to pay such an %exorbitant price fol
everything they wear. For instance,
it costs the captain $50 for a pair OF
boots.
