REPORTORIAL ENTERPRISE.
The Anxiety London Journalist Caused
 the Police.

The London Echo newspaper was in London police court as an interested party to one of the most ludicrous cases which ever convulsed Q court. The de- fendant was arranged upon two charges. The first accused him of being "va- grant, without visible means of support, " and the second alleged that there was good cause to suspect that he was also Suspicious character, perhaps Fenian or dynamite conspirator. He had ab. solutely refused to give the police who arrested him any information concerning himself and had declined to give his name. When the Court demanded to know the latter the prisoner said it was Hugh MacLaughlin," and insisted upon being addressed as "Mister, be- cause he was 0 real gentleman. The grave sincerity with which this claim was put forth by the ragged and be- grimed unfortunate made the court roar, and the police significantly alluded to the 'Irishness of the name"
 The testimony against the prisoner was that he had been detected proving about Hanover square and placed under shadow. When he first attracted police attention he was disguised as q match peddler, ill which character he had secured entrance to many of the aristo- cratic residences of that neighborhood. He was subsequently, tracked in move. 
 ments under several other disguises and was finally arrested while tramping around collecting tribute as troubadour with good voice and very bad banjo.
 SECRET MISSION.
 The prisoner listened to the testimony with mingled consternation and despair, but made no defence. He, however, pleaded, with choice and eloquent rhet- oric, against being committed, but the contrast between his accomplishments and the rags prejudiced his case. Final ly, in desperation, tho tramp admitted that he had been engaged in a secret mission, but claimed that he could prove his responsibility by persons in the office of the EUcntng Echo. Sure of their game now, the detectives lost no time in procuring the attendance of the chiel editor of the Echo. He failed at first tc recognize the prisoner, but after more careful scrutiny exclaimed. "Why, Mac is that you?" and satisfied the Judge that the prisoner was no other than Mir. Mclaughlin, of the Echo staff, ono of the best known of London journalists. He had been absent from the office for several days engaged in the task of gathering data concerning the profits of London beggars, and, unknown to his superiors, had chosen to secure e standard by playing the beggar himself After hearty laugh around Mao" wa; | liberated.

Agriculture fin Great Britain

The agricultural changes in Great Britain continued to be of a marked character. The area devoted to grain crops the past year was s,6ls e75 acres, which is 214, ,705 acres less than in 1882. Potatoes were planted on 543, GOO acres, aud turnips and swedes on 2,029,0 900 acres-all showing slight increase; but mangolds, vetches and other green crops have declined by 21, 900 acres on the fig- ures for the previous year. Clover and other grasses show an increase of 6s,- 5O0 acres. The change from tilth to permanent pasturage is again conspicu- ous, there being IS, ,065, 300 acres as com pared with l4,s21, 600 last year. Ten years ago grass covered IS, 900, 900 acres, while arabic land has fallen during that period from 1s,1s6,000 to 173l9, ,ooO acres. Orchards are on the increase, and also market gardening. In the mat. ter of live stock there is nn improve. ment, which leads to the hope that the heavy losses of recent years will be made up.

An Old Story Revived.

The Braod Arrow, an English paper, reviews the following story which has been told of many soldiers and national ities. It says: "Who is the hero of the following true story? A mild but zeal ous disciplinarian was briskly passing a sentinel on his way to his official res idence, when he turned upon the stall wart guardian and demanded the reason why he did not challenge him. In vain the sentry declared that he knew him to be the; he was emphatically told his duty was to challenge every one who approached him, and, warming with ex- citement, the gallant officer exclaimed, Challenge all, challenge me, sir P Well, then, said the sturdy pupil, low cring his rifle and bringing it to the charge, T do challenge you. Give the countersign, sirr and the hasty superior. having in the course of his practical in- struction allowed the word to slip his memory, was forthwith made prisoner and driven into the sentry-box. So sit uated, the worthy preceptor was soon granted another opportunity of estimat- ing the-efects of his teaching. A police man, passing, demanded why the sen- tinel had imprisoned the gentleman. You foolish fellow, said he, why, it is the---p But the only reply from the sentry, was the vociferous demand, Give the countersignF ? The police man, deeming his uniform to be suffi- cient authority for passing the sentry, had also forgotten to learn the word, and he too was ordered into the sentry box, from which he and his distinguished fellow prisoner were rescued only when the sentry was relieved.

EDITION,
The BlshOD Question.

The time of the General Col ference at
Philadelphia was taken up on Wednes'
day in discussing the report ofthe Com
mittee on Episcopacy, and the matter
was finally decided by close vote to
reject that portion of the report recon-
mending the establishment of an Epis'
copal residence in India. This question
was made the special order Of the day,
and drew out an animated debate, the
proceedings at several stages being
marked by considerable confusion on
the floor. On call for the previous
question, the first vote was taken on the
amendment offered by Rev. DR.. Spen-
Ger to the effect that bishops should be
sent to India, and that each one 80
assigned should preside for over two
consecutive annual conferences, and
spend the intervening time in supervi-
sing the work in India, and also that
two bishops should visit India during
every four years. This was voted down
almost unanimously. The other
amen dments to the report Of the COM
mlttee were likewise rejected, and the
question resolved upon the report of the
committee, when a motion to take a
separate vote ON the main question was
agreed to. The first vote was on the
report of the committee recommending
that an Episcopal residence be establish.
ed in India, which was declared reject
cd for want of a concurrent vote. On
the report fixing the number of bishops
to be elected at five an anleEdmeutfix liking
the number at four was agreed to, and
the report as amended was adopted.
