A Novelty in English Politics.

There was ono feature OF the recent dead
lock In English politics so.striking and anom-
alous that 1t will doubtless need chapter
to Itself In the next edition of Sir ERsKINE
MAYS Constitutional History" For tho
first time ono OF the main springs OF Parlia-
mcntary government was clogged, for tho
power OF q Ministry to appeal to the electors
was temporarily suspended.
1t Is only from this point Of view that the
dilemma by which Lord SALISBURY was for
two weeks perpleSed can be described as un-
precedentetl. A party commanding only n
minority Of votes In the House OF Commons
has repeatedly been called upon to form n
Government. but II persi stcntly obstructcd
by the numerical prcpondcrance OF Its oppo-
nents. 1t could always fall back on the su-
preme resource Of dissolving Parliament At
this juncture, however. n resort to that eX-
pedient was supposed to be impossible be-
cause the Conservative leaders had pledged
themselves to cooperate with the lato Cabi-
not In passing at this session the Seats bill
and Registration bill, although tho execution
OF those measures would necessarily defer the
next general election until November ut the
earliest. This pledge was OF the most public
and binding character the whole scheme Of
reform legislation being tho product OF a
compromise between the two principal politi-
cal parties. The Conservatives. on their part,
were alleged to have already received the
consideration for their acquiescence, having
boen permitted to redlstribute seats at their
pleasure In return for their assent to large
extension Of the franchise.
Yet, rs matter Of fact. the bargain was
not actually consummated at the date Of Mr..
GLADsToNE's resignation, for the Seats bill
had been amended in tho Lords. and sent
back to tho lower House for Its concurrence.
1t will be remembered that Sir MICHAEL
HICKS BEACH and Lord RANDOLPH CHURCH
ILL openly refused to follow Sir STAFFORD
EoRTHooTE in this matter and opposed the
immediate ratification OF those amendments,
with the evident purpose OF delaying the
passage OF the bill until the leaders of the
Liberals should give such assurances OF for
bearance. indulgence, and partial support as
seemed demanded by the extraordinary pre-
dicament in which the Tories had been
plunged by q compact formed when they
had no prospect OF speedy return to office.
For two weeks the Liberals refused to en-
ter into any satisfactory engagement. The
Tories. they said, We're well aware when
they agreed to pass the Seats blu that it

think about It,

Tho Utica Observer doesn't think that there
can be any disagreement between tho Presi-
dent and Secretary BAYARD. because. as our
contemporary says. only few weeks ago Mr.
CLEVELAND went out Of his way. BY dining at
the seorotary's house. TO prove that tho best
relations existed between him and Mr.. BAY
ARD. Since that time nothing hos occurred
which could be interpreted as the cause OF
rupture" How did Mr.. CLEVELAND 20 out OF
his way BY dining at Mr.. BAYARD's house2 The
President must eat as we'll as other people. and
why not at so we'll appointed an establishment
as tho Secretary Of State's7 II the Observer
thinks that Mr. CLEVELAND regards 1t as q
mark of condescsnsion to dino out. 1t attributes
to him an amount Of snobbishness which did
not belong to either President GRANT or Presi-
dent ARTHUR.

Tho best English authorities assert that to

Ulverscroit Hall had once been Ulyers-
croft Priory, grand old monastery, and
the site had been selected us the monks OF
old always took care TO select with an eye
to every natural advantage. King Hal
had given 1t to one of his favorites; and
gradually the monastic part fell Into ruins.
The Priory itself was one OF the loveliest
ruins in England. over the pointed
arches, the UNCOVERED cloisters, and the
marvellous carvings there still hung an
air Of sacred grandeur and venerable
worth.
Tie new mansion which seemed to
spring from the old, comprised many Of
the ancient rooms-the red room, where
Marie of Scotland had reposed; the long
magnificent library, where learned men
had sought to explore the great secrets OF
life; the bower-room, where the stately
Elizabeth had coquetted with the men she
first inspired with love; and vaulted
chambers, once occupied by knights and
squires, but now given over to servants
Perhaps the most beautiful part of ancient
Ulyerscroft was the grounds. There were
deep secluded hollows, where the water
lay In silent pools and herons built their
nests, forest-lands, where the deer rested
In their coverts aud the trees were centu-
ries old.
The modern mansion faced the west -
the ruins lay to the south; and Ulvers-
croft Hall as II stood now was one OF the
most luxurious homes In England. The
