It has become so common to begin an arti- cle in an elegant, interesting style,
 Then run it into some advertisement, that we avoid all such,
 And simply call attention to the merits of Hop Bitters in as plain, honest terms as pos sible,

 To give them one trial, which so proves their value that they will never use anything else.

Fire in the Annex.

The Hoyt Brothers barn in the Annex, just over the Quinnipiac river, was found to be on fire shortly after 1 o'clock this morning and an alarm was sent in from box 75 at the corner of East Chapel and Ferry streets. The engines were compelled to get water from near Schlippman & Spittler's brewery and carry it through an unusually long line of hose across the Quinnipiac bridge so that they worked to great disadvantage. The barn was burned to the ground, together with it's contents, which included horse, carriage, several tons of hay and other ma
 terials. It is not known how the fire started.

 COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 14.-Joseph B. Car berry to-day rendered his resignation to the Governor as a member of the State board of charities. It is said Mir. Carberry made no explanation of his action, but it is understood that it grows out of the papacy speech at the Stallo banquet. He was appointed by Gov ernor Hoadley only last spring and his resig- nation at this time indicates that all is not harmony.
 CINCINNATI, Aug. 14.-J. P. Carberry said to reporter this afternoon in regard to his resignation from the State board of chari- ties: "Since such a runner is afoat, the cause of my resignation is simply that l do not wish to hold office under the appointment of a man with whom differ so widely in politi- cal views. Personally and socially MT. Hoad ley is a close friend of mine as he has been for many years, but his judgment is so erro- neous in the matter of appointments, and his political mismanagement is so glaring, that cannot feel justified in retaining place un- der him. still entertain, however, the kindliest feeling toward my old friend Judge Hoadley"

PARLIAMENT PROROGUED.

Queen Victoria's Speech From the
 Throne.
 LONDON, Aug. 14.-There was very small attendance in either house when at 9 o'clock this afternoon Parliament was prorogued. The Queens speech was read by Lord Salis- bury, lord high chancellor, and it's delivery was unusually impressive. In reviewing the events of the past year her majesty expresses deep sorrow for the failure of the British ex- petition to relieve Khartoum and rescue General Gordon and his army of heroes, and points with special pride to the bravery and endurance of the troops and the skill of their commanders. The assistance rendered by India, Canada and Australia in the Soudan campaign is especially alluded to by her majesty in terms of warm commendation. As the negotiations with Russia continue there is renewed hope that peaceful settle ment of differences with that power will soon be achieved. The Queen has royal assent to bills amending the criminal law, increasing the number of freeholders in Ireland and improving the dwellings of the poor and trusts that that enlargement of the electorate will greatly increase the efficiency of Parliament, and add to the contentment Of the people. In concluslOn. her ma1esty prays God that the new members of Parlia- ment will use their powers with that degree of sobriety and discernment which has so long been characteristic of the British legis- lator and has added so much to the honor and prosperity of the nation.
 Before the propagation Lord Randolph Churchill, secretary of State for India, said the duties of the Afghan boundary commission had not yet been completed, and that the government did not intend to with draw the commission. The dispute with Russia about Zulfkar Pass, the secretary continued, was not trivial, but the govern ment was not altogether without some hope to arrive ere long at a satisfactory settlement of all the points remaining in dispute be- tween England and Russia.
 Parliament was prorogued until October 31.
 LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Standard sneers at theQueen's speech as smoothing everything over regardless of facts.
