Mr. Justin Mccarthy, who arrived at
New York on Sunday, says he was not
surprised at the defeat Of the Parnell bill
He was surprised rather at the small ma
iority by which it WAS lost. "Why," said
he, "as look back on the early days of
my efforts to gain home rule for Ireland /
am amazed to think how much the cause
has gained. 1t wasn't more than seven
years ago that we numbered only seven or
eight members in the House OF Commons,

1t was said at the time, that Secretary
Wmtney's treatment of John Roach
would not be likely to increase the will
lingness of American shipbuilders to take
contracts from the government. The pre-
diction is thus early verified The time
has already come when the government
invites bids for the construction of new
ships of war, and finds no bidders Before
the bidders were on hand examining
plans and getting ready TO make propOs-
ais, even before the advertisements were
issued. Now fortnight has elapsed,
since the secretary of the navy announced
his readiness to receive proposals and not
n Ind has been submitted. The / rmv
AMI Macy journal says the officials OF
the navy department are much surprised
at this backwardnees but the Jolrndl
does not think it surprising in view of all
the circumstances and especially in view
of Mr. Roach's experience with the de
partment.

The English Parliament has adjourned
without doing anything for the relief OF
Ireland, and will not convene again until
the middle of November. Meantime cold
weather is at hand Much suffering is re
ported among the Irish tenants and evic-
tions and starvation stare some of them
in the face Nor does there seem to be
much prospect that Parliament will do
anything for their relief when it reas-
sembles. A good deal however, will
probably be done for the sufferers by
private charity, and their condition GER
tainly appeals strongly to the sympathes
of all.

Senator Edmunds went to Boston Mon
day, expecting to be joined by other
members of the subcommittee of the com
mlttee on foreign relations, and to pro
ceed to st. John n. b., to investigate mat
ters relating to the fisheries controversy
between the United States and the Domin-
ion. 1t has been remarked AS note
worthy circumstance that this important
international question is largely in the
hands Of two Nermonters, Mr.. Edmunds
and United States Minister Phelps, and it
is likely that they will be able to contrib
ute materially to a satisfactory settle
ment Of the controversy.

The most attractive feature at the Rut-
land county fair was furnished by eX-
Governor Proctor. He fitted out four
huge wagons, each drawn by four big
horses, filled them with children of the
men employed by him in the great marble
quarries and mills at Proctor, and took
them to the fair. There were 800 of them
representing four or five nations; but
their tidy appearance, well formed features
and proprety of behavior, would nave

well Yankee farmers. Few, if any,
employees in Vermont do more for the
welfare of their employees, than Col. Proc
tor. They have library of several thou
sand volumes, largely his gift, and for
every dollar the men give for the purchase
of books for it he gives another dollar.
Attached to it is Il reading room with
magazines and papers and pictures. Those

they appreciate his interest in them. He

A biographical sketch OF General Will
liam Booth, commander n-chlef OF the
Salvation Army, who has come to this
country to inspect his forces on this side
the water, says that America seems to be
responsible for great deal of the gene
rails early inspiration, for it was at the
evangelistic meetings of the Rev. James
Caughey of the United States, that young
Booth first received the impulse which
largely determined his after career. Mr..
Caughey was a Methodist Clergyman of
strong magnetic disposition, who filled his
sermons with thrilling anecdotes and vivid
illustrations, made striking appeals TO the
conscience, and had wonderful success as
an evangelist, especially in England. He
WAS frequently in Burlington, AZ years
ago, in the intervals between his foreign
tours, and will be remembered by some OF
our older readers. Gen. Booth, at "a was
Il Wesleyan, but afterwards entered the
ministry of the New Connection" so
called. He lives near London. Mrs
Booth has preached and conducted meet
ings almost from the inception Of the or
ganization, besides writing numerous
books and pamphlets for the education OF
the army and defending it from criticism
They have nine children, four of whom
| are adults and engaged in army work.

Every once in II while a murder or some
other terrible crime is reported to have
taken place in II compartment car on an
English railroad The latest horror of
the train was passing through tunnel,
and only discovered when the car, drip
ping with blood, stopped at a station. 1t
would seem as if such occurrences would
wean the English travelling public from
the compartment car, in time /; but rs the
alternative is the adoption of the Ameri-
can car, it is probable that John Bull will
stick to his compartments and take the
consequences.

The Boston journal, is convinced that
Secretary Bayard proposes to demand Of
Mexico the repeal of that portion of its
code which provides for the punishment
of violators of Mexican laws when the
offence is committed in another country
1t says
For secretary of state, surrounded by
men who are well versed in international
law and usages and with the laws of their
own country and the decisions of the
courts. Mr. Bayard's ignorance is astound-
ing. What Mr.. Bayard proposed to de
mand of the republic of Mexico is the
repeal OF its penal code. This would be an
unprecedented request to make of one of
the States of our union, but when it is in
the nature of Il demand upon a foreign
government it is both unprecedented and
arrogant.
But then, Mr.. Bayard may not make
such demand

The following remarkable case was re
Gently reported from Utah: A Mormon
who had two wives was indicted for I'M
lawful cohabtatiOn under the third sec
ton of the Edmunds law Pleading guilty
he asked Judge Zane to suspend sentence
on his promise to obey the law in the
future by abandoning his cohabitation
with one of these wives. The judge did
so. The man then asked him whether the
law specified which one of the two wives
he should thus abandon. To this question
the judge replied in the negative, suggest
ing, however, that it would be right and
just for him to live with his first or legal
wife, and discontinue cohabitaton with
the second or unlawful wife. The man
did not follow this suggestion, but rejected
the latter. She, as his lawful wife, eX
postulated with him, fell at his feet, and
besought HIM in agony not to abandon
her for the woman who was not his lawful
wife Her daughter pleaded with him for
her mother, begging him not to forsake
her. All, however was of no avail. lie
adhered to his purpose, and abandoned
his wife, because the other woman, was
younger and more attractive in his eyes.

Civil Service Commissioner Oberly, af-
ter an attentive peruSal of the spicy let

to the conclusion that discretion would be

"a citizen of New York, whose name he
does not give, writes to him. 81 think
YOU would he none the worse if you did
not write word in reply, and the cause
of civil service reform would he the

of advice, but as Commissioner Oberly
does not seem to consider that it reflects
upon himself he has a perfect right to
use it as an eXcuse-though poor one.
