In session. This action brings both the Presi-

Bishop Lays Successor.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
SALISBURY, Nd. Aug. 26.-The convention of
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Eas.op met
at this place this evening for the purpose of
electing a successor to the late Bishop Henry c.
Lay, who died in Baltimore in September, 1885.
Already the position has been rendered by the
convention, at different times, to three gentle
men, all of whom declined the honor. This
evening, upon the third ballot, the convention
elected Rev. Alex l. Drysdale, of Christ Church,
New Orleans, to the position. The sensitiveness
of the people has become aroused by the repeated
decinations of those outside of the diocese, and
if Mr. Drysdale should refuse to tie himself to
the Easton diocese. they will insist upon the
convention selecting some gentleman at home.

The Right Hon. Edward Stanhope. Colonial
Secretary, announced that the governments

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, resuming the debate
on Mr.. Parnelps amendment to the address. said
his only objection to the first part of the amend
to the address unless the House was prepared TO
act upon it. The second part of the amendment,
be sad was an implied censure on the govern
ment. He would do nothing, he declared. to ex-
pei the present government from power while
that which stood ready to replace it COM
mitted to policy of separation. He
did not believe that the government would ever
tax England for the benefit of Irish tenants, but
if it did, he should feel it to be his duty to place
himself in strenuous opposition to such action.
Mr. Chamberlain said he belived that another
appeal to the country would be worse for the
Parnellites than the last had been. He wanted
to know If tenants would be permitted by the
Parnellites to pay their rents II they were Will
ing to do So and also asked II the
parnellites supported Mr.; parnelps at
it was the duty Of himself and his followers to
make English government of Ireland impossible.
If the Parneltes repeated that Speech he said,
they must also repudate American donations to
sthe Irish fund He admitted that if the present
depression IN Ireland was TO be continued the
judicial rents would be unfair. That matter de-
manded impartial consideration in equity, but
in the meantime it was the duty of the govern
ment to maintain the law as it exists.
The House adjourned with the mutual under
standing, with those favoring and opposing the
amendment, that the debate should terminate

lNOrfolk Correspondence Of the WinSted Herald.
 A very pleasant affair took place at the Hillhurst on Wednesday evening of last week. Misses Leonie Jesurun and Julia Moseley, guests of the house, thoughtfully planned an entertainment not only for the guests at the Hillhurst, but also for other visitors at Norfolk and residents. Among those present were the following: From Norfolk, Misses Isabella and Alice Rldridge,
 MT. J. B. Eldridge, Mir. Edward Swift. MT. and Mrs. Theodore H. Beardsley Miss Emily Harding, MT. Carl Steckel, MT and Mrs. w. s. Baker; from New Haven, Professor Ly- man, Miss Lyman, Miss Della Lyman, MT. Henry Johnson, MT. and Mrs. s. H. Moseley, Miss Moseley, MT. Henry P. Moseley, Mrs. William H. Moseley, Miss Merwin, Miss Florence Merwin, Mir. Linden Clark, MT. Ju- lius Twiss, MT. J. D. Dewell, jr., Miss Dew ell Mrs. Chamberlain; from Hartford, MT. and Mrs. Charles E. Gross, MT. and Mrs. George H. Seyms, MT. and Mrs. Charles G. Frisbie, Mrs Charles S. Goodwin, Miss John W. Gray, Miss Lincoln, Miss Alice Bolter; from Waterbury, Hon. A. E. Rice, Mrs. Rice, Mrs. L. I. Munson, Miss Munson, Miss Sadie Munson, Miss Anna White: from New York city, Miss Minnie Brown, Miss Lizzie E. Norton; also Miss Minnie Caswell of Phonixville, Pa, Miss Teresa Clark of Northampton, Mass, Miss Woodman of Newton, Mass, and Miss Laura Page of Per ry, N Y. The first part of the evening was pleasantly passed in games and refreshments were served at about half-past nine, after which dancing commeneed and was contin- ued in very animated manner until after eleven o'clock. The ladies made very fine appearance. It is seldom that among par ty of ladies of this nnmber so much beauty, grace of manners, elegance of toilet and so many brilliant diamonds are seen. The par lors were handsomely decorated with ferns and flowers, and the music was furnished by Mrs. Charles E. Gross and Miss Merwin. Too much praise cannot be given to Misses Jesu- run and Moseley for the good taste and skill in the conception and successful execution of this entertainment. The scene presented was an agreeable and brilliant one. The fine views obtained at the Hillhurst, the bracing air, the refreshing breezes, the neat and tasteful furnishings of the house, together with the kindness, courtesy and efficiency of MT. Baker, the proprietor, combine to make it one of the most desir able places in the country for passing the hot season.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

We are not of those who think the Repub- licans of Connecticut to have what is known as "a walk-over' this fall, and we do think that the situation is more uncertain than usual. The cheering feature of it is that it is quite as uncertain for the Demo- crats as for the Republicans.
 In view of the uncertainty it behooves the Republicans to do the best they can, and es- pecially to start well, for, as the old saying has it, thing well begun is half done. The convention which is soon to meet in Hart ford should not take any more chances than it is obliged to. It should of course select nominee who is fit for the office, and it should not neglect to pay attention to what may be called his ssrunning quality"
 Everybody knows that in character, ability and experience in public duties the Hon. Morgan G. Bulkeley is well fitted to be gov ernor, and many strongly believe that with him at the read of the ticket the chances for it's election would be better than they would be with any other man who has been or could be named This belief is based on his general popularity, the enthusiastic friend- Illness with which he is regarded by many in
 
 skill as campaign director. If he should be nominated one of the notable features of the campaign would be the hearty personal effort which would be put forth by his very numerous friends, who would like nothing better than an opportunity to thus show their regard for him. Such work as this is much more effective than the work of hire ings or even of those who are alone interest ed in the success of the party. We regard it as something we'll worth taking into account. There is probably not man in the State who could have as much vigorous and sincere personal support, if nominated, as Hart ford's mayor. He would know how to di- rect that support so that it would be most effective for the ticket. The campaign would be enthusiastic, well directed, and as suc- cessful as possible. Those who know Mayor Bulkeley and his friends know that this is the simple truth.
 Considering the important nature of the contest this fall we believe that the strong est candidate, the one most likely to be suc- cessful, should be selected, and this without regard to any 'claims" that may be made. We also believe that Mayor Bulkeley best answers the equirements of the situation.

John Wesley, fellow of Lincoln college,
 and William E. Gladstone.
 At London, as usual with tourists St.
 Paul's cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the
 Tower of London, Bank of England, the
 National Gallery on Trafalgar Square and
 other prominent places were visited. The gallery was disappointment. Few modern pictures were there, while scores on exhibi- tion were valued more for the historical asso- citations connected with them rather than in- trinsic merit. A superabundance of paint 1ngs which had done service for long years at cathedrals and elsewhere were exhibited, presenting the infant Jesus, the Madonna and child, the Magi, etc., repeatedly. To my unartistic vision nothing could be more out of taste than the utterly improbable pos ture of painting the infant Jesus in a state of nudity lying on the floor, while Mary, Jo- seph and the wise men gaze upon him with evident admiration. The paintings of Land seer and Rosa Bonheur were delight.
 The Colonial and Indian exhibition, Lon don, proves gratifying success. Immense audiences throng the place daily. On the night of our visit the number was estimated park and buildings. Thousands of minute colored lights burned and twinkled in the darkness overhead. on the borders of the paths, amid the foliage of the trees and the waters Of the fountains. Large and numer- ous electric lights also blazed brilliantly at POlAeS Oh Gu0 SEOuuOS, pI6SSutluR A scene of rare beauty.
 Sunday brought us to City Road chapel in the morning, the cradle of Nethodism, built by John Wesley; at Westminster Abbey in the afternoon, where Canon Purse preached and grand choir sang, and to hear Newman Hall at his church on Westminster road at night. The steeple of the latter church is known as Lincoln tower and was built large ly by funds contributed from the United States. It is in honor of Abraham Lincoln and the emancipation proclamation and con- tains red, white and blue stones. The ami versary of MT. Halls church was being cele- brated and the sermon proved one of great excellence.
 On another Sabbath I was privileged to hear Charles H. Sturgeon in the morning at his great Tabernacle, which was literally packed to overfowing. In the afternoon Canon Iiddon preached at St. Paurs cathe- dral. Owing to the crowd in front of me and the unfortunate acoustic qualities of the vast and venerable structure I could hear but little. In the evening I went to listen to the Rev. Dr. Sutherland, of Canada, who had been announced to preach at the Wes- leyan church on Great Queen street, but owing to illness his place was supplied by another. But my letter is already too long and I must close. I will write again from Paris N. Fl.

that when one has explored their luxurious
 interiors, one easily understands why she is
 built upon this model. The after-deck has
 a table where dinner is sometimes served to
 any ladies who may happen to be on board
 and who have prejudice against going down
 below to their meals. It is finished in ma
 hogany and fitted with dark green leather
 furniture. The wide divan running about
 three sides of the cabin is most inviting and
 commodious. The commodoTe's quarters
 are in the other deck cabin, wherein are
 found charts and connpasses and sextants
 and binnacles, and all other navigating ne-
 cessities. A second wheel and steering ap-
 paratus are placed here, and would come in play if any accident should happen to the ones in ordinary use A companionway leads from this commodious cabin to the lower forward cabins, which are set apart for the use of the eommodore's family. One of these is without peradventure the most sumptuous apartment seen since Cleopatra's barge. The Moorish decorations, faintly suggestive of the Alhambra, are carved from the solid light wood-oak perhaps, or cher ry ot the walls and roof. Great clear mirrors reflect the face so many times that, unless it should chance to be very peaceful or rare ly beautiful one, it might be wearisome to an occupant of this fairy room to see so many faraway images of himself The dainty ap- pointments of the bed and dressing table are in the most exquisite taste. Passing from these penetralia of the Electra, we are shown something of the mechanism by which the swift boat is urged over the ocean. Her great engines, her electric machines and the pro- cess by which the ice for the consumption of the Electra is made between her very sides, close by the throbbing heart beats of the seat of her life and motive power; the galley, wherein Presides foreign functionary, polite, white capped, starched and immaculate from top to toe, is comprehended at glance, and the great refrigerator near by. The large af- ter dining cabin is as handsome in it's way es any spart of the great ship, and it boasts 8 collection of rare exotics which seem to thrive well on their diet of salt air Indeed, it is said that flowers will keep longer in the cabin of yacht at sea than anywhere else. Numerous portholes and open hatchways give abundance of fresh air on board this beauti- ful vessel and keep the cabins cool in spite of the great quantity of light everywhere wis lble. Fourteen can sit down comfortably to dinner in the great dining cabin spoken of above. If the weather should be in the least cold the Electra can be flooded with heat till she is as warm hotel parlor. Another luxury provided for her inmates is salt wat CT baths, both hot and cold Luxurious washstands, furnished with electric lights, lnrk in the corner, opening like lockers to the surprise of the astonished looker-on.
