New York, Dec. 5th.-In the House of
Commons Lord Randolph Churchill moved
the adjournment of the House as a mark
Of cenSure for the proposed despatch of a
battalion of troops for the defence of
Suakim, and quoted the disapproval of the
highest military a~uthority.-Sir William
HarcOurt supported the motion. The un-
expected attack nearly shipwrecked the
Ministry, but they were able to postpone
the vote until the members were collected,

by 231 to I89.

The ten million and a quarter adult
males who now take part in the election
for the American Presidency, decided on
Tuesday for Mr.. Harrison, the Republican
candidate. OF the 40I members of the
Electoral College, 233 will vote for him,
and only 1853 for Mr.. Cleveland, who clearly
has not benefited by his recent anti-British
action. 1t is believed, though the figures
are not yet known, that the Democrats
pOlled a heavier vote than ever, and that
Mr.. Cleveland may even have a majority
OF the mass vote but what is needed is
a majority Of the ELECTORS" These are
distributed to each State in proportion to.
its population, but as each voter votes for
the whole 'ticket', ii majority of one in u
popuiOuS State may nave an enormous
effect. New York for instance, has thirty
six Electors, and in 1884 all voted for Mr..
Cleveland. This year, though not 5 per
cent. of The people changed their opinions,
the thirty,six Electors are Republican, and
the change made a difference of seventy.

THE THREE RELATED LAWYERS

And the Truthful Georgia Landlord.
Not far from the city of Montgom.
cry. in the State of Alabama, on one of
the roads running from that city, lives
a jolly landlord by the name of Ford.
In fair weather or foul, in hard times or
soft. Ford would have his joke when
ever possible. Ono bitter. stormy
night. or rather morning, about two
hours before daybreak. he was aroused
from his slumbers by loud shouting
and knocks at his door. He turne Il
out, but sorely against his will. and de-
manded what was the matter. 1t was
dark as tar. and as lie could see no one
he or ed ouS:
"Who are you. there?
Three lawyers from Montgomery,
was the answer. We ARE benighted
and want to stay all night"
VERY sorry | can't accommodate
you so far. gentlemen. Do any thing
to Oblige you, but that's impossible"
The lawyers-for They were three of
the smartest lawyers in the State, and
ready to drop with fatigue-held II con.
sultat on, and then. as they could do
no better and were too tired to 90 an
other step. they asked:
''Well. can't You stable our horses
and give us chairs and good fire until
morning?"
'Oh. yes. can do that, gentleman.
Our learned and legal friends were
soon drying their wet cloths by a bright
fire MS they composed themselves to
pass the few remaining hours in their
chairs. doing and holding. and now
and then swearing word or two of inn
patience as they waited for daylight.
The longest night has morning,
and at last the sun came along. aud
in due time good breakfast made
its appearance; but to the surprise Of
the lawyers, who thought the house
was crowded with guests, none but
themselves sat down to Dariaka.
"Why. Ford, ! thought your house
was so full you couldn't give ns a bed
last night" said one of the travellers.
Il didn't saw So" Ford replied.
You didn'tp What in the name OF

lyon asked me to let you stay here
all night and said it would be impos-
sible. for the night was two-tIIirds

The lawyers had to give It up. Three
of them on one dc. and the landlord
had beaten them all. --AtiantG Constt-

first upon the fighting qualities of :heir
urban contemporaries; and it was
clear they held them somewhat in awe

for blood. From this the talk passed
to the pleasures of hunting and the
merits and dement's of certain guns.
