RIDICULING HOME RULE.
Salisbury Says it is Fruitful of So.
 phistry and Claptrap.


 phistry and Claptrap.
 Lord Salisbury delivered an address at Bristol, England, recently. He spoke of the growth of the Primrose League, which he said was marvellous. The league, he de clared, was of transcendental value in the solution of any current political question, as it was a noble instrument with which to blend the classes and masses. He hoped ere long the Government would settle the troubles which were menacing the internal peace of the nation. The Government was confronted wtI a combination of political opposition, with predatory greed such as no government had ever faced before. The Government relied upon the continued conf- dencc of the country to enable it to overcome this combination.
 Lord Salisbury ridiculed the agitation in favor of home rule in Ireland. He declared that the county of Cornwall, by it's distinct racial origin, it's language, its tradition, and it's history, had as much claim for separate Parliament as Ireland. The nationality ar gument was insincere. 1t was more fruitful of sophistry and captrap and more barren of solid sense than anything that ever was be- fore the country. It would sacrifice the first interests of industry and commerce to mere empty sentiment. The Unionists were con fronted with two phalanxes, one political the other criminal, both converging to a common end, and that was to make the exc cution of tho law in Ireland impossible. It was miserable spectacle to see members of Parliament standing up to defend embezze- ment and trand. The Unionists, conscious of their high calling, ought not to allow person al considerations to enter into electoral qucs tions. They should not poach on each others grounds, but should combine to support the men most likely to win.
 Lord Salisbury further said that the Gov ernment had not added to the cost of defence without reflection. In the event ofa variance with European countries an enemy might come from the coast line between Scheswg and France. It was a grave thing for any man to propose to add the coast line of Ire land to England responsibility of defence by giving Ireland independence.

A Novel Yacht.

There is being built in Brooklyn ship yard 8 steam yacht which has an eight-inch brass bound hole on each side of the keel and quarter inch brass bound hole where other steam yachts have propeller. When com pleted, this novel yacht will have a double piston pump, exerting a hy- dpsulic pressure of 2,5oo pounds to the square inch. This pump will draw water into the vessel through the side pipes and eject it through the stern pipe, so as to drive the yacht eleven or twelve miles an hour. The new yacht'will be 110 feet long and p feet beam. She will have small engines and no wheel. The steering will be regulated by the jet of water from the stern pipe. Dr. Jackson, of Brooklyn, the proiector of the new craft, formerly operated a little launch on the principles described above. He thinks his yacht now build ing will turn harbor navigation topsy turvy, and has named 1t "The Revolu- tion. ."-Neao York Times.

His Army Captures and Burns the
 Village of Petite Riviere.

His Army Captures and Burns the
 Village of Petite Riviere.
 The steamer Caroline Miller, which arrived at New York recently, brings news of bat tie between the contending armies at Cape Haytien, in which the forces of Legtime won a decisive victory over those of Hyppolite. capturing number of prisoners and taking and totally destroying by fire the village o. Petite Riviere.
 Petite Riviere is village of about thirteen hundred or fourteen hundred inhabitants, who live and transact their business in some six hundred houses-or, more properly speaking, shanties. It is something like fifteen miles from the port of Saint Marc.
 The battle occurred early on the morning of April 7th, and wassomething in the nature of surprise. Legitime had an army ofabout two thousand men, and suddenly descended upon the town, meeting with comparatively little resistance from the enemy, who is re- ported to be hardly five hundred strong. The fight, however, was continued at long range for some hours, resulting in the complete route ofHyppohte's forces, who scattered in all directions, taking to the mountains
 The inhabitants of Petite Riviere took to their heels at the very beginning of the con fict, leaving every scrap of their property. save what they could carry on their backs, behind them. They, too, took to the noun tains, and at last accounts were wandering hither and thitherin search of shelter. None of the civilians were harmed, and the total casualties in both armies combined was only ! fifteen killed and forty or forty-fve wounded | When Legitime's men entered Petite Riviere | they found it a deserted village. People had | apparently dropped everything just where | they stood andshad devoted their entire en- | ergies to making their heels save their necks. | The Legitimists confscated whatever proper | ty t:ley wanted and could carry away and | then set fire to the village. When they left ii there remained of the 600 shanties only smouldering ruins.

 One of the most interesting incidents of the opening of Oklahoma occurred recently upon the return to Arkansas City of a train carry. ing newspaper correspondents. Seven of the Chicago and other Western correspondents had pooled their issues and engaged a cow boy to meet them on horseback just after the train entered the yards at Arkansas City and to gallop furiously to the telegraph offices. Mir James Cox, of the St. Louis "Globe- Denl- ocrat," was shut out of the combination The plan worked beautifully until the cow boy had gallopcd half a block on his way to the telegraph office. MT. Cox saw the scheme. and leaping from the moving train he started on foot after the horseman. It was a run ot more than mile to the telegraph office. By spurt Mir. Cox overlook he horse and then a desperate race began. The cowboy dashed his horse vigorously, but he could not shake off the feet-footed correspondent. On the last eighth of a mile MT. Cox spurted like a sprinter, and by a terrific effort reached the telegraph office forty rods ahead. When he entered the office he could hardly stand or see. The cowboy has not since beer seeu.
