Lie.
LONDON. June lG.-1herc was an eXcitir (
scene i'm the House OF Commons this eyeD-

The maltrcatment of the people of New Tip
pcrary hy the police on the occasion OF the
celebration OF Mr.. O'Brien's marriage, by
ptrades. boniires, etc.
Mr.. Ballour denied the charge that the
people had been maltreatcd for celebrating
Mr.. O'Brcn's marriage, or that they had
been maltreatcd at all. The police had eX-
tiugui-hcd the bOniires, but only for the
reason that they Obstrucicd the streets.

Balfour in regard 10 the system of shadow
Ing" pre-, ,alemt in Ireland, and asked how
shadoWing would prevent b0yc0tting.
Mr.. BalfOur said no one in Ireland had
been shadOwed unless he was engaged IN
infmidating others. When intimidation
ceased be said shadOwing could be stopped.
Mr. Balfour then alluded to crimes which
had been committed by the Irish, his re-
marks having the effect TO eXasperate the
lafnelltes.
Mr.. DillOn in violent manner demanded
an apology from Mr.. Balf0ur for the use OF
the word "crimc." and Mr.. Gill gave Mr..
BaliOur the lie. Mr.. Gladstone challenged
Mr. BalfOur To prove his assertions that tue
Liberals had engaged in, encouraged, or
abetfcd crime. Mr.. Balfour substituted the
words "boycOtting and intimidation" for
"crime" aud on appeal to the Speaker the
subject was dropped.

sion. Christian work has been specially

Virginia, the orator of the Philologian So
cety. Introducing his theme. The
south.- he expressed pride in being able to
claim the South as the home OF his ances-
try and his native soil.
We love tie south, he said. We love her
soil-her beautiful valleys, her grand hills
and sparkling streams; but vastly more we
love her history and her heroes. The south
has no apology TO offer for her course In the
past. She is not ashamed Of her record;
and relics Of the war and songs that were
sung in Dixie will be cherished while music
and memory live.
Some things connected with the sold
South ought to be buried; but may her nm
surpassed chiyalry, patriotism, and honor
never die.

Whatever theories of life may be held, one
thing is true---man plays an all-impcrtant
part i'm shaping that lie. Concentration
Goes not mean merely aggregation. The
ocean IL not merely the receptacle OF the
rivers, but uses all the power they possess.
Concentration implies motion, and motion
is necessary to power. In the political, the
religious, the social world, the power OF
concentration has been felt aud illustrated.
