BULwRR,s REPARTKR.
Wit Passed Between the Novelist and
 Lord Palmerston.

Wit Passed Between the Novelist and
 Lord Palmerston.
 From the New York Timesl
 In reading in last Sundays Times Rich ard B. Kimbalrs interesting account of Bull wer, I was reminded of an incident that happened in parliament in July, 1855, which illustrates the great novelist's good humor and quickness of repartee. A kinsman Me Hillingfeetcazley, a member of parliament for the North Riding of York from, 1882 to 1862, had taken me into the house-stran- gers gallery-and was showing me the cels- britiss. Of course, was anxious to see the author of "Pelhsm"-I was only 6 boy then-and I was fortunate enough to hear him, too.
 It happened thus: The debate was on Lord John (sfterward esrD Russel's igno- minious failure during his mission in Wien na to bring the Crimean war to an end and the opposition was very hot against the party in power. At last Lord Palmerston, then prime minister, rose and got to talk ing in hectoring way about "this unne- csssary and unprovoked attack upon the government" and ended by saying in a loud voice and looking straight at the two literary members-Bulwer and Disrseil- who were sitting together on the front of the opposition bench:
 "The gentlemen are making Much Ado About Nothing"
 He sat down amid loud cheers from his own side; but in an instant Bulwer was up, and with exquisite grace and sarcasm said:
 "Mr. Speaker"-then turning to bow slightly toward the treasury bench-'I beg to remind the noble lord that in chronolo- gical order Much Ado About Nothing come after the Comedy of Errors.'"
 leave readers of Shakespeare to imagine the tumultuous 'Hear!" Hear" "Hearl" from the conservative side and the laughter all over the house.

 No white rubber plates are allowed in the park for the batter to tap and there are no bags at the different bases. The bases are marked of with coats. There isn't any greater racket when one of these make-be- heve bags is stolen than when somebody tries to bat out of his turn. The reason of this is that every last drop of breath and every rag of indignation is expended up the willow. There is nothing left for the thief

NEW HAVEN, CONN. FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4

for s105, ,000, is making the tax assessors of Terre Haute good deal of trouble. At first he was appraised at 5000, but the public in that city protested against such valuation as absnrdly low in view of the animals real value and his extraordinary earning power. The State board have decided to raise Axtell's valuation, and now in turn the steed's owners protest against the increase. It is question of interest to owners of such finely bred stock everywhere. A1tell's owners claim that, although they paid $1o5, ,000 for the horse, they cannot get him insured, and that it is unfair to tax him on his present earning basis. Furthermore, there is great risk attached to such an investment. They threaten finally to remove the horse from the State if the appraisement is raised, and that would be blow at the growing breeding interests of the region. willing subject of an interesting but pain full experiment few weeks ago, when he was shot, accidentally through the :thigh by soldier, who was practising with the new Lee -Metford magazine rife, which has just been adopted for the British army. The bullet passed clean through the thigh, but the wound healed so rapidly and>well that the patient was up and on meat diet in eleven days. In twenty-four days he was discharged well, with his leg in as good condition ss ever. Soon after this the unlucky man caught cold and died of bronchitis, and the army surgeons promptly seized the opportunity of making post-mortem examination. They found that all internal traces of the wound had vanished. From this fact they draw the conclusion that, whatever may be the power of the new rife in disabling a much larger number of men in given time, the severity of individual wounds inflicted will be much less.

RAPID TRANSIT.

When Jules Verne's man managed, with great trouble and expense, to get around the world in eighty days the feat was thought to be an astonishing one. Since then Nelly By, George Francis Train and Miss Bisland have put Phileas Fogg in the shade, and what can be done has again been made manifest by reduction of ten days of the regular time between Japan and England.
 One of the steamers of the Canadian Pacific line left Yokohama on the 18th of August and reached Victors, British Co., lumbia, on the 29th, covering distance of 3,9O0 miles in less than ten days. Upon her arrival after this remarkably quick passage, the officers of the Canadian Pacific road determined to make a corresponding record on land, and deliver the mail to the City of New York, which was the morning of September g. A spe- cial train was at once made up at Van ceuver and madethe run to Brockville on the St. Lawrence river, a distance of 1903 miles, in eighty-four hours and twenty minutes, or, allowing for the difference in time, in seventy-seven hours and twenty minutes. A delay seems to have taken place here, but after the New York Central train started, it made up for lost time. The schedule time for the run between Utica and Albany, a distance of ninety-fve miles, was 105 minutes, but the run was actually made in 90 minutes, probably the highest speed ever attained in this country for so long distance. The time between Albany and New York was two hours and forty-one minutes, an average speed oi 53.6 miles an hour, and the mail was final ly delivered on the steamer only ter minutes after her regular time for sailing Around the world in forty days may yet be the record. Ten days off of the regular time between Japan and England will dc for starter.

Why He Called His Parrot Money.


 There was a Farmers s'-Alliance-looking man at the Lake Erie depot yesterday, and he had a parrot, of which he seemed very proud, and with good reason, for it was an accomplished linguist. There was also an "observer" there, one of those persons who call themselves philosophers and students of human nature. Quoth he to his compan- ion:
 "There is curious fact in relation to parrots. Nesrly..all are possessed of the same name. Now, I'll bet you a box of cigars against cigarette that that birds name is Polly"
 He accosted the parrot man with: 'I say, my friend, what do you call that birdi'' Money" was the reply.
 What do you call it that forf'' '"Cause money talks. Seei"
 You're right she does" said the parrot, as she winked the other eye

Revival of the ePastime-SSThe P Yacht
 Club of France',-Its Fatal Infu-
 ence on the SPort-Neyv Clubs-The
 Outlook.
 From La Nouvelle RevueI
 Here we are in the midst of the holiday season. On all our shores we find on many colored placards the announcements of re- gattas, spectacles awaited by the crowd of bathers as an original attraction-a hors d'euvre which for day or two comes to enliven the monotonous lsziness of an ex- istence which drags itself slowly along be- tween the indiscreet delights of the baths, the daily concerts, and the artistic and dancing soirees of the casinos. For a few days at high tide one can see the arrival of pretty little vessels of which the elegant fotilla of yachts is composed. Then when the great day arrives the crowd gathers on the beach, on the jetties, and on the seats of rowboats to see the start at the signal of shot from a war vessel or a state gun boat. Then we see bounding upon the waves the tall white sails bending to the breeze. With a spyglass and 8 program one can follow for few moments with di- vided attention the struggle of the light flyers of the ocean, reserving applause for the burlesque punt races manned by acro- bats; and when the grand contestants come back to port, some with broken wings, one can hardly distinguish the winner. Will we allow Germany to beat us in this sport, in which we hold the third place while expecting betteri No, because with us the yachting world is alive, proudly as- serting it's vitality and ready to do excel lent work.
 A numerous group of yachtsmen, of | which the journal, Yacht, is the standard bearer as well as the inspirer, has already answered the above question by creating the French yacht committee, whose pro- gram is to facilitate in our country the development of the construction of | yachts and to put them in shape to bat | tie with the yachts of foreign countries. Henceforth everything will be French | in our yachts, from the plans to the hum- blest man of the crew, and if, in year or two, these boats, French from the rabbet of the keel to the top of the masts, can win, as we hope they will, international regattas, the success will be profitable tl our industrial interests and bring honor to our flag.
 But, we may be asked, how about the | yacht cluba What is the use of this new committee if it does not come from tht ] patent society to which admipistration o.

 During Bishop Newman's missionary trip around the world awhile ago he spent some time in India One day lot of na- tive pastors were called together to hear the bishops views on the best methods of carrying on evangelical work. Native converts, according to the missionaries are apt to think they know just what to do and are perfectly qualified to get along without advice. Bishop Newman began his talk, but was constantly interrupted by the native brethren, who jumped up one after another to remark that they thought this or that would be preferable. "Now, look here," finally exclaimed the bishop, losing his patience little, Eff any of you think you can conduct this meeting better than can will you please rise.' J There was silence for moment as the bishop glanced around the room. Then four of the brethren gravely rose and waited to be counted.
