 "That would be fine way of disposing of usr' said Lord Sanders. My one hun- dred thousand acres that cost me all aver age of one dollar per acre, are now worth | from fifty to one hundred dollars per acre. You would only have them pay me what it cost That would be acting the honor- able part with a vengeancel Where are all the noble principles you have been ad- vocating' Where has your nice sense of justice gone'" he asked.
 'Where have they gone' Gone, sir to find the timber that has been taken from the public lands of Utah, Dakota, and oth- CT parts of the great West. Timber that was appropriated to private purposes in large quantities by aliens who dared to take possession of the lands belonging to the United States! They have cut the tim Der from million of acres. They have erected saw mills to turn out large quanti- ties of railroad ties and lumber of all kinds. They sold this lumber and pocket ed the proceedsl No more glaring outrage could be perpetrated against free people than has been committed by these foreign land robbers in the great Westv" said Lol- lard with much emphasis.
 He had unconsciously raised his voice bIilS Ol lH5 dlltn IOD bers and 8 large company had gathered around and heard his words, full of with. ering scorn.
 Lord Sanders did not say wordl He felt there was truth in the statement that he could not deny. I thought of the words of Emerson when he was in England:
 That anyone might say anything he wished in good society, provided he was some one.
 Lollard being descendant from a wealthy and ancient family, although not of the nobility, was important enough to be listened to with respect. After short pause the amusements of the evening con- tinued to late hour.
 Well" I said, as I came home from the House of Commons, where the Tory gov ernment had been destroyed, "our un. crowned king is winning fame for making and unmaking ministers He is illustra- ting the doctrine that the talent and pow CTS, as we'll as the sins, of the fathers are handed down for many generations.

 Haynes. 'I would almost wish him to bc be more powerful, perhaps, from the knowledge of his noble origin"
 'Give us description of the proceed ings in parliament" said Stella, as W seated ourselves in the pleasant drawing. room of Ravens Park The duke and duchess of Melvorne, Col Haynes, his l r,ptbar and with fnrn1fpU U quiet morning party
 '"The House of Commons" I began, twas crowded in every part. At very early hour Mir. Parnell and his faithful eighty-six were there and planted their hats on the choicest spots on the opposi. tion benches. The breakfast at which we regaled ourselves in the dining-room of the House was sight worth seeing. Sixty sat down to one long table, the remainder at a cross table. The view from the state ly windows which overlook the river was a | charming one; the sun lit up the scene. A facetious Ulsterman was one who aspired to outdo the Parnellites by rising early. When he caught sight of the acre of Par nell hats he rushed into the dining-room to see the prodigy He was greeted with a clap of thunder in the shape of an uproar- ous laugh They did not forget the cour- tesy of war, however, but invited him to partake with them, and, instead of poi soned wine which the English gave to Shane O'Neal, they gave him his choice of honest beefsteak, eggs aud bacon. By noon every seat in the House was taken. But as there can be no business done in House until four o'clock, the members roamed about hatless through the lobby and grounds to pass away the tagging hours At last the Heralds voice was heard resounding through the hall Every member rose to his feet, while the ser geant at arms bearing the mace, the chap lain, the speaker and his train bearer entered. Prayers occupied about ten minutes. Then followed an expressing silence. Just when every nerve was raised to the utmost tension, an elderly gentle man rose and gave & homily on hats, until MT. Bradlaugh's finger and Goshens fist caused an interruption. During the homi- ly, MT. Gladstone, who looks fresh and well for a man of seventy seven. sat in his favorite attitude with his head thrown back and hands crossed-the one great fig ure in the whole assembly"

 ''When the votes were cast it was a com plete defeat to the Tory government that had been threatening to suppress the Ma tional League and to establish new coer. cion in Ireland The widest exultations O. the Irish members greeted the an- nouncement of the vote"
 This is the second ministry that Par nell has destroyed within the last eight months" said the Colonel
 "The Irish may have reason to regret this act" said Melvorne. "A ministry with powerful majority would be apt to do the right thing if Gladstone was out of it. He always has done the wrong thing for Ireland and always will, fear. He is vain and vacillatingp'
 He has no easy task,' 1 said. "He must now form policy which the whigs have heretofore bitterly detested and which will fill his party with doubts and misgivings,"
 England needs just now a Lincoln or q Grantr' exclaimed Col Haynes. "Meu who can think and act for themselves and beyond themselves and see what will be the best for nations and for mankind at q glance"
 ''I am sorry that Gladstone is in power With him as our pilot we may have insur rection in Ireland, war with Europe and mutiny in India" said Melvorne. thought
