Irish Home Rule.

The Irish home-ruie question seems to
have pretty well resolved itself into an
oratorical "set-to' between Lord Sails
bury and Lord Rosebery. Both leaders
are seizing every available occasion to
speak on the subject, and each sticks to
his text. Rosebery iterates and reiterates
his contention that home rule can only
be secured by carrying conviction to the
hearts and the minds OF the English
people, and Salisbury continues to 'aunt

Judge Gregory Wants II.

RIchmond Letter, IndeX-AppeaI)
There is no doubt OF the fact that 1t is
the purpose OF Judge James NJ. Gregory,
of Chesterfield. to run for Congress
against Hon. George ID. Wise, or whoever
may be the Democratic nominee. The
Judge Is already hustling around getting
the prelmlnares of his canvass arranged.
| am told that the Judge intends TO
make a personal canvass Of the district.
and TO speak in every precinct as far as
practicable. The Populists say they will
carry every county in the district by
sufficiently large majorities to overcome
the Democratic majority In Richmond
and Manchester but the Democrats view
the situation through different glasses.

the person now addressing the house?"
Sir Walter gazed at the man with hor-
ror and amazement, and said, with
scant courtesy: "What do you say?'
~ beg your pardon, sir, but do not
know the gentleman" At this the
Sussex blood of the Barttelots
was reused. "Sir, are you
a member of this house?" "Oh, no,
SIR" "Then what on earth are you
doing here?" "Well. l was under the
gallery and could not hear very we'll,

telot's face assumed an expression Of
