PARLIAMENT CONVENED.
The Resignation of the Premiership BY
Gladstone Has Complicated Matters
tor the Liberals.-Lord Rose
berry's Opportunity

NEW YORK, March PA London
dispatch says: What promises to be
a Memorable session of parliament
convened today. 1t may be a short
session. and it may be n lengthy one.
II the latter, it may enact legislation
more important and vital to the in
terests of the nation than any that
has been submitted for royal assent
since the repeal OF the corn laws. If
the session prove a short one it will
be Because, finding itself unable to
carry ont its policy, whatever that
policy may he, the government is
cenipelled to dissolve parliament and
appeal to the verdict OF the country.
The session is made still further
memorable, moreover, from the fact
that it ushers upon the political
stage a new liberal premier, one who
may or may not prove worthy adj
tiition to that distinguished roll OF
statesmen OF liberal proclivities be-
ginning with Pitt, going down
through the century with Canning,
Aberdeen and Falmerston, and end
ingbut few weeks ago with the
resignation OF the Grand Old Man,
wh0 is today the greatest and most
subHme figure in all ireat Britain
treat are the possibilities OF the
session., and great are the oppor-
I tnnIties OF the Earl of Roseberry
hether he will be equal to them

weeks to determine.

Fabulous Prices

CHICAGO, March Pas if to en-
phasize and trumpet to the world
the fact that, SO far at least as Chi

mercial aud financial depression has
become a thing OF the past, society
enters tonight upon a four weeks
orgie of grand Italian opera at the
Auditorium, with prices ranging
from So for a single seat to $50 and
$40 for a box. II is true that the
various relief associations are still
issuing appeals for funds to tide over
their operations until the opening OF

there is plenty of money in Chicago
for amusement purposes, the advance
sale OF tickets for the opera season
having reached $4,000, while the
gross receipts of the season are ex-
pected to foot up in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 900.

Had His Leg Ground Off.

David Bell Hyde, who resides with his
family in Clifton Forge, had his right leg
ground of just below the knee. He was in the
discharge of his duty as ca Ter for the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company, when
the accident occurred He was crossing the
tracks near the McCJrdy House just as the
vestibule train going east came along. In
keeping out OF the way OF this train he failed
to observe the approach of box-car, which
had been kicked by a shifter along the
tracks. The box-car struck him and knocked
him down, all tho wheels Oiour) passing over
the limb, completely severing 1t from the
body He was carried to the freight office,
where the lacerated member was properly
dressed by Drs Hughes, Wiley and Miller.
He was then taken to his home on Main
street. Mr.. Hyde came to Clifton Forge
from Augusta county about thirteen years
ago, and Is industrious, faithful and popular
with all our citizens who deeply regret the
misfortune that has overtakcn him. de Is
65 years OF age. but it is hoped his iron nerve
will enable him to overcome the shock. His
son, e. II. Hyde, was the locomotive engineer
who was running the shilter that caused the
accident, and is almost distracted in conse'
quence.

A War Claim.

John T. Browns war claim IS a
good story, says the Washington Post,
The committee has just rep )rted to
the House fayOrably bill to pay Mr..
Brown $1,000, and the circumstances
under which this Obligation was in
Cured are set forth in the report In
the wide range which war claim;
have taken there is nothing quite
like this. In November, 1868, &C.
cording to the committees narrative,
Miss Mary Love, of kingston Tenn,
was intruSted with an imrO tant dis
patch from Gen Grant to Gen Burn
side at Knoxvi lie, Tenn. She ca
ried the displtch to Louisville,
Tenn, accompanied part of the way
by Thomas I. Carter as escort and
guide. Miss Love delivered the dis.
patch to John II. Blown, who was
then by only about l3 years OF age,
and he carried the dispatch from
there to Knoxville, through the enc
my's lines, a distance Of about thir'
teen miles, and delivered it to Gen.
Burnside, whose army was Icing be
sieged in Knoxville by the rebels.
Gen. Burnside said that the dispatch
was a very valuable one to the public
service. That was shown by the fact
that in January, 1873, Congl esS
passed an act granting to Miss Mary
Love $1,000 for her services. The
undertaking was perilous one and
it's accomplishment creditable act,
and "fOr it he deserves the thanks Of
all the lovers of their country" the
committee says. The evidence shows
that lie had to get out Of Louisville
through the enemy'S pickets and into
Knoxville through their lines Mis-:
Love states that he was the only per-
con at Louisville that Gould be found
to undertake to carry the dispatch
through.
1t is said that one soldier, Charles
Francis, lost mis- life in on attempt tC
carry a copy OF the dispatch through
by another route.

Tracks Re

The other morning large force of men I'm
der the direction Of section masters, CON-
menced taxing up the Atlanta and Danville
railroad tracks forming the terminal in Ports
mouth and passing through Race avenue to
the wharves and warehouses in Gosport The
removal of the tracks were completed by
noon The deep-water terminal Of the Allan
ia and Danville will hereafter be at West
Norfolk, near Craney Island, where the COM
pany owns wharves and buildings, and where
thirty acres of land has just been purchased
by B. Newgass and others, on which, doubt
less to erect machine and other shops on
their removal from the vicinity OF Ports
mouth.
Thg large expense Of maintaining termi-
nal in Portsmouth necessitates the removal
to West Norfolk 1t is said the company pays
s4S, 1000 a year for the docks and warehouses
in Portsmouth, SO, $50 for right Of way on
Race avenue, and about $500 per annum for
building for general Offices The shops are
located outside the city.
The city of Portsmouth gave the Atlantic
and DanviIle $685. 900 to bring its terminal to
Portsmouth instead OF carrying it to West
Norfolk as originally intended The re-
moval of the tracks caused considerable
sensation in Portsmouth.

the CORSlCAN CLAN.
How the Spirit First Originated Through
MlsgoVernment.

The COrsican loves not work,
neither is he greedy for god, but he
is ambitious, an eager politician,
keenly DESTROYS Of place and power,
of anything, in short, that may set
him above his fellow-men. The
word politician" however. must be
understood in a local sense. The
questions that agitate the continent
have small concern for him; his poll
tics begins and ends with the triumph
or ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of his clan. The
chief OF a clan has no slnecure. He
is expected On all occasions to exert
himself for the interest Of his clients,
says the Contemporary Review.
If an adherent wishes for post, it
Is the duty of the chief to obtain it
for him; if he has incurred some fine
or penalty, the chief must use his in
duence to get 1t RENTED. His
clients In return Gas to public matters
will obey his lead implicitly. He may
be Republican to-day, he may turn
Monarchist tomorrow, but it will
make no difference in their allegiance,
nor will he lose single follower
thereby; it is an understood thing
that what he has done he has done
for the good Of the clan, and as in
former times they would have fo.'
lowed him to battle, so they will fol-
low him to the ballot box to-day.
This spirit Of "clan" first took Its
rise during centuries of abominaDle
misgoyernment. Under the imam
Gus rule of the Genoese, ju tee was
not administered, it was sold. For
an Isolated individual there was no
security either for life or property;
he had no chance in the battle or LIE
save by allaying himself to some
powerful family that cou'd make his
interests respected. The more nu
merous the clan, the more its lnhu'
ence would be felt; therefore the
CorsIcan glories in the number OF his
cousins as he would in the strength
Of his right arm.
