IN PARLIAMENT HOUSE. WITH THE LORDS AND THE COM MONERS OF ENGLAND. The Ceremony of Announcing the Royal Assent-Property Representa tion—The Gentleman Usher cf the Black Rod. From the Baltimore Sun. London, Aug. fl.—Yesterday I spent all the hours from 4 o’clock in the afternoon until midnight in Parliament House, and was never more interested than in what I saw and heard. Half of this time I was on the floor of one or the other House, watching the manner of conducting busi ness, and the remainder was occupied in conversation in the refreshment and smok ing rooms, or on the broad terrace which overhangs the Thames, und is called tho “Commons” Terrace, being considered the peculiar property of that body, where no member of the Houso of Lords goes except by invitation. The Lords Ter race, which fronts, hut is not directly on the river, is not so handsome as that of tho Commons, and although a member of tho latter body is not expect ed to wait for an invitation to visit it, and it is perfectly good form for him to go in the absence of such, it is very rarely that a member of either House is found oil the terrace which is considered as the property of the other. On summer nights, when wearied with the debates or exhausted with the pent-up air of their respective chambers, the Loras and the Commons flock out upon their terraces, and spend hours in the cool air, smoking or sipping refreshments. SMALL BUT HANDSOME QUARTERS. While one who enters thecnainbers of the Houses of Parliament is at once struck with their contracted dimensions, he cannot but be attracted by their handsome oriianieuta tion. The stuffy little galleries which hang over these chandlers are ridiculously small, as compared with the Hue accommodations for the public in the capitol at Washington, tiut I was told that it is only on the rarest occasions that they are found insufficient. One of the reasons for this may lie the difli culty of obtaining access, for under ordinary ami usual circumstances it takes more time and trouble to get into the galleries of Parlia ment than most persons would care to un dergo. After receiving the coveted ticket to the gallery the visitor, before he can climb the narrow stairway, is required to sign his name and address, with tho name of the member by whom he is introduced, in a book especially kept for that purpose. When he gets to the top of the stair he is confronted by a very imposing looking and consequential doorkeeper, in full evening dress, with a groat gilt badge stretched across his bosom. This doorkeeper inspeets the ticket quite leisurely, and then with a snap of his Anger indicates to the vis itor where he is to take his seat. I presume the House of Commons pub lic galleries may possibly, if crowded, give room for about 200 people, but no more. There are two narrow galleries which run along the sides of the chamber, called members’ galleries, into which per haps as many more might lie crowded, hut it is very rarely that visitors are put into these. They are reserved for members’ own accommodation, and on occasions when the House is quite full, by reason of unusual proceedings, members go into these galleries and address the Speaker from them. Home people, I should imagine, are not much in the habit of attending the proceedings of Par liament, contenting themselves quite likely with reading the very full reports that the papers print. At least three-fourths of the (lersons who were in the Commons galleries yesterday were Americans. In the Lords galleries I did not see any one during tho whole evening. There were a number of people hanging around the doors at times, but had no means of gaining access to a peer to secure admission for them. THE ROYAL ASSENT. While I was on the floor of the House of Lords I witnessed the ceremony of the announcement of the royal assent to certain measures of Parliament. It was rather an elaborate ceremony over such a small mat ter. The Lor' 1 Chancellor, with his tre mendous horsehair wig, which covers the sides of his face and hangs down on his shoulders, tho Duke of Buckingham and the Earl of Lathon were the commissioners to signify the Queen’s assent. When all was ready, the door of the House of Lords was opened, and simultaneously the door of the House. The Lord Chancellor, from his chair, and the Speaker from his chair, looking across tho intervening corridors and the lobby between, wore in sight of each other. As soon as the two recognized each other the policemen, who were distrib uted all along, cleared the way, command ing “Hats off!” The Speaker then, witli slow and stately tread, marched from the Commons to the Lords, the Sergeant-at- Arms preceding him with ids uplifted mace, which is about live times ns big as that, of tho Sergeant at-Arms of the House of Representatives, and attended by several of his own assistants, all in evening dress. The Speaker was in knee breeches and black silk stockings, which covered legs not much to boast of, and a train at the end of his gown about three yards long. This train was up held by the “fcrainbearer” to the Speaker, who receives £250 |>er annum for his ser vices. Behind the trainbearer came a dozen or more of the members of the House, who follow on such oceassions to make the dis play more imposing. When the Spi-aker with Ills retinue entered and took places in front of the “commissioners,” who received them with due ceremony, the Lord Chan cellor, acting a-s spokesman, declared that the Queen had lieen pleased to give her assent to certain measures which he named, and then, after flowing all around, the Speaker and his cavalcade marched back to the House of Commons. SOME POINTS Or DIFFERENCE. I heard several speeches in the House of Lords, one by the Duke of Argyle, brother in-law of the Princess Louise. Tlie appear ance of the Duke was pretty thoroughly dis cussed by the papers when lie was in America. I sat only a few feet from him, and saw that he had not changed since then. He iias a most benevolent look, and talks in an easy, pleasant way, more after the stylo of American speakers, it seemed to me, than the English style. He is not (larticularly graceful in his delivery, as during his re marks he loaned clear over and rested his weight on the table before him. Only one ol the lords spiritual was present, hut ho apparently took very little interost in the proceedings, and looked about in Jus bishop’s robes ns if he would bko to lie somewhere else. Tho Izords were in “committee of the whole,” as it is called hi legislative parlance, but different from legislative practice in the United States. " heu either House of Parliament is in committee of the whole, the Chairman does J'ot occupy tlie seat of the presiding officer, •oit. sits nt, the Clerk’s table. In looking around tho House 1 noticed the ill*sonee of eusnidor.., Which I mentioned to the Peer with whom i was then conversing, and added, to his amazement, that in our ' 1 ’’lgress it was necessary to supply almost every Senator mid Representative with one of these articles. He said they would have no use for them, ns he did not know a memlierof either House whoehewed tobacco, and they never smoked in the lucis lutive chambers, but only in the smoking rooms or on the terraces. Indeed, I may say Jjiat I have yet to meet any gentleman on ■ his side of the Atlantic who chewed to that was not an American, although 1 thmk smoking is more universal than with a*- The diplomatic gallery in the House of Lon Is can seat about twelve persons, u h y t’ght squeezing. There it ls first come first served, and when any memls<r of the diplomatic corps or any grade nlitaios A seat he can hold ♦l or *** e fhooses to withdraw. In toe ( oinmons it is difforeut. The gallery is scried the “ambassadors” gallery, and holds just four persons. An Ambassa dor is always entitled to a seat unless held by another Ambassador, and it has hap pened that the Minister of the United States when occupying a seat in this little box has been compelled to recognize the etiquette of the occasion by rising and surrendering his seat to an Ambassador who had come in. NOTED POLITICAL LEADERS. 0 In the House of Commons I met Mr. John Bright coming out just as I was going in. Mr. Bright, who is beginning to show his age, takes now very little interest in the proceedings, and rarely spends any time on the floor, unless there is an important divis ion impending. He makes few, if any, speeches there, as he prefers, when he wishes to make a public utterance, to do it at a clul> dinner. The Dish members, now that the land bill has been disposed of, an<i no more questions affecting Ireland are expected to come before the House for the remainder of this session, have to a great extent abandoned the benches where they have clustered so thickly for so many months past. Several of the noted Nationalist leaders were, however, present, including Sexton, Wm. O’Brien, Dillon and J. F. X. O’Brien. This last O’Brien has a record which is possessed by but one other man now living, so I was told. He was very active in the Fenian movement of twenty years since, and upon him and the other man above alluded to was pronounced that dreadful sentence of high treason—to be “hung, drawn and quartered.” It is not supposed such a sentence will ever be again pronounced by a British court. The lost time such a sentence was exi-cuted was in 1803. The sentence of O’Brien and his com panion was commuted to penal servitude for life. They were afterwards amnestied. O’Brien is now in Parliament, and his friend, who went to America, is said to be holding an office under the municipality of New York city. PROPERTY REPRESENTATION. The city of London sends 63 members to the House of Commons, or more than twice as many as the State of Pennsylvania sends to the House of Representatives. Wales sends 30 members, Scotland 73, and Ireland 103. England, outside of London, sends 403 members. I bad a long and agreeable talk with Mr. Sexton, who sits for a district in which he does not live, which is so com mon. He was telling me of the effects of the system of property representation in the election of members of the House of 'Commons, and instanced the case of a gen tleman who, having property in eight Par liamentary boroughs, had the right, and ex ercised it, to vote for eight different candi dates for the House. Another instance he spoke of, which is very remarkable, was of 3,000 electors in the city of London owning the requisite property in a remote borough setting up a jiolling booth in London, voting for one of the candidates in this borough, and electing him by their votes. There seem to be many members of the House of Commons who hold other offices. I met at least a dozen who were aldermen in their respective towns. There are about forty officers of the army who are members. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. Last night there were not at any one time more than sixty members present. At least half of these sat with their hats on, which is I>ermissible except when a member addresses the Speaker; then the hat must be removed. I suppose fully an hour was consumed by different members of the government in re plying to questions of which notice had pre viously been given by members. Their answers were all brief but to the point, and were read from manuscript. I noticed that while they were being read close attention was paid. The House then proceeded to the consideration of one of the appropriation or supply bills, as they are called. It was for the expenses of Parliament and for various of the departments. The entire amount asked to pay the expenses of the House of Lords was, in American currency, about $215,000, and for the House of Com mons about #30,000 more. The sum total of all the employes of the House of Lords of every character is less than 100, and of the House of Commons 158. Yet the House of Lords has nearly six hundred members, and the House of Commons more than 600. Some of the higher officials receive what would be called in the United States large salaries, while the subordinates are paid much less than is received by those of the same grade under Congress. A PRETTY BIG BUG. The Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, who, 1 should presume, is the sergeant-at arms of the T/irds, is a pretty big bug, so cially and otherwise. He is a Knight of the Garter and a retired admiral. He has an official residence and £2,600 per annum, but the suboidinates under him, who are the same as the messengers under tho Sergeant at-arms of the United States Senate, and of whom there are only eighteen altogether, receive only from £BO to £l7O per annum, or in some instances not half that paid the Senate mes sengers. The chief clerk of the House of Lords receives £2,300, and the chief clerk of the Commons £2,000. From these down tlie sliding scale of compensation for tlie clerks falls very rapidly, and the majority of them are not paid nearly so much as is ailowod to the clerks under Congress. While I was looking over these items with several of the members they inquired about the expenses of Congress. They were amazed and dumb founded when told that the seventy-six members of tlie United States Senate spent more public money on their employes than does tlie House of Lords, and a noble lord who just then came along fairly whistled when lie heard that each Senator had a private sec retary at the public expense. Neither house of Parliament has pages. There are proba bly a half dozen lioys who do all the waiting of this kind required for lioth houses; and they are never seen on the floor. The smoking and refreshment rooms are ex clusively for the use of members and those invited by them. And as no one can get in side the building unless through the good of fices of a peer or member, the rooms, which are spacious, are never crowded. F. A. R. SHE PARALYZED A DRUMMER. A Remarkable Woman With a Very Remarkable Tongue. From the Minneapolis Journal. A traveling man boarded a passenger train at Bismarck at sp. in. At 6p. m. lie was occupying a double seat with a plump brunette and a slim blonde, the latter of whom remarked that she was “married, but Hattie is not.” The bonded blonde was perusing a novel, one of the kind sold at two prices by the insinuating “peanut." The drummer wanted to be agreeable and pleas ant so ho asked her if she would not read a chapter or two to him. “Oh, certainly, I like to read out loud.” So she gave a synopsis of tho chapters she had read. There was a false mar riage, a hidden will, a divorce, a baby, an elopement, a fortune, a falso heir, and sev eral other nice features in the synopsis. The fair reader had a voice—one of tho sharp, piercing kind that could insinuate itself into the deaf sidoof a post. At 7 p. in. she had finished the synopsis and com menced on the remainder of tlie story. At !• p. in. she had not slipped a cog in her tongue-working machinery, und the false heir hod the upper hand. At lip. in. there had been no intermission except for a sip of alkali water, which cleared her throat. Everybody else wanted to go to sldepi but nobody could. At 1 a. in. the story was still lieing |inured into the satiated ears of the unfortunate drummer. There was now a chance for the truly good to get their reward—in the story, while the false hf ir and the drummer were getting the worst of it. At 1:90 a. m. l argo was reached. Everybody who could got off —and tho last thing that met their eyes was a paralyzed drummer, while the sibilant tones of a woman’s voice were wafted out on the still night air. "God pity that woman’s hus iiand,” growled an old liachelor in the rear seat while a maiden of uncertain age whis tiered : “Serves that odious drummer right tor flirting •> shamefully.'’ Open-front Shirts a specialty at Bclsiu cer’s. 34 Whitaker street. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. AUGUST 27, 1887. TAKEN FROM LIFE. Queer Scenes In Humanity’s Comedy tho World Over. Fiom the Buffalo Courier. A party of deep-water Baptists held a service off the Canndiau river bank, opposite the head of Grand Island, last Sunday. There were some ten or a dozen converts, mostly women. One of these was afraid of drowning, and she had her suit lined with cork from neck to heels, but she didn’t say anything about it. The service proceeded without a hitch, and it came sister Jones’ turn to be immersesd. The minister waded out into the stream, leading the sister by the hand and repeating the ritual. When they got waist deep Sister Jones had much difficulty in keeping her feet on the bottom, and the deeper she waded the more this trouble increased, but .she didn't want to say anything. AH at once, however, the current took her off her feet and threw her lengthwise on the surface of the water. The minister f rubbed hor and tried to pull her under, 'lie current was every instant dragging her out. The minister clutched frantically at the fair convert, who was herself strug gling to assume an upright position, but without success. The minister felt him self getting out of his depth and screamed for help, but no one offered to come out; the current was very swift. The minister looked around and saw that he was slipping rapidly down tlie river; ho couldn’t touch bottom. With a superhuman effort he swung himself up and seated himself on his fair raft and wildly flourished his arms to the people on shore, who were now fading into mere specks. “This is horrible,” said the minister, looking round on the waste of waters; “in three hours we’ll be over tho falls. Sister Jones, let us sing something In this trying hour.” Sister Jones, who had been emitting shrieks like a steam calliope; only shrieked the louder, and the minister struck up in a rich, tremulous tenor, “Rescue the perish ing.” He har'y hardly finished tlie first stanza when a sum yaclit hove in sight and bore down on them in response to the gestures of the minister, and in fifteen minutes they were rescued in an exhausted condition. Tho clergyman is perhaps thinking of becoming a bongregationalist, while the young convert is so baok-slidden that fears are entertained she will become an infidel. A PATHETIC INCIDENT Of the Chatsworth Horror, as Told by a Lady Survivor. From the Boston Advertiser. Mrs. Merriam Grant, one of the people wounded in the Chatsworth disaster, was in the rear car with her husband. In this car was a party of six people. In order that they might sit together, Mr. and Mrs. Grant changed seats with a young man and his bride. Their courtesy saved their livas, for the young couple were both killed. Mrs. Grant thought this party were theatrical people or concert singers, they were so jolly and sang so well. They could sing, and they laughed and told stories and antici pated the pleasure of the trip until late at night. Then Mrs. Grant com post'd herself in ner chair and covered her face with her handkerchief to go to sleep. Nearly every body in the car was quiet but the jolly party of six. About this time the young bride was requested to sing “Sweet Hour of Prayer.” Something in the desire to sleep and rest recalled tho sweet old song. The young woman sang and all listened while the train sped on. As the little gleam of devilish fire ap peared far down the track their voices swelled in: “Yet in my dreams I'd be. Nearer, my God, to Thee.” The speed of tlie train increased down the grade. Again the song swelled: “There let the way appear, steps unto heaven.” The way was already in sight. “All that Thou sendest nit, in mercy given. ” And then with but a moment of life left for each. Even when poor Ed. McClin tock’s hand was giving its last desperate wrench to the throttle of his engine the singers sang to their who seemed not to be holding them in tlie hollow of His hand: “Angels to beckon me. Nearer, my God, to Thee.” Enough. It was finished. The engines struck the frail bridge and it sank. The car containing the singers crashed like a bolt of Jove through the two cars in front of it, killing and grinding as a foot kills a worm. In the same instant, another car crashed through it and the singers were dead. Victor Hugo’s Ideal Home. From the Pall Moil Gazette. The translation into English of Victor Hugo’s most interesting prose work, “Chosen Vues,” gives additional interest to the sketch of the great poet’s ideal home published by a French contemporary, from which we take the following extracts: For a long time past Victor Hugo wished to have a house of his own instead of a rented house. He liked to talk about it, thinking that he would in it more closely unite those who were dear to him. But there was one obstacle which prevented him who had begun life a-s an “enfant sublime” and who ended it almost unaltered. Like a child he hesitated because tie did not know whether his fortune allowed him to realize his dream. He often asked, “Am I rich enough?” At the beginning of 1884 his friends decided to answer the question ac curately. They went to Rothschild's where Hugo’s money was deposited. On their return the following dialogue took place be tween the poet and Messrs. Vacquerie and Maurice ' ‘ Have you any oxaetidea as to what your fortune amounts to?” “No; but I should like to know.” “Would you be satisfied if you had 3,000,- ooof. ?” “Indeed I would; 3,000,000 is a nice sum; I should be glad if 1 had so much. ’’ “Very well, then; you have nearly 6,000,- 000 ”• Soon after the ideal home was Viegun. “1 want a large house between a court yard and a garden, and with a largo door in tlie middle,” said Victor Hugo to the architect. Tho plan being somewhat difficult to make the actual construction was delayed, anil in 1885, three months before his dcatli. Hugo frequently asked, “When are you going to build me my house?” In this house the poet pro)seed to live with M. and Mine. Lockroy and his two grandchildren, Georges and Jeanne, on the plan that he should lie strictly independent of them in his part of the house, the motto being “< 'liacun chez sol et touschez Victor Hugo.” Each party, therefore, had its own en trance, its private stairs and apartments, ami only a few rooms were common prop erty. * * * Victor lingo preferred that part of the house from which he could over look the street. M. Lockroy liked the view of the garden. Mounting Victor Hugo's stairs, you found that his rooms were of tho greatest simplicity. He has his room, his bath room, and a room for his valet; that is all. It is superfluous to describe his own room, which has been descrilied by every body, and it was still tho Kime, the only difference lieing that a valuable collection of old wood carvings had been added to it. The epilogue to tlie history of this house is that its owner died liofore It was finished.

IIIIPI “The United States Leads the World in the Art of Manufac turing Pianos.” The piano, after more than a century and a half after its invention, has become the leading instrument of music throughout, Christendom. There are at least fifty thousand men employed in their manufac ture, and us many as a hundred thousand are made every year. An average piano requires one hundred ami t wenty days of lalxir to complete it—a slow and tiresome process for the work of one man's hands, but in tier many they are still so made. Although the United Stater now turns out many thousand pianos a year, fifty-five years ago scarcely fifty wero made, annually. Almost every household now regards a piano as essential to happiness; for we have long since passed the age of simplicity of our forefathers, and the age of luxury has fairly set in—and we rejoice that it is so. AVliat a wide field is open for the manu facturer, and what inducements to carry improvements of the piano to the highest state of perfection. The variableness of our climate renders it of the first importance that, our pianos should he made in the most thorough and substantial manner, and we certainly can claim that our American pianos are (he liest in the world —Musical World. The question of the superiority of Ameri can pianos over those or foreign make is indisputably settled and needs no discussion, while in prices the odds are likewise largely in our favor. For demonstration call and examine the line of American Uprights we offer at #2lO, #225 and #'2so. They Cannot, be Matched at the Price in this or any other World. L. & B. S. M. H. DRY GOODS.
