Red Bank, N. J., August 21.~• Augustus
Holmes, a married negro man residing near
Freehold was brought here yesterday from
| Newark, whither be had eloped with a
dusky donlfen of lied Rank about a week
Bebide tho charge of desertion pre

The wife, when she met tho recreant
husband in court, was accompanied by two
of her children, aged 0 and 4 years respec

fidence bo had in bis case by runnin
away. [Laughter.] The more Chamber-
lain spoae the better was S.xtcn please!,
became he regarded Chamberlain as a
poHlinal IMiMipWH only reqniring to
be given stiflicient material to execute the
r.ds of public jnetice np"n himself.
[Laughter.*] Chamberlain hail condemned
Parnell's amendment as delusive in n
speech from which half a doztn confiding
conclusions could be drawn. Tho amend
ment was definite and clear. If the second
clausa were adopted, declaring that tho
British taxpayer ought not to bo plundered
for the benefit of landlords, then the gov
ernment must modify its annourioed policy
or resign. If tho first clause were adopted,
declaring the Irish tenants' case beyond
their control, as thoy were unable to
pay their rents. Lord Randolph Churchill
must forthwith withdraw his utterances,
tending to incite landlords to the adoption
of violent measures, and adopt another
measure instead of the policy of force.
[Cheers.'] Although the Queen’s speech
contained no allusion to the land purchase,
Sexton challenged Churchill to deny that
the Und purchase formed a part of tho
government's Bystem. [Cheers.] Cham
berlain. he continued, was the master of
the us. ful art of suppressing any part of
his easo which did not suit his purpose.
Such a practice waa not ealonlated to give
politician permanent ailmntsge in the
nf Ftwtlia.li oftntlpmunT thn Itntifth
eyes of EngliHli gonthounaV the British
government,being partly answerable for the
wrongdoing of tho Irish landlords,
made the laborers tbe most liberal offer
they wonid ever reooive. When that offer
waa spurned and uaed to bring discredit
npon the offerer, there were no obligations
in hoooT to renew it. If there were any
more talk about its honor, Gladstone could
doubtless ssy as Lady Teade said to
Charles Surface: 4 Had we not better leave
honor out of ihi question?’ .[Laughter.]
Certainly •GMaomo would never make
Chamberlain tbe judge or custodian of his
honor. Sexton beliewed that the Liberals
would not be a party to \he plundering of
the tenants of Ireland. [Cheers.]
Ghtfistone’j land purchase scheme
was seenrU by every penny of
pnbiio revenue of Ireland. This was a se
curity, £7,000,000 yearly, to cover the
charges of £2,000,000 yeariv. True union
would have resulted from the adoption of
that policy, and no unnatural combination
of intriguing politicizing could long delay
that union. [Cheers.] The appointing of
Gen. Bailer would not promote such union,
but would give Ireland tbe character of s
foreign country. Cbamberlaiu, despit* the
urgent condition of Ireland, was content
to wait as long as the government wished.
If Chamberlain had lived in the
time of Nero, he would have
played second ffddlo while Rome was
burning. [Great laughter.] He stid that
tbe proposed commiBsions wonid bo pro
ductive of no benefit, and wonid only deluy
dealing with pressing questions. The poli
cy of Chamberhdu waa to oppose any
amendment which could act as a vote of
censure against the government; while Lord
Randolph’s Irish policy was to draw bills
on the lnture which ho did not intend to
honor. [Cheers.] In conclusion, Btxton
rirtid that the Parnellites would counsel
IrLbmen to 6tand by each other, and not
be intimidated by any fear of combination*.
They would remind the Irishmen ihat
Gladstone’s great effort to promote peace
between the countries was supported by a
million and a quarter Britons, and that the
majority against it constated of votea only,
not of men. They would do everythirg
possible in fairneMi and justice to promote
peace, but tbev coni 1 not make themselves
traitors to Ireland by asking tho people
doriLg the coming winter to psuperixe
themselves in order to famish arguments
to their own ruin. [Cheers.]
Sexton spoke for nearly two hours.
Chamberlain entered tne House shortly
after S?xton comaencod and remaintd un
til he had finished.
Parnell's amendment was rejected by •
▼ole of 3(H to 181.
Lord Uartington, Chamberlain and the
Unionists supported tbe government. Sir
William Vernon Hareoort abstained from
voting, and Mr. Morley voted with the mi
nority. Tbe an» ounccment of the result
caused little excitenimt.
}< ars Ago, when her first-born wa< but a
> ear old, the father, in a fit of rago, seized
‘beinfant by tho heels and dashed it head
long on the floor; that, afraid of her life,
she called in no medical aid, but nursed
the child’s wounds herself. Since the child
was injured it has not spoken a word, and
shows no signs of Intelligence. Tut* child
now, at 0 years of age, is a crippled dwarf
and an imbecile. Five yeaw later the
unnatural father seized another child by
tbe legs, whirled it around his bead, and
thTew it against tbe wall,breaking one of the
child’s legs in two places m«d fearfully in
juring it otherwise. To-duy,at 4 years of age,
Drs Fret man nod Conover pronounce the
child, with its distorted, unset leg, a hope
less cripple for life.
A year ego another child was born. The
man still continued his acts of cruelty to
ward his wife up to a few weeks ago, when
he seized tho one-year-old infant from its
mother’s lap and dashed it to the floor,
breaking the little one’s arm. The woman
at last feared no vengoance yom her hus
band’s hands, ami her screams aroused the
neighborhood. Holmesfftd like a cowardly
dulprit, but when the neighbors came in re
sponse to the wom^m’s cries, tho mother
hid her child's injuries and explained mat
ters by saying that ber husband bad at
tempted to strike her. Not until sho found
that her husband had deserted her, taking
with him another woman, did she impart
her terrible tale to the authorities.
During the few moments Holmes was in
eonrt, the gro&test excitement prevailed,
'and, had it not been for tho admonitions of
a number of cool-headed men, a rope and a
tree would have ended tho accused man’s
career. Holmes for safety was sneedily re
manded to the strong conflnos of tho eonrt
house jail to stand trial in October.

ern improvements of tho capital of Lom
bardy was tho laying out of the beautiful
park which adorns the eastern side, upon
tho site of what was for years a marshy and
unsightly and filthy flat, tho sink being
filled up by King Victor Emanuel, and a
park of rnro beauty planted upon the now
mado soil. Besides this there arc a few
otlicr smaller areas of trees in tho city. In
side the city walls is an elegant boulevard,
shaded with double rows of trees, running
all around npon the site of tho old walls,
which were demolished. Apart from these,
Milan fs singularly devoid of trees, and,
naturally, the city is very’ warm in sum

OCHILTREE ON THE CUTTING CASE
Caae—What

Colonel “Tom” Ochiltree ran down from
S.,r ill'.’ I Vf-t, nlu\ t" i'inhis fte-nd Mr.
“Ed" Stokes, of tlie Hoffman, in u trip t
l May in Ibe latter'., yacht, “Tbe Fra
itfcvole." I ii t tho genial ex-'
morning ami asked what ho thunght of this
difficulty which one of bis old friends in
tbe Lone Shut State bad got into.
You mean that Cntting affair'/" He
asked. “Why we haven’t any case at all,
and this country will have to do just wbst 1
said it would do when Bayard began to talk-
ing war. We will have to back down.
No, sir, our Secretary of State bos led this
country into a great blonder. 1 think bo
■ies it now."
How would tbe United State* fare in
w*r with Mexico/” I asked.
It wouldn’t be any holiday for us now,
I can assure you. It wonid coot the United
State* SOU, 1 00 ii-es and 100 times that many
dollars to go to war with Mexico. Even
then I doubt if onr armies would have an
easy time of it You must remember that
fighting the Mexico of to-day U not fighting
the Mexico of 1818, when that country was
torn by home revolutions, with no stable
government and with an immenso number
of people opposed to a war witli tbs States.
We hear them all called “Greasers" up thi.
way, but I want to tell yon that they are
mighty touch figh'era. They luv<- had
forty years of almost continuous war since
we whipped them, and in that time they
have stood np mentally against opposing
armies that far outnumbered them. Dur
ing the Maximilian war they fought hand
to hand, from house to house, before they
gave up a town. The only way to conquer
them would be to kill them. Tbcro is an
utberdifioreuce between now and 1818. Mex
ico has plenty of credit abroad and ready
money too, for that matter, for a war. En-
f jltiud, G- rniany and France would make
eans just to keep up the warlike feeling
agaiuat this country, so as to retain their
buhl on the commerce of Mexico.”

It is constructed in the shape of a horse

which rise to the lofty ceiling six tiers of
boxes, there being no areas circle nor bal
conies open in other theatres,bnt tho whole
of tho six circles or galleries being divided
into boxes, with doors at tho rear upon tbe
external condors. The seating capacity ot
the parquet and these six tiers ot boxes is
3,600, tbe second largest in tho world. The

POLITE ITALIANS,
The Italians are more polito and obliging
than their neighbors, tho French, attom-l
lag though it may sound. French polit
ness appears artificial and selfish; tho Itai
ian variety appears more sincere, cordi
and disinterested. Their language has
musical cadeuco and rhythm to foreigners'
ears, and sounds much more pleading than
either French or German. One of tho chief
sources of amusement to moet Am*
and to me in particular, is to listen to th
attempts of the Europeans to talk Englis

sense of tbe ludicrous is not susceptible of
that hyh degree of cultivation possessed by
Americans* or cbiefiy because it is impossi
ble from the nature of the himpler conti

to make such awfully funny mistaken as
uneducate<l foreigners do when wrestling
with the elusive nlilitletie* of the I'nit* I
States language. The sen.-e of humor
reaches its highest development only in
the active cranium of the American;
for tbe F.nglishm&n is far more
stnpii than bis neighbors acrosa the channel
in matters humorous; indeed, accordihu' to
Barnum, who has tried to arouse John Bull,
the only way to get a joke into au English
man's head was to bore a hole and drive it
in with a hammer.
Therefore, it is that Americans get more
fun out of life than their Km w ide-awak
neighbors, und oft'-n split thei
comical expressions iu broken English
which have no counterpart, in other form
from the upper terminus of the railway
to the crater to point out the objects of in

THE DIRECTION.
Upon the b..ck of a letter f received in
London from a party in a city of Italy was
this request: “Please, if it is travel to
America, to return this on tho stamped,”
meaning, if not called for, please return to
writer. 1 But one of the most laughable
things in this lino I heard occurred to a
party, of which I was one, in a hotel in
Paris. As only ono or two of us spoke any
French, a waiter, said to ho an artistic mur
derer of English, was assigned to do us the
honors of the table. Ho was very talkative,
aud explained the merits of the various
dishes on tho loug bill of faro wo were dis
cussing. Handing a dish of pickled pigs’
feet h»> said; “Ztientclmcn, dee« oeh a ver
tine deesh: will you have some of foot-
peeg?" Tho explosion that followed this
remark con better bo imagined than de
scribed; it nearly throw the Frenchman off
his feet and broke up the dinner party.
CHOLERA AND DIRT.
