[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. Milan, Italy, July 28.—Editor Telk. ait m ii : Among the most conspicuous mod 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 mer, with its unbroken surface of pave ments, walls and houses.

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.” THE LOUISVILLE EXPOSITION Opened Yesterday Under Most Favorali Anaploes— HcuIncM tsoipended, Locisvillk, Kt, August 28.—To-day has been a notable oue in Louisville, made such by tbo fact that the fourth Southern expo sition was thrown open to. the pnbiio for the fiist time, Thu etent was celebrated in * most appropriate way, and everybody enjoyed the holiday.

In Italy, as well os in Franco and other continental countries, it is tho policy ot tho governments not only to give people work, bnt to nmuso them also; and honce hero 6Ti.7 city ha- its national theatres, where the cost of admission is nominal, and freo on tho numerous holidays. Milan boasts of one of tho largest theatres in the world, which, though, inferior In size to the Grand Opera House in Paris, scats more people. The Seals Theatre is well worth a visit, for, though the exterior is not'spec ially attractive or fine, the interior is some thing strikingy different from &Dy other thi-utlT 1 i-Nfl - iw. It is constructed in the shape of a horse shoe, the stags filling tho space across tho points, and consists of a parquet, around 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 stage U eighty feet wide at tho front, one hundred deep, and about ono hundred and tu. nty in i [lit, tr -m il ..r U> ro-.f, m.d slopes forward from the rear in the foot lights; and has a sub-floor with nnmerou- trap doors and other properties for stage ef- I. eH. Th" '(■ t’Ti*’ry ilnf*. Hot slide <*r roll upon tbo floor. It works upon iron flanges, which fit into narrow steel-faced slits in the floor, and the movement is smooth and noiseless. The dresHiog rooms off to the side of the stngo are luxurious in stylo and appointment, furnished with tho most cost ly furniture, and with plato glass, mirrors, lavatories and electric lights. Tho boxes even to tho top nre elegantly furnished and phnlstcred, and every provision made for comfort except ventilation. This is a do- feet in all punllo buildings in Europe, espc civilly the older ones, the idea seeming to be that if you didn't liko tbo closo air in side you could exercise tho privilege of go- qs out of doom. Prominent among the works of art th adorn tho public ways of tho city are, first, a statue of Leonardo da Vinci by tbe cqnalh celebrated sculptor Canova, in front of tho gallery that holds the Last Supper; an equestrian statuo of Napoleon III. in the open court ot the Brera gallery, and a mon cm mt to favour, tho great Italian state man, in a square. DAPPY AND CONYKNTKD PEOPLE. This is the most thrifty and prosperous part of tho kingdom of Italy, and the peo ple all look happy and oontented. They are by no imans deficient in pbyi»ica) beauty, otul will compare favorably with tbe average population of any country in gen end nppearatico.

Friends in Genoa told me that publi street begging was cow forbidden in th cities of northern Italy, aad that even tho southern part of the kingdom, nt lto and Naples, that bot-bed of prob-Phional vagabondage, efforts were being made tc suppress too national disgrace by tbe au tborities. 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 All literary and business men in th< trios know “book English,” hut their attempts to make theory and practice do tail into a well-joined English se&tenos often ludicrous* An European never Ian at your blunders in tryng to speak lingo; be nays it is because Europeans more polite thau the wild hooaiers of We.it. I believe ills either lucaiiriH their 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 nental lupufw for an intelligent Ameri :an 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 terest, and keep them out of danger. VESUVIUS WIRE RAILWAY NOTICE.

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.

Nobody h"rc knows or cares anything about the choh ra. Tho ton lino paragraph of telegraphic news from Rome in their daily paj era, stating the number of cases and coiths is the solo evidence you can find that it exists in Italy at all. No quarantine is mantlined against tho iufeeted towns, and travel goes on uninterruptedly in every direction. I nii't A no ri« to tfurists daily just from t, Brindisi, Verona and other towns Inch have their daily lilts of mortality, and they tell mo tho disease is sporadic, and is confined to tlioao low, dirty quarters among the poorer classes, who live in damp cellars, eat stale vegetables and drink water. An American phvaician jast from Venice, ho visited the hospital* and went into tho very haunts of tho atse&se, anys tho daws of ifopli* who are dying with cholera there uvito it by their hub ta and surroundings, and it i< no more epidemic than any other that would bo produced there or •1m*where by improper food and bad air and water.

So long as tho cholera lu re is not of the m< iiguuut Asiatic type, but is spurudiodly produced by local causes, and is then fore not rtally epidcmi *, we, thou sands ot miles across tho Atlantic, need have no up, retentions. Nevertheless, it is well to keep tho house in order, and pre vent its approach by a harrier ot cltiHulino«H, the absence of which in s<» many European towns is the real cause of this and other frightful sccurges.
