A Rebulf for the Lrish Party.
Lonpon, Aug. 27.
In the House of Commons, in reply to Russell's motion for an adjournment of the House in order to ascertain the object of the Government in sending General Buller to Ireland, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said that he was not sent to establish martial law, but to assist the authorities to pre serve social order and to detect and punish crime. This explanation was not satisfac- factory to the Irish members who pressed the vote to a division which resulted in their defeat by a majority of 95,

i i ea _ Murdered in a Railway Car.
An inquest on the body of James Lowe, who was recently found dead in a carriage on the Midland railway train, near Leices- ter, England, develops what may prove to be a sensational case of railway murder. Lowe, who lived in Manchester, had gone to London to collect a debt of $6,000. which he had in his possession when he left Lon- den. The guard of the train bought Lowe's returning several dollars in change, mnd then locked the doors of the carriage, as Lowe expressed a wish to sleep quietly during the trip. The guard, on the arrival of the train at Leicester, found. a pistol on This induced him to look into the carriage, when he found Lowe dead on the floor of the ear- He

~ i + <—— A Potato Story.
Mr. John O’Rourke, an I. C. R. police officer at Moncton, has been reading the
ed in the Times, and all the while quietly laying back with a potato story that is cal- culated to make one’s hair curl. He is not much of a farmer, but last year obtained from the Canadian Pacific exhibition car while at Moncton a half dozen large pota- toes of the North Star and Snowflake varities. He commenced experimenting with these early last spring, and by picking off the fast ulicwntly, succeeded in getting five or six
healthy plants in some cases from a single | eye. In this way he made enough seed irom the half dozen potatoes to plant a plot of ground 34 feet long by 14 wide. Some of the stalks grew to a height of six feet, a fact testified to by several reliable gentle- | men who measured them. Two stalks were pulled up a few days ago and 14 pounds of potatoes taken therefrom. One of the potatoes filled a large vegetable dish and make a meal for six hungry men. The now average in weight from 4 pound to 1# pounds each, and it ic estimated that fully io bushels will be gathered from tue little plot, or atthe rate of several thousand bushels per acre.

Roots on the Druggist.
The town of Dedham is under prohibition law, apothecaries alone being permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants. The other day a son of the Emerald Isle entered a drug store there, and, taking a bottle from his pocket, asked for a quart of whiskey. The salesmen asked to what use it was to be put, and the reply was ‘to soak roots in.’ The order was filled, and the clerk, after handing over the bottle and its contents, inquired in a conversational manner. ‘What kind of roots are you going to soak?’ Pocket ting the bottle, the customer said, ‘The roots of me tongue, be japers!’
