AN ANTI-HOME RULER.

Tie Man Wbo Caused Mr Healey to Violate Parliamentary Kulcs.

JIAJOB SaKDEESOK is one of the droll and grotesque figures of British politics. If it ffere proposed to select an Under-Secretory for the Angel Gabriel for a function to bo performed on a cc- tain great clay, the gal lant Major would modestly accept a nomina tion to that post, because he believes in tho literal interpretation of the Scriptures, and because he lias a voice which would serve jn lieu of a trumpet. The Major is about fifty years old. By his wife lie is connected with the family of Lord Ventry, whose an cestor in that title was one of the cavpet bafffers who soJrl out the Irish Parliament jnTsOO for a title. The Major comes more honestly by his own, for he served in the Koyal Irish Fusiliers long enough to carry tie boisterous department oi' the camp into Parliament, lie is a landlord with a fat 'rentroll in county Cavan. For that county he sat in the House as a Liberal for nearly ten years prior to 1874. The axe of Nationalism clove tho parties in Ireland so straight that only two remained, Rationalists and Tories. It was impossible for the gallant Major to become a supporter of the Pope, which was, in his mind, another way of becoming a supporter of Parncll; and, having determined to come back to Parliament, he classified himself with the ■Tories. lv tho general election of two years ago he sought a scat in North Armagh, where any Tory was sure of election. Major Saunderson is a clever and capable, an honest and not ungenial man, really livin"1 in the conviction that? the holiest being that ever trod this earth since the days' of the Nazarene was King Billy (William of Orange); that tho most sancti fied symbol next after the cross is the Orange lily; that the highest claim the Queen has upon the allegiance of her subjects is her Dutch lineage"; and that if Home Rule 'should be granted in Ireland the Pope would be found sailing up the Bay of Dublin with a retinue to establish himself "inDublin Castle and make Ireland llie base 'of operations for conquering the United Kingdom. Major Saunderson believes all this, and he believes, furthermore, in gore. He shouts gore in the House, with shrewd re gard for Parliamentary rules ; ho trickles vgore from the lips all the time that he i.s in Ireland, whether acting as magistrate in CSyan or speaking as a member for •North Armagh. He had declared that Ulster should be bathed in gore if the Nationalists invaded it with Home Rule ■banners; and he did his best to carry iraV that assurance, for he egged on Loid Eossniorc in the bloody forays not "hi\ ioigotten, and he was one of the ""first to denounce the Government for removingthat pious ruffian from the magis tracy after he had done all in his power to create civil war in Ulster. Major Saunder Bon is willing that Catholics shall live in the south of Ireland in peace, provided they Eive up all political rights. The violence of is harangues has repeatedly put the House into convulsions. He would put all Ireland , into a convulsion were he made Under Sec retary. London Correspondent to the "Xew York Sun."

Alsace-Lorraine's Answer to Bismarck.

Eiiiiio Castelak, the eminent Spanish statesman, writes thus of the action of Alsace-Lorraine in the recent Gorman elec tions : " Nothing that has occurred in Germany during and since the last election has produced so deep an impression on Europe as the marvellous unanimity with which Alsace-Lorraine has once again pro nounced in favour of France. Ever since Venice protested so vehemently against the Austrian Empire, there has not been, in the history of Europe, a parallel to such an atti tude. But Venice, enslaved by a monstrous treaty, was powerless to give utterance to her feelings or to make such a forcible dem onstration as that of Alsace-Lorraine during the recent elections. It proves that al though Bismarck lias conquered the terri tory, he has not conquered the spirit of the people bound by indissoluble ties to the mother country. In vain has tho empire Bought to reduce them by all manner of flattery, and to make up for the loss of their beloved nationality by the splendour of her imperial protection. The people of Alsace-Lorraine answer back that their chains are none the lighter for being over laid with gold, but, on the contrary that for this very reason they are more galling and hard to'bear. If Strasburg the Learned, Metz tho Strong, and Mulhous the Labor ious have all protested in tho same lan guage, ib is because they share the same teelings."

A Queer Parisian Ball

The ball of the Incoherents took placo recently. It was the final one, the organ isers of that maddest and merriest of the Bohemian festivities of Paris having decided to close the series before the mirth should commonplace, and while yet the repa ration of the organisation for wild wit and headlong fun was at its height. Some of toe'eostumes were exceedingly droll. One young man went as a window curtain, with todandrings and cords all correct. Another Personated a reading table, with a lamp Ehaaeon his head, while the table, with its j£een-cloth cover, encircled his waist. A ""id went as a toilet-table, with an °val mirror on his breast, and tho rest 0 him shrouded in draperies of pinlc fed muslin and cotton lace. There was a Tour Eiffel in wood, arranged like a pair 01 lazy tongs, so that the wight who was Sconced inside could shoot it up to a 'pat height or lower it at pleasure. The le«ale element, unfortunately, was con- Wnonsly lacking, as ladies, even of the do not care to wear comic dis fw» in which no charms, either of face i" r "gure, are of much avail. Tho great success.of the cvenino- was accorded to a of " earthquakes," a party of young ?™ who were attired in overcoats, crush *«( r night.gowns and drawers, while each , J:.roein 'carried a black leather handbag. , n6 realism and appropriateness of the p«se called forth much laughter and ap '{ye. and so the last of the Incoherent m* came to a merry end. —'' Paris Letter."
