I Poetry. I r,J'A. I ODE TO ZOEDOXE. 011 thou whose name halt Latin and half Greek Kccidls the classic light of othet days, When Home was strong and all men else were weak, When Attic wit the soul of mirth could raise, And Saopho loved—whose words seem still to speak- And Ovid wrote in hard! • proper ways, Almost methinks [ could not love thee more Wert tlioa pure Greek, and christened Zoedore. No, for indeed thy hybrid name is best, Nince modern v. eakiiugs by thy kindly aid Are strong as tli.,se who bore Rome's eagle crest Over a vanquished world and men most staid And dullest w tted flash forth many a jest, Sparkling with" Attic salt "—till we are made To think we've Aristophanes before us, Only, of course, grown rather more decorous. Life giving Drink I Sure, the Olympian Gods Took at their feasts full cups of only thee Borne round by Hebe- while poor mortal clods .-Soddened their souis with gr.) s distillery So bat we (jualf thee it will make no odds How old, how poor, liovv desti.ute we be, We all shall live in a most heavenly manner, And, if we wish, outrival Doctor Tanner. Thon art the very nect ir, whose bright spring flowed in clear lclior through immortal veins, Ktherial essence whence-as poets sing— TJ¡"y kept eternal youth and free from pains And tliou-iiut lire--wast certainly the thing Prometheus stole fro:n heaven, for all our gains— What time, to clay-formed man (who then alone Was needing life), he gave thee- -Zoedoiie. Wiie Venus heard Pygmalion's frenzied prayer. Who longed for life in that, sweet marble iiiiii(I His own fair sculpture—fashioned all so rare, So love compelling that his love obeyed— The Gjddess answered him with kindly care, And gave him—though 'tis not expressly said— A tlask of Zoedone then with small strife The marble was expanded into life. That line is partly Byron's, but no.'matter, My verses for the most part are my own Such honesty is scarce when comic chatter Has one tap root—the Sporting Tintes itloiie- And all men draw on it lint she then at her First taste of life thanked thee, great Zoedone, Who gav'st her warmth iiiul iove without dissension, And sundry other tilings 1 need not mention. Oh care destroyer -thee the s liking soul Welcomes in gladness. Thou dispersest woe And, be our fancy cold as the No th Pole, Liglitly thou tiiest us with amorous glow, Most potenc Piniter Theil if 'tis our rob:, To wuisper Xoa mou scis agapn" Xo Zoe and no Culoe will resist us- Thou'lt give us any one whose charms cpli-it v. By thee the Girwra's mind may be sublimed, And Coilett's Wizard kea will keener grow, Teetotal Gnbhins can by thee be primed, Old Abe's prophetic soul more winners know, I The Pote will rhyme as he ne'er yet has rhwned, And each mail's copy siiail with wir o'erflow, Tiil through the wori-t thy magic power is shown, Drill!: of tiii Cfods immortal Zoedone.

I MIDDLESBOROUGH, Tuesday.—The market has been rather brisk to-day, with a large number of buyers anxious to purchase from now to the end of the year, but sellers were slow about accepting the prices offered. The general quotation for prompt deliveries of No. 3 to-day was 42s net, and sales were made at that figure, also at 41s Pd and 41s Gd. Connal's warrant stores to-day contained 03,3000 tons of Cleve- land pig. A fair demand was reported for finished and prices were unchanged from la-t week, except in the case of sheets and ang-le-the former are new £7 15s, the latter 25 15s less discount. As usual, iron- founders were doing poorly, and some portion of works have had to be closed. WOLVEHHAMPTON, Wednesday.—The galvinisers are taking sheets as fast as they can be rolled. Makers demanded to-day £8 for singles and ki) 10s for doubles, but less was occasionally accepted. Orders for hoops were not easy to get, still makers continue busy, and American inquiries are numerous. Competition in hoops is keen, but the market price was k6 15s to 97. Pigs are not selling freely, yet a few makers are in- creasing their output. All-mine pigs were 70s, and hematites SOs. Furnace coal is and forae coal 6s 6d.

Liversage, Acton. Soon after four o'clock the prizes to the suceess. ful competitors were distributed by the Hon. Mrs Kenyon, who was accompanied by the Hon. G. T. Kenyon and Miss Leche. On the platform, during the presentation, were The Mayor and Mayoress (Mr and Mrs Smith), Lady Cunliffe, Misses G-riffith- Boscawen, Rossett; Mrs White, General Towns- hend, Dr. and Mrs Eyton-Jones, Mr Yorke, Mrs and Miss Yorke, Erddig Mr Edisbury, Mr Walter Jones, Dr. Williams, Mr Ralph, Mr and Mrs Dixon, Acton Mr and Mrs Evans and party, Bronwylfa, &c. i At the close of the distribution, the Chairman of the lfower show committee said their now devolved upon him an exceedingly pleasant part of his day's t duty, and that was to propose a most hearty, cordial, and sincere vote of thanks to Mrs Kenyon for having so kindly come mongst tl%m to present the prizes upon that occasion, (Applause.) As they had already been kept there some time, he would not for one moment attempt to mfhct a j spceeli up?n them, but would content himself by simply stating that it was the express wish of the committee that a most hearty vote of thanks should be presented to Mrs Kenyon for her kindness, and he hoped those present would all join in its expres- sion. (Cheers.) Mr Ll. Lloyd had muc h pleasure in seconding the resolution, which, having been heartily carried, The Hon. G. T. Kenyon, in briefly acknowledg- ing the compliment, said on behalf of Mrs Kenyon he begged to thank them for the very cordial and; kind manner in which they had supported the vote ?.Of thanks which had been proposed and seconded. He was sure it had gi ven Mrs Kenyon and himself much gratitication to be present that day, as indeed it al ways did to come to Wrexham, particularly on a bright sunny day when the plants were all in full blossom and everything looked charming, beautiful, and bright. (Hear, hear.) It had given them great pleasure to see so many successful candidates, and lie hoped they would be all satisfied with the adjudications and would be willing to show another year, and, if possible, carry off more prizes than they had done on the present occasion. On behalf I of Mrs Kenyon he again begged to thank them for the kind manner in which the vote of thanks to her had been proposed and carried. (Applause.) I He had now got to add that the pleasing duty had been committed to his hands of proposing a vote of thanks to the presi- dent, secretary, and committee of the Society for their untiring labors in connection with so good and praiseworthy an object, and for their success- ful efforts in bringing the show to so happy a con- clusion. (Applause.) As some of them were aware, the committee were this year in some little trepidation owing to the exceedingly unpropitious character of the weather last year, a fact which had to some extent diminished their receipts and it must therefore be a source of great satisfaction to them to have so good an attendance on the pre- sent occasion. (Hear, hear.) He hoped they would not be in a state of trepidation again, but that, on the contrary, they might feel satisfied that the Wrexham Flower Show was now fairly lauded, and had become, in fact, a hardy perennial. (Cheers.) The Mayor seconded the vote of thanks, and said he was sure those who had made an inspection of the tents could only come to the conclusion that the labors in which the committee had been cn- gaged bad been most successfully carried out. (Hear, hear.) The committee must, however, feel themselves well repaid by the large attendance of visitors present, and he thought they might well congratulate themselves that the present year's exhibition was the most successful flower show ever held in 'rexham. (Applause.) Mr Walter Jones, in returning thanks on behalf of the committee, said he was extremely obliged to the Hun. George Kenyon and their worthy Mavor, for their kind expressions in regard to the commit- ter, and on behalf of the members of the commit- te,he begged to tender their heartfelt thanks. As they might conceive, it was no easy iiiatter- it was no joke—to undertake and carry out the management of an exhibition of this character, and he could truly say that the com- mittee had all worked hard and well to ensure its success. (Hear, hear.) Last year, they would remember, the clouds lowered and the rain descended, and the consequence was that they were unfortunately stranded in a financial deficit, but they hoped this year that owing to the beauti- ful weather, and consequently lar7,,er attendance, to be afloat again, and to be able to set the ship on the sea and give them another show next year- (applause)—for had another deficit occurred, the show would have been obliged to have been diseon- tinned. One great point in connection with the success of a show was to have what, in platform oratory, was termed an indefatigable secretary such as the Wrexham committee certainly possessed, but Mr Shirley's innate and character- istic modesty, which he carried about with him every where -(Iaugliter) -had compelled him to seek refuge in the secretary's tent—(renewed laughter)—and he (the speaker) had been commis- sioned to return thanks upon his behalf. (Cheers.) He wished to include in the vote of thanks those ladies who had assisted in the judging. They should have more funds at their disposal next year, and he therefore hoped to excel if possible the present year's show, which, however, had been pronounced by all who had seen it to be the very best flower show ever yet held in Wrexham. He again begged to return thanks on behalf of the Committee. (Ap- plause. ) Dr. Eyton-Jones said he had very great pleasure in seconding the vote of thanks to those ladies who had acted in the capacity of judges upon that occa- sion, and he was deputed to mention especially the ability Mrs White had exhibited in adjudicating on the butter. (Cheers and laughter.) Before concluding our report we must not forget to notice the band of the Indefatigable training ship, which marched to the ground immediately on their arrival in Wrexham, and acquitted themselves most creditably in their excellent performance of the subjoined programme of dancing and concerted music ;— MORNING CONCERT.

Imperial Parliament, j I- I I- I HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. The Ground Game Bill was read a first time, the second reading being fixed for Monday. Lord liedesdale gave notice that on 'the motion for the second reading L? ?tn?n!J move the rejection of the bill. The report of the amendments to the Employers' Liability Bill were brought up and asrreed to. HOUSE OF CO-UMOXS.-FRIDAY. The Irish members carried out their threat to do all in their power to obstruct the vote of the item in the Irish estimates for the maintenance of the con- stabulary. The result was that the sitting which commenced at four o'clock on Thurs- day. The Irish members persisted alternately moving that progress be reported. In the end, Lord llartington, on the assurance of Mr Parnell and his followers that the other votes in the estimates would be allowed to pass unchallenged if another evening were given for the discussion of the Irish constabulary system, consented to progress being reported, and the sitting was adjourned shortly before one o'clock, as already stated. The house re-assembled at 2.1.>, and, after a series of questions had been replied to by minsters, another discussion was raised on the Ground Game Bill, on the motion for the third reading. Mr Newdegate, Mr Chaplin, and other members of the Opposition reiterated their threadbare argument that the bill interfered with the freedom of contract. On a division, there was a majority of 78 for the third reading. The motion for going into com- mittee on the Burials Bill, being met by an amend- ment proposed by Mr Egerton, was under discussion when the time for adjournment arrived, the sitting being suspended at five minutes to seven o'clock. On the house resuming for the evening sitting, the Irish estimates were proceeded with. HO U S-U OF COMMOJNS.—SATCRDAY. The House sat on Saturday afternoon to pass the Burials Bill through Committee, the debate being taken up at the point where it was broken off at the suspension of Friday morning's sitting. The bill passed through committee, but not till the restrictive amendments attached to it in the House of Lords had been eliminated. It was ordered for report on Tues- day. The Expiring Laws Continuance Bill was read a second time. The Marquis of Hartington stated that vote by ballot, included in this bill, would be dealt with in a separate bill next session. Lord Plunket's Indemnity Bill, he having voted in the House of Peers without having taken the oath, was I' passed through all its stages, the Irish members with- drawing their opposition to it. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. Earl Granville gave some details of the measures taken by the Powers to induce the Porte to carry out their decisions as to the Montenegrin and Greek fron- tier questions. The Powers had under consideration their rejoinder to the second note of the Porte on the Montenegrin question, and in the meantime they were I making preparations for a naval demonstration. The rendezvous of the men-of-war of the different Powers is to be Ragusa, as it is within easy distance of the Montenegrin coast. The Powers not only maintain their concert as to the Montenegrin and Greek ques- tions, but they have agreed to present a joint note to the Porte on the subject of reforms in Armenia. The Grain Cargoes Bill was read a second time without opposition. The Earl of Kimberley then moved the second reading of the Ground Game Bill. The Earl of Redesdale moved the rejection of the Bill. The Earl of Beaconsfield being of opinion that the occa- sion was neither a wise nor a worthy one on which to resist the House of Commons, recommended that the bill should be allowed to go into committee, where it might be greatly modified. After some discussion, the second reading was agreed to by G8 votes against j 20. HOUSE OF COMMOXS.—MONDAY. The Marquis of Hartington informed Sir H. D. Wolff that it appeared, from the accounts received from the political officers at Candahar, that an in- quiry is in progress as to who is responsible for the disaster to General Burrows' brigade. The Secretary for India also stated to the House the purport of a telegram received from General Roberts. The Attorney-General, in reply to Mr S. Hill, said that commissions of inquiry into the corrupt practices at the late election would be issued for Canterbury, Chester, Boston, Macclesfield, Knaresborough, Gloucester, Oxford, and Sandwich. On the House going into committee of supply, the sum for the maintenance of the Irish constabulary was again the subject of debate, the Irish members renewing their opposition to it. Eventually the sum was voted, only 29 members opposing it on a division. Subsequently the committee stage of the estimates for the year was completed. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY. The Bill by which it is proposed to clear off by means of terminable annuities the deficits on the accounts with the trustees of savings banks was read a second time. The Employer's Liability Bill was read a third time, after a vain attempt by Lord Stanley of Alderley to have the eliminated third sub-section of the 1st clause re-inserted. The Grain Cargoes Bill passed through committee unopposed. The House then went into committee on the Ground Game Bill. On the motion of Lord Aveland a sub-section was added so the 1st clause providing that the occupier himself or one other person should be entitled to kill ground game with firearms. An amendment, moved by the Earl of Ilchester, making from March to August a close time, was also carried. The Earl of Feversham proposed to alter the wording of the third clause, so as to enable the landlord and tenant to make mutual arrangements with regard to the killing of ground game, but after some discussion, and acting on the recommendation of Earl Beaconsfield and others, he withdrew the motion. The Bill passed through committee without any further important amend- ments, and the report was ordered to be taken on Wednesday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. In the morning sitting the Postmaster-General, replying to a question, said it had been decided to ap- ply the system of open competition to the appoint- ment of female clerkships in the savings banks and other departments of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin postoffices. The Marquis of Hartington, in reply to Sir John Hay, said the English Government had sent three flagships and one other ironclad to Ragusa, but it was impossible for him to say at present what instructions had been given by the other powers on this subject to the officers commanding their fleets, Mr Shaw Lefevre made a brief statement as to the condition of the navy, which he said had never been in a more satisfactory state. It was able to meet any combination of foreign navies that could possibly be brought against it; and therefore, and owing to the rapid progress and changes in guns, and to the prob- able further development of the torpedo, the Admiralty had decided to proceed with deliberation in the construction of new ironclads. Captain Price thought this a dangerous policy, but Mr W. 11. Smith, speaking from his own official experience, an- proved it, and t;ie subject then ilrMr Cotirtliov raised a. discussion on South African affairs by protest- ing against the auiie-vatioii of Transvaal, and urging 1 that the Boer Republic should he restored. After speeches by Sir M. H. Beach and Mr Grant Duff the debate was adjourned, on the motion of Sir George CampbeIL the time havin arrived for the suspension of the sitting. Mr Grant Durf, in his speech replying to a question which had been put to him as to the cost of the wars in South Africa during the latter part of Lord Beaconsiield's administration, said the Zulu war cost £3,13ï, S73, while the other two wars had cost respectively £ ~>13,1ST> and 6520,003, the colony only repaying f 10,000. The debate on South African affitirs was resumed at the evening sitting. HOUSE OF LORDS.—WKUXESDAV. i The Lords sat on Wednesday, and passed the Savings' Banks Bill through Committee, and agreed to the reports of amendments to the Grain Cargo Bill and to the Ground Game Bill.. The bill to assimilate the electoral registration law of Ireland with that of England and Scotland was rejected on the motion for the second reading. It was arranged that the Commons' amendments' to the Burials' Bill should be considered on Saturday. Lord Spencer incidentally mentioned that the Government expects that Parlia- ment will be prorogued on Tuesday. t HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. I On the motion of the Attorney-General, addresses to the Crown were agreed to s>rayi:i.: for the appoint- I ment of commissions more effectually to inquire j lito I I I me corrupt practices reported by the judges to have | prevailed ar. the last election for Gloucester, Oanter- J ^ury> Ohester, Macclesfield, Knaresborough. Boston. Oxford, and Sandwich. 011 the motion for the second j reading of the Appropriation Bill, Mr A. O'Connor moved its rejection, on the ground that there had been I no redress ot Irish grievances this year. Mr Parnel! I ured the Secretary for Ireland to attach to the Bill the eighth clause of the Irish Registration Bill which had just been thrown out hv the Lords. Mr Forster declined to act oil Mr Parnell's -ug_;estion, hut pro- niised that the Government would introduce the lush iregistration Bill next session, in time to ensure its early appearance in the Upper House. In conse- quence of the opposition offered by the Lish m-n- ùer", the debate was not conclude.! at the time the House adjourns on Wednesdays, ;Uid the second reading of the Appropriation Bill was therefore de- ferred till Thursday. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THI;RSDAY. Un tne motion for the second reading of the Irish (Relief of Distress) Loans Bill, Lord Redesdale com- plained of what he described as the insulting language i used toward ?? that House by members of the Hou.se of Commons. To say that Parliament h?d neglected the interests of Ireland was, in his opinion, "utterly and j entirely false. to i'1 discussing observations mad e in the House of Commons he was infringing everv principle of order, "-) l and he then confined himself to defending the rejection by tiil- Bill and other measures. Earl Granville replied that, to say ni)tliiii.L,,abo.-it tiil! Compen^at-kui lliii, tiu? suuiuiary j rejection of two Bills intended to assimilate tlie tnv of Ireland to that of England was likelv to have an I J-J^fortuuate impression, and the subject then dropped, J he Ground Game Bill was read a third time and j | passed, after an ineffectual attempt by Lord Hardinge to limit the close time to hares. The Savings II Banks Bill, the Grain Cargoes Bill, and the Assaults ati d tile i?,SSau l ts j on Young Persons Bill. were also read a third time and passed.—Lord Strathnairn again attacked, and Lord Chelmsford defended, the tactics pur.-ne-.I in the Zulu i campaign.i^arl Spencer, in reply to a question, ?ve some information as to the measures taken by the Government in reference to the importation from I America of cattle sntferin? from splemc apoplexy. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. ?'? H?'Hn?oi), rep!y!n? to another question hy Sir H. D. Wolff on the subject, ?at,ed that all the in- formation the Government had as Yet received as to the circumstance^ uuder which General Burrows'.s brigade had been ordered t > ad vance to the Helnmnd. Mr Doilson, replying to a question by Mr Watkin Williams, said the ext oi-don of the facilities for ob- taining land for local public purposes by a less expensive process than the present one by act of Parliament was a matter to which the system of provistona! orders adv.-mt-i genu-dy extend- ed, and he would look into the matter. Mr Dilon said that he had received so many threatening letters that he must ask Government what steps it proposed to take for his protection in the performances of his iatneiitti,y duties. Lord Cinnchill said that he also had received threatening letters, and he, to,) asked for protection. Lord Hartington replied that he believed the provisions of the common law would prove sufficient protection for the members of the house. Mr Pat nell promised to act on a suggestion by the Marquis of Hartington, that, instead of attempting to tack the rejected Irish Registration Bill on to the Appropriation Hill, lie should propose a resolution declaring the opinion of the Commons and the duty of the Government as to the Peers' rejection of that measure. The English and Scotch Census Bills were read a. third time. Captain Aylmer attempted to have introduced into the English bill a clause for obtaining a record of the religious views of the people. The amendment was opposed by Mr Bright and others, and rejected on a division. The Lords' amendments to the Employers' Liability Bill were considered. Lord Brabourne's ititieiidinetit striking out the third sub-section of the first clause was disagreed with. The amendment limiting the oper- ation of the bill to 1882 was altered so as to extenp 1 the time to 1887.

AGRICULTURE. THE CORN TRADE.—The Mark Lane ?<'?/'<?? says-I Three consecutive weeks of altogether favorable weather have afforded farmers every facility for reaping and securing the cereal produce of the coun- try, and in a few early districts harvest has been brought to a successful termination. Great progress has also been made in Scotland and Ireland. Some quantity of English wheat has already been marketed, and from the appearance of the samples the grain is of good quality. At Mark-lane last Monday a fair clearance was made of new samples, at prices ranging from 44s to 48s for white, and 43s to 45s for red sorts. A similar range of values has prevailed in the country markets. Although slightly improved by the news of lighter shipments cabled from America, the demand for foreign wheat in London has been for the most part inactive throughaut the week, and Monday's de- cline has not been recovered. Barley has changed hands very slowly, while a fair amount of activity has been observable in oats, considering that the arrivals of the past month have exceeded 417,000 quarters. The strong resistance to any advance in maize referred to last Monday has continued."
