XI. 1g WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1858. A QUESTION ANSWERED. A correspondent inquires how Lord Jobn Russell bears a peer’s title, he being no peer, but a member of the Commons House of Par- linment? As the answer may supply infurma- tion to more than one person, we give it. In Ergland there are upwards of four thou- sand persons who enjoy titles by courtesy. These are the sons and daughters of living or deceased peers, and, in some cases, their grand- children or collateral relatives. This will ac- count for the great number of persons who are called ** Lord,’ or “ Lady,”’ or ‘* Honorable.”* =e Peer is called *‘ Right Honorable,” and no other person is entitled to that prefix, un- less he be a meimber of the Privy Council Though a member of the Honse of Commons is eyoken of as “my honorable friend,” or the honorabie gentlemen, he is not addressed as such oat of that House. Thus the present Chancellor of the Exchequer was plain Benja- min Disraeli, Esq , until he was sworn in as member of the Privy Council, when he became “The Right Honorable Benjamin Disraeli.’ In other words, neither a seat in the House, nor any official status, makes a man “ Honor- able” in England. Noble birth alone confers it—the direct descendants of Peers exclusively r ing it. Lord John Russell is youngest son of the late Duke of Bedford. Strictly speaking, he is not entitled to have “‘ Lord’’ prefixed to his Chris- tian namo, and the official announcement, in the London Gazette, of his being elected to sit in the House of Commons would run, “the Right Honorable John Russell, commonly ealled Lord John Russoll.”” If he were not a Privy Councillor, ho would be plain “John Russell, Esquire.’ Courtesy gives him the prefix of “Lord.” The sons and daughters of a Duke or of a Marquis are entitled (by courtesy) to be called ** Lords of Bedford John Russell,’ and the Marquis of Anglesea’s Youngest son is - Lord George Paget.’ The younger children of Earls, Viscounts, and Bar- ons are simply “ He * son ot a Dake ts. if a minor, called after his fath- ers next highest title—as the Marquis of Tay- istock is the eldest son of the Duke of Bedford, and of the Marquis of Anglesea is Earl of Ux- bridge. An Earl’seldest son generally is ealled after the Viscounts—as Viscount Stuart is eld- est eon of the Earl of Castle Stuart. So with Viscounts--as Baron Hill is eldest son of Vis- count Hill. The zon of an * Honorable’ would be plain* Mr.” Although a Duke's son, with a courtesy title, Lord John Russell is conside: a Commoner, and cannot sit in the Upper House. unless be were made a Peer. He sits in the House of Commons by election; and has done se, with- out intermission, since IS13, when, at the ma- ture age of twenty-one, he was “elected” for the borough of Tavistuck, belonging to his father! There is a great anomaly in permitting sons of peers—even eldest sons, who will inherit the ———— sit in the misealled Commons’ {louse of Parhament, iu which. unless the name he a mockery and cheat, the People ought to be represented—for. it is impossible bui that these courtesy “Lords” and * Honorables’”’ Tust generally speak and vote in favor of the Aristocracy, to which birth and predilections attach them. "If noblemen’s sons were declared ineligible to sit in the Commons, England would be better represented than she As for Lord Palmerston, he is an Irish peer. with no right to sit in the British Huuse of Lords; is eligible to a scat in the Commons, and, indeed, bas been in that House ever since 1807.—Phil. Press. ———_-—_+1+e-— EcectiosgenixG.—In Harper's Magazine a aceno is described as having occurred in a can- vaas in Tennessee, between the Hon.Cave John- son and MajorGustavusA. Henry. As the story runs, Major H., in reply to the allusion of bis —— as to his manner of shaking hands sail: “I will tell you a little angcdote illustrative of the peculiar electioneering abilities of my hon- orable friend in his intercourse with our intelli- gent constituents. We were canvassing in a remote part of the district and having an ap- pointment to speak near the house of a very in- fluential Squire, we spent the previous night at his house together. It was well known that the Squire controlled all the votes in that pre- einet, and that his better half controlled hitn, so that it was all important to get on the right si of her. We had agreed not to electioneer with the Squire while we staid with him; but I did not think this forbade me to do my best with the family. So I rose about daybreak the next morning, and thinking that I should make friends with the mistress of the house by bring- ing water to cook the breakfast, I took the bucket and started off for the spring. I was tripping off on ‘a light fantastic too,’ singing merrily as [ went along, when what on earth should I ses, as I looked into the barnyard, but the old woman milking the cow, while my hon- orable friend, with his faceruddy with morning exercise. and his locks aming in the breeze, was holding the cow by thetail! Tsaw in an instant he had the start of mo. I returned to the house disoomfited and abandoned all hope of a vote in that region.’ Taa Use or Staxc.— Timothy Titeomb,”” whose letters in the Springfield Republican have been widely circulated and justly com- mended, thus alludes to the too common use of slang phrases: If you wish to be an ‘A No 1” woman, you have got to ‘toe the mark,”’ and be less *high- falutin.”’ “ You may bet your head on that You may sing “ slightually” “iike a murtin- gale = may ‘spin street yarn’’ at the rate ef ten knots an hour; you may “talk like a book: * you may dance as if you were on ‘a regular break-down,” and play the piano « * but “I tell you.” you ‘can't “ You may handsome, but you can'tcomein.”” You might just as well “cave in,”’ first as last, and * squatulate,”’ for you “t** pat it through,” “ any way you ean fixit.”” If you imagine that you may “go it while you are young, for when yon get old you can’t,”’ you don’t * come it.’” + by a long chalk.’’ “Own up,”’ now, and “dothe straight thing,” and I'll*+set you down” as “one of the women we read of If you don’t“ come up to the soratch,”’ why I must “let you slide.’ But if you have a “sneaking notion” for being a “regular brick,’’ there is no other way—‘not as you knows on.’’—*‘ no sirree, hoss'’ If a young man should ~ kind o’ up to you,” and you should ‘-cutton to him,’ and he should hear you say “ by the jumping Moses.”’ or “by the living jingo. .”? og 7 vow,” or * go it B your bonnet,” or ** mind your ey: * take me away, ur sled.’ or im again,” or or “dry up, now,” or ‘draw ‘eut stic or “ give him par- BA ticular fits,” he would pretty certainly “evapo- rate.’ ate encounter ton county, between two men named Benjamin Palmer and W.

DPaimer, ex Cure ror Cancers.—Our attention (says the editor of the Milwaukie Free Democrat) bas been recently called to acure for cancers, which is of so much importance that we wish to make it known as widely as possible. Some eight months ago, Mr. I B. Mason—who keeps a musie store on Wisconsin street. and is a brother of the well known Lowell Mason—ascertained thal he had a cancer on his face the size of a pea. It wascutout by Dr Walcott and the wound partially healed. Subsequenty it grew again, and while he was in Cincinnati on busi- ness, it attained the size of a hickory nut. He remained there since Christmas under treat- ment, and has come back perfectly cured. The process is thi A piece of sticking plaster was put over the cancer. with a cireular piece cut out of the cen- tre a little larger than the cancer, eo that the cancer and a small circular rim of healthy skin next to it were exposed. Then a plaster madeof chloride of zine, blood root and wheat flower was spread on a piece of muslin of the size of this circular opening, and applied to the cancer for twenty-four hours. Onremovingit the can- cer will be found to be burat into, and appear of the color and hardness of an old shoe sole, and the circular rim outside of it will appear white and parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam. The wound is now dressed and the outside rim soon suppurates and tho eancercomesout a hard lump, andthe placehealsup. The plaster ://s the cancer so that it sloughs out like dead flesh, and nerer grows agatn. The remedy was discovered by Dr. Fell, of London, and hasbeen used by him for six or eight years, with unfail- ing success, and not acase bas been known ef the re-appearance ef the cancer, where this remedy has been applied. GAs Meters:—These instruments for moas- uring the consumption of gas have long been suspected of being blind guides, capable of he- ing made to register a greater flow of gas than really occurs. It isa remarkable circumstance that all meters are supplied by the company, who put them up, keep count, and in fact ex- ercise entire contre! over them. Theeconsumer has ne protective oversight of his meter, and but one ina thousand is able to compute the amount of gas consumed on his own promises. There is also the most extraordinary diserep- ancy apparent in his quarterly bills, the excess sometime being enormous even when he is cer- tain that its consumption has not exceeded the usual average. ‘The manufacturers of meters assert that (he meter can bo made to register a flow of twenty per cent. more gas thanactually takes place, and the others say the mere setting of the meter can be made to produce a loss or gain tothe consumer. A general doubt exists in the puble mind as to the accuracy of gas me- ters, which ought to be removed by the produc- tion of an instrument constructed in #9 simple a way that everybody could understand its figures, how to regulate it, and how to detect an error, whether accidental or intentional. The number of meters now in use in this country is enormous, and is annually increasing. Noim- provement has been made in them since they were first invented ; and though gas-regulators and burners without number have been pat- ented and sold, yet the true fountain of error, the meter, las been d over without any comprehensive steal for its defects having been supplied. The subject affords n pronising prospect of remuneration for him who cures this gonerally-admitted defect. > The recent religious revival among our citizens has given rise to many queer stories. One is told of a gentleman who proposed him- self for membership in the church under the pastoral charge of Dr. B. The Doctor heard his application, and took the list of references de- siring him to remain under probation for a couple of weeks. At the expiration of that time the seeker for the true faith called again. aod was put off with another two weeks proba- tion. The two weeks passed, and the applicant did not call. Meeting the pastor in the street ashort time afterwards he was accosted, and the following conversation took place : “Well, my young friend, you did not call as you promised.’’ “No, sir, I did not.”” “Well, if you desire it, you can be placed on the list of members. as I am well satisfied with your character and the sincerity of your de- sire.”’ “Ah, Doctor, you’re too late. old boy; I've joined all I want at present; I was elected in Engine Company last night. and I aint got no time to spare evenings now.’” The Doctor lett.—New York Leader. Fata Hoax.—A Sheffield (England) paper says thata gentleman in that town has received a letter from @ friend in Northampton, con- taining the following :—**A singular circum- stance happened at our union last week. For some misecnduct the master had put a boy for punishment in the dead house. At that time there wasacorpse in the ‘dead ward,’ ina eotlin. The boy took the corpse ont of the coftin, dressed it in his own clothes, propped it up against the wall, and then himself got into the coffin, lay down and covered himself over. {n the course of a short time the master came, looked in at the door and saw, as he thought, a sulky Iad standing against the wall. ‘Now.’ said the mast ‘do you want any supper?’ There was no answer. The question was re- peated with the same result. The boy looked out from the coffin and said, ‘If he won’t have any, [ will.’ The master fled under terror, and received such ashock that itis said he has since died from the effests.’’ Ee The dragon tly, says Protessor Owen, may be pecariod teu the size and perfection of its organs of vision, and its great and enduring powers of flight and predatory habits, as the eagle of insects. He speaks of its head as be- ing covered by two enormous convex masses of eyes. pupbenay upwards of twelve thousand in each mars. He states that the swallow can- not match it in its aerial course, and that it not only outstrips its swift and nimble purguer, but, can do more in the air than any bird—can fly backwards and sidelong, to right or left, and alter its course on the instant, without turning. When the tail of one of these beautiful crea- tures war directed to its mouth to see whether its known voracity would induce it to bite itself, it actually devoured the four terminal seg- ments of its body. Whenit far in the work of self demolition, it escaped, by accident, and flew away as briskly asifnothing had happened. Mrs. Swiss in petticoats, who has recently moved to Min- nesota and started a paper there called the St. Cloud Visitor, bas had her office broken open, press demolished, and the type and contents thrown in the river. The cause of the act seems to be because of her personalities to- wards the family of a Mr. Shipley. This gen- tleman, it seemed. could not stop the Xantippe abuse of the voluble Mrs. S, and so took it upon himself to piteh her concern in the river, for the consequences of which he said he was responsible. Her friends have tried to give the matter a polit bearing, and charge the act to pro-slavery raffianism. but there seems tobe no ground for the accusation. Its en- tirely & personal matter.
