England’s wealthiest baronet is said to be Sir John Kamsden, of Bryam, Yorkshire, His rent-roll is computed at Ll7o,oooayear. He owns nearly the whole of Huddersfield, the great manufacturing centre. The little bit he doesn’t own was a very Naboth’s vineyard to his father, who, according to popular tradition, once offered to, its Quaker owner to cover it -with sovereigns if he would sell it. 11 Edgewise,, friend Hamsden ?” quoth the Quaker ; “in that case it is thine ; otherwise all Huddersfield must still belong to -thee and me,” “ Edgewise ” was rather more than the baronet could swallow. Contrasted with the rowdy conduct of the English “rough," the treatment of the Salvationists by the New Zealand “ larrikin ” is mild and gentlemanly. Here is a specimen of the pure unaduteratod Home-made ruffiianism, as described by the Exeter correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette. The Skeleton • Army riots at Honinton on Sunday and Monday prove on investigation to have been worse than at first reported. In the course of the disturbance on Sunday, an attempt was made to force Capt. Lomas into the coffin which was carried in the ranks of the “ Skeletons. ” He, however, successfully resisted, and the coffin was . subsequently smashed over the heads of some of the Salvationists. The windows of several tradesmen’s shops have been broken by the volleys of stones thrown, and in some cases goods in the windows have been destroyed. One Salvationist Had his face dreadfully disfigured by a brick which was thrown at him. Mrs ' ttomas is still suffering severely from the brutal kicking she received. On Monday night, after the Salvationists had straggled through the mob to their hall to the “ tea,” they were kept in the building till long after midnight by a howling mob of two or three thousand strong. These first directed their attention to the windows, which were soon smashed, and the Salvationists then barricaded them with forms, bo as to keep out the stones. An attack was then made on the doors, a sledge hammer being used for the purpose. A hole was ultimately made, and the Salvationists had to barricade the door also to keep out the mob. Volleys of stones were then directed on the roof of the building, part of the wall being nearly pulled down to supply material The mob gradually died away, and the imprisoned people then made their way to the houses of various friends to pass the night.” More health, sunshine, and joy in Hop Bitters than in all other remedies.
