SHORT NEWS ARTICLES. ______   THE SALVATION ARMY.    In answer to inquiries as to the working of the Salvation Army, the Rev. William BOOTH, the “general” states the average expenses to be £43 each annually. The majors were married men and received £2 per week with house rent when in the field. The allowances for lieutenants were 18s weekly, captains (single) 21s., (married) 27., and 1s per child. Lieutenants, (women) 12s., captains, 15s.    General BOOTH has never received anything out of the funds, and profits of the “War Cry” go to the army fund. ********   RELEASE OF IRISH MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.    Messrs. PARNELL, DILLON, and O’KELLY have been released from prison and left Dublin on Wednesday evening for London. Mr. PARNELL is understood to have expressed a desire that no sympathetic demonstration should take place at present, as he regards the release of himself and fellow members as an act of justice.    On Wednesday in Dublin there was no manifestation of popular feeling, though it is stated that in the country the event has been celebrated by illumination and bonfires on the hillsides.     SHORT NEWS ARTICLES.   ******   A ONE ARMED CHILD. ______    A child was recently in Workington with only one arm.   ******   THE CLEATOR AND WORKINGTON JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL ____      This Bill was read a third time and passed in the House of Commons on Monday.   ******   SEATON WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY. _____      The anniversary of the Seaton Wesleyan Sunday school was celebrated on Sunday last when two excellent sermons were preached by Mr. David JACKSON, of Maryport.
