Mr. Gladstone’s Great Land Bill.

Mr. Glad atone introduced hi* great meneure for Irish land reform in (he House of Commons, on Thursday evening, the sth Inst., with a powerful explanatory speech, Which had been eagerly anticipated for daja The bill, a foil synopsis of which will be found elsewhere in oar oolamns, is a broad, liberal measure, the passage of which will leave but little grounds for complaint on the part of the tenants, and will completely knock the props from under the agitators and demagogs who seek to elevate themselves and promote their own selfish interests by appeals to the passions of the Irish people, in overwrought pictares of their wrongs and of the injustice of the English government. Mr. Gladstone has shown in his bill, and by his speech, that such men as he and John Bright, and not the Parnells aad Dillons are the true friends of the Irish tenants. That Ireland lias been wronged, often grievously so, or that her tenantry have been oppressed by exacting land owners, Is not denied. But tbe disposition of the government, especially '-under tht present administration, to deal equitably with and for ali, is made equally apparent; and the enactment of thU bill will undoubtedly tranquillize the turbulent Irishmeu, greatly hnprovtheir condition, and at the same time materially strenghten and smooth the pathway of tbe Gladstone government. -

The bill is liberal in its provisions, and in its recognition of the rights or tenants and the restriction of the power which landlords have used for the infliction of Wrongs upon the tenantry, goes beyond what the most radical ministry would have dreamed of a decade ago. The principles of “fair rents, free sales and fixity of tenure," are embodied in the measure. What a fair rent is, is to be. determined by the Land Court, on application of tbe tenant, Id case he ana the landlord cannot agree, and that valuation is to hold for fifteen .years. Free sale of tepury is guaranteed under restrictions to be fixed* by the Court, the landlord to have the first chance to purchase the claim. This protects the tenant against being driven from his holding under trumped up charges by the iand-owner. It also provides for compeusation in case of disturbance, graded according to the rental. The firovision of fixity of tenure makes it mpossible for a landlord to evict a tenant, without showing caujie before the court and rendering the considers lion for the tenant’s right required by the act. Th-> measure secures the tenant the Value of the improvements made upon (he holding; and also provides that the Land Commission may advancepioney to tenants with which to purchase their lands in cases where landlords are wliling to sell. The bill also provided for’ a permanent Land Court, To enforce the requirements of the law, to be located in Ireland; and also a Land Commission, which shall have supervision of the details, and which shall be a final court of appeal.

To these safe guards thrown around the tenant, the bill adds by direct specification the right to a home, from which the landlord cannot evict him for fllteen years if he complies with hirf contract, and which may be retained longer by the observance of certain conditions.

. There is certainly all in the bill that could be asked or expected to excite the ambition and encourage the industry of the Irish tenantry', and if upon its passage they fail in their obligations to society and to their government, the fault will rest with them aud they should bear the consequences.' Mr. Gladstone, at the opening of his speech, said this was the most difficult question he hail ever had to deal within tae course of his political life, yet he felt satisfaction at “exchanging the dreary work of repression for legislation of an improving and reforming character." He then made an exhaustive review of the bill and the principles and policy underlying it. He expressed the hope tbat “by continuing to do justice towards her,lreland would become reconciled to England, and would gradually acquire self-government." This sentiment was warmly cheered by the Irish party, which led the Premier to add that what he meant was “that Ireland would be granted the same kind of self-government which iScotland en{oys. ’ Mr. Gladstone, in concluding iis speech, said: ‘Justice is to be the principle to guide England in regard to Ireland." The character of the bill and the tone of his speech fully sustain tbe declaratiou.-C’feve/anef Lead -

Hidden Treasure.

At Newcomers town, 0., the Tuscarawas valley, says a correspondent, cannot boast that Capt. Kidd left any buried treasure within her border, but the. following historical facts are abundant evidence that both gold and silver may some day be found in this delightful region: ' When the French occupied Fort Du quesne,The site of the present city of Pittsburg, and anticipated an attack from the British, they gathered up their gold and silver coin and sent the pi'ecious treasure under and escort of ten, men with sixteen pack horses to sonic! .secure trading post along the Tuscarawas trail. A flex traveling three days on this trail, the parties found they were pursued blithe British, and therefore hid the treasure to prevent it from falUng into the4xands of the enemy. They had barefy concealed the coin when they were-attacked by their pursuers, ana only two of the parly -scaped with their Jives. £ . > The Tuscarawas trail oegan at Fort Duquesne, and, after following the Ohio river to the mouth of Yellow {.’reek, it struck the Tuscarawas valley, near Banay Creek.

All along th|s trail the settlers claim they can locifq. the ‘‘exact spot” where the coin Jwas concealed, and there are acres of these ‘‘exact spots” pointed out to t-hi inquiring traveler. The real location of the hidden treasure, however is now. known to be Just in the adjoining county of Carroll, as the following wets indicate: Jii 1829 a man came to East Rochester from North Carolina, and ytt&d with him a oomplete description of the sjaxt where the treasure was concealed. Th# description was written In French, and the settlets could tell nothing about it. The man made inquiries about the location of certain landmarks mentioned in tfawdescriptlon of the spot, but th.e sturdy yeomen would give him no information, although they knew the exact location of . many or them. He offered his horse, nodule and bridle, and. large rams of money, to any one who would Ajynish him with,the desired information ; all to no purpose, as the settlers had heard of the hidden wealth, and each oue thoqgbt he would fine it himself-. The stranger said he had fbpnd the description among some papers of bis unefe, who was op# of the two men In tb# escort who escaped from their pursuers. After trying In vain to get the desired information from the settlers, the stranger left, and Was heard of no more.

flic following are some of the landmarks mentioned in the description: Rock hill side, opposite a certain spring; deer cut b» # tree; three springs one-half mile south; stone in forks of tr»e, etc. The deer cut on the tree was on the trail, and well known to the settlers at the time of the stranger's visit, &u 4 all the other marks have ainoe beprr fppnd and identified. The tree with the stop# ip the*forks was cut down a few years since and the stone was found completely imbedded in the woody tissue. Every inch of the soil in the vicinity of these i uarkfi has be**n up-turned by

the treasure-eeekers, and the search still goes on. The statements of the stranger, together with the fact that all the landmarks referred to have been cleariv identified, are certainly strong grounds for tbe . belief that the hidden treasure is In this valley, and near thetown of East Rochester.

Berrewiag. It is a pleasure sometimes to re* member that we may do good by lending, for, without this encouragement, many would grow weary of such welldoing. Perhaps ladies reel this most in the little affairs of domestic life, when they are called npon to lend to one aud another .of their neighbors not only from the household stores, but often of things they value too much to use in common themselves. And It is Just as well to act upon the admonition to hope for nothing again, because a "thank you," is often all the return oue gets—not always. The other day a young girl begged to see the lady. It was very important, she said, and so it was to her. Bat when I saw the frteli rosy face, %nd heard the smiling request for a white veil, I wondered. “Why, my dear," said I, "I have no white veil but the oue I was married in, and that I will not lend to any one.” "Oh, yea, you have,” she said quickly, "beggingyour pardon, an’ it’s for my own wedding I want it." I’ve stoou on the sidewalk and looked at it many a time, and thought how nice it would look‘on me. It’s one of the muslin curtail.s in the basement window, ma’am, I mean. If you please, I’m going to be married in tne evening, and I eould take it down after dark, aud mother would do it up early in the morning, and have it in the window before anybody missed It. You’re laughing, ma’am, out you will let me have it, and I will thank you with all my heart." . Of course such a request oould not be refosed, and a few flowers were giveu to garnish the window curtain, so unexpectedly promoted to the dignity of a bridal veil. Not many hours later another neighjx* dropped in; this time a boy: "If you please, ma’am. I’ll be obliged to you for the loan of yoar carving-knife. I don’t meau anything elegant, but the one they use below stairs." “what for, may I ask?” ' “Well, it’s for a wake we’re wanting it." “But I don’t approve of wakes." “I know what you mean, ma’am; but there will be no drinking, I promise you, only a bite for the friends who sit up all night with U 9. We get along easy other times without a big knife, for it’s little enough meat we have to cut any day, but we don't think we can manage a ham rightly without a carving-knife." 80 the kitchen carver followed the window curtain out of the house, and both returned laden with the blessings of the borrowers. Surely it Is no slightreturn for kiuduess to receive the lovihg gratitude of thuee among whom we live; and if we can in one way win it, by unlocking the best pantry to lend a drawer or tea to this one, or by running up stairs to get the best tidy another one, wants to take off the pattern, il is well worth while to do all cheerfolly and with good grace. These calls upon time and strength it is true, are often annoying, and ladies sometimes say that they would rather give away their things than lend them to be returned out of order as is often the case. But a slight sacrifice even of this kind will, perhaps, win the nearest friendship qt a true friend, or brighten and, comfort the life of a humble neighbor, and so a little deed of kindness may open the way for doing a great good. Another chance in the same direction just now; a call from a new neighbor. “Are you going to receive calls on New Year’s day ?” “Oh, yes." “And have a table?" “Yes." “Slewed oysters?" “No, I think not, they are too much trouble." V "Well, I am, and p rhaps if you don’t use it you’ll lend me your silver soup-ladle. I thought I would ask [ you first and see if you wanted it yourself.” “Oh, no, you can have it." And so my beautiful big ladle, that I think a great deal of as a gift also, has gone 'off under the cloak of my pretty neighbor to adorn her New Years tAbleJ’ Ah, well, it is much easier after ali to write about little sacrifices than to make them; when it comes to the point, they seem to grow.— New York Observer.! '

Without Escort.

Ladies naturally prefer, says The London Queen, being accompanied by gentlemen to places of public resort, to going by themselves unattended; and many would rather relinquish an evening’s amusement than appear without the countenance of some member of the sterner sex, whether husband, brother or friend. Still, there are a large number of marriec ladies who for one reason or another dispense with gentlemen attendants, ana avail themselves of the privilege of being considered capable of taking care of themselves. It Is not unusua! to see three ladies enter the stall of a theatre unaccompanied by a gentleman, the married lady or ladies leading the way, followed by the young ladies of the party. At the opera more especially, one notices rows of ladies s ated in the stalls unacoompanied by gentlemen. These ladies depend upon the exertions of an intelligent man-servant to get quickly away from the crowded vestibule «f the opera-h«. use, and they generally make their way out < f the stalls before the close of the last act, so as to avoid the general crush. It is needless to say that young unmarried ladies have not the independence enjoyed by married ladies, and that it would be a breach of etiquette were they to go to the theatre or opera unaccomKnied by a chaperon or accompanied a gentleman, uuless he were a ver# near relative, father, brother, brotherin law, or uncle. Unmarried ladies, however, of a certain age, with establishments of their own, do not oome within tbla rule of etiquette, but are rather Included In that which applies to married ladles. * •

Prince R udolph's Wedding.

Crown Prince Rudolph, says a Vienna correspondent, will hunt the’ roebuck on Count Schonborfi’s hunting grounds as soon as he returns from his.eaatern journey In Kaj. * After that, it is mid, he will write a journal containing all his impression de voyage, and will publish it and, like h s two other books, present it to a select circle. This does not look aa if the marriage was to take place that month and yet it has been generally reported that everything is being prepared for the wedding In May. ’ I am-told that the Princess Stephanie, to please her future mother-in-law, is becoming s very good horse-woman, and that she spends several hours a day In the rid-ing-school. Bhe is also learning Bohemian and Hungarian, and is therefore certainly not liying an idle life, for we must suppose that she often writes to her intended. When she was in Brussels the lest time tbe queen used to arrange musical entertainments for a very select circle, during which she sang her charming songs. The young couple were allowed to sit aside on a sofa and Were not expected to take any notice <>f the company If they choee to have a chat to themselves. The Princ*ss of Flanders has had a beautiful present prepared for tJbe young bride, —a fan of wrought gold, bearing a fine painting by Dell’ Acqua, a roccoco wedding, the shepherd bridegroom resembling Crowb Prince Rudolph, the shepherdess Princess Stephanie. I have seen a splendid piece of work made by the fairy fingers of the laceworkers of Bohemia, which is to be a wedding gift to Princess Stephanie. In an enormous album-llko box of embrAklered green velvet, whioh opens and displays two equal sides, lies a lace skirt-front, a large collar and a pair of broad cuffs. It is impossible to decribe the beauty of the work. The tablier or skirt-front is meant for a dark velvet court-dress, of course. It is tho old Venetian laoe, every inch of which is the produce of needle and thread, without the aid of any other implement. The lace is a quarter of an inch thick, many parts of the splendid design being In relief. It is almost* Incredible, ana yet true, that six girls have completed this work in about a year’s time. In summfer they sit In front of their houses to catch all the light they can. and in winter when the days are short they have a large glass globe full of water In front oi a tallow candle, and in the small patch of bright light which prisms tnrow out they do their light work. Americ&ns can not possibly imagine the dreadful poverty of the districts of the Erzgebirg, where these girls live. ' Any other people would starve there There are about thenty thousand lace-making g.rls and women with families who earn from sto 10 cents a day. They have no ground to till, only little bits of garden where they grow a few potatoes. At the beginning of the century the mines were exhausted aad given up. No new industry has replaced the old, and every year large numbers of these people foil prey to typhus caused by hunger.- The people are clean and as highly cultivated as they can be In their condition of poverty. Great efforts are being made-for reviving the old lace industry in the country, but the government can not or will not grant the funds necessary for com-’ raencing the industry on a large scale. The lace-makers have not the means to emigrate. When I visited those parts last autumn I was told of an instance of government’s short-sighted-ness in the matters of public welfare. One of the small villages in the poorest districts had for about sixty yfars seut numberless petitions to tne government for a small church, divine service being held by a priest in a barn, there being no other building suitable for the purpose. At last the poor villagers received a promise of a church, aud very soon afterwards an architect arrived with his plans and Jiis work-people, and greatly surprised* the villagers by layjng foundations for a-very large building. The villagers eagerly watched tne growth of of the work until the church was half built aud a fine belfry was beginning to show against the sky. In the meantime they had made friends with the architect, and when they asked him whether ne knew why such a very large church was being built for about one hundred parishoners he shook his head and deemed it prudent to inquire of the authorities why indeed so much was being expended upon that poor Bohemian village. The mystery was solved in no very pleasing way to the government. A large village in Sty ria had also petitioned tor a church, and as chance would have it that Styrian village bore the same name as tne Bohemian one; the plans had been exchanged by mistake, and the village with several thousand inhabitants has now a very small church, only large enough to hold two hundred people, while our little Bohemian village glories in what It calls its minister. This happened only three years ago, and the churches are there to prove that my story is a true one.

The Nihilist Executions.

London, April Id.—The following additional details of the excution of the nihilists have been received:

On Thursday Russok'olf asked for three wax tapers, such as are carried to church, a copy of the New Testament and one of the consecrated loaves made and sold by monks. When not praying he smoked cigarettes. In the course of the day he offered bis services to the government as a spy. Naturally enough he met with a refusal, for he belonged only to the outside circle and could be of but little use. Jsliaboff spent his.time in dictating page after page about the trial, and committing to paper what he would not be allowed to utter in speech. Sophie PerofFsky wrote to her mother to waste no time or trouble in assuaging the wrath of her father for what had been done. He would never forgive. Kibaltsclttech, the maker of the bombs, and in some respects thife most remarkable figure among tbe condemned, devoted his last hours to drawing up a memoir on the subject of his specific discoveries, which fie addressed to the high court of Justice. Iu the document he avowed his desire that his name should be immortalized, and he made a gift of his inventions to the state, on the condition that all the profit should go to the amelioration of the lot of the children of political criminals.

I hf execution took place at 6 o’clock on Friday morning, on Simonofsky Plain, the same spot which kjolodntsky was executed. Th« soaQold was a rough wooden structure, painted black, oonsistiug of a high platform, upon which were three posts, each with a chain and manacles, and one long horizontal beam, with iron rings for ropes, supported by two perpendicular posts. In front was a low platform for the officials. The large plain around was covered with snow l c *» which was melting in the w*Fin iun#hi W e. By 8 olc|aek many thousands «l people had collected around the plain and swarmed into the various streets leading to it. Teh thousand troops kept them back and formed two squares around the gallows. First were the Coesacks with couched lances, and then detaohmonts of tiie guard. The infantry was mturned In deep columus, leaving one side of the inner Bquare open for the passage of tbe condemned prisonersand ••cort r phe cortege entered the eastThe goiidem«e4 criminals were ■rated high in the centre of two

wheeled platforms, tijfbtly Btlftuwd to iron rods, with their backs toward the hones and haring on their breast largfe cards with words “Tsareoubiest” (murderer of the cur) in black and white. Surrounding them was a strong escort or Coasapka and infantry,- with drams and fifes playing a lively tane, and preceded by mounted gendarmes. The condemned persons were dreSeed in black and wore a sort of black hood, covering their heads and shoulders. On the first tnn.bril sat Russo kofT and Jaliaboff, both of whose features were nearly ooooealed bf heavy hoods. JellabofTs dark, piercing eves seemed to shine with even intensified brilliancy and defiance as he looked on the scene around him. On the second tumbril were seated Kibaltachitisch, Sophie Peroffsky and MichaikifT, the woman occupying the middle seat. Of these three the features of Sophie Peroffsky were alone distinctly visible, her extraordinarily high and broad forehead being unshrouded by the hood. Her t?lightlyflushed face betokened great mental excitement, but there was no sign either of fear or remorse. General Benacoff, with the executioner and his lour assistants were waiting under the scaffold.

The condemned were unbound and let up the steps. With the exception of Russokoff, who seemed very feeble, all showed remarkable firmness and resignation. Sophie Peroflsky appeared the calmest of all the five firisoners. They were then placed in font of the three poets, with-their heads hare, the women being in the middle. While the clerk of the senate read the sentences the civilians uncovered and the officers saluted. During this formality fiveprieste in purple caps mounted the scaffold and presented the cross, which all the condemned reverently kissed. The prisoners were then allowed to kiss each other, and a word or two passed between them, hut the beating of the drums, which now began and lasted until the execution was finished, drowned every other sound. The prisoners were then placed under the.beam./ Each prisoner’s head was oovered with a white hood attached to a kind of sack. Each one, beginning with Russokoff, was led to the top of i small stool with steps. The rope was drawn tightl around one of the supporting beams and the culprit was left to strangle by the stool being withdrawn 'from under. All remained firm and imperturable until the last moment. Russakoff alone appeared to faint before the stool was taken away. The formalities and the execution lasted altogether about twenty-five minutes. The bodies remained hanging twenty minutes aud were let down into five rough shells filled with shavings and were examined by the doctors. They were then placed in two carts and taken away under the escort of Cossacks to be ignominiously buried in a remote part of the suburbs of the city. With the exception of an accident to one of the ropes, which broke twice, the proceedings passed off quietly and without difficulty. They were watched in silence by fully one hundred thousand of the civil and military population of the capital.

Rockford (III.) Register. FELL AGAINST A SHARP EDGE.

This is furnished by Mr. Wm. Will, 1013 Frankford avenue, Philadelphia, Pa.: Some time since I received a severe injury to my baok, by falling against the sharp edge of a marble step, the stone penetrating it at least a half-inch, and leaving a very painful wound. After suffering for a time I concluded to apply St. Jacobis Oil, and am pieasea to say, that the results exceeded my expectations. It speedily allayed all pain and swelling and by continued use, made a perfect cure: I really think it the most efficacious liniment I ever used. Chicago Times: Unless changes should be introduced by the czar, the* populace of St. Petersburg will, most probably, and at no distant future, be called again to witness more spectacles like those enacted on the 13th March and the 15th of April.

that Famous First Speech.

INo sketch of Benjamin Disraeli is considered complete without allusion to his first sp*«Nßh in parliament, and its ridiculous failure. Mr. George Makepeace IWle, In his Unity elub lectures on Disraeli, alluding to it as a*; moat lamentable failure?’ and in this wky speak nearly all who attempt so outline the career of this remarkable man. The tendency of this, is misleading, since the inference of those who are not intelligent on the subject is" that the failure was due to the impotence of the speech itself. Such u not the feet, however. Justin McCarthy, in his “History of Our Own Times,” says it is difficult to understand, in reading if over now, why it should have excited so much, laughter.and derision.- “It is a clever speech,” he says, “fUU of point and odd conceit, very like in style and structure many Jf his speeches which in later years won for the same orator the applause of the house of cominons? r ... But Disraeli was at that time unknown save as the author of “Vivian Grey," and other literary trifling, and there was but one man in parliament at that time who saw in the dapper dandy the promise of a statesman, and that was Sir Robert Peel, against whom, later, Disraeli pronounced a philippic that convinced the house he was not only an orator, but a man who bad mastered the intricacies of British politics. When Disraeli rose to make his maiden speech he was dressed, according to an eye witness, “in a bot-tle-green flock, and a waistcoat of white, of the Dick Swiveller pattern, the front of which exhibited a glittering net-work of glittering chains; large fancy-pattern pantaloons, and a black necktie above which no shirt collar- visible." Nor w*s his dress more remarkable than his toilette. His forehead was “overhang by clustering ringlets of coal-black hair, which, combed away from the right temple, fail in bunches of well oiled ringlets over his left cheek." Fancy a gentleman with that figure, with a reputation for fantastic freaks And audacious whimsicalities, and without any standing with either political party, rising to pddress the sober and soberly-clad house of com--mons, and doing i with an amount of theatrical gesture that was considered “wild and extravagant" beyond anything seen there. Consider also that though do longer -a Jew in faith and practice, he was looked upon a* the representative of a race held in muoh less regard than it now is in England, and it is not suprising that his first sentence was received with laughter, and that it was the accompaniment of every period of the speech, however well turned. And yet nis temper was retained until the interruptions became intolerable, and as described by one who heard the debate, he turned upon his persecutors, and in a remarkable and almost terrific tone said: “I have begun several times many things and I have often succeeded at last;' ay, sir, and though I sit down now, tne time will come when you will hear me." A remarkable prediction, as It has turned out.

The Journal of the American Agricultural Association says: Suine or lard butter and Anti-Huff cheese are refered to by Mr. Crump. The former is a frautf and swindle that deserves the severest condemnation but it cannot be dangerous to health, as lard can only be rendered at a temperature that will kill animalcules. Oleomargarine is as iniquitious a compound as suine. Against the manufacture and sale of both there should be prohibitory laws, because of the Injury they have done to Kroducers and comsumers of natural utter. They have been a curse to the country and its farmers. Anti-Huff cheese is an article of cheese made from milk, from which all the cream has been taken, and in place of which a small percentage of lard is incorporated. Sold under its proper name it need cause no prejudice against American cheese. Only two small factories are yet in existence and none in the west, as Mr. Crump has be p n led to believe. It is proper to observe that none of these adulterations are chargeable to the farmer. He is interested in preserving the character and reputation of his products. The adulterations have been introduced and are manufactured solely by speculators, who regardless of the country’s prosperity, when it conflicts with their interests. Every attention Bhould be given to the matter of keeping our food products pure and beyond suspicion. On this our future prosperity as a nation hinges, for if we lose our export trade in produce, we may close our doors ana vacate our farms.

Charcoal as a Disinfectant.

The value of charcoal in certain foimsof dyspepsia which are accompanied with fermentation or decomposition of the food in place of good Digestion is easily understood in view of the fact that it has a wonderfully absorptive power, a property which enables it to take up many times its own weight of such gases as are developed by processes of decomposition. It is related that an eminent chemist placed a dead dog in a box and covered it to the depth of two or three inches. • No offensive odor came from the box, though subsequent examination showed that the flesh had disappeared entirely and left only the bones. The poisonous gases of a composition had all been absorbed by the charcoal— Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly-

Princess Dnlgourouki, widow of the late Czar, left St. t Petersburg two hours after her husband’s death with her three children. The Vienna papers say that she no doubt availed herself of the general confusion to quit the Winter Palace unnoticed, and traversed Russia under a false name. Her fear was lest she should be put into a convent and separated from her children. Her future is very sufficiently assured, there being over $30,000,000 to her credit inßerlin. The last deposit of $6,000,000 was lodged in the banks only three weeks before the Czar’s terrible death.
