On the other hand it show* what will not please the land league —that tenants are everywhere going into the land court; that the current of popular feelihg is growing daily stronger, in favor of the act. Furthermore, the “no-rent” manifesto bore little fruit except among those who who would subscribe to a “nodebt” manifesto with equal alaeritv. The tenants were paying no rent before unless redaction was given. They are •imply continuing on tkisline. The great question of arrears looms up on u black cloud in the distance. Reduce rents as the commissioner may the landlords are riititled to arrears, and intend to collect them if possible. If the tenants pay arrears according to the land act—that i*, by instalments from year to year—this payment will make up the rent to about the figure before redaction, so that practically the rent* of such tenants will be unchanged for many years to come. If they don’t pay arrears, the landlords will evict. Upon this question the peace and quietude of the country will largely depend during the coming winter. The land commissioners have now been sitting for several weeks, and independent observers and those interested have searched minutely for some indication of the principle upon which redactions are made; out search is fruitless and explanations unsatisfactory. After careful study of the commissioners’ methods I am convinced they ere not proceeding upon any independent principles at all. They are simply reducing rents to Griffith’s government valuation. The put the new rent a little above or a little below' Griffith’s, and they may give their valuation a scientific and methodical look by making a tenant’s rent £5 Is. Gd., instead of an even £5, but Griffith is their guide, philosopher and friend. Another fact to be learned from the reports is that the arrest of the league leaders and the suppression of the league has only temporrnly -stopped the outrages, which are beginning again, while the payment of rent has only been slightly accelerated. The great result of the government’s measures has been to practically jemove the check put upon the tenants to prevent them applying to the land court. Intimidation continues even now, and is increasing. The land leaguers are giving the authorities much trouble, however, as the feuian elements in them are forming in various parlsof the country under other names as well as in Dublin. Of a score of league branches in Dublin, eight were feuian organizations pure and simple. These are daily reforming—last night as a franchise association, twe nights before as a home manufacture society ; but the government does not fear secret societies, as it can always buy au account of their doings, it was an open conspiracy like the league from which they had most to fear.

It is to be regretted that Mr. Blaine can not see his way to the delivery of the Garfield memorial address before congress. It was rumored that in such address he would feel it incumbent upon him to speak of recent political events. His nearness to the scene of action would hardly permit him to do this properly. It is to be r«gretted, for few men of prominence were better suited for this service than Mr. Blaine. Whoever is chosen, we trust it will be some one who owes hi* prominence, not to the mere accidental elevation of office, but to personal attainments and of years of service

Tlie President’s Policy. tWashington special.] “There is no ground whatever,” said a prominent public man who conversed with the president recently for hours, about local and national politics, “for the assertion that in Ohio, Pennsylvania or any other state that President Arthur leans towards any particular faction of the fepub* lican party. What he wants, above everything else, is that the party shall solidifv into a unit. He does not like factions; he does not want factions; he will do nothing to create them and nothing to encoursge them if created.

These were made by worms, the story wire, and the worms were epicures in tobacco and would touch only the best; but the chemists soon found a way of simulating these worm specks. So that spoiled that test. Then there was no other guide but the ashes. If they burned white the ci^ar was good; if not,' bad. But the enterprising tobacconist soon found a way to make the vilest cabbagema burn as spotlessly white as the best Havana. Another test gone. Finally, the makers of choice cigsrs put a little red label around each.

Late Notes About Fashions. ;Xew York Evening Post.] Peacock-feather brocades, shaded with silver tinsel, are a novelty. Elizabethan pauiers, wired over the hips to keep them in shape, are revived. A new dress fabric is a moire aad lace stripe silk in delicate shades of color. Many of the long, elegant mid-winter cloaks are lined throughout with mauvetinted and crimscn plush. The luxurious silver-pointed, tiger and mottled plush trimmings for winter wraps rival those of the most costly fur in popularity. The small French capote bonnet is now considered the only style of headdress en regie for the opera. A very charming bennet in inis shape has the outside en tirely covered with soft sea-shell pink ostrich tips curled lightly, one over the other. In rich contrast, the face trimmings and strings are made of dark wine-colored' velvet. A beautiful reception bonnet is made of black Evens velvet in the Ferronciere shape. Encircling the crown is a long spray of scarlet cranberries made of shad- »atin and chenile, which falls over a v -.th of silver fretted leaves. Ou the 1 *. -ide of the crown is perched a bright robn redbreast, holding a twig of the berr es cud foliage in his bill. Big blue hats, decorated with immense red feutbeis, are said to be fashionatde.

Bnt Uncle Sam is the big brother of the American and republican family, and be would be a selfish and unnatural fellow indeed, if he did not feel, as he does feci, a sincere interest in the smaller fry. and a benevolent concern for their weii-being.—[Springfield Republican.

The Pest of the Placemen. [Washington (D. C ) Post.}

“Never hi the history of tho American republic,” remarked a veteran senator, “was there gathered in Washington such a gang of political cormorants; they come from every section and they are of every shade. They waylay me before I awake and I find them at my door when I retire for the night. They are as indecent as they are insolent in their demands. Why, even when I retire to a place which is always considered sacred from intrusion, I find one or more of them on the lookout to buttonhole me. For the Lord's sake, give me some sort of civil service reform.”

A Throat Doctor the Thing. Having hesrd from an “expert horse doctor,” the Uincltmeti Commercial demands the opinion of “an expert corn doctor” in Guitesa’s cose.

In Favor of Spanking. The British lord chancellor has expressed bis belief in the propriety of a magistrate correcting petty pilfering by children by a moderate corporal chastisement, which'in his judgment, is far more humane than either sending them to prison, where they might become demoralized, or leaving them to repeat such offenses with impunity, and so grow up in dishonest habits. 5 To o Valuable to Lend. [New Albany Ledger.] After It is all summed up itwill be found that the principal lesson learned by the Newark bank defalcation is that men with good names must not lend them.

It is said that the abstracted professor who is one of the characters in Mrs. Bur- j nett’s novel “Through One Administru- ; tion,” now running as a serial in the Century, is drawn from Professor Simon Newcomb of the naval observatory. 4 A boat destined to be propelled solely by electricity has Just been completed in France.

Gen. Sherman's army sad lie, Sheridan’s sword, Custer’s cap and Grant’s cigar, are exhibited among the relics at the Soldiers’ Bazar in Boston. Not the least interesting thing in the collection is the national flag which was worn as a petticoat by Mrs. Briggs, of Richmond, in order to save it from rebel searchers. In Japan, with more than 30,000,000 people, there are only 1,000,000 head of cattle, of which only 600,000 are fit for food, or two bead for every 100 people, against 73 bead per ICO in the United States. Mutton snd pork are unknown in the interiorj fish being largely the food of the people, many varieties being eaten raw. Monxn plants sic extensively eaten, as is also an acorn which grows on a bush three or four feet high. A preparation from m&ited barley ie alto much eaten. A matter-of-fact young man from New York during a recent visit in Boeton re- , reived an invitation from a lady—an old .acquaintance—who has just blossomed out -into a typical specimen of the Boston a-sthete, requesting his presence at her house on a certain evening “to meet two minds.” It happened that he had just accepted an invitation to dine elsewhere on the same evening, and so he replied, expressing his regrets that he oonld not avail himself of the opportunity “to meet two minds” owing to a previous engagement “to meet four stomachs.” A email scientific expedition, organised and directed by Paolo Mantegazza, is now proceeding to India lor the purpose of making anthropological studies, collecting skulls snd bones for the mnseum at Florence, as well as plants and animals, and copying the antique ornamentation of monuments, china, and bronzes which adorn Indian temples and houses.

thus rendering it inappropriate for wearing with any skirt except the one it is made up over and corresponds with. The black Spanish lace toilets which became so popular last season have brought ditssta of other varieties of lace into style. The long Bernhardt glove ia quite as fashionable as ever. Indeed, it bids fair to retain its popularity throughout this generation. The thought that even the ni( st subservient follower of style, in obt dience to the changes or caprices of fashion, will consent to the extreme limitation of a single button glove after enjoying the comfort and luxury of a longwristed one would seem impossible.

Curable Aches. Among the aches which the unprecedented career of Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters has proved to be curable are those experienced by the rheumatie. Testimony of the mose convincing character establishes the fact that the atrocious discat e, even after resenting the most potent remedies ot the pharmacop<vi», has succumbed to the action of this beneficent blood deparent. Add to this fact the important one that it is safe, and iu superiority is very manifest. Uniortunately safety can not be predicated of the ordinary drugs used to overcome rheumatism, among which are several violent poisons, and some of them, as in the case of arsenic, have a tendency to aggregate In the system, and cause death at some unlocked for moment A slight over dose of the chief remedy, cokhtcum, causes spasm of the heart and death.
