Association, under tbo auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, t.o
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions, it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT LONG EATON.

Tho dissatisfaction with the coroner's inquest
touching the railway accident which occurred a week
ago on the Midland line is by no means on the wane.
The jury themselves complain that the inquiry was
unfairly conducted, and that the coroner showed a
decided bias in favour of the railway company. A
railway official was present during the proceedings,
and frequently interfered. No evidence of import-
ance was taken except that given by the company's
servants. The jury were driven, at least so they say,
into giving an ill-considered verdict, by the
threat of the coroner to lock them up all
night if they did not come to an immediate
decision. Under these circumstances. they recorded
a verdict of "Accidental Death," although the evi-
dence sheaved that a loaded excursion train had been
sent off only five minutes before the fast mail. The
matter, however, is not to rest with this result. On
Saturday a Government enquiry was held, but the
proceedings were private.

TIES HORNET.

The Cuban privateer Hornet, or Cuba as she is now
called, continues to excite much interest in America. The
case came before the United States Commissioner for the
Cape Fear district, when it was decided that there
was a prima facie case against the ship. The Govern-
ment has, it is 'said, information of another expedition,
The Cuba when she was seized had 200 men and 30 officers
on board, most of the latter being ex-Confoderatos. Another
privateer, called the Alabama, with 400 men, including 63
officers, is said to have arrived at Fernandina from New
York. The owners of the steamer Euterpe hearing a
rumour that a Cuban privateer was waiting to capture
their vessel en route to Havana, asked protection from
Secretary Fish. The Secretary answered that no convoy
could be furnished upon rumour, but that he would punish
any outrage upon the American flag. The New York Herald
thinks the appearance of these Cuban privateers will
greatly affect the struggle with Spain, Cuba having been
recognised by two Governments as an independent power,
and her ships consequently being no longer liable to be
treated as pirates.

ANO l'ilk:8 ABDUCTION.

The abduction of Colonel Hickie's child by its
nurse is not, it appears, the only event of the kind
that has happened recently. "Pater " comes forward
with a recent occurrence somewhat similar in its
type to that related by Colonel Hickie. The sub-
stance of his tale is that his child, while playing on
his doorstep in the metropolitan village of Tedding-
ton, on Thursday afternoon last, was invited by a
tramp to take a walk, and refusing, was
carried off forcibly ; quieted by a threat of
instant death if he cried out ; prevented
from struggling by the fear of a knife which was
several times drawn across his throat, and thus con-
veyed ten miles from home; finally escaping while
the ruffian—confident in the child's inability to 6:tt
back—was regaling himself at a public-house. The
Telegraph makes this story a peg upon which to hang
an appeal for a more efficient police.

MR. OLIPHANT'S COLONY.

" Vevax" writes to the Daily News on Mr. Oliphant's
:olony. He thus speaks of it :—" This ' colony,' styled
'The Brotherhood of the New Life,' was originated and
'.ounded at -Wassail nearly eight years ago by the Rev. T.
L. Harris solely, Mr. Oliphant being then in' the world,'
and unknown to Mr. Harris for some years after. Some
gear relatives of mine were among the first of Mr. Harris's
band of sympathisers,' leaving home, friends, and
country to follow him and his teachings, attracted first by
his writings and eloquent preaching in London nine years
%go. The society, always under the sole inspiration and
guidance of Mr. Harris, moved to Lake Erie about two
years since, before which time, however, Mr. Oliphant
had felt the power of tho spell exercised by
this extraordinary man, and yielded himself up
to his training, becoming in time one of his most
devoted disciples. The principle of all conventual and
monastic life is the principle of this brotherhood—
;elf-renunciation, running into asceticism, and a putting
%way of the natural affections. The mode and manner in
which this principle is to be worked into daily life arc to
be learned from or " through " Mr. Harris. I could give
facts in detail to prove this, but those who know anything
of the brotherhoodwill not dispute this statement. Instead
of being a leader of this new expression of an old idea,
Mr. Oliphant has, with all Mr. Harri S's adherents, " sat at
his feet," listening to him as to one inspired, because they
believe him to be the man of the age, and the true prophet
of the nineteenth century.

It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, iu

COMPTTLSOInt EDITCATION.

Mr. Mundella regards the present state of educa-
tion in America as a strong argument in favour of
enforced attendance. The United States have made
munificent provision forp üblic instruction; it is offered
gratuitously to every child, and public opinion is
very strongly in its favour; but yet the result is not
satisfactory. Education in America is better than
here, but a large class of the community is gradually
sinking into ignorance. The efforts made in the
Republic are, indeed, immense. To fourteen States
and territories of the Union, Congress had, up to
1866, given 53,000,000 acres of public lands for the
support of sch ooLs ; and at least 50,000,000 doll. bad
been given for the same object by private persons. In
several States more than 50 per cent. of the local
taxes are imposed for the maintenance of common
schools. All this, however, does not avail. There
are above a million white persons in America who
can neither read nor write, and most of these aro
native-born Americans. Many of the best authorities
in the States declare that enforced attendance is the
one thing needed. Ono says :
" I shall refer to the Prussian system of education only
so far as to call attention to that familiar feature cf it
which makes the education of the whole people compul-
sory, and I do this because I believe if wo shall ever hope
to derive the best possible fruits from our own munificent
system of education this feature must be incorporated iu
it."

If this bo the case in America, asks Mr. Mundella,
how must we in England be situated, for undoubtedly
our educational provision is much less ample ?

CATTLE DISEASE.

Whatever may be the value of the Contagions
Diseases (Animals) Act, it is, at all events, not
allowed to remain a dead letter. One thousand six
hundred and two animals suffering from foot and
mouth complaint have been slaughtered at British
ports under the Act. Most of them were sheep,
and the great majority were brought to London.
The farmers have long complained of the want of a
plan to check the importation of diseased cattle. A
stringent system is now getting a fair trial.

THE AMERICAN GOLD PANIC.

The New rork Times gives a reassuring account of the
condition of the stock market. Matters are. settling
down, and the public mind becoming calmer. The only
trouble to be apprehended new is from the failures of
houses which have been too seriously affected by the panic
to rally. In surveying the history of the panic, tho Times
remarks that had it not been
.for the strong hand of the
law, stretched forth at an opportum moment, a disaster
would have fallen upon the entire business community
of the country, from Maine to Texas, which
would have ruined thousands aid cursed universal pros-
tration. A committee has been appointed by ih) Gold
Exchange to organise a new clearing department, whose
office will be to clear gold contracts made by and between
members of the Board. Their report was prepared and

TENANT-RIGHT.

The Irish movement in favour of "fixity of tenure
and fair rents" is increasing in proportions. A requi-
sition mustering 1,000 signatures has been put forth
in favour of a series of county meetings, and these
are accordingly to be held. Sir John Gray heads the
list of names. The Freeman, which is the pioneer of
the agitation, writes with increasing boldness and
-vigour

... .
One class of property, the improvements made by the
tenant, is created by him as he would create a hat, a watch,
a pair of shoes, and to rob him of that property is a moral
felony of the deepest dye. The other is a property inwhich
society as well as the tenant is interested—his moral right
to continue in occupation of the farm ho cultivates. The
power to evict capriciously is incompatible with the
existence of this solid marketable property—the occupancy
right. That power must cease to exist, and the tenant
must by law have his property in the occupation of the
farm he tills as securely protected as is the landlord's pro-
perty in his fee simple.
The battle is not, however, to be a one-sided affair.
The landlords have met at Cork to consider the means
of meeting this assault ; andit is understood that they
have resolved to set up a defensive organisation.

MR. MOOR E, M.P.

The Amnesty Committee in Dublin have given up
their functions. This news is all the more satisfac-
tory because Mr. Moore, M.P., thereby pales his
ineffectual fire. What has led him to come down
from his eminence is not quite clear, but the deter-
ruination is wise, both for himself and the incar-
cerated Fenians. A member of Parliament who
declares that we rule by the sword, and that the gal-
lows and the dungeon are our chief supporters, is not
likely to achieve much in the interests of his impri-
soned brother patriots. Mr. Moore holds that "the
time for talk is past, and the time for action not yet
come." What performance is to intervene between
talking and acting it is not easy to guess; in
most affairs of life, when the one ends the
other beg,ins. Nevertheless, • the member for
Mayo is quite right. The time for action has not
yet arrived. But it will come. When the sentences
of the prisoners are fulfilled, and they walk out, Mr.
Moore may take useful action by transporting himself
and his amiable protégés to a land where tyranny
is less severe, and where the gallows is not yet an
institution.

THE GREAT STORM IN AMERICA,

The storm of the first and second days of October in the
United States was exceptionally severe. In Connecticut
damage amounting to $lOO,OOO was done. A dam and
machine shop were carried away, crushing one man to
death, and injuring many others. Philadelphia, however,
seems to have been the chief sufferer. It is curious that
the district which has so long bewailed the sinking river
and prevailing drought has now to lament the veryopposito
misfortune. The Schuylkill, so long below its mark,
has swollen to such an extent that lumber, coal, and
railroad cars, were carried away, and the stores near the
banks were flooded to the second story. The gas works
were submerged, and the unlucky city threatened with
total darkness. In Baltimore the citizens profited by the
experience of last July, and removed their goods in time.
Washington itself was flooded in Tarts, and trains were
delayed for several hours. Part of the Erie line was
washed away, and the wires broken, cutting off com-
munication with the far West. The Delaware River
was twenty feet higher en the Ist of October than on
the previous day. The Mohawk was ten feet above
low water mark, and several breaks had occurred in the
Erie Canal. On the Hudson River Railroad the water
lay a foot deep on the track, and from all quarters come
accounts of trains delayed and accidents occurring through
the flood. It is feared that many lives have been lost
during the storm, and hundreds of men have been thrown
out of employment by the breakage of the Government
coffer dam on the Mississippi, which event we learned by
the last mail. The rise in that river is greater than was
ever known at this time of the year.
