The Land Tenure Question. Popular Aaita-

Island-Enoris for Its Redress-Prosrccts OF
Success.
DUBLIN, Dec. 1S, 1889.
It now, believe, recognized by all classes OF
PERSONS irrespective or political opinion.-by the
landlord as well as the tenant farmer-that the
great cause OF irish poverty ana misery ls the pre-
carous hold which the ters OF the soil have OF tue
land they cultivate. This fact can scarcely excite
surprise when it 10 known that Ireland is almost
destitute OF manufactures and that threefourths OF
the people are directly depending for subsistence
upon the produce of tho soil. The land laws Of
England, am inclined to think would not have
added much TO her prosperity 1t not that agri
culture received such an extraordinary stimulus
from the capital derived from her commerce ana
manufactures. Even MIR. Bright Acknowledges this.
In speech in Dublin In 1867 he said that but for
the outlet for the population Afforded by manufac-
turing industry the condition OF England would
probably have been as bad as that Of
Ireland. But here as / have shown, the case
is different, the population being for the
most part engaged in agricultural pursuits. Any
thing that nerferes with the cultivation OF the land
Affects the whole population Of ireland.
II Is easy for any who has taken the trouble TO
study tho land question, for any one who has
"
land within the last few years that the great
evil ailictng society this country the insecurity
Of the tenure OF land. This the opinion arrived
at by the celebrated commission appointed to
inquire into the tenure OF land In Ireland, under the
presidency or the Earl OF Devon. The commissions rs
stated that the insecurity or tenure the cause OF
the bad cultivation OF the land and the miserable
condition OF the people. Poverty, the commissioners
said, was owing to the fact that the occupiers
held the Investment or labor and capital from heir
farms; that they did not wish to expend anything Oh
the property OF others without reasonable security
and that no such security existed IN regard 10 The
vast majority OF the Irish peasantry. In q
speech ut Manchester The O'Donoghue fully bears
out the opinion OF the Devon commission that In
tho majority OF cases the tenant farmers Of Ireland
have not sucent security to induce them to invest
their capital In the land. lie says that '1n Ireland
there are about 100000 persons occupying land as
tenants. That number included only the heads OF
families. But taking the moderate estimate OF Lord
Dunerin that each family consists OF nve, they
would have an agricultural population close upon
1000 000 or the 600, 900 heads OF families about
5sO 900 were tenants at will, without leases ana
could be dispossessed OF the land lne service OF
six months notice to quit.n Under these circum-
stances 1t Is quite impossible for the great bulk OF
the peasantry either TO prosper or DC contented.
They are living IN state OF the utmost suspense
llving In hourly expectation OF tns Iatal notice.

AURORA BoREALIs DIsPLAY.-A magnifi-
cent auroral display was visible here on
Monday night, one of the most brilliant it
has ever been our good fortune to witness
in these ATTITUDES. The whole of the north
ern half of our visible hemisphere was
lighted up by streamers, which extended
to the zenith, and the display was more
permancn ual, lasting for over two
hours with little variation.
The most peculiar feature Of the aurora
was, however, the fact that, though the
heavens were heavily ciouded at the time,
in broad patches, the streamers seemed to
he continuous, and were diversified by
strongly lurid masses Of light. The aurora
must have been unusually strong to shine
through these clouds, though the phenom-
enon is by no means without a parallel.
The combination witnessed on Monday
could only occur under unusual atmos-
pheric conditions. Normally the temper
from the surface but for this it was nee
essary that the lower strata of air should
be very much cooler than the upper, in or
der to permit the precipitation OF vapor to
form rain cloud, while the atmosphere
above retained its wonted clearness. Such
a condition could only result from an unu-
sual electric disturbance Of the atmosphere.
The aurora displays of the present year
have been unusually brilliant and nurler-
Gus, and their greater frequency seems to
be coincident with the more wonderful ex-
hibition of the sun spots which have char
acterized that body lately. The unusual
electrical commissions in the solar atmos-
phere are reciprocated by similar lectrical
disturbances in our own, and our magnetic
currents are violently perturbed with every
new evidence Of mineral outbreak in the
solar photosphere.
On Tuesday night the display was again
very grand. Immense columns of red light
in the west and southeast and reaching
nearly to the zenith, was the center Of at
traction.

"A head of cabbage Invested of loose leaves

very large, and of excellent quality. He
informs us that he raised over buShel of
tomatoes from three plants this year, more
