The failure of the land act as a means
of mitigating the hardships which the
tenantry Of Ireland feel that they are
laboring under, is strikingly illustrated
by the recent murder of Mrs. Neil near
Dublin. The crime is also significant of
the desperation which characterizes
these people in administering what
some epigrammatic minister has styled
"the justice of revenge" 1t was COM
mitted, not in remote and secluded
region, but in one of the most populous
suburbs of the Irish capital. Mrs. Neil
resided at Sydenham Terrace, Rathgar.
She had small property in her own
right, in Kings county. Some OF her
tenants had failed TO protect her rights,
and had permitted a right of passage
through a portion of her estate to grow
up by prescription. Hence she deter

energetic, fearless woman, had actually

ward, two men were observed lolterir z
about her house at Rathgar, and later in
the evening, there was knock at the
door. She went to open it herself, and
her husband heard her conversing with
some one in low tone, after which he
heard the discharge of pistol. He
hurried TO the door and found his wife
dying in the hall, and saw man run
ming away from the house. Great efforts
have been made for the arrest of the
murderer, and one of the evicted ten
ants has been apprehended, but it is
very much to be doubted whether any
convictions can be secured.

A RAILROAD RACE.-The Vermont
Central and Passumpsic River railroad
lines are soon to have race to deter
mine which shall have the contract for
carrying the British mails, the one
making the best time to have the award.
This is no new thing. Some 20 years
ago the Vermont Central and the Rut-
land roads were competitors for the
same business, and determined it in the
same manner, the race being from Bos-
ton to Burlington. At that time the
Central was successful, beating the
competitor into Burlington by few
minutes.

A HALF MILLION ACRE FARMER.-Mil-
Ter Il Lux own forty miles Of land on
the western side of the San Joaquin,
and other persons own almost equally
great tracts. 1t is said that Mr.. Miller
is the possessor of half million of
acres in this State; he has nearly lOO,-
600 cattle, and, being shrewd business
man, he is fencing in his great estate,
to reserve it for hi own cattle. He is
rapacious for more land, and is said to
have determined that he will not rest
until he can drive his cattle over his
own land from Los Angeles 10 Sacra-
mento. Two men in Sacramento saw
him sitting somewhere, lost in thought,
and one asked, 81 wonder what Miller
is planning now ?" The other replied,
4" He is making little plan to buy the
rest of the State" Miller IL Lux have
now about l25 miles of fence built, and
will build 800 miles more this year.
Fencing costs them from $500 to $3.50
per mile. OF course these are not the
men who oppose no fence" law

A MURDER story has just reached us
from Brazil, the effect of jealousy in
Paris. A young couple, the Marquis de
Mello and wife, occupied, lately, rooms
at the Grand Hotel, and dined at the
table Ghote. A Moldavian officer sat
near them at the table; the husband
was seized with jealousy without provo
cation save that pretty woman al
ways draws attention. In q moment of
rage he told her he would one day give
her the pleasure Of long tete.a-tete with
her admirer. The innocent wife p.o-
tested, and the young couple went back
to Brazil. The officer, in his travels,
went there, never thinking of the table
dhote beauty. One morning the Mar
quis came in late to breakfast, and sit
ting down before silver.covered dish,
said: " told you in Paris | would give
you some day a long tete a-tete with your
adour." Then lifting the cover he
showed the officers head on a bed OF
parsley. He then drew a revolver, shot
her, and afterwards himself.

TnR savings banks of the country
have acquired, by their earnings and by
unclaimed deposits, large surplus funds,
amounting, in some cases, to millions OF
dollars beyond their authorized capital.
Since 1864, the right of the Government
TO tax these extra resources has been dis.
puted. Three Commissioners of In.
ternal Revenue Rawlins, Delano, and
Pleasonton) have decided against it,
and one Doliglass) in its favor. Finally,
test case was made up and argued
before the United States Circuit Court,
at Pittsburgh. Judge McKennan has
just given his decision, which makes the
banks liable to the tax. Its collection
will insure an addition of several nail.
lions to the revenue of the next fiscal
year.

A PROMINENT lawyer was hailed while
passing a jewelry store, by the proprie
tor, with General, come in here mo-
ment, we have something for you to
solve. If man brings his watch to me
to be fixed, and it costs me ten cents
to do it, and keep it week and charge
him six dollars, what per cent. do l
make? We have been figuring, and
make it 900 per cent, and have only got
up to one dollar. How much do you
say it would be at six dollars ?" "Well,"
replied the General, 81 do not wonder
at your perplexity, for it is well known,
and the celebrated calculating machine
has demonstrated, that at certain points
in progressive numbers the law govern
ing them changes. In this case the law
would change, and long before it would
reach the six dollars, it would run out
of per cent. and into what is known as
arceny.n

PURE Wharf.-The English papers
give us an instance of the deadly effects
of a want of pure water. Previously to
1865, the city of Bombay, in Hindostan.
was annually visited with cholera, and
lost each year several thousand in
habitants. Since 1865, a supply of pure
water has been furnished, and there has
been no case of cholera. In the city of
Calcutta, exactly the same experience

NOTHING makes a parlor more attract.

Costly carpets, curtains, and furniture

great show of wealth does not make a
pleasant parlor, unless artistic taste has

AN old topper was brought before the
Omaha Police Court few days since to
answer to the charge of drunkenness,
and pleaded the constitutional provision
that he ought not to be tried twice for
the same offense, asking the Judge if
there wasn't something of that kind in
the law. The Judge said there was.

Masks and Faces.

Ladies who mask their faces and necks with
enamels endanger their health to, no purpose.
The plaster work deceives nobody. There is
but one article known which will restore a
blemished complexion or create external bril-
lancy and bloom where they have never hereto
fore existed, and that article is Hagan's Mag
nolia Balm. 1t performs this toilet miracle by
lnfusing vitality into the skin. The floral and
herbal juices of which it is composed gently
stimulate the circulation in the minute blood
vessels, and brace the network of nerves
through which they pass. Thus quickened and
strengthen the external covering soon acquires
fresh and healthful hue, and every trace of
sallowness disappears, The palest of cheeks
derive from the identifying baptism of this de-
lightful cosmetic warmer hue, and the arms,
hands and necks, a blonde lustre which the
charlatans, who profess to make ladies beau
tiful forever with their poisonous cement, can
never hope to innate. ..7-rI ss5 T., T

entered the kitchen of Mr.. J. M. Howell,
who lives on .Mabry street, and stole a

of bacon and lard, and one pair of shoes,
andsucceeded in making good their escape.
This kind of robberies are becoming to
be frequent occurrences, particularly in
the outskirts of our city, and some plan
should be studied up by the City Fathers
to prevent these outrages. If the present
police force is not sufficient to pro tect the

portions, let the force he increased suffi,

of maliciously shooting at white man by
the name of Jones. She was kept in the
calaboose until Monday morning, when
she was brought before Esquire yourol-
mon, stood trial, and was acquitted. The
evidence went to prove that the man at
tempted to make hasty retreat with some
paying her for it, when she took the pis-
toll, and not being her own, had no idea of
its being loaded, and used it only to fright
en- the man into paying her for her work
when the pistol was accidentally discharg-

from the prosecuting. party. The evidence
cleared her of any intention of shooting
the party, and she was discharged

The Governor has sold the States interest IN

have been sold at very low price. Besides,
the Governor can not even claim credit for this
policy because the law was passed and put in
to operation before he became Governor. 1t is
true, the State debt has been reduced; but ii
