Nh. BoUc1oAuIT.-An advertisement, else
where printed, shows the character of the
compliment that will be paid to Mr.. Bouci.
caulr at Wallack's Theatre on Saturday even
ing There will be o presentation, speech
from Judge Brady, and other graceful oourte-
sizes to this admirable actor and author. The
names OF the men who unite in this testimo-
NAL will indicate its value. Mr.. Bouclcault
has earned il, not alone by the creation of ''The
Shaughraun," but by many years OF earnest
effort to elevate the comedy and by the crea-
ton of new school Of dramatic art. It
comes most fifty now, when there are so many
attempts, not alone to deprive him of the adj
vantage of his work, but to deny him any
merit whatever. Scaliger SAID, "Whoever
walks In the sunshine Of fame must be fol-
lowed by the shadows Of envy" The shadows
have followed Mr.. Boucicault certainly, but
he will feel on Saturday evening that New
York can recognize and honor true genius
and patient work.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.-France is very
anxious about mounting her cavalry, and to
that end sought to purchase horses in Ger
many. The Germans have, however, no in
rsntion of aiding France to mount her war
riors, and so Kaiser William has issued de-
cree forbidding the expectation Of horses. The
decree is, after all, of questionable wisdom, as
France can get plenty of chargers outside
the Fatherland

THE Ice BLOCKADE are entertained
that with the first rise in the Delaware River
Port Jervis will be crushed by the moving ice.
People are already abandoning their houses
on the river banks. Some experiments with
small charges of gunpowder seem to have pro-
duced no effect, but if the experiments were
made on larger scale important results
might be obtained Charges of three pounds
of powder cannot be expected to accomplish
much. Why not try charge of three hun
dred

Police MnsxANAoEArENT.-Thec case of Jacob
Stockvis is likely to throw some important
light on the management of our police courts
and public prisons 1t is not very creditabls
to the administration of justice that outrages
like that which cost Jacob Stockvis his life
can occur under the very eyes of our courts
and in the very department of the city govern
ment which is supposed to watch over and
protect the citizens

SHAHKET, the murderer, has been released
by the Spanish authorities, ond it is thought
that he would be surrendered on demand
from Washington. lie is looked on with con-
tempt as a cowardly rufiian, and his conduct
toward the woman who saved his worthless
life has created so strong feeling against
him that the authorities at Havana would, no
doubt, surrender him on a request being prop
erly made.

TIE CUBAN WAR-The news from the
Cinco Villas is decidedly untavorable to the
continuance Of Spanish power. The govern
ment keeps silent in regard to the progress Of
the war, and silence means defeat. SO far as at
present known the destruction of sugar estates
by the troops of Gomez has been enormous,
and the crop is very likely to be comparatively
small, rs the destruction continues. III sue
tiles to drive the insurgents across the Trocba.
We are of opinion that they like their change
of quarters and have made up their mind TO
stay.

JOHN Mitchell has again been nominated BY
his friends as candidate for Parliament from
Tipperary. As there is no possibility of hi
taking his seat if he should be again returned
and as it is understood that he would not
qualify by taking the oath of allegiance even
if pardon by the Grown should open the
doors of Parliament to him, his conduct seems
more like that of petulant woman than Of
sensible, practical man. he cannot even spita
the British government by his refractory
course, for Mr.. Disraeli loses nothing
by having one Of the opposition seats
vacant The fact that the other Irish
seats are filled by members in full sympathy
with their Irish constituencies shows that
Mitchell is not pursuing course which any
considerable portion of his countrymen ap-
prove, and we cannot see that his passion fol
notoriety is likely to be Of any benefit to
Ireland. If it is his policy to promote the
secession of the Irish people from English
rule he might learn lesson from his old
friends in the Confederate States, who would
have scorned to solicit votes for seat in tho
federal Congress after they had decided to
dissolve the Union.

body had o few minutes before deliberately
rejected by majority of six He must have
known that he was contravening the declared
will of the Senate, and ought to have known
that the Senate ceased to be bound by its
former action on the bill as soon as the
House disagreed to its amendments and the
bill was sent to o committee of conference
The Senate was as free to reject the action OF
this committee of conference as it would have
been to reject that of any other similar COM
mittee, and Mr.. Wilson's friends have reason
to be panied and mortified that he stopped to
be party to such trick in violation of par
iamentary rules and against the deliberate
action of the body of which he is the presiding
officer.
Fortunately, President Grant was too well
advised to fall into this base trap. He prop
erly refused to sign bill which came to him
in so irregular q manner, and the Bounty bill
is as dead as if the Vice President had moi
acted on hasty impulse and become the tool
Of such demagogue as Logan. We are glad
of this opportunity to commend the sound
judgment and wise action of President Grant

Too MUCH LAND.-Do our farm. CTS ever take it into consideration that one-third of the money they have invested in land is worse than useless? Such is the fact. We venture the assertion, pays fully one-half of the taxable land that no revenue to the owner. Our farmers own too much land-- or, at least, cultivate too little of what they own. Ten acres of timbered land is amply sufficient for one hundred and ninety acres of cultivated land, and this useless surplus is only idle money, but it is being gradually absorbed year by year in the payment of taxes. Much better would it be, indeed, If our country was divided into small, well-tilled farms, such as we see in the Eastern and some of the Northern States. Small farms are more productive, less trouble to the owner, and yield a far greater revenue than larger ones. Remember this and try and dispose of your unproductive land to those who will canse har- vest fields to bloom where now stand useless forests and earth covered with the wreck of centu- ries.-Spencer Journal.
