Mr.. GLADsToNE's ESTATE An English
newspaper says: I'VE understand that ne
gotiations are proceeding between Mr. F.
Wood, Land Agent to the London and
Northwestern Railway, and the agent to
Right Hon W. Il. Gladstone, M. p, for the
purchase by the Company of thirty acres of
the Hawarden Castle Estate, which have
been found necessary for the extended re-
quirements of the line. The price to be
paid by the Company, we un-
derstand, is $500 per acre. According
to "Batemans Great Landowners" Mr..
Gladstone owns six thousand nine hundred
and eight acres of land in Flintshire, esti-
mated to be valued at G17 ,565. Assuming,
however, the value per acre at the price
about to be paid by the Northwestern Com
pany the total, instead of Ell ,565, would be
f2,072,009. This is, of course, an extreme
supposititious case, but the difference be-
tween the estimate in "Bateman" and the
price paid by the company is, from any
point of view, extraordinary. Mr.. Glad
stones landed possessions are returned at
six thousand nine hundred and seventy
seven acres, valued at flS,6O3.

Too Many Parents.

There is a young lady in st. Louis
who says she has more parents and
step-parents living than any one she
ever heard: "YOu know papa and
mamma never could agree, and so fl
nally they got divorced. l don't say
whose fault il was, but mamma really
did behave ugly sometimes, and even

when the separation came, l went to
live with papa. Shortly afterward
mamma married again, and papa was
not long in following suit. l did not
not like it very well at first, but my
step-mOther turned out to be first-rate
and got to like her splendid. Then
papa seemed to get infatuated with
another woman that hegOt acquainted
with, and she wheedled around him
until she made trouble, and the result
was another divorce, and papa soon
married the woman that made the
trouble. When the second separation
took place l went with my step moth

to help take care of the baby. Then

Pollard six months, went back to her

also urged the authorities to prosecute
Pollard. Meanwhile Pollard stoutly
asserted that he Tor shel belonged tG

merical superiority for ultimately for

he said so or not, he acted throughout
the campaign as if he believed il.
The enormous losses he sustained In
the battles of the Wilderness and at
Cold Horbor did not move him from
his purpose. For every thousand men
that fell other thousands were pushed
forward to take their plrces, drawn
for, as they were steadily. from all
parts of the country. The COnfedera-
cy had no such resources, and the
consequence was that lac wore away
Lees attenuated battaEOns by persis-

tributed to Gen. Grant. If he lost
more men betw. e1 ths RappahannCOk
and the James tkan Lee had liz his
whole army when the campaign in
the Wilderness was opened, he gained
the end in view. He broke the back
Of the COnfedefacy, but it was at frigh-

undoubtedly drawn up and carried
out by Gen. Grant-he "fought il out

Gen. Taylor also quoted Gen. John

authority of an officer on duty in the
War department at Washington, and
overheard a conference between the |

The Singing Of bees Remedy for Rheu-
matism.

The Praeger Observation-Disclosures
Wnckenblatt contains the following
in regard to the cure of rheumatism
by means OF bee-stings. The cores
pondent says: "That his wife having
suffered SO much as to be unable to
enjoy any sleep or rest for the space of
six months, the right arm being al
most lame, preventing the sufferer
from doing any household work, ma
king her even unable to dress or un-
dress herself, and having heard that a
farmer, quite incapacitated by rheu-
matism, had been accidentally stung
by bees, and thereby got entirely
cured, he pursuaded his wife to try
this remedy, as the pain from the
sting ofthe hees would bot be greater
than that already suffered. Three
bees were therefore laid and pressed
upon the right arm for a considerable
time in order that the poison-hladder
of the insects should entirely emyty
itself. The effect arOduced was aston
ishing, as the lady, even on the first
night, was enabled to enjoy long,
good sleep, the first time for at least
six months, the racking paid being
entirely gene. The arm was, of course,
swollen greatly in consequence of the
sting, but the swelling disappeared
gradually upon the application some
ce9lipg poftRn. All pain was gone,
the lame recovered its previOus vigOr-
business, and not the least sign of
rheumatism has since shown Itself.

there is no reason to doubt it. Before
