ENGLAND,S OLD NOBILITY.
~ Ow the Great Land low ners oh.
tained Their Estates.

The London Echo has been publishing
an interesting series of articles entitled
"Our Old Nobility" in which the growth
of the noble families Of England has
been portrayed. In concluding article
the writer thus sums up his views:
In 100 chapters have briefly sketched
the agrarian history Of majority Of our
most notable aristocratic houses. In my
selections I have net been guided mainly
by the greatness of their possessions, but
rather by their historic interest or pres
ent prominence. Thus / have included
some like the Erskines and Fanes whose
estates are small, and have altogether
omitted peers like Lord Tredegar, with

1t is said that the Emperor Alexander
of Russia has become a confirmed by.
pochondriac. He shuts himself up fol
days, and can with difficulty be per
suaded to take food, which must be left
at his chamber door. He frequently
bursts into tears, and is afflicted with
strange dreams. On the nights when
these seize him two doctors sit up in his
bedroom. In short, it is supposed he
is mentally affected, and his long seclu-
sion at Livadia. it is believed, is to be
devoted to system of treatment which
will either kill or cure.

The rabbit hunters returned on the
freight train last evening, bringing with
them to this city IA dead jacks. The
whole number killed as near as could be
estimated (of course it was impossible to
give the exact figure) was LOIS. The
way it came about was this: As soon as
the party reached the hunting grounds,
c. Z. Wallin and G. A. Black were
chosen leaders to select the sides, and the
party divided into two squads, number
ing fifteen each. Finally Messrs. Hark-
ness and Hill were chosen as the respective
captains, and the slaughter commenced.
The line had not been formed twenty
seconds when lively fusilade commenced,
and continued from the left to the ex-
treme right wing of the shotgun army.
Stray shot were very plentiful, and as a
number of them found targets in the legs
of one or the other of the hunters, the
line became demoralized, and skirmishine
became the order of the day. The shoot.
ing was incessapt, and the din continued
until noon, when the boys repaired to the
section-house to brace up and count jacks
BY this time two wagons were loaded, and
gas flew freely during the unloading and
counting of the innocent, dead. Hills
party was ahead, and maintained the lead
until the finish.
The result of the team shoot was.

mate was taken, and a careful count

our avocations-ofth the name of chris

day, to depart from carth-living. with
our work done, and well done, and laid
