Irish Tenant Farmers.
Belfast Whig. ]

The duty of making direct appeal in
behalf of the farmers to the landlords
can not be much longer postponed.
From all parts of the island the same
story comes of bad crops, a late harvest
and serious agricultural losses. So far
the farmers have refrained from bring
ing their grievances directly before the
landlords, hoping that the harvest would
turn out better than anticipated; but it
is now apparent that the realization will
be even worse than the anticipation. As
the climax of distress draws nearer
anxiety to know what the landlords arc
inclined to do becomes more intense, and
some plan should be devised which would
bring the two classes into close COM
munion on the all-important subject.
At present we do rot know better
mode of bringing them together than a
Provincial Conference, say in Belfast.
We have frequently regretted the apathy
of the agricultural societies ON matters
affecting the vital interests of the farm
ers, and it seems to us that an opportune
time has arrived for making atonement
for this apathy by convening a confer
ence of landlords and tenants to consider
the crises with which the island is threat
ened. Its reality will soon be put be-
yond cavil. Hitherto the reply of the
landlords has been that the farmers are
always complaining, and that this year
will not he worse in its total profits than
last year. We admit that there are two
extremes which should be avoided-exag-
geration and reduction.
Possibly the farmers are prone to take
dark view of things; but on the other
side the landlords are as prone to describe
them as bright and promising Speak
to most landlords about the depression
and they will say that the farmers have
been doing very we'll. An agent once
asked small farmer how he managed ia
make his money. "By living on potatoes
and buttermilk," was the reply. The
diet is wholesome enough, but small farm
ers are entitled to something better thar
work-house fare. There is something
rotten in that state of things which com
pels farmers to be so penurious that they
can not purchase proper food. 1t is mo-
unusual to hear them denounced as mig
garldy, but this niggardliness has been en-

bed with a piercing cry that made Eu-
phemia tremble in every limb.
"She'll kill me mother! Turn her out!
Save me! There's poison in the drink! l
i"
And then again her speech became in
coherent, and with a few vague mutter-
ings, she sank back once more upon her
pillow.
There was the whiteness of utter hor-
ror on Euphemia's face, when she turned
and left the house as quietly as she had
had entered it; and as she walked through
the cool lanes homeward, for the first
time in many a long day, she tried tc
pray, "Oh! keep me innocent of this sin
l have enough already upon my soul
For the sake of my unborn child, pre-
serve me from the pain of such another
temptation as l have conquered to-
night"

A Balloon Line.

lNcW Oiicaho iieay uho'1
Several publications have lately been
made in regard to a projected line of
balloons to run between Spanish Fort
and New Lake End. 1t has been found
impracticable to construct, without great
expense, a railway between those two
points, owing to the swampy nature of
the ground.
The details of the contemplated balloon
have not been correctly or fully stated,
and are given below. The plan is not
original, SO far as the principles involved
are concerned, but the application is in
genious. 1t is we'll known that, while
balloons have been constructed, which
are capable of sustaining very large
weight, successful method of directing
the course Of the air ship has not been de-
vised.
The plan referred to above utilizes the
full lifting capacity of the balloons, and
provides the means Of controlling its
movements.
Spiles or posts are set along the lake
shore, making a complete circuit, resem-
bling telegraph line. Along these posts,
on the top of which are placed guide rails
of a peculiar form. Fitting these rails,
and sliding freely on them, are riders OF
attachments, to which are made fast the
guide ropes holding and guiding the bal
loon, and SO arranged as to brace it
against the wind from any direction
Fitted in the posts are pulleys, over
which is passed wire, making COM
plete circuit like a belt, and gliding on
the pulleys; and this rope is moved at
any rate of speed by an engine stationed
at proper point in the circuit.
| The balloon is made in an elliptical
form, the length twice the height and
pointed at the ends, thus giving the least
surface for resistance to the atmosphere
From this, suspended by the netting
which envelops the balloon, is an iron
frame, on which the Car is hung by
double pivots similar to ships pinnacle
The weight being in the Car it remains
in its proper position being braced by the
guide-ropes, while the float or balloon
oscillates above it if moved by the wind
The car is fitted with graphing at
tachment which passes through tackle in
frame and to the car. The moving wire
rope is seized by the graphing hook ant
the car and float move forward, drawn by
the endless rope and guided by the rud
ders, which slide along the rails, from
which it is impossible for them to become
detached. If it is necessary to stop, tn,
grapple can be let 60 instantly and th'
car stopped. Any number Of cars Cal
be used following each other at short in
tervals.
The guide ropes can be heightened 3
will and the Car allowed to float at any
desired height, being under perfect con
troll. The posts having only the weigh
of the guide rails and no grading bein.
required, it will be seen that the cost o
construction is comparatively small.
This plan appears to be feasible. 1t re
mains to be seen how it will work whel
put in actual operation. If the attemp
is successful, the aerial route will be ex
tensively patronized. 1t is understoo,
that company is being formed to I'm
dertake the enterprise.

The ODera That Paws.

A New York letter to the Indianapo-
lis News says: went to-day to rehear-
sal of "La File de Madame Angot," by
the new French troupe which is to carry
all before it. Paola- Marie, Angelo and
Capoul are the leading lights of it, as !
mentioned in my last letter. 1t is the
finest troupe of its kind that has ever ap-
peared in this country, and will have an
enormous success. Capoul, who is one
of Europe's great light tenors, comes to
sing in opera bouffe more as lark than
anything else; he needs rest, and this
little tour in the United States will
amuse him. He tells me, moreover, that
he is paid more to sing in opera bouffe
than he ever was paid to sing in grand op-
era. = High art does not pay, he thinks.
Strange to say, was told the very same
thing not an hour before by Maurice
Strakosch, who has been losing money on
Wilhelmj, tue violinist, for the last year.
Wilhelmj is great artist but he didn't t
pay expenses. Strakosch complains bit
terly of the poor houses which greeted
him everywhere but in New York and
Boston, and in New York his audiences
were but fair, not half so large as those
which greeted Ole Bull, an inferior
player. II Strakosch had been able he
would not have taken him out of New
York, but, unfortunately, Wilhelmj is as
lazy as he is talented, and never learns
new pieces; so that after the five or six
concerts he gave here there was nothing
to do but repeat the same programme
over and over again.
To 60 back to the French opera com.
pany. Angelo, who comes here with the
reputation Of being the handsomest wo-
man on the French stage, is really very
good looking-large, graceful, arch in her
manners and an inimitable actress
Paola Marie is little thing, pretty and
as graceful as gazelle.
A peculiar design has been made by 9
Utica artist for the proposed bronze
statue Of General Herkimer, to be erect
ed ON Oriskany battlefield. The figure
in heroic size of the General, is repre-
sented as seated and leaning against /
tree stump, one ankle resting upon the
knee of the other leg, a pipe in hi
mouth. 1t was in this position that HI
gave orders to his men after being wound
ed in battle. The pipe will be a remark
able artistic innovation.

LABOR STATIsTICs.-Thc tenth annual
report of the Massachusetts, Bureau of
Statistics of Labor contains some very
interesting data in regard to some much
discussed subjects. There has been n
great deal of wild statement in regard to
the number of unemployed workingmen,
and the Bureau made special efforts to
collect information on this point \ can
vass was made of all the cities, and n
circular of inquiry was sent to the asses
sors OF every town. Answers were re-
ceived from all but lifty-onc towns, rep
rcsenting population of only 77,459,
out of total of ,65l ,9l2. and producing
only $l3 $50 900 worth OF goods ont of n
total OF S592,33l ,962, and $5,6S3, ,9S3
worth OF agricultural products of total
of $4l ,52i,799. BY the reports received
it appeared that there were 81 ,Sl2 unem-
ployed laborers of which S,570 were
skilled and Is, 252 unskilled. Tho 10
cities showed ~, 1876 unemployed and the
325 towns 9,677 unemployed. During
the last campaign in Massachusetts, il was
frequently declared that there were from
100000 to 100000 out of work in that
State, and at least 5000, 900 in the United
ctotS7s out iuESsilSatiOu SHOWS tlat thC
statement is absurdly extravagnnt. The
/ subject of convict labor which has attrac.
tod 50 much attention is discussed al
great length in the report. 1t appears
| that the total number of State convict:
in the United States in 1873 was only
29,197, and of these, 1856 were under
| contract or employed in mechanical in
| dustries, and it is shown that the products
of prisunylahorrare only about one,fiftl
of ,one per cent. of the manufactures o
the United States, certainly too small ,
quantity TO affect the pay Of free laborers
