The hero of the clerical scandal to
which I alluded last week has resigned
his living. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the whole of the large county with
which he was connected has been thrown
into ferment by the extraordinary dis
closures of the last fortnight. He was
one of the most prominent and popular
men, not only in the diocese, but in the
Church Of England, crack preacher, o
frequent speaker at congresses, Synods,
and similar gatherings, and an able
writer. He made himself conspicuous,
too, by his active support to the clerical
memorials promoted by Canon Liddon
and others against the Eastern policy of
the Ministry in 1876 and 1877, and hav-
ing several years ago declined a colonial
Bishopric, there. can be little doubt but
he would ultimately have found his way
to the Episcopal Bench. His last public
appearance was at the Swansea Congress,
where he delivered an eloquent and very
practical address, and he was to have
conducted "a mission" at Brighton early
in next year, after his return from
abroad. Not the least unfortunate fea-
ture in the affair is the fact that he has a
wife (who has become Catholic, and has
lived away from him for two years past)
and twelve children. / am informed
that, although a High Churchman, he
could hardly be called Ritualist.

This is question often asked, but we
believe has not yet been definitely set
tied. The longest distance that we have
seen mentioned is given in the item be-
low, namely-two thousand miles. But
perhaps Mr.. Edison has had more ex-
tended experiences. If so, we should be
glad if he would let our readers know.
An exchange says that Mr.. Robert A.
Packer, superintendent Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, is at present hunting

A few days ago he for two hours con-
versed pleasantly with his wife and
friends at Sayre, Pa, his brother at
Mauch Chunk, Pa, and friends along
the line. The medium was the Railroad
and Western Union Telegraph wires and
Edison's telephone. At the office in
Bethlehem, Pa, connection was made
with the Raston and Amboy wire, and at
Perth Amboy with a Western Union
wire, and thence to Chicago and North
Bend, Neb., where the party are. The
distance was about two thousand miles,
and every whisper was audible.

A venerable and wealthy widower of
this city, past seventy years of age, who
had been living the celibacy Of a second
widowerhood for several years, went off
suddenly the other day and married the
third daughter of the family to which
he had doubly allied himself by first
and second marriage. There were parties
who objected to the old gentleman's q
marrying again, properly, perhaps, but
he himself knew no. good reason why he
should not. The other day he quietly
took passage to New York, and, getting
off at Connecticut metropolis where
abode the object Of his love, he was
quietly welded, and returned home in
that condition, to the surprise Of his
family and friends. s

me so often of the true aims of life, that
the solitude OF my situation here at the

lonely room, is all the more striking; it
reminds me forcibly of home, and most
of all, my dear mother, of you. ! see
now, in looking over the records here,
how much American soldiers of the right
stamp are indebted to good American
mothers. When they go to the field, what
prayers 60 with them, what tender testl-
monials of affection and counsel are in
their knapsacks. I am struck, looking
over the history of the noble struggle Of
our forefathers for national independ-

THE Irish people have for several CEN
turies been the victims of confscation,
eviction and martial law until the only
wonder is that there remain any Irish
people at all in the land of their fathers.
just how little of Ireland is left to the
race will be seen by the following figures.
The whole area of the island is. about
thirty millions Of acres, nearly fourteen
million of which is owned by less than
two thousand persons, mostly English
men and non-residents. This land was
never acquired from the original owners
by purchase, but by wholesale confisca-
ton. Henry II bestowed about a third
of the land upon his favorites. Six hun
dred thousand acres were confscated in
Munster alone in the year 1886, and
Cromwell, after the close OF the civil
war, took over another third of the whole
island away from the rightful owners
At the close of the reign of Will
liam the iii the native Irish
held only about one-eleventh of the
soil. The warfare between landlord and
tenant resulting from this state of things
has been growing worse and worse for
generations, and during the past five
years four hundred thousand acres of good
arabic land have gone to waste because
the tenants could not pay the rent, and
the landlords would not reduce it, and
evictions, and starvation, and assaesina-
tions, and incendiarism, followed almost
as a matter Of course The British Coy
eminent seems at last to have awakened
to consciousness that some radical
change must be made in the whole sys
tenn of Irish land tenure. No temporary
expedients will remedy the existing evils
The restoration to the rightful heirs to
the soil of what was generations ago con
fscated from their ancestors must bt
made in some shape, and just how this il
to be done is the problem for Great
Britain to solve.

dress she thoughtgood enough to wear.
Friend fashion, we teased her, suggesting
one thing and another to fix up with.
But no, she would not come. We set
forth in glowing terms the splendid time
we would have, mentioning this and that
friend who would be present, and did all
we could to coax her to get ready. Her
eyes filled with tears, and to hide them
she picked up her baby, who was play
Fing at her feet, and began to caress him.
"Never mind, Ulle," said she, turning
to us with smile, "papa may be Presi-

days, and then we will have plenty of
dresses"
