Africa trouble was at an end, excepting
the payment of the bills. But now Ex-
King Cetewayo is covering the whole
Beaconsfeld administration with dismay,
as with blanket. His Ex-Royal High
ness refuses to wear breeches. He has no
objection to a cooked hat, or celluloid
collar and cuffs, or a gilt watch-chain, or
a pair Of spurs, and has been coaxed into
a variegated calico ulster, but when
any attempt is made to invade the
absolute freedom of his legs, he kicks.
Now this interferes seriously with his
being made a lion Of, of being led around,
tied to the triumphal car of his captors.
He is not available in London drawing
rooms. He don't take we'll at the photog-
raphers, and under the recent decision
of the late Lord Mayor his pictures can
not be exhibited for sale in shop win
dows. Cetewayo thinks with Miss Mary
Walker and Mrs, Bloomer that the mat
ter of dress should be regulated by every
ones private judgment, and he does not
propose to yield one jot or little to the
tyranny of fashion. He is Disraeli's
black elephant and is for sale.

LAND REFORM IN GREAT BRITAIN.

There is easy indications of revolu-
tion in the Empire of Great Britain
that will every salutory for the masses of
the people. The government of that
country has been the very last of mod
ern governments claiming advanced po-
sition amongst the civilized nations of the
earth, to give up feudalism. 1t is quite
evident that the laws of entail that now
tie up the reality, and the right of primo
geniture, which holds it sacred to the
uses of the elder son to the exclusion of
all Others of the family, must and will be
soon abolished. With this will come
needed notifications of the laws regu-
lating the transfer of titles to land. AT
present this expense of conveyance is enor-
nous and for small purchases almost
prohibitory. Everything is against
small proprietorship. and all
existing laws are framed with
reference to the presentation of feudal
oligarchy. 1t is to be hoped that the
revolution which sooner or latter will in
evitab'y do away with this whole OBJ
noxious system will be worked out by
peaceful means. France nearly CEN
tury ago crushed the shell of feudalism
with the strong and bloody hand, and
France is no longer land of serfs or
tenants, aliens to the land that gave
them birth. Even a French peasant is
lord of the little patch of earth which
he cultivates. The other European
States-Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria,
and even Russia-have taken steps to
secure to their subjects homes from
which there could be no summary evic-
ton by grasping landlords or ruthless
agents. Great Britain can no longer re-
sist the demand for land reform without
danger to her national existence.

Lady Lindsay, the wife of Sir Coutts
Lindsay, the originator of the Grosvenor
Gallery, is herself an accomplished artist,
and exhibits every year some charming
pictures. She is composer, several of
her songs being popular. She is a grace
full and handsome woman too and gener-
Gus and kind. She is greatly interested
in London society for the improvement
of the people, and gives not only her
sympathy and her money, but her talent
to its aid. One of her accomplishments
is playing the violin, and it not unfre-
quently happens that in some poor hall
in the East End of London, Lady Lind
say plays to rough and uncultured au-
dience, chosing the music it can most
easily feel and follow.

HUMAN GHOULS.

Probably no emotion OF the human
mind is more tender than that we feel
for the remains of our beloved dead.
The casket which has contained the
spirit of the departed is sacred thing
forevermore, and even the spot where it
is deposited in the earth becomes hence
forth shrine. What horror, therefore,
is awakened in the feeling mind to know
this sacred place profaned, this priceless
object stolen away for the awful desecra-
ton of the dis,ecting room; the features
we have hung upon with fond
est affection mutilated, the ten
der limbs we have Strengthened
for the grave hacked with the
merciless scalpel and subjected to the
heartless jests of the anatomist. A case
of this nature of the most sickening hor-
ror has just come to light, and was pub
lished in our Newport, KY, news on Sat
urday last. The sexton of the Evergreen
Cemetery, near that city, made the dis
covery day or two before that the body
of lady named Mrs. Henry Harvey,
formerly teacher in Newport, and who
had died and been buried in the above
Cemetery four years ago, had been stolen
from the grave, doubtless, shortly after its
burial in December, 1875. The mourning
relatives of the deceased had visited the
spot with flowers and fond mementoes Of
the dead every week and strewn them
upon what is now shown to have been her
empty grave. The beloved remains,
where are they? BY whose sacrilegious
hands torn from their resting-place for
purposes that the very flesh creeps with
horror to think of? Upon what dung
hill have the bones of this refined and
estimable lady been cast, or on what
common left to bleach. while her shocked
and sorrowing relatives sicken at the
thought that they may never know their
resting-pIace, that it is forevermore
denied them to give them Christian
sepulcher?
If there are not laws to suppress this
awful traffic in human remains,
let laws he promptly enacted. If
there are, let them be enforced.
If the ghouls who desecrate the
very sepulcher can not be reached, let
those who profit by these acts Of sacri.
lege be made to answer for such abomin-
alton. If those who ply the trade ol
resurrectionists did not find purchasers
for their plunder their occupation Of
necessity would cease. 1t is therefore
those who hire these vile wretches to dc
their acts of vandalism, those who buy
and pay for the bodies rifed from tha
grave who are the authors and the insti
gators Of their worse than capital crimes

dervish to Mecca with bag of gold to

The eminent journalist, Emile de Cir
ardin, speaking "in the name of the
three millions Of illegitimates that exist
in France, and to the number of which
he does not conceal the fact that he be-
longs" argues that illegitimacy is an err
ror of the law and not disgrace of the
person. He depicts the family of the
future thus: First, the mother, dow
ager, and administering her own fortune
in virtue Of the regime of the separation
Of goods, which is to become the legal
regime in France; second, equality of
the children before the mother and be-
fore the law. In order to approach the
ideal, he thinks the institution Of divorce
must be introduced, but only as pro-
yisiOnal means.

But the infamous traffic is continued;
graves are rifed of their more than
precious contents; the bursting hearts of

more. Gentlemen, either your system
of procuring subjects for dissection or

SEVENTY years, says the PSalmist, are
allotted to man; ripe old age that few
of us, alas! may expect to attain; and yet
these three score years and ten, in all
taeir fullness, the genial Oliver Wendell
Holmes has lived to see and to welcome
the old friends who came to greet him
on Wednesday last, his seventieth birth
day, with a smile as warm and
heart as fresh as thirty years ago,
almost, when as the "Autocrat" he
chatted pleasantly with the readers
of the Atlantic Monthly, and when
he wrote the inimitable ditty of "The
Wonderful One-horse Shay" "that was
built in such logical way that it lasted
exactly an hundred years to day"
The occasion was sadly pleasant one,
participated in by the literary friends of
the autocrat, several of whom read poems
written specially for the occasion. Some
of these were brimful of delightful feel
ing, but none of them breathed the sweet
and plaintive melody Of the autumn
breezes like that offered by the septua-
genarian in whose honor the breakfast
was given:
came not here your morning hour to saddeu,
A limping pilgrim lean ing on his staff
/, who have never deemed II sin TO gladden.
This v, lie OF sorrow with wholesome laugh.
All seemed to feel that the sands were
slowly running in the glass, and that
when next they met perhaps the circle
might be broken. 1t is indeed melan-
choIy reflection that one 50 CHEEKY and
20 warm-hearted as he should feel the
wintry chill draw near apace, and amidst
the cordial greeting Of the present see the
morrow beckoning with SO sad a smile:
Time clairs his tribute: silence now is golden,
Let me MT vex too long the suffering Tyre;
Though to your love untiriDg still bcholden,
The curfew tells me coser up ths fire. ~ :

Some time ago an old man moved from
Texas to this State, and after short
while professed religion and joined the
Church. On the following Sunday, when
the contribution-box was passed around,
he arose and said: '1 regard it as my
duty to do something for this Church,
since you Christians have done so much,
and now desire to show my self-denial,' y
and he pulled out revolver and dropped
it into the box.

SPIRIT UF THE PRESS.
The English Papers Of This Morning.

The Gazette says: The conversion OF the
canal to railroad or any real uses is startling
to our citizens, of whose suggishness in all
the things of progress its placid waters are
a type. Some say that the canal space is
not wide enough for Central Union Sta
ton, rs if all the railroads together could
not add any land to it. An insuperable OBJ
lection is found in that it runs near to the
Music Hall and the Hospital, and that cars
will scare horses. But if used for railroads.
it would be sunk so that engines could pass
under bridges at street grades. OF course
the abolishment of this canal would be a
startling innovation, and the idea is quite
bew,dering to our citizens. most of whom
have come TO think that the world is
finished; but they will awake to it in
time. Meanwhile we are quite will
ing to divide the question, and to

canal this side Of Brighton, regardless Of the
use or non-use OF the space, whether for
railroads, a boulevard, an avenue, a COM
mon for play, or a long ree-planted ave-
nue., reserved like park for footmen and
the rising generation. 1t would make one
of these, the whole length OF the city, wider
than the Eighth-street Park.-.Y Yesterday in

be elected to fill the vacancy in the Police
Board. This was as bright and sincere as
Commissioner Ephraim Morgan's motion,
which the Board adopted, that the Mayors
Clerk be instructed to suppress the obscene
shows. The Board then proceeded
to elect s. s. Davis to the vacan-
cy. Mr.. Davis was Mayor OF the
city during the time when the Mayor
had authority over the police, and Is a
friend to law and order. His election is a
continuation of the remarkable perform
ances of the Board. These vile establish
ments, the obscene shows, must CO. The
fuss made on Sunday was for the purpose
of raising a smoke under cover OF which
the unlicensed shows wonld escape. That
was what there was in the raid upon the
| places of amusement and 1t was all there
was IN It,. He withdrew licenses from the
disreputable shows, and notified the Police
Commissioners 1t was their duty to arrest
and punish those who gave performances
without the necessary authority. That
they did not do, and their course IN that
respect is strictly in keeping with their
treatment of gamblers and professional
thieves generally. The police authorities
can not escape. Neither can the variety
shows. The latter will be suppressed, not
only on Sunday, but on every day In the
week. This Is the work now In hand, and
the present business is TO attend to it.
