The Suffering in Ireland-A RapaciOus
Landlord.
NEW YORK, May 3.

NEW YORK, May 3.
James Redpath, in q letter from
Mayo, Ireland, tells this story:
waiter NJ. Bourke is the largest landlord
proprietor in Clare, and his tenants are the
poorest people in it. He borrowed 9100 from
the Board of Works to give employment to
his tenants He employed those tenants who
had not paid their rent, and agreed 10 pay
them six shillings per week, but he kept it for
rent due
Speaking of the people, the writer says:
" found them, in the west, sad and desper-
ate. The people are care-wOrn and broken
hearted. Old men and boys, old women and
girls, young men and maidcns-all are grave
or haggard, and every household is as If the
plague of the trSt-bOrn had Smtten it that
day. The famine has tanned their restless spir-
its, and they crowd around a bit OF peat fire
without uttering Il word. Often they do not
look second time at stranger who comes
into their cabin"
Father COrbitt aseGred Mr. Redpath that the
political agitation put 100000 into the ten
ants pockets, by preventing unjust additions
to the rack-rCnt, and it gave them whuie
sWamps of peat. The priest also said that
Sir Robert BlOSs has an annual rental of 80,
O10 He gave go to the relief fund, the only
one of twenty great landlords who gave any
thing.

THE President, on the 4th, vetoed the
Marshals' Deficiency bin, on the ground that
the bill " contains legislation not relevant to
the application or expenditure Of money
thereby appropriated" A further objec-
fion is that such legislation materially
changes and by implication repeats import
ant parts Of the law for the regulation Of
United States elections. which tends to
deprive the Executive Of that equal and in
dependent exercise Of discretion and judg-
ment which The Constitution contemplates.n

A NEW MEASURING IMPLEMENT.--A
remarkable implement was lately de-
scribed before the "SOciete d'EncOur-
agement pour rIndustrie Rationale"
1t is called PHOTOGRAPH, because when
in use it mechanically traces on paper
the outlines of the ground over which
it travels. A foreign contemporary de-
scribes it as a small carriage mounted
on two wheels, drawn by one man, and
attended by another who marks the
levels of the proper places, and under
meath hangs an iron rod with large
ball at its lower end serving as pen
dulum. This pendulum maintains a
constant vertical position. while the
machine inclines in one direction or the
other, according as it ascends or de-
sends slope. To the upper end Of
the rod is fitted a pencil, which marks
on a sheet of paper the ups and, downs
of the country traversed, whether on
an ordinary road or across trackless
fields. The exact profile is thus re-
corded to a given scale. At the same
time one of the wheels acting as a
chain-bearer measures and indicates
the distance travelled throughout the
survey.

Is THERE 4 CENTRAL SUN?-Madler
announced his belief that Alcyone, the
chief star OF the Pleiades (the Seven
SisterS), was the central star of the
universe, which led men to think that
the stellar system, like the solar syS-
TEN, revolves round n center. The
only evidence Nader had for this Opin-
ion was the drift of the stars of the
constellation Taurus in one direction.
This has since been proved to be no
evidence. rs similar drifts have bcen
observed in other directions. Mr..
Proctor comes forward with his opinion
that the whole theory is myth, and not
supported by any astronomicalfa fact.

A CHARLESTON newspaper notes a
steady decline in the price of strawber-
ries il South Carolina since they were
first cultivated for Northern markets.
In 1872, they brought an average price
of 81 cents quart; in 1873, 80 cents;
in 1874, 80 cents; in 1875, 29f cents: in
1876, q cents; in 1877, 20 cents: in
1873, eleven and One-ffth cents; in 1879,
II cents; and this year the average is
estimated at about 124 cents. The de-
cline in price is, of course, easily trace
able to the increase of the crop raised
and to the nominally lower price of all
products due to the return of the cur
rency to a specie basis. Taking the
acreage this year at 225, and the aver
age yield at 1000 quarts to the acre,
the yield will be 100000 quarts, which,
at an average of 125 cents a quart, viii
return an income of $4,000.

A LATE Washington special says: 1t
is thought here that the Government will
not be successful in keeping out the pros
pectorS now preparing to enter the Ute
Reservation. The Cabinet, in considering
the matter to-day, decided to issue no procla-
nation, but TO direct Gen. Mckenzie to
move into the neighborhood Of the reserva-
ton with a sufficient force to maintain order.
Secretary Schurz said that he was very
much afraid that there would be another
Indian outbreak this spring. The de-
Law in Congress in deciding upon the
terms Of the Ute agreement was aggra-
waiting matters seriously. All reports from
Colorado show decidedly unsettled eondi-
tian Of affairs. Miners are determined to
enter the Ute reservation, and viii make as
vigorous efforts as they did 10 enter the
Black Hills. If Congress delays much
longer Gen. Mckenzie will be able TO do
nothing. 1t is altogether a different case
from that Of an invasion Of Indian Terrific
~. Gen. Mckenzie is sent ont to keep mat
tiers as quiet as possible until the Ute agree
ment is ratified, and then all cause of trou-
Bile will be obyisted.
