Mr.. JOHN BRIGHT wants compulsory
sales of Irish lands held by companies to
Irish small farmers. Strange as it may seem
to us here in free America to talk
about making man or company of mon sell
his property, it no doubt in this instance
would be just. 1t is a fact that English Gu
pudity and tyranny stole millions of acres of
land from the Irish people, to give to
favorites of kings Cromwell stole no less
than 5000, 900 acres of land himself, and,
this being the case, why should not force be
used to compel its sale back to the people to
whom it rightfully belongs? Mr. Gladstone
proposes to repeal the law of entail and COM
pei an equal division of land among heirs,
which will divide up estates and finally lead
to the sale Of lands.

"A gentleman of this city was recently

vote in Kentucky. The gentleman re-
piled: "For Hancock and English. -
WELL" said the gentleman farmer, I'm
glad of it. I've voted the Republican
ticket for twenty years, and never voted
for Democrat in my life; but now Pm
going to vote for Hancock, for if the Re-

ETlQuETTE OF LErTER-w WRITING.

As a rule every letter, unless insulting in
its character, requires an answer. To neglect
to answer letter when written to, is as un-
civil as to negect reply when spoken to.
In the reply acknowledge first the receipt
of the letter, mentioning the date and after
wards consider all the points requiring atten-
ton.
II the letter is to be very brief, commence
sufficiently far from the top Of the page to
give nearly equal amount Of blank paper
at the bottom of the sheet when the letter is
eLd d.
Should the matter in the letter continue
beyond the first page, it is well to commence
a little above the sheet, extending as far as
necessary on the other pages,
1t is thought improper to use haf.sheet
of paper in formal letters. AS matter Of
economy aud convenience for business pur-
poses, however. it is customary to have the
card of the business man printed at the top
of the sheet, and single leaf is used.
In writing letter, the answer to which is
of more benefit to yourself than the person
to whom you write, inclose postage stamp
for the reply.
Letters should be as free from erasures iu-
terlination, blots and postscripts as possible.

to have these appear

A GREAT HIGHWAY,
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF THE sUsQUE-
HANNA RIVER.

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF THE SUsQUE-
HANNA RIVER.
The secret ary of war has sent to the senate
the reports of several surveys for improve
ments ordered by the river and harbor bill of
1879. Among these surveys was one Of the
Susquehauna river. The river and harbor
bill of 1879 provided for an examination of |
the North Branch Of the Susquehanna riv,
er, from Wikesbarre to the New York state |
line, in order to discover how much it would |
cost to make the channel of this part of the |
stream two feet deep at mean low water for
the purposes Of steam navigation. Colonel
j. A. Macomb, of the corps of engineers, was
placed in charge of this work by the war de-
partment and he placed it in the hands of
James Worrall, civil engineer. Mr. Wor
rail- has not confined his labors to a survey of
the proposed improvement in the Susquehan-
na, but has presented in his report, submit
ted to the senate, au elaborate scheme for
establishing canal navigation between the
great lakes and Baltimore, and diverting wes-
tern freight from New York to southern ports
made great national highway. He propo-
ses to mase the North Branch Of the Sus-
qnehanna nav igable from Nauticoke dam,
seven miles below Wilkesburre, to the state
line, by jetties and wing-dams, at cost of
S250,000, This part of the stream he pr.
scribes as a succession OF long ponds separated
| by ripples, which can easily be removed.
The great national highway which he pro-
poses to have established by the government
is to be as follows From Buffalo, by the
way of the Erie canal, $50 miles, to Monte
zums 4; then from Montezums, by Seneca lake
and the Chemung canal to EImira ; then, by
the Chemung and the valley of the North
Branch Of the Su'quehanna, to Northumber
land, and then to Havre de Grace at the
mouth OF the Susquehanna. He would have
the locks Of the Erie enlarged, so that boats
of $50 tons could pass, and would have the
remainder OF the route made to accommodate
boats of this s'zs Eighty or ninety locks
would be needed on the new route The cost
of this national highway he mode,tly plac-s
at S25,OOO,0OJ, just one hundred times the
sum needed for the work he was instructed to
report upon, OF this sum Sj,75O,00O would
be spent from HAVE de Grace to the mouth
of the Juniata nearly 100000 from his
point to Northumberland to the mouth of the
Chemug from this point to Seneca Lake to
Buffalo, through Montezuma, $4,000, 900,
Additions for various purposes raise the cost
to the total given above. The distance from
Buffalo to tidewater by this route is 54S miles
and this distance can be so reduced that it
will be only 20 miles greater than the distance
from Buffalo to New York by the Erie canal
All the products of the Susquehanua valley
would have gone to Baltimore, Mr.. Worra
says, if Philadelphia had not tapped the val
ley 10y canals and railroads. but by thi
scheme he wsuld replace losses of this sort by
conveying the products of the great west d.
rectly to the Chesapeake Bay. He adds tha
: these Improvements could not injure Phila
f delphia.
