MIR: SMALLEY telegraphs to the Tribune
| from London: The gravity of the stu a
ton in Ireland occupies English attention
almost to the exclusion of the foreign and
colonial difficulties. The reports during
the week from Dublin conflict alike respect
ing the prosecution of the land-league
leaders and the policy of the Irish execu-
tive touching the whole question. The
latest accounts say the government intends
to indict six of the leading agitators, Mr..
Parnell included. Growing Impotence is
manifested by the Irish landlords in re-
gard to what they consider to be hesita-
ton on the part of the government.
This Impotence is shared by the
English public, who begin to perceive that
the agitation is directed, not against bad
landlords merely, but, so far as it is agrarian
and not political, against the principle of
ownership in land except by actual occu-
piers who cultivate the soil. Threatening
letters multiply daily. No one of them
has affected public opinion more than
that which has compelled Lord Clancurry
to abandon his estate, although he was
engaged in no quarrel with his tenants or
laborers, nor had he raised rents or evict-
ed occupiers. He was even popular per-
sonally, and consistent toward everybody.
His sole supposed offense is that he at
tempted to farm lands when the leases fell
in and new tenants could be obtained. The
impossible for them to guarantee his
safety.

A sEM1-oFF1C1AL article in the Army and

navy's report upon the subject of reorgan-

ability that means will he furnished for
the commencement of new navy,
the secretary of the navy will be
justified in preparing and recommending
plans for the construction of such ships of
war as are first to be attempted. The Sec
rotary has already received plans from sew
eral of the naval constructors for vessels
which, in their opinion. are best adapted
to meet our wants at the present time.
These proposed vessels are for the most
part unarmored cruisers, for which, how
ever, there is not now SO much need as for
some vessels of a longer and stronger class
than any we now have.

Begging in Seven Languages.
PHILADELPHIA Time!

One of the most persistent street beg
gars, superior to all rebuffs, who has
piled his trade along Chestnut, Arch
and Spring Garden streets for four or
five years past, has been Charles Wag-
ner: a German, wearing spectacles, who
generally sported clean linen. 1t is
said he can beg in seven languages.
He was arrested year ago and taken
before magistrate Smith, to whom he
promised so earnestly to discontinue
his mendicant career that he was re-
leased. Yesterday, when he accosted
an old gentleman on Chestnut street
and would not be "bluffed" off, he was
reported to the police and arrested. He
had over So in his pockets. A number
Of persons who knew Wagner and had
been annoyed by him for several years
past, including a representative of a
charitable association, appeared against
him. He said he was a teacher Of Ian
guages. He promised to leave the city
if released. and -implored the magistrate
not to send him to the house of correc-
ton.

FRANK BURY was robbed and hanged
by some Cinnamon, several years ago,
near Gold Hill, Nevada. Soon after
ward he met one of the rascals and
killed him. A clever and plucky use
Of his own knife had severed the rope
in time. A later exploit increased his
reputation on the Pacific coast. He
froze the fingers Of one hand, and a
physician told him they would have to
be amputated, at a cost of 500. He
decided to save the money by doing
the job himself. He fastened one blade
of a pair of sheep shears in a wise,
stuck in his hand, and struck the other
blade a hard blow with sledge. 1t was
successful operation. These episodes
in his history are culled from his obitu-
airy, for he has just been killed in a
barroom row.

A Hero.
knoxville Tribune.

Charles Owen, express messenger on
the train that was wrecked last Friday
evening, was struck between the shout
ders by box, temporarily paralizing
his arms, but when offered a glass of
whisky by the physician he refused,
and When the doctor urged him he
again refused. Insisting, the medical
gentleman and several others standing
near told him he must take it to save
his life. "No, SIR" said the young
man, firmly refusing. "When went
to railroading promised my mother
that would never touch whisky, and
I'll die here in my tracks before III
touch it," The young man mentioned
is brother of the agent at Knoxville.
He is about 10 years of age, and has
been in the employ of the Southern
Express company for a few months
only. He has been tried on several
roads, and on account of his integrity,
intelligence, and close application to
duty, has been rapidly promoted by his
route agent to the position OF first
class" messenger. He left Lynchburg
Sept. "a with heavy ''run'' of reight
and valuables. The entire train left
the track near Big Lick, and the ex-
press car and contents were all turn to
splinters. Charlie was dragged from
under the wreck crushed and bruised,
and was evidently suffering greatly. His
first words were to call for his safe and
the two boxes Of silver. When brought
to him he extended his bruised body
over them, and watched his valuable
"run" through the long hours Of the
night.

TfEE NEW BIBLE.

The revision Of the New Tesla
ment, which has been under way in
the hands of the most eminent
English and American Protestant
divines, has been completed, and
copies of the new book, from the
hands of the queens printer, McMll-
Ian, who alone is authorized to print
the Bible or any portion of it in
England, are expected to reach this
country in Il short time. How la
borious this work must have been is
shown by the fact that In the New
Testament alone 10000 minor and
1000 important changes have been
made. A very small portion of the
substance of the scripture has been
changed, but obsolete words give
place to modern ones, omissions
from tho present text are made,
and the artificial classification of the
present text into chapters and verses
is done away with.--Ex.

LEGAL CHANGES.

The new code of Mississippi, to
90 into effect Nov. |, 1880, has cut
up by the roots all the ancient disa-
bilities of married women, and they
are now free and equal in every re-
spect to their husbands. 1t is the
most radical legislation yet had on
the subject:
"Sec. 1857. The common law, as
to the disabilities of married woman,
and its effect on the rights of prop
erty ofthe wife, is totally abrogated, :,
and marriage shall not be held to
impose any disability or incapacity
on q woman as to the ownership,
acquisition or disposition ofproperty
of any sort, or as to her capacity to
make contracts and do all acts in
reference to property which she
could lawfully do if she was not
married"
"Sec. 1853. Husband and wife may
sue each other"
"Sec. 1859. A married woman may
dispose of her estate, real and per-
sonal, by last will and testament, in
the same manner as If she was not
married"
"Sec. ITO. Dover and courtesy,
as heretofore known. are abolished" "
Other sections conform the gen.
eral laws to these radical changes.
Husband and wife inherit from each
other all their respective property
if there be no children, and each a
child's part if there be children or
the descendants of children. They
may dissent from each others wills,
and take each others estate accord
ing to law, except that if there be
no children, in case Of such dissent
the dissentient gets only half Of the
estate if he or she has no estate OF
his or her own. If the dissontiont
has property of his or her own
equal to one-fifth Of what he or she
would be entitled to in the others
estate, then the deficiency is to be
made up out of the others estate.
This legislation will attract atton-
ton in other states.--Memphis Ava
