Mr. REDPATH gives a most shocking
picture of the sufferings endured by
the tenants of Lord Lansdown's estate
IN Kerry. These estates cover about
twenty square miles. They have been
governed for several generations by one
family of agents, the Trenches, who
nave had the full support Of the land
lords in all their odious acts of oppres-
SION. The rules" Of the estate cause
the special hardships. They prohibit
marriages among the tenants, except
with the permission of the agents, OF
the sheltering of any person, whether
feia'iVe or not, in any cabin on the es-
tate. Tenants or laborers' children
VINO DO Narry without permission are
e]ected at once. The common pun.
lshment for sheltering strangers OF
visitors is a fine of a gale of rent. A
gale Is half years rent. Several
ueashs have been caused by the opera
ton of these rules. Tenants have beer
hned for sheltering their own children
Women about to be confined have
oeen.turned out to suffer the incle
mencies of winter. Rules like these
are common in Kerry and othel
counties of Ireland. Lord Lansdownt
deserves credit only for inventing them
They constitute the chief difference be
tween the lot of the English laborer an(
that of the Irish tenant, and are a
near an approach to the condition ol
slavery as could be realized in coun
try pretending to be free.

eyes like 40 woman. He wears q

COMPLAINT is made because the presi-
dent has gone to the Pacific coast in the
midst of the campaign.
SITTING Bulls sioux are occasioning
much discussion. There is much differ
ence of opinion among high officials AS to
what should be done with them.

EVERYBODY, including the great officers

Senator Ferry, of Micigan, has been hard

COMPLAINTS still continue TO come uI
from census enumerators in all parts of the
country that they have been unjustly treat
| ed in the matter of compensation. The
complaints vary according to the manner
in which the accounts of the enumerators
| are received. Those who receive pei
diem think they oug hit to be paid pei
! name, when by the latter method they
would receive more, and the department is
besieged from all quarters by enumerators
asking for readjustment of their ac'
counts. Gen. Walker says that no change
can be made in the pay of enumerators ex
cept by specific legislation. and this, he
says, would require reopening OF at least
fifteen thousand accounts. The decision
of the secretary of the interior can not be
overruled, and the men will be compelled
to submit until relief in some other shape
is accorded. Another cause for dissatis
| faction among this class of employees, /:
that they can not get their pay when the,
have earned it; but it is impossible tol
them to be paid any more promptly thar
they are, which is at the rate of severa
hundred day. They are paid in ordeI
of receipt of their returns. About tel
thousand still remain unpaid.

INDIAN CORN.
BY MRS. Z. n. WILSON.

Oh, the corn, the beautiful corn,
Thrusting up through the rich, dark mold;
Two little leaves Of as dainty green
As ever a lily's bulb unrolled.
Gathering strength from mother EARTH,
Taking tribute Of sun and rain.
Of balmy winds and of nightly dews,
To make and to mold the golden grain.
Oh, the corn, the beautiful corn,
Rising stately, erect and tall
With silken tassel and nodding plume,
The nobest, kinglest plant of all;
Its pennons wave, DER ssrried ranks,
Stretching from broad Atlantic's coast. :.
Over the prairies of Illinois
Away to the farthest frontier post.
See the standing army we keep.
Loud we CALL oh people of earth.
Famine shrinks back from our shores dismayel;
Plenty sits smiling beside our HEARTH
And the corn, the beautiful corn,
Hear its musical voices low,
As through the field in the Autumn time
The busy harvesters come and go.
"Y ou helped" !" it whispers. ''Ireland's need:
Now raise poor India's dropping head:
Listen to famishing Persias cry:
Brothers, we perish; ah, give us bread
And as you gather my ripened ears,
Filling granary, crib and barn,
Let all the nations of earth thank God
For Americas beautiful corn"

A Parson Up to Snuff.
From the Congregationalist.

An evangelist, who also is an accom-
plished sleightof-hand performer, is a
novelty. Such a man, however, is Rev.
A. A. Waite, who just now is preach
ing in this city, under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
Formerly he was the assistant of the
notorious Eddys and Davenports, and
he became expert in performing all the
wonders of spiritualism, so-called.
He made an address, recently at
the Round Lake Sunday-School Con
vention, about spiritualism, exposing it
as fraud, and doing and explaining
readily the tricks which its adh Grants
claim are possible only by the aid Of
spirits.
We understand that the leading feats
by which Mr.. Joseph Cook was SO much
impressed last winter were included In
his list.
If what is reported about Mr.. Waite
is true, we think he might do a great
deal of good in opening the
the eyes Of scores of people who either
are more or less openly avowed believ-
ers in spiritualism, or else like Mr. Cook,
are willing to consider it with an eff
