A LONDON Times dispatch of the 10th
inst, from Cork says: VIM. Bence Jones,
an Englishman and large land owner re-
siding at Lissilare, county Cork, writes to
the Times that he has expended e25, 900 on
the Improvement of his property and has
hitherto enjoyed good relations with his
tenants, but because he refuses to accept
the Griffith's valuation his tenants have
been deferred by threats from paying their
rent, He is threatened that his grave
will be dug opposite his door; his labor
ers are compelled to leave him and none
dare buy his produce because when it is
sent to market it is surrounded by a howl
ing mob. A correspondent of the Times
at Cork says when Jones, Tuesday tried
to ship so head of cattle and sheep to
Bristol for sale number of large ship
pers informed the steamship company
that they would cease their dealings with
it if the cattle were shipped and the COM
pany consequently refused to take the
cattle az also did the Clyde shipping COM
pany. Finally the droyers refused to tend
the cattle, which after straying thorough
the streets were finally driven by the po-
lice to the Great Southern railroad and
that company forwarded them to Dublin
by train, in spite of the efforts of the Boy
cotters to prevent the company from sup
plying the train.

A Suggestion to Congress.
National Live Stock Journal.


The Illinois State Board of Agricul-
tufe did an eminently proper thing
when it issued a circular, addressed to
the members ofcongress in the Western
states calling attention to the article
entitled Suppress the Contagion or
Hedge it IN" which appeared in the
November number of the Journal, and
inviting them to attend meeting, to
be held in this city, November 18th,
while the fat stock show was in pro-
gress, to consider the question alluded
to IN that article
The meeting was held in the Grand
Pacific Hotel, and was largely attended
by members of congress and prominent
stock raisers from many of the states
and territories. No gathering of a SIM
liar nature has ever been held in this
country that could at all compare with
it In character Ofthe attendance. From
the common farmer, who keeps ten to
fifty head of cattle, to the ranchmen OF
the western plains, whose herd num-
bers tens Of thousands, lively sense of
direct interest in the subJcct-matter
under consideration was manifested by
their participation in the proceedings.
The large shippers and dealers were
also present, and ali intent on securing
protection to the herds Of the west
from the infection of pleuro-pneumonia
and the bringing about of such state
of things as will enable the United
States to go with clean hands and de-
mand the removal of the restrictions
that now hamper our trade in live cat
tie with Great Britain.
The meeting was called to order by

TIE Panama canal project came up
in the house lately. Mr.. Crapo, Of
Massachusetts,, introduced, and had re-
ferred to the committee on foreign af-
fairs, Il resolution setting forth that the
construction of the canal is hostile to
the established policy of the United
States and in violation of the spirit of
the Monroe doctrine, and cannot be
sanctioned by this government. Secre-
tary Thompson, who was subsequently
interviewed on the subject, says that
when it shall come to a question of the
absorption of the smallest portion of
Central American territory, he will
favor using the power of the United
States to prevent it; but he asserts that
the construction of the canal involves
no antagonism to the traditional policy
ofthis country, nor any contest for the
control of the route. 1t is a private
enterprise, and the nationality OF the
men whose capital is employed is of
no consequence.

Remarkable Bets.

Aug. 90 last was the anniversary of a
very remarkable bet made 130 years
ago between the Earl of March, subse-
quently fourth Duke Of Queensbury,
and one Mr.. Theobald Taate, The bet
was that the Earl of March should find
a four-wheeled carriage with four hor-
ses to be driven by a man nineteen
miles within the hour Lord March
won his bet, for the carriage performed
the distance in fifty-three minutes
twenty-seven seconds. 1t was a vehicle
especially constructed for the purpose,
and was so light one man could easily
carry it over his shoulder So careful
were the precautions of Lord March
that the wheel-boxes of this extraor-
dinary conveyance were provided with
reservoirs Of oil calculated to drop at a
given rate and to last for day. The
same Lord March was the one who
wagered thathe would send a message
the distance of quarter of mile,
and without the aid of a horse, faster
than any horse could carry it. He won
his bet by inclosing the message in a
cricket-balf, which was thrown from
hand to hand by relays of professional
cricknterS.
