Irish Cable News.

A cable special to this New York
Herald from Belfast of Nov. 4th
says: The decisions on the Land
Commission here to-day are of
great i'm portance. Regarding the
Crawford estate, the reduction
amounts to about rs per cent on
an average over all the property.
The proviso that the landlord il to
pay half of the oounty's cess will
represent an additional saving to
the tenant of about s per cent, or
80 per cent. in all. Tenants have
got the benefit, not only of direct
reduction, but of an increased value
Of tenant right, arising from the
reduction. In the revised rent the
landlord pays half the county cess,
equal to one shilling on o pound.
There are now 1900 applications
before the Land Court, and the
only hops of the Commission get
ting through their work in de-
cade is that the landlords, finding
that sweeping reductions are being
made, will offer rs or 80 per cent.
to their tenants; while the tenants,
finding that the Com missionsrs are
forcing each side to pay their own
costs, will agree to an arrangement
In order to save costs.
Archbishop O'Rouke, of Cashel,
in replying to the address of the
Brennan Land Leauge, advised the
tenants to tender fair rent, md If
1t was refused the fault would not
be theirs. 1t would show that the
Irish can, for their country's sake,
endure insults and injuries. He
declared that the Government had
established q reign OF terror.

Carving Ills Skeleton Outside.

The tortoise has not accomplished the
feat of taking off its flesh and sitting IN
its bones, but it has done tue next thing
to it. 1t is the first example OF skele-
ton brought to the surface; the back Ii
incapable OF movement, and the scales
with which less ambitious reptile Is
content have developed into the horny
shield which covers it, while the bones
Of the breast have developed into box
capable of containing the creature, head
and legs and all. In fact, il we belonged
, to past generation when inane plays
upon words were takenfor wit, we should
have most probably said that the chest OF
the tortoise is box to hold It's trnilk.
The horny integument OF the Schi'd-
krote, "shield-toad," Us our Teutonio
brethren so graphically call him., Is
scarcely less rich in associations than
his family name, suggesting, among
crowd of other memories, the high tor
toise-shell combs, short waists, whist and
pump-room manners OF the beauties OF
the Regency. The arrangements Tor

absolute protection against foes. The

a habit of inserting his paw into the

The turtle, moreover, is at disadvant'
age when turned over on its back, which
is favorite method Of securing those
which come ashore to lay their eggs:
Against ordinary dangers the thick shield
is very useful safeguard; but the I'M
possibility of receiving any impression
through the skin Of the body must have
its disadvantages, too. How, for instance,

NUMEROUS lynchings, that are called
disgraceful proceedings, are the out
growth of the laws delay. Criminal
trials that are based upon legal technl-
oalities without regard to the atrocity OF
the crime under consideration must
necessarily be farce, and the frequency
of such trials is wearing out the patience
of the people. Public opinion does not
stop to inquire into the legal verbage
upon which lawyers and judge STUN
BILE and squabble over, and will
have none of it. Whether the pris-
oner is guilty or not, as charged,
is all they ask, and if guilty, they want
to see him punished; if not, then he
should be discharged at once. Inquiry
should be to the point and punishment
prompt The plea Of insanity as de-
tense should require the symptoms to be
so marked that experts would not be re-
auired. A man who is so sane that an
ordinary person cannot decern mental
arrangement is sane enough to hang.

WY LITTLE WIFE.


shs isnt very prsts,
80 say my lady friendA;
She's neither wise nor witty
With verbal odds and ends.
No heehug freaks of faAhiol
Across her fancy run;
She's never In passion -
Except tender one.
Her voice is low and cooling;
She listens more than speaks,
While others talk Of doing,
The duty near she seeks.
IT may be but 10 burnish
The sidcboard's scanty plate,
Or but with bread to furnish
The beggar ut the gate.
So ], who zee what graces
She sheds On lowly life,
To fashions fAircst faces
Prefer my little wife.
And though at her with pity
The city danes may smile,
Who deem her hardy pretty
Aud sadly out OF style,
To me she seems a creature
So unsteady sweet,
! would not change one feature
One curve from! crowntO feet.
And If | could DO never
Her lover and her mate,
] think be forever
The beggar at the gate.
