All the nervousness, embarrassment and fer
brile excitement attendant upon popping the
question" in highly civilized countries are
avoided by young men of the Tehulian Tartar
variety DESTROYS to marry, whose simple and
discreet custom it is to ascertain their chances
of success or failure in matrimonial enterprise
by the following proceedings: 1.-THE Tehulian
Celebs in search of wife, having filled brand
new pipe with fragrant tobacco, stealthily en-
tsrs the dwelling of the fair one upon whom he
has bestowed his affections, deposits the pipe
upon conspicuous article of furniture, and re-
tires on tip-toe to some convenient hiding place
in the neighborhood, localgetiquette requiring
that he should execute the strategic movement
apparently undesected by the damsel of his
choice or any member of her family. Present
ly he returns without further affectation of Sc
-crecy and looks into the apartments in a cas-
ual sort of way A single glance at the pipe he
left behind him enables him to learn the fate of
his proposal. If it have been smoked, he goes
forth an accepted and exultant bridegroom; If
not, the offer of his heart and hand have been
irrevocabiy rejected, as not even worth puff
of tobacco BY this ingenious expedient the
pain end humiliation of verbal refusal and
Ruthless pleadings are spared to luckless wooers
and Tartar maidens are saved from importuni-
les Justly regarded as peculiarly trying to female
sensibility. The pipe, considered as a matrimo-
NAL ambassador, has at least this to recon-.
mend it--that it may be relied upon to commit
no breach of confidence if its mission prove sue

Mr.. Gladstone on the Situation.
ARREST OF ANOTHER PROMINENT
LAND LEAUGER.

LONDON, Oct 28.-Mr. Gladstone, replying
to an address presented to him at Knowsley
denied that the government had avoWed that
the Land act had been the outcome of the
Land League. He then contrasted the opin-
ions and policy of Daniel O'Connell and Mr..
Parnell, and said he considered the doctrine Of
no rent sheer. rapine. He denounced hoycot-
tinp. saving that he knew of upward of
thousand cases in which boycotting had been
practiced. He concluded by pointing to the
fact that the people who have been urged to
cav no rent were coming forwsrd with their
money, while the Land Court is working we'll
Mr. Gladstone, in the course of his reply to
the address presented TO him at Knowsley yes
to. day, said; The point was, whether Ireland
is to be governed by laws made by Parliament
or by laws known 10 nobody and written no
where except in the brains of a few persons
and enforced by an Illegal, arbitrary and self
appointed association, which sought to override
by organized attempts the free will of Irish
men. 1t was a question between law and cha
os No fewer than 10000 application forms
have been issued under the Land act, he said,
and this led him to anticipate future peace and
prosperity.
Mr.. O'Sulliyan, prominent member of the
Cork branch of the Land League, has been ar
rested, charged with melting tenants not TO
nav rent in spite of the Governments procla-
nation declaring the Land League to be an IL
legal and criminal organization. The Leaguers
of Fermanegh and Ii trim have issued similar
incitements. An armed band has visited
houses in the neighborhood of Carrick-on-
Shannon, threatening rent-payers with death.
The Standards Dublin despatch says, all the
ladies' leagues throughout Ireland will be i'm
medately suppressed.
