ing as sacrilege and the man goes to Europe to gain his peace of mind. He cannot keep away, but comes back, and their relations to each other are put upon the basis of Platonic friendship. The arrangement, how ever, breaks down, and in order not to lose her friend altogether she finally marries him. There is some strikingly picturesque sketching in the story. and though the scene is laid in 8 refined home, the slums and drunkenness are introduced, and the result is an effective temperance lesson.

 "A Gentleman of Leisure" by Edgar Faw- ners of certain New York people. Wain- wright, the chief character, is young man of American birth who has passed his life in Eagland and has become thoroughly Angi- cized. He comes to New York to look after some business, and then is introduced into the most select circles of society. What he sees, the follies and defects, the want of pat riotism and the shortcomings in character, of the young men of New York, are the subjects of some very clever portra1ture.

 The action of the English House of Lords in throwing out the most sweeping clauses of the Land bill has, according to corre- spondent of the New York World, stirred the country from end to end He says: Men see that the battle between the democracy and the plutocracy is at hand, and there is an un- comfortable feeling abroad that grave political and perhaps constitutional changes are im- minent. Nr. Gladstone, who had a long interview last night with Lord Gran vile and Lord Carlingford, his ieutenants in the Lords. gave them liberty to say that he will not yield hairs breadth in this strug- gle, and that he will seize the opportunity of calling the attention of the country to the fact that the work of an entire session of a vast majority of the peoples representa- tives can be destroyed in few hours by the upper house. The Duly Netos and the Pal Mall Gazette call upon the Radical forces to unite in demanding the abolition of the Lords. The Birmingham caucus, the headquarters of borough Radicalism, has al ready despatched swarm of stump speakers into the midland counties and the north to cry Down with the Oigarchy '" Mr Bright, snifing the battle, has written letters intended for publication in which he assails the Lords with all the vshemence of his early and all the.acrimony of his latter days; and the Democratic league, headed by Mr. Joseph Cowen, of Newcastle, is sending out tons of that peculiar literature with which the advanced Radicals flood the country in election times. At the Carlton and Reform clubs the hustle reminds ono of the eve of general election.

Our lady readers will be glad to know that they are likely to be able to get beautiful os- trich feathers if they can pay for them. Os trich farming in South Africa is now devsl- oping yearly, while in former times the SUD- ply of feathers was wholly dependent on the wild birds In 1865 only about eighteen thousand pounds were exported from the Cape Colony, valued at about $300,0O Last year within fraction of 100, 900 pounds came from the Cape, valued at about $3,- 500, 900. Ostrich farming has increased the beauty of the feathers and herewith nearly doubled the value of them.

The new system of government at Ann herst College is highly commended by Presi- dent seelye who says that all the members of the faculty agree that "they have never known year where so much honest work has been done in the college and with such healthy results'' as in the last year. Re- sponsibiIity for the work done has had the natural result of stimulating the industry of students. The average attendance has been raised by requiring nine tenths of the exer- oises, letting the rest go and giving no ex- cuses, and this arrangement has also re- moved the friction which once existed over excuses of all sorts.

Some of the landlords in Great Britain see that rents are too high, and they are sagacious and humane enough to reduce those which they control Several Scotch land lords have recently made important rent re- auctions, and now it is learned that reduc- tions have taken place on three of the best known estates in England. Mir. Gladstone has taken of 10 per cent. at Hawarden, which is the third time he has made reduction there, the two former ones having been 15 per cent. each. At Hughenden, the resi- dence of the late Lord Beaconsfeld, the agents have returned 20 per cent, and this is said to be in accordance with the late owners expressed intentions. On the Duke of West minister's, Eaton HaH Estate, near Chester, notice sbeen given that at the forthcom- ing audit 25 per cent will be returned.

and paid no further attention TO him. Pres
emily Aleck Martin entered the room from
the back door, aud was followed by Elias
Harris, who went TO the fire to get light
for bis pipe. A few minutes after the re-
port OF pistol was heard ard harris fell to
the ground. Lauier said, "Let me get out
of here" and started TO Fuu out of the door,
and in doing so jumped over the body OF
Harris. Martin grabbed Lanier and said,
you cannot go out of here" and his
brother Aleck also caught hold OF him.
Lsuier struggled to get away, and pre-
sented his pistol in the face OF Aleck Mar

Lanier then managed TO free himself and
escaped. Hiram Martin stated that the
shooting was done without sDv provocation
whatever He did not see Lanier fire the

twee Harris and Lanier, and there was no
quarrel on the night Of the shooting.
